D-32. WHY Does God Need Jesus and us as His WITNESSES? DOWNLOAD to SAVE as a PDF Doc to read OFFLINE. D-32. WHY Does God Need Jesus and us as His WITNESSES? Ask yourself the question, “What is the PURPOSE of the witnesses at a trial”? It is for the JUDGE to use the witnesses to decide if the one on TRIAL is found worthy to be put to DEATH. But under God’s law having only ONE witness is not enough to JUSTLY sentence the one on trial to be put to death.
Please read Deuteronomy 17:6.
“At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is WORTHY of death, be put to death; but at the mouth of ONE witness he shall NOT be put to death.”
So then, WHO is on TRIAL to be judged? And WHO are the WITNESSES that God will use to JUDGE the one on trial? In the passage of Scripture that Jesus teaches us about the Holy Spirit reproving the world of sin, Jesus tells us that the JUDGMENT of Satan has already began.
John 16:7-13.
“Nevertheless, I tell you the TRUTH. It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8. And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9. Of sin, because they believe NOT on me; (In other words, every person above the age of accountability will remain DEAD in their sins if they REJECT God’s Savior, Jesus) 10. Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more; (In other words, we as believers in Jesus, are in the world, but we are not OF the world. However, we will still be judged by our WORKS, according to Revelation 2:23, Revelation 3:1-6, and Revelation 22:12-15) 11. Of JUDGMENT, because the prince of this world is JUDGED. 12. I have yet many more things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now. 13. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all TRUTH: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come.”
And in Job 26:13,14 we see that even though we know about that CROOKED serpent, Satan, only a portion of his ways are told to us. But I believe that there is more than enough that God did tell us about His enemy, Satan, that we can understand that Satan is the cause of all evil. And we can also understand that God is in the process of gathering evidence and WITNESSES to convict His enemy, Satan, and the fallen angels guilty as charged so that He can JUSTLY destroy them in the lake of fire. Please read the study called D-39 The DAY God SHOOK the Earth! But for now, let us continue with this study to answer the question, “Why does God need witnesses?”, now that we know that the Bible teaches us that God is solving two problems at the same time, save the righteous and put and end to all evil. So then, the one on TRIAL that is being JUDGED is Satan, called the prince of this world in the Scripture we just read. Or more precisely, Satan and his angels, the principalities and powers, are on trial to be judged by Almighty God on the final Day of Judgment at the end of the 1000 year reign of Jesus. For you see, God PREPARED an everlasting FIRE to destroy Satan and the fallen angels, but for some reason, God has WAITED to cast them into the lake of fire to be destroyed and turned into ashes. I discuss some of those questions to help us understand WHY God has waited to destroy Satan, the Devil and the fallen angels in the studies under the heading >>>Q-0. WHY are we HERE?-Is God at WAR?<<< But the main point that I want you to see right now, is that God prepared the lake of fire specifically FOR Satan and the fallen angels. And thus, fallen man is a “casualty of the WAR”, so to speak, that Lucifer has waged against God’s throne. When God had to destroy all of mankind during the flood in Noah’s day, it REPENTED and grieved God that He even made mankind. That teaches me that God never intended the first Adam to fall.
Please read Matthew 25:41.
“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, PREPARED FOR the devil and his angels:”
And God is PLEADING with mankind asking the lost, WHY do you choose death? In other words, according to Deuteronomy 30:19, God has set life and death before every person as their OWN CHOICE. So choose LIFE so that you and your seed may live.
Deuteronomy 30:19.
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have SET before you LIFE and DEATH, blessing and cursing: Therefore, CHOOSE LIFE, that both you and your seed may live:”
Now, Jesus has gone before us as God’s first FAITHFUL WITNESS, according to Revelation 1:5 and Revelation 3:14. Let us go ahead and read those two verses of Scripture so that you can see WHEN Jesus BECAME God’s first FAITHFUL witness.
Revelation 1:5.
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL WITNESS, and the first begotten of the DEAD, (The FIRSTBORN from the dead to become the FIRSTBORN among many BROTHERS) and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,”
Revelation 3:14.
