This
Essay is a pointed factual presentation and analysis of Bible Truth
establishing a principle Bible concept: The Holy Trinity.
Our
Lord Jesus Christ himself taught his disciples to believe in the Trinity,
shortly before his ascension.
Mat
28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
All
Creations Lives Depend on the Trinity
The
original purpose of God for man is for them to have Paradise. This according to
the Bible was foiled by Satan. God, therefore uttered his first prophecy
regarding restoration of man to Paradise
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed
and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
God
then again over 2000+ years later repeated his prophecy to Abraham because of
his faithfulness to him.
Gen 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Then God confirmed that the Seed will come through a Virgin.
Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin
shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Then it was fulfilled in Our Lord Jesus Christ
Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS:
for he shall save his people from their sins.
Mat 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of
the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and
they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Please note that Mathew 1:23 said: Emmanuel means “God with Us”. And so God
came to the earth in Our Lord Jesus Christ.
This was further confirmed
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God.
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his
glory, the
Instead
of using the word God incarnated, the correct representation would be God
cloned his voice (Word). The voice of God simply took on flesh. Please
remember, there is nothing God cannot do, please.
To
confirm this, we go back to time of creation:
Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and
let it divide the waters from the waters.
God
created with voice command (Word) which became flesh and so the Bible can say:
Joh
1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made
that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
It
therefore sums up that all things were created by the Word which became Our
Lord Jesus Christ.
Why
did the word become flesh to dwell among us?
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he
also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might
destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
The
short answer was to rescue mankind from death. By surrendering the flesh to
death, God will redeem mankind forever from the devil.
Why
did God not come in his own name?
You have the answer above. He has come to destroy the devil and so the devil must
not know He is in town. Although he has given the prophecy of coming, his
actual coming will mean the death of Satan, the devil. This calls for secrecy.
You
have heard of the virgin birth, but Mary was not your monastery type virgin
that would have aroused attention. She was almost married when the Holy Ghost
manifested into her womb. Then Joseph her husband took her home but there was
no physical contact.
Mat
1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had
bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
Mat 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he
called his name JESUS.
Now
that God has come to the earth, He decided that the relationship that must
exist between his voice clone and himself will be that of Son and Father. He
has prophesied that already
2Sa 7:14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I
will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of
men: veiled!
When his voice clone was actually born, this is what God now said:
Heb
1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day
have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to
me a Son?
Heb 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he
saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
Do you see why Our Lord Jesus Christ could never have been an Angel in his
pre-human existence?
God now said: You will be my Son and I will be your Father. A Father and Son
relationship has been created between God and his voice clone, which is
himself. And now when God speaks, Our Lord Jesus Christ will speak. Whatsoever,
the Father does, the Son does likewise.
Then God actually ordered his angels to worship him. Please bear in mind that
God does not share his honour with any:
Isa 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to
another, neither my praise to graven images.
God,
himself now said the Son created all things. Yes God was speaking of himself,
but we were not understanding.
Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a
sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Heb 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even
thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Heb 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the
earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
God in
earlier prophecy to Isaiah have said that the Son will be Mighty God, Eternal
Father among other titles
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isa 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 for ever. The zeal of the
LORD of hosts will perform this.
Very
strong pointers
Joh 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for
what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
Joh
16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall
take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
Here
Our Lord Jesus Christ was dropping hints that He is the Father on earth. Yes,
we must not loose sight of the fact that he has to play the role of a Son at
most times. For him to be Son, he must speak of his Father.
God was on a secret mission to come and deal the head of the devil a blow and
to achieve that, he is the only one who must know the identity of the Son, not
even the angels in heaven. If God, in Our Lord Jesus Christ did not die the way
he did (killed by agents of the devil) we would not have had our redemption
price paid.
The
next question is Can God actually die? God, himself said, the flesh and blood
he took can and did die
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he
also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might
destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Before
dealing with the several instances where our Lord Jesus Christ makes reference
to his father and even prophecies indicating the separateness of Our Lord Jesus
Christ from Jehovah God, let us touch on the Holy Ghost
What
about the Holy Ghost?
Act
5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the
Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Act 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it
not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou
hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
Commentary: Please note that verse 3 says ....lie to the Holy Ghost and
continuing in verse 4...... it changes to not lied unto men, but unto God. It
could therefore be inferred that the early Apostles believed the Holy Ghost was
God.
Who
therefore is the Spirit?
2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty
The
Spirit is Our Lord Jesus Christ. Read the following scriptures with
understanding:
Joh
14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that
he may abide with you for ever;
Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it
seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.
