** A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME! **
***What Does Hebrews 10:5 TRULY mean?
Here is Hebrews 10:5 from the KJV. “Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:”
Does Hebrews 10:5 PROVE that Jesus is Almighty God the Father Himself Oneness Pentecostal Christians teach?
Does Hebrews 10:5 PROVE that Jesus is God the Son INCARNATE as Trinitarian Christians teach?
Does Hebrews 10:5 PROVE that Almighty God PROPHESIED to prepare His Messiah a NEW GLORIFIED immortal body as Biblical Unitarian Christians teach?

Does Hebrews 10:5 prove that Jesus PREEXISTED?
Does Hebrews 10:5 that refers to God preparing Jesus a BODY PROVE that Jesus pre-existed?
And what I mean by Jesus pre-existing is, does ANY verse in the entire Bible prove, without a doubt, that Jesus preexisted as the ETERNAL DIVINE SON OF Almighty God the Father in the eternity past without ever having a beginning?.
Trinitarian Christians dogmatically demand that Jesus pre-existed as the eternal God the SON, the second divine being of the TRINITY Godhead who has ALWAYS existed WITH God the Father at God’s side.
And, therefore, the THEM, Jesus is the ETERNAL SON of God WITHOUT ever having neither a BEGINNING nor ENDING.
Other Christians argue that Jesus did indeed have a BEGINNING but his beginning was in the eternity past.
Some say God created a Spirit being named the Word and that this so-called divine Word person created everything else.
And then the divine separate Spirit being named the Word came down out of heaven to become the Son of God.
As I have already said many times in other studies, I believe that the Bible itself teaches us that Jesus preexisted WITHIN the ONE God Yahweh HIMSELF who alone is the one true God in ONE person.
And more precisely, I believe that Jesus preexisted as the IMAGE that Yahweh had WITHIN Himself to one day bring forth into existence a HUMAN Son first and then after the cross highly exalt Jesus as Lord and God to replace Lucifer as the caretaker or the God of the earth.
To say this another way, I believe that the WHOLE word of God teaches us that Jesus only pre-existed WITHIN the MIND of God as Yahweh's thoughts and plans to one day bring forth His Son into existence as God’s secret PLAN of salvation to redeem the human race back to Himself.
So, to me, the BODY that Yahweh prepared for His Son is Jesus' NEW GLORIFIED immortal body that he received AFTER the cross.
Take a moment to consider God doing NEW THINGS that he has never done before and that one of these NEW things was God bringing forth into existence His SON Jesus.
Please read Isaiah 42:1-9 which is a PROPHECY of Jesus as the coming Messiah.
And Remember that Jesus said the Scripture testifies of him. All his members were written or prophesied in the Scriptures, according to Psalm 139:16.
Let us go ahead and read Psalm 139:13-16 first and then we will read Isaiah 42:1-9 concerning God prophesying NEW things that He will do in the future from the time He prophesied those new things to come into existence before He performed His word to bring them to pass.
Psalm 149:13-16.
“For You have possessed my reins: You have covered me in my mother's womb.
Psalm 149:14. I will praise You; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are YOUR works; and that my soul knows right well.
Psalm 149:15. My substance was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and (When I was) curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. (Speaking of the Son of MAN being curiously wrought in Hell or in the belly of the earth after he was crucified)
Psalm 149:16. Your eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; AND in Your book (Speaking of the prophecies in the Scriptures, the Holy Bible) all my members were written, which in continuance were FASHIONED, when as yet there was NONE of them.”
So, as you can plainly see, Jesus did not yet exist until Almighty God CREATED him in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Jesus was one of God's NEW things that Yahweh prophesied into existence. Now let us read Isaiah 42:1-9.
Isaiah 42:1-9.
“Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit upon him: (Referring to the Holy Spirit coming down like a dove and resting or remaining on Jesus at his baptism.
That was when God came to DWELL in His human Son Jesus, ANOINTING him with the Holy Spirit and POWER from on high.
Jesus was MADE both Lord and the Christ by his God and Father, according to Acts 2:36) he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. (All power and authority to judge was COMMITTED to Jesus after the cross which was when he was MADE Lord by his God and Father crowning him with glory.
This was revealed to Jesus before the cross which is why Jesus prophesied God's word saying that he is the Lord of the SABBATH which is speaking of the 1000 year long Sabbath rest of Yahweh the Father.
According to John 18:37, Jesus was BORN to be made King of Israel for 1000 years in the world yet to come)
Isaiah 42:2. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
Isaiah 42:3. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
Isaiah 42:4. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he has set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
Isaiah 42:5. Thus says God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which comes out of it; he that gives breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
Isaiah 42:6. I the LORD have called YOU in righteousness, and will hold YOUR hand, and will keep YOU, and give YOU for a COVENANT of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
Isaiah 42:7. To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
Isaiah 42:8. I am the LORD: (Or I am Yahweh) that is My name: and My glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. (In other words, Yahweh is saying that he will share his glory with ONLY his ELECT one whom He Himself ANOINTED at the baptism of the Son of MAN, Jesus.
So, this verse is NOT saying that Yahweh will never share His glory with anyone.
But rather, it is saying that He will not share His glory with anyone EXCEPT for His ELECT. And that means Jesus, His Messiah AND those of us who are created IN Jesus Christ as NEW CREATURES)
Isaiah 42:9. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and NEW THINGS do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
Now again, one of the FORMER things was that there was only ONE God in ONE person who did not share His glory with anyone in the Old Testament times.
But then Yahweh prophesied that He would bring that old thing of not sharing His glory to pass away or come to an end.
There was no other God or gods in the OLD Testament that ruled FOR Yahweh in such a HIGH position, as in, being second in command having been given ALL power and authority as Yahweh gave to Jesus.
However, some of the angels were called Elohim, which in translated as gods which Yahweh Himself SET to be gods under Himself to rule parts of His kingdom as caretakers FOR Yahweh.
And in Isaiah 42:9, God is prophesying of doing NEW THINGS on the earth.
And one of those NEW things was to have a SON to INHERIT the worlds to come.
Once you see that Jesus is NOT the ALMIGHTY Himself who alone is the FATHER and that Jesus was MADE Lord and God after the cross, then it will be easier to see that Jesus did indeed have a beginning and that he was NOT co-eternal with the Father in the eternity past.
