D-5. ARE THERE TWO GODS?


Does the Bible ITSELF teach us that Jesus is God?

Yes, Jesus is called God in the Bible both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament. We will cover those verses in a moment.

Does the Bible ITSELF teach us that Yahweh the Creator is God?

Yes, over 7000 times Yahweh is spoken of as being THE Almighty Creator God in the Old Testament. And many, many times the Father is clearly identified as being God in the New Testament.

So then, does the Bible ITSELF teach us that there are TWO Gods?

Absolutely, the Bible itself clearly teaches us in SIMPLICITY that there are TWO separate persons or beings who are both called by the TITLE of God. The Father is called God and His Son, Jesus, is called God. And, according to the Bible ITSELF, they are indeed distinctly different and separate persons from each other where the Father is NOT the Son and the SON is NOT the Father. Again, we will cover some of those verses shortly, but if you are a Christian reading this study in God’s word, the Holy Bible, then you may or may not already know that what I just stated above is plainly and clearly written in the Bible in SIMPLICITY.

For those of you who may NOT know that the Bible itself teaches us of TWO Gods who are one in UNITY, then here is a way that you can understand this sound Biblical truth. The word, the term, or the name God is simply a TITLE just like the term, word, or name King is a TITLE and the word “Lord” is a TITLE.

Here are two verses that I myself believe are referring to the INVISIBLE God, Yahweh the Father, as being the Eternal King who the King of all kings that He Himself SET to be his kings to rule over different parts of His kingdom.

 

1 Timothy 1:17.  

 

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, INVISIBLE, the ONLY wise God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. 

 

1 Timothy 6:15.  

 

“Which in his times (Speaking of the first and second comings of Jesus) he shall show, who is the blessed and ONLY Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 

16. Who ONLY has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man has seen, nor can see: (Or who is INVISIBLE and no MORTAL man can see) to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.”

 

Now, some Christians see the phrase “the King of kings and the Lord of lords” and they immediately interpret verse 15 OUT of its CONTEXT and argue that Jesus is showing HIMSELF to BE the immortal invisible God in the FLESH. But that is NOT what verse 15 is teaching us. Jesus came to show us the FATHER to be the ONLY TRUE God and the Son of God as being the Messiah that the Father raised up from among the people that God SENT or COMMISSIONED, according to John 17:1-3. 

Now we know from Philippians 2:8-11 that Jesus was GIVEN a NAME that is higher than any other name. I personally believe Yahweh gave Jesus His own personal name, Yahweh. We can talk more on this point later. But my point right now is that Yahweh gave Jesus the SAME TITLE of King of kings and Lord of lords that Yahweh Himself has to His Son ALSO. Yahweh the Father ALONE will always be the ETERNAL King of His Son whom He Himself highly exalted to BECOME the King of kings to rule over the earth in the world yet to come. Jesus will be ruling FOR Yahweh in the NAME OF Yahweh for ONLY 1000 years UNTIL the Father has put all the enemies under the feet of Jesus. And then Jesus will step down as the God over the earth and commit the ruling a King of kings back into the hands of His God and Father the ETERNAL King of kings and Lord of lords. So then, in that SENSE there is ONE Kingdom with TWO rulers or TWO Gods working together in unity as ONE toward the same end goal, which is to judge Satan and the fallen angels guilty as charged, and to save as many humans who BELIEVE. 

Again, I will fill in the details to explain all of what I just said as you continue reading this sound Biblical study in God’s word. I do NOT teach church TRADITION here at AMatterOfTruth.com. But rather, I only teach the WHOLE word of Almighty God left in its CONTEXT and interpreted in the LIGHT of the rest of God’s word carefully COMPARING Scripture with Scripture to make absolutely sure that I am teaching the SAME SOUND Biblical doctrine that Jesus and his Apostle taught. Please read Revelation 19:16 where Jesus is ALSO called by the NAME or TITLE of King of kings and Lord of lords.

 

Revelation 19:16. 

 

“And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a NAME written KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” 

 

Now, Jesus was GIVEN the NAME King of kings and Lord of lords AFTER the cross and resurrection. For you see, Jesus himself teaches us that he was BORN to be the King of Israel. And prophecy teaches us that Yahweh SET His Son Jesus to be His King over the earth during the world to come for ONLY 1000 years.

So then, we have Yahweh the Father having the TITLE or NAME King of kings and Lord of lords who is the ETERNAL King. And then, we have Yahweh's Son who was GIVEN the SAME TITLE or NAME King of kings and Lord of lords after the cross and resurrection. And anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear can plainly see that the Father and His Son, Jesus, are TWO SEPARATE persons or beings from each other BUT they are ONE in AGREEMENT. The VISIBLE King of kings and Lord of lords, the IMAGE of Yahweh the Father was MADE both Lord and Messiah after the cross and resurrection, according to Acts 2:36. 

Now, seeing that the Bible ITSELF teaches us that Jesus was MADE Lord and the he was HIGHLY exalted to be SET as Yahweh’s King AFTER Jesus was BORN, then that proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that Jesus did NOT pre-exist as the ETERNAL King who ALONE in the Father. For you see, the ONLY TRUE God was never BORN and Jesus was BORN to be King, according to John 18:37 and Matthew 2:2.

 

John 18:37.

 

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Are You a KING then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a KING. To this END was I BORN, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, (In other words, Jesus came into the world by being BORN of a woman to become the King of the Jews, according to Matthew 2:2) that I should bear witness unto the TRUTH. Every one that is of the TRUTH hears my voice.”

Now, let us read Matthew 2:2 and then I will point out some things that some Christian read right over without truly seeing what these verse of Scripture are teaching us.

 

Matthew 2:2.

 

“Saying, Where is he that has been BORN King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”

 

Now, the word “BORN” is a SIMPLE word that clearly means that the one BORN did NOT exist until after he or she was BORN. In other words, a child can “pre-exist” in the MIND of the parents but the child itself does not ACTUALLY exist until the child is BORN.

So then, seeing that Jesus said that he was BORN to be the King of Israel, then that means that Jesus is NOT the ETERNAL King Himself. But rather, Jesus was PROPHESIED to be SET as Yahweh’s King on His holy hill called Zion, according to Psalms 2:6-12. And in Psalms 89:1-52 we see another PROPHECY that teaches us in simplicity that Yahweh will EXALT His FIRST BORN Son HIGHER than the kings of the earth. Let us go ahead and read Psalm 89:6,8,13,16-27 which is clearly a prophecy of Jesus. I did not quote all 52 verses because I want these verses that I do quote to stand out. Notice that there are TWO different beings referred to by the pronoun “WHO”. The first being is Yahweh the Creator and the second being is a PROPHECY of Jesus being COMPARED to as being LIKENED to Yahweh, the Almighty.

 

Psalm 89:6,8,13,16-27.

 

“6.  For WHO in heaven can be compared unto the LORD? Who among the SONS of the mighty (Or WHO among the SONS of the Almighty) can be LIKENED unto the LORD?...(Notice that the SONS of the Almighty are in the PLURAL. So this verse is asking if any of the angelic beings are worthy to be LIKENED to Yahweh, the Almighty? And the answer is no! In other words, Yahweh is PROPHESYING WHO His CHOSEN one to be EXALTED to become His King will be) 

…13.  You have a mighty ARM: strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand… (According to other verses of Scripture, Jesus is prophesied to become the ARM of Yahweh, WHO will rule FOR Yahweh. See Isaiah 40:10, Isaiah 53:1, and John 12:23)

…16.  In Your NAME shall they rejoice all the day: and in Your RIGHTEOUSNESS shall they be exalted. (Jesus was GIVEN a NEW NAME above every NAME after the cross and resurrection, according to Philippians 2:8-11. And Jesus is also Yahweh’s RIGHTEOUSNESS)

17.  For you are the glory of their strength: and in your favor our HORN shall be exalted. (The Hebrew word translated as “HORN” in this verse also means corner, peak, POWER, and cornet. And the word “cornet” also means RANK. So then, because of what Jesus did on the cross, we who BELIEVE in Jesus, shall also be EXALTED in RANK and in POWER. This verse can also be interpreted as our horn, Jesus, shall be EXALTED. Both interpretations agree with the rest of God’s word. Now notice the TWO separate beings in the next verse. One is Yahweh Himself and the other is a PROPHECY of Jesus being the Holy one who will be our King. Remember verse 6 where none in heaven are compared to or likened to Yahweh. In other words, the QUESTION concerning the pronoun “WHO” in HEAVEN of the SONS of El or SONS of the Almighty can be compared or likened to Yahweh, the Almighty. Again, the answer is NONE of the sons of God in heaven because God has CHOSEN His FIRSTBORN Son to be EXALTED to be higher that the kings of the earth)

18.  For the LORD is our defense; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. (Yahweh is the Father, the ETERNAL King and the Holy One of Israel is a PROPHECY of God’s Messiah being EXALTED to become our King)

19.  Then YOU spoke in VISION to YOUR holy one, and said, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have EXALTED one chosen OUT of the PEOPLE. (In other words, God did NOT chosen any in HEAVEN to be His King, but rather, Yahweh CHOSE one out of the PEOPLE or out of the HUMANS that He prophesied to EXALT above the kings of the earth)

20.  I have found David My SERVANT; with My holy oil have I ANOINTED him: (King David is a SHADOW or a FIGURE of Jesus, according to Acts 13:33,34. Verse 20 teaches us that Yahweh has found His WHO that shall be COMPARED to and LIKENED unto Yahweh)

21.  With whom My hand shall be established: My arm also shall strengthen him

22.  The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him

23.  And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. (Speaking of  being FULFILLED during the world to come, according to 1 Corinthians 15:20-28)

24.  But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him: and in My NAME shall his horn be EXALTED. (Or in Yahweh’s NAME that Yahweh GAVE to His human Son, Jesus, shall his POWER and RANK be HIGHLY EXALTED above the angels, the SONS of God in heaven)

25.  I will SET his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. (The “sea” represents the wicked sinners and the “rivers” represent the saved and those who will be saved DURING the 1000 year reign of Jesus)

26.  He shall cry unto Me, You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation

27.  Also, I will MAKE him My FIRSTBORN, HIGHER than the kings of the earth.”

 

In other words, Psalm 89:27 is a PROPHECY of Jesus being the FIRSTBORN Son of Yahweh. And this PROPHECY was fulfilled by Yahweh at the cross and RESURRECTION of the Son of MAN, Jesus, the HUMAN Son of Almighty God according to Acts 13:33-41, Romans 1:3,4, and Revelation 5:15, plus many more verses of Scripture.

Acts 13:33,41.

 

“God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. 

Act 13:34  And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. 

Act 13:35  Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 

Act 13:36  For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: 

Act 13:37  But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. 

Act 13:38  Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 

Act 13:39  And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. 

Act 13:40  Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets; 

41.  Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a WORK in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a MAN declares it unto you.”

 

The TRUE Jesus of the Bible is the WORKMANSHIP of Yahweh the Creator.  Jesus was BORN to be EXALTED by his God and Father to be MADE Lord of lords and King of kings who will be ruling FOR the INVISIBLE King of kings and Lord of lords during the world to come for ONLY 1000 years.

Now the INVISIBLE Yahweh has always been the ETERNAL King. No one else made Yahweh King. But Jesus was BORN for the purpose to become the King of the Jews. Let us read those verses of Scripture again.