“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things say the Amen, the FAITHFUL and TRUE WITNESS, the beginning of the creation (Speaking of God’s NEW creation of righteous people made in God’s image. It was AFTER the cross and resurrection when Jesus was made in the image of the invisible God to become the firstborn of every creature) of God;”
Here we see that Jesus is not only God’s FAITHFUL witness, but Jesus is also God’s TRUE witness. And that means that there are FALSE witnesses telling LIES about God. Now, while the mainstream church has been taught that Genesis chapter 1 is the ORIGINAL creation of the entire Universe in the eternity past, I believe that God INTENDS us to understand Genesis chapter 1 as God RESTORING the earth to be habitable once again. For you see, WHY would God need faithful and true WITNESSES to judge the ANGELS if Genesis chapter 1 is the ORIGINAL creation of the entire Universe in the eternity past? Can you not see, that IF Genesis chapter 1 is the original creation, then that would mean that God PURPOSELY created EVIL so that He could JUDGE and DESTROY evil. And that would make God’s kingdom DIVIDED, according to Matthew 12:24-28. Most Christians have heard of the prophecy in Genesis 3:15 about the enmity between the seed of the woman and Satan’s seed. Let us go ahead and read that verse of Scripture and then I will explain what the Holy Spirit explained to me.
Genesis 3:15.
“And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your SEED and her SEED; it shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”
The Holy Spirit brought to my remembrance the parable of the sower sowing SEED and how the ENEMY has also sown his SEED of TARES among the wheat to choke to wheat. So think of the SEED of the woman as being God’s written WORD and Satan’s SEED as being the enemy’s LIES. Let God be TRUE and every man a LIAR. Let the witnesses of Satan be FALSE and every witness of God be TRUE. In a nutshell, so to speak, that is what the Bible is all about. God is DETHRONING Lucifer and the fallen angels and is PROMOTING whosoever BELIEVES to RULE in their place in order for God to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels by His faithful and true WITNESSES. Yes, the Bible is about God’s plan of Salvation, but it is ALSO about the JUDGMENT of God to END EVIL once and for all eternity in the future.
Please read Isaiah 3:14.
“The LORD will enter into JUDGMENT with the ANCIENTS of his people, and the princes thereof: for you have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.”
Now I want to point out the proverb that Jesus taught in Matthew 21:33-46, which you can read on your own. I will only quote Matthew 21:41,42 for you in this study. I want you to read this parable with the understanding of what shall be, has ALREADY BEEN, according to Ecclesiastes 3:15.
Matthew 21:41,42.
“They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 42. Jesus said unto them, Did you never read in the Scriptures, The STONE which the BUILDERS rejected, the SAME has become the HEAD of the CORNER: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?”
Now, the OBVIOUS understanding of this parable is about the kingdom of God being taken away from God’s chosen people, Israel, and giving it to the Gentiles in order to provoke Israel to jealousy. But the not so obvious understanding is that this method of God using provoking happened BEFORE with the ANCIENT people of God. In other words, God created MAN upon the earth to provoke the fallen angels in order to judge the angels. In other words, God is giving attention to the Gentiles to provoke Israel to REPENT and accept His WAY of salvation through Jesus. And in a similar way, God is paying attention to MAN that He created a little LOWER than the angel to provoke them to repent and surrender to end the WAR or not repent and be JUDGED guilty as charged. And that is what this study is about. For you see, to TRULY understand why God needs WITNESSES, then you need to understand the JUDGMENT of the ANCIENT people of God who lived on the earth BEFORE God created MAN upon the earth. God wants us to ASK Him about the DAYS that were BEFORE He created MAN upon the earth.
Please read Deuteronomy 4:23.
“For ask now of the DAYS that are PAST, which were BEFORE you, since (Or BECAUSE OF) the day that God created MAN upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, (Or ask about one side of heaven being AGAINST the other side of heaven) whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, (Or more precisely, has there ever been any such INSOLENT thing as one side of heaven being AGAINST the other side of heaven) Or has been heard like it?”
The Hebrew word translated as “great” thing, also means INSOLENT thing. And the word “insolent” means ARROGANT lack of RESPECT. Have you ever heard of such an arrogant lack of respect for one side of heaven to wage a WAR against the other side of heaven? If not, then ASK God about those DAYS. This is what this verse of Scripture is imploring us to do.
