Genesis 1:26, Let Us Make Man In Our Own Image!

God is Talking to His Yet Future Messiah!

***What Does Genesis 1:26 TRULY mean?

Here is Genesis 1:26 from the KJV.  “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: 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 creepeth upon the earth.”

Does Genesis 1:26 PROVE that God is a Trinity Godhead made up of three separate persons as church tradition claims? 

In other words, does this verse of Scripture prove that the Bible teaches that the Son of God always existed as the second person of a triune God?

We all know and understand that the Old Testament is filled with PROPHECY about the coming of the Messiah.

So, why is it so hard for some Christians to accept the truth that Genesis 1:26 is a hidden prophecy of God talking to His uet future Messiah to help Him make man in the image of His Son, according to Romans 8:29?

God is Talking to the Elohim and His Future Messiah!

Does Genesis 1:26 prove that Jesus pre-existed as a SEPARATE person who was WITH God AT his SIDE from all the eternity past?

Does Genesis 1:26 prove that God is a TRINITY?

There are no less than at least three schools of thought for the meaning of this passage of Scripture in Genesis chapter 1, verse 26, where the plural of the Hebrew word Elohim is translated as God. 

Recently, the Holy Spirit revealed to me a FOURTH and FIFTH understanding of Genesis 1:26, which I have never heard nor read before. I will share all five of these views and let you, the reader and seeker of the truth, decide for yourself as to which interpretation is the most SOUND BIBLICAL interpretation which agrees with ALL of God's word without any contradictions with any other verses of Scripture.

I say view or interpretation because the Bible ITSELF does not specifically come straight out and plainly STATE as FACT as to WHO the “us” and “our” is referring TO in Genesis 1:26. But all Christians agree that ONE of the “us” is for sure to be Yahweh HIMSELF who is clearly identified as Almighty God the Father in the New Testament because only the one true God is the CREATOR. The controversy arose between the only true God as being One God is ONE person or ONE God in THREE persons. 

And thus,, the plural use of  the pronoun “us” in Genesis 1:26 become one of the most CONTROVERSIAL subjects among Christians as HOW to EXPLAIN the PLURAL use of the personal pronoun “us” as being the ONE true God who is CREATOR of everything that exists. Again, the controversy arises today due to Christians being taught that there is just ONE God being spoke of in the Old Testament Scriptures as being the CREATOR ALONE and by HIMSELF, but yet, in the New Testament there are some verses that SEEM to be saying that Jesus is the creator. 

So let us begin this study in God’s word to learn the TRUE sound Biblical meaning of Genesis 1:26. We will start by reading a verse from the Old Testament that clearly teaches us that Yahweh AONE and BY Himself is the creator.

Please read 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;”

You see, in the Old Testament it is made absolutely clear to us that our creator is Yahweh ALONE by HIMSELF and NONE other beside him. Yet in a few verses in the Old Testament we see this PLURAL use of the personal pronoun “us” where clearly Yahweh is ONE of the “us” who is seemingly talking TO someone else. Thus, the CONTROVERSY or the disagreement among Christians as to WHO is the OTHER “us” in this Scripture referring TO other than Yahweh? For you see, it is quite obvious that Yahweh is talking to someone else other than Himself.

VIEW #1.

The first view or interpretation of the “us” in Genesis 1:26 of course is the doctrine of the Trinity. The doctrine of the Trinity is the belief  that Almighty God Yahweh is, was, and always will be a “Trinity” Godhead composed of three separate persons in the one Godhead. According to the ORTHODOX doctrine of the Trinity, the Godhead is Almighty God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit who have always existed without beginning and without end being co-eternal and co-equal where none is greater than or less than the other. Yet NOT three Gods, but rather, three separate distinctly different persons, who are inseparable persons in ONE God, And thus Trinitarian Christians believe that the pronoun “us” in Genesis 1:26 is the Trinity Godhead where Almighty God the Father is doing the speaking to the other two persons of the Trinity Godhead.

Genesis 1:26a.

“Let US make man in OUR image, and after OUR likeness...”

VIEW #2.

The second point of view is that Almighty God was alone in the beginning with no one with Him at His side. Then before Yahweh created anything God BROUGHT FORTH His FIRSTBORN SON into existence. And then, Almighty God BEGAN His creation THROUGH His SON, BY his SON, and WITH His SON. In other words, God first created His SON, and then God created everything else THROUGH, by and with His SON. The Jehovah's Witnesses and the Mormons and others as well hold to this belief or something very similar to it.

VIEW #3.

Thirdly there is the view that the PLURAL ELOHIM refer to God and the angels and other hosts of created beings that Almighty God had already created in His own image as WHO God was conversing with and included them in the conversation as the “us” and the “OUR” seeing that they were created in God's very own image. But those who teach this view do not say if the other Elohim or the angels took an active part in creation or even WHY God was talking to them. So the question against this view arises asking why did God need help for he managed to create them without any help.

Keep in mind that ALL three of these views are OPINIONS and THEORIES because nowhere in the Bible itself do the Scriptures actually specifically STATE, as to WHO the “us” is referring TO. NOR does the Bible ITSELF state the NUMBER of the “us” being TWO, THREE, or many without numbering them.

After God showed me from the Scriptures that the doctrine of the Trinity contradicts so many other verses of Scripture, I began to do in-depth studies on each and every verse of Scripture used by those who teach the doctrine of the Trinity to try and support their view. And when I came to Genesis 1:26, I was impressed to think of this verse of Scripture as PROPHECY and NOT as history in the eternity past. And that is how view #4 and view #5 came to be.

VIEW #4.

Here is the FOURTH view. First of all, we as Christians, all agree that the Bible is composed of more than one book and that many of these 66 books of the Bible are PROPHETIC. There is even PROPHECY in the days of creation which I cover in some of my other studies. Thus, the fourth point of view is that Genesis 1:26 is a PROPHECY of Yahweh's yet COMING SON who he has not yet brought into existence. So Yahweh is talking to His yet future Son IN the future as the human Jesus is reading the Scriptures to learn that the Scripture speaks of him as being the Messiah. But more specifically, this passage of Scripture in Genesis 1:26 is a DUAL prophecy teaching us about TWO CREATIONS.

The FIRST creation, that is to say the first creation AFTER the angels and God’s recreation or God restoring the earth to be habitable once again, is obviously the creation of Adam and Eve. And the SECOND creation is God's NEW CREATION where His future SON Jesus will yet be begotten of God. In other words, from the time that this PROPHECY was given, God’s Son was yet to become the FIRSTBORN of every creature, the firstborn among many brethren of the NEW CREATION of Yahweh. This is where the pronoun “us” comes into play. For you see. God’s anointed human SON becoming obedient to do all the Will of his God and Father is the cause or the reason which made it possible for God's NEW creation. God needed a MAN to be His Messiah. And that is the REASON why the PLURAL use of “us” in Genesis 1:26 and other places in the Old Testament.

This FOURTH view is what I myself believe. But I also believe in a MODIFIED version of view number three where the “us” was God speaking to his angels. Let me explain what I mean by this.

Let us take a CLOSE look at the THIRD view in a way that I have never heard taught by others and then we will come back and take a close look at this NEW revelation from the Holy Spirit of this FOURTH view of Genesis 1:26 being a DUAL PROPHECY of TWO CREATIONS where the first creation takes place right away and prophecy of God's NEW creation BEGINS its FULFILLMENT at the RESURRECTION of God's SON Jesus as Jesus being the BEGINNING of God’s creation, according to Revelation 3:14.             

The reason that I want to explain in great DETAIL the point of view 3# which I will call VIEW #5 is because many of the clear, plain, and simple meanings of the Scripture explained in this FIFTH view are a spin off of view #3. However, I ALSO include view#4 as well in with view #5. So PLEASE do NOT just skim over or skip past the IN-DEPTH explanation of the third view which is actually improved and expand in VIEW #5 to make sound Biblical sense without contradicting any other verses of Scripture.

VIEW #5.

Here is the explanation of the FIFTH view. Again, all the in-depth explanation of the Scriptures in this fifth view carry over and apply as well to the FOURTH view so please carefully and prayerfully read the WHOLE matter. Basically, the fourth view led to the fifth view as I learned more revelation from the Holy Spirit. And by revelation, I mean I saw things that I never saw before reading those same verses many multiple times before. We all have experienced this type of revelation from the Holy Spirit leading and guiding us into all truth. So please understand that I am not self exalting myself as having “special” revelation from the Holy Spirit. We all have revelations at times. For you see, when we say, why did I not see that before, then that is a revelation from the Holy Spirit.

Let us now begin this study in God's word buy reading the explanation of the FIFTH view, and then continue right back into the fourth view, which I now personally believe is the most sound Biblical interpretation along WITH the FIFTH view as being a PART of the CORRECT interpretation of the meaning of “us” in the Scriptures. In other words, BOTH the fourth and the fifth views together give us the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God concerning this highly controversial subject of WHO does the “us” and the “our” is the Scripture referring TO in Genesis 1:26 and other verses as well?

The question has been asked, WHO was Almighty God talking TO when he said, “Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness...” This question can be answered in a number of ways as I said before and one of these ways is that God was speaking to His created beings, the angels and other created beings that he had ALREADY created in His own image ALONE and BY Himself, according to Isaiah 44:24, when God said in Genesis 1:26-31 the following.

Genesis 1:26-31.

“And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness: 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.

27. So God created man in HIS OWN (SINGULAR) image, in the image of God created HE (SINGULAR) him, (Speaking of mankind as in a single race of one kind, as in, the MALE. Or speaking of a SINGLE HUMAN being, which is what I now have come to believe. Keep in mind the hidden prophecies of Jesus as well. For you see, the pronoun “him” in this verse is also a PROPHECY of God yet future Son. God created Adam first and Adam is a type of figure of Jesus. Also, there is an untranslated Aleph Tav right before the pronoun him. In other words, the original text reads “So God created (H853) man in His own image, in the image of God created He him” And Jesus was MADE perfect to BECOME the author of eternal salvation, according to Hebrews 5:9) male AND female created HE (SINGULAR) them. (Agan, we know further on in Scripture that God created the single man Adam first and then later created woman OUT OF the rib of Adam the FIRST created HUMAN)

28. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.

29. And God said, Behold, I  (SINGULAR) have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creeps upon the earth, wherein there is life, I (SINGULAR) have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31. And God saw everything that HE (SINGULAR) had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”

So then, God MAY have literally been talking TO his angels, who were literally there with him, but HE ALONE and BY HIMSELF created all things. Please notice that the word of TRUTH clearly teaches us Almighty God ALONE created man in HIS OWN image and the Almighty God ALONE gave His creation all they needed, and that invisible Eternal God ALONE saw everything that HE had made was very good. So the ONLY place we see ANY plural in the ELOHIM in ALL of Genesis chapter 1 is in verse 26, where Almighty God could have been talking to the ELOHIM, His angels, whom God had already created.

You see the Hebrew word “ELOHIM” is a plural word, which can and does refer to a SINGLE being in ONE person in the Scriptures. Here is what Strong's Exhaustive Concordance says that this Hebrew word “ELOHIM” means the following.

God (plural of majesty: plural in form, but singular in meaning with a focus on great power). This Hebrew word also means gods or any person characterized by greatness or power. Elohim simply means MIGHTY ONE, a great one, a judge, God or god. This Hebrew word “ELOHIM” is used also to refer to the ANGELS in Psalm 8:5, where Jesus is prophesied to BE created or MADE a little lower than the ANGELS also called the ELOHIM. 

The word ELOHIM is a title meaning a MIGHTY ONE or a strong one or one who has AUTHORITY over someone or something. Even the sons of MEN are called ELOHIM but this does not make us to be the ALMIGHTY God who is creator and owner of all His creation. It simply means that we are called to BE Elohim or mighty ones. Know you not that WE, along with Jesus, will JUDGE the angels?