So then the question becomes WHEN did Jesus become God's ETERNAL Son?
Please read the three-part study called WHEN DID JESUS BECOME GOD’S ETERNAL SON? Part1
The main purpose of this study is to determine HOW the word of TRUTH, the WHOLE word of God teaches us that Jesus PREEXISTED?
There are several verses that SEEM to be saying that Jesus LITERALLY pre-existed as a literal separate person from Almighty God the Father.
And mainstream Orthodox Christianity dogmatically demands that “THEIR” way of interpreting those verses is the only way to correctly understand those verses of Scripture.
But I want to assure my readers and seekers of the truth that there are other ways to interpret all the verses that SEEM to be saying that Jesus literally pre-existed as a literal second divine eternal Spirit being who was with God at God’s side in the eternity past.
Here is the first verse with which we will begin this study in God's word to determine HOW Jesus PREEXISTED?
Hebrews 10:5.
“Wherefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body have you prepared me:”
Some Christians dogmatically demand that this verse means, without fail, that Jesus, as the SON OF Almighty God the Father, has always for all eternity PREEXISTED with Almighty God as the second person or a second divine being WITH God at God's side.
And this second person they call the DIVINE SON OF God who then descended down from heaven to DWELL in a human body that God PREPARED for His DIVINE SON to be CLOTHED upon with humanity.
And, therefore, to them, this means that the divine Son of God REMAINED to be the FULLY Almighty God and fully a man at the same time having TWO natures, one divine, and one human.
Now, the Oneness Pentecostal teaching is that HUMAN BODY of flesh was BORN of the Virgin Mary for HIMSELF to dwell in.
And Oneness Pentecostal Christians ALSO believe in the two natures of Jesus doctrine that was invented in the fourth century which has come to be known as the doctrine of the Deity of Jesus during the days of his FLESH.
In other words, they believe that Yahweh manifested HIMSELF a BODY to clothe Himself and thus remain the FULLY Almighty God clothed in a human BODY to be fully a man at the same time having TWO natures, one divine, and one human.
And for that reason of Yahweh supposedly preparing a body for HIMSELF, Jesus is NOT a separate being from the Father, according to THEM.
But the Scripture says that You have prepared a body for ME and NOT I have prepared a body for MYSELF.
So, one has to already believe in the Oneness Pentecostal doctrine and then read INTO the Scriptures their own preconceived belief.
And then, there are many Unitarian Christians like the Jehovah’s Witnesses and others who do not believe that Jesus is Almighty God Himself, but they do believe that Jesus PREEXISTED in eternity past HAVING a BEGINNING.
And yet, other Christians say NO! Jesus did NOT LITERALLY preexist as God's SON in the eternity past.
But rather, Jesus preexisted as the word, as in, the SPOKEN word of PROPHECY that was within Yahweh as His thoughts and plans which God spoke forth out from His mouth to bring forth into existence a HUMAN Son first.
And then the human Son of MAN, Jesus, was highly exalted to become a God AFTER the cross as the JOY set before him to endure the cross.
In other words, ALL these above INTERPRETATIONS except the last one dogmatically demand that the BODY that God PREPARED for His “divine Word person” or for His SON was a HUMAN BODY of FLESH and blood.
And THEY teach that the divine Word being, the pre-existing SON, or the co-eternal God the Son would inhabit or be clothed upon or be made to become FLESH.
And most of those views also teach that the pre-existing being REMAIN fully DIVINE at the SAME time having TWO natures and that this is the ONLY way that this verse can be INTERPRETED.
Now, AFTER being TAUGHT that the Trinitarian INTERPRETATION is, without fail, the ONLY possible meaning of his verse for so long, I can see why that this verse has so many different INTERPRETATIONS
On the SURFACE it SEEMS to be saying that at the TIME Jesus came into the world Almighty God prepared a human body of flesh for an already pre-existing DIVINE spirit being whether that SECOND Spirit being is called the Word or where this SECOND Spirit being is called the SON OF Almighty God the Father.
But is this truly what the WHOLE word of God teaches us?
You see my dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ, upon taking a closer look at the CONTEXT of this verse, I myself clearly see that this verse is speaking of Almighty God NOT being PLEASED with the Old Testament animal sacrifices that were offered over and over year after year.
In other words, to ME, it is quite clear that the BODY God prepared for His HUMAN Son, Jesus, is his NEW divine immortal glorified spiritual body of flesh and bone.
And that it was God's PLAN all along to reward His only FIRSTBORN SON Jesus with the divine nature of IMMORTALITY.
This was the JOY set before Jesus to endure the cross. Keep in mind that Jesus read the PROPHECIES that spoke of him after he already had a MORTAL body of flesh and blood.
Let us read Hebrew 10:5 again with the new GLORIFIED BODY in mind.
Hebrews 10:5.
“Wherefore, when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body have you prepared me:”
In other words, God never intended for the first Adam to sin.
According to Matthew 25:41, the everlasting fire was ONLY prepared for Satan, the Devil and the fallen angels that rebelled against God BEFORE God ever created Adam.
But God knowing His enemy Satan perceived that Lucifer, aka Satan, would interfere with God's test in the garden of Eden so God devised a PLAN of salvation which he kept secret from Satan.
With this in mind let us take a closer look at the phrase “BUT a BODY have You prepared for me.”
Now IF the Trinitarian interpretation that God prepared a human body for a literal pre-existing Jesus then would not that body have been a MORTAL body of FLESH and blood?
So, to me, if so be that Jesus literally preexisted, then the prophecy should have read but TWO bodies you have prepared for me, a human mortal body AND a divine immortal body.
Now, the context in the very verse itself is talking about the SACRIFICE at the end of the mortal human life of the Son of MAN, Jesus.
Keep in mind that SACRIFICE was ADDED and that God never intended for the first Adam to sin.
This is why the Bible says that God can NOT be tempted and neither does god TEMPT any man.
It is God's enemy, Satan, who is on TRIAL that does the tempting.
So again, to me, the obvious correct sound Biblical interpretation of Hebrews 10:5 is the new glorified immortal BODY that God prepared for the Son of MAN, Jesus.
Yes, I understand that it was the human mortal body of Jesus that was crucified on the cross as the SACRIFICE for the sins of the world.