 

Matthew 2:2.  

 

“Saying, Where is he that has been BORN King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him.” 

 

John 18:36,37. 

 

“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of THIS world: (Or my kingdom is not of this PRESENT world or this present AGE, but of the world or AGE to come) if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. 

37. Pilate, therefore, said unto him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To this END was I BORN, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the TRUTH. Every one that is of the TRUTH hears my voice.” 

 

So then, in the OLD Testament, there was only ONE King but in the NEW Testament we now have TWO Kings but they are ONE in AGREEMENT and there are NOT two different kingdoms. Jesus will be ruling FOR Yahweh the ETERNAL King who has always been the ONE King before he begat him a Son. So what we have is ONE Kingdom where the Eternal King COMMITS all judgment into the hands of his NOW eternal Son Jesus whom he has highly exalted to become a King of kings over the kings of the earth but he is still yet under and subject to Yahweh his Father who alone has always been the ETERNAL King without anyone setting him up to become a King.

One kingdom, one purpose, one throne but TWO separate persons who are BOTH Kings. They are NOT one and the self-same BEING but two separate persons having the same TITLE of King where the first eternal King is the SOURCE of all power and authority who then GAVE his Son Jesus all power and authority to rule FOR him for 1000 years. Oneness Christians argue that Jesus and the Father are the self-same PERSONS but that is NOT what the Bible itself teaches us. The Oneness doctrine teaches that the INVISIBLE God made a VISIBLE IMAGE of Himself and that proves that Jesus IS the Father because the Bible always clearly identifies the ONE TRUE God as being the FATHER. But WE are being conformed into the IMAGE of Jesus and that does NOT make us BE Jesus.

NEITHER Oneness Christians NOR Trinitarian Christians even try to see that the Father and Jesus are two separate persons with the same TITLE of God. Satan is called by the TITLE god but not one Christian tries to FORCE Satan to BE Yahweh Himself as a manifestation of Yahweh. And that is because they KNOW and understand that Satan is ANOTHER god. So why is it so hard for some Christians to see that Jesus is a separate person from the Father who was GIVEN the TITLE to become a God to REPLACE Lucifer, aka Satan, as the God of the whole earth and NOT the God of the entire universe? Every Christian agrees that Jesus was MADE both Lord and Christ by Yahweh the Father, according to Acts 2:36. And all Christians agree that Yahweh made Jesus the King of kings, according to Psalms chapter 2. And by the way, WE will be made the kings under Jesus who will rule WITH Jesus during the 1000 year reign of Jesus. And we who shall be MADE kings over the MORTAL kings of the earth by Jesus does NOT mean that we are Jesus himself or even equal with Jesus.

Nebuchadnezzar was called by the title king of kings because God GAVE him the kingdom. But that does NOT make Nebuchadnezzar to be Yahweh Himself any more than Jesus being given the TITLE King of kings makes Jesus to be Yahweh Himself.

 

Daniel 2:37. 

 

“You, O king, are a king of kings: FOR (Or BECAUSE) the God of heaven has GIVEN you a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.”

 

And likewise, Yahweh has GIVEN His NOW eternal Son the right to sit on His throne to rule for Yahweh during the world to come for 1000 years as God of the whole earth having been GIVEN a NAME above every other name TO the GLORY OF the Father. Jesus was GIVEN the TITLE of King of kings and Lord of lords by the ETERNAL King and Lord, Yahweh the Father and creator of all.

Now, the word, term, or name “God” is also a TITLE and that is why the Bible makes the distinction between the Father and His Son by giving the TITLE of ONLY TRUE God to the Father alone and the TITLE of God to His Son Jesus. TWO separate persons or beings having the SAME TITLE of God does not demand that they are the SAME God. Rather, they are two separate Gods working together in UNITY having just one kingdom, one throne, and one purpose. One person or being who is called by the TITLE of God has always existed as the eternal divine being who is INVISIBLE to mortal humans. And the eternal invisible God goes by the TITLE of the ONLY TRUE God, the Father, the Almighty, the INVISIBLE God, the ONLY WISE God, the GREAT God, the INVISIBLE ETERNAL King, the God OF Jesus Christ, the God OF gods, God even YOUR God, the HIGHEST, and the Holy Spirit to DISTINGUISH the difference between Jesus being NAMED God after the cross and resurrected by his God and Father. 

So then, now under the New Covenant, during the age after the cross and resurrection, we have another person or being who is NOT the same person or being as the Father. But rather, Jesus has NOW BECOME a divine eternal being VISIBLE given the NAME Mighty God, according to the PROPHECY in Isaiah 9;6,7. And it is ALSO prophesied that mortal human beings who believe in Jesus shall ALSO be called by the TITLE of God who will be ruling WITH Jesus FOR the INVISIBLE only true and wise God for ONLY 1000 years in the world to come.

So yes, all the verses in the Old Testament speak of ONE God in ONE person, and hidden in some of those verses, are prophecies of a future God. The word translated as “BESIDE” me, also means APART FROM me or WITHOUT me there is no God FORMED, made, set up to be God or RULER. And there will be no need to ever form any other God after forming Jesus because Jesus accomplished all the will of God. Please read the study “OUR GOD IS ONE IN ONE PERSON!” for the in-depth meaning of the Hebrew word translated as “beside”.

The TITLE “God” simply means a Mighty One, a mighty ruler. Yahweh alone is the ONLY TRUE God who has always existed possessing immortality in himself who then GAVE the Son of MAN to be having the same divine nature of immortality in himself. Please read the three-part study “WHEN DID JESUS BECOME GOD'S ETERNAL SON? Part 1” for all the verses that prove that Jesus did not pre-exist in the eternity past as God the Son, the second person of a Godhead Trinity.

Now I believe that everything Yahweh creates, forms, or makes, he does so OUT FROM Himself which is Spirit. And everything God creates He does so by SPEAKING all things into existence. And this is HOW Yahweh MANIFESTED Himself to become everything that He becomes. In other words, everything is created OUT FROM God and Jesus said that he came OUT FROM God. 

So then, it was the word that came OUT FROM the MOUTH of God that was made FLESH in John 1:14. In other words, Yahweh created the flesh by SPEAKING His logos, His word, His SAYING, as in, His spoken word of PROPHECY. And whatever the SAYING of God is, then that saying BECOMES or comes into existence where it never existed before God SPOKE it into being. So to me, John 1-1 is a PROHECY of God manifesting a God to come into being by being BORN as a HUMAN child FIRST. And then that HUMAN Son of God is GIVEN to die on the cross. And then, after the cross and resurrection, God HIGHLY EXALTED His human Son to be MADE Lord and God. But that does NOT mean that what Yahweh MANIFESTS into being REMAINS the divine nature of Yahweh. No Christian would ever consider a tree to have TWO natures at the same time, one divine nature, and one tree nature just because the tree CAME OUT FROM God. Please read the study “M-8. DID GOD CREATE ALL THINGS OUT OF NOTHING?”

In Genesis, the SAYING was LIGHT and Yahweh manifested Himself to become light. God IS LIGHT but the LIGHT is NOT God. God became everything He created, but the creation is NOT God. And Jesus is a CREATION of God to BECOME a God under and subject to his God and Father the ONLY TRUE God, according to John 17:1-3. 

In John 1:1 the SAYING was God and the Yahweh manifested or PERFORMED His own word of PROPHECY to become a VISIBLE God who will rule FOR him for ONLY 1000 years. But FIRST, the word or the saying became FLESH to fulfill the prophecy in Isaiah 9:6,7 where a CHILD would be BORN first and THEN that Son of MAN would be given to suffer and die on the cross and THEN that Son of MAN would be given the NAME Mighty God to rule FOR Yahweh in the world to come for ONLY 1000 years. The PROPHECY in Isaiah 9:6,7 says WHEN the government shall be LAID upon his shoulder is WHEN Jesus will be CALLED by the NAME or the TITLE of mighty God and everlasting Father. In verse 7, we can clearly see that it is Yahweh who is PERFORMING His own word of PROPHECY. And it was Yahweh the ETERNAL King the only WISE God who alone and by Himself thought of all of this as His plan of salvation. Yahweh the Father spoke His plan of salvation, and it is Yahweh who brings the FULFILLMENT of His word of prophecy to pass. So Jesus is the FULFILLMENT of Yahweh's spoken word of PROPHECY. The word became FLESH just like Yahweh PROPHESIED that a CHILD would be born of a WOMAN.

Also, Jesus came in the NAME of Yahweh to show us the FATHER and not to show us himself to be Yahweh. And, as I said earlier, I believe that Yahweh the Father GAVE His very own NAME to this NOW eternal highly exalted firstborn Son among many brethren.

And that is why I honor Jesus even as I honor the Father because Jesus is WORTHY of this honor. My BROTHER died for ME. Jesus is our BROTHER.

God's word is SIMPLE to understand, but it is the doctrines of MEN handed down as church TRADITION that have COMPLICATE and CONFUSED what the Bible ITSELF actually teaches us in SIMPLICITY that does NOT require us to go against LOGIC and what makes SIMPLE SENSE to us.

So then, let us keep things SIMPLE and not make statements like it is a MYSTERY beyond human understanding. To me, if it is NOT plainly stated as a FACT in the Bible ITSELF then it must NOT be mandatory to be believed in order to obtain eternal life in the world to come because God did not have the Bible to be written to ONLY Bible scholars. But rather, God's word is written to the SIMPLE and it is written in SIMPLICITY. And thus, the Scriptures are NOT a mystery to us who keep things SIMPLE. And one simple FACT is that Jesus is NOT the Father. And since the Bible ALWAYS clearly identifies God as being the Father and the God OF Jesus, then the SIMPLE truth is that Jesus is NOT the SAME God as the Father who ALONE is the ONLY TRUE God according to the words of Jesus in John 17:1-3.

There are SOME Christians who sincerely believe with all their heart that Jesus is the Father Himself. The Oneness Pentecostal Christians believe that God is ONE God in ONE person. And they as Oneness Christians teach that God manifested Himself as the Son. And, therefore, to them, the Father is the Son and the Son is the Father. And thus, to Oneness Pentecostal Christians, the Father and His Son, Jesus, are NOT two separate distinctly different persons. This is their way of TRYING to reconcile the Father being CALLED God and Jesus being CALLED God, but in the Old Testament, there is but ONE God in ONE PERSON.

Now, the REASONS for WHY there are more than just one teaching of how Jesus can be called God and the Father can be called God is because in the Old Testament every single Christian can clearly see that there is only ONE God whose name is Yahweh forever as we are told in Exodus 3:15.

 

Here is a LITERAL Interlinear, word for word, translation of Exodus 3:15.


“And he is saying FURTHER Elohim to Moses (Or God Himself is FURTHER saying to Moses) thus you shall say to the sons of Israel YAHWEH has sent you Elohim of the father of you, Elohim of Abraham, Elohim of Isaac, Elohim of Jacob he sent me to you THIS NAME of ME for eon (Or THIS is MY NAME FOREVER) AND this REMEMBRANCE of me for a generation to generation.”


