Z-20. Are the Angels the Sons of God?

In the Bible we find two phrases, “the sons of God” and “the sons of men”.

So then, according to the Bible ITSELF, who are the “the sons of God” and “the sons of men”.

Well, according to the whole word of Almighty God, both phrases refer to BOTH the angelic beings called the sons of God in Genesis 6:2, AND the sons of Adam, according to Luke 3:38.

In other words, all Christians agree that we are the children of men who became the children of God when we received Jesus as our Savior to be born or God, according to John 1:12.

Let us go ahead and read that verse of Scripture.

John 1:12.

“But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:”

Please know and understand that every baby that is born is born as a pure innocent child of God.

Therefore, we are all BORN as children of God. But after a person reaches an age of accountability and they sin, they fall short of the GLORY that God intended and desires for all humans to receive.

Thus, all unsaved adult humans are under sin and must be born-again to enter into the kingdom of God.

So then, according to 1 John 3:2, NOW are we the sons of God, but it does not yet appear what we shall be.

We know that we shall be like Jesus at His coming for we shall see Him as He is.

And what that verse means is that we have not yet received the manifestation of the sons of God, according to Romans 8:19.

In other words, we are waiting to receive our new glorified immortal bodies like God gave to Jesus after God raised Him from the dead.

Please read the study G-22. WAS JESUS RESURRECTED as a SPIRIT?

Also, please read G-23. Our Literal Bodily Resurrection!

So, then all humans are BORN as the sons of men and as the sons of God. And in a similar manner, the angels are called BOTH the sons of men and the sons of God. Let me explain what I mean by this a little further by explaining that in the Old Testament there are two different Hebrew words that are “translated” as men.

Now, from my understanding, the Hebrew word “Adam”, Strong’s number H120, always refers to mortal human beings, the offspring of Adam and Eve, according to Luke 3:38 and Acts 17:26.

Here is one of many examples showing that the Hebrew word “Adam” means the sons of men who inhabit the earth.

Psalm 33:11-14.

“The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.

Psalm 33:12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

Psalm 33:13. The LORD looks from heaven; He beholds ALL the sons of men. (H120 the Hebrew word Adam.

Also, the word “ALL” here in verse 13 is referring to the righteous humans in Jesus Christ.

In other words, a more correct translation would be Yahweh MARKS all of the Aleph Tav sons of men.

For you see, the Hebrew word that is translated as “beholds” also means to MARK as His own.

And the two Hebrew letters, the Aleph and the Tav are NOT translated)

Psalm 33:14. From the place of His habitation He looks upon ALL the inhabitants of the earth.”

The word “ALL” in verse 14 is referring to all of the sons of men of the offspring of Adam and Eve, both righteous and unrighteous.

Now, the other Hebrew word “translated” as men is “iysh” Strong’s number H376, pronounced as “eesh”. And from my understanding, this Hebrew word translated as “men” can refer to BOTH the angels and the sons of Adam depending on the context. In other words, the angels are called the sons of men because they existed during the previous age of the earth.

And the human inhabitants of the earth are called the sons of men, because we inhabit this present age or this present world. Thus, the Hebrew word “iysh” translated as “man” and as “men” can refer to either the angels or to human beings, depending on the context. But to my knowledge, the angels are never called the sons of Adam, Strong’s number H120.

So then, what is the DIFFERENCE between the angels and human beings? Well, according to Psalm 8:1-6, God made MAN and also made the Son of MAN, Jesus, a little LOWER than the angels. And the REASON for why God created us in the first place is BECAUSE of His ENEMIES.

Let us go ahead and read that passage of Scripture so that you can see this truth for yourself straight from God’s word, the Holy Bible.

Psalms 8:1-6.

“To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, (Or more correctly translated in the LITERAL translation from the Textus Receptus, Yahweh Lords of us.

Also, the LITERAL translation of Psalm 8:1 says, Yahweh our Lords in the PLURAL, as in, TWO Lords with the SAME NAME. The first Yahweh ALWAYS existed as Creator Yahweh.

And Yahweh the Father GAVE His NAME to His HUMAN Son, Jesus, AFTER the cross and resurrection to be MADE a Lord, according to Acts 2:36 and Philippians 2:8-11) how excellent is Your NAME in all the earth! Who has set Your glory above the heavens. (In other words, the Son of MAN, Jesus, gave glory to His God and Father during His ministry.

