N-9. The FIVE AGES of Jesus!
What do I mean by the five different ages of Jesus? This is something that came to me one morning as I was conversing with the Lord as to why there are so many different beliefs as to who is Jesus? And the thought came to me that all the confusion and controversy of who is the true Jesus is because Christians have not discerned that Jesus was different at different times.
In other words, the reason why there are three main but completely different teachings about who is Jesus is that Christians, in general, have failed to keep the NATURE of Jesus within the five DIFFERENT ages. They have MIXED all five ages of Jesus together. And thus, some Christians have wrongly taught that Jesus, during the days of his flesh, is just the same as Jesus is NOW being seated at the right hand of the Father. And that Jesus NOW will be the same Jesus having the same authority and power during the ages to come after his Millennial reign. Let me explain what I mean by this by slowly getting into the five different ages in several stages. Please be patient. I will do a lot of talking first and then I will give you all the Scripture as I build upon each stage little by little.
AGE #1.
Who was Jesus in all eternity past, having no beginning, BEFORE the word became flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary? From here on out we will call this first age as AGE#1---ETERNITY PAST.
AGE #2.
Who was Jesus DURING the DAYS of his FLESH beginning at the appointed time when the word became flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary to the time when Jesus told Mary Magdalene to NOT TOUCH him BECAUSE he had NOT YET ASCENDED to his God and Father? From here on out we will call this second age as AGE #2---DURING THE DAYS OF HIS FLESH.
AGE #3.
Who is Jesus RIGHT NOW? And by right now, I am speaking of beginning right after the Son of man, Jesus DESCENDED back down to the earth to show himself alive forevermore for forty days, never to die again. Jesus told his disciples, that very same day of his resurrection early that morning to touch him in the evening. In other words, early in the morning on that SAME day Jesus told Mary to NOT touch him but on that same day in the evening Jesus told his disciples to TOUCH or HANDLE him. When that very same day, early that morning, Jesus told Mary Magdalene to NOT TOUCH him BECAUSE he had NOT YET ASCENDED to his God and Father. So to me, when Jesus ascended to his God and Father that resurrection morning was when God GLORIFIED the Son of MAN, Jesus and gave him the divine nature of immortality to never die again.
This third-age is in the present called this present world AFTER the CROSS. For you see, Jesus is DIFFERENT now after the cross than he was before the cross. And this third age, as in, this present world is also known as the church age starting from the cross or day of Pentecost will last all the way up to the second coming of Jesus. At which point in time, OUR glorification to be like Jesus, who is now enjoying his new immortal glorified body of flesh and bones, never to die again, will take place at what has come to be called the rapture of the church. From here on out we will call this third age as AGE #3---JESUS AS OUR MEDIATOR.
AGE #4.
Who is Jesus DURING his 1000 year reign which begins AT the second coming of Jesus, right after the rapture, immediately followed by the wrath of God? And the fourth age will end after the literal 1000 year reign of Jesus has ended and the Son commits the kingdom back into his Father’s hands. From here on out we will call this fourth age as AGE #4---JESUS DURING THE MILLENNIUM.
AGE #5.
Who will Jesus be during the ages to come, after the 1000 year reign of Jesus? These ages to come will begin after the 1000 year reign of Jesus and will continue on into eternity future. From here on out we will call this fifth age as AGE #5.---THE AGES TO COME.
What I just stated above was giving you a very brief overview of all five stages. Here are the same five DIFFERENT ages again. I will give them to you as I, myself, have concluded them to be after weighing all the Scriptural evidence throughout the whole of God’s word considering ALL the Scriptures together. This second stage or section of this study in God’s word will again be a brief outline of what I, myself, have come to believe is the correct and sound Bible teaching of WHO Jesus was in the different ages. I will be teaching on age #1, who Jesus was in eternity past. I will be teaching on age #2, who Jesus was during the days of his flesh. I will be teaching on age #3, who Jesus is now. I will be teaching on age#4, who Jesus will be during his 1000 year reign. And I will be teaching on age#5, who Jesus shall be in eternity future.
And in the stages or sections of this study in God’s word to follow we will slowly build upon each section adding more and more scripture to each stage so you can clearly see the BIG picture in the SIMPLICITY that God has always INTENDED. Here are the five different ages again, with some more detail added.
SECTION TWO
AGE#1---ETERNITY PAST.
In age number one, Yahweh ALONE, by himself, existed in eternity past as ONE being in ONE single person. Jesus only existed as a PART of Yahweh’s very OWN self-same being called the word. And the word existed as Yahweh’s very own THOUGHTS and PLANS WITHIN the MIND of Yahweh.
It was Yahweh’s spoken word that came out OF Yahweh's mouth that was brought forth to bring into existence his RIGHTEOUS Son of MAN. And because of the obedient righteousness of the Son of MAN, Jesus, Yahweh gave him his own divine nature of immortality to the mortal Son of MAN to become Yahweh’s eternal Son. And it was BECAUSE OF the righteous Son of MAN that made it possible for MANY more eternal RIGHTEOUS sons and daughters to become God's new creation.
You see, neither Yahweh’s FIRST BEGOTTEN nor his many begotten of many brethren, who are conformed into the image OF his FIRSTBORN Son, always existed in eternity past except in the MIND, THOUGHTS, and PLANS of Yahweh. It was Yahweh’s plan of salvation to have many RIGHTEOUS sons and daughters. It is Yahweh’s plan to GIVE his righteous sons and daughters the earth. It is Yahweh’s desire to have RIGHTEOUS sons and daughters who would never rebel against their heavenly Father as Lucifer did. We will be covering all the verses to support what I am teaching about concerning each age in a moment.
AGE #2---DURING THE DAYS OF HIS FLESH.
Jesus BECAME the begotten HUMAN Son of God. And then, around age 30, the fully human Son of man was CALLED and COMMISSIONED by his God and Father to go out into the world and preach the coming kingdoms of God. There are two kingdoms of God. The first kingdom is the one we are in, this present world, which came without observation. This kingdom is WITHIN us who BELIEVE. The second kingdom will come with observation and EVERY eye shall see this coming kingdom like it or not. In other words, God prophesied TWO comings of Jesus.
Now I want to point out that there are two Greek words translated as SENT. One of these Greek words means that God was sending, present tense, as in, Yahweh sent the anointed Son of MAN, Jesus, out into the world. The second Greek word means to commission which means to give authority and power to accomplish a task one is sent to do. So God commissioned or EMPOWERED the Son of man, Jesus, to accomplish all the will of his God, and Father sent him to do.
This age #2 was when Jesus was fully a human being, having no divine nature, which the Bible calls the days of his FLESH. The Holy Spirit of Almighty God the Father descended down from out of heaven at the appointed time and the Father began to DWELL IN the Son of man. But before the baptism of Jesus the eternal Holy Spirit was only with the Son of man, Jesus, visiting him morning by morning, as God did with the first man Adam.
So then, the Bible itself teaches us in SIMPLICITY, that it was the Father DWELLING IN the Son of man, Jesus. And it was Father who was the one who did all the works men saw Jesus do and not Jesus, himself, doing the works. Jesus said the Son can do nothing in and of himself and that it was the Father who was the one doing the works.
Then, AFTER the anointed Son of man, Jesus, became obedient to do all his God and Father’s will, even to suffer and die on the cross for the sins of the entire world, then Almighty God, the Father, HIGHLY EXALTED the Son of man, Jesus. Yahweh highly exalted the Son of man by GLORIFYING him by means of giving Jesus the divine nature of immortality. But that was not the entirety of the glorification of Jesus. Yahweh ALSO committed all judgment into his hands and gave him all authority and power to give eternal life to whomsoever he pleases. Again, we will cover all the verses shortly.
AGE #3---JESUS AS OUR MEDIATOR.
Jesus is NOW presently the HIGHLY EXALTED Son of MAN, Jesus, having been GIVEN the divine nature of immortality TO BE HAVING IN himself even as Yahweh the Father has always possessed immortality in himself ALONE. This means that at this present time, the Son of man, Jesus, is the ONLY ETERNALLY begotten Son of God who has become the FIRSTBORN of every creature, the firstborn from the dead, and the firstborn among many brethren. For you see, MANY BRETHREN will be glorified at the second coming of Jesus to also become God’s ETERNAL sons and daughters, as well, having Jesus, as our head, which we do in this present world. The difference will be that the unsaved will KNOW us as their kings and Jesus as the God of the whole earth ruling for Yahweh the creator of the entire universe. And every knee will BOW to the new name given to Jesus after the cross to the glory of Yahweh the Father. The world to come will be like another church age but every person will KNOW that there is indeed a creator God who will judge them BY the MAN Jesus Christ.
In other words, we are living in this present age three, right now in this present world. All the saints who are alive in their mortal bodies are obviously dwelling on the earth while all the saints who have died are in heaven. And we cannot see them with our physical eyes but by faith, in God’s word, we know that they are present with our Lord in heaven. And by faith, we know that Jesus is NOW at the right hand of the Father awaiting his coming or his returning to the earth. And the unsaved have no real physical evidence that there is a God who created all things. BUT in the world yet to come the first generation will be eyewitnesses to the second coming of Jesus. But even then, some will not willingly bow their knee to submit to being ruled by Jesus.
Right NOW Jesus is called a PRINCE and not yet called the King of kings. Right NOW Jesus is indeed OUR Lord and OUR God whom we, as Christians, praise, and worship now in this present world, even as we worship and praise Almighty God the Father. But the now glorified Son of man, Jesus, is not yet RULING as Lord and God over the nations of the WHOLE earth as the Lord and God of the ungodly and disobedient to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Right NOW in this present world, Jesus is the MEDIATOR between Yahweh and man. He is OUR mediator to answer ALL our prayers we pray according to the written word of God. And he is also the mediator to the unbelieving as well to answer the ONE prayer of them calling upon his NAME to be saved.
However, the ONLY ones who will be granted the right to eat of the tree of eternal life AT his second coming are those who call upon his name to be saved DURING THIS PRESENT AGE. Trust me when I say, you do not want to wait until you SEE Jesus coming in clouds of great glory to call upon his name. TODAY is the day of salvation. Again, I will give you all of the Scriptures coming in a moment. And I will expound more on what I mean concerning each age in the stages or levels of this teaching of the whole counsel of God’s word.
AGE #4---JESUS DURING THE MILLENNIUM.
This age fourth age will begin at the second coming of Jesus when Jesus will bear the NAME of the King of kings, and the Lord of Lords. And at the second coming of Jesus, he who will come to rapture all those of us who have become God’s NEW CREATION, being CREATED IN Jesus Christ by our faith in the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, to become born from above by the word of God.
