What I mean by a statement of FACT is that a fact does not need to be interpreted to understand what is being stated as a fact. A fact is clear and simple to understand without having any need to be interpreted. Let us begin this study in God's word by going over some FACTS that all Christians AGREE upon. FACT #1. All Christians AGREE that the Old Testament Scriptures are filled with PROPHECIES about Jesus and that Jesus is the FULFILLMENT of those prophecies. However, not every Christian TRULY knows and understands what is meant by the Christian term, “Jesus is the FULFILLMENT of the Scriptures.” The term “Jesus is the FULFILLMENT of the Scriptures” simply means that Almighty God the Father watched over His own word of prophecy to FULFILL those prophecies. And those PROPHECIES testify of Jesus as the ONE being prophesied to become God's Messiah. So then, in the light of the whole word of Almighty, God ONLY Jesus MEETS all of the detailed descriptions that are in the prophecies describing God's Messiah. FACT #2. All Christians AGREE that Jesus is the Christ. However, not every Christian TRULY knows and understands what is meant by the Christian term, “Christ,” as it is defined in the light of the whole word of Almighty God. In other words, some Christians understand the word “Christ” to ONLY mean the Messiah. Some Christians do not know that the word “Christ” also means ANOINTED and that the word “anointed” also has more than just one meaning as well. God anointed Jesus with POWER from on high before God sent His Son into the world. And some Christians are not yet aware that God anointed Jesus TWICE, once at his baptism by John the Baptist, and the other time was AFTER the cross and resurrection. For you see, God ANOINTED His Son, Jesus, to be His King of king and Lord of lords to be ABOVE his fellows after the cross. FACT #3. All Christians AGREE that Jesus is the Son of the living God. However, not every Christian TRULY knows and understands what is meant by the Christian term, “the Son of God”, when that term is correctly interpreted in the light of the whole word of Almighty God. Some Christians have never been taught that God CONCEIVED His Son in the womb of a woman to be BORN as His human Son FIRST. And then God CROWNED His human Son after his LAMB was found WORTHY to RECEIVE power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. FACT #5. All Christians AGREE that Jesus Christ is our Lord. However, not every Christian TRULY knows and understands what is meant by the Christian term, “Jesus Christ is our Lord”, when it is correctly interpreted in the light of the whole word of Almighty God. For you see, Almighty God the Father MADE Jesus both Lord and Christ AFTER the cross and resurrection. FACT #5. All Christians AGREE that Jesus is called God in the Bible. However, not every Christian TRULY knows and understands what is meant by the Christian term, “Jesus being called God,” in the Bible means in the light of the whole word of Almighty God. Some Christians have not yet come to understand that the word “God” is simply a TITLE and that two SEPARATE persons can have the same TITLE and be ONE in AGREEMENT but yet not one in BEING. And the PROPHECY in Isaiah 9:6.7 clearly teaches us in SIMPLICITY that the NAME of the CHILD being prophesied SHALL be CALLED the Mighty God WHEN the GOVERNMENT shall be laid on his shoulders. But, we as Christians, call Jesus God now in this present world. However, some Christians have been taught incorrectly to believe that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the flesh having two natures at the SAME time DURING the days of his flesh, one divine, and one human. So then, is Jesus God? Does the Bible itself state as a FACT that God’s Son, Jesus, is indeed called O God? Yes, the Bible itself states as a fact that the Son of God is called O God in Hebrews 1:8. But, does the FACT that the Bible does state that Jesus is called O God in the Bible mean that Almighty God Himself INTENDS His words to mean that Jesus is Almighty God Himself, in the flesh? In other words, does that FACT that Jesus is called “O God” by name or by title mean that Jesus is Yahweh the Creator Himself? No! For you see, it was the Creator who GAVE His human Son the NAME Mighty God or O God after the cross and resurrection. So then, to me, Hebrews 1:8,9 does NOT mean that Almighty God Himself INTENDS His words to be interpreted to mean that His Son is Almighty God HIMSELF. To say this another way, Yahweh did NOT ever INTEND His words to mean that Jesus and Almighty God the Father, who alone is the one true God, are ONE and the SELF-SAME BEING. And neither did Yahweh ever INTEND His words to mean that Jesus was God DURING the days of the FLESH of Jesus. For you see, according to John 5:19, Jesus said that he could do NOTHING of Himself. And, according to 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, Jesus will NOT remain O God in all eternity future either! So, to me, the