Or from generation to generation or for all generations. So then, from the words “he is FURTHER saying”, we can see that the Bible ITSELF teaches us that Yahweh was saying something ELSE to Moses in the preceding verses to answer the QUESTIONS, plural, as in, the TWO questions that Moses was asking God. And then from verse 15, we can see the TWO answers to the TWO questions that Moses asked God.

We see the ANSWER to the FIRST question that Moses asked God who was talking to him of what is His NAME, just in case the children of Israel ask me what is Your NAME. And God’s answer is that His NAME is YAHWEH forever and NOT I AM  or I AM THAT I AM.

Then we see that Yahweh addresses the SECOND question that Moses asked God by the phrase, “AND THIS REMEMBRANCE of me”, but we do not see the ANSWER to the second question in this verse as to who shall I say SENT me to the children of Israel. All we see in this verse is God's NAME being Yahweh forever which is followed by this curious statement “THIS REMEMBRANCE OF ME” from generation to generation. It is like God wants His children of Israel to REMEMBER something so that in the future they could SEE something and understand that Jesus is the MESSIAH that Yahweh Himself PROVIDED for them.

Now, we do see the answer to the SECOND question in verse 14 from other translations. And this is why I want you to read from the Septuagint translation, so that you can clearly see that the two English words “I AM” are NOT God’s NAME.


Exodus 3:14 for the Greek Septuagint.


“14. And God spoke to Moses, saying, I am THE BEING; and he said, Thus, shall you say to the children of Israel, THE BEING has sent me to you.”


Did you see that dear children of God? Did you see that the Bible ITSELF clearly states as a fact with no interpretation needed that it was NOT “I AM” that sent Moses to the children of Israel, but rather, it was “THE BEING” who sent Moses to Israel. In other words, the phrase “I AM” is NOT God’s NAME. Also, please understand that the phrase “THE BEING” is NOT God’s NAME either. For you see, it is in the NEXT verse that God tells Moses and us that YAHWEH is his NAME FOREVER.

In other words, Moses asked God TWO things.

#1. What is your NAME?

#2. WHO shall I say SENT me?


Now let us read the whole context altogether from the Bible in Basic English translation.

 

Exodus 3:10-15 from the BBE translation.


Come, then, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may take my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt. (In other words, Yahweh is going to DELIVER his people Israel OUT of BONDAGE and Yahweh is going to use his PROPHET Moses to DELIVER them out of the BONDAGE of Egypt. To say this another way, it was Yahweh who delivered the children of Israel by way of USING a MAN named Moses. Yahweh told Moses that he would MAKE Moses a God before Pharaoh. But Moses being made a God did not make Moses BE Yahweh Himself)

11. And Moses said to God, Who am I to go to Pharaoh and take (Or deliver) the children of Israel out of Egypt? (Or out of the BONDAGE of Egypt. Please read Exodus 13:3-10. “Exo 13:3  And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten. (So then, Yahweh wants the children of Israel to REMEMBER HIM as their DELIVERER who used a MAN, His PROPHET, who delivered them OUT of BONDAGE. And that the feast of Passover will be to them a SIGN to REMEMBER WHO is their DELIVER)

Exo 13:4  This day came you out in the month Abib. [The very day of Nisan 14 when the Son of MAN Jesus was slain on the cross to bring his people out of the BONDAGE of SIN]

Exo 13:5  And it shall be when the LORD [Yahweh] shall bring you into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.

Exo 13:6  Seven days thou shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.

Exo 13:7  Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days, and there shall no leavened bread be seen with you, neither shall there be leaven seen with you in all your quarters.[Leaven bread is a figure for false doctrine and unleavened bread is a figure or allegory for TRUTH]

Exo 13:8  And you shall show you, son, in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.

Exo 13:9  And it [the Passover feast day] shall be for a SIGN unto you upon your hand, and for a MEMORIAL between your eyes, that the LORD'S law may be in your mouth: for WITH a strong HAND has the LORD brought you out of Egypt. [Yahweh has TWO HANDS. One hand is his Holy Spirit and his other hand is His spoken word of PROPHECY that was MADE flesh to become the Son of MAN Jesus] Exo 13:10  You shall, therefore, keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.”]

12. And he said, Truly I will be WITH you; (Or Yahweh will be WITH the MAN Moses just as Yahweh was WITH the Son of MAN, Jesus. Yahweh also used a MAN, the PROPHET Moses, to deliver the children of Israel out of bondage in the Old Testament. And Yahweh promised Israel that he would raise up ANOTHER PROPHET among the people like unto Moses in the future who would DELIVER them from the BONDAGE of SIN and that His Prophet would be their ruler) and this will be the SIGN to you that I have sent you: when you have taken the children of Israel out of Egypt, you will give worship to God on this mountain.

13. And Moses said to God When I come to the children of Israel and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you: and they say to me, (Or they ask me TWO questions. QUESTION #1.) What is his NAME? (QUESTION #2.) What should I say to them?

14. And God said to him, I AM WHAT I AM: (Or more precisely, the LITERAL translation reads I AM or I shall become WHO I am BECOMING is what you shall SAY to them) and he said, Say to the children of Israel, I AM (This is NOT a correct translation as you have seen from the Greek Septuagint translation and what you will see in a moment from a LITERAL translation. These words should read SAY TO them I am BECOMING) has sent me to you. (So when Jesus said Before Abraham I AM Jesus MIGHT have INTENDED his words to be making reference to Exodus 3:14 as BECOMING the Messiah. Jesus had not YET died of the cross. Jesus still had to OVERCOME the TEMPTATION to NOT suffer and die such a cruel death on the cross. And that is why I love Jesus so much MORE now that I understand the TRUE Jesus of the Bible. Jesus is my BROTHER who could have said NO WAY, I am not going to lay down my life for those sinners. But instead, Jesus said not MY WILL, but Father, YOUR WILL be done! 

Jesus is the WORKMANSHIP OF Yahweh. Imagine God CONVINCING a mortal human to suffer and die for SINNERS when the human knew that he did NOT HAVE to suffer and die for sinners. BUT the human Jesus saw God's LOVE for ALL humans WHILE we were yet SINNERS. So then, the human Jesus fell in love with his fellow humans to obey his God and Father's WILL and NOT his OWN will. Is that not a greater love than an Almighty God Himself dying on the cross? First of all, in my mind an immortal God dying makes no sense. For how can an IMMORTAL God DIE. To ME, the LOVE that God has for His human creation is a greater love to see His human Son SUFFER and die than it would have been for Himself to suffer and die even if the eternal God could die. And when you ask HOW could an immortal God DIE, then both Oneness and Trinitarian Christians say that ONLY the HUMAN nature of Jesus died on the cross. So that means that  the DIVINE nature of God did NOT die on the cross and only the HUMAN nature of Jesus died on the cross. So they still do not have the DIVINE God dying on the cross. And at best they only have the HUMAN God die on the cross. So WHY try and FORCE Jesus to be the ONE TRUE God if the DIVINE God HIMSELF did NOT die on the cross? To learn WHO TRULY died on the cross please read the study “V-38. JOHN 8:24 IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE I AM HE!”)

15. And God went on to say to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, The Lord (Or YAHWEH), the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my NAME forever, and this (Or this I am BECOMING) is my SIGN to all generations.”


So then, YAHWEH is the TRUE NAME of God which Jesus NEVER said that he was Yahweh in John 8:58 when he said, “Before Abraham was I am.” Remember that all honest translations translate Exodus 3:14 as I am “something”  “I am THE BEING” or “I shall become WHO (Or WHAT) I am BECOMING” and no translation should say just the two words I am” as being God’s NAME. It is MEN who have INTERPRETED that the two English words, “I am” as being God’s name. Here in the link below is a short 4-minute video that proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that Jesus was NOT saying that he is the  Great I AM THAT I AM in John 8:58 when Jesus said Before Abraham I AM.

Here is a link to the video. Watch the video and come right back to finish reading this study because there is a lot more sound Biblical evidence that  Jesus is another God  MADE or become a God UNDER and SUBJECT to his God and Father who ALONE is the ONLY TRUE God. Click on the link below to watch the video.

 

JOHN 8:58 I AM

       

And here is a written explanation of Exodus 3:14,15 if you do not care to watch the video. Here is Exodus 3:14 in the Greek Septuagint. Now you do not need to read Greek to follow what I am saying. Simply know and understand that the two Greek words highlighted in yellow mean “I am”. These two Greek words convey the meaning I am SOMETHING. So the SOMETHING that God is saying that he is I will highlight in orange. Please notice that ὁ ὢν, which is the SOMETHING that God is saying that he is, appears TWICE. But the two Greeks words ἐγώ εἰμι meaning “I am” only appears ONE TIME. The English translation is below to help you follow along.

 

Exodus 3:14 in the Greek.

 

“14, καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ὤν. καὶ εἶπεν· οὕτως ἐρεῖς τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραήλ· ὁ ὢν ἀπέσταλκέ με πρὸς ὑμᾶς.”

 

Exodus 3:14 in English.

 

“14. And God spoke to Moses, saying, I am THE BEING; and he said, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, THE BEING has sent me to you.”

 

In other words, if Jesus would have said, “Before Abraham was,  ὁ ὢν” instead of saying, “Before Abraham was, ἐγώ εἰμι,” then the Trinitarian and Oneness Pentecostal INTERPRETATION of John 8:58 might have some validity. But Jesus did NOT say, “Before Abraham was, ὁ ὢν”. Or “Before Abraham was, THE BEING. Rather, Jesus said. Before Abraham was ἐγώ εἰμι” which again should have been translated as “Before Abraham was, I am [he]” with the IMPLIED or UNDERSTOOD pronoun [he] added for clarity just like the translators did in John 8:24. Or at the very least, it should have been translated as “Before Abraham was, I am [SOMETHING]”. And if it was correctly translated in this way to say something that Jesus is saying that he is then the meaning of these words of Jesus would mean that Jesus is saying, I am [he, the MESSIAH], because that is what the CONTEXT teaches us. For you see, the translators did, indeed, add the implied pronoun he in John 8:24 and I am simply showing you that Jesus says that SAME words ἐγώ εἰμι” in verse 24 that he says in verse 58. So why did the translators not add the pronoun he in verse 58 when they DID add the pronoun he in verse 24?  Most certainly, Jesus would NOT have changed who he is saying that he is. All through the Bible Jesus is said to be the MESSIAH, the SON OF God.

The plain simple FACT is that John 8:58 MUST be INTERPRETED because it does NOT state as a FACT that Jesus is saying, “Before Abraham I WAS Yahweh Himself.” Plain and simple, Christians have interpreted John 8:58 from the ENGLISH KJV translation I AM THAT I AM. So WHICH I AM is Jesus? Is Jesus the FIRST I AM? Or is Jesus the LAST I AM? Is Jesus the ὁ ὢν? Or is Jesus the ἐγώ εἰμι?  Is Jesus Yahweh Himself? Or is Jesus the who and what Yahweh BECAME by performing His own spoken word of prophecy? IF Jesus INTENDED his words in John 8:58 to be QUOTING Exodus 3:14 then Jesus is saying that he is ἐγώ εἰμι the who and what Yahweh BECAME and NOT that he is Yahweh Himself!  But again, it must be INTERPRETED that Jesus is QUOTING Exodus 3:14. And then it must be INTERPRETED that Yahweh REMAINED Yahweh when Yahweh begat Himself a human Son at the virgin birth of Jesus. Then it must be INTERPRETED that Jesus had TWO natures at the same time DURING the days of his FLESH. And then, ALL of those “INTERPRETATIONS” must AGREE completely with ALL of the other verses of Scripture in the Bible, which they do NOT agree with many other verses of Scripture. So then, when we read John 8:58 OUT of its CONTEXT, one can only ASSUME that Jesus is saying he is the LAST I AM of Exodus 3:14 because Jesus says ἐγώ εἰμι and NOT ὁ ὢν!