And as a reward for the OBEDIENCE of the human Son of God, Yahweh gave Jesus a NEW NAME and MADE Him Lord over the earth for 1000 years during the world to come, according to Acts 2:36, Isaiah 58:8, Hebrews 12:2, Acts 2:28, Psalm 21:6, and Psalm 17:15)

Psalm 8:2. Out of the mouth of babes and suckling have You ordained strength BECAUSE of Your enemies, that You might STILL the ENEMY and the AVENGER. (The strength that Yahweh ordained is the GIFT of the Holy Spirit and POWER from on high.

But in order to RECEIVE the gift of the Holy Spirit, a person must BELIEVE and RECEIVE Yahweh’s GIFT of RIGHTEOUSNESS by FAITH in His Son Jesus and what Jesus did for us on the cross)

Psalm 8:3. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; (Now, the reason that I highlighted the moon and the stars in green and in blue is because during a previous age of the earth ALL of the angels were GOOD angels.

And Yahweh SET or ordained some of His angels to become gods, or RULERS over different parts of the universe. And Lucifer was made a god of the earth. However, Lucifer and one third of the “stars” or the angels rebelled and waged a WAR against Yahweh and the rest of the good angels. And the moon is a FIGURE of Satan, the lesser light of the children of the NIGHT. So then, consider the Elohim both the faithful gods and rebellious gods)

Psalm 8:4. What is MAN, that You are mindful of Him? And the Son of MAN, that You visitest Him? (And, according to Isaiah 50:4-7, Yahweh visited the Son of MAN, Jesus, morning by morning to TEACH Him that the Scriptures prophesied of Him)

Psalm 8:5. For You have MADE Him a little LOWER than the angels, (In other words, God created or made MAN and the Son of MAN, Jesus, LOWER or inferior to the angels) AND have CROWNED Him with glory and honor. (To be made Lord over the earth for 1000 years during the world to come for a REASON.

And the reason for WHY God created a new species of beings called the HUMANS to be made a little LOWER than God’s previous creation of the angels is for God to JUDGE Lucifer, aka or also known as, Satan, guilty as charged.

And, according to Acts 17:29-31, Almighty God the Father will JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels, along with those disobedient to the Gospel, by the MAN who He ordained and raised from the DEAD)

Psalm 8:6. You made Him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under His feet:”

The Hebrew word translated as “to STILL your enemies” means to rid His enemies, to put down or remove His enemies.

And it also carries the meaning of taking away the credibility of the enemy’s accusation against Yahweh.

Keep in mind that God’s NAME or character has been polluted or profaned by His enemy, the avenger, according to Isaiah 48:11.

Now, according to Jesus, the children of the resurrection will be made EQUAL with the angels, who have ETERNAL LIFE. Keep in mind that the Hebrew word that is “translated” in Psalm 8:5 is “Elohim” which means God, god, and gods.

My point is that BEFORE God created Adam or MAN, the angels were the children of God. And at least some of the angels were made to become gods to rule for Yahweh over the many different planets in the different galaxies in the universe of the Creator's vast kingdom. Then a WAR broke out between the angels. And now Almighty God is in the process of JUDGING Satan and the fallen angels.

Know you not that YOU shall JUDGE the angels?

1 Corinthians 6:2,3.

“Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by YOU, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

1 Corinthians 6:3. Know you not that we shall judge angels? How much more things that pertain to this life?”

We are the SAINTS. If you are a true born-again Christian, then you are one of the saints who will rule and reign with Jesus to JUDGE the world and the fallen angels. Now, according to Galatians 3:25-29, ALL true born-again Christians are the CHILDREN of God.

Galatians 3:25-29.

“But AFTER FAITH has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. (The Law of Moses was the schoolteacher that led the Jews to Jesus as their Messiah.

But Romans 10:4 teaches us that Jesus is the END of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS.

For you see, God Himself has given us His GIFT of RIGHTEOUSNESS through faith in Jesus, according to Romans 5:17.)

Galataians 3:26. FOR (Or For you see,) you are ALL the children of God by FAITH in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 3:27. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Galatians 3:28. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are ALL ONE in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 3:29. And if you ARE Christ’s, then are you Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the Promise.”

So then, if you have been baptized into the BODY of Jesus Christ, which is the church of the FIRSTBORN, according to Hebrews 12:23, then you are an HEIR and a JOINT-HEIR with Jesus.

Please read Romans 8:16-17.

“The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Romans 8:17. And if children, then Heirs; Heirs of God, and JOINT-HEIRS with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”

Thus, everything Jesus INHERITS, we ALSO inherit WITH Him.

In John 17:20-26, Jesus teaches us that WHOSOEVER believes the gospel will be given the SAME GLORY that God gave to Jesus.

And we will ALL be made ONE with the Father even as Jesus and the Father are ONE.

Therefore, the teaching by the governing body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses that ONLY 144,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses will be found faithful enough to go to heaven to rule and reign with Jesus does NOT AGREE with the REST of the Scriptures.