I understand as well that God MADE or prepared that human body in the womb of the Virgin Mary, but keep in mind that Jesus was BORN to be made the King of Israel in the world to come for 1000 years.
Please read John 18:36.37.
“Jesus answered, My kingdom is NOT of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: (To be crucified or sacrificed on the cross) but now is my kingdom not from hence.
John 18:37. Pilate, therefore, said unto him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To this END was I BORN, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, (The Greek word translated as “came” also means and for this CAUSE of being BORN GO I into the world) THAT I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.
Now, in ONE sense God did prepare or CREATE a human body by His spoken WORD in the womb of the Virgin Mary.
But, IF it was just a BODY like the Oneness Pentecostal Christians wrongly teach, then Jesus would not TRULY be a SEPARATE person from the Father having his OWN WILL, according to Luke 22:42.
Rather, Jesus would have been DWELLING in that human body as the eternal God the Son who is SPIRIT.
And thus, Jesus would NOT truly be a SEPARATE person from the Father.
For you see, there is only ONE Spirit and it is Almighty God the Father who is that ONE eternal Spirit who ALONE has always possessed immortality in Himself.
And again, the human body is NOT the ONLY BODY that Jesus had.
You see, Jesus no longer has a MORTAL body that can DIE. God PREPARED for His human SON Jesus an IMMORTAL body of flesh and bone.
Again, please keep in mind the CONTEXT of this verse in question which is speaking of SACRIFICES to know and understand that Jesus did not receive his new glorified immortal body until AFTER the cross.
Also, please consider the ORDER in which the events of prophecy are given and fulfilled.
Please read Isaiah 9:6,7.
“For (Order of event #1 that has already been FULFILLED) unto us, a CHILD is BORN, (THEN comes Order of event #2 that has also already been FULFILLED) unto us a son is given: and (And THEN Order of event #3 is YET FUTURE and it is YET TO BE FULFILLED) the government shall be upon his shoulder: and (And THEN will come Order of event #4 is YET FUTURE and it is YET TO BE FULFILLED WHEN the government will be set upon the shoulder of Jesus IN the world to come) his NAME shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (And the human Jesus was GIVEN a NEW NAME after the cross that is higher than any other name so that AT the NAME every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord TO the glory OF Almighty God the Father)
Isaiah 9:7. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”
So then, according to God’s word of prophecy a HUMAN CHILD would be born FIRST and THEN the human Son of MAN would be given to suffer and die on the cross.
Then, at the second coming of Jesus the highly exalted Son of Man, Jesus, will rule FOR Yahweh for 1000 years as the God of the whole earth while his God and Father will take His seventh 1000 year-long day of His Sabbath rest.
And it is Yahweh Himself who PERFORMS His own prophesied word to bring it to pass. Here is how the order of events was fulfilled.
In the fullness of the time when Jesus, the only or uniquely BEGOTTEN SON OF MAN having NO earthly father, grew to adult manhood to be called the Son of MAN, then God sent down His OWN eternal Holy Spirit to DWELL IN His human SON Jesus to EMPOWER the Son of MAN, Jesus.
This is literally what the Bible itself means when it says God SENT His Son into the world. God sent the ANOINTED Son of MAN with power from on high out into the world.
And after the anointed Son of man, Jesus, became obedient to do all the Will of HIS God and Father even to suffer and die a cruel and brutal death on the cross for the sins of the whole world, THEN his God and Father GAVE him the divine nature of immortality to be having in himself even as the Father has always possessed immortality in himself as the source of all life.
So then, after God ANOINTED His Son Jesus with power from on high where Almighty God the Father, who is the eternal Spirit, began to DWELL IN Jesus, then God sent His SON Jesus OUT INTO the world to preach the gospel and do all the Will of the Father ending with Jesus being crucified on the cross for the sins of the whole world.
And then Almighty God raised his SON from the dead and GAVE to the Son of MAN a NEW GLORIFIED IMMORTAL BODY that He had PREPARED for His SON Jesus even before that foundation of the world in his mind and plan to one day have a Son to SHARE His glory and His kingdom.
This is what brought Yahweh pleasure.
Once again, after seeing and understanding the CONTEXT, which clearly shows us that the reason that the uniquely begotten Son of MAN came into the world was to be a PLEASING sacrifice that would END all sacrifices for sin once and for all time, then the BODY that was PREPARED for Jesus was his NEW GLORIFIED IMMORTAL SPIRITUAL BODY of flesh and bone that was NOT a corruptible body of flesh that God prepared for a LITERAL preexisting Son as some have falsely concluded that this verse means.
In other words, Almighty God NO LONGER ACCEPTS the animal sacrifices, but rather, God ONLY ACCEPTS the sacrifice that His human Son Jesus made or offered to his god and Father of his OWN free Will through the power of the Eternal Spirit dwelling in him as an ATONEMENT for the sins of the whole world.
The Lamb was slain BEFORE the foundation of the world but we all know and agree that Jesus was not LITERALLY slain BEFORE mankind was ever created.
God wanted or CHOSE to have a RIGHTEOUS Son who would NOT rebel against Him as Lucifer did. God desired to have a Son He could TRUST to rule FOR Him.
And God was so pleased with His beloved Son that He taught morning by morning as a young child that He knew that His human Son would become obedient to do all His Will, even unto death on the cross that He rewarded His Son with the divine nature of IMMORTALITY.
And this JOY of being given eternal life and to rule a Lord and King in the world to come was SET before Jesus to ENDURE the cross.
To say this another way, the BODY that was PREPARED for Jesus was an IMMORTAL BODY as a REWARD for His human SON Jesus doing ALL the Will of his God and Father.
Again, this was the JOY set before Jesus to endure the cross, which Hebrews 12:2 teaches us.
Hebrews 12:2.
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who FOR the JOY that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
You see my dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Greek word that is TRANSLATED as “PREPARED” is “KATARTIZO”, which means TO RESTORE, put in order, to mend, to make complete, to prepare, to ORDAIN, perfect and to make perfect.
And the ONLY time this Greek word is TRANSLATED as prepared is in this one verse of Hebrews 10:5.
So, all you have to do is be HONEST with yourself to admit that the HUMAN body that some CLAIM to be the body that God prepared for his already LITERAL preexisting Son Jesus was NOT a PERFECT body.