After the rapture, Jesus will IMMEDIATELY execute the WRATH of Almighty God on all who are not raptured and we will help Jesus execute the wrath of God as well.
After the first half of Yahweh’s wrath has been lifted, lest every human perishes, Jesus will then rule and reign over the whole earth with a rod of iron and he will be called the God of the whole earth, by the nations who will be left alive in their MORTAL bodies. Satan will be bound in the pit these 1000 years in the world to come.
Now for all of us that are IN Jesus Christ at his coming, who will receive eternal life at the rapture, we will rule and reign WITH Jesus and we will call the highly exalted Son of man, Jesus, Yahweh our Righteousness. And during the 1000 year reign of Jesus, we will teach the mortal people what Jesus taught us in this present world on how to be saved and live righteously before him. There will be two classes of mortals dwelling on the surface of the earth. Obviously, there will be God’s chosen people, the Jews. And they will be the ruling class over those left alive of all the other nations of the world.
Jesus will teach the nations, including the nation of Israel, to not learn war anymore and during his reign, with a rod of iron, there WILL be peace for 1000 years, for Jesus will be ruling WITH a rod of IRON. And all the weapons will be either burned for heating or beaten into plowshares or farm equipment. And then there will be NO more war until Satan is loosed after the 1000 years have ended. Please understand that Yahweh has his reason for allowing this final war after the 1000 years of peace. And we will discuss that reason further on in this study of God’s word.
Now again, the way that I, myself, am seeing the governmental structure, is that Jesus is given all authority and power to rule on behalf of Yahweh by making all the decisions needed to be made. The only one over Jesus is Yahweh Himself, who will entrust the ruling of his kingdom into the hands of his dear Son, the true and faithful witness, to rule for Him while the Father is taking the day off, so to speak, while his Son rules for him.
The next one in command is all who are IN Jesus Christ in this present world, who are found worthy and given the right to become partakers of the divine nature of immortality, to rule and reign WITH Jesus during his 1000 year reign. Now, I am not going to dogmatically say that in this ruling class of the immortals, who will rule and reign with Jesus, that there will be some immortals that have greater authority than other immortals. But Jesus did say that whosoever is faithful in little will be faithful in much. And there also seems to be other rewards other than our eternal life. So then, it may or may not be that some saints will be given higher positions of authority. I myself rejoice simply in being included in the number of the immortals to rule and reign with Jesus in the world to come. It does not matter to me what my service to the Lord may be in the world to come. But just so you can understand the basics, I am saying that the immortals will rule and reign over all the mortals dwelling on the surface of the earth. This ruling will involve our teaching the mortals the ways of Yahweh.
The next in command, so to speak, will be the house of Israel which is of the seed of JACOB. And they, speaking of the REMNANT of the twelve tribes of Israel, will be one class of mortals. And their life span will be 100 years of age having no premature deaths. They will live from generation to generation repopulating the earth for one thousand years. And they will be LEARNING what they REJECTED in this present world. More on this later.
And the lowest class of people will be those left alive of all other nations including the descendants of ISHMAEL. This will be the lowest class of mortal humans. And they will serve the Jews. Also, Jesus will make them come and bow down at our feet and worship us.
Revelation 3:9.
“Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews (Or say that they belong to Judah or to the house of Judah to who the promise was given), and are not (The children of the promise of the tribe of Judah), but do lie; behold, I will make them (The seed of Ishmael primarily but also the house of Israel) to come and worship before your feet, and (For them, again speaking primarily of the Muslims but also the house of Israel) to know that I have loved you.”
This is because the Christians are the only people who are worshipping Yahweh in Spirit and in truth according to HIS commandment that was PROPHESIED to be given in his New Covenant. And both the Muslims and the children of Israel have REJECTED His ONE commandment to believe in His SON, Jesus as the atonement for their sins. More on this later.
AGE #5.---THE AGES TO COME.
In this fifth age, Jesus will have committed his ruling of the kingdom back into the hands of Yahweh, the Father. And then Yahweh will create the NEW heavens and the NEW earth. Also, at that time after the 1000 year reign of Jesus, Yahweh himself will come down to dwell with his NEW CREATION of ONLY RIGHTEOUS children that he has created IN the IMAGE of his FIRSTBORN Son.
Right after the 1000 years reign of Jesus or between age #4 and the beginning of age #5 there will be ONE FINAL war when Satan is loosed after being bound for a 1000 years, during the reign of his Son as the God of the whole earth. The second half of God’s wrath will come down from heaven as fire and devour all the wicked. The second and final resurrection shall then take place.
Then the FINAL judgment will take place and ALL those judged to be wicked, including Satan and the fallen angels, will be cast alive in the lake of fire to be destroyed, never to rise again. And those found righteous in the second and final resurrection, that will take place after the literal 1000 year reign of Jesus, will be given eternal life, the same as we who have been found faithful in this PRESENT world.
Basically, the first chosen of God will be the last to receive eternal life and the last to be chosen of God will be the first to receive eternal life. God first chose father Abraham, who was the first Hebrew, as in the first Hebrew to become chosen of God. Abraham was given the promise that God himself would make him the father of many nations. But Abraham got ahead of God and has a son, by way of a bondwoman, who’s name was Ishmael. Later. God opened Sarah’s womb and gave her the promised son through whom God would make Abraham the father of many nations. And his name was Isaac, who then bore Jacob, which became the twelve tribes of Israel. And out of the twelve tribes, God chose the tribe of Judah to bring forth His Messiah to save his people from their sins.
Also, in the fifth age, or more precisely between age four and age five, Yahweh will have CLEARED his name of being falsely accused of creating Lucifer with pride and rebellion before all his faithful angels and thus Yahweh will be found right and just to go ahead and destroy Lucifer or Satan and all the angels that joined Lucifer’s rebellion to make war with God, to try and take over God’s throne. Again, for all the verses in the Bible on this topic, please read the study “UNDERSTANDING WHY?” These verses will teach that God is at WAR, even as we speak.
Now, all we know for sure about age five is that Jesus will be UNDER and SUBJECT to his God and Father, Yahweh the Highest God, in the ages to come, for all eternity future. The only verse that we really have, that I myself have found, is 1 Corinthians 15:25-28.
1 Corinthians 15:25-28.
“For he must reign, till (Or Jesus must reign UNTIL) he (Yahweh the Father) has put all enemies under his feet.
26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. (Satan is the author of death who will be cast into the lake of fire showing that there will be no more death and no more sin or wickedness after that point in time. And that time of which I am speaking of is the final Day of Judgment. There are two judgments. One judgment before the 1000 years and the FINAL Judgment will be after the literal 1000 year reign of Jesus. The final judgment will be after the final DECEPTION to rebel and make war which is when the REST of the dead will be raised and judged from ANOTHER book of life.)
27. For he (Yahweh) has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under him, it is manifest (Or it is CLEARLY made KNOWN to us in SIMPLICITY) that he (Yahweh) is excepted, which did put all things under him. (In other words, Yahweh will always be over his Son, Jesus, even during the 1000 years when Yahweh commits or ENTRUSTS his kingdom into the hands of his dear Son. This means that Yahweh will be WITH his Son as the power and authority standing behind his Son.)
28. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.”
Now that you have been given a little more detail to who Jesus was or is during each of these five different ages of Jesus, I will now start giving you the scriptures to support what I have said about each age of Jesus.
SECTION THREE
AGE#1---ETERNITY PAST.
Again, in the first age, Yahweh existed ALONE and was by himself, with no one with him at his side. We all know and agree that one of the purposes of Jesus was to SHOW us the FATHER. Jesus did not speak of HIMSELF but rather spoke his God and FATHER’S words that Yahweh himself put in the mouth of the anointed Son of man, Jesus. Here is a passage of Scripture that proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that there was only ONE divine eternal being who has always possessed immortality in himself.
Let us read 1 Timothy 6:13-16, which clearly teaches us that ONLY ALMIGHTY God has always had IMMORTALITY and that Almighty God is INVISIBLE and cannot ever be seen by mortal men.
1 Timothy 6:13-16.
“I give you charge in the sight of God,(Speaking of the Father, the eternal invisible or unseen Eternal Spirit, for God is Spirit and there is but ONE Eternal Spirit whose name is Yahweh) who quickens (Or who makes ALIVE, or who is the giver of all life or who CREATED) ALL things, and (Or and also I have given you charge) before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; (So here in verse 13 we see TWO separate distinctly different persons who are being contrasted to each other. Timothy clearly teaches us in simplicity that the Father is the one who created ALL things. And Timothy is giving us CHARGE in the sight of BOTH the Father and the Son)
14. THAT you keep this commandment (Or that we KEEP this one single PRECEPT or this one single teaching) without spot, unrebukeable (Or keeping this one teaching pure without spot and unable to be shown to be false teaching), until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15. Which in his times (Speaking of the first coming of Jesus and his second coming) he (Jesus) shall show, WHO is the blessed and ONLY Potentate (Or who is the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God. Remember that Jesus did not come to SHOW us HIMSELF. He came to SHOW us the FATHER to be), the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16. Who ONLY has immortality, (Or who ONLY has always possessed immortality in himself as the SOURCE of all life) dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man has SEEN, nor CAN see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen."
The word of God makes it quite clear that the disciples of Jesus were given the charge to KEEP this COMMANDMENT or teaching without spot until the appearing of Jesus. Please notice that the writer starts off by clearly showing a DIFFERENCE between God, who CREATES ALL THINGS and NOT being the same person as his Son Jesus. Also, notice that the charge is given to us to believe and teach that Jesus came into existence to SHOW us the FATHER. And also to show us who ONLY is the ALMIGHTY God, the ONLY POTENTATE, who is Spirit and who is INVISIBLE. Remember that Jesus is the IMAGE OF the INVISIBLE God. The one true God is INVISIBLE, whom no man has seen nor can see in the fulness of his glory and live. In other words, no MORTAL man can see the full glory of Almighty God, Yahweh, and live.
Now I want you to pay close attention to the DESCRIPTION of the ONLY ALMIGHTY God or the ONLY Potentate. The word “Potentate” means the ONLY Sovereign God who is OVER and ABOVE ALL. And the only ALMIGHTY God is also being described as who ONLY has always had IMMORTALITY. But even more than that, Yahweh is also being described as being INVISIBLE and who cannot be SEEN by human eyes. So again, the invisible ONLY TRUE God who is the ONLY ALMIGHTY God is being described as the ONLY one who has always been IMMORTAL or ETERNAL. Now to ME, this one passage of Scripture alone refutes, reproves, and corrects any and all other false teachings. I am speaking of the teachings that INTERPRET the Greek word “LOGOS” as being a SEPARATE divine ETERNAL Spirit being that was WITH God at his side in all eternity past without ever having a beginning.