That teaching is a doctrine of Devils and needs to be rejected.

For you see, it causes BOASTING and PRIDE. It misleads the flock of Jesus to WRONGLY believe that they are not worthy enough to PARTAKE of our Lord’s supper.

And Jesus said that those who do NOT eat His body and drink His blood will NOT receive eternal life.

My heart weeps for the Jehovah’s Witnesses to come out of the deceptions that they are being taught by the governing body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

I want all my readers who are Jehovah’s Witnesses and who have come out of that deception to read Luke 20:27-40.

In that passage of Scripture, Jesus was CORRECTING the doctrine of a SECT of Jews called the Sadducees. For you see, they denied the teaching of all the other Jews that there WILL be a RESURRECTION. Let us go ahead and read what Jesus himself teaches us in these verses of Scripture.

Luke 20:27-40.

“Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which DENY that there is any resurrection; and they asked Him,

Luke 20:28. Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Luke 20:29. There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

Luke 20:30. And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

Luke 20:31. And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

Luke 20:32. Last of all the woman died also.

Luke 20:33. Therefore, in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? For seven had her to wife.

Luke 20:34. And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (The children of this world is speaking about all human beings in this PRESENT world.

Know and understand that the CHILDREN of this present world BEGAN when God created the first man Adam and will END at the COMING of Jesus, which will BEGIN the world to COME)

Luke 20:35. But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain THAT WORLD, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (In other words, at the coming of Jesus there will be a RESURRECTION which is called the FIRST resurrection in Revelation 20:4-6.

And at that the time of the first resurrection a NEW AGE will begin and it will last for 1000 years, which is called the world to COME in, plus many other verses of Scripture)

Luke 20:36. Neither can they DIE any more: (That means they will be given ETERNAL LIFE like God gave to the Son of MAN, Jesus, when God resurrected Him to be God’s FIRSTBORN Son from the DEAD never to die again. Romans 8:28 says that Jesus is the FIRSTBORN among MANY brethren and that God is now conforming us into the IMAGE of His Son. And 1 John 3:2,3 says that right now we do not actually have eternal life, but when we see Jesus at His coming, then we will be LIKE Jesus, for we will see Him as He is.

So then, being SAVED in Jesus makes us WORTHY of the resurrection to RECEIVE ETERNAL life to NEVER DIE like the angels) for they (Speaking of every true born-again Christians who endures unto the end to be saved, according to Matthew 24:13. John 6:53-57, John 10:27,28, Romans 2:5-7, Romans 5:21, Romans 6:23, Titus 3:7, 1 John 5:9-13, James 1:12, and Revelation 2:10, plus many other verses of Scripture.

Being a faithful follower of Jesus is what makes us WORTHY to obtain eternal life in the world to come) are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, BEING the children of the resurrection.

(So then, to all of my Jehovah’s Witnesses who are reading this study, if you are a faithful follower of Jesus, then you will RULE and REIGN WITH Jesus over the MORTALS down on the earth during the world to come.

For you see, there will be no human beings other than FAITHFUL Christians who will be given ETERNAL life at the coming of Jesus)

Luke 20:37. Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

Luke 20:38. For He is not a God of the dead, but of the LIVING: for all live unto Him. (That means that the doctrine of soul sleep is NOT SOUND Biblical teaching.

Please read all of the studies under the heading ** Aa-0. The FALSE Doctrine of Soul Sleep! **)

Luke 20:39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, You have well said.

Luke 20:40. And after that they (Referring to the Sedducees that falsely teach there is no resurrection of the dead) did not dare to ask Him any question at all.”

Now, the Jehovah’s Witnesses are indeed taught that there WILL be a resurrection. But they are also taught that ONLY 144,000 Christians will be found FAITHFUL to obtain the resurrection up into heaven to RULE and reign with Jesus.

And they are taught that the rest of the Jehovah’s Witnesses will be resurrected and given ETERNAL LIFE to live down on the earth. However, that is NOT what the Bible ITSELF teaches us.

Let us read a quote from the Jehovah’s Witness article called Real Hope for Your Loved Ones Who Died! The emphasis and comments in parenthesis and Times Roman font are mine.

“17 Who will be resurrected? Jesus said that “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus’] voice and come out.” (John 5:28, 29)

(In other words, every human being who has died will be resurrected to face the JUDGMENT, according to)

Similarly, Revelation 20:13 says: “The sea gave up the dead in it, and death and the Grave gave up the dead in them.” (See the Appendix article “What Are Sheol and Hades?”) This collective grave will be emptied. All those billions who rest there will live again. The apostle Paul said: “There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15) What does that mean?”