So another possible translation of John 8:58, seeing that there were no commas in the Greek text, would be as follows.

 

Another possible translation of John 8:58.

 

Before Abraham, I was to be

 

The order of Greek words in a sentence is not as important as the order of the words in an ENGLISH sentence. And this translation would agree with interpretation #1 where Jesus was PROPHESIED to be before Abraham ever came into existence.

The truth of the matter is that the translators should have added the English implied pronoun “he” to say, “Before Abraham was, I am [he].” just as they did in verse 24. And if they would have done so, then there would not have been any confusion as to the TRUE meaning of these words of Jesus. The words, “I am [he]” would have never been connected with the English TRANSLATION of Exodus 3:14 in the King James Version.

The true meaning of John 8:58 means that Jesus was saying, “Before Abraham was, I am [he that was prophesied to come into being]”. And this means that Jesus was saying that he is the Messiah as the CONTEXT clearly teaches us.

Therefore, to ME, I have concluded that since Jesus knew that the Scriptures testify of HIM, then Jesus understood that all the PROPHECY in Scripture was speaking of him coming into existence by being BORN of a VIRGIN without having an EARTHLY father. And thus, to ME, the INTENDED meaning of the words of Jesus in John 8:58 is that before Abraham was born I am [HE that was prophesied to come into being] which I have told you at the very beginning of my ministry being commissioned or ANOINTED by Yahweh to preach the kingdom of God to you. Jesus told the Jews that the prophecy in Isaiah was FULFILLED in their eyes, meaning that Jesus plainly told them in the very beginning that he is the MESSIAH.

To ME, Jesus is saying, do you not remember that I read to you from the prophet Isaiah and I told you that this prophecy of Scripture is FULFILLED in your ears and then sat back down and you murmured among yourselves saying Is this not the son of Joseph?

Please read the whole context in Luke 4:1-22 on your own which is right after Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist and the Holy Spirit came down from heaven to remain on the Son of man or DWELL IN the Son.

 

I will only quote Luke 4:1, 14-22.


“And Jesus being FULL OF the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan (From just being baptized), and was led BY the Spirit into the wilderness,...

….14.  And Jesus returned in the POWER OF the Spirit (In other words, the Son of MAN Jesus was ENDUED WITH POWER from on high having the eternal divine Spirit dwell in him. Please understand that ALL the FULLNESS of the Godhead did NOT dwell in Jesus until AFTER the CROSS. Jesus was not made in the express IMAGE of the PERSON of Yahweh until AFTER the CROSS. During the ministry of Jesus God ANOINTED the Son of MAN, Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power. And then God SENT His HUMAN anointed Son into the world. This is what the Greek word translated as SENT means. It means the Son of MAN was COMMISSIONED, endued with the POWER OF the Holy Spirit dwelling in him as the one who did the works men saw Jesus do. So Jesus now ANOINTED with the Holy Spirit and POWER returned from the temptation in the wilderness) into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round and about Galilee.

15.  And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. (As a MAN approved by God, that God was WITH him, went about healing all who were oppressed by the devil except his OWN home town)

16.  And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.

17.  And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, (Isaiah 61:1,2 and also read Isaiah 42)

18. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has ANOINTED me (Or he has filled me with his Holy Spirit and power) to preach the gospel to the poor; he has SENT (Or he has COMMISSIONED or has given me the power of His Holy Spirit DWELLING in) me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19.  To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20.  And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

21.  And he began to say unto them, This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears. (Jesus continues to keep on saying to them I am HE. But they did not understand WHO Jesus was saying that he is. Who are you, they asked in John 8:24? And Jesus ANSWERED them and said the SAME that I have already told you in the BEGINNING. Beginning of what? Jesus is referring to the very beginning of his MINISTRY where we can clearly see that Jesus is saying I am HE who was PROPHESIED in the Scriptures to come. The Scriptures testify of ME as the one PROPHESIED to come to DELIVER the people from BONDAGE to make them FREE. I am he, as in, I am the one prophesied to come to be the Messiah. And the Jews said to Jesus that they were never in BONDAGE. But Jesus was speaking of their SINS. This is the very CONTEXT of John 8:58. Please read the study “V-39. JOHN 8:58 BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS I AM!”)

22.  And all bare him witness and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?”


These Jews in his own home town wanted to SEE the miracles and not just hear about them before they would believe that Jesus was the Christ prophesied to come.

Let us keep reading Luke 4:23-30 and you will see that the Jews knew that Jesus was saying that he is the Messiah and that filled them with so much anger and they would have killed Jesus right there but God helped him escape out of their hands.

 

Luke 4:23-30.


“Luk 4:23  And he said unto them, You will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal yourself: (Or save yourself from off that cross. Psalm 22:1- 10. And you will also say to me) whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in your country.

24.  And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. (Here we see Jesus calling himself a PROPHET of God)

25.  But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months when great famine was throughout all the land;

26.  But to none of them was Elijah sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

27.  And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

28.  And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, (Some of the Jews hated Jesus so much that even when Jesus told them that he was the Prophet that was prophesied to come they wanted to kill him)

29.  And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.

30.  But he, passing through the midst of them, went his way.”


Now some Christians, meaning only a few Christians, say that Psalm 22 cannot be speaking of Jesus because in verse 6 he calls himself a WORM. But I myself see that this psalm is most definitely a prophecy of Jesus suffering and dying on the cross and then rejoicing at the end of this Psalm. For you see, when you look the Hebrew word up that is TRANSLATED as worm you will find that the Hebrew word also means CRIMSON grub whose garments are RED and the context is about the Messiah executing the WRATH of God.

 

Psalm 22:1-10.


My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?  (These are exactly the same words Jesus spoke as he was suffering and dying on the cross COVERED in his own CRIMSON BLOOD) why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

2.  O my God, I cry in the daytime, but you hear not, and in the night season, and am not silent. (Jesus knew from the VISION on the mount of transfiguration what God’s will was for him to accomplish and Jesus agonized in prayer to have this cup pass from him but in the end, the Son of man surrendered his OWN will to his God and Father’s will to submit himself to suffer and die a cruel death on the cross knowing all the while that he did NOT HAVE to suffer and die on the cross for our sins. Jesus could have said NO but because Jesus said YES Father, I surrender my will to do your will, makes me love him all the MORE!)

3.  But you are holy, O You that inhabit the praises of Israel. (The name Israel means he who shall rule as God. The name Israel is speaking of Jesus in this verse in prophetic language and at the same time it is speaking of the children of Israel)

4.  Our fathers trusted in you: they trusted, and you did deliver them.

5.  They cried unto you and were delivered: they trusted in you and were not confused.

6.  But I am a WORM, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

7.  All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

8.  He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. (Fulfilled by Jesus in Matthew 27:39-44, Mark 15:28-34, Luke 23:35-43.)

9.  But you are he that took me out of the womb: you did make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

10.  I was cast upon you from the womb: you are my God from my mother's belly.”


Again, the Hebrew word translated as “WORM” is a specific kind of worm that is RED or CRIMSON, the same color as BLOOD. In other words, Jesus was saying that he was covered in BLOOD and crying out to Yahweh saying My God, My God why have you forsaken me. I am a reproach of men and no man to them who have done this to me. Some say that Jesus spoke these words, so the Jews would REMEMBER Psalms 22 as a PROPHECY of the Messiah. Jesus did say that some of them would believe in him AFTER he was lifted up on the cross. So I can surely see this to be a meaning that does not contradict any other part of God’s word. If you read the rest of the Psalm you will see rejoicing which is what Jesus did after God raised the Son of man from the dead. I will just quote the last two verses.

 

Psalm 22:30,31.


A seed (Speaking of Jesus as the fulfillment of this and many other prophecies) shall serve Him (Yahweh); it shall be accounted (Or recounted or counted again. This means to relate back, back again. Basically, Jesus understands from ALL the accounts written of him that he will be raised again back from the dead) to the Lord for a generation. (Or and FOR a generation or an AGE speaking of the world to come, the 1000 year reign of Jesus)

31.  They shall come (All of us who are his SEED NOW in this present world who are found faithful unto the end and given eternal life shall come), and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, (AND) that He has done this.”

 


The “HE” here is speaking of Yahweh who is the FIRST AND who is WITH the Last who have done this TOGETHER. Please read the study “U-25. Revelation 1:17-I AM THE FIRST AND THE LAST” for a deeper understanding of WHY Jesus said these words, “I am the first and the last”?

I said all of this to say that NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE with God including for Yahweh to raise up a MAN among the people to be His Messiah to save the people from their sins. And then to GIVE a reward of INHERITANCE to His anointed servant for accomplishing this task of willingly laying down his own life to redeem the people from their sins.

I mean, to ME, just the mere FACT that Jesus has THE Almighty God Yahweh the Father OVER him where the Son is subject to HIS God and Father tells ME that Jesus is NOT the ONE TRUE God which both the doctrine of Oneness and the doctrine of the Trinity dogmatically demand that their followers believe if they want to be saved.

Well, I was also told by the Roman Catholic Church that I could NOT be saved if I ever left the Roman Catholic Church because they ALONE are the ONE TRUE church. And I had to overcome that FEAR that the Roman Catholic Church indoctrinated me with, that I would go straight to hell if I ever left the Roman Catholic Church. And in a like manner, I was ALSO indoctrinated that if I did NOT believe in the doctrine of the Trinity then I was NOT a true Christian and I would remain dead in my sins according to John 8:24. Please read the study “V-38. JOHN 8:24 IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I AM!” to learn the TRUE meaning of this verse when it is left in its CONTEXT. Jesus is NOT saying that he is Yahweh Himself. And to all Oneness Christians, Jesus is NOT saying that he is the FATHER.

After I saw the TRUTH that I would not die in my sins if I did NOT believe in the doctrine of the Trinity, I was set free from the BONDAGE of FEAR to QUESTION what I had been taught by the Orthodox Trinitarian church denominations and I saw that Jesus is, indeed, called God whom HIS God and Father SET in place as a God to RULE FOR him in the world to come. Here is a PROPHECY of Jesus where he will be CALLED the God of the whole earth in the world to come.


Isaiah 54:5.


“For your Maker (Your former, your molder) is your husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; AND your Redeemer (The Son of MAN Jesus) the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.”


This verse LITERALLY reads.


“The ONES possessing of you, ONES making, creating, forming, conforming of you, Yahweh of the host, name of Him AND ONE redeeming of you, Holy One of Israel, Elohim or God of ALL of the earth he shall be CALLED.”