Joh 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
Commentary:
Please pay particular attention to verses 17 & 18. ...but ye know him; for
he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you then after speaking of Comforter, our
Lord Jesus Christ said: “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you”.
.
Commentary: The Lord (Jesus Chrisit) is that Spirit (Holy Ghost).
Special
characteristics of the Holy Ghost
Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into
all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear,
that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Commentary:
Please note that the Holy Ghost will not do anything by himself, but what he
shall hear, that shall he speak....
Now
here is your contrast:
Joh
5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what
things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
Commentary:
Please note here too that The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth
the Father do: for what things soever he doeth....
Our
Lord Jesus Christ is the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is referred to as “he” same
as Our Lord Jesus Christ or the Father was referred to as. These were all
hints.
The
mystery of the Trinity has now been solved. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the
Father, He is the Son and He is the Holy Ghost.
Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and
unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement
of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Before
coming to complex scriptures like
Dan 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came
with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought
him near before him.
Dan 7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all
people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an
everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which
shall not be destroyed.
And
1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to
God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority
and power.
1Co 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1Co 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all
things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all
things under him.
We
will be looking at the significance of the Trinity. It most certainly was not a
simple dogma to confuse. There was a purpose behind that.
The
Father
Creator/Lawgiver:
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Commentary:
God began his creation. This confirms that he is creator of earth and heaven.
We, however, must bear in mind that “God created by his Word” which was Jesus
Christ who manifested in the flesh. Therefore, God commanded, he formed, and
created all means the same thing. Contrast the following scriptures:
Gen 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving
creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament
of heaven.
Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth,
which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged
fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field,
and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call
them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name
thereof.
Other scriptures to read:
Gen
1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Gen 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from
the darkness.
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his
kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it
was so.
Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after
their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and
God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them.
Lawgiver
Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the
garden thou mayest freely eat:
Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat
of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God
hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Summary:
God set up his law for mankind to be obeyed. Disobedience will mean death for
Adam and Eve.
Other
scriptures to read:
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall
be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Num 30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul
with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that
proceedeth out of his mouth.
Deu 23:21 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack
to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be
sin in thee.
Deu 23:22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
Deu 23:23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even
a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which
thou hast promised with thy mouth.
Psa 119:106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous
judgments.
2Ch 15:13 That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to
death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
2Ch 15:14 And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting,
and with trumpets, and with cornets.
Neh 10:29 They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse,
and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of
God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his
judgments and his statutes;
Commentary:
Please note that once God makes a statement, he will perform it. When Adam and
Eve sinned, they without fail brought unto themselves the punishment spelt out
“death”. I hope you the reader understand this point very well.
Other scriptures to read:
Dan 6:14 Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with
himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the
going down of the sun to deliver him.
Dan 6:15 Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know,
O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute
which the king establisheth may be changed.
Dan 6:16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into
the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou
servest continually, he will deliver thee.
Est 8:8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and
seal it with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's
name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.
Commentary:
Both the Books of Daniel and of Esther quoted explains God’s statues. Human
Kings signed decrees which they would have loved to alter, but the decrees of
Kings are not alterable. In the case of King Darius, he was counting on the
power of Daniel’s God. In the case of King Xerxes in the Book of Esther, he
issued a counter decree that the Israelites could defend themselves. Long
before these Kings ever were, God has a provision in place to save dying
mankind.
WHAT
PROVISION DID GOD MAKE FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS
Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without
shedding of blood is no remission.
Lev 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you
upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that
maketh an atonement for the soul.
Lev 6:7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it
shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing
therein.
Commentary:
This now brings us to the need of a Redeemer/Saviour to replace the need to
have blood sacrifices for atonement of sins. How would God meet this
requirement?
The Redeemer/Saviour
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he
also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might
destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Please note here that it was God, himself who came to earth in Our Lord Jesus
Christ. He then paid the redemption price for our sins. If you read the above
scripture carefully, you will notice that before coming to earth to die for us,
it was Satan who has power over death. It was therefore in his outfit as Son,
that he destroyed Satan’s stranglehold on humans. Therefore all power of God,
the Father transferred to the Son, who in actual fact, is himself answering
another name, Jesus Christ.
Joh 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto
the Son
Joh 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He
that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
Joh 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye
believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Joh 10:18 “No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power
to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I
received of my Father.”
Psa
2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Psa 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his
wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in
him.
Commentary:
The claims our Lord Jesus Christ made as to his sacrificial death is the
central theme of the New Testament. If one refuses to believe that, on what
basis can the one hope for forgiveness of their sins? To continue slaughtering
animals for atonement of sins? Please, I believe I have made a strong case that
Jesus Christ was actually with God from the very beginning as His Word/Voice.