Psalm 8:3-6.

“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

4. What is MAN, that you are mindful of him? And the SON OF MAN, that you visit him?

5. For YOU have made HIM a little lower than the angels, and have crowned HIM with glory and honor.

6. YOU made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet.”

All Christians agree that this passage of Scripture is a prophecy of Jesus where it seems as if the Angels or the Elohim are talking to Yahweh asking Almighty God their creator, “what is man that YOU are mindful of him” where the pronoun “him” is in the singular. When we read in Hebrews 2:6-9 the writer is quoting this passage of Scripture in Psalm 8:3-6 which we just read is speaking of all of mankind including Jesus, the Son of MAN. Now while the pronoun “YOU” that is referring to Almighty God Yahweh can be plural, the context of Psalm 8 seems to be speaking of Yahweh The Father in the SINGULAR. Let us see what Hebrews chapter 2 teaches us.

Hebrews 2:6-9

“But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is MAN, that YOU are mindful of him? Or the son of MAN, that YOU visit him? (Remember the PROPHECY in Isaiah 50:4 that Yahweh visited Jesus morning by morning TEACHING him the Scriptures)

7. YOU MADE HIM a little lower than the angels; YOU CROWNED HIM with glory and honor, (No other MAN or HUMAN being other than Jesus has been glorified, as yet. Nor has any other human being received their crown of eternal life, as yet. But even though we, as Christians, will also be given the crown of eternal life and new glorified immortal bodies like Jesus has now it must be understood that Jesus is preeminent and the HEAD of or over his bride. My main point right now is for you to see that the FIRST estate of Jesus was LOWER than the ANGLES during the days of his FLESH and then AFTER the cross his God and Father CROWNED the Son of MAN< Jesus with glory and honor GIVING him eternal life to be having in himself even as the Father has always had eternal life in Himself) and (YOU) did SET HIM over the works of YOUR hands: (Please notice the YOU here is referring TO the CREATOR Yahweh, Almighty God, the Father. And also notice that Yahweh SET or appointed Jesus to be over the world yet to come. I know that this particular verse does not say the world yet to come but that is what it means in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. See 1 Corinthians 15:2-8 for just one example)

8. YOU have put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. (Again, please see 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 where during the 1000 year reign of Jesus, Almighty God HIMSELF puts all things under the feet of his SON Jesus. All through the New Testament it is made clear to us that Almighty God the FATHER ALONE and BY HIMSELF is the ONE who did the WORKS. Thus, the one true God in ONE person, the Almighty God, the Father, glorified his SON which in turn, the Son GLORIFIED the FATHER.)

9. But we see Jesus, WHO was MADE a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, (And THEN) crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”

When we compare Hebrews chapter 2 with 1 Corinthians chapter 15, we clearly see that the YOU is Psalm 8 is SINGULAR referring to Yahweh the FATHER who ALONE and BY HIMSELF created mankind. Also we, CLEARLY see that the HUMAN Jesus was MADE or BROUGHT FORTH INTO EXISTENCE. Of this TRUTH there is absolutely NO DOUBT. And I am sure all Christians will AGREE that the HUMAN Jesus did NOT pre-exist as a HUMAN BEING BEFORE the earth was ever created.

But what about Jesus pre-existing as the eternal divine SON of Almighty God, the Father, for ALL the eternity past as Trinitarian Christians teach? In other words, did Jesus always exist as a self-existing IMMORTAL separate person of the Trinity Godhead alongside or WITH Almighty God, the FATHER, at His SIDE for all the eternity past as the doctrine of the Trinity teaches?

Well, let us find out by going to the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible, rather than going to the TRADITIONS of MAN and their man-made doctrines. Please read Psalm 2 which is a PROPHECY that gives us the context of WHEN the SON OF Almighty God Yahweh will be BEGOTTEN in the future. And obviously, that prophecy has already been fulfilled. My point is WHY would Almighty God PROPHESY of a yet future Son if so be that His Son already pre-existed at His side in the eternity past WITHOUT ever having a beginning?

Psalm 2:1-11.

“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2. The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD (Speaking of Yahweh, the Almighty God, the Father), AND against his ANOINTED, (Speaking of the SON OF Almighty God. And more specifically referring to Jesus as HIS Messiah at the coming AGAIN to the earth a SECOND time. In other words, Jesus is RETURNING to the earth in judgment to SAVE the faithful righteous ones and to destroy the wicked. But also His anointed is referring to us as Christians as being His anointed ones as well called kings and judges, if so be, we hold fast the confidence of our faith to the end of this yet future fiery trial. The world will be making war with God's people when Jesus comes again. I explain further what I mean by this in the studies related to the SECOND coming or the RETURN of Jesus and the wrath of God. But for now, these rebellious people are raging and they are) saying,

3. Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. (In other words, many heathen of the nations will JOIN Satan and his army of fallen angels to make WAR with Jesus and Almighty God AT the second coming of Jesus. To the world that does not believe in God, the coming of Jesus will look like an alien invasion from outer space. Please read the studies under the heading >>>WHY ARE WE HERE?-IS GOD AT WAR?<<<)

4. HE that sits in the heavens shall laugh: (Speaking of Almighty God who sits upon the throne in heavens which will be coming with Yahweh as He brings His FIRSTBORN into the world to have the fallen angels bow and worship His new King. In other words, the heavens is plural to mean the third heaven where God’s throne is now, and the second heaven which is outer space. At the second coming, the city of God called the New Jerusalem will be stationed in the sky or outer space orbiting the earth as Yahweh’s tabernacle or chariot) the Lord (Or MY Lord referring to Almighty God speaking of his SON whom he has ANOINTED or appointed to be God’s King of kings and Lord of lords) shall have them in derision. (Jesus is given the authority of JUDGMENT, according to John 5:26,27 to execute the wrath FOR Almighty God the Father)

5. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure (Referring to Almighty God as a voice from heaven or speaking through His SON whom He has anointed and given authority to execute Yahweh's wrath speaking in the authority

OF Yahweh in His behalf ruling and reigning FOR Yahweh)

6. Yet have I  (Almighty God Yahweh) SET MY king (Speaking of Jesus the SON of Almighty God, whom Yahweh himself has MADE Lord and CROWNED with glory to become HIS King of kings. In other words, Jesus was highly exalted to BECOME the King of kings BY THE ETERNAL invisible KING, his God and Father, the one true and ONLY ALMIGHTY God in ONE person, the God of gods, including being the God of Jesus whom He Himself MADE to be Lord and God over the earth in the world yet to God for 1000 years. So Yahweh is saying I have SET MY king, my Son Jesus) upon MY holy hill of Zion. (Now, in the next verse, the one speaking in the first person SINGULAR changes from Yahweh the Father doing the speaking to His SON Jesus doing the speaking FOR his God and Father)

7. I (Jesus) WILL declare the decree: (Or I will speak of what my God and Father has spoken unto me saying) the LORD (Or Yahweh, the ALMIGHTY, my God and my Father) has said unto ME, You are my Son; THIS DAY have I  (Or I, Almighty God have) BEGOTTEN you. (The phrase “THIS DAY” is a PROPHECY that was FULFILLED on the very day that almighty God raised the Son of MAN, Jesus from the dead to BECOME God’s FIRSTBORN Son, according to Acts 13:33,34. Please read the three-part study “WHEN DID JESUS BECOME GOD’S ETERNAL SON?”)

8. Ask of me, and I  (Almighty God your God and Father) shall GIVE you the heathen for your INHERITANCE, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession. (Now, why would an already God the Son, the second person of a Godhead Trinity God need to INHERIT the uttermost parts of the earth as his possession seeing that God already OWNS everything that He Himself created? Can you not see my dear brothers and sister in our Lord Jesus Christ, the many, many verses of Scripture that the doctrine of the Trinity CONTRADICTS? Everything thing that Jesus is or has was GIVEN to him BY his God and Father as the JOY set before the Son of MAN, Jesus to endure the cross, according to Hebres 12:2)

9. You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

10. Be wise now, therefore, O you kings: be instructed, you judges of the earth. (Or be wise you Christians who are prophesied and called to be kings and judges of the earth lest you fall from grace to join the rebellious and disobedient to suffer the wrath of Almighty God)

11. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12. Kiss the SON, lest he be angry, and you (Unfaithful Christians as disobedient children) perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they, that put their trust in him.”

Now, every verse in Psalm 2 is PROPHECY. So to try and argue that verse 7 is NOT a prophecy of a yet future day is to TWIST the Scriptures to fit your own man-made doctrine of the Trinity. So then, the context here teaches us that Jesus, as the SON OF Almighty God, was brought forth into existence on a CERTAIN DAY or specific point in TIME in the FUTURE from the time that the prophecy was given. In other words, the Son of God was NOT begotten in the eternity past without ever having a beginning. The very meaning of the word begotten means being brought into existence.

The Hebrew word that is translated as “BEGOTTEN” literally means to GENERATE or to bring into existence, to be born, to bring forth into existence for a purpose. So then, the SON was brought forth into existence for a PURPOSE and the phrase “THIS DAY” refers not only to a specific DAY of being GENERATED, but also, THIS DAY speaks of the PURPOSE for which the SON was BROUGHT FORTH into existence. Please read the three-part study “WHEN DID JESUS BECOME GOD'S ETERNAL SON?”. This TRUTH of Jesus BECOMING God’s ETERNAL Son on the very day that God raised the Son of MAN from the dead and GAVE him eternal life as his reward will become clearer as we continue this study in God's word.

And as you see more and more that Jesus did NOT pre-exist in the eternity past as the doctrine of the Trinity teaches, then my prayer for you who are Trinitarian Christians is that you will see with your own eye FROM the Scriptures that the doctrine of the Trinity is NOT sound Biblical teaching and you will reject the doctrine of the Trinity as being false teaching.

Please read Hebrews 1:5,6 where Almighty God the Father is speaking TO his SON Jesus which is also a quote from the Old Testament Scriptures as a hidden PROPHECY of God’s yet future Son who we know to be Jesus as the fulfillment of PROPHECY.

Hebrews 1:5,6.

“For unto which of the angels said HE (Almighty God the Father) at any time, You are MY SON, THIS DAY have I BEGOTTEN you? (Speaking of on a certain DAY the SON was brought forth into existence as God’s ETERNAL Son BY Almighty God) And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? (Or in another place in the Scriptures it is ALSO prophesied. You see, the author of Hebrews is quoting a PROPHECY from the Old Testament is the book of Psalms 2:7 THIS DAY have I begotten you, And then again the writer of Hebrews quotes a different verse of Scripture from the Old Testament saying) “I WILL BE to him a Father and he SHALL be to me a SON” (Now, this prophecy clearly, and plainly teaches us in SIMPLICITY that God's SON did NOT pre-exist WITH Yahweh at His side like the doctrine of the Trinity and others like the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Christadeplians wrongly teach. But rather, the word of TRUTH clearly teaches us that God's SON was brought into existence on a certain DAY in TIME where he never existed before except WITHIN Yahweh as God's IMAGE and desire to one day have a SON that He could TRUST with a position of great power and authority to replace Lucifer who rebelled against God and tried to take over God’s throne by force of war. Again, please read all the studies under the heading >>>WHY ARE WE HERE?-IS GOD AT WAR?<<<)

6. And again, when he (Almighty God the Father at the second coming) brings in the FIRST BEGOTTEN into the world, (Speaking of Yahweh the Father coming WITH His now glorified FIRSTBORN Son into the world AGAIN at the SECOND coming of Jesus) he said, And let all the angels of God worship him.”

Verse 6 is referring to Yahweh bring BACK His firstborn Son into the world at the second coming or the RETURN of Jesus during the 1000 year reign of Jesus which is WHEN the PROPHECIES say that he will be called Mighty God and the God of the whole earth.