 

So then, BOTH the Father AND the Son of MAN Jesus are the ONES, plural, who are conforming or creating the ALL who BELIEVE in God’s SON Jesus as their atonement for their sins. Jesus does not become the POSSESSOR of his people UNTIL Yahweh GAVE all who BELIEVE in his Messiah. So AS the Son of man and AS the NOW GLORIED Son of MAN, both Yahweh and the Son of God are CREATING the ALL who BELIEVE in Jesus as their Messiah to become God’s NEW CREATION who are CREATED in Jesus the Christ, the anointed of God.

 

This was PROPHESIED in Genesis 1:26,27.


“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 the whole earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27.  So God created man in HIS own image, in the image of God created HE him; male and female created HE them.”


Did you see that? Did you see the PLURAL pronouns in verse 26 and the SINGULAR pronouns in verse 27? Verse 26 is a PROPHECY of God’s yet FUTURE creation in the NEW Testament where ALL who BELIEVE in God’s SON are CREATED IN Jesus Christ to become God’s NEW CREATION. And verse 27 is HISTORY where God ALONE and BY HIMSELF created Adam and Eve. The TRUE sound Biblical meaning of Genesis 1:26 is that in HISTORY, some 6000 years ago and NOT in eternity past, God spoke to the ELOHIM or to the ANGELS while at the SAME TIME Yahweh was ALSO speaking SECRETLY in HIDDEN PROPHECY to His yet future Messiah that Yahweh would lead Jesus to read and understand that his God and Father needed Jesus to HELP FALLEN man back into the image of God. But this time, Yahweh TOGETHER with His FIRST-BEGOTTEN Son from the DEAD would make whosoever BELIEVES in the PERFECT IMAGE of God to partake of the DIVINE NATURE of IMMORTALITY. Please read the study “O-13. WHAT DOES FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE TRULY MEAN?” and for a better understanding of the BIG picture of WHY God needed to make Jesus a little LOWER than the angels please read the studies under the heading >>>Q-0. WHY ARE WE HERE-IS GOD AT WAR?<<< May I suggest starting with the study “Q-1. UNDERSTANDING WHY?” in this series of studies. This study answers questions like why does God allow suffering, which is a great ice-breaker to engage a conversation with the unsaved. You yourself may wonder WHY as well.

My point is that there is NOTHING in the PROPHECIES in the Old Testament where Yahweh is going to send down some God the Son from heaven to become flesh and yet remain fully and having TWO natures at the same time during the days of his FLESH, one divine, and one human.

But on the other hand, the Old Testament is full of PROPHECIES of God creating a MAN whom He will ANOINT with POWER. There are prophecies saying that God will raise up among the people a prophet like unto Moses to DELIVER the people from their sins. And this MAN that God created in the womb of a woman to become God's FIRSTBORN Son among many brethren would be made God’s King over the kings of the earth.

Let us continue with section 2 of this study on ARE there TWO Gods?



SECTION 2 - CAN THERE BE TWO GODS?


Can there be TWO Gods and it NOT be POLYTHEISTIC?

In other words, does Almighty God Yahweh HIMSELF see us, as Christians, as being polytheists when we worship and praise our God Jesus who is a God under Yahweh who created him to be a God to rule FOR him in the world to come ONLY for 1000 years? Well, the simple answer is a NO! And why the answer is no is because it is God’s WILL that we worship His Son Jesus EVEN as we worship the Father. To say this another way, if the Almighty God Himself decided to create a God for Himself in His OWN EXPRESS IMAGE and then COMMANDS us to worship and honor His created glorified highly exalted MAN whom Yahweh Himself MADE to become both Lord and Christ, then who are we to deny God HIS PLEASURE? In fact, Christians DISHONOR God by NOT worshiping Jesus EQUALLY with the Father. For you see, we are worshiping Jesus TO GIVE GLORY TO the Father because THAT is WHAT Yahweh desires. Some may argue and say how does worshiping Jesus glorify Yahweh the Father? Well, for one reason, Philippians 2:8-11 says so. 

But  there is more to it than just God making every knee in the world to come to bow at the NAME God gave to Jesus after the cross and resurrection. Think about the BIG picture of God creating Jesus LOWER than the angels for the purpose of JUDGING the fallen angels. Think about God creating an INFERIOR species of beings who will OBEY God and NOT rebel against Him like Lucifer and the fallen angels did. Think about after Jesus came to BEGIN if the FORM of God that he did not even think to take by FORCE to be equal with God like Satan did. Think about the fallen angels BLAMING God that it was not THEIR fault that they made war with Him. Thin about Jesus ruling over the earth having no wars for 1000 years. Think about Satan being let loose out of the bottomless pit after the 1000 years of PEACE with no wars and the first thing he does is to DECEIVE the nations to make WAR against God and His people. Think about God destroying the fallen angels BEFORE PROVING to all the good angels that God created Lucifer PERFECT on the day he was created. Think about how could God PROVE that what he creates is GOOD and it is NOT His fault that Lucifer made WAR against Him? 

And when you truly think about all those things and more then you can see God's plan of salvation is that if ONE single HUMAN made LOWER than the angels lived without SIN, then that would PROVE to the faithful angels that He has every right to destroy Lucifer and the fallen angels. Think about God judging Satan and the fallen angels for making WAR against God’s throne GUILTY as charged and God judging them by the MAN Jesus, an inferior species of being, made LOWER than the angels, who lived WITHOUT SIN as being God FAITHFUL and TRUE WITNESS. And think about that innocent man who laid down his own life of his own free will for the rest of the humans who BELIEVE that Jesus is the Messiah the SON OF the living God as being a just cause to redeem believers back to God.

Please hear the WHOLE matter because the Bible itself clearly teaches us that Yahweh the Father is indeed THE God OF His Son Jesus who are, indeed, TWO separate distinctly DIFFERENT persons from each other. Jesus is NOT the Father and the Father is NOT the Son. And, therefore, God the Father is NOT God the Son, and God the Son is NOT God the Father. They are TWO different Gods and NOT one and the self-same God. For you see ONLY Almighty God Yahweh always existed as ONE God in ONE PERSON and God the Son came into existence as a human who was PROMOTED to become a God AFTER the CROSS. One God is SUBJECT to HIS God and Father. They are different beings and they are different Gods. And Yahweh is THE God OF Gods long before the Son of MAN Jesus was highly exalted to become a God. They are two separate Gods UNITED as ONE in the way that a husband and wife are two separate persons UNITED as ONE.

However, there has never been any other God formed that Yahweh has given His GLORY to and given a name ABOVE EVERY other name except for Himself. Nor shall there ever be another God formed after Jesus who shall be so HIGHLY EXALTED as the Son of man, Jesus, is exalted to being second in command only having Yahweh the Father over him. God did this to show that even if he GAVE all power and authority to an INFERIOR creation and the creation does not even THINK to take by FORCE to be equal with his God then that is all the proof God needs to JUSTLY destroy Lucifer and the fallen angels.

So, after the 1000 year reign of Jesus having no WARS, there will be NO NEED for Yahweh to form any other God to such glory, because at the end of God's plan of salvation there will be NO MORE sin. Jesus is that RIGHTEOUS Son that Yahweh so desired after His son Lucifer rebelled and is making war against Him. Again, please read the study “Q-1. UNDERSTANDING WHY?” which answers many questions and one of them is WHY would God bind Satan for 1000 years and then let him loose again to deceive the nations one final time before God cast him into the lake of fire? To ME the only logical answer is that Lucifer, now called Satan which means the enemy of God, is on trial to see if it is just and right for Yahweh to cast him into the lake of fire to be destroyed. With that being said let us begin this section 2 by reading Deuteronomy 18:15-19 so you can see the PROPHECY of Jesus being a Prophet of God the God prophesied to raise up from among the BRETHREN of Moses or the chosen PEOPLE of Israel.

 

Deuteronomy 18:15-19.


“The LORD (Yahweh) your God will raise up unto you a Prophet from the midst of you, of your BRETHREN, like unto me; unto him, you shall hearken;

16.  According to all that you desired of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire anymore, that I do not die. (God’s people Israel were so terrified of ever hearing Yahweh's voice again that they spoke these wordsLet me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God” and Yahweh is giving them the desire of their heart so that they will not have to hear his terrifying voice again until they get to KNOW Yahweh the Father by seeing His LOVE in the person of His Son. In truth, Yahweh WANTED the children of Israel to ASK Him for a Prophet who would hear from God and then tell them what he heard from God. So the human Son of God was BORN to show us the true nature of CHARACTER of the Father)

17.  And the LORD (Yahweh) said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. (It seems that God has set some “rules” in place that HE must follow during this time of Lucifer’s TRIAL and one of those rules seems to be that God cannot influence a man to “rig” the trial so to speak to go His way. And thus, God needed a man to ASK Him first before He could give them what they asked for. Here we see God’s people asking or saying that they did NOT want to hear the VOICE of God anymore because his voice was TOO FRIGHTENING to them. And this is exactly what God wanted them to say so that He could begin executing His PLAN of salvation which He kept SECRET from His enemy from the foundation of the world)

18.  I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you, and will put MY words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

19.  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto MY words which he shall speak in MY NAME, I will require it of him.”


Blessed is HE who comes in the NAME of Yahweh. This is why Yahweh gave the children of Israel the THIRD and FOURTH commandments. The THIRD commandment so they would NOT take Yahweh’s NAME in VAIN to DENY the Son of man who would come in the NAME OF the Lord by denying Jesus as their Messiah. And the fourth commandment was given as a SIGN for the children of Israel to REMEMBER WHO is their DELIVER who bought them out of BONDAGE by the MAN, Moses, so that they would recognize the MAN, Jesus, as their Messiah that would make them FREE from the BONDAGE of SIN. But the nation of Israel as a whole took Yahweh’s NAME in VAIN by DENYING the Son of man, Jesus, who came in the NAME OF Yahweh. The unsaved Jews believed that Jesus cast out devils by the power of the prince of devils and NOT by the power of Almighty God.

The NAME Jesus is a transliteration of the name Yeshua that means Yahweh saves or the salvation of Yahweh. The word VAIN means to profit you nothing, useless, and producing no result. And denying God’s so great a salvation that comes ONLY in the NAME of Jesus whereby all men MUST be saved is DENY God’s offer of salvation. And thus, those who DENY God's SON make His salvation VAIN. They are taking the NAME of Yahweh in VAIN. Again, to those who DENY the NAME of Jesus who came in the NAME of Yahweh are breaking the THIRD commandment. And those who do NOT REST in Jesus as their TRUE SABBATH rest are actually BREAKING the FOURTH commandment. In others, the Seventh-day of the week Sabbath-keeping Christians are actually BREAKING the FOURTH commandment by KEEPING the WEEKLY Sabbath because they are not truly keeping the SIGN that the weekly Sabbath points to which is Jesus being the TRUE Sabbath REST.

Let us move on to the prophecies that foretold the BIRTH of the Son of MAN Jesus. Please notice the ORDER in which the events are PROPHESIED. The CHILD was prophesied to come FIRST and THEN he would be called the mighty God and everlasting Father in the world yet to come WHEN the government shall be LAID on his shoulders.

 

Please read Isaiah 9:6,7.