Why should we die in vain because of our disbelief? God, in our Lord Jesus
Christ walked the earth as Son and he has to play the role.
Joh
5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall
come in his own name, him ye will receive.
Pro 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of
old.
Commentary:
Our Lord Jesus Christ before coming in his Father’s name was possessed as in
God’s voice/word.
The
title Redeemer of mankind came to be vested in only the Son and not the Father.
This is very important. If this sounds confusing, I will illustrate later.
1Jn
5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this
life is in his Son.
1Jn 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God
hath not life.
Commentary:
This is a very strong statement. When God speaks, we must listen.
Isa
54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy
Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
Isa 59:20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from
transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of his grace;
Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no
hope, and without God in the world:
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by
the blood of Christ.
1Jn 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the
Saviour of the world.
1Jn 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in
him, and he in God.
Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS:
for he shall save his people from their sins.
Mat 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of
the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and
they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Rom 9:5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came,
who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
1Jn 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the
Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe
on the name of the Son of God.
2Co
5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus
Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2Co 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself,
not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of
reconciliation.
Since
Our Lord Jesus Christ was the Voice of God with flesh around it, once he
dropped the flesh, he will be simply God. However, for the sake of mankind, the
dual role of Father and Son has to be played. Without the Son, no one can have
life of any description.
Our
Redemption – Our Life
Because of this sinful state of God’s children resulting in death for God’s
children, He, by himself will have to provide a ransom to redeem mankind from
sin. Our lives depend on this point and so, please read it very carefully.
God, The Father as lawgiver, has given his command. He cannot take it back
without Satan, the deceiver reproaching Him. Pro 27:11 My son, be wise, and
make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me” also Psa 119:42
So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy
word.
Please
think very seriously of what follows now. Whatever you do, give it your
prayerful consideration:
Jud 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed
about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but
said, The Lord rebuke thee.
Commentary:
Note that God had indicated to Moses that he will not go to the Promise Land
because he has not completely followed all God’s direction. And so because
Moses has sin, Satan was there to claim his body as a sinner. Dear reader, if
Satan was bold enough to want to claim the body of Prophet Moses, where does
that leave ordinary mortals?
Take
note of the following scriptures as well:
Zec 3:1 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of
the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
Zec 3:2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the
LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of
the fire?
Zec 3:3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the
angel.
Zec 3:4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying,
Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have
caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of
raiment.
Commentary:
Do you really appreciate why mankind needed the Redemption value of the blood
of our Lord Jesus Christ? Now let me clarify the situation a bit further.
In our
sinful state, we will sin or rather occasionally soil our garments. When one
commits a sin, wilfully or otherwise, he/she has done the will of Satan. The
accuser/deceiver lives in sin and claims all sinners. Hence when a worshipper
of God sins, he/she has missed the mark expected of him by God. He/she needs
blood to atone for the committed sin.
Commentary:
This brings me to a very powerful point. Now with God the Father, with his
cloned Word/Voice as Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, should I commit sin. I now
have the privilege of asking for forgiveness on the basis of the Redeemer. Let
me re-state this fact very clearly and in stages.
1. I commit sin, that is transgressed the law of God the Father (Jehovah). The
penalty for my error is death.
2. I asked for forgiveness of my sin. Before Jehovah God will consider my
petition Satan wades in protesting that “wages of sin is death” meaning I
should have no reprieve of any description. Satan then reminds God that “His
Word is His Bond”. He cannot go back on his word.(This is was meant by Heb 2:14
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also
himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him
that had the power of death, that is, the devil;) Do not let anyone or spirit
deceive you in thinking God does not answer to anyone and so we can be reckless
without retribution. His statues do not change, but He is a compassionate God
who wants to save you.
3. However, now instead of asking for forgiveness direct from the office of
Jehovah God, I petition him in the name of Jesus Christ which is not still present
as a separate God from God. Please refer to Heb 2:14 above. Now I ask for
forgiveness on the basis of Jesus Christ shed blood at Calvary. At this point
Jesus Christ, the Redeemer takes over my case. Please it is important for us to
understand that Jesus Christ is not living as a separate God from God. It is
God, answering different names. Does your jaw drops now? It should and I am
very happy for that. Do you appreciate why the Trinity has remained a mystery
for so long until now?
God,
therefore, in our Lord Jesus Christ could say at Mathew 28:18
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto
me in heaven and in earth.
Joh 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto
the Son
Joh 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He
that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
Joh 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye
believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Commentary: The office of Jesus Christ absolves Jehovah God from breaking His
sworn statement of “Penalty of Sin is Death”. The name of our Lord Jesus Christ
now steps in and covers me with his shed blood. I am free from being killed.