According to the Bible ITSELF, it means that there will be TWO separate resurrections that will be 1000 years apart from each other. The FIRST resurrection will take place at the COMING of Jesus and only true born-again faithful Christians will be found worthy to RECEIVE eternal life to RULE and reign WITH Jesus DURING the world to come for 1000 years.

Please read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no HOPE. (It is ONLY the dead in Jesus Christ who have the hope of receiving ETERNAL LIFE at the coming of Jesus. In other words, only true born-again faithful Christians be given eternal life at the COMING of Jesus)

1 Thessalonians 4:14. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. (Notice that the dead in Jesus are up in heaven. In other words, their soul is up in heaven and NOT in the grave as the governing body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses wrongly teach.

Please read all of the studies under the subject heading Aa-0. The FALSE Doctrine of Soul Sleep!)

1 Thessalonians 4:15. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. (Or be caught up to meet Jesus in the clouds or the first heaven to forever be WITH the Lord before the dead in Jesus)

1 Thessalonians 4:16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

1 Thessalonians 4:17. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (Notice that no obedient born-again faithful Christian remains down on the surface of the earth. So again, the teachings by the governing body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses are DECEIVING and MISLEADING you)

1 Thessalonians 4:18. Wherefore comfort one another with THESE words.”

The words of the governing body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses are NOT comforting at all. For you see, they wrongly teach that ONLY 144,000 will be resurrected up into heaven to RULE and reign WITH Jesus over the earth. But the Bible itself teaches us that the ones in WHITE robes who will stand before the THRONE of Almighty God and the Lamb will be a MULTITUDE which no man can NUMBER! Now that is COMFORTING!

Revelation 7:9.

“After this I beheld, and, lo, a GREAT MULTITUDE, which no man could NUMBER, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood BEFORE the throne, and BEFORE the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;”

The Apostle John is asked by one of the elders, WHO are these clothed with white robes up in heaven being in so great a multitude which no man could NUMBER? John writes and tells us exactly who they are, so keep reading what the Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY!

Revelation 7:14,15.

“And I said unto him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the BLOOD of the Lamb. (And NOT by doing good works to be found WORTHY enough to be WITH Jesus to rule over the earth for 1000 years during the world to come)

Revelation 7:15. THEREFORE, (Or for this very REASON that they have washed their robes in the BLOOD of the LAMB) are they BEFORE the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple: (And NOT down on the earth, but in God’s TEMPLE before God’s THRONE and BEFORE the LAMB) and He that sits on the throne shall dwell among them.”

So, you have a choice to make, you can HOPE you are GOOD ENOUGH to go to heaven or you can REST in Jesus for your RIGHTEOUSNESS and KNOW that you WILL receive eternal life at the coming of Jesus to RULE and reign WITH Him over the MORTALS down of the earth.

For you see, there will only be TWO groups of people who will be ALIVE during the 1000-year reign of Jesus. One group will be given ETERNAL LIFE at the COMING of Jesus and THEY will live and reign WITH Jesus for 1000 years. And the other group of people will REMAIN MORTAL humans and live on the earth.

The MORTAL humans will MARRY and have families from generation to generation for 1000 years and the AGE of each person will be 100 years old, according to Isaiah 65:20-25. Thus, EVERY human down on the earth will have MORTAL bodies.

So, WHY would anyone want to be one of the 144-000 sealed JEWS or the 12 tribes of Israel who will be taught by Jesus and the Christians during the 1000-year reign of Jesus?

Isaiah 65:20-25.

“There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that has not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. (Yes, there will be those left alive of the nations, the DISOBEDIENT Christians, the unsaved Jews, along with the 144,000 sealed Jews during the 1000-year reign of Jesus,

The NEW heaven and NEW earth will not be created by God until AFTER the world to come that will last for 1000 years.

And after the final Day of Judgment the earth will PASS AWAY with a great noise and the elements will melt with fervent heat, according to 2 Peter 3:7-13)

Isaiah 65:21. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

Isaiah 65:22. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

Isaiah 65:23. They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. (Keep in mind that Jesus said that the children of the RESURRECTION will NOT MARRY and will NOT DIE. But those living on the earth will MARRY and they will DIE after living for 100 years.

Lay aside the Jehovah’s Witness teachings and read OTHER translations of the Bible to learn the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ)

Isaiah 65:24. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Isaiah 65:25. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, says the LORD.”

Yes, it is true that there will be no WARS during the 1000-year reign of Jesus. And life will be fair and just for the mortals on the earth. But up in heaven WITH Jesus, the second death will have no POWER over us.