 

“For (Order of event #1 that has already been FULFILLED) unto us, a CHILD is BORN, (THEN comes Order of event #2 that has also already been FULFILLED) unto us a son is given: (Speaking of the HUMAN Son of MAN, Jesus as the Son given to be the ONE sacrifice for the sins of the world. Yahweh provided His own Lamb that was slain in the mind of God from the foundation of the world. God chose His Lamb to be made inferior to the angels so He made the human race a little lower than the angelic beings) and (And THEN Order of event #3 is YET FUTURE and it is YET TO BE FULFILLED) the government shall be upon his shoulder: (Which is the WRATH of God executed by Jesus. That is WHEN the kingdoms of this present world will become the kingdom of God's dear Son to begin the 1000 year reign of Jesus) and ( And THEN will come Order of event #4 that is YET FUTURE and it is YET TO BE FULFILLED WHEN the government will be set upon the shoulder of Jesus IN the world to come, at which TIME) his NAME shall be CALLED Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, (Or more precisely, according to Hebrew 5:9, the Father of everlasting life or the AUTHOR of eternal life. For you see, it was BECAUSE, OF the Son of man, Jesus obeying his God and Father's Will that Jesus made it possible for whosoever believes in him shall be saved. Jesus was MADE perfect and he BECAME the Father of eternal life AFTER the cross. For you see, the Son of MAN, Jesus, was GIVEN the authority and the power AFTER the cross to JUDGE and also to give eternal life to whomever he chooses. This is why Psalms 2 prophesied to kiss the feet of God’s Son whom He ordained to be his King of kings and Lord of lords. Jesus is also called) The Prince of Peace. (And, according to Revelation 1:5, Jesus is our Prince right now standing at the right hand of God, according to Acts 7:65. But at his second coming, Jesus will SIT on the right hand of Yahweh to rule and reign FOR Yahweh as the Lord of the Sabbath. And at that time, the kingdoms of this present world will become the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. And)

7.  Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”

 

Also, please notice WHO is doing the PERFORMING of His own spoken word of PROPHECY that came forth OUT FROM His mouth. It is Almighty God Yahweh the creator who is performing His own word. So to me, Jesus is the FULFILLMENT of the spoken word of PROPHECY. Jesus began as a THOUGHT in God’s mind as God's secret plan of salvation. Not just the salvation of mankind that He had not yet created, but also the RESTORATION of the entire universe back to being at PEACE having no WAR. God created the human race to put an END to evil. Please read the studies under the heading >>>Q-0. WHY ARE WE HERE-IS GOD AT WAR?<<<

Now let us take a close look at a few more prophecies to see HOW Yahweh will PERFORM His OWN words of PROPHECY. But first, let us read a few verses that teach us that it is Yahweh who PERFORMS the word that he SPEAKS.

 

Please read Ezekiel 12:25.


“For I am the LORD (Or I am YAHWEH): I will SPEAK, and the word that I shall SPEAK shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I SAY the word, and will PERFORM it, says the Lord GOD.”


Jeremiah 1:12.


“Then said the LORD unto me, (Or Yahweh said unto Jeremiah a figure or type of Jesus) You have well seen: for I will hasten MY word to PERFORM it.”


1 Kings 6:11-14.


“And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,

12.  Concerning this house which you are building if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I PERFORM My word with YOU, which I spake unto David your father: (Here we see Solomon who is building the HOUSE of Yahweh as being a type or figure of Jesus speaking to the Son of man, Jesus, saying that if he will obey all the will of Yahweh that Yahweh would PERFORM His spoken word of prophecy USING the Son of man to accomplish Yahweh’s word of prophecy)

13.  And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.

14.  So Solomon built the house, and finished it.”


Jesus is the AUTHOR and the FINISHER of our faith and Jesus is building the house of the Lord or more precisely the temple of God, the church of the FIRSTBORN.

 

Please read 1 Chronicles 22:9-12.


“Behold, a SON shall be BORN to YOU, who shall be a MAN of rest;(Speaking of the Messiah as the MAN of REST for the people to REST in HIM as their Messiah) and I will GIVE him rest (Yahweh is the one actually doing the WORK to bring all things under the feet of Jesus. See 1 Corinthians 15:20-28.) from all his enemies roundabout: for his NAME shall be Solomon (Meaning peace or peaceful. Remember Isaiah 9:6,7 and his NAME shall be CALLED Prince of PEACE), and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in HIS days. (A prophecy of the world to come where Jesus will bring PEACE to the earth and men will not learn WAR any more during his 1000 year reign of PEACE. Again, read 1 Corinthians 15:27 to see that it is Yahweh the Father who is doing the WORK of putting all things under the feet of His Son Jesus.)

10.  He shall build a house for my name, and he SHALL BE my son, and I WILL BE his father, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever. (Or for an age, speaking of the literal 1000 year long age of the reign of Jesus. See 1 Corinthians 15:28 to learn that Jesus commits the kingdom BACK into his father’s hands for his God and Father Yahweh to rule in the ages to come after the 1000 year reign of his Son)

11.  Now, my son, the LORD be with you; and prosper you, and build the house of the LORD your God, as he has said of you. (I cannot stress enough the importance of Yahweh being WITH His Son. This phrase is all over the Bible, especially in the New Testament of Yahweh the Father being WITH His Son by dwelling in the Son of MAN, Jesus, who could do NOTHING OF himself)

12.  Only the LORD give you wisdom and understanding, and give you charge concerning Israel, that you may keep the law of the LORD your God.”


I want you to notice in these passages of Scripture how God has hidden bits and pieces of prophecy concerning His coming into being as the Son but NOT is the way that the Oneness Pentecostal Christians teach. But rather, God prophesied of CREATING Himself a HUMAN Son void of any divine nature. And these hidden prophecies are even in the very genealogy or family lineage from which the Messiah would be born of a WOMAN. In this next passage of Scripture, you will even see a prophecy of Mary and how she will be famous in Bethlehem.

 

Ruth 4:11-17.


“And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the WOMAN that is come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel (Elizabeth and the Virgin Mary): and do you worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem: (Mary found FAVOR with God and he blessed the fruit of her womb)

12.  And let your house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give you of this young woman.

13.  So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.

14.  And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which has not left you this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.

15.  And he shall be unto you a restorer of your life, and a nourisher of your old age: for your daughter-in-law, which loves you, which is better to you than seven sons, has born him.

16.  And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.

17.  And the women her neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi, and they called his name Obed:(Server or servant) he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.”



So from the Old Testament, we can see the lineage of the seed of Abraham through the seed of Jacob on through the seed of Judah, Obed, Jesse, David, Solomon on through to Joseph and Mary. The whole lineage of Joseph is given to us in Matthew chapter 1 and the lineage through Mary is given to us in Luke chapter 3.

You see there is a different father of Joseph in Matthew than the father of Joseph recorded in Luke.

 

Matthew 1:16.


“And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.”


Luke 3:23.


“And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,”



So Bible scholars who have studied the lineage say that Heli is the father of Miriam or Mary or the Virgin Mary. Now let us read the prophecy that the Messiah would be born of a VIRGIN.

 

Isaiah 7:14,15.


“Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a SIGN; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (The disciples believed that Jesus came OUT FROM God, speaking of the VIRGIN birth where Jesus had no EARTHLY father. And if the rest of the Jews would have believed in the VIRGIN birth as the SIGN that God was WITH them then they would have accepted Jesus as the Prophet and Messiah prophesied to come. The name Immanuel means God WITH us. The word “with” means both FOR and present. God was WITH Jesus being both FOR Jesus as his helper and present with Jesus by DWELLING in the Son of man, Jesus. And being born of a VIRGIN was a SIGN to Israel that he, the ANOINTED MAN is their Messiah. Now any other INTERPRETATION of Immanuel meaning that Jesus IS Yahweh HIMSELF is their OWN PRIVATE interpretation which CONTRADICTS all the verses that clearly teach us in SIMPLICITY that Yahweh was WITH the Son of man, Jesus by DWELLING IN his Son.)

15.  Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.”

 

Honey in the Bible symbolizes delight, pleasant and sweet and butter is the meat of milk that speaks of the written word of God which is our spiritual food. Put them together and we have Jesus delighting in the TRUTH of God’s word that he hid in his heart to know to refuse the evil and to choose the good. 

In Jeremiah, we find a couple of prophecies of Jesus concerning him being CONCEIVED in the WOMB of a WOMAN.

 

Please read Jeremiah 1:4-12.


“Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

5.  Before I (Yahweh) FORMED you in the belly I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet unto the nations. (Jeremiah was ordained by God as a prophet to the ONE nation of Israel and NOT as a prophet to the nations in the plural but only to the one nation Israel. Also, notice that it is Yahweh who is the one who FORMED the Son of man Jesus in the womb and NOT God the Son formed himself in the womb or manifested himself in the womb or transformed himself in the womb or INCARNATED himself in the womb. Plain and SIMPLE, Mary BELIEVED the word of God sent down from heaven by the Angel Gabriel being the messenger of God spoken word of prophecy. And when Mary believed God word of prophecy saying, be it DONE unto me according to your word that word became FLESH in her womb CONCEIVED by the Holy Spirit. There was no so-called God the Son sent down from heaven who transformed himself as a fetus in the womb of Mary)

6.  Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. (I myself see Jesus reading this verse around the age of twelve and conversing with God. I mean it seems odd that all we are told in the New Testament is Jesus grew in favor of God at age twelve and Jesus told Mary that he must be about his Father’s business)

7.  But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: (So he went into the temple and God’s word flowed out of him to confound the teachers in the temple saying how can he know so much not having a teacher?) for you shall go to ALL that I shall send you, (Please notice that God sends His Son OUT into the world to ALL the places that God SENT the Son as opposed to God sent down His God the Son from heaven into the world) and whatsoever I command you you shall speak.

8.  Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with you to deliver you, said the LORD. (The Jews were not able to kill Jesus until the APPOINTED time when Jesus would lay down his life willingly)

9.  Then the LORD put forth his hand and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put MY words in your mouth. (Please read Isaiah 50:4-6 “The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he awakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as the learned.

Isa 50:5  The Lord GOD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.

Isa 50:6  I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.”)

10.  See, I have this day set you (Ordained you King, Lord, and God) over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

11.  Moreover, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what see you? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. (Isaiah 11:1; Hebrews 9:1-4. It appears God gave Jeremiah a vision and Jeremiah saw a stem or shoot of an almond tree sprouting up with buds like Aaron’s rod. It also reminds me of the rod of Jesse and the Branch which is another prophecy of Jesus. See Isaiah 11:1-16)

12.  Then said the LORD unto me, You have well seen: for I will hasten My word to perform it.”


In other words, Yahweh will hasten to PERFORM his OWN word of PROPHECY to bring it ALL to pass or to fulfillment. The Hebrew words translated as “hasten” means that Yahweh will never rest or sleep until He accomplishes His word of prophecy. It means Yahweh watches OVER His spoken word tirelessly to perform it. A few more prophecies and then we will go to the New Testament.

 

Jeremiah 31:22.

 

“How long will you go about, O you backsliding daughter? For the LORD has CREATED a NEW THING in the earth, A WOMAN shall COMPASS a man.”


In other words, Yahweh is prophesying that He will CREATE a MAN in the WOMB of a woman which will be a NEW THING on the earth. Something NEW has never been done before. God created the FIRST Adam out of the earth and God created the SECOND Adam in the earth or in the earthen vessel of the WOMB of a woman by His SPOKEN word or SAYING, or SPEECH coming out of His mouth. The Hebrew word translated as a man in Jeremiah 31:22 also means WARRIOR and mighty one. And the literal translation says, MASTER. In other words, this a prophecy of Jesus saying that a woman shall compass a warrior, a mighty one, or a master and that God CREATED him in the WOMB of a woman.