In other words, the full meaning of this Greek word does NOT fit with a PERISHABLE HUMAN BODY of mere MORTAL FLESH as Jesus had during the days of his FLESH as the body God prepared for a so-called pre-existing Jesus.
But the meaning of this word does indeed fit the human body of Jesus being CHANGED and GLORIFIED to be made PERFECT and IMMORTAL.
So again, one more time, Hebrews 10:5 is speaking of the new GLORIFIED IMMORTAL BODY that God PREPARED or MADE PERFECT for His human SON Jesus.
Also, please take note of the conjunction BUT, which also means MOREOVER, as in, moreover or BESIDES a future preparing of a BETTER body is waiting for the Son of MAN, a new body that is MADE PERFECT just like the Greek word “KATARTIZO” means that is translated as prepared in the KJV Bible.
In other words, the CONTEXT of this verse teaches us that with the animal sacrifices God was NOT PLEASED. They were added because of transgressions UNTIL the Messiah came.
To say this another way, Jesus was simply saying, “BUT you O God will be or are SATISFIED with me, your elect whom You have chosen as your sacrifice.
And, therefore, or MOREOVER you have PREPARED ME a BODY, speaking of a new glorified IMMORTAL body!”
Please keep in mind that Jesus ENDURED the cross, BECAUSE of the JOY that was SET BEFORE him.
Hebrews 12:1-4.
“Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Hebrews 12:2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who FOR (Or BECAUSE OF) the JOY that was SET BEFORE him, ENDURED the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:3. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
Hebrews 12:4. You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.”
Jesus knew that the Scriptures spoke of him. And the very CONTEXT of Hebrews 10:5 teaches us in verse 7 that Jesus came as prophesied in the Scriptures.
Hebrews 10:7.
“Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of ME,) to do YOUR will, O God.”
Again, Jesus, the Son of MAN, knew that the Scriptures spoke of him and thus Jesus knew that it was needed for the Son of MAN to suffer and die for the sins of the people.
And Jesus knew that he would dwell in the house of the Lord forever AFTER going through the valley of the shadow of death. But yet he SUFFERED being TEMPTED.
Jesus knew of the yet COMING JOY being in the house of God forever with his God and Father so he ENDURED the cross of shame to be the PLEASING and ACCEPTABLE sacrifice for sins that would satisfy his God and Father.
Please read Isaiah 53:10-12 from the New Living Translation.
“But it was the LORD'S good PLAN to crush him and fill him with grief. Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have a multitude of children, many heirs. (Jesus knew that the Scriptures spoke of HIM. Jesus knew from the Scriptures that he would BECOME the father of everlasting life.
Jesus knew that Almighty God the Father would COMMIT this authority to give eternal life to his faithful brethren to be joint-heirs with him. Praise the Lord!) He will enjoy a long life, (Speaking of ETERNAL LIFE. Jesus knew that the scripture promised him eternal life for obeying his God and Father to do all his will. In John 5:26,27 we learn that Jesus is GIVEN IMMORTALITY by his God and Father) and the LORD'S PLAN will prosper in his hands. (Jesus knew the PLAN of his God and Father from the Scriptures that spoke of him.
Jesus knew that this was God's PLAN from before the foundation of the world. To ME, this is HOW Jesus PREEXISTED. I myself believe that Jesus pre-existed only in the MIND and PLAN of Almighty God to ONE DAY bring FORTH a SON who would be His LAMB to redeem mankind back to Himself.
And as a REWARD for His human Son, God SET this great JOY of partaking of the DIVINE NATURE of IMMORTALITY before His Son, Jesus, for becoming obedient to endure a cruel death on the cross as the atonement for the sins of the whole world.
The word of God teaches us that Jesus was TAUGHT morning by morning and that he INCREASED in wisdom, understanding, and favor with God as he grew in physical stature)
Isaiah 53:11. When He (Almighty God the Father) SEES all that is accomplished by his anguish, He (Almighty God the Father) will be SATISFIED. And because of what he has experienced, my righteous servant will make it possible for many to be counted righteous, for he will bear all their sins.
Isaiah 53:12. I will GIVE him the HONORS of one who is mighty and great BECAUSE he exposed himself to death. He was counted among those who were sinners. He bore the sins of many and interceded for sinners.”
Philippians 2:8-11 teaches us that Jesus was HIGHLY EXALTED for the very reason OF being that good and faithful servant of God to become obedient unto death on the cross.
Please notice that it was only AFTER Jesus became obedient unto death on the cross that his God and Father HIGHLY EXALTED His SON Jesus to become a God to rule and reign in his Father’s kingdom at his Father’s right hand on his Father's throne.
Philippians 2:8-11.
“And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Philippians 2:9. Wherefore (Or for this very REASON of becoming obedient to endure the cross) God also has HIGHLY EXALTED him, and given him a NAME which is above every name:
Philippians 2:10. That at the NAME of Jesus (Speaking of Jesus’ NEW NAME) every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; (Speaking of in the world to come.
Yes, demons flee and the mere mention of the name of Jesus but the context of this verse is referring to the 1000 year reign of Jesus in the world to come)
Philippians 2:11. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, TO the glory OF God the Father.”
So, in the LIGHT of the whole word of Almighty God, I myself have concluded that the BODY that was prepared for Jesus was his NEW GLORIFIED IMMORTAL BODY of flesh and bone,
And, therefore, for ME, this verse in Hebrews 10:5 where God PREPARED a BODY for Jesus does NOT prove, without fail, that Jesus pre-existed for all eternity without beginning as God the SON, the second person of the so-called Trinity Godhead.
For the true SOUND Biblical meaning of the word Godhead and Jesus supposedly being the fulness of the Godhead manifest in the flesh please read the study WHAT DOES COLOSSIANS 2:9 TRULY MEAN
Please keep in mind that I am NOT saying that Jesus did NOT preexist at all.
But what I am saying is that this particular verse in Hebrews 10:5 does NOT PROVE, without fail, that Jesus preexisted as GOD the SON, the SECOND PERSON of the Trinity as some dogmatically DEMAND that this is what this means.
I am also saying that Jesus did not preexist as the SON of God in the eternity past.
And I am saying that the word in John 1:1 that was with God in the beginning is NOT a pre-existing divine eternal being who was with God at God's side in the eternity past.