In other words, it is NOT SOUND Biblical teaching to dogmatically demand that Jesus has always preexisted WITH God, at his side, and that God the Son, the second person of the Godhead Trinity, created all things when the Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us that ONLY the one true INVISIBLE Almighty God the Father ALONE has always had IMMORTALITY in himself.
You see dear children of God, human eyes have certainly SEEN Jesus and lived. And the word of truth, the Holy Bible, clearly teaches us that Jesus was GIVEN immortality or eternal life BY HIS God and Father, the ALMIGHTY, the INVISIBLE God and creator of all things.
Now, most Christians agree that the Old Testament clearly teaches us that there is but ONE God. But Trinitarian Christians dogmatically demand that the ONLY WAY to explain how Jesus is called God and that there is but ONE TRUE God is that the ONE TRUE God must be a Trinity God. They argue that since the Old Testament clearly teaches us that there is but ONE God then that must mean that there can NOT be TWO separate Gods. And, therefore, they have concluded that Jesus MUST be the second “person” of a Trinity Godhead called God the Son. And in order for Jesus to be the one true God then God the Son MUST have always existed WITH God the Father, at his side, from all eternity past, where neither the Father nor his Son had a beginning.
Please read Galatians 3:20.
“Now a mediator is NOT a mediator of ONE, but God IS ONE."
In other words, the ONE God who is ONE SINGLE person of being cannot be a MEDIATOR because a mediator mediates BETWEEN two parties and God IS ONE.
Then we read who this mediator is that stands BETWEEN God and man in 1 Timothy 2:5.
1 Timothy 2:5.
“For there is ONE God (Which we just read in Galatians 3:20 that God IS ONE), and one mediator BETWEEN God (Who IS ONE person or one being in one single person) and men, the MAN Christ Jesus;”
So ask yourself the question, “How many persons are there in the ONE MEDIATOR, the MAN Jesus, the anointed?” It is the SAME Greek word translated as ONE God that is also translated as ONE mediator. Jesus is just ONE single being in ONE person as the ONE mediator just the SAME as God is ONE single being in ONE person as the ONE God. Even Jesus himself says that his heavenly Father is HIS God who is ONE in Mark 12:27-29.
Mark 12:27-29.
“HE (Jesus is speaking of HIS God and Father using the SINGULAR pronoun HE as referring to Yahweh the Father, saying that HE) is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: you, therefore, do greatly err.
28. And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29. And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord OUR God is ONE Lord:”
Jesus is quoting Deuteronomy 6:4 which was written in Hebrew and literally reads as follows.
“Hear, O Israel: YHWH (Or Yahweh) our God is ONE YHWH (Or ONE Yahweh):”
Again, all Christians agree that the Old Testament clearly teaches us that there is but ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God. Now as you continue this study in God’s word it will become CRYSTAL clear to you that the New Testament teaches us in SIMPLICITY that to us, as Christians, there is but ONE God who is always clearly identified as being the Father and we all know and agree that Jesus is NOT the Father. That is to say, except for a few Christians, called the Oneness believers that are beginning to come out of their oneness belief. In other words, many Oneness believers are becoming Biblical Unitarians, praise God. Please see the video “I WAS WRONG!” but for now, let us take a close look at the verses that teach us WHO is the CREATOR.
Now all the verses in the Old Testament as well as many in the New Testament clearly and plainly show us that Yahweh alone, by himself, created all things and is the source of all things.
Please read Isaiah 44:24 which teaches us in SIMPLICITY, with NO interpretation needed to understand what is plainly stated as a FACT, that all creation began with Yahweh who ALONE and BY HIMSELF created all things.
Isaiah 44:24.
“Thus says the LORD (Yahweh), your redeemer, and HE that FORMED YOU from the womb, I am the LORD (Yahweh) that MAKES ALL THINGS; that stretches forth the heavens ALONE; that spreads abroad the earth BY MYSELF;”
In the New Testament, we learn that the ONE TRUE God is ALWAYS clearly identified as being the FATHER. Jesus himself teaches us that the ONE TRUE God is the Father. Please read John 17:3, where the Son of man, Jesus, is praying to his God and Father.
John 17:3.
“And this is life eternal, that they might know YOU the ONLY TRUE God, AND Jesus Christ, whom YOU have sent (Or who YOU Father have COMMISSIONED with power and authority and have sent out into the world to accomplish your will).”
Now let us read 1 Corinthians 8:3-6.
“But if any man loves God, the same is known of him. (The subject of this passage of Scripture is concerning WHOSOEVER, of ANY man, who LOVES God, the same is KNOWN OF God. And the ONLY WAY we can truly LOVE God in Spirit and in TRUTH is to LOVE God’s SON. In other words, if you are not IN Jesus Christ, you are NOT KNOWN of God as his child.)
4. As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world and that there is none other God but ONE.
5. For though there be that are CALLED gods, whether IN HEAVEN or in the earth, (As there BE gods many, and lords many,)
6. But to us (True born-again Christians created IN Jesus Christ) there is but ONE God, the FATHER, of whom are all things (The English word “things” is NOT in the original text and in this case by adding the word things it hides the true meaning of the passage of Scripture. This verse LITERALLY reads, “there is but ONE God, the FATHER out of whom are the ALL” speaking of the ALL of whosoever are CREATED IN God’s Son Jesus Christ), and we in him ( Or and WE INTO him the ONE TRUE God and ONLY Almighty God who ALONE is the Father); AND (Or AND ALSO to us there is) one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom (or THROUGH WHOM, or BECAUSE OF WHOM) are all things (Or THROUGH and because of Jesus the ALL are created IN Jesus Christ from above by Yahweh. We as God’s NEW creatures are born OF God by our FAITH in Yahweh’s word which we heard and believe), and we (Speaking of the ALL created IN Jesus Christ was all made possible) by him.”
So then, by or THROUGH or because of the shed blood of Jesus on the cross, the anointed Son of man, Jesus, made it possible for whosoever who believes that Jesus is God’s SON to be saved. The Son of MAN, Jesus, suffered and died for our sins so that we could be born of God from above to be created as a NEW creature. We are created IN or into his SON Jesus Christ by our FAITH in the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
Now, I do not know about you but I would say that there are NO false idol gods up in heaven. So to ME, Paul is saying that there are many who are CALLED Gods or gods IN the HEAVENS. We know that Almighty God, the Father, is IN HEAVEN. We know that Jesus the Son OF God is IN HEAVEN who is CALLED God by his God and Father in Hebrews 1:8,9. The writer of the book of Hebrew is quoting a PROPHECY in Psalm 45:6,7 of the coming Messiah in order to identify that the Son of man, Jesus, has fulfilled that prophecy. And we know that Satan is CALLED the god of the present world is also IN HEAVEN, as in, the first heaven. And some of the Elohim or the angels are set in authority by Yahweh, the God of Gods.
So then, the word “God” is a TITLE for a mighty one when referring to a God whom Yahweh has set up and given power and authority to RULE for Yahweh in some measure or degree of capacity. That is why Yahweh the ONE TRUE God is called the God OF Gods, the HIGHEST, the MOST-HIGH, the ALMIGHTY God, the LORD God, the ONLY WISE God, and THE God to distinguish the ONE TRUE God from all the other Gods who are CALLED Gods. Yahweh, the Highest God, who is the SOURCE of ALL life, is called THE God OF Gods.
Please read Deuteronomy 10:17.
“For the LORD (Or for Yahweh) your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regards not persons, nor takes reward:”
So then, Yahweh our GREAT God is the God OF and over ALL other God’s. And we KNOW from the New Testament that Jesus is CALLED God. Jesus was given the TITLE of God along with all the power and authority to RULE as God over the whole earth FOR Yahweh in the world to come. So, to ME, Jesus is NOT one and the self-same being as the ONE TRUE God whom Yahweh used to create all things as some Christians wrongly teach.
As we have already seen by several verses that it was Yahweh ALONE and BY HIMSELF who created all things. So then, THE God in Genesis is the ONE singular God in ONE person that created the heavens and the earth as you will see from the following verses.
Now read Psalm 136:1-9.
“O give thanks unto the LORD (Yahweh); for HE (Yahweh the Father) is good (Remember Jesus said why do you call me good for ONLY the FATHER is good): for his mercy endures forever.
2. O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endures forever.
3. O give thanks to the Lord of lords: (Yahweh is the Lord over Jesus, his Lord, who is Lord over the lords of the earth) for his mercy endures forever.
4. To HIM (Yahweh the creator of all things and the source and giver of all life) who ALONE does great wonders: for his mercy endures forever.
5. To HIM (Yahweh the Father) that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endures forever.
6. To HIM (Yahweh the Father who ALONE and BY HIMSELF according to Isaiah 44:24) that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endures forever.
7. To HIM (The SAME ONE TRUE and ONLY Almighty God, Yahweh the Father) that made great lights: for his mercy endures forever: (Yahweh alone and by himself)
8. The SUN to rule by day: for his mercy endures forever: (Yahweh the Elohim of the Elohim or The ONE TRUE God OF Gods created)
9. The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endures forever.”
Plain and simple there is only ONE TRUE God over all other Gods. There is only ONE God who is THE Almighty God. And there is only ONE who has always been immortal and who is the SOURCE of ALL life and breath to HIS CREATIONS.
Please read Psalm 42:5.
“Thus says God the LORD (Or thus says Yahweh THE God), HE that created the heavens, and stretched them out; HE that spread forth the earth, and that which comes out of it; HE that gives breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:”
Job 33:5.
“The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath (Or Spirit) of the Almighty has given me life.”
Here in Job we read and understand that the Eternal Holy Spirit IS the Almighty God for Jesus said that God is a Spirit. The INVISIBLE God who IS the Father has made me, speaking of Job and all of man. And we see that it is the Almighty who gives his breath or Spirit to man, to give life to his creation. In other words, the ONE TRUE and ONLY Almighty God is one and the self-same being, as in, being the ONE being of Eternal Spirit in ONE person who ALONE is the FATHER. Please see the study the “HOLY SPIRIT IS THE FATHER!”
But for now, let us read Psalm 33:6.
“BY the word of the LORD (Yahweh, the ONE eternal Spirit) were the heavens made; and all the host of them BY the breath (Or by the Spirit of the breath of life) of his MOUTH.”
Here in Psalm 33:6, we see that it is by Yahweh’s very own breath coming out of his very own MOUTH that GIVES LIFE to all living things. So then, according to Job 33:5, Yahweh is the Almighty which we already knew was God over all other Gods. We also see that it is by the word of Yahweh, of HOW Yahweh ALONE and BY HIMSELF, created the heavens and the earth and the entire host in them. We will take a closer look at the HOW Almighty God the Father, the eternal Holy Spirit called God or Elohim created all things. But first let us look at a few more verses in the Old Testament and then we will read the New Testament.