God’s Son was NOT born in the above or up in heaven in the eternity past, but rather, Jesus was born from ABOVE by the spoken word of God sent down from heaven by the angel Gabriel who SPOKE God’s word to the Virgin Mary. And when she BELIEVED God’s word she said be it done ACCORDING to your word and the Holy Spirit overshadowed her like in Genesis 1:1,2 and God’s word was conceived in her WOMB to become a Holy THING who would be called the Son of the Highest and the Son of God who was given the name Jesus which again means the salvation of Yahweh.


Here is a Bible commentary on Jeremiah 31:22.


[Strong's H5347], literally "A female ('one who is only a woman, not a wife, namely a virgin,' says Cocceius) shall encompass a man," or a male child. Comp. Job_3:3. Which, together with the addition of a new creation, may well be understood to denote the miraculous conception. Hence the Jews have applied it determinately to the Messiah. In Berashith Rabba (Parash 89) it is said, that as God punished Israel in a virgin, so would he also heal; and in Midrash Tillim, on Psa_2:1-12, R. Huna, in the name of R. Idi, speaking of the sufferings of the Messiah, says, that when his hour has come, God shall say, "I must create him with a new creation; and so he saith, This day I have begotten thee." Gen_3:15; Isa_7:14; Mat_1:21; Luk_1:34-35; Gal_4:4


There are a few more verses that can be seen as prophecies of Jesus being made, formed, and created in the WOMB. Here is one that speaks of Yahweh knowing him but he did not know Yahweh. And if so be that God the Son came down from heaven and became flesh then it would seem that he would have KNOWN Yahweh and would NOT have had to LEARN about Yahweh his Father.


Isaiah 44:2.

“Thus says the LORD that made you, and FORMED you FROM the womb, which will help you; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and you, Jesurun (The upright or righteous one), whom I have chosen.”

 

Isaiah 44:24.

 

“Thus says the LORD (Yahweh), your redeemer, (Who will not leave your soul in hell) and HE (Yahweh) that FORMED YOU FROM the WOMB, I am the LORD that makes ALL things; that stretches forth the heavens ALONE; that spreads abroad the earth BY MYSELF;”


Isaiah 44:28-Isaiah 45:1-8.


Isaiah 44:28. That says of Cyrus, He is MY shepherd, and shall perform all MY pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, You shall be built; and to the temple, Your foundation shall be laid. (Rest of CONTEXT in the next chapter Isaiah 45:1-8)

 

Isaiah 45:1-8

 

“Thus says the LORD to his ANOINTED, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loosen the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

2.  I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

3.  And I will give you the treasures of darkness, (The treasure of the wicked that are in vaults buried in the earth are laid up for the just) and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, which CALL YOU by your NAME, am the God of Israel. (The LITERAL translation reads “I Yahweh the one calling in NAME of YOU God of IsraelNThe word “am” is NOT in the original Hebrew text. So, to ME, I see this seeing that Yahweh is the one CALLING the NAME of you [to be] the God of Israel which agrees with Isaiah 54:5 where Jesus is prophesied to BE CALLED the God of the whole earth. And an already pre-existing God the Son would NOT be given a NEW NAME to be called the God of the whole earth or the God of Israel because he would have already been God. And in the next verse we see that Jesus did NOT KNOW Yahweh until Yahweh revealed Himself to Jesus  through the Scriptures when Jesus was a small child)

4.  For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called you by your name: I have SURNAMED you, though you have NOT known me. (The Hebrew word translated as “surnamed” means calling one by an ADDITIONAL NAME. In Philippians 2:8-11, we see that the Son of man was highly exalted for dying on the cross and given a NAME above every other name except for the name Yahweh. Now I myself see that Yahweh gave the Son of MAN his very own ADDED name of Yahweh similar to how we may name our son after the father to have the same first name as the father. And the only way you can tell the NAMES apart is by a prefix of Senior or Junior. For example, I have a nephew named Tom after his dad named Tom whose dad was named Tom, and my nephew named his son Tom. So in a conversation, we have to ask WHICH Tom are you talking about?)

5.  I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: (Now both Oneness and Trinitarian Christians INTERPRET this verse to mean that there has never ever been any other God except Yahweh. But the context teaches us that Yahweh can no longer TRUST the gods that He Himself SET in place to be mighty gods. So what Yahweh is actually saying is that He needs another god to replace Lucifer and the fallen angels, and until He PROMOTES Jesus to BE God of Israel there is no God EXCEPT Yahweh) I girded you, though YOU have not known ME:

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. (The Hebrew word translated as beside here also means WITHOUT Yahweh. And the Hebrew word translated as else also means FURTHER, as in, there is coming an END to the EVIL gods who turned evil by making WAR against God’s throne)

7.  I form the light, (Speaking Yahweh FORMING of Jesus and all the SAINTS who will replace Lucifer and the fallen angels) and create darkness: (Or more precisely, And I Yahweh CUT DOWN darkness speaking of Yahweh destroying of Lucifer and the fallen angels) I make peace, and create evil: (Or I Yahweh make PEACE to END this WAR for all eternity future when I CUT DOWN all evil and sin for all eternity future at then end of the Millennial reign of my Son, Jesus) I the LORD do all these things

8.  Drop down, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: (Speaking of the second coming of Jesus with all of his saints and army of angels to CUT DOWN EVIL and the high ones, the fallen angels) let the earth open, and let THEM bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it. ”




Isaiah 49:5.  


“And now, says the LORD that FORMED me FROM the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob again to Him, Though Israel is not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.”


All these verses are PROPHECIES that Jesus would be brought into existence FROM the WOMB of the Virgin Mary and that he would be CALLED the God of Israel and the God of the WHOLE Earth by NAME or by TITLE.

We read a Prophecy in Psalms where Yahweh speaks to ANOTHER God concerning his throne.

 

Psalms 45:6,7.


Your throne, O God, is forever and ever: the scepter of your kingdom is a right scepter.

7.  You love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore, God, YOUR God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness ABOVE your fellows.”


In other words, God has HIGHLY EXALTED the Son of man, Jesus, ABOVE all his FELLOWS or his many brethren, being made second in command having ONLY Yahweh Himself over him. No God was FORMED to the FACE of Yahweh before Jesus and no further God will be formed after Jesus to this HIGH position to sit at God's right-hand side on Yahweh's throne WITH Yahweh. The first commandment is there shall be no Gods BEFORE me which means no God ABOVE me and AGAINST me. And Jesus is NOT ABOVE or AGAINST Yahweh. There are many verses in the Old Testament that clearly teach us that Yahweh is THE God OF Gods. And Yahweh the Father is the God OF Jesus who is a God.

Hebrews quotes this Psalm of the Son of MAN, the Messiah being HIGHLY EXALTED referring to Jesus as the one who FULFILLED this prophecy.

So again, the entire Bible speaks of Yahweh CREATING Himself a God in his OWN IMAGE to rule FOR him during the SEVENTH 1000 year long DAY of Yahweh’s REST prophesied in Genesis 2:1-3 as can clearly be seen in the LITERAL translation.

 

SECTION THREE - WHAT DOES GOD OF GODS MEAN?

 

Here is a translation from the Greek Septuagint of Exodus 3:14 wherein the Greek text God says to Moses go and tell them THE BEING has sent you as opposed to I AM has sent you like the King James Version of the Bible translates the Hebrew text.

 

Exodus 3:14 for the Greek Septuagint.

 

“14. And God spoke to Moses, saying, I am THE BEING; and he said, Thus shall ye say to the children of Israel, THE BEING has sent me to you.”

 

So if Jesus intended his words to mean before Abraham was I THE BEING, then it could be interpreted as Jesus was saying that he pre-existed as YAHWEH HIMSELF, as in, the PLAN of Yahweh to bring into existence.

But when we read the LITERAL translation which says “I shall become WHO I am BECOMING then Jesus would be saying that before Abraham was I was becoming which agrees with ALL of Scripture where the PROPHETIC word was BECOMING flesh before the word of prophecy became FLESH. In other words, John 5:58 simply means that Jesus was saying that before Abraham, before Moses, before John the Baptist, and even before the FIRST Adam, Yahweh had in His mind and plan the SLAIN LAMB which I AM. Jesus was PROPHESIED to come into being or to be before anyone else. Please read the study “V-40. WHAT DOES JOHN 8:58 TRULY MEAN?”

Now going back to God’s prophesied yet coming Messiah being SURNAMED by Yahweh in Isaiah 45:1-5, I myself believe that the Son of man, Jesus was given his Father’s name Yahweh.

 

Please read Jeremiah 23:5,6.

 

“Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

6.  In HIS days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and THIS is HIS NAME whereby HE SHALL BE CALLED, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

 

Now the LITERAL translation reads And THIS NAME of HIM which HE shall call him Yahweh our Righteousness

 

So now you know WHY some Christians have made the error of forcing God’s SON to be ONE and the SELF-SAME Yahweh. They have failed to discern that there are TWO separate persons or being NAMED Yahweh. There are NOT two ONE TRUE God’s who are BOTH the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God. For you see,  there can only be the ONE Creator God who ALONE is the ALMIGHTY God the Father in ONE person. And it was the Father alone and by Himself who created the entire Universe and ALL things. 

So then, there has always been the ONE Yahweh who ALONE is THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God who is clearly and always identified as being the FATHER. And the other Yahweh is His SON whom the FATHER has highly exalted and has GIVEN His Son His very own NAME AFTER the cross and resurrection. For you see, the Son of MAN, Jesus, was highly exalted so that at the NEW NAME given to Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus or Yahweh our righteousness in Lord TO the GLORY of Yahweh the FATHER who MADE the Son of man, Jesus be both Lord and Christ.  And all of this is being PERFORMED by Yahweh the Father to END the WAR waged against Him by Satan and the fallen angels. And when God’s FAITHFUL and TRUE WITNESS rules over the earth for 1000 years WITHOUT any WARS and Satan is let loose again after the 1000 years of PEACE and he DECEIVES the nation to make WAR, then that is the final nail in the coffin of Satan that will convict him guilty as charged. And God will cast him in the lake of fire to be turned to ASHES. The END of all evil for all eternity future. Then Jesus will step down from ruling as God because Yahweh mission will have been ACCOMPLISHED

Now isn’t that much easier than three Gods in one God but NOT three Gods? And isn’t it easier than one God manifesting Himself as the Son where the Son is the Father and the Father is the Son and they are ONE person?

Is it not easier to NOT have to believe in a MYSTERY that is beyond human comprehension and simply believe the SIMPLICITY of God’s word of TRUTH?

Let us look at a few more verses to understand WHY Jesus said the words “I am the First and the Last”.

 

Please read Revelation 1:17,18.

 

“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:

18.  I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”

 

Now, there is no doubt that Jesus said these words of himself. So the question is was Jesus saying that he is Yahweh Himself meaning that Jesus was saying that he is the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God HIMSELF?

Or was Jesus saying I AM the FIRST AND I AM the LAST? Let me explain what I mean by this. We already know that the Son of man, Jesus was GIVEN to be having the divine nature of immortality, according to John 5:26,27. And we have already read several verses where Yahweh the Father was WITH the Son of man Jesus during the days of his flesh by DWELLING in him.