Please take serious note of Joh 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall
die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your
sins.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the same Jehovah God who came on earth to pay for the
ransom price for us. He did that under the name of the Son .Anyone who wilfully
refuses to acknowledge the office of Jesus Christ (The Son) has only one route
death, eternal damnation because whatever you do on earth, you will commit sin
of one description or another. You were born in sin. Who will mediate for you?
Why would you elect to die needlessly trying in vain to be super righteous?
Yes, a worshiper of God must strive to be righteous and clean, but you will sin
or just in case you sin, who will be there for you? This message is for all
mankind irrespective of where you live on planet earth. The Father judges
nobody now. This means that it is still the devil that controls death in the
case of any living human being without Our Lord Jesus Christ. This is very
important and highlights why The Father pushes all mankind to move to the Son
as all authority of saving us is now vested in the Son. Please remember that
the “Son” is The Redeemer . God, in the Son died for our sins to reclaim us
back for himself. Acknowledging the Son means we are acknowledging he has paid
for our sins and our lives belong to him.
It
will really be very sad if we think of God as one solid entity with one head
and two legs to match. That will spell our doom. God is Super, Super Spirit. We
all want to be on the route to everlasting life with possibility of forgiveness
of our sins.
OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST AS FIRSTBORN OF ALL CREATION
Col
1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature
Commentary:
Our Lord Jesus Christ as firstborn does not relate to his pre-human existence.
Please note that the Bible cannot be altered. If he was Word/Voice of God, how
could voice be created apart from the personality housing the voice? Consider
the following scriptures. God, in our Lord Jesus Christ is to mediate a new
covenant superior to the old covenant He had with Israel. That New Covenant
will bring humans into elevated position of becoming sons of God. They will
have resurrection into incorruptible bodies same as the body God adopted in our
Lord Jesus Christ. Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than
the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he
by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Heb 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all
things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their
salvation perfect through sufferings.
Our Lord Jesus Christ was therefore a model of what his disciples will become
thus he became the Firstborn. First he had a natural birth thus obtaining a
perfect body.
I wish to stress here that the Holy Ghost itself supplied me with the
scriptures at Heb 2:9-10 in my Dream to support this position which is
authentic.
Mat
1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for
he shall save his people from their sins.
Mat 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of
the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and
they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Mat 1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had
bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
Mat 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he
called his name JESUS.
Luk
2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling
clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the
inn.
Commentary:
This is a Bible Study item. Firstborn when he took on flesh after the children
and perfect life through natural birth and first born in death opening the way
for his followers to have similar death and resurrection to sons of God. Jesus
was by the new covenant being the first and for the adoption of children to
God. Our Lord Jesus Christ was here giving us a model to his followers with a
promise of becoming sons of God.
That in no way confirms his own position as a created being. Please read with
understanding the verses that follows indicating “He created all things”. He is
God, The Creator Himself on Earth.
Col
1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in
earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or
principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the
firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Col 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
Col 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to
reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in
earth, or things in heaven.
Commentary;
If all things were created by God and you are reading that it was our Lord
Jesus Christ who created all things, you either curse him for blaspheming or
worship him as God on Earth? Which will it be for you? 1Co 12:3 Wherefore I
give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus
accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy
Ghost. Although scholarly work can help in the main, the Holy Ghost has to
touch your heart to recognize the real identity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Yes,
he reconciled all things unto himself., whether on earth or in heaven.
HE IS
THE ETERNAL FATHER
Isa
9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isa 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 for ever. The zeal of the
LORD of hosts will perform this.
Commentary: Have we got two Fathers? As a reader, do you really think such
things will be published if not strictly sending us important messages which we
were not grasping?
1Jn
4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1Jn 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have
heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Commentary:
Please note that by this scripture, confession that Jesus has come in the flesh
is in actual fact confessing that God has come in the flesh. Please refer to
Mat 1:23 “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,
and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with
us.”
Any
Spirit that does not confess that God has come in the flesh is not from God. If
on the other hand, we simply claim head knowledge that Jesus walked the earth,
it has no significance whatsoever. If you do not believe He is actually God on
Earth, that spirit is not from God.
I have to caution against using the New World Translation please. It does not
even mention “Jesus coming in the flesh in 1Jhn 4:3”. Is it an omission or
because they do not believe that God has come in the flesh in our Lord Jesus?)
Be very careful. It is your life, please. In fact, the New World Translation
purges the whole Bible hunting down on every reference to Our Lord Jesus Christ
as God.