Please read Psalm 104:30,31.
“YOU (Speaking of Yahweh) send forth YOUR Spirit, they are created: and you renew the face of the earth.
31. The glory of the LORD (Yahweh, the eternal Spirit) shall endure forever: the LORD (Yahweh) shall rejoice in HIS works.”
Please notice the SINGULAR pronoun HIS speaking of Yahweh’s works of creation ALONE and BY HIMSELF.
Isaiah 40:28.
“Have you not known? Have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.”
Here we read that it is the everlasting or the eternal God, Yahweh, who is the creator. And if you remember, we have already seen in 1 Timothy 6:13-16, that Jesus came to SHOW us the Father, who ONLY and has always possessed IMMORTALITY in himself. There are several more verse in the Old Testament that clearly teaches us that the ONE TRUE God, who is ONE person, who alone and by himself created all things. We will come back to Genesis 1:26 that is used to try and prove that the One true God is a Trinity God after we have taken a look at some verses in the New Testament.
Please read Acts 17:23-34.
“For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom, therefore, you ignorantly worship, HIM declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and ALL things therein, seeing that HE is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands;
25. Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing HE gives to ALL life, and breath, and all things;
26. And (HE) has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and (HE the God being declared to us, as in, the IDENTITY of who is THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God who created all things and everything that is made, was made BY HIM) has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27. That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28. For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, (Speaking of the God being declared and made known to us) we ought not to think that the Godhead (Please notice that the God whose IDENTITY is being declared to us is called the GODHEAD) is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
30. And the times of this ignorance God (The GODHEAD that is being declared to us as the IDENTITY of the ONE Godhead in ONE PERSON by the SINGULAR pronouns) winked at; but now (HE, the one true God in one person) commands all men everywhere to repent:
31. Because HE (The ONE GODHEAD whose identity is being declared to us and being ONE person by the singular pronouns) has appointed a day, in the which HE (The ONE TRUE and only Almighty God Yahweh, the Father, who is called the GODHEAD) will judge the world in righteousness BY that MAN whom HE has ordained; whereof HE has given assurance unto all men, in that HE has raised him (The Son of MAN Jesus) from the dead.
32. And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear you again of this matter. (I have heard so many Trinitarian Christians and Oneness Christians mock each other. And I have heard both also mock Biblical Unitarians and Christians like myself who believe in TWO Gods, the Father, and His Son. The Bible ITSELF clearly and plainly teaches us that we are to honor, praise, and worship BOTH the Father and his Son. For you see, believing in BOTH the Father AND his SON we have eternal life.)
33. So Paul departed from among them. (All we can do is depart from those who RESIST the truth. I cannot speak for others. But I myself refuse to be drawn into strife when my brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ laugh and mock what they do not understand much like these Pagans who did not know whom they worship.)
34. Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.”
And I thank God for all those who have BELIEVED the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God and have come out from the false doctrine of Oneness and the doctrine of the Trinity, and the doctrine of the deity of Jesus having TWO natures at the SAME time during the days of his FLESH, being fully God and fully human.
In Colossians 2:9 we can clearly see that the fulness of the GODHEAD DWELT IN the Son of man, Jesus. However, this verse is actually speaking of the GLORIFIED Son of ma, Jesus, AFTER the cross. That is when it pleased God to share the FULLNESS of His GLORY with His human Son Jesus. During the days of the FLESH of Jesus God ANOINTED him with the Holy Spirit and power. This is what the DOCTRINE of Christ means and whosoever DENIES that the ANOINTING came in the FLESH of the Son of man, Jesus, to be the MAN appointed by Almighty God. Then they are Anti-Christ. They are unknowingly teaching AGAINST the ANOINTING of the Son of MAN, Jesus. They are making the Son of MAN, Jesus, to be the fully Almighty God HIMSELF when the WHOLE counsel of God refutes this false teaching on every side.
Colossians 2:8,9.
“Beware lest any man spoils you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9. For IN HIM DWELLS all the fulness of the GODHEAD bodily.”
This means that God DWELT IN the Son of MAN Jesus as opposed to Jesus BEING the Almighty God. I might add that some Christians understand that the Father DWELT IN Jesus but they wrongly use this particular verse to try and prove that ONLY Jesus was given ALL of the divine eternal God to dwell in him. And we only have a tiny bit of God dwelling in us. And then they argue that this is why we cannot do the same works Jesus did. This is especially the case when it comes to living without sin. Even some Christians who know and understand that Jesus overcame sin THROUGH the power of the Holy Spirit they lack the FAITH that the SAME Spirit dwells in them to empower them to live without sin. You see when Paul wrote these words Jesus was ALREADY GLORIFIED and IN heaven. God had already given Jesus the same divine nature of immorality along WITH all power and authority to rule for Yahweh in the world to come AFTER the CROSS. It was AFTER the cross that Jesus became the FIRSTBORN of every creature to be made in the IMAGE OF the invisible God. Please read the study “WHAT DOES COLOSSIANS 1:15-17 TRULY MEAN?”
Anyway, my point right now is that the GODHEAD is ONE person, who is the Father that DWELT IN Jesus. And it was the Father that was the one who did the works that men saw Jesus doing.
Please read John 14:9-12.
“Jesus said unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say you then, Show us the Father? (Jesus was NOT saying that he is the Father but rather that the Son is the IMAGE OF his God and Father. And this means that the good WORKS that the Father did through Jesus by dwelling IN him was SHOWING them the Father. Jesus is teaching us that he was NOT the one who was healing people. Jesus is saying that the one DWELLING IN him is the Father.)
10. Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father IN me? (If you do NOT believe that the Father DWELT IN the Son of MAN, Jesus, then you are Anti-Christ. By teaching that Jesus himself is fully the Almighty God you are unknowing saying that you do not believe that God came IN the FLESH. You DENY that the fullness of the GODHEAD DWELT IN the Son of MAN Jesus. You DENY that Jesus was a MAN by your doctrine of the deity of Jesus DURING the DAYS of his FLESH. And by dogmatically demanding that Jesus was FULLY THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God and fully a human being at the same time, having TWO natures, one divine, and one human, you DENY the doctrine of Christ. There are NO Scriptures in the entire Bible that teaches this false doctrine of Jesus having two natures at the same time.) the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that DWELLS IN me, he does the works.
11. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father IN me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. (In other words, turn away from the false doctrines of the Trinity, Oneness, and the deity TWO natures at the same time doctrine. Jesus the Son of MAN only became the DIVINE ETERNAL SON of God AFTER the CROSS. So, yes, Jesus is Deity NOW after the cross. And Yes, Jesus CAME OUT FROM the ONE TRUE and only living God. But the Father alone is the ONLY being that has always had IMMORTALITY IN HIMSELF. Yahweh GAVE to the Son of MAN immortality after the CROSS. That is when the Son of man was GLORIFIED to be a God. Yahweh entrusted or committed his now eternal Son to rule FOR him in the world to come)
12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; BECAUSE I go unto my Father.”
The reason why we can do the SAME works Jesus did, INCLUDING living our lives free from sin, is BECAUSE the Son of man ascended to his God and Father to receive all the GLORY that was promised to him. You see, there was a JOY set before him to endure the cross. Jesus became our high priest that day God raised him from the dead. He shed his blood to CLEANSE our temple in order that the Holy Spirit can DWELL IN us. And the reason that the Holy Spirit dwells in us is to endue us with power from on high. And the reason God endues us with HIS power is so that we can do the SAME works Jesus did THROUGH the power of the SAME eternal who dwelt in him.
I myself personally believe that Satan has robbed the church of her power and authority by BLINDING the eyes of Christians with the false doctrine of Oneness, the false doctrine of the Trinity, and the false doctrine of the deity of Jesus DURING the days of his flesh supposedly having two natures at the same time. It blesses me to see that Christian’s eyes are being opened all over the world to see that they have been deceived by these false doctrines. And it blesses me more to see Christians coming to the knowledge of the truth that they can ALSO do the SAME works of Jesus.
Before we move on to age #2, The days of the flesh of Jesus, I want to point out a PROPHECY God showed me in Genesis 1:26,27.
Genesis 1:26,27.
“ And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness (Those who believe and teach the doctrine of the Trinity have used this verse to try and prove the doctrine of the Trinity but some Trinitarian Bible scholars openly admit that the plural word Elohim does not demand more than one person in the one God and that the let us could very well be speaking of the angels who were watching God do the creating): and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over, all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. (The word “make” means to form, conform, and squeeze man into the image of God. In other words, God is the potter and we who BELIEVE are the clay. It is ONLY those who are WILLING to be conformed into the image of God's dear Son who will be made a partaker of the divine nature of immortality in the world to come. And the plural pronoun “us” is speaking of the angels along with the one God in one person. But verse 26 is also a PROPHECY in the future where whosoever BELIEVES on the Son of MAN, Jesus, as their atonement for sin, will be CREATED IN Jesus Christ. And then God would continue to conform us into the IMAGE of his dear Son by our being GLORIFIED at his coming in order to BECOME LIKE Jesus. In other words, by being our being granted the right to partake of the DIVINE NATURE of IMMORTALITY at his coming to become LIKE Jesus who was the FIRST human to become LIKE God, is what God intended His words in Genesis 1:26,27 to mean. Verse 26 is a PROPHECY speaking TO the Son of MAN to endure the cross saying to him, Let us make man in our image and after our likeness. FIRST, the human Son of MAN, Jesus, was made into the IMAGE of the invisible God AFTER the CROSS to become the FIRSTBORN of every creature to be eternally begotten from the dead. And we shall be made in the perfect IMAGE of Jesus AT his second coming. Now in the next verse please notice the SINGLE pronoun use)
27. So God (The ONE TRUE God in ONE person who ALONE and BY HIMSELF created ALL things) created man in HIS own image, in the image of God created HE him; male and female created HE them.”
The only reason I say that the plural pronoun “us” also refers to the angels is because God was clearing his name from being defamed. God was resolving the problem of being falsely accused of creating Lucifer with a sinful nature. So God was speaking to his angels saying, Well, then, let us make man in our image. But let us, God, speaking TO the ANGELS, make mankind a little lower and INFERIOR to you angels. And then we will see if what I create is flawed or not. However, when God was speaking TO His yet future Messiah God was saying something quite DIFFERENT. When God said let us, speaking to His future Messiah, God is saying let us make the fallen humans who believe in our image ABOVE the angels. Again, please read the study “UNDERSTANDING WHY?” I cover all the verses that support what I just said about the angels being a part of the plural pronoun “us” in Genesis 1:26. NOT that the angels helped in any way with CREATING anything.