But rather, I personally believe that Jesus preexisted only around 6000 years ago WITHIN Yahweh as His secret plan of salvation.
For you see, to me, I am seeing that the Genesis account of creation is actually God “RESTORING” the earth after it BECAME void and empty during the Luciferian flood to bring the WAR between Lucifer and his army of the fallen angel making war against God’s throne.
Please read all the studies under the heading ** WHY ARE WE HERE-IS GOD AT WAR? **
Below is a list of all the verses used to try and prove that Jesus literally preexisted in the eternity past as a literal eternal divine separate being who was with Yahweh at Yahweh’s side.
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.

WHAT DOES HEBREWS 10:5 TRULY MEAN?
“A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME”
Does Hebrews 10:5 prove that Jesus PREEXISTED?
Does Hebrews 10:5 that refers to God preparing Jesus a BODY PROVE that Jesus pre-existed? And what I mean by Jesus preexisting is, does ANY verse in the entire Bible prove, without a doubt, that Jesus preexisted as the ETERNAL DIVINE SON OF Almighty God the Father in the eternity past without ever having a beginning?. Trinitarian Christians dogmatically demand that Jesus pre-existed as the eternal God the SON, the second divine being of the TRINITY Godhead who has ALWAYS existed WITH God the Father at God’s side. And, therefore, the THEM, Jesus is the ETERNAL SON of God WITHOUT ever having neither a BEGINNING nor ENDING. Other Christians argue that Jesus did indeed have a BEGINNING but his beginning was in eternity past. Some say God created a Spirit being named the Word and that this so-called divine Word person created everything else. And then the divine separate Spirit being named the Word came down out of heaven to become the Son of God.
As I have already said many times in other studies, I believe that the Bible itself teaches us that Jesus preexisted WITHIN the ONE God Yahweh HIMSELF who alone is the one true God in ONE person. And more precisely, I believe that Jesus preexisted as the IMAGE that Yahweh had WITHIN Himself to one day bring forth into existence a HUMAN Son first and then after the cross highly exalt Jesus as Lord and God to replace Lucifer as the caretaker or the God of the earth. To say this another way, I believe that the WHOLE word of God teaches us that Jesus only preexisted WITHIN the MIND of God as Yahweh's thoughts and plans to one day bring forth His Son into existence as God's secret PLAN of salvation to redeem the human race back to Himself. So to me, the BODY that Yahweh prepared for His Son is Jesus' NEW GLORIFIED immortal body the he received AFTER the cross.
Take a moment to consider God doing NEW THINGS that he has never done before and that one of these NEW things was God bringing forth into existence His SON Jesus. Please read Isaiah 42:1-9 which is a PROPHECY of Jesus as the coming Messiah. And Remember that Jesus said the Scripture testified of him. All his members were written or prophesied in the Scriptures, according to Psalm 139:16. let us go ahead and read Psalm 139:13-16 first and then we will read Isaiah 42:1-9 concerning God prophesying NEW things that He will do in the future from the time He prophesied those new things to come into existence before He performed His word to bring them to pass.
Psalm 149:13-16.
“For You have possessed my reins: You have covered me in my mother's womb.
14. I will praise You; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are YOUR works; and that my soul knows right well.
15. My substance was not hid from You, when I was made in secret, and (When I was) curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. (Speaking of the Son of MAN being curiously wrought in Hell or in the belly of the earth after he was crucified)
16. Your eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; AND in Your book (Speaking of the prophecies in the Scriptures, the Holy Bible) all my members were written, which in continuance were FASHIONED, when as yet there was NONE of them.”
So as you can plainly see, Jesus did not yet exist until Almighty God CREATED him in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Jesus was one of God's NEW things that Yahweh prophesied into existence. Now let us read Isaiah 42:1-9.
Isaiah 42:1-9.
“Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit upon him: (Referring to the Holy Spiirt coming down like a dove and resting or remaining on Jesus at his baptism. That was when God came to DWELL in His human Son Jesus, ANOINTING him with the Holy Spirit and POWER from on high. Jesus was MADE both Lord and the Christ by his God and Father, according to Acts 2:36) he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. (All power and authority to judge was COMMITTED Jesus after the cross which was when he was MADE Lord by his God and Father crowning him with glory. This was revealed to Jesus before the cross which is why Jesus prophesied God's word saying that he is the Lord of the SABBATH which is speaking of the 1000 year long Sabbath rest of Yahweh the Father. Jesus was BORN to be made King of Israel for 1000 years in the world yet to come)
2. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he has set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
5. Thus says God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which comes out of it; he that gives breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
6. I the LORD have called YOU in righteousness, and will hold YOUR hand, and will keep YOU, and give YOU for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7. To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8. I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. (In other words, Yahweh is saying that he will share his glory with ONLY his ELECT one whom He Himself ANOINTED at the baptism of the Son of MAN, Jesus. So this verse is NOT saying that Yahweh will never share His glory with anyone. But rather, it is saying that He will not share His glory with anyone EXCEPT for His ELECT. And that means Jesus, His Messiah AND those of us who are created IN Jesus Christ as NEW CREATURES)
9. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and NEW THINGS do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
Now again, one of the FORMER things was that there was only ONE God in ONE person who did not share His glory with anyone in the Old Testament times. But then Yahweh prophesied that He would bring that old thing of not sharing His glory to pass away or come to an end. There was no other God or Gods in the OLD Testament that ruled FOR Yahweh, as in, being second in command having being given ALL power and authority as Yahweh gave to Jesus. However, some of the angels were called Elohim which in translated as gods which Yahweh Himself SET to be gods under Himself to rule parts of His kingdom as caretakers FOR Yahweh. And im Isaiah 42:9, God is prophesying of doing NEW THINGS on the earth. And one of those NEW things was to have a SON to INHERIT the worlds to come. Once you see that Jesus is NOT the ALMIGHTY Himself who alone is the FATHER and that Jesus was MADE Lord and God after the cross then it will be easier to see that Jesus did indeed have a beginning and that he was NOT co-eternal with the Father in the eternity past. So then the question becomes WHEN did Jesus become God's ETERNAL Son? Please read the three-part study called “WHEN DID JESUS BECOME GOD’S ETERNAL SON? 1”
The main purpose of this study is to determine HOW the word of TRUTH, the WHOLE word of God teaches us that Jesus PREEXISTED? There are several verses that SEEM to be saying that Jesus LITERALLY pre-existed as a literal separate person from Almighty God the Father. And mainstream Orthodox Christianity dogmatically demands that “THEIR” way of interpreting those verses is the only way to correctly understand those verses of Scripture. But I want to assure my readers and seekers of the truth that there are other ways to interpret all the verses that SEEM to be saying that Jesus literally pre-existed as a literal second divine eternal Spirit being who was with God at God’s side in eternity past. Here is the first verse with which we will begin this study in God's word to determine HOW Jesus PREEXISTED?