But NOW, after God raised the Son of man from the dead and GAVE to the Son of man TO BE HAVING the divine nature of IMMORTALITY in himself, we now see the Son of Man Jesus having the FULNESS of Yahweh the great I AM THAT I AM dwelling in His NOW, DIVINE ETERNAL Son Jesus whose SURNAME is Yahweh our Righteousness. We now see that the HIGHLY EXALTED Son of MAN will rule FOR Yahweh his God and Father during the SEVENTH 1000 year long DAY of Yahweh’s REST.

Jesus is still NOT one and the self-same BEING as Yahweh his God and Father, but Jesus is a God and he is OUR God NOW and in the world to come. And we owe Jesus everything. For you see, because of Jesus who OBEYED his God and Father, we too are made worthy to partake of the divine nature of immortality at his coming again. So Jesus is the FIRST and the LAST God the Yahweh will FORM to be GIVEN that much POWER and AUTHORITY.

Now let us read one last PROPHECY where Yahweh who is the FIRST says that he SHALL be WITH the LAST which shall be fulfilled AT the second coming of Jesus when God will JUDGE the world by the MAN whom he has APPOINTED.

 

Please read Isaiah 41:1-5.

 

“Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.

2.  Who raised up the righteous MAN from the east, called him to his foot, GAVE the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? (Now you know and understand from reading this study in God’s word that the who is speaking of Yahweh Himself and the RIGHTEOUS MAN is speaking of the Son of MAN Jesus) He (Yahweh) gave them as the dust to His sword (Speaking of Jesus being Yahweh’s sword or weapon in Yahweh’s hand), and as driven stubble to His bow.

3.  He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone WITH his feet. (This speaks of the AIR strike so to speak at the battle of Armageddon when Jesus returns in the AIR to execute the WRATH OF Almighty God the Father. Jesus is likened to the FEET of Yahweh like we are likened to the BODY of Jesus Christ)

4.  Who has wrought and done it, (ALL the GLORY goes to Yahweh the Father) calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD (Or I Yahweh the FATHER), the FIRST, and WITH the last; I am he. (The verb “am” is NOT in the original text. So this last phrase could read as I, he to mean I AND him)

5.  The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.”

 

So here is a deep saying, Yahweh is the Son of man but the Son of man is NOT Yahweh Himself. Now, HOW is it possible for God to be a MAN seeing that Numbers 23:19 clearly teaches us that God is NOT a MAN and neither is God the Son of MAN? To me, it is NOT possible, but it is possible for God to BECOME a man and NOT BE a man.

Go back to HOW does Yahweh the Father CREATED ALL things where we can see that God created everything OUT FROM Himself. Yahweh SPEAKS them into existence where they never existed before EXCEPT in the MIND, THOUGHTS, and PLANS of Yahweh who ALONE and BY HIMSELF has created all things. And the WORDS that Yahweh speaks are of His own divine nature which is Spirit. So essentially, God's spoken words are IMMORTAL words because that is what divine nature means, according to 1 Peter 1:4. Divine nature means immortal nature or eternal life.

Now, when Yahweh created everything else like a tree and an elephant, then God's LIVING WORD became a tree and an elephant but the tree and elephant are NOT Yahweh Himself nor do they have ANY divine nature of immortality. Every created thing came OUT FROM Yahweh but we all know and agree that no CREATION of Yahweh can be Yahweh Himself

So then, WHY do Trinitarian Christians dogmatically demand that John 1:1 must mean that the word is a SEPARATE divine eternal being who was WITH the God at his side and it was God the Word who created all things? And why do Oneness Christians dogmatically demand that when God created or manifested Himself to become Jesus that created Jesus REMAINED Yahweh?

It is because both groups of Christians have failed to keep the NATURE of Jesus within five DIFFERENT ages. Let me explain what I mean by this.

 

AGE #1.

 

Who was Jesus in the eternity past BEFORE the word became flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary?

 

AGE #2.

 

Who was Jesus DURING the DAYS of his FLESH beginning at when the word became flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary to the time when Jesus told Mary Magdalene to NOT TOUCH him BECAUSE he had NOT YET ASCENDED to his God and Father?

 

AGE #3.

 

Who is Jesus RIGHT NOW beginning right after the Son of man DESCENDED back down to the earth to show himself alive forevermore never to die again for forty days. And during that forty days Jesus gave them many proofs that he was alive again never to die again, And one of those proofs was for them to TOUCH or HANDLE that very same evening he told Mary Magdalene to NOT TOUCH him? 

This age #3 will last all the way up to the second coming of Jesus and OUR glorification to be like Jesus is now having a new immortal glorified body of flesh and bones never to die again.

 

AGE #4.

 

Who is Jesus DURING his 1000 year reign, which begins at the second coming of Jesus and ends after the literal 1000 year reign of Jesus has ended and the Son commits the kingdom back into his Father’s hands? Please understand that Jesus will ONLY rule for God over the earth ONLY for 1000 years and then STOP being God of the earth according to 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 and Micah 4:6,8.

 

AGE #5.

 

Who will be Jesus during the ages to come after the 1000 year reign of Jesus? These ages, perhaps plural, will begin after the 1000 year reign of Jesus and will continue on into the eternity future.

 

Now here are the five DIFFERENT ages again which I myself believe give us the correct sound Bible teaching of WHO Jesus was, is, and shall be in eternity future.

 

AGE #1.

 

Yahweh ALONE existed in the eternity past. Jesus only existed in the MIND, THOUGHTS, and PLAN of Yahweh to bring forth his Son and MANY sons and daughter into existence, where neither His FIRST BEGOTTEN Son nor His many begotten sons and daughters have ever existed before EXCEPT in the MIND, THOUGHTS, and PLANS of God.

 

AGE #2.

 

Jesus BECAME the begotten HUMAN Son of God created in the womb of the Virgin Mary by his God and Father. And around age 30, the fully human Son of man was CALLED and COMMISSION by his God and Father to go out into the world and preach the coming kingdoms in the plural, as in, more than one AGE of God's kingdom ages. The two Greek words translated as SENT mean that God was sending present tense out into the world and God commissioned or EMPOWERED the Son of man, Jesus, to be sent out into the world to preach the Gospel. There is nothing in the meanings of those two Greek words that mean a God the Son was sent down from heaven. There is no such phrase as “God the Son” or “second person of a Trinity Godhead” anywhere in the Bible.

 

AGE #3.

 

Jesus is NOW the HIGHLY EXALTED Son of man after having been GIVEN the divine nature of immortality TO BE HAVING in himself even as Yahweh the Father has always possessed immortality in himself ALONE. This means that at this present time the Son of man, Jesus, is the ONLY ETERNALLY begotten Son of God the FIRSTBORN among many BRETHREN.

And right NOW, Jesus is called a PRINCE and not yet called the King of kings. Right NOW Jesus is OUR Lord, but he is not yet RULING as Lord of the Sabbath over the WHOLE earth for Yahweh while Yahweh takes His Sabbath rest.

Right NOW in this present world Jesus is the MEDIATOR between Yahweh and man and is a Prince.

 

AGE #4.

 

Jesus will be the King of kings, the Lord of Lords who will come to rapture all those of us who have become God NEW CREATION being CREATED by God in Jesus Christ by our faith in the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.

After the rapture of the church, Jesus will IMMEDIATELY execute the WRATH of Almighty God on all who are not raptured.

After the wrath has been lifted lest every human perishes, Jesus will rule and reign over the whole earth and he will be called by the NAME Mighty God, the God of the whole earth by the nations who have been left alive in their MORTAL bodies.

To us who receive eternal life at the coming of Jesus, we will also be gods, kings, and lords to rule and reign WITH Jesus, and we will call Jesus, Yah and Yahweh our Righteousness. And together with Jesus, we will teach the mortal people what Jesus taught us in order for them to be saved.

Jesus will teach the nation to not learn war anymore and during his reign there will be peace for 1000 years having no WARS.

Now, the way that I see the governmental structure is that Jesus is given all authority and power to rule on behalf of Yahweh making all the decisions needed to be made. The only one over Jesus is Yahweh Himself and he is taking the day off so to speak from making that decisions concerning the ruling of the earth

Next in the RANK of command and POWER is all who are in Jesus Christ in this present world. 

Now, I am not going to say that in this lower rank or ruling class of IMMORTALS under Jesus that everyone will be equal to each other. There will be some immortals that have greater authority than other immortals. It may or may not be that way. I will rejoice in being included in the number of the immortals to rule and reign WITH Jesus over the MORTAL humans down on the surface of the earth.

The next in command will be the house of Israel that is of the seed of JACOB who will be MORTAL and their life span will be 100 years of age having no premature deaths.

And the lowest class of people will be those left alive of all other nations, including the descendants of ISHMAEL. This lower class of mortals will serve the mortal Jews. And Jesus will make them come and bow down at our feet and worship us.

 

Please read Revelation 3:9.

 

“Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.”

 

AGE #5.

 

Jesus will have committed his ruling of the kingdom back into the hands of Yahweh the Father and after the White Throne Judgment, Yahweh will create the NEW heavens and the NEW earth and Yahweh Himself will come down to dwell with His NEW CREATION of ONLY RIGHTEOUS children.

Between age #4 and the beginning of age #5, there will be ONE FINAL war when Satan is let loose after being bound for 1000 years. The FINAL judgment will take place and ALL those judged to be wicked including Satan and the fallen angels will be cast alive in the lake of fire to be destroyed never to rise again.

God will have CLEARED His name of being falsely accused of creating Lucifer with pride and rebellion before all of Yahweh’s faithful angels and be found right and just to go ahead and destroy Lucifer or Satan and all the angels that joined his rebellion to try and take over God’s throne. Again, please read the study “Q-1. UNDERSTANDING WHY?” for all the verses that teach us that God is at WAR even as we speak.

All we know for sure is that Jesus will be UNDER and SUBJECT to his God and Yahweh in the ages to come in all the eternity future after the Millennial reign of Jesus comes to an END. 

 

1 Corinthians 15:25-28.

 

“For he must reign, till He (Yahweh the Father) has put all enemies under his feet.

26.  The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. (Being cast into the lake of fire showing that there will be no more death after this point in time)

27.  For He (Yahweh) has put all things under his feet. But when He says all things are put under him, it is manifest (Or CLEARLY made KNOWN) that He (Yahweh) is excepted, which did put all things under him. (In other words, Yahweh will always be over his Son Jesus even during the 1000 years when Yahweh commits or ENTRUSTS his kingdom into the hands of his dear Son.)

28.  And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto Him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.”

 

Now rather than trying to explain all these verses away that you have just read in this study in God's word, so that you can continue to cling to the doctrine of Oneness or the doctrine of the Trinity, why not take a CLOSER look at those verses which only seem to be saying that Jesus pre-existed or that God manifested Himself in the flesh. For you see, the word “himself” is NOT in 1 Timothy 6:17. And there is no definite article “the” before the word “God”. So to me “a” God was manifest in the flesh. Here is a list of in-depth Bible studies on every verse that I have come across that is used to try and prove the Doctrine of the Trinity and or the Doctrine of Oneness.

Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