The FIRST BEGOTTEN here is speaking of God's NEW CREATION where Jesus is the FIRST HUMAN to BECOME a part of God's NEW CREATION. Revelation 3:14 teaches us that Jesus is the BEGINNING of God’s creation.

Revelation 3:14.

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen, the FAITHFUL and TRUE WITNESS, the BEGINNING of the creation OF God;”

 Please notice that Almighty God is the CREATOR of His creation. Also, notice the descriptions of Jesus as being the AMEN, the FAITHFUL and TRUE WITNESS right before saying the BEGINNING OF the creation OF God. The word AMEN means trustworthy and we all know what faithful means. And the words TRUE WITNESS means truthful testimony. The word WITNESS also means MARTYR. Jesus was the first MARTYR to die for the sake of the TRUTH. So, according to the context, the BEGINNING of creation is NOT referring to the beginning of creation in the eternity past. But rather, Jesus being the BEGINNING OF the CREATION of God means that Jesus is FIRSTBORN of EVERY CREATURE to be MADE in the IMAGE of God to become the FIRSTBORN among many brethren who are created IN Jesus Christ the BEGINNING of the CREATION of God, speaking of God’s NEW creation of immortal righteous people that God can ENTRUST the world to come into their hands.

I will explain what all this means when we get to the explanation of the FOURTH point of view of Genesis 1:26 where the “us” is a PROPHECY of God's YET COMING SON and THE NEW CREATION where God's SON Jesus is an intricate PART of God's NEW CREATION. 

For without the obedience of Jesus, the Son of MAN to accomplish all his God and Father's will even to suffer and die on the cross there would be NO new creation of God. Again, I will explain all of this in greater detail in the next section, but for now, let us finish reading view number three which is God talking to the angels both fallen and faithful saying, “Let US make man in OUR image and after OUR likeness…”

Now, we have just seen from Hebrews chapter 1 and Psalm 2:7 that it was PROPHESIED on a certain DAY that God would beget His yet future SON Jesus. Then in Acts 13:26-41 we see CLEARLY that the DAY in which Jesus as the SON of Almighty God was BEGOTTEN as a theos or as an elohim. In other words, one the very day that God raised the mortal human Son of MAN, Jesus, God highly excited His human Son to be made partaken to God’s divine nature of immortality to become “a” God under and subject to his God and Father. That was the fulfillment of the phrase “THIS DAY” that was prophesied to come when the child born of a virgin would become God’s ETERNAL Son to be SET or appointed as God’s King of kings and Lord of lords in the world to come.

Please read Acts 13:26-41.

“Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fears God, (Speaking of every Gentile as well) to you is the word of this salvation sent. (Or God desires that the gospel be preached to every human being of every nationality so they can be saved is they BELIEVE)

27. For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. (Speaking of the prophecies of Jesus concerning his death as a MARTYR  for testifying the TRUTH being fulfilled)

28. And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

29. And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.

30. But God raised him from the dead.

31. And he was seen many days (Speaking of the forty days after God raised Jesus from the dead showing himself alive never to die again) of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

32. And we declare unto you glad tidings , how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

33. God has FULFILLED the same unto us their children, IN THAT He has RAISED up Jesus again; AS IT IS WRITTEN in the second psalm, You are my SON, THIS DAYI  have BEGOTTEN YOU. (In other words, Psalm 2:7 was a PROPHECY of the YET COMING SON OF God that would one day in the future come to pass to be BROUGHT FORTH into existence as a MAN, a mortal HUMAN being, the Son of MAN. And then, at his baptism by John the Baptist in the River Jordan, Almighty God Himself would ANOINTED or endue with power from on high with His very own Holy Spirit. That is when the Eternal Spirit came to DWELL IN the Son of MAN, Jesus, to empower God’s human SON to do the works that God sent or COMMISSIONED him to do. Jesus teaches us that he could do NOTHING OF himself and that it was the Father dwelling IN him that was the one actually doing the works men saw Jesus do, saying, surely no MAN can do such works except God be WITH him.)

34. And as concerning that He raised him up from the dead, now NO more to return to corruption, He said on this wise, I will GIVE you the sure mercies of David. (Meaning that everything PROPHESIED about king David is actually prophecy concerning Jesus, God's yet coming SON, at the time that the prophecy was spoken. God HID His secret plan of salvation being IN His Messiah in the Scriptures. Please read the study “UNDERSTANDING WHY?” for the reasons of WHY God needed to keep His PLAN of salvation a SECRET. For you see, had the enemy of God KNOWN he would not have had the Lord of glory crucified)

35. Wherefore (Or for this reason of HIDDEN prophecy of giving eternal life to His anointed servant, Jesus) He said also in another Psalm, You shall not suffer your Holy One to see corruption.

36. For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

37. But he, (Jesus, the Christ), whom God raised again, saw no corruption. (In other words, Almighty God did not just raise Jesus from the dead to die again, but rather Almighty God GAVE to his SON his very own divine nature of IMMORTALITY or ETERNAL LIFE which the SON had never had before. Please see John 5:18-31 below in a moment)

38. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this MAN is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

39. And by him (Or through Jesus the SON of God the chosen one, the anointed one, the Messiah and the BEGINNING of the NEW CREATION of God) ALL that BELIEVE are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40. Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

41. Behold, you who despise, and wonder, and perish: for I (Almighty God) work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a MAN declares it unto you.”

So here in this passage of Scripture it becomes crystal clear that the DAY, in which Jesus actually BECAME the ETERNAL SON of Almighty God, was on the DAY in which Almighty God RAISED his SON from the dead and GAVE to his SON the same IMMORTALITY that Almighty God Himself had ALWAYS possessed. 

This is the BEGINNING of God's NEW CREATION, where Jesus is the BEGINNING of God's NEW CREATION, being the FIRSTBORN of every CREATURE, the FIRST BORN from the DEAD, the FIRSTBORN among many brethren. Please read John 5:18-32 to get the full CONTEXT of what the word of TRUTH clearly teaches us, and in the next section under the FOURTH view of “us” in Scripture truly means. I will explain in more detail of God's NEW creation giving you all the verses being correctly interpreted IN their CONTEXT as you continue reading this study in God’s word. But first let us read John 5:18-32 that clearly teaches us that God’s human Son was GIVEN eternal life after the cross because he was the Son of MAN.

John 5:18-32.

“Therefore, the JEWS sought all the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the Sabbath, but also said that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. (In other words, the JEWS either incorrectly interpreted the words of Jesus and FALSELY ACCUSED Jesus of making himself EQUAL to Almighty God or that Jesus was self-exalting himself to be an Elohim, a mighty one, or a god. But as you will plainly see as you continue to read the CONTEXT that Jesus ANSWERED in his DEFENSE the FOLLOWING)

19. Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do NOTHING OF HIMSELF, but what he sees the Father do: for what things soever he does, these also does the Son likewise. (In other words, whatever Jesus, the Son of MAN, saw in a dream or a vision or in the written word of God and whatever Jesus heard the Father say to do by the inward voice of the Holy Spirit, then Jesus simply OBEYED what he knew that the Father was telling him to do. Now to ME, this clearly teaches us that Jesus was in NO WAY claiming to be the great I AM THAT I AM in Exodus 3:14. Nor was Jesus making himself to be EQUAL with Almighty God the Father because Jesus said of himself that the SON can do NOTHING OF HIMSELF and only obeys what the Father is showing him to do)

20. For the Father loves the Son, and SHOWS him all things that HIMSELF does: (The pronoun HIMSELF here is speaking of the Father as the one actually DOING the works men saw Jesus doing. This is the same if men see us, as Christians, heal a person. It is the Father leading or showing us to heal that person. However, it is NOT us, who are actually doing the healing, but rather, it is to Eternal Spirit HIMSELF DWELLING IN us who does the work) and he will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

21. For as the Father raises up the dead, and quickens them; even so the Son quickens whom he will.

22. FOR (Or BECAUSE) the Father judges no man, but has COMMITTED all judgment unto the SON:

23. That all men should honor the Son, EVEN AS they honor the Father. He that honors NOT the Son honors NOT the Father which has SENT him. (In other words, the Bible teaches us that we must believe and abide IN BOTH the Father AND the SON in order to have ETERNAL LIFE in the world to come. But yet the doctrine of the Trinity wants us to believe that Jesus IS the Yahweh Himself, as in, ONE and the SAME BEING as the I AM. Yes there is absolutely no doubt that Jesus came OUT FROM the one true and only ALMIGHTY God. But this by no means that Jesus IS the one true and ONLY ALMIGHTY God. You see THE ALMIGHTY God has NO beginning, but Jesus the SON OF Almighty God was BEGOTTEN or brought into existence. Yes, Almighty God said I SHALL BECOME, who I am BECOMING, which could INTERPRETED to mean that Almighty God literally BECAME a HUMAN BEING. But that interpretation contradicts many other verses of Scripture. Please read the studies “37 FACTS TO PONDER ABOUT JESUS BEING GOD!” and “DID JESUS ALWAYS PRE-EXIST AS GOD’S SON?”)

24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on Him that SENT (Or COMMISSIONED) me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

25. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. (Because the GodOF Jesus GAVE His Son this authority. Your see dear children of God, one of the main arguments of those, who teach the doctrine of the Trinity, is they CLAIM that the ONLY possible way Jesus that could have done the things that he did is if he were Yahweh HIMSELF in the flesh being fully Almighty God and fully a man at the SAME time having TWO NATURES, one DIVINE nature by which he was able to do miracles, and a human nature which made it possible for God Himself to die. To me, and a LOT of other Christians, this Trinity doctrine is NOT comprehensible. But the WORD of TRUTH which states in SIMPLICITY that the Father GAVE His human SON this power and authority is EASY to understand and comprehend. For you see, WE have been given the same power to heal people THROUGH the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us as believers. We do not have to be dogmatically told that it is a MYSTERY beyond human comprehension that we can do the same works that Jesus did like the doctrine of the Trinity)

26. For AS the Father has life IN himself; SO has he GIVEN to the Son TO HAVE life IN himself;

27. And has GIVEN him authority to execute judgment also, BECAUSE he is the Son of MAN.

28. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, (In other words, all that Jesus is, and all that Jesus has INCLUDING IMMORTAL LIFE and the AUTHORITY to raise the dead was GIVEN TO him BY HIS God and Father the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God And the REASON of WHY God highly exalted His SON and GAVE Jesus his very own divine nature of IMMORTALITY TO HAVE in himself was BECAUSE Jesus was the Son of MAN and NOT because Jesus was FULLY God, nor because Jesus was the SON of God, but rather BECAUSE that Jesus was the Son of MAN, a HUMAN BEING that OVERCAME the enemy by the Holy Spirit of Almighty God the DWELT IN Jesus. This is what the WHOLE word of God clearly teaches us in SIMPLICITY. So then, Jesus was GIVEN the authority execute JUDGMENT by the Father only AFTER, which includes raising the dead)

29. And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

30. I can OF MY OWN SELF DO NOTHING: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek NOT mine OWN will, BUT the will of the Father which has SENT me. (Now, does this sound like Jesus is saying that he himself is the great I AM THAT I AM? Does this sound like Jesus is saying that he is EQUAL to Almighty God the Father? Does this sound like Jesus is saying that he is the Almighty Himself? Absolutely NOT! Jesus himself clearly and plainly said with absolutely NO interpretation needed that he could do NOTHING in and of himself. To say this another way, the doctrines of the Trinity and the Deity of Jesus CONTRADICT these many clear, plain, and simple verses that do NOT need to be interpreted to know what they mean. So think things through for YOURSELF dear children of God. If Jesus were truly claiming to be equal with God as Trinitarian Christians dogmatically demand, then WHY would Jesus HIMSELF teach us in SIMPLICITY that he could do NOTHING of his OWN SELF?)

31. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. (Jesus was not manifested to show himself, but rather, Jesus was manifested to show us the Father to be the only true God, according to John 17:1-3)

32. There is another that bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.”

You see what the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible, teaches us is that BEFORE the beginning of creation ever began there was YAHWEH ALONE, who ONLY EXISTED ETERNALLY by SELF-existing with IMMORTALITY within HIMSELF and the SOURCE of all life. Thus, Yahweh ALONE is called the CREATOR of everything that exists by HIMSELF being the SOURCE of all life. This truth is found in many places in the Bible, but the most clear, plain, and simple places are in 1 Timothy 6:16 and in Proverbs 8:22-36.

Let us first read 1 Timothy 6:14-16 where we see that YAHWEH is UNSEEN and can NOT be SEEN, which means that the one true and only ALMIGHTY God is INVISIBLE.

1 Timothy 6:14-16.

“That you keep this commandment (Or KEEP this precept, this principle, or the YOU dear child of God KEEP THIS TEACHING) without spot, (Or without perversion) not being able to be rebuked, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

15. Which in his times (Speaking of both the first and second comings of Jesus) he (Jesus, the Christ, the SON of the living God) shall SHOW, WHO IS the blessed and ONLY Potentate, (Or the ONLY SOVEREIGN, the ONLY Almighty God) the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

16. Who ONLY has IMMORTALITY, dwelling in the light which NO man can approach unto; whom NO man has SEEN, (Or whom no mortal human has seen) NOR CAN SEE: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.”

This passage of Scripture CLEARLY and PLAINLY teaches us that there is ONLY ONE God in ONE person who has ALWAYS possessed IMMORTALITY in and of Himself. And that ONE IMMORTAL DIVINE being is described here in the word of TRUTH as being INVISIBLE where no mortal man can EVER SEE Him. And this ONE divine being in ONE person who ONLY has always possessed IMMORTALITY in Himself is also described as being the ONLY one, who is the HIGHEST of all other Gods being called the ONLY Potentate or ONLY Sovereign over ALL. The Apostle Paul teaches us in his letter to Timothy that we are to KEEP this IRREFUTABLE teaching SPOTLESS until the APPEARING of Jesus where every eye shall SEE Jesus. Think about this for a moment and let it sink in. Since every eye will see Jesus at his coming again and NO MAN can ever see the only true God then how can Jesus be the only true God? 

Do not let Jesus being MADE the King of king and the Lord of lords confuse the true meaning of this passage or Scripture. For you see, according to 1 Timothy 1:17, Almighty God the Father is the ETERNAL King who MADE Jesus to be King over us who will be made kings under Jesus at his coming, according to Psalm 2:6, Acts 2:36, and Revelation 1:6. The Eternal King is THE King and head over Jesus who is King and head over us who will be made kings at his coming to rule and reign with Jesus for 1000 years.

Now that we have established that neither the HUMAN Jesus pre-existed with Almighty God as a HUMAN being before the BEGINNING of creation, NOR did the SON of Almighty God pre-exist as a SEPARATE person of the Trinity with Almighty God the Father BEFORE the BEGINNING of creation, I want you to please read Proverbs 8:22-36. For you see, Trinitarian Christians as well as the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Christadelphian Christians teach that God created the entire universe through or by Jesus. And therefore, to them Jesus must have pre-existed in the eternity past in order to be the creator with God.

 Proverbs teaches us that BEFORE the foundation of the world Almighty God PROPHESIED to BRING FORTH out from Himself that was never before GENERATED from Himself. Jesus is described in Proverbs 8:30,31 AS ONE who was brought up with Yahweh. This means as IF Jesus was actually there, but in truth, Jesus was only there in the MIND and desire of God to bring forth a Son who would be FAITHFUL and not rebel against Him like Lucifer did. 

Proverbs in the Old Testament calls this part of Almighty God generated from within Himself to come out of Himself wisdom and understanding, whereas the New Testament in John 1:1 calls this part of Almighty God His WORD.

Proverbs 8:22-31.

“The LORD (Yahweh) possessed me (Or Almighty God he acquired me, or Yahweh he CREATED me. The Hebrew word translated as possessed here is Strong's #7069 and also means CREATED His SON by wisdom and understanding to be brought into existence in the future. In other words, God devised a clever plan of salvation) in the beginning of HIS way, before HIS works of old.

23. I was SET UP (Or caused to be poured out, or caused to be appointed Strong’s #5258) from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

24. When there were no depths, I was BROUGHT FORTH; (Or I was formed or to swirl around or be birthed #2342) when there were no fountains abounding with water.

25. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills I was BROUGHT FORTH: (Jesus was brought forth as an IMAGE within God first. Yahweh may or may not have spoken His word of PROPHECY concerning His Son yet to be. I myself lean toward the answer no, because God needed to keep his PLAN of salvation a SECRET from His enemy Lucifer and the fallen angels. Please read the study “UNDERSTANDING WHY?” The main point that I want you to see right now is that Jesus was BROUGHT FORTH into existence, and, therefore, Jesus can NOT be Almighty God Himself because the only true God has no beginning. Yahweh was never brought into existence by anyone or anything. The Jehovah’s Witness and the Christadelpians teach that Jesus was brought into existence in the eternity past but as you will soon see that Jesus was not brought into existence until his virgin birth as the mortal human Son of God. In the verses to follow please notice that IF Jesus did pre-exist in the eternity past that he did not lift one finger to create anything or help Yahweh to create anything. Rather, Jesus was in the MIND of God whale Yahweh ALONE and BY Himself di the creating)

26. While as yet HE had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

27. When HE prepared the heavens, I was there: (Meaning that God’s yet future Son was in Yahweh’s mind and plan of salvation while HE alone and by Himself was recreating or restoring the earth to be HABITABLE once again after it became void and empty during the war wage against God by Lucifer) when HE set a compass upon the face of the depth:

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 the foundations of the earth: (Now, if so be that a few verses of Scripture in the New Testament truly mean that Jesus created all things and that Jesus pre-existed because he is the creator then why do we ONLY see Yahweh ALONE and BY Himself doing all the creating? I will tell you why. iIt is because that is what truly happened, according to the whole word of Almighty God when the Scriptures are correctly interpreted in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. All those New Testament verses that SEEM to be saying that Jesus is the creator of ALL things are speaking of the NEW creation of “the ALL of whosoever believes”. The word “THINGS” is NOT in the original text. Please read the studies under the heading >>>IS JESUS THE CREATOR?<<<)

30. Then I was BY Him, (The word BY means in the sense of JOINING Him) AS one BROUGHT UP with him: (Or as one being trained to be skilled) and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; (Think about God visiting Jesus DAILY every morning by morning TEACHING him the Scriptures that prophesied of him as God’s Messiah and how Jesus rejoiced before his God and Father each day after God voting him. That is what this verse is saying to me when I look at the meanings of these Hebrew words. I think about God saying, this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. It is like God saying, I KNOW he will obey all I command him to do and he will never rebel against me like Lucifer did. God prophesied the FUTURE of his yet future Son REJOICING)

31. Rejoicing in the HABITABLE part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.(Clearly, this whole passage of Scripture is a PROPHECY of the future because the habitable part of the earth was not yet CREATED. Or more precisely, in Genesis 1 the earth was not recreated as yet, as the NON-HABITABLE part of the earth that became void and empty in Genesis 1:2 was not yet restored to be HABITABLE once again. Thus, God's SON was AS one brought up with God to be JOINING God by His side on His throne in the future. So Jesus was only in the MIND and PLAN of Yahweh stirring and swirling around WITHIN God FORMING the IMAGE of what God DESIRED His yet future Son to BE in his mind. Yahweh then SPOKE forth OUT FROM His mouth as PROPHECY and men of old wrote down what God inspired them to write. When we look at Jesus actually came to be we see that the SPOKEN word of God, which is alive and quickens or make alive or gives life was conceived in the womb of Mary to BECOME a human being BORN of a woman. The SIMPLE word of God does NOT say that the word became a GOD/MAN, but rather, the word was made to become FLESH, a HUMAN being. We KNOW this to be the TRUTH, because Jesus said that he could do NOTHING of himself)

32. Now, therefore, hearken unto me, O you children: for blessed are they that KEEP my ways.

33. Hear instruction, and be wise, and REFUSE IT NOT.

34. Blessed is the man that hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

35. For whoso finds me finds life, (Again, we know that this passage of Scripture is PROPHECY of the YET coming SON of the living God meaning that if you do not have the SON of Almighty God, then you will not obtain ETERNAL LIFE in the world to come) and shall obtain favor of the LORD.

36. But he that sins against me wrongs his own soul: all they that hate me love death.”

In other words, those who DENY that Jesus is the Christ, the SON OF the living God love death. So pray for those who DENY that Jesus is the SON OF God so that their eyes will be open to the truth that Jesus is the ONLY name given among men whereby we MUST be saved.

       =============================++++++++++++------------+++++++++

The Hebrew word that is translated as “POSSESSED” in Proverbs 8:22 is “qanah” which means to create, to erect, to procure, to own, to possess. This same Hebrew word is used in Genesis 4:1 when Eve said she had gotten a son from God.

Genesis 4:1.

“And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have GOTTEN (#7069 ganah) a man from the LORD.”

This Hebrew word expresses Almighty God CREATING or bringing into being.  Thus, Eve actually said I have created a man child with the help of the Lord. In other words, being BORN of a woman is the same as being CREATED and Jesus was BORN of a woman. Now, this is not the only Scripture evidence that Jesus was created by Yahweh. For all the Scriptures please read the studies under the heading >>>WAS JESUS CREATED?<<< I will cover some of those verses in this study.

In Deuteronomy 32:6, God is called the Father who CREATED Israel.

Here is Deuteronomy 32:6 from the New Living Translation.

“Is this the way you repay the LORD, (Yahweh) you foolish and senseless people? Isn't he your Father who CREATED (# 7069 ganah) you? Has he not made you and established you?”

Again, this is the same Hebrew word used in Proverbs 8:22, which is a prophecy of Jesus being created by Yahweh. In Genesis 14:19 this Hebrew word “ganah” is translated as “POSSESSED” as it is in Proverbs 8:22, but clearly, the context means CREATED to OWN, as in, a POSSESSION or something BELONGING to the ONE who CREATED or brought it into being where it never existed before.

Here is Genesis 14:18-24 from the American Standard Version which clearly teaches us that this Hebrew word that is translated as “POSSESSED” means without a doubt being CREATED and brought into existence by the one true and ONLY ALMIGHTY God.

Genesis 14:18-24.

“And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High.

19. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of God Most-High, POSSESSOR (#7069 ganah) of heaven and earth: (All Christians agree that the MOST-High God Yahweh CREATED the heavens and the earth. In other words, Almighty God CREATED the heavens and the earth to OWN or belong to Him as His POSSESSION to do whatever He chooses to do with what He CREATES)

20. And blessed be God Most-High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him a tenth of all.

21. And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to yourself.

22. And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand unto Jehovah, God Most-High, POSSESSOR (#7069 ganah) of heaven and earth, (Now, think about Jesus INHERITING the earth after the cross, according to Hebrews 1:2 and many other verses of Scripture. Why would an already God the Son need to INHERIT what he already possesses as being the creator of all things? The answer is that Jesus is NOT the creator of all things and he himself was created by Yahweh)

23. That I will not take a thread nor a shoe-latch nor aught that is yours, lest you should say, I have made Abram rich:

24. Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion.”