So again, come out of the false teachings of the hovering body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses and read other translations of the Bible for yourself.

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.

WHO Are the CHILDREN of the Resurrection at the COMING of Jesus?

In the Bible we find two phrases, “the sons of God” and “the sons of men”.

So then, according to the Bible ITSELF, who are the “the sons of God” and “the sons of men”.

Well, according to the whole word of Almighty God, both phrases refer to BOTH the angelic beings called the sons of God in Genesis 6:2, AND the sons of Adam, according to Luke 3:38.

In other words, all Christians agree that we are the children of men who became the children of God when we received Jesus as our Savior to be born or God, according to John 1:12.

Let us go ahead and read that verse of Scripture.

John 1:12.

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”

Please know and understand that every baby that is born is born as a pure innocent child of God.

Therefore, we are all BORN as children of God. But after a person reaches an age of accountability and they sin, they fall short of the GLORY that God intended and desires for all humans to receive.

Thus, all unsaved adult humans are under sin and must be born-again to enter into the kingdom of God.

So then, according to 1 John 3:2, NOW are we the sons of God, but it does not yet appear what we shall be.

We know that we shall be like Jesus at his coming for we shall see him as he is.

And what that verse means is that we have not yet received the manifestation of the sons of God, according to Romans 8:19.

In other words, we are waiting to receive our new glorified immortal bodies like God gave to Jesus after God raised him from the dead.

Please read the study G-23. Was Jesus Resurrected as a Spirit Being?

Also, please read G-23. Our Bodily Resurrection!

So, then all humans are BORN as the sons of men and as the sons of God.

And in a similar manner, the angels are called BOTH the sons of men and the sons of God.

Let me explain what I mean by this a little further by explaining that in the Old Testament there are two different Hebrew words that are “translated” as men.

Now, from my understanding, the Hebrew word “Adam”, Strong’s number H120, always refers to mortal human beings, the offspring of Adam and Eve, according to Luke 3:38 and Acts 17:26.

Here is one of many examples showing that the Hebrew word “Adam” means the sons of men who inhabit the earth.

Psalm 33:12-14.

“The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.

Psalm 33:12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

Psalm 33:13. The LORD looks from heaven; He beholds ALL the sons of men. (H120 the Hebrew word Adam.

Also, the word “ALL” here in verse 13 is referring to the righteous humans in Jesus Christ.

In other words, a more correct translation would be Yahweh MARKS all of the Aleph Tav sons of men.

For you see, the Hebrew word that is translated as “beholds” also means to MARK as His own.

And the two Hebrew letters, the Aleph and the Tav are NOT translated)

Psalm 33:14. From the place of His habitation He looks upon ALL the inhabitants of the earth.”

The word “ALL” in verse 14 is referring to all of the sons of men of the offspring of Adam and Eve, both righteous and unrighteous.

Now, the other Hebrew word “translated” as men is “iysh” Strong’s number H376, pronounced as “eesh”.

And from my understanding, this Hebrew word translated as “men” can refer to BOTH the angels and the sons of Adam depending on the context.

In other words, the angels are called the sons of men because they existed during the previous age of the earth.

And the human inhabitants of the earth are called the sons of men, because we inhabit this present age or this present world.

Thus, the Hebrew word “iysh” translated as “man” and as “men” can refer to either the angels or to human beings, depending on the context.

But to my knowledge, the angels are never called the sons of Adam, Strong’s number H120.

So then, what is the DIFFERENCE between the angels and human beings?

Well, according to Psalm 8:1-6, God made MAN and also made the Son of MAN, Jesus, a little LOWER that the angels.

And the REASON for why God created us in the first place is BECAUSE of His ENEMIES.

Let us go ahead and read that passage of Scripture so that you can see this truth for yourself straight from God’s word, the Holy Bible.

Psalms 8:1-6.

“To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, (Or more correctly translated in the LITERAL translation from the Textus Receptus, Yahweh Lords of us.

Also, the LITERAL translation of Psalm 8:1 says, Yahweh our Lords in the PLURAL, as in, TWO Lords with the SAME NAME. The first Yahweh ALWAYS existed as Creator Yahweh.

And Yahweh the Father GAVE His NAME to His HUMAN Son, Jesus, AFTER the cross and resurrection to be MADE a Lord, according to Acts 2:36 and Philippians 2:8-11) how excellent is Your NAME in all the earth! Who has set Your glory above the heavens. (In other words, the Son of MAN, Jesus, gave glory to his God and Father during his ministry.