Ecclesiastes 3:15.
“That which has BEEN is NOW; and that which is TO BE has ALREADY BEEN; and God requires (Or more precisely, God makes an Aleph Tav Messiah INQUISITION of) THAT which is PAST.”
The Hebrew word translated as “past” carries the meaning of chasing with a HOSTILE intention that happened in a time gone by. Also, the Hebrew word translated in the KJV as “requires” carries the meaning of an “inquisition” being made by God of that which happened in the PAST. And Acts 17:29-31 clearly teaches us that the Godhead, or the HEAD God, will JUDGE the world BY the MAN whom He has ORDAINED and raised from the DEAD. In other words, Almighty God the Father of LIGHTS will use the Son of MAN, Jesus as His FAITHFUL and TRUE WITNESS to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels. Know you not that YOU shall JUDGE the angels?
1 Corinthians 6:3.
“Know you not that WE shall JUDGE angels? How much more, the things that pertain to this life?”
So then, to me, the ANCIENT people spoken of in the Bible are the angelic beings and the race of beings. And God made or SET some of the angels to become “princes” over the OTHER inhabitants dwelling on the earth during the PREVIOUS AGE of the earth BEFORE God created MAN or the HUMAN race of beings upon the earth. The angels who were made rulers or part of the Elohim, the gods under and subject to Yahweh, are also called the “high ones” and the “kings” of the earth.
Isaiah 10:33.
“Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, (Or CUT DOWN) and the haughty shall be humbled.”
Now, if we correctly “TRANSLATE” the Hebrew word “bara” as CUT DOWN, as opposed to, God created the great whales in Genesis 1:21. then you can see that God actually CUT DOWN that INSOLENT DRAGON in Genesis 1:21.
Please read Genesis 1:21-25.
“And God created great whales, (Or more correctly, God CUT DOWN that INSOLENT DRAGON) and every living creature that moves, which (Or more correctly, in ORDER THAT) the waters brought forth abundantly, after their KIND, and every winged fowl after his KIND: and God saw that it was good. (In other words, God saw that it was GOOD that He CUT DOWN the EVIL that was on the earth in that PREVIOUS AGE so that He could BLESS the earth and all its creatures. For you see, I believe that Satan and the fallen angels had corrupted the creatures that God created to no longer breed after their KIND. To say this another way, like man is messing around with changing DNA and cloning animals, I believe that Lucifer and his angels MIXED different animals that are said to be “MYTHICAL” creatures like the centaur, satyr, mermaid, and the unicorn) 22. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 24. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast (Or more correctly, and (RESTORE or REPAIR) of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25. And God made (Or God KEPT) the beast (Or the LIVING) of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creeps (Or SWARMS as a TROOP) upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”
This is like when Jesus will say at his coming, “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.” In other words, let the TARES grow among the WHEAT until the harvest. To say this another way, God LET that old red dragon and the fallen angels LIVE among His NEW CREATION of MAN upon the earth until the final Day of Judgment. Then in Genesis 1:26, God said to the Elohim, the ANGELS, let us make MAN in our image after our likeness. And let THEM have DOMINION over the earth. Now, think of this in the LIGHT that God has just CUT DOWN and DETHRONED Lucifer and the fallen angels as being the RULERS over the earth. And now, God is REPLACING Lucifer and the fallen angels with a MAN who God made a little LOWER or INFERIOR to the angels. In other words, God is saying to the ANCIENT princes over the earth, let us make an INFERIOR species of beings a little LOWER than you angels and let THEM have RULE or DOMINION over the earth to see if THEY will rebel against me like some of you angels did. Then God HID a PROPHECY of His Messiah ADAM or Aleph Tav Messiah MAN in the next verse of Scripture.
Please read Genesis 1:27.
“So God created (Aleph Tav Messiah) MAN in His own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
And during the SEVENTH DAY God prophesied that He is FINISHING the work of Him that he ended on the sixth day.
Please read the LITERAL translation of Genesis 2:1-3.