Hebrews 10:5.
“Wherefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body have you prepared me:”
Some Christians dogmatically demand that this verse means, without fail, that Jesus, as the SON OF Almighty God the Father, has always for all eternity PREEXISTED with Almighty God as the second person or a second divine being WITH God at God's side. And this second person they call the DIVINE SON OF God who then descended down from heaven to DWELL in a human body that God PREPARED for His DIVINE SON to be CLOTHED upon with humanity. And, therefore, to them, this means that the divine Son of God REMAINED to be the FULLY Almighty God and fully a man at the same time having TWO natures, one divine, and one human.
Now, the Oneness Pentecostal teaching is that HUMAN BODY of flesh was BORN of the Virgin Mary for HIMSELF to dwell in. And Oneness Pentecostal Christians ALSO believe in the two natures of Jesus doctrine that was invented in the fourth century which has been come to be know as the doctrine of the Deity of Jesus during the days of his FLESH. In other words, they believe that Yahweh manifested HIMSELF a BODY to clothe Himself and thus remain the FULLY Almighty God clothed in a human BODY to be fully a man at the same time having TWO natures, one divine, and one human. And for that reason of Yahweh supposedly preparing a body for HIMSELF, Jesus is NOT a separate being from the Father, according to THEM. But the Scripture says the You have prepared a body for ME and NOT I have prepared a body for MYSELF. So one has to already believe in the Oneness Pentecostal doctrine and then read INTO the Scriptures their own preconceived belief.
And then, there are many Unitarian Christians like the Jehovah’s Witnesses and others who do not believe that Jesus is Almighty God Himself but they do believe that Jesus PREEXISTED in eternity past HAVING a BEGINNING.
And yet other Christians say NO! Jesus did NOT LITERALLY preexist as God's SON in eternity past. But rather, Jesus preexisted as the Word, as in, the SPOKEN word of PROPHECY that was within Yahweh as His thoughts and plans which God spoke forth out from His mouth to bring forth into existence a HUMAN Son first. And then the human Son of MAN, Jesus, was highly exalted to become a God AFTER the cross as the JOY set before him to endure the cross.
In other words, ALL these above INTERPRETATIONS except the last one dogmatically demand that the BODY that God PREPARED for His divine Word person or for his SON was a HUMAN BODY of FLESH and blood that the Word or the SON would inhabit or be clothed upon or be made to become FLESH, but yet REMAIN fully DIVINE at the SAME time having TWO natures and that this is the ONLY way that this verse can be INTERPRETED.
Now AFTER being TAUGHT that this INTERPRETATION is without fail the ONLY possible meaning of his verse for so long, I agree and can see why that this verse SEEMS to be saying that at the TIME Jesus came into the world Almighty God prepared a human body of flesh for an already preexisting DIVINE spirit being whether that SECOND Spirit being is called the Word or where this SECOND Spirit being is called the SON OF Almighty God the Father.
But is this truly what the WHOLE word of God teaches us? You see my dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ, upon taking a closer look at the CONTEXT of this verse I myself clearly see that this verse is speaking of Almighty God NOT being PLEASED with the Old Testament animal sacrifices that were offered over and over year after year.
In other words, to ME, it is quite clear that the BODY God prepared for his Son Jesus is his NEW divine immortal glorified spiritual body of flesh and bone. And that it was God's PLAN all along to reward his only BEGOTTEN SON Jesus with the divine nature of IMMORTALITY. This was the JOY set before Jesus to endure the cross. Keep in mind that Jesus read the PROPHECIES that spoke of him after he already had a MORTAL body of flesh and blood. Let us read Hebrew 10:5 again.
Hebrews 10:5.
“Wherefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body have you prepared me:”
In other words, God never intended for the first Adam to sin. According to Matthew 25:41, the everlasting fire was ONLY prepared for Satan, the Devil and the fallen angels that rebelled against God BEFORE God ever created Adam. But God knowing His enemy Satan perceived that Lucifer, aka Satan, word interfere with God's test in the garden of Eden so God devised a PLAN of salvation which he kept secret form Satan. With this in mind let us take a closer look at the phrase “BUT a BODY have You prepared for me.” Now IF the Trinitarian interpretation that God prepared a human bodyfor a literal pre-existing Jesus then would not that body have been be a MORTAL body of FLESH and blood? So to me, if so be that Jesus literally preexisted then the prophecy should have read but two bodies you have prepared for me a human mortal body AND a divine immortal body. Now, the context in the very verse itself is talking about the SACRIFICE at the end of the mortal human life of the Son of MAN, Jesus. Keep in mind that SACRIFICE was ADDED and that God never intended of the first Adam to sin. This is why the Bible says that God can NOT be tempted and neither does god TEMPT any man. It is god's enemy Satan who is on TRIAL that does the tempting. So again, to me, the obvious correct sound Biblical interpretation of Hebrews 10:5 is the new glorified immortal BODY that God prepared for the Son of MAN, Jesus. Yes, I understand that it was the human mortal body of Jesus that was crucified on the cross as the SACRIFICE for the sins of the world. I understand as well that God MADE or prepared that human body in the womb of the Virgin Mary, but keep in mind that Jesus was BORN to be made the King of Israel in the world to come for 1000 years.
Please read John 18:36.37.
Jesus answered, My kingdom is NOT of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: (To be crucified or scrificed on the cross) but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37. Pilate, therefore, said unto him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To this END was I BORN, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.