Now if you doubt this interpretation and DENY all the SOUND Biblical evidence you have been given to hold on to the false teaching that Jesus created ALL things, then please read the words of Jesus HIMSELF who clearly identifies the creator and being God.
Please read Mark 3:19.
“For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the CREATION which God CREATED unto this time, neither shall be.”
There is no ONE verse where Jesus calls himself God or God the Son. Jesus speaks of the Father as HIS GOD and here we see that Jesus HIMSELF clearly identifies Almighty God, the father, as being the CREATOR of ALL CREATION.
If you still believe that Jesus was WITH the Father at his side and that it was God the Son who created all things based ONLY upon three verses, John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:16,17, and Ephesians 3:9 please understand that these three passages of Scripture have another very logical interpretation when they are left in their CONTEXT. And when we compare this OTHER interpretation in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of God as being God’s NEW CREATION, then we can clearly see that is the TRUE meaning of Genesis 1:26. Almighty God Yahweh the Father created His NEW CREATION IN Jesus Christ. And without the help of the Son of MAN, Jesus, becoming OBEDIENT to die on the cross, not yet one new creature was created. We will go over those three verses shortly.
But first, I want those who dogmatically demand the Jesus was the creator of all things to read Proverbs 8:22-31 which is a PROPHECY of Jesus. And as you read Proverbs 8:22-31 you will notice that the Father did ALL the creating with his yet unborn son, in his mind. You will see God's yet future Son rejoice in the habitable part of the earth BEFORE Yahweh even created the earth. As you read, please notice that Jesus did not lift even a finger to help God re-create the earth.
First of all, God's Son was not LITERALLY THERE, but rather, the Son of God was AS ONE being brought up with God. But IF SO BE that the Son of God was literally there at God's side in eternity past, the Son did not create anything. So HOW can John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:16,17, and Ephesians 3:9, be INTENDED by the Holy Spirit to mean that Jesus created ALL things? In other words, seeing that Proverbs 8 has Jesus watching his God and Father create all things then how can anyone dogmatically demand that Jesus himself created all things? All Scripture must AGREE.
Jesus understood of the glory that the SON OF God would be glorified with, by the Father, which was prophesied from the BEGINNING. Jesus understood that the scriptures spoke of HIM. So, when he read Proverbs 8, Jesus saw the THOUGHTS and PLANS of Almighty God and how his SON Jesus rejoiced, before him in the habitable part of the earth, BEFORE the earth was ever recreated or restored to be habitable once again for mankind who God would make LOWER than the angels.
Please take a close look at Proverbs 8:22-31
“The LORD (referring to YAHWEH the Lord God Almighty who is the FATHER alone) possessed (Which means acquired, bought, purchased redeemed, brought forth into existence, formed, or created, and OWNED) ME (Jesus, the SON OF God) in the beginning of his way, (All these meanings of Yahweh ACQUIRING his SON, forming his Son, begetting his Son, are teaching us that Jesus had a BEGINNING, And not ONLY die God’s Son have a beginning but also this passage of scripture is PROPHECY of yet a future fulfillment concerning Jesus. In other words, this passage of scripture is NOT teaching us of a literal PREEXISTING Jesus) before HIS WORKS of old. (The meaning of the phrase “BEFORE HIS WORKS” here LITERALLY means PRECEDING his CONTRIVANCES of old. And this word contrivance means that God had his Son in his MIND preceding his CLEVERLY DEVISED ingenious PLAN. You see, God’s PLAN was to have an INNOCENT RIGHTEOUS MAN be SLAIN without cause so he could redeem or buy back his NEW creation called the HUMANS that he has not yet created PRECEDING the foundation of the world. You see dear children of God, by God saying to the Elohim or to the angels; let US create a NEW species of being called the humans, God was also speaking to his yet future Son of man, Jesus. You see, Jesus was made a little lower or inferior to Yahweh’s previous creation of the ANGELS. Please understand that 1/3 of the angels rebelled against God under the leadership of Lucifer that is now known as Satan or the Devil. This HIDDEN prophecy of the “us” speaking to God’s yet future Messiah is PART of God's ingenious plan to prove that he created Lucifer perfect in all his ways. And thus, God will clear his own name for his own sake. Again, God’s name was being defamed by the false accusation from Lucifer BLAMING God for his own prideful sin. God created all things perfect but Lucifer falsely accused God of creating him evil. And therefore it was not his fault that he rebelled against God. And thus God has no right to judge him guilty to be destroyed. For all the verses in the Bible on this topic, please read the study “UNDERSTANDING WHY?”, In that study, I show the BIG picture of God’s plan of salvation and all the verses that answer many, many questions Christian have such as WHY does God allow evil in the world? Please understand that these verses, like all verses, must be interpreted in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of God. And then that interpretation must AGREE with the rest of God's word. If one interprets these verses alone and apart from the rest of God's word, then it may SEEM that Jesus was brought forth BEFORE the foundation of the world. It may seem that Jesus was LITERALLY by the side of God as a SECOND person as God's Son. However, in the light of the WHOLE word of God, you will see that the correct meaning of this verse is that Jesus is God’s DESIRE WITHIN himself. You will see that God desires to have a RIGHTEOUS SON BEFORE God alone and by himself began creating or preparing a PLACE FOR his Son. You see my dear brothers and sisters in the Lord, God is like a proud EXPECTING parent, awaiting their unborn child, who is PREPARING a room for their YET COMING child. And that room is the earth. Let us continue.)
23. I was set up (This word has several meanings. One of those meanings is that God INAUGURATED his Son or APPOINTED his Son to be a King of kings) from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. (Also, this word translated as set up in the King James Version carries the meaning of being POURED OUT as a drink offering is poured out. So then, when we take this meaning and compare it to the scripture that teaches us that Jesus is the LAMB that was SLAIN from BEFORE the foundation of the world then we can see that Proverbs 8:22-31 is a PROPHECY about a YET FUTURE fulfillment from the time it was SPOKEN by God and then written down by men of old. We all KNOW that Jesus was NOT LITERALLY SLAIN BEFORE the foundation of the world, and in the same way, Jesus did NOT LITERALLY PREEXIST by the side of God BEFORE the foundation of the world. But rather the SON OF God dwelt in God's MIND or WITHIN God’s THOUGHT, having the IMAGE of what he desired his Son to be, before the foundation of the world. And it was AS IF his Son was BY his side, where God had WITHIN him an IMAGE of his yet FUTURE Son, who would be his Messiah to clear his name of being blamed for creating Lucifer with a sin nature before the foundation of the world. So please humor me and read these verses seeing God as a proud parent, EXPECTING his yet UNBORN child and God is preparing a place, the world, FOR or FOR the SAKE OF his yet future unborn SON who is yet to be brought into existence)
24. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; (The LITERAL meaning of this word “brought forth” means TRAVAILED as a woman in labor pains about to BIRTH a yet unborn child. This word also means to WAIT PATIENTLY or to look for, look forward to something. And these meanings teach us that God’s Son was still yet WITHIN the God who was anxiously AWAITING his Son to be brought forth or born of the Virgin Mary. And then God was anxiously awaiting his human Son to be the FIRSTBORN from the dead to forever become God's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Son by his side LITERALLY. So then, all these words teach us that Jesus was BEING brought forth in the MIND of God as part of God's CONTRIVANCE or secret plan of salvation to prove to Lucifer, the fallen angels and to the good angels that ALL that God creates is PERFECT and he has every right to judge Lucifer and the fallen angels. And all this is taking place in God's MIND, BEFORE the re-creation of the earth that was destroyed or made waste in the WAR between God and the fallen angels who were trying to take over God's throne. Again, please read the study “UNDERSTANDING WHY?”, for all the verses that show what I am saying about this war or rebellion of Lucifer and the fallen angels. But for now please understand that God was TRAVAILING or if you will, PREGNANT with his yet unborn SON in his THOUGHTS within himself) when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: (Same as above. Again, this means that Jesus was yet in the womb of God's MIND a deep DESIRE WITHIN himself, BEING brought forth into existence. Remember Exodus 3:14 where God says “I AM THAT I AM”, which LITERALLY means “I SHALL BECOME WHO or WHAT I AM BECOMING” Now as you read the rest of this passage of scripture watch WHO is doing ALL the CREATING. It is NOT the Son as some dogmatically demand that John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:16,17 and Ephesians 3:9 must mean. No, those verses are speaking of God’s NEW CREATION of being created IN Jesus Christ where Jesus is the co-creator. Please read the study “WHAT DOES the FIRSTBORN of every CREATURE mean?”)
26. While as yet HE (Almighty God) had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. (Now those who teach the PREEXISTENCE of Jesus also teach that Jesus HIMSELF created ALL things, but ALL the verses in the OLD Testament CLEARLY and PLAINLY in SIMPLICITY teach us that Almighty God himself ALONE and by HIMSELF created ALL things. Please read the study “EPHESIANS 3:9-11---DID JESUS CREATE ALL THINGS?”, for a sound Biblical teaching letting the Bible speak for ITSELF, clearly showing that Almighty God HIMSELF created ALL things FOR or FOR the SAKE of his SON Jesus, just like Proverbs 8:22-31 is teaching us.)
27. When HE (Almighty God alone and by himself) prepared the heavens, I was there (Meaning the Jesus was there in his THOUGHTS and DESIRES WITHIN himself as if I was literally by his side while HE was PREPARING a place for ME): when HE set a compass upon the face of the depth: (The LITERAL meaning of God setting a COMPASS upon the face of the deep is INTO DELINEATE OF HIM. And this means that God is drawing out, sketching out, making a blueprint, designing WITHIN himself in his THOUGHTS, and IMAGINING how he will prepare this place for his yet unborn SON. This word DELINEATE also means to PICTURE in WORDS or to PORTRAY in WORDS. In other words, God was PICTURING in his MIND, within himself, FORMING words WITHIN himself, to portray the IMAGE that was WITHIN himself to bring it forth into existence, And that IMAGE was the Son of MAN, Jesus, being stripped of any divine nature. And this means that his Messiah would not have any advantage over any other ANOINTED human to live without sin. The plan of his yet unborn Son was the CENTER of this IMAGE that God had within himself. God was designing a PORTRAIT of the IMAGE within himself to CREATE and raise up in RIGHTEOUSNESS. God’s image was to have a perfect obedient HUMAN Son willing to do all his will. You see, God’s PLAN is to have an INFERIOR species of beings that are a little lower than the angels to live without sin. Again, notice WHO is doing all the work of creating FOR the SAKE OF his yet future Son)
28: When HE established the clouds above: when HE strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29. When HE gave to the sea HIS decree, that the waters should not pass HIS commandment: when HE appointed (DESIGNED or delineate in himself) the foundations of the earth:
30. Then I was by him, AS ONE brought up WITH him: (Now, these last two verses clearly teach us that this passage of scripture is a PROPHECY of the future fulfillment of God's SON being brought forth into existence and that it was AS IF Jesus was by his side WHILE God was PREPARING the world FOR or FOR the SAKE OF his yet unborn Son. Please notice in the next verse that Jesus was REJOICING IN the habitable part of the EARTH that had NOT YET been created as yet, but was still yet in the MIND and PLAN of God WITHIN himself yet to be brought forth into existence) and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31. Rejoicing IN the HABITABLE part of his EARTH; and my delights were with the sons of men.”