“And they are BEING FINISHED the heavens and the earth and all the host of them. 2. And He IS FINISHING Elohim in day of seventh work of Him which He did. And He is CEASING in day the seventh from all work of Him which He did. 3. And He is blessing Elohim Aleph Tav Messiah day of seventh. And He IS MAKING Holy Aleph Tav Messiah him that IN him He ceased from all work of Him which He CREATED Elohim to do”
So yes, the Bible ITSELF teaches us that God MADE His human Son, the Son of MAN, Jesus, both Lord and Messiah AFTER the cross and resurrection, according to Acts 2:36 and many other verses of Scripture. So the question is WHY? Why did Almighty God over the entire Universe need to CREATE Himself an INFERIOR species of beings made a little LOWER than His previous creation of the angels? WHY did God give an inferior species of beings the RULERSHIP over the earth? WHY did God ALLOW His ENEMY Satan and the fallen angels to remain ALIVE? WHY will Satan be bound in the bottomless pit for 1000 years while the highly exalted Son of MAN, Jesus RULES over the earth for 1000 years? WHY will God allow Satan to ascend out of the bottomless pit to DECEIVE the nations one final time to make WAR? It is because God is gathering EVIDENCE and His WITNESSES to JUDGE or to convict His enemy Satan and the fallen angels guilty as charged so that He can END all WAR, violence and EVIL for all eternity in the future. Now, I say all of this so that you will NOT be DECEIVED by the great deception that is coming upon all the earth, according to 2 Thessalonians 2:3,4.
2 Thessalonians 2:3,4.
“Let no man DECEIVE you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4. Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”
The “temple” that the man of sin will sit in is the BODY of a MAN. In other words, that old red dragon, called the Devil and Satan, will POSSESS a MAN that will claim to be God Himself by false miracles or LYING signs and wonders. This great deception SEEMS to be a single deception. But it may very well be SEVERAL deceptions that all show God as being ANCIENT technology that has been lost for thousands of years. In other words, the great deception could be a combination of humanism, evolution of man over billions of years, and Ancient Aliens guiding the evolution of man to eventually become like them. And in that deception, the FALLEN angels will DECEIVE the leaders of the world governments to prepare for an ALIEN invasion that is coming to take over the earth to rule with a ROD OF IRON. But, we as Christians know that Jesus is coming to take over the kingdoms of this present world to rule with a rod of iron to bring PEACE on the earth. We know that Jesus will rule for 1000 years WITHOUT having ANY wars or violence. With that being said, please read the WARNING in Isaiah 24:18-25.
Isaiah 24:18-23.
“And it shall come to pass, that he who flees from the NOISE of the FEAR shall fall into the pit; and he that comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do SHAKE. 19. The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. 20. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. 21. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. 22. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days (Or for 1000 years) shall they be visited. (On the final Day of Judgment after the 1000 year reign of PEACE has ended and Satan is let loose to ascend out of the bottomless pit to make WAR one final time) 23. Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ANCIENTS gloriously.”
In other words, God has laid a SNARE to PROVE to all of the GOOD angels that what He CREATES He creates PERFECT in the day in which He created them. WE are God’s WITNESSES. And according to 1 Corinthians 6:2,3, the SAINTS shall JUDGE the world. And Jesus is the first faithful and TRUE WITNESS.
1 Corinthians 6:2,3.
“Do you not know that the SAINTS shall JUDGE the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3. Know you not that WE shall JUDGE ANGELS? How much more, things that pertain to this life?”
With that being said, let us now take a look at some of the verses of Scripture that prophesy of God’s WITNESSES.
Genesis 35:10.
“And God said unto him, Your NAME is Jacob: (Which means to SUPPLANT. And the English word “supplant” means to supersede or to REPLACE) your NAME shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be your name: and He called (Aleph Tav Messiah) his NAME Israel.”
The name Israel means he shall rule as God. And Jacob, who was given a NEW NAME that means “He shall rule as God”, is a FIGURE of Messiah Jesus. So then, when we read other passages of Scripture with the names Jacob and Israel in them, be open to see hidden PROPHECIES of Messiah Jesus within those passages of Scripture. Please consider Isaiah 45:1-13 as a PROPHECY of Messiah Jesus being raised up to JUDGE Lucifer and the fallen angels. Yahweh’s ANOINTED “Cyrus” is another FIGURE of Messiah Jesus. Notice in verse 3 that Yahweh is talking to Cyrus when He says, “I have called YOU by your NAME, the God of Israel.”