So then, we can clearly see that this same Hebrew word “GANAH” used as God possessing His yet future SON in Proverbs 8:22 is also translated as CREATED in the New Living Translation as well as many other translations of the Bible. And we know that Almighty God CREATED the heavens and the earth AND POSSESSED what He Himself created alone and by Himself, according to Isaiah 44:24.. To say this another way Yahweh POSSESSES EVERYTHING that He Himself CREATES. So why is Jesus GIVEN everything he has and MADE to become everything he is BY his God and YFather Yahweh if so be that Jesus is Almighty God Himself as being God the Son, the second person of a Godhead Trinity God.

In other words, IF SO BE, that Jesus is NOT created by Yahweh, then what gives Yahweh the RIGHT to POSSESS that which He HIMSELF did NOT create? Does Yahweh POSSESS Himself? Did Yahweh BRING FORTH Himself? NO! Absolutely not, Yahweh has NO beginning and Jesus was BEGOTTEN BY Yahweh to be brought into existence.

The doctrine of ONENESS teaches that God manifested Himself as the Son being BOTH the Father and the Son at the SAME time where the SON is fully Yahweh and fully a man at the same time having TWO natures, one DIVINE, and one human. Pretty much the SAME thing as the doctrine of the Trinity EXCEPT that God’s Son did NOT pre-exist in the eternity past and that the Son is NOT a separated distinctly different person from the Father. Now when you truly take a closer look at 1 Timothy 3:16 which is the Oneness main proof text of God MANIFESTING Himself to become the Son you will see that it does NOT say God manifested HIMSELF in the flesh. Rather, it says God was manifest in the flesh. And the article :THE” God is NOT in the original text. So the intended meaning of the word of the Apostle Pauls could very well mean that “a” god was manifest in the flesh. Please read the study “1 TIMOTHY 3:16 GOD MANIFEST IN THE FLESH!”

The Bible itself clearly teaches us that Yahweh himself ALONE and by HIMSELF is the CREATOR of all things and the SOURCE of ALL LIFE being the ONLY ONE who has always had IMMORTALITY in Himself as the ONLY GIVER of LIFE. So then, again, WHO was Almighty God TALKING TO in Genesis 1:26? Remember to read verse 27 as well because there is NO “us” doing the creating in Genesis. So to ME, the “us” in Genesis 1:26 is Yahweh speaking to the ANGELS and to His yet future Messiah to help Yahweh create a NEW people IN His Son Jesus. And God’s human Son, Jesus, would be God’s FIRSTBORN Son from the dead, the BEGINNING of the creation of God referring to God’s NEW CREATION of righteous immortal humans. And God would exalt His FIRSTBORN to be higher than the kings of the earth, according to the prophecy in Psalm 89:27.

Let us read Genesis 1:26,27 again.

“And God (Elohim) said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness: 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.

27. So God (Elohim) created man in HIS OWN image, (The pronoun “His” is referring back to God here in the SINGULAR) in the image of God created HE (Being SINGULAR or the ONE Godin ONE person created) him; male and female created HE (Again, being SINGULAR. as in, Yahweh alone by Himself created) them.”

Jesus was made in the IMAGE of God AFTER the cross and WE are being conformed into the IMAGE of Jesus. Jesus did not biome the eternal Son of God until AFTER the cross. The fulness of the Godhead did NOT dwell in Jesus until AFTER the cross. Jesus was not highly exalted until AFTER the cross. The disciples of Jesus did NOT behold the glory of Jesus as the ONLY begotten Son of God until AFTER the cross. Jesus was MADE Lord and a God under his God AFTER the cross. Jesus was GIVEN all power and authority to judge and give eternal life AFTER the cross. Plain, and simple, there was no pre-existing Son of God in the eternity past.

                         Now to ME, it does not truly matter WHO Almighty God is talking to in Genesis 2:26 and the other verses using the plural of US referring to God, because the end result is that Almighty God ALONE and BY HIMSELF created all things according to Isaiah 44:23 and many other verses throughout the Bible. And the MEANS by which Almighty God himself chose to create all things was to use his own SPOKEN WORD.

             And all the verses that SEEM to be saying that Jesus created all things are incorrectly INTERPRETED and in truth speak of God's NEW CREATION where we are created as a NEW creature IN Jesus Christ.

             But the point of this study in God's word was to answer the question, “WHO was Almighty God talking to when ELOHIM said, Let US make man in OUR image and after OUR likeness”, so let me tell you what I myself have concludes after much study and thought on this matter.

             I myself have come to believe that Almighty God, was speaking to his angels, BOTH the good and faithful angels and the fallen angels as well and more specifically to Lucifer, who had REBELLED against Almighty God to try and take OVER his THRONE in order to become the most high God himself. 

             Please read the study called “UNDERSTANDING WHY?” for a deeper understanding of WHY? Why do bad things happen? Why does God allow Satan to oppress and tempt mankind? Why did God not just destroy Satan? Why did God create mankind a little LOWER than the angels? I mean we, being mere men, always try to IMPROVE the things that we make and yet it seems that God went BACKWARDS in His creating, to make man INFERIOR to the angels His previous creation, but WHY? Why does God BIND Satan for 1000 years and then turn him LOOSE again so he can go about and deceive the whole word again after a 1000 years of peace? Why did an Almighty and all powerful God need to KEEP his plan of salvation SECRET? WHY? Read the study and learn what the word of Almighty God ITSELF teaches us, but for now just know that Almighty God created mankind to CLEAR his NAME and he needed a MAN to be able to ACCOMPLISH this task. I explain WHY in the above study, but for now please TRUST me that I am teaching you the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of God.

             Please read 1 Samuel 12:22, which says,

         “For the LORD will not forsake his people (WHY? Why will God NOT forsake his people even though they continually disobeyed him?) FOR his great NAME'S SAKE: because it has pleased the LORD to make you his people.”

             Please read Isaiah 48:11, which teaches us that God NAME is being polluted or God is being FALSELY ACCUSED by Lucifer saying, 'I am the way that I am, because YOU CREATED me this way'. But God says, 'NO Lucifer, I did not create you to be evil and rebel against me, but rather I created you perfect in all your ways in the day that I created you, but iniquity was FOUND in you, because of your PRIDE'. Now these are not the exact words, but rather they are my own paraphrased version of what I have gleaned from the Scriptures.

             My point is that if we look at the BIGGER picture of WHY, then we will NOT blame Almighty God for everything that happens. And even more so we will begin to stand in our God given authority and stop letting the enemy devour us at every turn.

             Here is Isaiah 48:11,

         “For mine OWN SAKE, EVEN for mine OWN SAKE, will I do it: for how should my NAME be POLLUTED? And I will not give my glory unto another.”

             Now when we read Isaiah 48:11 in its context we can see that Almighty God commanded with his mouth those things, which he himself desired to be brought forth. And in the book of Isaiah we see a lot of prophecy of Jesus the SON of Almighty God that is YET to COME, when these words of prophecy were written, but now we see that the first coming of Jesus has already taken place. or has been FULFILLED.

             What I am trying to say is that in the beginning Almighty God commanded his THOUGHTS to come forth by SPEAKING FORTH his thoughts in the form of his SPOKEN WORD. And ONE THING in particular is the FOCUS of WHY Almighty God created mankind LOWER or inferior to the angels, which was to CLEAR his NAME for his OWN SAKE.

             You see, the truth of the matter is that Lucifer, who rebelled and made war with Yahweh, and because of his rebellion he is now called SATAN, is on TRIAL for falsely accusing God of creating him evil. So God said to Lucifer, the fallen angels and the faithful angels that did not rebel against his,

                  “Let US make man in OUR image and after OUR likeness.”

             To paraphrase what is being said here in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of God, Elohim is saying, Just to PROVE to you angels that I created ALL of you PERFECT in all your ways in the day I created you, then let US make man is OUR image after OUR likeness, BUT I will make them a little lower and inferior to you angels so that I can clear my NAME and prove to you all once and for all time that I did not create any of you to be evil.

             Now let the reader also know that when this trial is all over that we, who overcome the enemy will be HIGHLY EXALTED to be ABOVE the angels to judge them.

             Here is Isaiah 48:3-16.

         “I (Almighty God) have declared the FORMER things (or I have declared the BEFORE things which have already come to pass, that is to say I Almighty God have declared things to be BEFORE they came to be) from the beginning; and they went forth OUT of my mouth, and I showed them (or I have summoned them, I have called them together, I have proclaimed them); I did them suddenly ( or I did them all at once or all in the beginning), and they came to pass.(The DECLARATIONS God SPOKE forth OUT FROM his MOUTH of the FORMER things of OLD speaking of God's FIRST creation of the worlds and all that there is that has come to PASS at this point in TIME.)

         4. Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow brass;

         5. I have even from the beginning declared it to you; BEFORE it came to pass I showed it to you: lest you should say, Mine idol has done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.

         6. You have heard, see all this; and will not you declare it? I have shown you NEW THINGS from this time, even hidden things, (this is speaking of God PLAN of salvation and God's NEW CREATION yet to come into being) and you did not know them.

          7. They (The spoken things Yahweh declared out of his mouth) are CREATED NOW, and NOT from the beginning; even before the day when you heard them not; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.(basically God is saying that what he said is created even though they are not yet seen. To say this another way, God calls things that are not yet just as though they already are. This is why some PROPHECIES of Jesus seem as if Jesus already existed before his being brought into existence at his human birth and completely becoming God' SON at his resurrection when God GAVE his SON Jesus his very own divine nature of IMMORTALITY TO HAVE in himself even as the Father has always possessed be self existing and without beginning. Jesus is the BEGINNING of God creation speaking of God's NEW CREATION being the FIRSTBORN for every creature. The Jehovah's Witnesses are in ERROR when they interpret Jesus being the very FIRST creation of God, who then created everything else. We will cover this verse in detail further on in this study of God's word.)

         8. Yea, you heard not; yea, you knew not; yea, from that time that your ear was not opened: for I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and was called a transgressor from the womb.

         9. For MY NAME'S SAKE will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I cut you not off.

         10. Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

         11. For MINE OWN SAKE, even for MINE OWN SAKE, will I do it: for how should my NAME be polluted? And I will not give my glory unto another.

         12. Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

         13. Mine hand ALSO has laid the foundation of the earth, AND my right hand has spanned the heavens: when I CALL unto them, they stand up together. (Now the HAND of the Lord can be seen as the SPIRIT of the Lord.But also the hand of the Lord can be seen as the prophesied coming SON of Almighty God being HIDDEN in PROPHECY as the RIGHT hand or the ARM of the Lord. So we can see here in this verse that Almighty God is speaking to his OWN Spirit and His WORD calling out to them things that are not yet come to pass to be coming to pass. In other words, God said, Let us, speaking to His OWN Spirit and His OWN Word calling out to them, Let US make man in OUR image and after OUR likeness. So to ME, I see TWO things; one is that Almighty God is speaking to the ANGELS, to clear his name with his FIRST creation, and the SECOND thing is that Almighty God is ALSO speaking to HIMSELF or more specifically Almighty God is speaking to his WORD in his mind contemplating what He Himself is going to do way in the future with God's NEW CREATION in His mind within Himself. In other words, the use of “us” in Genesis 1:26, as well as in every use of "US" when Elohim is speaking in the PLURAL, is actually Yahweh PROPHESYING his yet future NEW CREATION, in which his SON will be an intricate part for without the obedience of the Son of MAN to ACCOMPLISH the TASK of clearing God's NAME there would be NO NEW CREATION of God. Thus God say let US make man in OUR image and after OUR likeness, then Yahweh ALONE by HIMSELF created his FIRST creation including his SON Jesus, who would then take part in CREATING God's SECOND and NEW CREATION of IMMORTAL GLORIFIED HUMANS to dwell with God and his Son for all eternity in the NEW heavens and the NEW earth. More on this in greater detail with all the Scripture further on in this study of God's word.)