Yahweh spoke what he desired to be in the future. And by the future, this means in the world to come at the second coming of Jesus. This is when his yet future Son will be rejoicing in the HABITABLE PART of the earth. You see, God SPOKE the future into being before the earth was re-created or restored some 6,000 years ago. And part of the earth will be destroyed again AT the return of Jesus. Jesus is returning to destroy them that are destroying the earth. And during his reign in the world to come the ruined places will be rebuilt. This is what is being prophesied in Proverbs 8: 30,31.
Let us take an even CLOSER look at the LITERAL meanings of some of these words in these last two verses. The LITERAL translation of Proverbs 8:30, 31 says:
“And I was beside him FOSTER CHILD and I was delectation day one GAMBOLING to faces of him all of the time.
31. One GAMBOLING inhabiting of the earth of him and delectation of me the sons of humans.”
So then, ALL OF THE TIME WHILE God alone and by himself was PREPARING the world for his yet unborn SON, Jesus, God was PORTRAYING or painting a portrait in his MIND PICTURING his yet future unborn SON GAMBOLING in the EARTH BEFORE the foundation of the world. You see, God is yet PREPARING FOR or FOR the SAKE OF his yet unborn FOSTER child the earth while DELIGHTING over his yet coming into being and yet unborn SON.
Let us consider the meanings of these words so we can see that PICTURE or portrait that God was painting in is MIND forming the IMAGE of what he DESIRED to BE brought into existence.
First of all, the word beside has another meaning other than being BY the side of God. When we consider the abundant GREAT JOY and delight that was WITHIN God picturing his Son, to BE, the word beside can take on the meaning of being beside oneself, which means out of one's MIND with EXCITEMENT or anticipation having extreme agitation. Now, this meaning agrees with verse 24 of Jesus being brought forth, as in, God was TRAVAILING or birthing his Son WITHIN himself. This word “travailing” also has the meaning of being extremely agitated with excitement, shaking, or vibrating with excitement.
Next, we then see Jesus being a FOSTER child. The word “FOSTER” means to raise up a child that is NOT OF your own blood and in this case, a child that is NOT of God’s OWN DIVINE NATURE during the days of the FLESH of the Son of man. You see dear children of God. when Almighty God Himself brought his Son into existence, God stripped the IMAGE that He was still yet FORMING in His mind and THOUGHTS on what His yet future Messiah would be like. And God concluded the form of His yet future Son to be fully HUMAN void of any divine nature during the days of his FLESH. Please read the study “WHAT DOES GOD INCARNATE MEAN?” for what the BIBLE ITSELF teaches and NOT what the mainstream churches teach. For now, know that SPOKEN word in God’s PLAN of salvation did not take on the divine nature of Almighty God, the Father, by becoming IMMORTAL, until AFTER the death and resurrection of the Son of MAN, when his God and Father GAVE the Son of MAN, Jesus, immortality or eternal life, the same LIFE that the Father has always possessed in Himself as his promised reward for enduring the cross to atone for the sins of mankind.
Now please read Isaiah 45:18-25. I will just quote verses 18 and 23.
Isaiah 45:18,23.
18. “For thus says the LORD (Yahweh, Almighty God, the Father) that created the heavens; GOD HIMSELF that formed the earth and made it; HE has established it, HE created it not in vain, HE formed it to be inhabited: I (Almighty God, the Father) am the LORD (or I am Yahweh); and there is none else.
Then in verse 23, we read.
23. I have sworn by MYSELF, the WORD (Speaking of Yahweh’s spoken thoughts in the form of my word) is gone OUT of my MOUTH in RIGHTEOUSNESS, and shall not return, That unto ME (All the glory belongs to Almighty God, the Father) every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear, Surely,"
Remember that when we honor Jesus we honor the Father at the same time. So, when Jesus comes again to rule and reign in his Father's kingdom FOR Yahweh, then every knee shall bow and worship Jesus TO the glory of the Father. And by worshiping God's SON we will be giving GLORY TO Almighty God the Father. Thus, when we as Christians worship Jesus now in this present world, we are also worshiping the Father by worshiping his SON, Jesus. We as Christians worship and praise Jesus now in this present world because this is God's will and desire for us, to honor his SON even as we honor the Father.
Now let us go to the New Testament and read the verses which are made very clear to us that it is Almighty God the Father who has created ALL things.
Please take a look at Revelation 4:10,11 which says,
“The four and twenty elders fall down before HIM (Almighty God, the Father) that sat on the throne,(This is a KEY phrase showing us that it is always Almighty God, the FATHER, who sits on the throne. Remember in chapter 5 that the Lamb comes over TO the one sitting on the throne) and worship HIM that lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for YOU (Speaking of Almighty God, the Father, who sits upon the throne and lives forever) HAVE CREATED ALL THINGS, and for YOUR PLEASURE they are and were created.”
It was God's PLEASURE to one day have a SON. The thing that I want to point out from this verse is that all things were created BY Almighty God for HIS PLEASURE. It PLEASED Almighty God, the Father, to create all things BY or THROUGH, his spoken word FOR the SAKE of his COMING SON that would, on a certain day in the future, be brought forth into existence and be BORN or BEGOTTEN as a HUMAN being FIRST. Then, as the Son of MAN, Almighty God, the ETERNAL SPIRIT, would come down from heaven and DWELL IN to empower his SON, still yet the Son of MAN, to OVERCOME the enemy in order to CLEAR the good NAME of Almighty God, who was being FALSELY ACCUSED of creating Lucifer to be a rebellious evil being. I will explain what I mean by what I just said as you continue to read this study and the related studies on this subject to learn "WHO IS JESUS?"
Now some have said that this passage of scripture here in Revelation 4:10,11 is talking about Jesus as being the one who sits upon the throne and that it is NOT Almighty God the Father. But if you continue reading the ENTIRE CONTEXT into the next chapter, you will see that the ONE, who sits on the throne, which again is a KEY phrase, is in FACT, Almighty God, the Father and NOT Jesus, the SON OF Almighty God the Father, who was chosen by the Father, to be the LAMB that was slain from the foundation of the world.
You see, some Christians such as Oneness believers FALSELY teach that the glorified Jesus IS THE ALMIGHTY God, who ALONE sits on the throne, but the TRUTH of the matter is that there are TWO in heaven who sit on the FATHER'S throne and they are THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God who ALONE is the FATHER, who GRANTED his SON, Jesus, to sit on HIS throne at his own right hand. And the reason that God granted the Son of man to sit on his throne is BECAUSE of his Son, as the Son of MAN whom God ANOINTED, OVERCAME the enemy of Almighty God in order to clear God's name. Please read the study “WHO IS LUCIFER? IS LUCIFER SATAN THE DEVIL?”, for a deeper understanding that Almighty God created Lucifer PERFECT in all his ways and then, Lucifer lifting up himself with PRIDE, decided on his own, to gather together an army to try and overthrow God's throne and take over the entire creation of Almighty God. When you understand that God is at WAR with an ENEMY, then many other things in God’s word will become clearer to you. Also please read the study “UNDERSTANDING WHY?”, which will answer a lot of questions many Christians have as well, giving you the BIG PICTURE of God's plan of salvation and WHY he needed to kept it SECRET from his enemy Satan. But for now, let us continue with the study at hand.
Throughout the Bible, Jesus is referred to as the LAMB of God and in Revelation chapter five and verse one we read about a book that is in the right hand of HIM referring to Almighty God, the Father, that sits on the throne, who is holding this book. Then in verses six and seven we read that the LAMB, who we all agree is referring to Jesus, came over to the ONE who is sitting on the throne and took the book OUT of the right hand of HIM, speaking of Almighty God, the Father that sat on the throne. So then, it is obvious that the one who sits on the throne is indeed speaking of Almighty God, the Father. And that HE is referring to Almighty God, the Father, that sits on the throne as being the one that created all things. And that the Father created all things for HIS PLEASURE. Notice that they are and were created. This is speaking of God’s NEW CREATION referring to THE ALL whosoever BELIEVES in Jesus to be created in Jesus Christ as a New RIGHTEOUS creature that God created because of his righteous human Son of man, Jesus. So then, these verses CLEARLY and without a doubt show us that Almighty God is the one who actually creates all things and that he created all things FOR the SAKE of his SON Jesus, who was not yet CREATED or brought into being as yet. UNTIL Almighty God spoke forth his THOUGHTS and PLAN to one day have a SON by his side and then PERFORMED His own word of PROPHECY to be fulfilled, Jesus did not yet literally exist.
It, the image of God's yet future Son, was in the FORM of His very own SPOKEN WORD, God would SPEAK forth his thoughts and plans within himself of what he desired to BE. And then Almighty God alone and by HIMSELF would bring into being the very IMAGE of his own desires that brought him PLEASURE. And this THOUGHT of one day having a SON gave Almighty God pleasure. So then, Almighty God created ALL things FOR the SAKE of his SON, which one day would be brought forth into being BY God's SPOKEN WORD. We will go over all of this again, but for now, I want you to see from God's word for yourself that the one sitting on the throne, who created all things, is indeed Almighty God, the Father, and NOT Jesus, the SON OF Almighty God, the Father.
Please read the CONTEXT of Revelation 4:10,11 which is Revelation 5:1-7 because the context clearly shows us TWO who are in heaven and NOT just one as the Oneness believers falsely teach.
Revelation 5:1-7.
“And I saw IN the right hand of HIM that sat on the throne a BOOK written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, WHO is worthy to open the book, and to loosen the seals thereof?
3. And no MAN in heaven, nor in the earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4. And I wept much because no MAN was found WORTHY to open and to read the BOOK, neither to look thereon.
5. And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, (Speaking of Jesus, the now highly exalted glorified Son of MAN) has prevailed (Or has OVERCOME the ENEMY, which gave the RIGHTEOUS Son of MAN, who lived a sinless life the RIGHT or the WORTHINESS) to open the BOOK and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, (Which all Christians agree is speaking of Jesus that was slain for our sins) having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7. And he (speaking of Jesus the LAMB that was SLAIN only in the MIND and PLAN of Almighty God from before the foundation of the world) CAME and took the book OUT of the right hand of HIM (Or Jesus being a SEPARATE person or being from the FATHER came from one spot in the midst of the throne over to another spot being at the very throne and took the book OUT of the hand of a SECOND SEPARATE person or being who is ALMIGHTY God the FATHER) that SAT upon the throne.”