Bible itself teaches us that Jesus will reign for God in the NAME of Yahweh for ONLY 1000 years in the world to come. To say this another way, the human Jesus was GIVEN a new name of power and authority after the cross and resurrection to rule as God over the earth ONLY in the world to come. And then, AFTER the Millennial reign of Jesus has ended, Jesus will step down from ruling as God of the earth and commit the ruling over the earth as God, back into the hand of his God and Father. And for this reason and many more reasons, the Bible ITSELF does not teach us that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the flesh. For you see, Jesus is no longer mortal FLESH as he once was during the DAYS of his FLESH from his virgin birth to the cross and resurrection. Please read 2 Corinthians 5:15,16 which teaches us that Jesus is no longer living in the DAYS of his FLESH. The days of his MORTAL flesh are gone forever. Jesus no longer has mortal human NATURE. But rather, God GAVE His HUMAN Son to be made a partaker of the DIVINE NATURE of IMMORTALITY. So then, in TRUTH, Jesus only had ONE NATURE at a time and his HUMAN nature came FIRST. 2 Corinthians 5:15,16. “And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 16. Wherefore, henceforth, know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we had known Christ after the flesh, yet NOW, henceforth, know we him no more.” In other words, after the cross and resurrection, Jesus is no longer after the mortal human flesh and BLOOD nature, but NOW, Jesus has been given his new IMMORTAL body of flesh and bones to be made a partaker of the divine nature to never die again. And that is why I believe that Almighty God INTENDS His words to mean that Jesus had his beginning as the human Son of God. And then, the Son of MAN, Jesus, was GIVEN all power and all authority by his God and Father after the cross and resurrection. For you see, Jesus was only given the power to rule as God FOR Yahweh the Creator for 1000 years. Jesus will rule in Yahweh’s NAME for ONLY 1000 years in the world to come. And then Jesus will step down from ruling over the earth. For you see, according to 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, Jesus will commit the Kingdom back into his Father's hands after the 1000 years has ended. And, therefore, according to Acts 2:36, Jesus was MADE God’s Lord of lords and the King of kings after the cross and resurrection. There is a DIFFERENCE from being CALLED God by name or by title than there is from being the ONE TRUE God who GAVE His Son the name or title of God to rule over the earth in the world to come, for ONLY 1000 years. If words mean anything at all, then the Almighty God cannot have another God over Himself. For you see, then that God would then be the HIGHEST God over the Father. And the Bible ITSELF clearly states as a FACT that the Father is the God OF Jesus in many verses of Scripture, including Hebrews 1:8,9. So, let us go ahead and read Hebrews 1:8,9. And while you read it, please notice that the writer of Hebrews is quoting PROPHECY from the Old Testament Scriptures. For you see, all through the New Testament we see phrases like “all of this was done so that it might be FULFILLED”, and “is it not WRITTEN in the Scriptures”, and “the Scripture cannot be BROKEN”. In other words, everything that God prophesied must be brought to pass or FULFILLED. And it is Yahweh Himself who PERFORMS or fulfills His own spoken word of PROPHECY. Hebrews 1:8,9. “But unto the Son He says, Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom. 9. You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore, God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.” We can clearly see that Almighty God the Father is NOT talking about Himself. But rather, the Father is speaking about His Son which we know is Jesus. And we know that the writer of Hebrews is quoting a PROPHECY in Psalm 45:6,7, so let us go ahead and read that PROPHECY. I will highlight in green what is PROPHECY which was fulfilled in Jesus by Yahweh watching over His word to perform it Psalm 45:6,7. “Your throne, O God, is for ever 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.” Now IF God was speaking to His ALREADY existing Son in the eternity past, then WHY would God PROPHESY that He would ANOINT His already Almighty God the Son to be ABOVE his fellows. In other words, simply ask yourself the following questions. QUESTION A. “If Jesus preexisted in all eternity past as God the Son, the second person of a Godhead Trinity God, then would not God’s Son ALREADY have been ABOVE his fellows?” QUESTION B. “According to the Bible itself, who are the FELLOWS of the Son of God that God ANOINTED His Son to be ABOVE? Does not the Bible say that Jesus is the firstborn among many BRETHREN?” QUESTION C. “So then, could it very well be POSSIBLE that Jesus came into existence as the HUMAN Son of God? Why is it that the human Son of God is so hard for some Christians