         14. All you, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them has declared these things? The LORD has loved him: he (Yahweh) will do his (Yahweh's) pleasure on Babylon (Satan and the fallen angels who are the evil spirits DECEIVING mankind), and his ARM (speaking of Yahweh's ARM referring to his SON Jesus) shall be on the Chaldeans. (referring to all of mankind, who do NOT believe on God's SON to be saved, with the exception of the REMNANT of Israel and those left alive of the nations who REPENT and call upon the name of the Lord to be saved alive in their MORTAL bodies to go into the 1000 year reign of Jesus in their MORTAL bodies to be taught of the Lord.)

         15. I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have CALLED him (my SON Jesus): I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.

         16. Come you near unto me, hear you this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, has sent me.(which LITERALLY READS, and now my Lord YHWH sends me AND Spirit OF him. This speaks of the Son of MAN being ANOINTED at his baptism with the Holy Spirit of God COMMISSIONING Jesus sending him out into the world WITH his Holy Spirit DWELLING IN the Son of MAN.)

             Now verse 16 here on the surface SEEMS to support the trinity by saying, and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, has sent ME, speaking of Almighty God AND his Spirit sending his WORD.

             But as I have commented above the LITERALLY translation of these Hebrew words in Isaiah 48:16 says, 

         "Come near to me, hear you! this NOT from beginning (but  rather THIS, speaking of this NEW THING that Yahweh has not yet brought to pass, which was spoken in the beginning concerning God's FIRST creation is NOT the SAME creation that was from the beginning. But THIS NEW THING) in CONCEALMENT I spoke from time to BECOME of her I there and now my Lord YAHWEH sends me AND Spirit OF him."

             Jesus said that he was NOT ALONE and that the Father was WITH him dwelling IN him. 

             So while there APPEARS to be THREE here in the King James translation of this verse, there are in reality only TWO persons or being in the LITERAL text. What I mean by this is that there is only ONE, who existed BEFORE creation BEGAN, which was YAHWEH, who ALONE has always possessed IMMORTALITY. The phrase "this NOT from beginning" is the CONCEALMENT of TWO CREATIONS where the first creation is openly declared and God NEW CREATION is spoken in CONCEALMENT or be HIDDEN in the same PROPHETIC word of God foretelling of God first creation. 

             Again we are going to look at this in detail further on in this study, but first I want you to see and understand that God's SON Jesus was BROUGHT FORTH INTO EXISTENCE just like Yahweh has brought forth all his creation into existence, which is BY God's SPOKEN word of SAYING coming OUT FROM God.

             And then Almighty God BROUGHT FORTH his WORD into existence that he used as he did in the BEGINNING of CREATING ALL things all the while having his SON Jesus in his MIND as the PURPOSE of all the God would create.

             You see dear child of God, the word of TRUTH speaks of Almighty God being a SPIRIT and ONLY the SPIRIT is called ETERNAL and ONLY Almighty God is called IMMORTAL. So in reality Almighty God, who is SPIRIT and HIS OWN Holy SPIRIT are ONE and the SAME BEING. God as being the eternal SPIRIT is present everywhere and in essence IS everything, seeing that all things are created OUT OF Yahweh. But yet a tree though it came OUT FROM Almighty God is NOT Almighty God himself, but rather a tree is MADE from the SUBSTANCE, which is FAITH that is UNSEEN speaking of SPIRIT itself who is Yahweh.

             So then, we have in the beginning the Word of Almighty God that was with or toward THE Almighty God, and what God shall become the word is or more precisely HIS Word IS BECOMING.

         “Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh” translated in many Bibles as being “I AM THAT I AM”.

             But the more LITERAL CORRECT translation being,

     “I shall BECOME who  (or what)  I am BECOMING.”

             So then, all the passages of scripture that have the PLURAL ELOHIM are not truly speaking of a trinity, but rather they are speaking of ELOHIM as a RULING authority where ALMIGHTY God is the mightiest of all the other ELOHIM. Please read the study called “OUR GOD IS ONE!” which will give you a better understanding that there is MORE that just ONE God, but there is ONLY ONE TRUE and ALMIGHTY God, who is the SOURCE of ALL things including being the source and creator of his SON Jesus.

             We already looked at 1 Timothy 6:16 where ONLY Almighty God has always had IMMORTALITY and John 5:18-32 where Jesus the SON of Almighty God was GIVEN immortality BY his God and Father. So then, now let us look at the two verses that teach us that Almighty God IS SPIRIT and the SPIRIT is ETERNAL. Please read John 4:24, which says that God IS SPIRIT,

         “God IS a SPIRIT: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

             Then when we read Hebrews 9:14 we see that the SPIRIT is ETERNAL, and at the same time we see that Jesus being the CHRIST or the ANOINTED ONE of this ETERNAL Holy Spirit OF his God and Father is HOW Jesus, who clearly stated the he could do NOTHING in and of himself, OVERCOME SIN THROUGH the ETERNAL SPIRIT that DWELT IN him to ENDUE his with POWER from on high.

             Hebrews 9:14.

         “How much more shall the blood of Christ (speaking of course of the MAN Jesus the ANOINTED ONE of his God and Father the one true and ONLY ALMIGHTY God who IS the ETERNAL SPIRIT), who (still speaking of the MAN Jesus the SON of Almighty God) THROUGH the ETERNAL Spirit offered himself without spot (or WITHOUT SIN) to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God (in RIGHTEOUSNESS WITHOUT SIN as well THROUGH the very same SPIRIT of the living God that DWELT IN Jesus the SON of the ONE true and only ALMIGHTY God who alone is the Father.)?”

             And then, when we read Acts 4:19-29 along with Acts 10:38, we see that Jesus healed the sick NOT of himself by his OWN power, but rather THROUGH the POWER OF the ETERNAL Holy SPIRIT of Almighty God the FATHER, who is THE ONE and the SELF SAME divine eternal being as his Holy SPIRIT that is present everywhere and the SOURCE of ALL that is both UNSEEN and SEEN.

             Here is Acts 10:38 first in its context, where we see that Jesus healed the sick by or THROUGH the CHRIST or the ANOINTING OF his God and Father.  

             Acts 10:37-48.

         “That word (or that GOSPEL, the TRUE GOSPEL and NOT another gospel), I say, you know, which was published (or preached and taught) throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

         38. HOW God (Almighty God the Father) ANOINTED Jesus of Nazareth WITH the Holy Ghost and with power (or HOW Almighty God the Father filled his SON Jesus with his very own ETERNAL SPIRIT, who EMPOWERED his Son to do the works that his God and Father SENT or COMMISSIONED his SON to ACCOMPLISH.): who (speaking of this same Jesus, the CHRIST, the ANOINTED ONE) went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; FOR (or BECAUSE) God (the ONE ETERNAL SPIRIT) was WITH him.

         39. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews (Please remember the words of Jesus himself saying that he could do NOTHING in and of himself and that it was the FATHER IN him that did the WORKS. Therefore we see again that the FATHER IS the ETERNAL SPIRIT that DWELT IN his SON Jesus the Son of MAN being seen CLEARLY as a MAN that God was WITH. In other words that Bible ITSELF plainly states as fact with no interpretation needed that it was the FATHER who DWELT IN Jesus and was the one actually doing the works men saw Jesus doing.), and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

         40. Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;

         41. Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

         42. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained OF God to be the Judge of quick and dead. (and NOT to preach that Jesus IS THE ONE true and only ALMIGHTY God, who the apostles of Jesus knew was the FATHER ALONE.)

         43. To him (the MAN that Almighty God would raise up from AMONG the people. To us a child is BORN) give all the prophets witness, that through his NAME whosoever believes in him shall receive remission of sins. (Remember that the NAME of Jesus means Yahweh saves or the salvation OF Yahweh speaking of the ANOINTED MAN Jesus being the salvation of Yahweh and NOT that Jesus is Yahweh HIMSELF. The ONE true and ONLY ALMIGHTY God the Father does NOT have another Almighty God and Father OVER him. For if Yahweh did have a God over him, then that God, who is over him would be THE one true and only ALMIGHTY God, who the Bible ITSELF always clearly identifies as being the FATHER and NOT the SON OF Almighty God the Father. Jesus was ORDAINED by his God and Father to be the JUDGE of the quick and the dead or judge of the living and of those who have died.)

         44. While Peter yet spoke these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all of them which HEARD the word (or which truly listened to and received the gospel of this MAN Jesus, the Christ).

         45. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

         46. FOR (or BECAUSE) they HEARD them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

         47. Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

         48. And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.”

              I am convinced that if more Christians actually HEARD the true gospel of Jesus THE CHRIST, The ANOINTED OF God, then they too would receive the fullness of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and speak with other tongues as well to be endue with the FULLNESS of the Holy Spirit dwelling in them. Then they would speak in other tongues to CONTINUE to be REFILLED over and over throughout their entire Christian life building up their most holy FAITH.

             What some Christians do not truly understand is that Jesus was a MAN, whom Almighty God FILLED or ANOINTED with his very own eternal SPIRIT, who DWELT IN his ordained Son of MAN Jesus. Here is Acts 4:19-31, which agrees with what I just explained to you.

         “But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the SIGHT of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge you.

         20. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. (this is why I myself must speak the things that I have been taught by the Holy Spirit of Almighty God even through the religious leaders of the Catholic or universal church and the mainstream protestant church denominations do not agree with what I teach, because they themselves have not taken the time to search the word of TRUTH for THEMSELVES to see what the WORD of God is actually teaching them. But rather the religious leaders of the mainstream churches chose to repeat and repeat and repeat over and over ONLY what they have been taught through man-made church TRADITION handed down to them by men, who just repeated what they were taught without searching the word of God to see if what they were being taught is the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God)

         21. So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God (THE Almighty God the Father) for that which was done.

         22. For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shown.(Miracles are a SIGN that God is WITH the MAN who is healing the sick. And these SIGNS shall follow them that BELIEVE. Not just believe on Jesus, but who believe in the ANOINTING, the SAME anointing who dwelt in Jesus, which NOW dwells in US who BELIEVE)

         23. And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.

         24. And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God (to THE Almighty God the Father) with one accord, and said, Lord, YOU are God, which has made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: (The LITERAL Greek says, Lord, as being the OWNER or possessor of ALL creation, then adds the emphasis that THE GOD being the OWNER and the one who CREATED ALL things. Here is how it reads in the original Greek: OWNER YOU THE GOD the one making the heaven and the land and the sea and the all in them. I say this because some trinitarians use this verse to TRY and prove that since Jesus is called Lord, then this verse must without fail mean that Jesus created all things. They do ERROR in the interpretation of the word of God. The word translated as Lord in the New Testament most of the time refers to Jesus, but in some cases such as this the word Lord speaks of Yahweh the one true and only Almighty God our creator and source of all.)

         25. Who by the mouth of your servant David has 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, AND against his CHRIST (or against God's ANOINTED ONE, whom his God and Father FILLED WITH his very OWN Holy SPIRIT to be ENDUED with POWER from on high).

         27. For of a TRUTH against your holy child Jesus, whom YOU have ANOINTED, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

         28. For to do whatsoever YOUR HAND (speaking of your very own self same eternal SPIRIT) and your counsel  determined before to be done.

         29. And now, Lord, behold their threatening: 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. (the HAND of the Lord in scripture is used many times as referring to the SPIRIT of Almighty God, which the Jews understood was ONE and the SELF SAME BEING as Almighty God Yahweh. So these believers understood that they were asking Almighty God to ANOINT them in the same way the God FILLED or ANOINTED his SON Jesus with his very own Holy Spirit.)

         31. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED WITH the Holy Ghost,(which did NOT make them to BE THE ALMIGHTY God, but rather made them to be his CHRISTS or ANOINTED ONES of Almighty God the Father, because the FATHER now DWELT IN them as well just like the FATHER DWELT IN his SON Jesus the Son of MAN) and they spoke the word of God with boldness.”