And as a reward for the OBEDIENCE of the human Son of God, Yahweh gave Jesus a NEW NAME and MADE him Lord over the earth for 1000 years during the world to come, according to Acts 2:36, Isaiah 58:8, Hebrews 12:2, Acts 2:28, Psalm 21:6, and Psalm 17:15)

Psalm 8:2. Out of the mouth of babes and suckling have You ordained strength BECAUSE of Your enemies, that You might STILL the ENEMY and the AVENGER. (The strength that Yahweh ordained is the GIFT of the Holy Spirit and POWER from on high.

But in order to RECEIVE the gift of the Holy Spirit, a person must BELIEVE and RECEIVE Yahweh’s GIFT of RIGHTEOUSNESS by FAITH in His Son Jesus and what Jesus did for us on the cross)

Psalm 8:3. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; (Now, the reason that I highlighted the moon and the stars in green and in blue is because during a previous age of the earth ALL of the angels were GOOD angels.

And Yahweh SET or ordained some of His angels to become gods, or RULERS over different parts of the universe. And Lucifer was made a god of the earth. However, Lucifer and one third of the “stars” or the angels rebelled and waged a WAR against Yahweh and the rest of the good angels.

And the moon is a FIGURE of Satan, the lesser light of the children of the NIGHT. So then, consider the Elohim both the faithful gods and rebellious gods)

Psalm 8:4. What is MAN, that You are mindful of him? And the Son of MAN, that You visitest him? (And, according to Isaiah 50:4-7, Yahweh visited the Son of MAN, Jesus, morning by morning to TEACH him that the Scriptures prophesied of him)

Psalm 8:5. For You have MADE him a little LOWER than the angels, (In other words, God created or made MAN and the Son of MAN, Jesus, LOWER or inferior to the angels) AND have CROWNED him with glory and honor. (To be made Lord over the earth for 1000 years during the word to come for a REASON.

And the reason for WHY God created a new species of beings called the HUMANS to be made a little LOWER than God’s previous creation of the angels is for God to JUDGE Lucifer, aka or also known as, Satan, guilty as charged.

And, according to Acts 17:29-31, Almighty God the Father will JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels, along with those disobedient to the Gospel, by the MAN who He ordained and raised from the DEAD)

Psalm 8:6. You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet:”

The Hebrew word translated as “to STILL your enemies” means to rid His enemies, to put down or remove His enemies.

And it also carries the meaning of taking away the credibility of the enemy’s accusation against Yahweh.

Keep in mind that God’s NAME or character has been polluted or profaned by His enemy, the avenger, according to Isaiah 48:11.

Now, according to Jesus, the children of the resurrection will be made EQUAL with the angels, who have ETERNAL LIFE.

Keep in mind that the Hebrew word that is “translated” in Psalm 8:5 is “Elohim” which means God, god, and gods.

My point is that BEFORE God created Adam or MAN, the angels were the children of God.

And at least some of the angels were made to become gods to rule for Yahweh over the many different planets in the different galaxies in the universe of the Creator's vast kingdom.

Then a WAR broke out between the angels. And now Almighty God is in the process of JUDGING Satan and the fallen angels.

Know you not that YOU shall JUDGE the angels?

1 Corinthians 6:2,3.

“Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by YOU, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

1 Corinthians 6:3. Know you not that we shall judge angels? How much more things that pertain to this life?”

We are the SAINTS. If you are a true born-again Christian, then you are one of the saints who will rule and reign with Jesus to JUDGE the world and the fallen angels.

Now, according to Galatians 3:25-29, ALL true born-again Christians are the CHILDREN of God.

Galatians 3:25-29.

“But AFTER FAITH has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. (The Law of Moses was the schoolteacher that led the Jews to Jesus as their Messiah.

But Romans 10:4 teaches us that Jesus is the END of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS.

For you see, God Himself has given us His GIFT of RIGHTEOUSNESS through faith in Jesus, according to Romans 5:17.)

Galataians 3:26. FOR (Or For you see,) you are ALL the children of God by FAITH in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 3:27. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Galatians 3:28. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are ALL ONE in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 3:29. And if you ARE Christ’s, then are you Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the promise.”

So then, if you have been baptized into the BODY of Jesus Christ, which is the church of the FIRSTBORN, according to Hebrews 12:23, then you are an HEIR and a JOINT-HEIR with Jesus.

Please read Romans 8:17.

“The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Rom 8:17. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and JOINT-HEIRS with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified together.”

Thus, everything Jesus INHERITS, we ALSO inherit WITH him.

In John 17:20-26, Jesus teaches us that WHOSOEVER believes the gospel will be given the SAME GLORY that God gave to Jesus.

And we will ALL be made ONE with the Father even as Jesus and the Father are ONE.