accept? I mean, why do some Christians find it so hard to believe that Almighty God is the God and Father of Jesus and He highly exalted His human Son to be made a God under and subject to Yahweh the Father?” Let us now read this PROPHECY in Psalm 45:6,7 again, which the writer of Hebrews clearly teaches us that was FULFILLED in Jesus after the cross and resurrection. But this time I will show the Hebrew words translated as “God” and as “O God” in parentheses so that you can see that they are translated from the SAME Hebrew word “Elohim”. I will again highlight the God being PROPHESIED to come into being in green. And I will highlight the one true God who SPOKE the word of PROPHECY out from His mouth in orange. Psalm 45:6,7 with Hebrew words translated as O God and God. “Your throne, O God, (Elohim) is for ever and ever: the scepter of your kingdom is a right scepter. 7. You love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore, God, (Elohim) your God, (Elohim) has anointed you with the oil of gladness, above your fellows.” Again, I highlighted it in green to show that it is PROPHECY of the O God to come into being where the O God never existed in the eternity past. And thus, the “O God” is being PROPHESIED to come into being. So then, as you can see, the prophecy in Psalm 45:6,7 uses the same Hebrew word “Elohim” that is translated as “O God”, referring to God’s yet FUTURE God. But that SAME Hebrew word “Elohim” is ALSO translated as God, referring to the Creator Yahweh. Therefore, the word God is simply a TITLE like the word King is a TITLE. And it is the Eternal King Yahweh, the Creator God, who is doing the PROPHESYING and the PERFORMING of His own spoken word of PROPHECY that came forth from God. For you see, it was the spoken word of PROPHECY that came OUT FROM God by Almighty God SPEAKING His thoughts out from His own MOUTH to be created. Again, the New Testament is filled will phrases like, “this was done that it might be FULFILLED” and “it is WRITTEN”. Simply do your own word search on the word “fulfilled” and you will find that Jesus is the FULFILLMENT of the PROPHECIES in the Scriptures. And THAT, my dear brothers and sisters in our Lord, is WHO Jesus is, according to the Scriptures. Jesus is what His God PROPHESIED in His word to BECOME or to come into existence to be where he never existed before. That is what prophecy is or how God's word of prophecy works! So, the word in John 1:1-14 is the word of prophecy made flesh. Have you never considered, WHAT is prophecy? In short, prophecy is God’s SPOKEN word that came forth OUT FROM God’s mouth calling things that are NOT YET as THOUGH they already are. And then, Yahweh watches over His spoken word of prophecy to PERFORM it to come to pass. Please read Isaiah 55:11 but let us read it being left in its CONTEXT. Please read Isaiah 55:1-13. “Ho, (A calling out to) every one that thirsts, come you to the waters, (Are you thirsty to know your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and who Jesus is in relation TO the Father? Then come and drink of the waters that lead to eternal life in the world to come) and he that has no money; come you, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. (The LIGHT of the glorious gospel of salvation is FREE to all who choose to believe the TRUE gospel of Jesus Christ) 2. Wherefore, do you spend money for that which is NOT bread? (Or WHY do you spend money for that which is NOT the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the TRUE bread from heaven, as in, Jesus TAUGHT us the TRUE TEACHING or the TRUE DOCTRINE of God that was sent down from heaven. Therefore, why do you eat that which is not the true bread) and your labor for that which satisfies not? (Are you truly SATISFIED with all of what your church denomination teaches?) Hearken diligently unto me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. (Or allow your soul, your inner most being to delight abundantly in the truth) 3. Incline your ear, and come unto me: HEAR, and your soul shall LIVE; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. (Here we see that Yahweh the Father is doing the speaking concerning His chosen one who would be made of the seed of King David and who would establish Yahweh’s NEW COVENANT. David is a FIGURE of the Messiah. And the Messiah is the word made FLESH as the fulfillment of Yahweh's PROPHECY) 4. Behold, I have given him (Referring to Yahweh’s Messiah, Jesus) for a WITNESS to the people, (See Revelation 1:5 and Revelation 3:14 for the FULFILLMENT. I, Yahweh, have given Jesus for) a LEADER and COMMANDER to the people. (See Hebrews 2:6-13, Ephesians 1:22,23, and Colossians 1:18-20 for the FULFILLMENT) 5. Behold, you, (Speaking of the one prophesied to come to be God’s Messiah to suffer and die for the sins of the world. You, Jesus) shall call a nation that you know not, and nations that knew not you shall run unto you (Speaking of Jesus calling the Gentiles and the Gentiles coming to Jesus) because of the LORD (Yahweh) your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for He has glorified you. (This is a PROPHECY of Yahweh’s WITNESS to become a LEADER and COMMANDER to Yahweh’s people, both the Jews and the Gentiles. And it is BECAUSE of Yahweh, the God of His Holy One of Israel, came into existence. Jesus is the FULFILLMENT of the prophecies to be made the Holy One of Israel. For you see, it was the love that the Son of MAN, Jesus, that he had for righteousness and to hate evil THAT Yahweh GLORIFIED His Holy One of Israel and did not leave the soul of His Holy One in hell, according to Acts 2:27 and Hebrew 1:8,9. Please read the study “Q-19. WHO is THE HOLY ONE of ISRAEL?”) 