Now, in ONE sense God did prepare or CREATE a human body by His spoken WORD in the womb of the Virgin Mary but IF it was just a BODY like the Oneness Pentecostal Christians wrongly teach, then Jesus would not TRULY be a SEPARATE. Rather, Jesus would have been DWELLING in that human body as the eternal God the Son who is SPIRIT. And thus, Jesus would NOT truly be a SEPARATE person from the Father. For you see, there is only ONE Spirit and it is Almighty God the Father who is that ONE eternal Spirit who ALONE has always possessed immortality in Himself. And again, the human body is NOT the ONLY BODY that Jesus had. You see, Jesus no longer has a MORTAL body that can DIE. God PREPARED for His human SON Jesus an IMMORTAL body of flesh and bone. Again, please keep in mind the CONTEXT of this verse in question which is speaking of SACRIFICES to know and understand that Jesus did not receive his new glorified immortal body until AFTER the cross. Also, please consider the ORDER in which the events of prophecy are given and fulfilled.
Please read Isaiah 9:6,7.
“For (Order of event #1 that has already been FULFILLED) unto us, a CHILD is BORN, (THEN comes Order of event #2 that has also already been FULFILLED) unto us a son is given: and (And THEN Order of event #3 is YET FUTURE and it is YET TO BE FULFILLED) the government shall be upon his shoulder: and (And THEN will come Order of event #4 is YET FUTURE and it is YET TO BE FULFILLED WHEN the government will be set upon the shoulder of Jesus IN the world to come) his NAME shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (And the human Jesus was GIVEN a NEW NAME after the cross that is higher than any other name so that AT the NAME every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord TO the glory OF Almighty God the Father)
I7. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”
So then, according to God’s word of prophecy a HUMAN CHILD would be born FIRST and THEN the human Son of MAN would be given to suffer and die on the cross. Then at the second coming of Jesus the highly exalted Son of Man, Jesus, will rule FOR Yahweh for 1000 years as the God of the whole earth while his God and Father will take His seventh 1000 year-long day of His Sabbath rest. And it is Yahweh Himself who PERFORMS His own prophesied word to bring it to pass. Here is how the order of events was fulfilled.
In the fullness of the time when Jesus, the only or uniquely BEGOTTEN SON OF MAN having NO earthly father, grew to adult manhood to be called the Son of MAN then God sent down His OWN eternal Holy Spirit to DWELL IN His human SON Jesus to EMPOWER the Son of MAN, Jesus. This is literally what the Bible itself means when it says God SENT His Son into the world. God sent the ANOINTED Son of MAN with power from on high out into the world. And after the anointed Son of man, Jesus, became obedient to do all the Will of HIS God and Father even to suffer and die a cruel and brutal death on the cross for the sins of the whole world, THEN his God and Father GAVE him the divine nature of immortality to be having in himself even as the Father has always possessed immortality in himself as the source of all life.
So then after God ANOINTED His Son Jesus with power from on high where Almighty God the Father, who is the eternal Spirit, began to DWELL IN Jesus, then God sent His SON Jesus OUT INTO the world to preach the gospel and do all the Will of the Father ending with Jesus being crucified on the cross for the sins of the whole world.
And then Almighty God raised his SON from the dead and GAVE to the Son of MAN a NEW GLORIFIED IMMORTAL BODY that he had PREPARED for his SON Jesus even before that foundation of the world in his mind and plan to one day have a Son to SHARE his glory and his kingdom. This is what brought Yahweh pleasure.
Once again, after seeing and understanding the CONTEXT, which clearly shows us that the reason that the uniquely begotten Son of MAN came into the world was to be a PLEASING sacrifice that would END all sacrifices for sin once and for all time, then the BODY that was PREPARED for Jesus was his NEW GLORIFIED IMMORTAL SPIRITUAL BODY of flesh and bone that was NOT a corruptible body of flesh that God prepared for a LITERAL preexisting Son as some have falsely concluded that this verse means.
In other words, Almighty God NO LONGER ACCEPTS the animal sacrifices, but rather, God ONLY ACCEPTS the sacrifice that His human Son Jesus made or offered to his god and Father of his OWN free Will through the power of the Eternal Spirit dwelling in him as an ATONEMENT for the sins of the whole world. The Lamb was slain BEFORE the foundation of the world but we all know and agree that Jesus was not LITERALLY slain BEFORE mankind was ever created.
God wanted or CHOSE to have a RIGHTEOUS Son who would NOT rebel against Him as Lucifer did. God desired to have a Son He could TRUST to rule FOR Him. And God was so pleased with His beloved Son that He taught morning by morning as a young child that He knew that His human Son would become obedient to do all His Will, even unto death on the cross that He rewarded His Son with the divine nature of IMMORTALITY. And this JOY of being given eternal life and to rule a Lord and King in the world to come was SET before Jesus to ENDURE the cross. To say this another way, the BODY that was PREPARED for Jesus was an IMMORTAL BODY as a REWARD for His human SON Jesus doing ALL the Will of his God and Father. Again, this was the JOY set before Jesus to endure the cross, which Hebrews 12:2 teaches us.
Hebrews 12:2.
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who FOR the JOY that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
You see my dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Greek word that is TRANSLATED as “PREPARED” is “KATARTIZO”, which means TO RESTORE, put in order, to mend, to make complete, to prepare, to ORDAIN, perfect and to make perfect. And the ONLY time this Greek word is TRANSLATED as prepared is in this one verse of Hebrews 10:5.
So all you have to do is be HONEST with yourself to admit that the HUMAN body that some CLAIM to be the body that God prepared for his already LITERAL preexisting Son Jesus was NOT a PERFECT body. In other words, the full meaning of this Greek word does NOT fit with a PERISHABLE HUMAN BODY of mere MORTAL FLESH as Jesus had during the days of his FLESH as the body God prepared for a so-called pre-existing Jesus. But the meaning of this word does indeed fit the human body of Jesus being CHANGED and GLORIFIED to be made PERFECT and IMMORTAL.
So again, one more time, Hebrews 10:5 is speaking of the new GLORIFIED IMMORTAL BODY that God PREPARED or MADE PERFECT for His human SON Jesus.