             Now when we read 1 John 4:1-21 we can CLEARLY see that it is ALMIGHTY God the FATHER, who IS the ETERNAL SPIRIT that DWELLS IN us even as THE Almighty God the Father the ETERNAL SPIRIT DWELT IN his SON Jesus the Son of MAN.

            1 John 4:1-21.

         “Beloved, believe NOT every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God (in other words, my dear brothers and sister in our Lord Jesus the CHRIST, do NOT believe EVERY TEACHING that you hear): BECAUSE many FALSE prophets are gone out into the world.

                             2. Hereby KNOW you the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus CHRIST is come in the flesh is of God (now the LITERAL GREEK reads as follows: “Every spirit which IS avowing Jesus ANOINTED in flesh having come OUT of THE God is” In other words, every teaching that confesses that Jesus being a HUMAN being was indeed ANOINTED WITH the eternal SPIRIT of Almighty God the Father himself having COME OUT of THE God to DWELL IN the body of flesh of his SON Jesus IS the TRUE spirit or TRUE doctrine of CHRIST or the TRUE teaching Jesus ANOINTED OF God, BUT the verse that follows says that any teaching CONTRARY to this TRUE gospel is ANTICHRIST, because it is AGAINST the truth the Jesus was a human being, who was ANOINTED WITH the eternal SPIRIT that DWELT IN human flesh. Before Jesus the Holy Spirit was only WITH God's servants and did NOT REMAIN all the time with them. This is a NEW THING that Yahweh is doing, which began with his SON Jesus.)

             3. And every spirit (or every false teaching of man) that confesses NOT that Jesus CHRIST is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of ANTICHRIST, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. (now the LITERAL Greek reads as follows: “And every spirit which NO is avowing the Jesus ANOINTED in flesh having come out of THE God NOT is (or is not of God) and this is of the INSTEAD ANOINTED which you have heard that it is coming and now in the system is already.)

         4. YOU are OF God, little children, and have overcome them: because GREATER is he that is IN YOU, than he that is in the world.

          5. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world hears them. (meaning that the world listens to the doctrines of devils and the god of this world system that does NOT want Christians to KNOW that the SAME Almighty God the DWELT IN Jesus ALSO DWELLS IN THEM as well. Because when Christian get a HOLD of this TRUTH, then THEY TO will DO the mighty works that Jesus did THROUGH this SAME ANOINTING of the Holy Spirit IN them. So then if Satan can KEEP Christians BLINDED to this TRUTH that they are CHRISTS as well by teaching then his doctrines that ONLY Jesus can live without sin and do mighty works like healing the sick and raising the dead, then what harm can these religious Christians do to his kingdom?)

          6. WE are OF God: he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears not us. HEREBY know we the spirit of TRUTH, and the spirit of ERROR. (in other words, if the gospel being preached or taught does NOT AGREE with GOSPEL of Jesus being THE CHRIST, the ANOINTED OF God, then that gospel is in ERROR and is ANTI or AGAINST the teaching that Jesus is the CHRIST or the ANOINTED ONE of Almighty God the Father where the ETERNAL SPIRIT DWELT IN Jesus rather than Jesus himself BEING THE ALMIGHTY God himself, the eternal Spirit. That is to say, to ME the teaching of the man-made doctrine of the trinity does NOT AGREE with the WHOLE word of Almighty God, because it falsely teaches that Jesus HIMSELF IS THE ALMIGHTY God rather than Jesus being ANOINTED OF his God and Father.)

          7. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is BORN OF God, and knows God.

          8. He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.

                              9. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God SENT (or COMMISSIONED) his only BEGOTTEN Son (to go out) into the world (In other words, Almighty God the Father SENT his uniquely or only BEGOTTEN SON that was UNIQUELY BEGOTTEN or brought into existence as a HUMAN BEING OUT to the world AFTER his human SON was BORN of a woman, because this is WHEN the SON was BEGOTTEN by his God and Father the one true and only ALMIGHTY God), that we might live through him.

         10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and SENT (or COMMISSIONED) his SON to be the propitiation for our sins. (please notice that the word of truth does not say that Almighty God SENT HIMSELF as some would have us to believe by saying that Jesus the SON of Almighty God is FULLY ALMIGHTY God IN THE FLESH and fully a human being at the SAME time)

            11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

         12. No man has SEEN God at any time. If we love one another, God (Speaking of Almighty God himself) DWELLS IN US, and his love is perfected in us.

         13. Hereby KNOW we that we dwell IN him, and HE IN US, BECAUSE he (Almighty God the Father) has given us of HIS SPIRIT. (In other words, the REASON that we KNOW that ALMIGHTY God the FATHER HIMSELF DWELLS IN US just like God DWELT IN his SON Jesus and that we DWELL IN Almighty God the Father is BECAUSE the one true and only Almighty God has GIVEN us HIS very own self same SPIRIT that he GAVE to his SON Jesus the Son of MAN a HUMAN BEING just like you and me except that Jesus was uniquely born without and earthly physical human father like the rest of mankind. God's Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are his children.)

         14. And we have seen and do testify that the Father SENT (COMMISSIONED) the SON to be the Savior of the world. (In much the same way that a lifeguard throws a rope with a life ring ATTACHED to it and then when the drowning person RECEIVES or HOLDS FAST to the life ring never letting go, the The FATHER or the life saver pulling on the rope, the Holy Spirit that is ATTACHED to his SON, the life ring, and SAVES the SINNER the drowning person, who BELIEVES by grabbing HOLD of JESUS and never lets go. The word COMMISSION means to give one the authority and the power the TASK that they are given to accomplish.)

         15. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the SON of God, God dwells in him, and he in God.

         16. And we have known and believed the love that God has to us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells IN God, and God IN HIM. (no where in the word of TRUTH are we taught or commanded that we must believe and confess that Jesus IS THE ALMIGHTY God, but we are taught and commanded to believe that Jesus IS the SON OF Almighty God the Father whom is the CHRIST or the ANOINTED ONE of Almighty God the Father, meaning the Almighty God himself who is SPIRIT DWELT IN his SON Jesus the Son of MAN a HUMAN BEING)

         17. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world (if so be that that Almighty God DWELLS IN you. And if you TRULY believe that the ETERNAL SPIRIT DWELLS IN you, then you should be doing the very same works that Jesus did including living your life free from sin. This is why I believe the mainstream church does Not want to teach that Jesus the Son of MAN was ANOINTED or FILLED WITH the Holy Spirit of Almighty God, because they are not doing the works that Jesus did THROUGH the ETERNAL SPIRIT who is HIS God and Father and who is OUR God and Father as well.).

         18. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.

         19. We love him, because he first loved us.

         20. If a man say, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God (THE one true and only ALMIGHTY God who IS an ETERNAL SPIRIT) whom he has NOT SEEN (because the ONE true and only ALMIGHTY God the FATHER is SPIRIT and he is INVISIBLE and can NOT ever be SEEN, but the disciple of Jesus SAW the SON of the one true INVISIBLE God who was the God and Father over his SON Jesus the Son of MAN)?

         21. And this commandment have we from him, That he who loves God love his brother also.”

             Now I know that I have taken a rather long side journey, but it is necessary for you to see the TRUTH that Jesus came OUT FROM God to be brought into existence where he never existed before except in the MIND and PLAN of God to one day have a SON. And that Jesus was begotten by the SPOKEN WORD of Almighty God that was LITERALLY MADE to BECOME a HUMAN being IN WHICH DWELT the ETERNAL SPIRIT of the FATHER who came out from God down to the earth to DWELL IN the bodily flesh of Jesus. 

             Everyone who has ever been taught the doctrine of the trinity knows that Jesus is NOT the FATHER. And every Christian, who is TRULY seeking the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of God should at least be beginning to see that Jesus in the days of his FLESH on the earth was a HUMAN BEING, who was FILLED with the Holy Spirit of Almighty God his God and Father.

             With that being said let us get back the PLURAL of ELOHIM in the Old Testament where God says, Let US...

             Please read Genesis 11:5-9 where the English translation in Bibles says, “Go to, let US go down...”and some Christians INTERPRET this to mean that God is a “TRINITY” or three separate persons in one God, because of the plural "US". 

             Genesis 11:5-9.

         “And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

         6.  And the LORD said, Behold, the people are one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do

         7. Go to, let US (the word let is not in the LITERAL TRANSLATION and the US is an UNDERSTOOD pronoun connected to the Hebrew word “yahab” that is translated as “Go to”, but also means “GIVE”, as in, GRANT US permission to. So the US here could be God's angel's. Also seeing that the Bible is filled with PROPHECIES this may very well be another DUAL prophecy foretelling the second coming of Jesus where both Yahweh and his Son will come WITH all the angels to execute the wrath of God. But the first fulfillment Yahweh sent his angels to) go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.(so then the ELOHIM or the ANGELS are asking Almighty God to grant them permission to do down and confound the language of the people so that they would not be able to do that which they intended to do)

         8. So the LORD (YHWH) scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

                            9. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD (YHWH) did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth.”

             Here is the LITERAL meaning of the original Hebrew in this passage of scripture in Genesis 11:5-9.

         “Grant attention you we shall descend and we shall.....”

             Or hearken grant us and we shall descend and we shall confound their language. Now the rest of the passage appears that Almighty God himself descends from heaven and does the works by his own hand in person, but in truth Almighty Gods SEND his ANGELS, his ELOHIM, his mighty ones down in his authority and they, the ANGELS, confounded the language of the people. 

             The MAJESTY, or the Godhead, the ALMIGHTY does not leave His THRONE to go out and do the work Himself, but rather Almighty God SENDS his own Spirit, or the one God SENDS his creation to do the work. And when God sends his own self the same Spirit it is usually stated in the text as the Spirit of the Lord or the HAND of the Lord, but none of that language is in the context of this passage of scripture. God also sends forth his spoken WORD so that his WORD of PROPHECY will go forth and shall not return void, but will BECOME what Almighty God has SPOKEN to be. And the angels are his ministering spirits to perform the work, when the work is not creative work.

             So again we see that the US here is the ELOHIM or the ANGELS conversing with Almighty God and NOT the three persons of the supposed and assumed “trinity” of God talking among themselves as some falsely teach.

             Some may say, well I see what you are saying, but what about Isaiah 41:22? Well let us take a closer look and see what this verse is truly saying when correctly interpreted in the light of the whole word of God.

             Isaiah 41:22.

         “Let them bring them forth, and show US what shall happen: let them show the former things, what they be, that WE may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare US things for to come.”

             Again we have all the choices that we have always had, but there is one additional choice that can be added to this passage of scripture. What I mean by this is:

             #1. Some INTERPRET this to dogmatically mean without fail that this verse speaks of God as a “TRINITY”.

             #2. OR this verse may be interpreted as Yahweh talking about His created Son being the firstborn of every creature, who created everything else.

             #3. OR Yahweh may be conversing with his angels.

             #4. OR Yahweh may be speaking to his yet coming Son through PROPHECY.

             #5. OR it may be a combination of #3 and #4 together to be a yet FUTURE fulfilling of God's NEW CREATION.

             This FIFTH understanding is that this whole passage of scripture is a PROPHECY of the SECOND coming of Almighty God with his Son Jesus, who FULFILLED the first stage of the WRATH of Almighty God his God and Father by or through the eternal Spirit, which was PROPHESIED to come. In other words, Almighty God the Father is speaking in the PLURAL giving his SON Jesus, who is NOW an IMMORTAL being like his God and Father, SHARED GLORY for accomplishing the Father's will to destroy the wicked and set up his kingdom of righteousness.