6. Seek you the LORD (Or seek you Yahweh) while he may be found, call you upon him while he is near: (I highlighted the NAME Yahweh in light blue because this is a PROPHECY of Yahweh DWELLING in a MAN that is prophesied to come into being as the FULFILLMENT of all of the PROPHECIES in the Scriptures and GIVEN the NAME Yahweh our righteousness, the God of the whole earth. And this prophecy was fulfilled in Jesus at his resurrection, but Jesus will not actually RULE as God over the whole earth UNTIL the world to come. That is WHEN Jesus will be CALLED by the NAME the Mighty God, WHEN the government is laid upon his shoulders, according to the PROPHECY in Isaiah 9:6,7) 7. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, (Or let him be reconciled to Yahweh THROUGH the MAN that Yahweh will GIVE His very own NAME to) and He (Referring to Yahweh Himself) will have mercy upon him; AND to our God, (Elohim or to our O God, the HIGHLY EXALTED Son of MAN, Jesus, the FULFILLMENT of Yahweh’s PROPHECIES) for he (Jesus, the fulfillment of prophecy) will abundantly pardon. 8. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the LORD. 9. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts (Speaking of Yahweh’s PLAN of salvation within Himself that He spoke forth OUT FROM His MOUTH are higher) than your thoughts. 10. For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread for the eater: 11. So SHALL My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto me void, (Speaking of God’s spoken word of PROPHECY not returning void) but it (Again, speaking of God’s spoken word of PROPHECY) shall accomplish that which I please, and it (Again, referring to God’s spoken word of PROPHECY) shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Speaking of God’s spoken word of PROPHECY that God sent down from heaven. But this also means that God sent Jesus out into the world after the spoken word of prophecy was made flesh) 12. For you (Referring to the FULFILLMENT of God’s spoken word of PROPHECY made flesh) shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you (Referring to the FULFILLMENT of God’s spoken word of PROPHECY in the world to come. In other words, the followers of Jesus shall break forth before the feet of Jesus) into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 13. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a NAME, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.” Again, the pronoun, “it”, “shall be for a NAME”, is speaking of the FULFILLMENT of God’s spoken word of PROPHECY after the cross and resurrection. Once you understand that the Son of MAN, Jesus, was GIVEN a NEW NAME after the cross, then you will see that all of the honor, glory, and worship that we give to our Lord and Savior, Jesus, goes TO or also gives honor, glory, and worship to Almighty God the Father, according to Philippians 2:8-11. So then, in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God being PROPHECY that has been and will yet be FULFILLED in Jesus, let us ALL at least try to see John 1:1-14 as the Apostle John referring to the PROPHECY of God’s word being FULFILLED and yet remaining to be completely fulfilled in the world to come. And thus, Jesus was PROPHESIED to BECOME a God to be under and subject to his God and Father. So then, to ME, the answer to question number 1 is YES, the Bible itself states as a FACT the Jesus is indeed called God by NAME, or by title. But the Bible does NOT state as a FACT that Jesus is the Almighty God Himself in the flesh. In fact, the Bible itself states the exact opposite by clearly teaching us in SIMPLICITY that God DWELT in Jesus and the Jesus could do NOTHING OF himself DURING the days of his FLESH. But that is another study that you can find in the links at the end of this study. Question #1. What does the Bible ITSELF state as a FACT? The Bible itself states as a FACT that the Scriptures TESTIFY of Jesus, according to John 5:38-47. John 5:38-47. “And you have not His word abiding in you: for whom He has sent, Him you believe not. 39. Search the Scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (Or search the PROPHECIES in the Old Testament Scriptures because they testify of me as being the FULFILLMENT of those prophecies of Yahweh) 40. And you will not come to me, that ye might have life. 41. I receive not honor from men. 42. But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you. 43. I am come in my Father's NAME, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. 