Also, please take note of the conjunction BUT, which also means MOREOVER, as in, moreover or BESIDES a future preparing of a BETTER body is waiting for the Son of MAN, a new body that is MADE PERFECT just like the Greek word “KATARTIZO” means that is translated as prepared in the KJV Bible. In other words, the CONTEXT of this verse teaches us that with the animal sacrifices God was NOT PLEASED. They were added because of transgressions UNTIL the Messiah came. To say this another way, Jesus was simply saying, “BUT you O God will be or are SATISFIED with me, your elect whom You have chosen as your sacrifice. And, therefore, or MOREOVER you have PREPARED ME a BODY, speaking of a new glorified IMMORTAL body!” Please keep in mind that Jesus ENDURED the cross, BECAUSE of the JOY that was SET BEFORE him.
Hebrews 12:1-4.
“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who FOR (Or BECAUSE OF) the JOY that was SET BEFORE him, ENDURED the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
4. You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.”
Jesus knew that the Scriptures spoke of him. And the very CONTEXT of Hebrews 10:5 teaches us in verse 7 that Jesus came as prophesied in the Scriptures.
Hebrews 10:7.
“Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of ME,) to do YOUR will, O God.”
Again, Jesus, the Son of MAN, knew that the Scriptures spoke of him and thus Jesus knew that it was needed for the Son of MAN to suffer and die for the sins of the people. And Jesus knew that he would dwell in the house of the Lord forever AFTER going through the valley of the shadow of death. But yet he SUFFERED being TEMPTED. Jesus knew of the yet COMING JOY being in the house of God forever with his God and Father so he ENDURED the cross of shame to be the PLEASING and ACCEPTABLE sacrifice for sins that would satisfy his God and Father.
Please read Isaiah 53:10-12 from the New Living Translation.
“But it was the LORD'S good PLAN to crush him and fill him with grief. Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have a multitude of children, many heirs. (Jesus knew that the Scriptures spoke of HIM. Jesus knew from the Scriptures that he would BECOME the father of everlasting life. Jesus knew that Almighty God the Father would COMMIT this authority to give eternal life to his faithful brethren to be joint-heirs with him. Praise the Lord!) He will enjoy a long life, (Speaking of ETERNAL LIFE. Jesus knew that the scripture promised him eternal life for obeying his God and Father to do all his will. In John 5:26,27 we learn that Jesus is GIVEN IMMORTALITY by his God and Father) and the LORD'S PLAN will prosper in his hands. (Jesus knew the PLAN of his God and Father from the Scriptures that spoke of him. Jesus knew that this was God's PLAN from before the foundation of the world. To ME, this is HOW Jesus PREEXISTED. I myself believe that Jesus preexisted only in the MIND and PLAN of Almighty God to ONE DAY bring FORTH a SON who would be His LAMB to redeem mankind back to Himself. And as a REWARD for His human Son, God SET this great JOY of partaking of the DIVINE NATURE of IMMORTALITY before His Son, Jesus, for becoming obedient to endure a cruel death on the cross as the atonement for the sins of the whole world. The word of God teaches us that Jesus was TAUGHT morning by morning and that he INCREASED in wisdom, understanding, and favor with God as he grew in physical stature)
11. When He (Almighty God the Father) SEES all that is accomplished by his anguish, He (Almighty God the Father) will be SATISFIED. And because of what he has experienced, my righteous servant will make it possible for many to be counted righteous, for he will bear all their sins.
12. I will GIVE him the HONORS of one who is mighty and great BECAUSE he exposed himself to death. He was counted among those who were sinners. He bore the sins of many and interceded for sinners.”
Philippians 2:8-11 teaches us that Jesus was HIGHLY EXALTED for the very reason OF being that good and faithful servant of God to become obedient unto death on the cross. Please notice that it was only AFTER Jesus became obedient unto death on the cross that his God and Father HIGHLY EXALTED His SON Jesus to become a God to rule and reign in his Father's kingdom at his Father's right hand on his Father's throne.
Philippians 2:8-11.
“And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9. Wherefore (Or for this very REASON of becoming obedient to endure the cross) God also has HIGHLY EXALTED him, and given him a NAME which is above every name:
10. That at the NAME of Jesus (Speaking of Jesus’ NEW NAME) every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; (Speaking of in the world to come. Yes, demons flee and the mere mention of the name of Jesus but the context of this verse is referring to the 1000 year reign of Jesus in the world to come)
11. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, TO the glory OF God the Father.”
So in the LIGHT of the whole word of Almighty God, I myself have concluded that the BODY that was prepared for Jesus was his NEW GLORIFIED IMMORTAL BODY of flesh and bone, and therefore for ME, this verse in Hebrews 10:5 where God PREPARED a BODY for Jesus does NOT prove, without fail, that Jesus pre-existed for all eternity without beginning as God the SON, the second person of the so-called Trinity Godhead. For the true SOUND Biblical meaning of the word Godhead and Jesus supposedly being the fulness of the Godhead manifest in the flesh please read the study “WHAT DOES COLOSSIANS 2:9 TRULY MEAN?
Please keep in mind that I am NOT saying that Jesus did NOT preexist at all.
But what I am saying is that this particular verse in Hebrews 10:5 does NOT PROVE, without fail, that Jesus preexisted as GOD the SON, the SECOND PERSON of the Trinity as some dogmatically DEMAND that this is what this means. I am also saying that Jesus did not preexist as the SON of God in the eternity past. And I am saying that the word in John 1:1 that was with god in the beginnings is NOT a preexisting divine eternal being who was with God at God's side in the eternity past. But rather, I personally believe that Jesus preexisted only around 6000 years ago WITHIN Yahweh as His secret plan of salvation. For you see, to me, I am seeing that the Genesis account of creation is actually God “RESTORING” the earth after it BECAME void and empty during the Luciferian flood to bring the WAR between Lucifer and his army of the fallen angel making war against God’s throne. Please read all the studied under the heading >>>WHY ARE WE HERE-IS GOD AT WAR?<<< Below is a list of all the verses used to try and proved that Jesus literally preexisted in eternity past as a literal eternal divine separate being who was with Yahweh at Yahweh’s side.
Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
For a deeper understanding of this WAR that Lucifer and one third of the angels waged against the throne of Almighty God, please read the studies under the subject category called ** Q-0 Why Are We Here? Is God at WAR? **.

My heartfelt prayer is that all Christians RETURN to the TRUE FOUNDATION of the church that is taught by the very Apostles of Jesus in the first century.
So let us all come into the UNITY of the faith and return to what Jesus and his Apostles taught us in SIMPLICITY in the New Testament.