             Now the THEM, to whom Almighty God and his NOW GLORIFIED SON are talking to, may be the fallen angels or it may be the remnant of the nations, who are left alive to go into the 1000 year reign of Jesus, or it may be rebellious Israel that repented, when they saw their Messiah coming to save them. I personally cannot tell. The first half of the text specifies all the MORTALS, who are making war against Yahweh and his redeemer, and then this emphasis seems to stop at verse 22 and switch.

            Anyway the main point is that the whole chapter of Isaiah 41 is yet FUTURE and speaks of the second coming of Jesus, where there will be TWO SEPARATE persons, who are in AGREEMENT with each other fulfilling what Yahweh had already spoken in his written WORD as PROPHECY long ago.

             In other words, this passage of scripture is NOT about a PREEXISTING Jesus that was in the beginning as a separate SPIRIT BEING alongside THE ALMIGHTY God, but rather this passage of scripture is speaking of Jesus AFTER Almighty God has BEGOTTEN him as a HUMAN BEING and has GLORIFIED his SON with IMMORTALITY and then brings his SON back again into the world to execute his God and Father's WRATH and rule in his Father's kingdom for 1000 years.

             So then, in the same way is Isaiah 6:7, where Yahweh asks, who shall go for us. This is again a PROPHECY of the future where the prophet Isaiah sees in a VISION, Jesus sitting on a throne being high and lifted up or highly exalted. And Isaiah also sees in this same VISION the angels saying Holy Holy Holy to Almighty God the Father. Isaiah sees his sin and the sin of the people and the angels come over with a coal from the altar and touches the tongue of Isaiah and his sins are purged.

             Keep in mind that this is a VISION of when the people of Israel will be cleansed and the Lord or "ADONAI" being either Lord as in Yahweh, being the owner of all, or Jesus NOW being GLORIFIED and HIGHLY EXALTED to be a God over his Father's kingdom, who says to Isaiah, who shall go for US meaning that Almighty God the Father needs a PROPHET to go tell the people the WORD of God so that the WORD of Yahweh will be SPOKEN forth to be becoming into existence.

             So again, this is a prophecy where Almighty God has his COMING SON in view when this VISION is given to Isaiah.

             The last US verse that I myself am aware of is Genesis 3:22 where the ELOHIM says that man has become as one of us, knowing good and evil. This verse has nothing to do with creation itself, where God is supposedly a “TRINITY” creating all things. You see the ANGELS knew good and evil, because this is the BIG picture that to ME, unlocks the so called MYSTERY of all these US and WE verses that APPEAR to be Almighty God speaking OF HIMSELF.

             Here is Genesis 3:22-24.

         “And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of US, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever: (remember Satan's LIE that man would NOT die, but added the TRUTH that man would become LIKE God or the ELOHIM to KNOW good and evil? Well this truth was just fulfilled here in Genesis chapter 3. Also the LIE is as well proven to be a LIE. So the US here is clearly speaking of the ELOHIM as Almighty God and the ANGELS, both the fallen and the faithful angels.)

         23. Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

                            24. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”

             In verse 24 we see the CHERUBIM, who were angels that Almighty God places as guards over the tree of life so that fallen man could not eat of the tree of immortality and become immortal until Almighty God fully executed his SECRET PLAN of SALVATION by speaking forth his word of prophecy to become who he is BECOMING one day far in the future when the WORD will be MADE into a HUMAN BEING in which Almighty God would DWELL IN in order to EMPOWER the Son of MAN to OVERCOME his ENEMY and CLEAR the NAME of Yahweh, who was being FALSELY accused of creating Lucifer evil.

             Again please read the study “UNDERSTANDING WHY?”, which will give us an understanding of the BIG picture of WHY Almighty God being the MIGHTIEST of all gods needed to keep his plane of salvation a SECRET? When you understand that Almighty God is at WAR and his ENEMY is ACCUSING him that it is HIS fault, because he is the CREATOR, then you can see why it was necessary to hide his plan in his word putting a little here and a little there.

             You see, the scripture says that had they, speaking of the fallen angels, KNOWN, then they never would have crucified the Lord of glory, the INNOCENT LAMB that Almighty God provided for HIMSELF to SAVE mankind. You will understand WHY all the suffering of persecution in order to gain the kingdom of God. You will understand WHY mankind was created a little LOWER than the angels, and then later the ones who OVERCOME will be highly exalted ABOVE the angels to JUDGE them. It is all about the BIG picture and putting all the pieces of the puzzle in the RIGHT PLACE to get the CORRECT understanding of the WHOLE word of God.

             So then, in some verses the "US" may be God talking to the angels, in other places it may be the angels talking to God, And is ALL the places it is for sure PROPHECY where God is talking to his Son Jesus in the future.

             In other words, the "US" can mean God talking to whomsoever, as in, discussing that matter, and then Yahweh ALONE performs the task, but at the same time God is ALSO prophesying of a future event.

SECTION TWO

             Let us now go back to Genesis 1:26 and draw some parallels to the New Testament FULFILLMENT of this verse as PROPHECY where the "US" is TWO persons or beings as opposed to THREE, and these TWO are Yahweh and his SON Jesus is the FUTURE, which is both the FIRST and SECOND coming of Jesus.

             Genesis 1:26-31.

         “And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness: 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.

           27. So God created man in HIS OWN (SINGULAR) image, in the image of God created HE (SINGULAR) him (speaking of mankind as in a single race of one kind, as in, the MALE. Or speaking of a SINGLE HUMAN being, which is what I now have come to believe); male AND female created HE (SINGULAR) them. (We know further on in Scripture that God created the single man Adam first and then later created woman OUT OF the rib of Adam the FIRST created HUMAN.)

           28. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.

           29. And God said, Behold, I (SINGULAR) have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

           30. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creeps upon the earth, wherein there is life, I (SINGULAR) have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

           31. And God saw everything that HE (SINGULAR) had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the SIXTH day.”

               Many Christians are already familiar with the SEVEN DAY PLAN of God where the seven days of creation are a shadow or figure prophesying SEVEN ONE THOUSAND YEAR DAYS. Well if not I will give a brief overview of this 7000 year plan of God so you can see God's prophecy of each day of creation being fulfilled each 1000 years.

               The very days of creation themselves are TYPES, SHADOWS and FIGURES of the true yet to come. For example God DIVIDED the LIGHT from the DARKNESS on the FIRST day of the week or the FIRST 1000 years.

               And during that FIRST 1000 year day Adam ate from the tree of knowledge his eyes were open to DISCERN between GOOD and EVIL or LIGHT from DARKNESS. All through the Bible LIGHT is a figure of GOOD and DARKNESS is the shadow of EVIL.

               God divided the waters with a firmament on the SECOND day. It did not rain during the first 1000 year-long day. God changed the way that the ground was watered when he made it rain for forty days and forty nights at the flood of Noah during the SECOND 1000 year day.

               God divided the waters and made dry ground appear on the THIRD day. During the THIRD 1000 year day God divided the Red sea and made DRY ground appear.

               God made two great lights on the FOURTH day, a greater light by day and a lesser light by night. During the FOURTH 1000 year day God sent two great lights out into the world. The greater light was Jesus and the lesser light was John the baptist.

               God created life in the waters on the FIFTH day. During the FIFTH 1000 year day the Holy Spirit represented by LIVING water was given to all who believe in Jesus.

               God created man on the SIXTH day. At the end of the SIXTH 1000 year day God's NEW creation of IMMORTAL RIGHTEOUS men and women will occur. We are IN the SIXTH day of creation presently.

               God RESTED from all his works on the SEVENTH day. During the SEVENTH 1000 year day WE who believe NOW in this present world BEFORE the second coming of Jesus will REST with Almighty God the Father.

               Adam himself was used to make a comparison between the NATURAL and the SPIRITUAL showing us that one day yet in the future that the natural will take upon that divine spiritual nature of immortality.

               Please read 1 Corinthians 15:42-58.

               "So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption (Meaning that God created humans as MORTAL beings); it is raised in incorruption (meaning that the RIGHTEOUS will be raised and given the divine nature of IMMORTALITY): 

           43.  It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 

           44.  It is sown a NATURAL body; it is raised a SPIRITUAL body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 

           45.  And so it is written, The FIRST MAN Adam was made a living soul; the LAST Adam was made a quickening spirit. 

           46.  Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. (In other words the first Adam was a MORTAL human being and Jesus BECAME the FIRST HUMAN to be GIVEN the DIVINE NATURE of IMMORTALITY) 

                           47.  The first MAN is of the earth, earthy: the second MAN is the Lord from heaven. 

          48.  As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. (This is speaking of being BORN earthly and being BORN AGAIN of the WORD of God or BORN AGAIN of the SPIRIT.)

             49.  And as we have borne the image of the earthy, WE shall ALSO bear the IMAGE of the heavenly. 

          50.  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. 

          51.  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be CHANGED, 

          52.  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be CHANGED. 

          53.  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this MORTAL must put on IMMORTALITY.  

          54.  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 

          55.  O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 

          56.  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 

          57.  But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory THROUGH our Lord Jesus Christ.(Without the MAN Jesus the Christ there would be NO NEW creation of God.) 

                           58.  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you  steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord."

               So then, seeing that Jesus is the SECOND Adam, who was the FIRST HUMAN to ever be raised from the dead and GIVEN the DIVINE NATURE of IMMORTALITY and that WE, as faithful BORN AGAIN of the Spirit Christians, will ALSO be GIVEN the divine nature of IMMORTALITY at the second coming of Jesus, let us take a closer look at Genesis 1:26 as being a PROPHECY of God's NEW CREATION of Jesus BECOMING an IMMORTAL being of FLESH and BONE.

              In Genesis 1:31 we see that God created the FIRST HUMAN on the SIXTH DAY of creation. The LITERAL translation says HUMAN, as in, ONE SINGLE human being and the Bible calls him the FIRST Adam. And in the end of the SIXTH 1000 year day of God's 7000 year plan WE as faithful believers in Jesus the Christ the SON OF the living God, will receive our CHANGE to be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE of IMMORTALITY to rule and reign with Jesus during the SEVENTH 1000 year day.

             In other words, on the SIXTH DAY we shall be CREATED in the IMAGE of God and his SON Jesus. The Bible teaches us that we are being conformed into the IMAGE of God's SON Jesus. But if we do NOT allow ourselves to BE CONFORMED to our Lord's image of righteousness by rebelling and choosing our own way to live in sin, then we will NOT be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE of IMMORTALITY. Please read the study called "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED BIBLICAL?"

                    But for now please read 2 Peter 1:4.

          "Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these (the PROMISES of God) you might be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped (or by continuing to FLEE from) the corruption that is in the world through lust." 

              Now we INITIALLY become a NEW CREATURE or a NEW CREATION when we first become BORN AGAIN by the living word of God at the very moment when we first BELIEVED on Jesus. But we do NOT actually receive ETERNAL LIFE until the world to come, at the second coming of Jesus. We MUST OVERCOME as Jesus overcame before we actually RECEIVE our crown of ETERNAL LIFE. Remember that it was only AFTER Jesus became obedient to do all his God and Father's will that Jesus was HIGHLY EXALTED and GIVEN LIFE to have in himself even as the Father has life in himself.             

              Please read 2 Corinthians 5:14.

          "Therefore if ANY MAN (or if any HUMAN being) be in Christ, he (or she) is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

             The Bible teaches us that Jesus is the FIRSTBORN of his NEW CREATURE. And Genesis 2:26 is God speaking to the Son of man through his word of PROPHECY, through the Holy Spirit and through visions teaching the Son of MAN what he must do to REDEEM mankind back to God. But not just to buy back mankind as a creation LOWER than the angels, but to REWARD mankind for the things we suffered for the sake of Jesus. So like Jesus we also will be made partakers of the DIVINE NATURE of IMMORTALITY at the second coming of Jesus.

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.