44. How can you believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek NOT the honor that comes from God only? (And I can assure you that when you truly seek the honor that comes from God ONLY that some of your fellow brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ will not receive you as the true brother or sister in Jesus until THEY also seek the honor that comes from God ONLY. And SOME of you know exactly what I mean by this because you are experiencing being “shunned”, so to speak, right now by your fellow brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ. For you see, simply because you can no longer believe that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the flesh having two natures at the SAME time DURING the days of his FLESH, one divine, and one human, some of you are rejected as being a true Christian. And, in my opinion, that is dishonoring to God who created you in Jesus Christ) 45. Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust. 46. For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me: for he wrote of me. (Speaking of the PROPHECIES found in the first five books of the Bible) 47. But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?” And the Bible also states as a FACT that Jesus is the FULFILLMENT OF the Scriptures all through the New Testament. But for now, we will just read one of the fulfillments IN Jesus that was fulfilled BY Yahweh performing His own spoken word of prophecy. Please read Acts 13:29-39. “And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher. 30. But God raised him from the dead: (As it was PROPHESIED in the Scriptures) 31. And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. 32. And we, declare unto you, glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, (Or HOW that the PROPHECIES of the coming Messiah were given unto the fathers of the children of Israel) 33. God has FULFILLED the same unto us their children, in THAT He has raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, (Or AS it is PROPHESIED and PROMISED to come to pass in Psalm chapter 2 prophesying) You are my Son, THIS DAY (Speaking of the DAY in which God raised the Son of MAN, Jesus from the DEAD) have I BEGOTTEN you. (The word “begotten” is translated from the Greek word “gennao” which means to procreate but it also means to REGENERATE. So then, Jesus was “born AGAIN” to become God’s ETERNAL Son on the very DAY that God raised the Son of MAN, Jesus, from the dead and GAVE His human son the divine nature of IMMORTALITY to never die again) 34. And as CONCERNING that He raised him up from the dead, NOW no MORE to return to corruption, He said (Or Yahweh PROPHESIED) on this wise, I will GIVE you the sure mercies of David. 35. Wherefore, (Or for this very reason) He said ALSO in another psalm, (Or Yahweh ALSO PROPHESIED in Psalm) You shall not suffer Your Holy One to see corruption. 36. For David, (Or for you see, David was not prophesying of himself, because) after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, (Or David died) and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: 37. But he, (Speaking of the Son of MAN, Jesus) whom God raised again, saw no corruption. 38. Be it KNOWN unto you, therefore, men and brethren, that through this MAN (Speaking of the RISEN Son of MAN, Jesus) is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39. And by him (Or through him, the Son of MAN that God MADE both Lord and Christ, according to Acts 3:36) all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.” Question #2. Does the Bible itself state as a FACT that Jesus IS called God? Yes, the Bible itself states as a FACT that Jesus is CALLED God both in PROPHECY and in the FULFILLMENT of that part of the prophecies of God’s Messiah being CALLED God by NAME the Mighty God. Please know and understand that Isaiah 9:6,7 is a PROPHECY speaking of a CHILD being born FIRST. And then that HUMAN Son of MAN, would be GIVEN to suffer and die on the cross. And then AFTER the cross and resurrection of the Son of MAN, Jesus, then he would be CALLED by the NAME the Mighty God. Please notice the ORDER in which the events are PROPHESIED. 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 as 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. And at that TIME of the second coming of Jesus to begin the world to come) his NAME shall be CALLED Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, (Or a powerful El, Strong's number H310, which also can refer to ANY Deity the same as Elohim can refer to ANY God. So again, the word God is a TITLE or a NAME like Lord, Christ, and) 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 the HUMAN Son of God made it possible for whosoever believes in him shall be saved. Jesus was MADE perfect, and thus, he BECAME the father of eternal life AFTER the cross and resurrection from the DEAD. 