HOW DID GOD SPEAK TO US THROUGH HIS SON?
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath
appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his
person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by
himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Commentary:
When God spoke through the Prophets, his word simply came to them and they
prophesy. But God has spoken to us by Himself in “His Son”. The clue is in the
fact that the Son created all Things. Who created all things? God created All
things. God took on flesh and He then named the flesh and blood “Son”. He spoke
with us face to face in Jesus Christ. If you miss this point, there goes your
salvation.
THIS
HEADING IS VERY CRUCIAL SO, I OFFER HERE A SUMMARY:
1. God to save mankind proposed to come to earth himself to deal the head of
Satan a blow. Gen. 3:15
2. Then he promised Abraham that he will come through his lineage. Gen.
22:16-18
3. Then he prophesied how he will do it – via a Virgin. Isaiah 7:14
4. Then he came in Our Lord Jesus Christ. Mat. 1:23; John 1:14, Heb. 2:14
5. God on earth, now took on the name “Son”.The name “Son” was in relation to
our Lord Jesus Christ’s birth on earth. Never before his pre-human existence,
Heb. 1:5-9;
6. First in line with covenant arrangement of adoption of sons for God, hence
Firstborn
Rom 8:29-33, Heb.2:9-10, Eph 1:3-4
Commentary: Please never ever read any Bible text and loose the origin of Our
Lord Jesus Christ. Whatever you do, never forget that his pre-human existence
is as “Word of God”. The same as was used in all creation, hence one and same
with God. Yes, God took on flesh like humans in Our Lord Jesus Christ.
WHEN
GOD SPEAKS, MAN MUST LISTEN
WHO
CREATED ALL THINGS:
Isa
44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb,
I am LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that
spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
Commentary:
The father created all things alone. Alone means, no assistance and by himself
not through anyone.
Joh
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh
1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that
was made.
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are
in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or
principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Heb 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the
earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
The
son created all things, and nothing was made without him. Because he was the
Word used in creating. “Let there be.....” Please it is very important that you
understand this point very well. The Father had said he created everything
without any form of assistance and the Bible cannot be altered. We know God
created with word command and so, he did not need anyone to issue the command
through. But here, The Son is being spoken of as the creator of all things.
Does it not call for some serious questions? Over the ages, it had and some had
concluded that the Bible is contradictory, but they were wrong.
WHO IS
THE SAVIOUR OF MANKIND?
Isa
43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen:
that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there
was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Isa 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
Isa
45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that
there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
Isa 45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together:
who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have
not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour;
there is none beside me.
Commentary: These are said about Jehovah God ( The Father). Now read what has
been said about Our Lord Jesus Christ (The Son)
Tit 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great
God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Tit 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity,
and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Tit
3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man
appeared,
Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his
mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy
Ghost;
Tit 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Commentary: The Son is also God and Saviour. (One and the same person)
ABOUT
JESUS, GOD HIMSELF SAID, HE WILL BE MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING KING
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isa 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 for ever. The zeal of the
LORD of hosts will perform this.
Commentary:
In Jeremiah which follows now, we are told that God is the only everlasting
King. Yet, it was God who gave out the prophecy above. I am again stressing
that God will never create another God, and our Lord Jesus Christ “He is the
beginning and the ending” which means he has no beginning and no ending.
Jer
10:10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting
king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able
to abide his indignation.
Jer 10:11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens
and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these
heavens.
Further
Comments: Our Lord Jesus Christ is Eternal Father? Jehovah God has said: Isa
42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another,
neither my praise to graven images. Jeremiah said Jehovah is everlasting King.
Isaiah said Jesus Christ is everlasting King. One and the same.
How do
we explain the following scriptures.
Isa 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in
righteousness, and
shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
Commentary:
Every knee must bow to the Father
Php
2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and
things in earth, and things under the earth;
Php 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father.
Further
comments: The Prophet Isaiah was speaking about Jehovah God and Phillipians was
speaking about Jesus Christ. “All knees bowing to”. The only explanation is
that Jehovah God and Jesus Christ are one and the same God. A masterful
disguise? There was perfect reason for that my brothers and sisters. Our God
does not do anything without a purpose and you have read it above. To rescue
mankind from death.
Who is
the first and the last?
Isa 41:4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the
beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
Isa
48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first,
I also am the last.
Commentary: The Father is The First and the Last
Rev 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith
the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
Rev 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord,
which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Rev 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right
hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Rev 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for
evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the
last.
Commentary:
The Son is Also The First and The Last (One and the same person). There are
several instances more in the Holy Scripures.
THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE HOLY GHOST
Holy
Ghost power!! Holy Ghost Fire!! This is what you hear when you visit any
Apostolic Church during revival ministries. Why is Holy Ghost associated with
power and fire? Some describe the Holy Ghost as God’s active force (power
behind all creation)
Luk
24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in
the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Rom
5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our
hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
1Jn 4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath
given us of his Spirit.
Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send
in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into
all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear,
that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Eph
4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is
good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the
day of redemption.
Eph 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil
speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Eph 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Commentary:
Human kind now needs the power to be able to withstand all pressures that will
come from Satan. God was not going to leave mankind all on their own to fight
whatever evil that comes their way alone. The benefit of the ransom will be
lost. Power comes from the knowledge that we have the best tutor (The Holy
Ghost) resident in us. Therefore, our Lord Jesus Christ promised The Holy Ghost
coming to stay in us. Please bear in mind that at creation of Adam and Eve, God
has actually put himself in them (Adam and Eve). Through their wilful
disobedience, they shut Him out of their lives. They then became fearful
instead of being bold and welcoming: Gen 3:8 “And they heard the voice of the
LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife
hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the
garden.”
The role of a Comforter is to cheer one up and restore a person to his/her
former cheerful self. Let me illustrate this point with the transformation in
the life of a Bible personality (Apostle Peter). I am entreating you to bear in
mind that Peter actually means “rock”. He must have been one of the strongest
in the faith whilst our Lord Jesus Christ was with them. Now read on:
Mat 26:33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended
because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
Mat 26:34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before
the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Mat 26:35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not
deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
Commentary:
The statement from Apostle Peter were bold statements, and these are the
statements of most people who become believers in Christ. But God, in our Lord
Jesus Christ was aware of our weaknesses and thus he cautioned Peter. What
happened?
Mat 26:51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his
hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote
off his ear.
Mat 26:52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for
all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Commentary:
Apostle Peter was being as bold and relentless as could be expected of a
soldier of Christ. We must appreciate here that at no time has any follower of
our Lord Jesus Christ been associated with violence. But it may seem here that
Apostle Peter was trying very hard to prove how loyal he will be to God, but he
missed the mark.
Mat
26:69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying,
Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
Mat 26:70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
Mat 26:71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and
said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
Mat 26:72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
Mat 26:73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to
Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
Mat 26:74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And
immediately the cock crew.
Commentary:
What happened now? Overtaken with fear as do happen to most believers, the
Apostle capitulated. In this state, what can be expected of any of them to do
knowing that they will soon be witnessing their Master being nailed to the
Cross and helplessly succumbing without a fight, for the scripture has to be
fulfilled. Naturally, they were not with understanding that our Lord Jesus
Christ has to die for the redemption price to be paid. The Holy Ghost will
teach them this later.
I need
not over-emphasized that with whatever commission one receives from our Lord
Jesus Christ, the need for the Holy Ghost (which is Jesus Christ himself) to
dwell in you becomes paramount. The Holy Ghost portrays the presence of the
Redeemer as power source wherever you are. As God proposed to dwell in Adam and
Eve, the invitation to all believers is to prepare their hearts for God in The
Holy Ghost (Jesus Christ) to dwell in them. The presence of Jesus Christ in
form of Holy Ghost in us will direct, strengthen, remind us and many more of
what we need to do to bring us closer to God. The fear of grieving the Holy
Ghost in us will protect us from sinning. As “fire/power” source, with the Holy
Ghost, we are able to fight off all demonic attacks and desires of the flesh.
Pe 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to
reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished
It
must be borne in mind that we are able to access The Holy Ghost who in actual
fact is same Jesus Christ now returned in Spirit only after we have been
reconciled to God through The Word that became flesh in our Lord Jesus Christ
and on path to our redemption. A very long windy statement – your path to life
should be shorter. Sadly, it is not a case of once saved always saved. Does
this sound confusing? It should not. Please compare and contrast these two
scriptures:
Joh
16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all
truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that
shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Joh 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for
what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
The
Holy Spirit will speak only whatsoever he shall hear, and our Lord Jesus Christ
will do nothing of himself, but what he seeth. One and the same person! And so,
the focal point in the life of any living human being for everything that comes
from God is our Lord Jesus Christ and all others will be added.
OTHER
SCRIPTURES TO READ
Joh 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
Joh 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I
in you.
2Cor 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty.
The
presence of the Holy Ghost (Jesus Christ) in us will enable us to live a
wholesome and godly life, thus keeping us far away from the clutches of the
Devil.
Eph
4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is
good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the
day of redemption.