Acts 4:24-31.
“And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice TO GOD with one accord, and said, Lord, YOU ARE God, which have made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: (Please notice that the very Apostles of Jesus did NOT lift up their voice to Jesus, the SON OF God, but rather they prayed to Almighty God the Father saying, Lord, YOU ARE God who created all things)
25. Who by the mouth of YOUR servant David (YOU Yahweh prophesied and) have said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
26. The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord (speaking of the heathen raging against Almighty God, the Father, the creator of all things), AND against HIS Christ. (Or AND they also gathered against the Almighty himself and also against Almighty God's anointed servant, his Christ, his Messiah, whom he prophesied would come.)
27. For of a truth against YOUR holy child Jesus, whom YOU have anointed (Or whom YOU have made to become both our Lord and Christ), both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
28. For to do whatsoever YOUR hand and YOUR counsel determined BEFORE to be done. (In other words, this was YOUR plan of salvation from before the foundation of the earth.)
29. And now, Lord, (And NOT Jesus, but rather the title of Lord speaking of the FATHER. The very disciples of Jesus were praying to the FATHER asking the Father) behold their threatenings: and grant unto your servants, that with all boldness they may speak your word,
30. By stretching forth YOUR hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the NAME of YOUR holy child Jesus. (Remember that Jesus said in John 5:19-30 that he could do NOTHING OF HIMSELF and that it was the FATHER DWELLING IN him that was doing the works of healing, casting out devils and raising the dead. And Jesus said that WE, who are Christians, shall do the SAME works in his NAME by the power of the same living God DWELLING IN us. So then, the disciples of Jesus never prayed TO Jesus but rather they COMMANDED in the NAME OF Jesus and Almighty God the Father, the eternal Spirit, confirmed his word with signs and wonders.)
31. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spoke the word OF God with boldness”.
Jesus said in John 7:16 and John 14:24 that the words he spoke were NOT his OWN words, but they were the words of the Father who commissioned him. So then, we can clearly see from the Bible ITSELF that the Apostles and disciples of Jesus did NOT believe and teach that Jesus is Yahweh, the FATHER, because if they did, then they would have prayed to Jesus. Now please understand what I am saying to all my Oneness brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus the Christ, some prophecies are HIDDEN a little deeper than other prophecies and like the Jews MISSED the first coming of Jesus, some Christians have missed some of these more hidden prophecies of Jesus.
Please read Psalm 8:3-9.
“When I (Jesus reading these words of Yahweh as if they were written specifically TO him is saying when I) consider YOUR heavens, the work of YOUR fingers, the moon, and the stars, which YOU have ordained; (Yahweh my God, then I the Son of MAN think to myself and say)
4. What is MAN that YOU (Yahweh) are mindful of him? and the son of MAN, that YOU visit HIM?
5. For YOU have made HIM (All of mankind including ME your anointed servant Jesus) a little lower than the angels, and have (YOU have also) crowned HIM (ME and all who believe on me as your anointed and as your Son) with glory and honor.
6. YOU made HIM (Jesus reading the Scriptures speaking of himself to be fulfilled in the future) to be having dominion over the works of YOUR hands; YOU have put all things under HIS feet:
7. All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8. The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas.
9. O LORD our Lord, (Which literally reads, “O Yahweh Lords of us” in the plural where TWO separate Lords are BOTH named Yahweh) how excellent is your NAME (Your Messiah who comes in your NAME during the days of his flesh and whom you have highly exalted and GIVEN him your very own NAME of Yahweh in the world to come. How excellent is the NAME of your first begotten Son and YOUR NAME) in all the earth!”
Now I want you to read Psalm 8:1 from the LITERAL word for word translation so you can see that this PROPHECY of the yet coming of the Messiah, who comes in the NAME of Yahweh, will be given the NAME above ALL other names, which is the very NAME Yahweh. Thus there will be the ONE LORD and his Lord, Jesus, having the SAME NAME. This does NOT mean that Jesus is one and the self-same person any more than John Doe Senior and John Doe Junior are one and the self-same being or person. NOR does it mean that there are TWO ALMIGHTY Gods. But rather it simply means that there has always been and will always be only ONE TRUE God, who ALONE is the ALMIGHTY and HIGHEST God, who has done a NEW THING and that NEW thing is to have a SON, whom he highly exalted to be a God or Lord to rule at his SIDE as HIS Lord, under and subject to his God and Father.
Psalm 8:1 from the LITERAL word for word translation.
“Psalm TO David (And not a Psalm OF David) for the ONE making permanent on the wine trough (or by the ONE who will tread wine press executing the wrath of God to make eternal), Yahweh Lords (Plural. Not two creators. And NOT two divine beings that have always had been two eternal Yahweh’s in eternity past. But rather, the FIRST Yahweh who is the SOURCE of ALL including the Son of MAN, Jesus, whom he highly exalted and gave a NAME that is HIGHER than all other names. And that name is Yahweh OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS) of us. What! Noble NAME of YOU in all the Earth WHO give YOU splendor of you (Or WHO gave this Noble name to you. And WHO gives YOU glory) on the heavens.”
Remember Jesus saying in John 17 that HE GLORIFIED the Father and then reminded the Father of the glory promised to him to be exalted to be beside the Father in the world to come? Jesus understood that the Scriptures spoke of him. Jesus understood the glory that was prophesied to be given to him by Yahweh the Father.
Psalm 21:1-7.
“To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in YOUR strength, O LORD; and in YOUR salvation how greatly shall HE rejoice!
2. YOU (Yahweh) have given HIM (the Son of MAN Jesus) HIS heart's desire, and (YOU Yahweh) have not withheld the request of HIS lips. Selah. (Selah means to pause and THINK about this? What request was not withheld? GLORIFY ME, Father, with the glory I have read about in your word concerning ME to be exalted to sit at your right hand in the world TO BE)
3. For you prevent him with the blessings of goodness (The word “prevent” means proceed, or before. So then, verse 3 along with verse 2 is saying that Yahweh did NOT withhold the request of the Son of MAN that he promised BEFORE in prophecy to bless him with goodness): YOU (Yahweh) set a crown of pure gold on HIS head.
4. He (The Son of MAN your anointed servant Jesus) ASKED (Or REQUESTED) LIFE of you, and YOU GAVE it to him (Or YOU Yahweh GAVE ETERNAL LIFE to your anointed servant), even length of days forever and ever.
5. His GLORY (YOU gave to him) is great IN your salvation: honor and majesty have YOU laid upon him.
6. For YOU (Yahweh) have made HIM most blessed forever: (Literally reads, “you are setting him blessings for future you are exhilarating him in rejoicing to faces of you”. In other words, the JOY that you have set before him has made him so excited to know that you will raise him from the dead give him your own divine immortality and exalt him to sit beside you having all authority and power in your NAME to be called God of the whole Earth) YOU have made HIM exceeding glad with YOUR countenance.
7. For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most-High he shall not be moved.”
None of these PROPHECIES of Jesus speak of Jesus RETURNING to a FORMER glory he had in eternity past. Yahweh has highly exalted the Son of MAN to become Yahweh's King of kings. And Jesus WILL AGAIN TRUST IN his God and Father to stand behind him with the armies of heaven when he comes again to bind Satan and his army of angels for 1000 years.
Psalm 89:3-27.
“I have made a covenant with MY CHOSEN, (Speaking of Yahweh’s Messiah, Jesus) I have sworn unto David my servant, (A hidden prophecy of Jesus)
4. YOUR seed (Speaking of THE ALL of whosoever BELIEVES unto the end on Jesus as their Lord and savior. This means to believe AND to obey his words unto death if so be they are called to lay down their life for the sake of Jesus and his gospel) will I (Yahweh) establish forever, AND build up your throne to all generations. Selah. (Pause and THINK about this. To all my Jewish readers, I want you to really ponder these prophecies of our Messiah because ONLY those who are IN Jesus Christ will be given eternal life at his coming. AND the REMNANT of JEWS, who are left alive after the WRATH of God is poured out upon the DISOBEDIENT to the GOSPEL of Jesus, will be saved alive in their MORTAL bodies to be taught concerning their Lord Messiah. You do NOT want to be one of the REMNANT Jews. Rather you want to become a BELIEVER in your Messiah, Jesus, NOW in this present world.)
5. And the heavens shall praise your wonders, O LORD: your faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
6. For WHO in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD (Yahweh)? WHO among the sons of the mighty (The angels) can be likened unto the LORD (Yahweh)? (No one in heaven was as righteous as Yahweh their creator, but God was looking at the RIGHTEOUS Son of MAN, Jesus while PROPHESYING these questions)
7. God is to be greatly feared in the assembly of the saints and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
8. O LORD God of hosts, WHO is a strong LORD (Yahweh) like unto YOU (Yahweh)? or to your faithfulness round about you?
9. YOU (Yahweh) rule the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, YOU still them.
10. YOU have broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; YOU have scattered your enemies WITH YOUR strong ARM. (Remember that it will be the ARM of Yahweh who will rule FOR Yahweh in the world to come)
11. The heavens are YOURS, the earth also is YOURS: ( There is the INVISIBLE creator of all things, Yahweh in the heavens. And there will be in the world to come another who was GIVEN the SURNAME of Yahweh our righteousness. Jesus will be CALLED the God of the whole earth, the strong ARM of Yahweh, ruling FOR his God and Father Yahweh in the seventh 1000 year long day of Yahweh’s REST) as for the world and the fulness thereof, YOU (Yahweh) have founded them.
12. The north and the south YOU (Yahweh) have created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in your NAME (your Messiah who comes in your NAME. What is YOUR name and what is the NAME of your SON. Yahweh the Father GIVES the highly exalted Son of MAN, Jesus the HIGHEST name above every other name BUT it is excepted and made clearly known that Yahweh the Father is always above all his creation including his Son Jesus, who was given the new name Yahweh of RIGHTEOUSNESS after the cross).
13. YOU (Yahweh) have a mighty ARM: strong is YOUR hand, and HIGH is your RIGHT HAND. (This is a prophecy of our Messiah, the highly exalted servant of Yahweh who is now crowned with the Father’s glory to BECOME the only begotten eternal Son of Yahweh among the humans)
14. Justice and judgment (This is the BIG PICTURE. Justice and judgment are the end GOAL. It is the judgment and justice of destroying His enemy, Satan, and the fallen angels, in the lake of fire. But the first goal was to clear Yahweh’s name. That was the reason for Yahweh creating mankind lower and inferior to the angels. In the fullness of time, God CALLED his Messiah that he foreordained to walk in righteousness. But God wanted more than just one Son. So by the foolishness of preaching God is reconciling to Himself the ALL of whosever BELIEVES. Then as our reward for suffering for righteousness God has granted all his saints the honor of executing Judgment along with Jesus. And only the justified in Jesus Christ during this present world will rule and reign with Jesus having justice and judgment which) are the habitations of your throne: mercy and truth shall go before your face.
15. Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of your countenance.
16. IN your NAME shall they rejoice all the day: AND in your RIGHTEOUSNESS shall they be exalted. (Speaking of us as Christians being exalted because of the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Jesus to cleanse us of all our sins)
17. For you are the glory of their strength: and in your favor, our horn shall be exalted.
18. For the LORD (Yahweh) is our defense; AND the Holy One of Israel (Jesus our Messiah) is our king.
19. Then YOU (Yahweh) spoke in a VISION to your holy one (speaking of Yahweh's anointed servant, the Son of MAN, Jesus), and said, I (Yahweh) have laid HELP upon one that is mighty; I (Yahweh) have EXALTED one chosen out of the people.
20. I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I ANOINTED HIM: (This is a PROPHECY of Jesus being given a VISION by Yahweh that he will HELP him or empower him to overcome the enemy and EXALT him for his obedience to do all the will of his God and Father)
21. With whom MY hand (Yahweh’s Holy Spirit) shall be established: mine ARM (Yahweh has two hands and two arms. The other hand and arm is the ANOINTING of God’s Holy Spirit) also shall strengthen him (The Son of MAN Jesus, the anointed of God with power from on high).
22. The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. (Speaking of the return of Jesus)
23. And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
24. But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. (Every knee shall bow AT the NAME of Jesus because of the NEW NAME that Yahweh has given him which is Yahweh our RIGHTEOUSNESS)
25. I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
26. He shall cry unto me, YOU are my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27. ALSO, I (Yahweh) will MAKE HIM my FIRSTBORN, HIGHER than the kings of the earth.”
In other words, Yahweh the Father has made the Son of MAN to become his FIRSTBORN of every NEW CREATURE to have PREEMINENCE over all the Earth. Yahweh has made his firstborn son from the dead to be the King of kings and the Lord of lords, the God of the whole Earth. The now highly exalted Son of man, Jesus, will rule and reign FOR Yahweh in the world to come. Yahweh’s now eternal Son is now seated at the right hand of his God and Father, the ONE TRUE God. Please read the study “WHAT DOES THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE MEAN?”
Let us move on to age number two which begins at the Virgin birth and ends right after the resurrection when Jesus tells Mary Magdalene to NOT TOUCH him BECAUSE he has NOT YET ASCENDED to his God and Father.
AGE #2---DURING THE DAYS OF HIS FLESH.
This second age of Jesus is when Jesus comes into existence for the first time except for existing in the THOUGHTS and PLANS, in the MIND, of Yahweh who brought forth his Messiah through his very own spoken words. FIRST, the word that was within God as God's thought before they CAME FORTH OUT FROM the mouth of Yahweh as PROPHECY. And then, Yahweh alone and by himself performed his spoken word of prophecy by his own self-same Spirit. Plain and simple, Jesus was Yahweh’s ideal and his WORK. Jesus was made, formed, and created in the WOMB of the Virgin Mary. Please read the studies “HOW DID JESUS BECOME JESUS?”, “WHEN DID JESUS BECOME GOD’S ETERNAL SON?”, “WHAT DOES GOD INCARNATE TRULY MEAN?”, and “WHAT DOES THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE MEAN?” for all the verses that prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that the BEGINNING of Jesus began at the Virgin birth of the Son of MAN.
The prophecy in Isaiah 9:6 says a CHILD will be BORN and THEN a Son will be given. A HUMAN CHILD had to be BORN of a Virgin woman FIRST before the Son of MAN, the second MAN, Adam could be given.
The Son of man was ANOINTED with the Holy Spirit and with power at his baptism. This anointing or this commissioning the Son of man was to EMPOWER Jesus to accomplish the task of doing all of his God and Father’s will. The first part of the Father’s will was for his fully human Son to live without sin. And the next part of the Father’s will was for his LAMB, the innocent Son of MAN to suffer and die on the cross as a true and holy sacrifice. For you see, Yahweh needed an innocent MAN to be unjustly slain in order to redeem back or to reconcile mankind back to himself. It was Satan who defamed the name of Yahweh and who also stole the dominion of the earth from mankind.
To sum things up in the simplest way, it was AFTER the CROSS that Jesus became God. You see, by the Son of MAN being highly exalted by his God and Father Jesus was made Lord of lords, and King of kings. And he will rule FOR Yahweh on his Father’s throne for 1000 years in the world to come. And his NEW NAME will be Yahweh our RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jesus will be the God of the whole earth having his Father’s NAME. This brings us to the third age.
AGE #3---JESUS AS OUR MEDIATOR.
In this age of Jesus, he is in heaven awaiting his return and to be God of the whole earth, the King of kings, the Lord of lords and as Yahweh, our RIGHTEOUSNESS. Yahweh our righteousness is the NEW NAME that his God and Father, SURNAMED his NOW eternal, highly exalted Son of God after the cross.
Let us read where Jesus MUST remain in heaven UNTIL the time of restoration because there have risen several false teachings claiming that Jesus has ALREADY returned.
Please read Acts, 3:20 -23.
“And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21. Whom the heaven MUST receive UNTIL the times (PLURAL) of restitution of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22. For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me;(Moses stood between the people and God, to be God’s voice to them because they did not want to hear God’s voice again. And that is what God wanted them to say, so he could create a RIGHTEOUS man who would do all his pleasure and accomplish the task or redemption for mankind, which was God’s plan from the foundation of the world) HIM shall you hear in all things whatsoever HE shall say unto you. (Seventh day of the week Sabbath-keeping Christians have a hard time understanding that God COMMANDED the children of Israel to OBEY the teachings of their Messiah, Jesus, and to do whatever HE teaches them in the NEW COVENANT. They fail to see that Jesus Christ is the END of the law of Moses contained in ORDINANCES. They TWIST the teachings in the New Testament to their OWN DESTRUCTION. They fail to see that whosoever does NOT OBEY the teachings of Jesus that they will be cut off and destroyed in the lake of fire)
23. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be DESTROYED from among the people.”
So then, as of December 2018, there has been NO return of Jesus either invisible or visible because there are still WARS in this present world. When Jesus returns every eye shall see him when he comes. NO ONE will need to be TOLD when Jesus has returned because we will all know instantly at the same time. Please read the study “WHAT DOES MATTHEW 24:34 TRULY MEAN?” along with all the studies under the heading >>>PRETERISM!<<<
Also, there will be NO secret escape from the great tribulation so-called pre-tribulation rapture. The great tribulation will escalate the persecution of Christians during the war of Armageddon that will be in progress when Jesus comes to destroy them who are destroying the earth. And the Battle of Armageddon will usher in age number four.
AGE #4---JESUS DURING THE MILLENNIUM.
Jesus will rule with a rod of IRON. Yes, the 1000 year reign of Jesus will be a 1000 years of peace having no wars. But at the starting of this fourth age, Jesus will destroy the wicked with a rod of IRON. And the PURPOSE of this is to make every unwilling knee to bow before him and confess that he is Lord to the glory of Yahweh the Father. This is to show mankind the mortals in the world to come that those who do not call on the name of Jesus to be saved that they will be destroyed. There will be no more excuses during the 1000 year reign of Jesus.
You see, God will be finished with excuses in this age number four. And Jesus will allow the mortals, only ONE disobedience, of not keeping the feast of tabernacles. Strike two and it is the lake of fire for them. Please understand that the feast of tabernacles in the world to come will be like what we call an altar call to be saved. So, basically, Jesus is going to ask twice for people to be saved during the Millennium. And after the second rejection to be saved that will be their last chance to be saved. So if you want eternal life when Jesus returns then NOW is the day of Salvation.
Only those who obey the teachings of Jesus in the New Covenant written in the New Testament shall receive eternal life to rule and reign WITH Jesus in the world to come. The children of Israel will NOT receive eternal life at the coming of Jesus when he will return with his armies of the saints and the angels to execute the first half of God's wrath. Jesus warned them that the first shall be last and the last shall be first. So if you are a natural-born Jew then you need to come to receive Jesus as your Messiah NOW in this present world in order to receive eternal life in the world to come.
There will only be a REMNANT of Jewish people left alive after the great tribulation, the war at Armageddon, and the wrath of God. In other words, there will be a great many Jews that are living in the Middle East that will be killed during the 3 1/2 years of the great tribulation. And only a REMNANT of Jews will finally recognize Jesus as their Messiah after they SEE him coming to deliver them. But it will be too late for them to receive eternal life AT his coming. However, IF they call upon the name of the Lord to be saved, then they will be saved alive in their MORTAL bodies. And then the REMNANT of Jews and those who survived the wrath of God by also calling on God to save them will go into the Millennium in their MORTAL bodies to be taught the ways of Yahweh. This brings us to the fifth age which is the ages to come that will come after the 1000 year reign of Jesus. To learn more details about the Millennium please read the studies “THE 1000 YEAR REIGN OF JESUS!” and “IS THE 1000 YEAR REIGN OF JESUS LITERAL?”
AGE #5.---THE AGES TO COME.
This age may or may not be many ages that are called the ages to come. This fifth age will start after the Millennium. At the end of the Millennium Jesus will step down from ruling for Yahweh and he will commit the kingdom back into the hands of his Father.
Please read 1 Corinthians 15:25-28.
“For he (Speaking of Jesus. I will highlight all the pronouns referring to Jesus is yellow) must reign, till he (Referring to Yahweh the Father. I will highlight all the pronouns referring to the Father in orange) has put all enemies under his feet.
26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. (Which will be after the 1000 year reign of Jesus has ended)
27. For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, THEN shall the Son also himself be SUBJECT unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.”
Then after Jesus steps down from ruling FOR Yahweh the Father during the fourth age that is also called the FIRST DOMINION in Malachi, God will create a new heaven and a new earth. You see, this present earth will pass away and melt with fervent heat. Now, some argue that God will simply restore the present earth but there are also reasons to believe that Yahweh will create an entirely new earth for his new creation of RIGHTEOUS sons and daughters to dwell in through the ages to come.
The truth of the matter is that the Bible simply does not give us very much information concerning the ages to come.
Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
For a deeper understanding of this WAR that Lucifer and one third of the angels waged against the throne of Almighty God, please read the studies under the subject category called ** Q-0 Why Are We Here? Is God at WAR? **.