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 whomsoever he chooses. This is why Psalms chapter 2 prophesies to kiss the feet of God’s Son whom He ordained or set to be Yahweh's 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. But at his second coming, Jesus will SIT on the right hand of Yahweh to rule and reign FOR Yahweh in Yahweh’s NAME as the Lord of the Sabbath for 1000 years. 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. And thus, John 1:1-14 should be read and understood as being the word of PROPHECY was a God. And likewise, 1 Timothy 3:16 should be understood as being a God was manifest in the flesh to be under his God and Father. For you see, Jesus began as a THOUGHT in God’s mind as God's secret plan of salvation, the Lamb SLAIN from before the foundation of the world. And not just the plan of salvation for mankind that He had not yet created, but also, a plan for the RESTORATION of the entire universe back to being at PEACE having no WAR. For you see, to me, I am seeing that God created the human race to put an END to evil by God JUDGING Satan and the fallen angels by His new creatures of righteous humans as faithful WITNESSES. Please read the studies under the heading >>>Q-0. WHY ARE WE HERE-Is GOD at WAR?<<< So then, I believe that DURING the days of his FLESH, Jesus was 100% a MAN whom his God ANOINTED at the baptism of Jesus with the Holy Spirit and POWER, according to Acts 10:38. The Greek words that are translated as God SENT His Son almost always means God COMMISSIONED His human Son, Jesus. And the other Greek word translated as sent, in the past tense, means SENDING, as in, Jesus was being led by the Holy Spirit to go from place to place. The Holy Spirit drove or SENT the anointed human Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted. The word commission means to give power and authority to a person to empower them to accomplish that task that they are called upon to do. And that is one of the meanings of the Greek word translated as Christ. The word Christ means ANOINTED but it ALSO Messiah or Savior. And Jesus was ANOINTED TWICE. The first anointing of Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power from on high at his baptism in the River Jordan by John the Baptist. And that was WHEN his God sent the Son of MAN, Jesus, into the world to accomplish the task God called him to do. And after the anointed Son of MAN accomplished the Will of his God and Father to suffer and die on the cross, then Almighty God the Father ANOINTED His human Son with the oil of GLADNESS to be ABOVE his fellows. For you see, God set a joy before His human Son to endure the cross. And after the Son of MAN endured the cross, God granted him to be seated on His throne. And that is when the Son of MAN, Jesus was given his NEW NAME that is ABOVE every other NAME except for the NAME Yahweh, according to Philippians 2:8-11. Also, the CONTEXT of Hebrew 1:8.9 in Hebrews 1:4 clearly teaches us the Jesus OBTAINED a more excellent NAME than the angels to now be MADE better than the angels. So then, based upon what we just read from the Scriptures PROPHESYING God’s Messiah to come into existence, does the FACT that the Bible does state that Jesus is CALLED God by NAME that was GIVEN to the Son of MAN, Jesus, by his God and Father in Hebrews 1:8,9, mean that Almighty God Himself INTENDED His words to mean that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the flesh? In other words, BOTH the Oneness Pentecostal Christians AND the Trinitarian Christians argue in a dogmatic way, insisting, that Jesus is Almighty God HIMSELF in the flesh. And they both claim that Jesus had TWO natures at the SAME time DURING the days of his FLESH, one divine, and one human. So then, if you are a Trinitarian or Oneness Pentecostal Christian, simply ask yourself the following questions. #1. How does it make logical sense to you for an ALREADY Almighty God Himself to be MADE better than the angels that were created by Almighty God Himself? #2. How does it make logical sense to you for an ALREADY Almighty God Himself to OBTAIN a more excellent NAME than the angels that He Himself created? #3. How does it make logical sense to you for an ALREADY Almighty God to be HIGHLY EXALTED to join his God and Father to sit on his Father’s throne for ONLY 1000 years and then step down from being a God? #4. How does it make logical sense to you that an ALREADY Almighty God who supposedly stripped Himself of all His power to become a human being but yet supposedly REMAINED the FULLY Almighty God Himself could do NOTHING OF himself, according to John 5:19? #5. How does it make logical sense to you that an Almighty God is SUBJECT to Almighty God who is supposedly RESTORED to being EQUAL with Almighty God still be subject to Almighty God? How can an Almighty God be GIVEN the power to