Isaiah 45:1-13.
“Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose 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, 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 words in light green are NOT in the original text. So this verse should be understood as Cyrus being a FIGURE of Jacob who is a FIGURE of Messiah Jesus) 4. For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my elect, I have even called YOU by your name: I have surnamed you, though you have not known me. (In other words, God Himself DEFINED the meaning of the NAME Israel for us when we COMPARE Scripture with Scripture. God is putting all the pieces of His plan of salvation together for us to confirm that Jacob is a FIGURE of God’s ANOINTED Messiah who would be CROWNED as His King of kings and Lord of lords to rule as God over Israel during the FIRST DOMINION in the world to come for 1000 years) 5. I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded you, (My ANOINTED King Cyrus) though you have not known me: (The Hebrew word “translated” as the English word “beside” me literally means REMOVAL in this context. So the literal translation of verse 5 is, “I am Yahweh, none without me, and NO ELOHIM will REMOVE me: I have girded YOU, [My anointed king as my WITNESS] though you have not known me.”) 6. That THEY (The Elohim or the gods that I have SET to be gods, but they no longer continue with me) may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. (Or that the FALLEN Elohim from the east to the west may know that they are NO gods WITHOUT me or EXCEPT by me) I am the LORD, and there is none else. 7. I form the light, (Speaking of God SAYING let there be LIGHT, His light of the world whom He MADE Lord and Christ to destroy the works of the Devil) and create darkness: (Or more correctly, I Yahweh CUT DOWN the darkness. For you see, the Hebrew word “translated” as create also means to CUT DOWN) I make peace, and create evil: (Or I Yahweh will END this WAR and CUT DOWN the evil) I the LORD do all these things. 8. Drop down, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let THEM bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it. (Or I Yahweh have CREATED them and THEY are RIGHTEOUSNESS. They are My WITNESSES who I will JUDGE you fallen Elohim who falsely accused Me of creating you flawed to lay the BLAME of this war upon me. This is WHY God CREATED His Messiah a little LOWER that the Elohim to be His first faithful WITNESS against the fallen Elohim) 9. Woe unto him that STRIVES with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashion it, What do you make? Or work, He has no hands? 10. Woe unto him that says unto his father, What do you beget? Or to the woman, What have you brought forth? 11. Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, (Or more correctly, thus says Yahweh to the Holy One of Israel whom He made or whom He DETERMINED) Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command you me. (Keep in mind that the sons of God are the angels, some of which were set as Elohim. And also keep in mind that we who believe have been given the power to BECOME the sons of God. And in the light of the whole word of God, being made and eternal son of God means to be made gods along with the Son of MAN, Jesus. For you see, Jesus was MADE Lord and God by His God, Yahweh the Father. I personally believe that as our reward for suffering the wrongs being afflicted on us by God’s enemy that God will PROMOTE us or exalt us to replace the fallen Elohim or the fallen gods. That is the understanding that I see in verses of Scripture like Romans 8:18-22, Romans 9:22,282, and 1 Corinthians 2:7-16) 12. I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their hosts have I commanded. 13. I have raised him (My anointed king Cyrus whom I have NAMED the God of Israel, I have raised him) up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says the LORD of hosts.”
Keep in mind that Yahweh told His anointed Cherub that He CREATED him PERFECT on the day that God created him. And thus, the BLAME for Lucifer’s rebellion against God was Lucifer’s pride and GREED. The Bible makes it blatantly clear that the god of this world is Satan, the Devil, and that it is Satan who OPPRESSES the humans in this PRESENT world. So it is not a stretch to say that Satan’s WAYS have continued to be the SAME as they were in the PREVIOUS AGE of the earth. In other words, the very REASON that God created MAN upon the earth was BECAUSE of His ENEMIES, in order to STILL His ENEMY and the AVENGER, according to Psalm 8:1-6.