Eph 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil
speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Eph 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
The
Holy Ghost is also a consuming fire:
Deu
9:3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over
before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them
down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly,
as the LORD hath said unto thee.
Heb 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Commentary:
The Holy Ghost clears our path of obstacles, seen and unseen. We can access the
Holy Ghost when we are reconciled with God through the Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ in the Holy Ghost becomes a permanent resident in us.
The
point being stressed here is that The Lord or Jehovah God of the Old Testament
, took human form and came to be known as Our Lord Jesus Christ. Then Our Lord
Jesus Christ about to leave the disciples promised to dwell in them as Holy
Ghost as only God can do.
AND SO
WHAT ABOUT “LET US” USED IN CREATION?
Would any reasonable person prefer to hold on to a straw in the face of a
raging torrent? What purpose will that serve? Let us consider some few
scriptures:
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them.
Commentary: Please note that the pros changed from “let us” in verse 26 to God
created in verse 27 and “after our likeness” to “his own image”. Is it God’s
talk?
Is it a case of “Me, myself and I? Is it a case of Christopher Columbus
discovered America (alone?) Edmund Hillary and Mount Everest? The Wright
Brothers and the first aeroplane? I still remember how many millions of times,
I have referred to myself in the third person. Million times, individuals have
urged themselves on in the plural “let’s go”. All these may sound pleasing to
the ear but being apologist for God?
The
Lord in the company of three is referred to as if alone. Really must the Lord
be answerable to mortals for every term he uses? How would you explain cloning
to first century fisherman? What are the chances, they will understand?
Gen
11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children
of men builded.
Gen 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one
language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from
them, which they have imagined to do.
Gen 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they
may not understand one another's speech.
Gen 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the
earth: and they left off to build the city
Question: Did the Lord come down alone ( verse 5) or in company (verse 7)?
Gen
18:1 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the
tent door in the heat of the day;
Gen 18:2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him:
and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself
toward the ground,
Gen 18:16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham
went with them to bring them on the way.
Gen 18:17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
Gen 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great,
and because their sin is very grievous;
Gen 18:21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether
according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
Gen 18:22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom:
but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Question: Did the Lord appear to Abraham alone or in company of two other
Angels? Does God have to visit Sodom to know? Or God talk?
The
issue gets very confusing when we re-visit
Isa
44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb,
I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone;
that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
The
answer is here:
Joh 5:37 “ And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of
me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.”
Commentary:
And so what if “I AM he?”, who is standing in front of you now?
Joh
10:38 “But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may
know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.”
Commentary: He is in His Father?
Here
is the Key:
Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my
words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our
abode with him.
Commentary:
The reader is no doubt certain up this point that Jesus Christ is in God. When
God manifested in the flesh, the flesh became a Son Heb 1:5 For unto which of
the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?
And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Now our Lord Jesus Christ is telling us “we will come...”. This is an
expression of grandeur because Jesus Christ has not got a separate personality
from God after He dropped the flesh on earth. He is the Father, the only
language humans will understand whilst on Earth is for Him to use the term Son
which is clearly understood by the Pharisees as meaning God.
Further
points to consider:
Isa 49:4 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for
nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with
my God.
Isa 49:5 And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his
servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall
I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.
Commentary:
Are these two chapters referring to a separate Lord and a separate God or
referring to one and the same Lord as God?
1. God
does not need to speak strictly and officially all the time. We are his
creation – not that He will report to us for understanding. We have to reach
out to understand him. God speaks of Himself as if referring to someone else.
In guiding me in the compilation of this Booklet, He has used all manner of
illustrations. Do not let this phrase offend, please. Our Lord Jesus Christ,
revealed Himself to Saul of Tarsus (Apostle Paul) as JESUS and quite
appropriately because Saul was persecuting the Christians back then. To me, He
revealed himself as “JEHOVAH” perhaps because of my background as former
Jehovah Witness, to others as I AM. If I do not understand what our Lord Jesus
Christ says to me in my Dreams, I ask for explanation. He want to save our
lives, not to take it. When rebuking Satan, he said:
Zec 3:2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the
LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of
the fire?
Commentary: Which Lord was going to rebuke Satan?
GOD SWEARS AND REBUKES BY HIMSELF. THE ONLY TRUE DELIVERER HAS TO BE HIMSELF!
Gen 22:15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the
second time,
Gen 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou
hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son
I will finally take you back to how our Lord Jesus Christ answered the
Pharisees and how he answered his disciples:
Joh
10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for
blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Joh 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are
gods?