Therefore, the teaching by the governing body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses that ONLY 144,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses will be found faithful enough to go to heaven to rule and reign with Jesus does NOT AGREE with the REST of the Scriptures.

That teaching is a doctrine of Devils and needs to be rejected.

For you see, it causes BOASTING and PRIDE. It misleads the flock of Jesus to WRONGLY believe that they are not worthy enough to PARTAKE of our Lord’s supper.

And Jesus said that those who do NOT eat his body and drink his blood will NOT receive eternal life.

My heart weeps for the Jehovah’s Witnesses to come out of the deceptions that they are being taught by the governing body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

I want all my readers who are Jehovah’s Witnesses and who have come out of that deception to read Luke 20:27-40.

In that passage of Scripture, Jesus was CORRECTING the doctrine of a SECT of Jews called the Sadducees.

For you see, they denied the teaching of all the other Jews that there WILL be a RESURRECTION.

Let us go ahead and read what Jesus himself teaches us in these verses of Scripture.

Luke 20:27-40.

“Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which DENY that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

Luke 20:28. Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Luke 20:29. There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

Luke 20:30. And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

Luke 20:31. And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

Luke 20:32. Last of all the woman died also.

Luke 20:33. Therefore, in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? For seven had her to wife.

Luke 20:34. And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (The children of this world is speaking about all human beings in this PRESENT world.

Know and understand that the CHILDREN of this present world BEGAN when God created the first man Adam and will END at the COMING of Jesus, which will BEGIN the world to COME)

Luke 20:35. But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain THAT WORLD, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (In other words, at the coming of Jesus there will be a RESURRECTION which is called the FIRST resurrection in Revelation 20:4-6.

And at that the time of the first resurrection a NEW AGE will begin and it will last for 1000 years, which is called the world to COME in, plus many other verses of Scripture)

Luke 20:36. Neither can they DIE any more: (That means they will be given ETERNAL LIFE like God gave to the Son of MAN, Jesus, when God resurrected him to be God’s FIRSTBORN Son from the DEAD never to die again.

Romans 8:28 says that Jesus is the FIRSTBORN among MANY brethren and that God is now conforming us into the IMAGE of His Son.

And 1 John 3:2,3 says that right now we do not actually have eternal life, but when we see Jesus at his coming, then we will be LIKE Jesus, for we will see him as he is.

So then, being SAVED in Jesus makes us WORTHY of the resurrection to RECEIVE ETERNAL life to NEVER DIE like the angels) for they (Speaking of every true born-again Christians who endures unto the end to be saved, according to Matther 24:13. John 6:53-57, John 10:27,28, Romans 2:5-7, Romans 5:21, Romans 6:23, Titus 3:7, 1 John 5:9-13, James 1:12, and Revelation 2:10, plus many other verses of Scripture.

Being a faithful follower of Jesus is what makes us WORTHY to obtain eternal life in the world to come) are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, BEING the children of the resurrection.

(So then, to all of my Jehovah’s Witnesses who are reading this study, if you are a faithful follower of Jesus, then you will RULE and REIGN WITH Jesus over the MORTALS down on the earth during the world to come.

For you see, there will be NO human beings other than FAITHFUL Christians who will be given ETERNAL life at the coming of Jesus)

Luke 20:37. Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

Luke 20:38. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the LIVING: for all live unto him. (That means that the doctrine of soul sleep is NOT SOUND Biblical teaching.

Please read all of the studies under the heading ** Aa-1. The FALSE Doctrine of Soul Sleep! **)

Luke 20:39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, You have well said.

Luke 20:40. And after that they (Referring to the Sedducees that falsely teach there is no resurrection of the dead) did not dare to ask him any question at all.”

Now, the Jehovah’s Witnesses are indeed taught that there WILL be a resurrection.

But they are also taught that ONLY 144,000 Christians will be found FAITHFUL to obtain the resurrection up into heaven to RULE and reign with Jesus.

And they are taught that the rest of the Jehovah’s Witnesses will be resurrected and given ETERNAL LIFE to live down on the earth.

However, that is NOT what the Bible ITSELF teaches us.

Let us read a quote from the Jehovah’s Witness article called Real Hope for Your Loved Ones Who Died!

The emphasis and comments in parenthesis and Times Roman font are mine.

“17 Who will be resurrected? Jesus said that “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus’] voice and come out.” (John 5:28, 29)

(In other words, every human being who has died will be resurrected to face the JUDGMENT, according to)

Similarly, Revelation 20:13 says: “The sea gave up the dead in it, and death and the Grave gave up the dead in them.” (See the Appendix article “What Are Sheol and Hades?”) This collective grave will be emptied. All those billions who rest there will live again. The apostle Paul said: “There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15) What does that mean?”