Now let us backup and read Isaiah 43:1-15. “But now, thus says the LORD that created you, O Jacob, and he that formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your NAME; you are mine. (Keep in mind that Jacob whom God surnamed Israel is a FIGURE of Jesus being given a NEW NAME to be made the God over Israel during the world to come to JUDGE the fallen Elohim. In other words, God is talking to BOTH the literal person Jacob, the tribes of Israel AND to His Messiah Jesus through the Scriptures. Also, keep in mind that Jacob is a figure of the church as well, seeing that we are the body of Jesus Christ. So as you read verse 2, think of God speaking to Jesus, the church, and to natural Israel) 2. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon you. 3. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior: (Or I am Yahweh and the Holy One of Israel is your Savior that I raised up in righteousness. Then God speaks directly to His Messiah Jesus, His Holy One of Israel) I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for you. 4. Since you were precious in my sight, you have been honorable, and I have loved you: therefore, will I give men for you, and people for your life. (Clearly, Yahweh is speaking prophetically to His Messiah Jesus as God’s promise to him for laying down his life on the cross. According to Hebrews 12:2, God set a joy before the Son of man, Jesus to ENDURE the cross) 5. Fear not: for I am with you: I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west; (Here we see a prophecy of Yahweh coming WITH His now glorified Son of MAN, Jesus) 6. I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; (To me, verse 6 can be interpreted in two ways. One way is to use the different meanings of the Hebrew words translated as “north: and as “south”. Another meaning for north is hidden, as in, I will say to my anointed king Cyrus, my hidden one DELIVER my people. The Hebrew word translated as south means at the RIGHT HAND, which again speaks of Jesus. And thus, both the north and the south refer to Jesus. And the other way to interpret this verse is that the north refers to Jesus and his armies who will fight against the south, which refers to Satan and his army of the fallen Elohim) 7. Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. (Or I have CREATED My Savior Jesus for My glory, I have FORMED him, yea, I have MADE him both Lord and Savior, according to Acts 2:36. Keep in mind that the very reason God made MAN and the Son of MAN a little LOWER that the Elohim is BECAUSE of His ENEMIES, according to Psalm 8:1-6. In other words, in order for God to STILL His enemy and avenger, He devised a secret PLAN to lay a snare for His enemies. And God in His plan He chose to use WITNESSES to JUDGE His enemies. And what better witness than creating and inferior being that would prove that what He creates He creates perfect in the day He creates it) 8. Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. (The Hebrew word translated as “people” also means ATTENDANTS and TROOPS. Again, the PURPOSE of WITNESSES in a trial is to get the BLIND to SEE and the DEAF to hear the TRUTH. Keep in mind that Yahweh’s NAME or reputation has been DEFAMED by Lucifer falsely accusing God of CREATING him flawed. So in order for Yahweh to be a JUST God, He chose to CREATE His Savior a little LOWER or inferior to the Elohim as His WITNESS to prove that what He CREATES is PERFECT on the day He created it) 9. Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: (Or more correctly, let the MASSING against my back be gathered together and let that gathering be REMOVED) who among THEM can declare this, and show us FORMER things? (Or who among them can speak against me in TRUTH? NONE of them!) Let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth. 10. You are My WITNESSES, says the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. (Or more correctly, AGAINST me there was no Elohim formed, neither shall there be any Elohim PURSUING me) 11. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no savior. (Or WITHOUT Yahweh there would be no Savior) 12. I have declared, (Or I have SPOKEN or PROPHESIED) and have saved, and I have shown, when there was no strange god among you: (Here in this verse I am seeing that God will show His good Elohim the DAY before the WAR was waged against Him when there was NO Elohim TURNED against Him) therefore, you (Good angels are also) are My witnesses, says the LORD, that I am God. 13. Yea, BEFORE the DAY was I am he; (Or BECAUSE of that AGE I was the SAME and WHAT I created before that day of rebellion, I created perfect on the day I created it. And thus, I am just and righteous to REMOVE the fallen Elohim) and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? (Or who shall hinder it) 14. Thus says the LORD, (Behold) your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent (My Holy One of Israel) to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. (Or what caused them to SHOUT for a VICTORY is in the SHIPS. When I read this while keeping in mind the “big picture” of the WAR being waged against God’s throne I thought of the CHARIOTS of God, or God’s SHIPS far out numbering the flying ships of the fallen angels shouting that they can win this war against God. And God will LAUGH at them) 15. I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.”