Joh 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the
scripture cannot be broken;
Joh 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the
world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
Commentary: Should we assume that our Lord’s position here seem like He was
denying being equal or same with God? Certainly not. He was re-affirming his
status as God and the Jewish leaders were understanding him. The important
point we must never overlook was the audience (The Jewish leaders). They
understood perfectly what He was implying. Ordinary bystanders will see nothing
complicated about what he was saying, but the Pharisees understood perfectly.
Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin
shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Then
when The Apostle Phillip pressed him about the Father, He answered:
Joh
14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Joh 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast
thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how
sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Joh 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the
words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth
in me, he doeth the works.
Joh 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else
believe me for the very works' sake.
Commentary:
Again, please bear in mind the audience. “hast thou not known me, Phillip?” Do
you realize how over-whelming the evidence is to support the fact that our Lord
Jesus Christ is in The Father, hence He is The Father being revealed to you
today as was back then.
In Him is life, our eternal life free from the tentacles of Satan forever more.
What
About Scriptures that portrays two clear distinctive personalities
Dan
7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with
the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him
near before him.
Dan 7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all
people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting
dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be
destroyed.
In
prophetic vision Prophet Daniel saw what was the fulfilment at Mathew 28:18.
This transferral of power from The Father to the victorious Son (Redeemer) is
what was prophesied above. Please do not overlook the fact that before Christ
coming to die for mankind power over death rests with the devil not Jehovah
God. Heb.2;14
God, in our Lord Jesus Christ re-asserting his authority without Satan’s
challenge. The picture was not about The Father surrendering power to His Son,
another God. That will be in violation of God’s own statement:
Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have
chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me
there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Isa 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
He
said no God will be formed after him and certainly no saviour beside him. The
transferral of power was being played for human understanding but not two Gods.
This
then leads us on to another crucial scripture:
Will there be a handing over ceremony after the 1000 year of Christ?
1Co
15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God,
even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and
power.
1Co 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1Co 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all
things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all
things under him.
1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son
also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be
all in all.
Is
there going to be some handing over ceremony after a stipulated time?
Certainly, not. I was writing an article of the Sons of God saying Our Lord’s
Model Prayer. The Lord Jesus corrected me. In my Dream, it was raining heavily
and I came to my front door and opened it. Then I saw some men and young boys
bathing with the rainwater from the rooftop. I, then said “Oh, The Sons of
God”. I closed the door and then I woke up. I prayed to God to help me with understanding
of the Dream. Then he gave me a second Dream. I was washing mangoes in a bowl.
When the bowl was tilted, I found that I was using dirty water to wash the
mangoes. I immediately understood even the first Dream. Our Lord’s Prayer was
for sinners who among other things, must ask for the forgiveness of their sins.
The sons of God have no sin and therefore cannot pray Our Lord’s Prayer.
In the scriptures above, after the 1000 year reign of our Lord Jesus Christ
(Redeemer) he will bring all mankind to perfection, that is those that will be
saved. They will therefore have no more need of a Redeemer. The role of
Redeemer modelled by the Son will no longer be required. It is important that
we remember that it is still God ruling (Everlasting King) but the 1000 years
is for purification for earth inhabitants therefore the ransom of the Son
outfit is required to achieve the purpose. After full restoration and death has
been done away with and no more Satan, there will no longer be the need of a
Redeemer. The role of God as Son, a Redeemer will cease all he will simply be
Father of all his children. It is complete reversal of Dan 7: 13-14 and Mathew
28: 18. No other God is involved. It is just God still modelling Father and Son
(Redeemer) roles. At this point the purpose of the Trinity has been served.
This
dual role of Jehovah God(His name from Ancient times) and Our Lord Jesus Christ
(His other name) has been played throughout the Old Testament and into the New
Testament to conceal the real identity of God when he come to redeem mankind,
which will spell the death of the devil. This was done for our sake and
thankfully, the devil was not able to figure it out. The Holy Ghost which
clearly confirms that Our Lord Jesus Christ never left his disciples alone and
he is still with us to the end has equally not been understood.
It
pleases Our Lord Jesus Christ to reveal it now and he visited me in my Dream
and gave me “a Key” with a command to Open it. He gave me the understanding and
guided me throughout the compilation of the brochure. This understanding is not
available any where else. It is the Truth revealed about the Trinity – The
mystery of God, in Our Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Ghost even provided me with
scriptures to back statements I have written.
At commencement of this piece, I have never for a day considered the subject of
Trinity. For 35 years I was a Jehovah’s Witness and ten of those years, I was
an Elder in London Dalston Congregation until I stopped associating in 2000.
Being heavily indoctrinated in the separateness of The Father, The Son, and The
Holy Ghost, I could never ever have come up with this revelation. All glory
goes to the Holy Ghost for this revelation to mankind.