According to the Bible ITSELF, it means that there will be TWO separate resurrections that will be 1000 years apart from each other.

The FIRST resurrection will take place at the COMING of Jesus and only true born-again faithful Christians will be found worthy to RECEIVE eternal life to RULE and reign WITH Jesus DURING the world to come for 1000 years.

Please read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have NO HOPE. (It is ONLY the dead in Jesus Christ who have the hope of receiving ETERNAL LIFE at the coming of Jesus.

In other words, only true born-again faithful Christians be given eternal life at the COMING of Jesus)

1 Thessalonians 4:14. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. (Notice that the dead in Jesus are up in heaven.

In other words, their soul is up in heaven and NOT in the grave as the governing body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses wrongly teach.

Please read all of the studies under the subject heading Aa-0. The FALSE Doctrine of Soul Sleep!)

1 Thessalonians 4:15. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. (Or be caught up to meet Jesus in the clouds or the first heaven to forever be WITH the Lord before the dead in Jesus)

1 Thessalonians 4:16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

1 Thessalonians 4:17. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (Notice that NO obedient born-again faithful Christian remains down on the surface of the earth.

So again, the teachings by the governing body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses are DECEIVING and MISLEADING you)

1 Thessalonians 4:18. Wherefore comfort one another with THESE words.”

The words of the governing body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses are NOT comforting at all.

For you see, they wrongly teach that ONLY 144,000 will be resurrected up into heaven to RULE and reign WITH Jesus over the earth.

But the Bible itself teaches us that the ones in WHITE robes who will stand before the THRONE of Almighty God and the Lamb will be a MULTITUDE which no man can NUMBER!

Now that is COMFORTING!

Revelation 7:9.

“After this I beheld, and, lo, a GREAT MULTITUDE, which no man could NUMBER, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood BEFORE the throne, and BEFORE the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;”

The Apostle John is asked by one of the elders, WHO are these clothed with white robes up in heaven being in so great a multitude which no man could NUMBER?

John writes and tells us exactly who they are, so keep reading what the Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY!

Revelation 7:14,15.

“And I said unto him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the BLOOD of the Lamb. (And NOT by doing good works to be found WORTHY enough to be WITH Jesus to rule over the earth for 1000 years during the world to come)

Revelation 7:15. THEREFORE, (Or for this very REASON that they have washed their robes in the BLOOD of the LAMB) are they BEFORE the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple: (And NOT down on the earth, but in God’s TEMPLE before God’s THRONE and BEFORE the LAMB) and He that sits on the throne shall dwell among them.”

So, you have a choice to make, you can HOPE you are GOOD ENOUGH to go to heaven or you can REST in Jesus for your RIGHTEOUSNESS and KNOW that you WILL receive eternal life at the coming of Jesus to RULE and reign WITH him over the MORTALS down of the earth.

For you see, there will only be TWO groups of people who will be ALIVE during the 1000 year reign of Jesus.

One group will be given ETERNAL LIFE at the COMING of Jesus and THEY will live and reign WITH Jesus for 1000 years.

And the other group of people will REMAIN MORTAL humans and live on the earth.

The MORTAL humans will MARRY and have families from generation to generation for 1000 years and the AGE of each person will be 100 years old, according to Isaiah 65:20-25.

Thus, EVERY human down on the earth will have MORTAL bodies.

So, WHY would anyone want to be one of the 144-000 sealed JEWS or the 12 tribes of Israel who will be taught by Jesus and the Christians during the 1000 year reign of Jesus?

Isaiah 65:20-25.

“There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that has not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. (Yes, there will be those left alive of the nations, the DISOBEDIENT Christians, the unsaved Jesus, along with the 144,000 sealed Jews during the 1000 year reign of Jesus,

The NEW heaven and NEW earth will not be created by God until AFTER the world to come that will last for 1000 years.

And after the final Day of Judgment the earth will PASS AWAY with a great noise and the elements will melt with fervent heat, according to 2 Peter 3:7-13)

Isaiah 65:21. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

Isaiah 65:22. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

Isaiah 65:23. They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. (Keep in mind that Jesus said that the children of the RESURRECTION will NOT MARRY and will NOT DIE.

But those living on the earth will MARRY and they will DIE after living for 100 years.

Lay aside the Jehovah’s Witness teachings and read OTHER translations of the Bible to learn the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ)

Isaiah 65:24. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Isaiah 65:25. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, says the LORD.”

Yes, it is true that there will be no WARS during the 1000 year reign of Jesus.

And life will be fair and just for the mortals on the earth.

But up in heaven WITH Jesus, the second death will have NO POWER over us.