Or I am Yahweh your Holy One who CREATED Israel, he who shall rule as God to be your King. Let us go ahead and read another passage of Scripture that teaches us about the WITNESSES of Yahweh. The fulfillment of this prophecy will be during the 1000 year reign of Jesus.
Isaiah 44:5-8. “One shall say, I am the LORD'S; and another shall call himself by the NAME of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the NAME of Israel. (This verse seems to be speaking of three different groups of people. The first group of people are saints who shall say I AM Yahweh’s, referring to those of us who are Christ’s at his coming. And we will be given eternal life to rule WITH Jesus over the other two groups of people. Those who shall call themselves by the NAME of Jacob are the Jews. And those who surname themselves by the NAME of Israel are those who accept Jesus as their God to rule over them during the Millennial age of the reign of Jesus. And that INCLUDES the unsaved Jews who will surname themselves in each generation by the NAME Israel which means he shall rule as God) 6. Thus says the LORD the King of Israel, AND his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; (Here we see TWO separate beings both named Yahweh. The FIRST Yahweh who has always existed is the CREATOR of His Elohim, whom He made the King of Israel. And Jesus shall be the LAST Elohim to be GIVEN a NAME higher than any other name except for the name Yahweh) and beside me there is no God. (Or more correctly, since not till me or not until the King of Israel, there is no God) 7. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order FOR me, SINCE I APPOINTED the ANCIENT people? And the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show unto them. (Or let them, MY WITNESSES that I shall call show unto them, the fallen Elohim of the ANCIENT people, that what Yahweh creates, He creates perfect on the day that He created it) 8. Fear you not, neither be afraid: have not I told you from that time, and have declared it? You are even My WITNESSES. Is there a God (Eloah, a Deity) beside (Since not till my King of Israel) me? Yea, there is no God; I know not any.”
Or is there an Eloah WITHOUT me GIVING him that authority and power to become an Eloah? Yea, there is NO ROCK or MIGHTY ONE that I do not KNOW. For you see, every Elohim was MADE to become an Elohim or a MIGHTY ONE by Yahweh who created them. That is why Yahweh is called THE God OF gods or the God of the Elohim. God is light and the Father of lights and in Him is NO darkness at all. God is merciful and just and He is NOT willing that ANY should perish. He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. But when the wicked refuse to humble themselves to repent, then God is JUST to destroy them. The central message of the Bible is the JUDGMENT of the wicked and the SALVATION of those who call upon the name of the Lord to be saved. Here are two prophecies of the high ones, the fallen Elohim being cut down and punished.
Isaiah 10:33.
“Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.”
Isaiah 24:21-23.
“The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. 21. And it shall come to pass on that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. 22. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the PIT, (Speaking of the bottomless PIT in Revelation 20:3,7-10) and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited. (Or after 1000 years the wicked will be resurrected to face the final Day of Judgment) 23. Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and BEFORE His ANCIENTS gloriously.”
In other words, the highly exalted Son of MAN will rule and reign FOR Yahweh as Yahweh’s FAITHFUL WITNESS during the world to come. And the glorified Son of MAN will reign BEFORE or in the VIEW of the fallen Elohim. In other words, the ANGELS are the ANCIENT people or sons of God who ruled over the earth in a PREVIOUS AGE before God created MAN upon the earth BECAUSE OF His ENEMIES, the fallen Elohim. This is why 1 Timothy 3:16 says SEEN of ANGELS. Jesus is the FAITHFUL and TRUE WITNESS that God will us to JUDGE the world, speaking of ALL of the inhabitants on the Earth, according to Acts 17:29-31. And the fallen high ones, the Elohim that sinned are prisoners being held on the Earth for the Day of Judgment. And the old saying goes, God is killing two birds with ONE STONE. In other words, by the ONE STONE that Yahweh laid before the foundation of the world will solve two problems at the same time. The faithful and true WITNESS will be the PROOF God needs to END the WAR between one side of heaven against the other side of heaven AND and SAVE whosoever of mankind who BELIEVES that the Son of MAN Jesus died on the cross for their sins.