rule FOR Almighty God in the NAME OF Almighty God for ONLY 1000 years and then commit the ruling back into the hands of Almighty God, his God and Father after the 1000 years has ended? #6. And how does it make logical since that being HIGHLY EXALTED mean to be made LOWER and inferior to what a so-called God the Son was before he supposedly STRIPPED himself of all his divine power to take on human flesh. Do not the words, HIGHLY exalted mean BETTER than what you were before one is HIGHLY exalted? So then, if a so-called stripped down God the Son was highly exalted to be RESTORED to his old glory to what he was before God the Son incarnated himself to become flesh, then HOW is God the Son ruling over the earth for ONLY 1000 years being HIGHLY exalted? That sound to me like God the Son was demoted to be made lower than God the Father after the cross, rather than being HIGHLY EXALTED like the Bible states as a FACT? But when the HUMAN Son of God was HIGHLY exalted for being LOWER than to angel to BECOME a God over the angels to rule for God in God’s NAME, then THAT is EASY to understand as being HIGHLY EXALTED! Now, if the Oneness Pentecostal doctrine makes perfect sense to YOU, then I am fine with you continuing to believe what makes perfect sense to you. But please know and understand that there are many Oneness Pentecostal Christians who can no longer believe in the DOCTRINE that Jesus is Almighty God the FATHER Himself in the flesh having two natures at the SAME time DURING the days of his FLESH, one divine, and one human. So please do not judge them for simply believing what the Holy Spirit is teaching them from the WHOLE word of God when the Scriptures are correctly interpreted in the LIGHT of ALL of the Scriptures. And if the doctrine of the Trinity makes perfect sense to YOU, then I am fine with you continuing to believe what makes perfect sense to you. But please know and understand that there are many Trinitarian Christians who can no longer believe in the DOCTRINE that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the flesh having two natures at the SAME time DURING the days of his FLESH, one divine, and one human. So please do not judge them for simply believing what the Holy Spirit is teaching them from the WHOLE word of God when the Scriptures are correctly interpreted in the LIGHT of ALL of the Scriptures. And please do not judge Biblical Unitarian Christians for believing that the ONE TRUE God is ONE God in ONE person who begat Himself a HUMAN Son at the virgin birth of Jesus. And then, God TRAINED His human Son in the way he should go to not depart from it. And then, God ANOINTED His grown human Son with His own Holy Spirit and power to be WITH His human Son by DWELLING in His human Son. And then, after God’s anointed human Son accomplished all of his God and Father’s Will even to die on the cross, THEN Almighty God HIGHLY EXALTED His human Son, Jesus, and GAVE him a NEW NAME higher than any other name. And God did that so that every knee will bow at the NAME of Jesus in the world to come. And that every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord in the world to come to the glory of Almighty God, the Father. And then, after the Millennial reign of Jesus as God over the whole EARTH, Jesus will step down from being a God ruling for his God and Father in the NAME of the one true God. For you see, Jesus will commit the ruling of the Kingdom back into the hands of his God and Father, the ONLY TRUE God, according to John 17:1-3. And that is WHY I myself, and Biblical Unitarian Christians, teach that Jesus is the FULFILLMENT of PROPHECY. And thus, to us, Jesus is the WORKMANSHIP of Yahweh and NOT Yahweh Himself in the flesh. Therefore, we believe that the word made flesh in John 1:14 means FLESH just as it says. So, to ME, to add the INTERPRETATION that the word was made flesh but yet remained fully God that has no Scriptures to support it, is the same as ADDING to the word of God itself. Now, I myself, as well as every Bible teacher, adds comments to the word of God to EXPLAIN God's word. And for every comment or interpretation that I give, I have Scriptures to support my opinions, which do not contradict any other part of God's word. But the two natures at the SAME time DURING the days of his FLESH man-made doctrine has no Scriptures to support it. And history teaches us that the dual nature theory was basically forced upon Christians to be accepted in the fifth century. The Council of Chalcedon anathematized or cursed those who taught that Christ had only a single nature. And many Christians chose to be exiled and even death, rather than accepting the FALSE Roman Catholic Church doctrine of Jesus having tow natures at the SAME time during the days of his FLESH Now, we as Biblical Unitarian Christians believe that the human Son of God was made a PARTAKER of the DIVINE NATURE of immortality after the cross and resurrection when his God and Father HIGHLY exalted him.
