V-25. WHAT DOES JOHN 1:1 TRULY MEAN?

Here is what I believe that John 1:1 truly means.

I believe that the “beginning” in John 1:1 is NOT speaking of the very very beginning of creation. But rather, I believe that John 1:1 is speaking of the FOUNDATION of the earth. Now some of you may be thinking that the foundation of the earth is the SAME thing as the very very beginning of the creation of the earth. And I used to think that as well until I looked up the meaning of the word “foundation” of the earth and found that it was speaking of the RE-CREATING or the RESTORING of the earth after the earth became VOID and vacant. Please read the study “WHAT DOES THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH TRULY MEAN?” But for now, let us continue with this study on the TRUE meaning of John 1:1 that it means to ME.

I believe that in the very very beginning before anything was created there was Spirit and NO other being was WITH the ONE Spirit.

Then I believe that Spirit began creating things out from himself by speaking words.

So the FIRST thing that Spirit brought forth was his alphabet to form words.

In the Hebrew Bible in Genesis 1:1, God created the Aleph and the Tav which is the same as saying God created the Alpha and the Omega. In other words, the invisible Spirit God created WORDS that were at first within God in His MIND. Then the invisible Spirit God word formed IMAGES in His mind of what He desired to create. And then, the invisible Spirit God SPOKE those images in His mind out from Himself in the form of WORDS or PROPHECY. And thus, the light that God brought forth into existence in Genesis 1:3 is a PROPHECY of Jesus as being the LIGHT of the world who will separate the darkness from the light. That is why Christians are called the children of the DAY and the unsaved are called the children of the NIGHT.

Genesis 1:3.

“And God SAID let there BE light and there was light.”

Another way to say this is that LIGHT was the SAYING that God spoke forth out from Himself to create LIGHT. In other words, what God SPEAKS comes into existence.

So when the invisible Spirit God Yahweh says, “I am the Alpha and the Omega” He is saying, “I shall be who or what I am BECOMING.” And I will show you in just a moment from the word of God that this is exactly what happens when God speaks forth His word out from His mouth.

So then, before anything is created, the invisible Spirit God SPEAKS forth His desire of the IMAGE that is WITHIN Himself to come out from Himself in the form of WORDS or His SAYINGS. And then, that SAYING or that PROPHECY of the invisible Spirit God Yahweh is PERFORMED by Yahweh to come into existence. To say this another way, Yahweh the invisible Spirit God PROPHESIES everything into existence, including His Son, Jesus. 

Please read Isaiah 46:9,10.

“Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 

10.  DECLARING the END FROM the BEGINNING, and from ancient times the things that are NOT YET DONE, SAYING,My counsel (Or my PLAN, speaking of God’s secret PLAN of salvation that he kept SECRET from his ENEMY Satan from the FOUNDATION of the earth) shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:” 

In other words, the invisible Spirit God CALLS or PROPHESIES what is NOT YET DONE just as though they already are.

Romans 4:17.

“(As it is written, I have made you a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickens the dead, and CALLS those things which BE NOT as though they WERE.”

So then, the spoken word of prophecy that came forth out from God IS God’s SPOKEN LIVING WORD which is SPIRIT. And ALL of creation came into existence THROUGH the LIVING WORD which Spirit God spoke forth out from Himself. In other words, the living word is a PART of Almighty God much like our words are a PART of us. We would never say that our word is a SEPARATE being that is WITH us. But that is the way that some Christians INTERPRET John 1:1. They interpret the Word in John 1:1 as being a SEPARATE divine eternal being who was WITH God at God’s side and that the Word created everything that exists.

But that INTERPRETATION goes against what the rest of God’s word teaches us.

Please read Isaiah 44:24.

“Thus says the LORD, (Or thus says Yahweh) you redeemer, and he that formed you from the womb, I am the LORD (Or I am Yahweh) that makes ALL THINGS; that stretches forth the heavens ALONE; that spreads abroad the earth BY MYSELF;”

So then, according to the word of truth, Yahweh was ALONE and BY HIMSELF when He ALONE and BY HIMSELF created all thing BY PROPHESYING all things into existence. Remember that we just read in Isaiah 46:9 that Yahweh said that He is God and there is NONE ELSE. Yahweh said that he is God and there is NONE like him. So these verses are teaching us that Yahweh was ALONE and there was NO OTHER being WITH Him when Yahweh ALONE and BY HIMSELF created all things by DECLARING the end FROM the beginning. In other words, Yahweh SPOKE forth words out from within Himself and those spoken words had LIFE in them because those spoken words of Yahweh are SPIRIT. And the SOURCE of all life is the invisible Spirit God. But no other LIFE existed BEFORE God SPOKE the IMAGE that He had in His MIND into existence.

So to me, Yahweh alone and by Himself created everything that exists OUT FROM HIMSELF as opposed to Yahweh created everything that exists out of NOTHING. For you see, to ME, the LIVING WORD that came forth out from God is NOT NOTHING. The living word is SPIRIT. The living word is a PART of God. The living word was the FIRST thing that God CREATED or brought forth. And that is WHY Yahweh says that He is the Alpha and the Omega. And when Yahweh says, “I am the Alpha and the Omega” Yahweh is saying, “I SHALL BECOME who or what I AM BECOMING”.

Please read the LITERAL translation of both Genesis 1:3 and Exodus 3:14.

The LITERAL translation of Genesis 1:3 says,

“And he is saying Elohim (Or God is SAYING) he SHALL BECOME light and he IS BECOMING light.”

The LITERAL translation of Exodus 3:14 says,

“And HE is SAYING Elohim TO Moses (Or Spirit God is SAYING to Moses)  I  (Yahweh, the Lord God the Almighty) SHALL BECOME WHO I AM BECOMING and HE is SAYING thus you (Moses) shall say to the sons of Israel I SHALL BECOME HE has sent me to you.”

Yahweh ALONE and by Himself PROPHESIED everything into existence OUT FROM Himself by SPEAKING words of life out from Himself. That is what it means when Yahweh the CREATOR says, I am the Alpha and the Omega.

BUT, when Jesus says that he is the Alpha and the Omega he is saying that he came into existence BY the LIVING WORD. And that is why Jesus is called the Word of LIFE in 1 John 1:1.

1 John 1:1.

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, OF the Word of life;”

That means that they were eyewitnesses of Jesus’ death and that they TOUCHED his new glorified immortal body of flesh and bones after God resurrected the Son of man, Jesus. The LIVING word WAS in the FORM of SPIRIT God BEFORE the living word of PROPHECY became FLESH. And when I say that the “word” became flesh I mean that the SPOKEN word of PROPHECY LITERALLY became a human being void of any divine nature. The word became flesh in the SAME way that a TREE was once in the FORM of the SPIRIT of God's spoken word and BECAME a TREE when God SPOKE that tree into existence. EVERYTHING that exists WAS in the FORM of the DIVINE SPIRIT before it came into existence in the visible realm of creation. But AFTER the spoken word comes to PASS the IMAGE that God created NO LONGER has any DIVINE NATURE in it. A tree is not fully divine and a natural tree at the same time.That LIFE in a tree is on LOAN so to speak, and when the tree dies that Spirit life goes back to God the very moment that a tree dies. But the LIFE that is in man's SPIRIT remains connected to man's soul UNTIL the Day of Judgment. And that is one of many reasons why the doctrine of soul sleep in FALSE teaching. Please read the studies under the heading >>>THE FALSE DOCTRINE OF SOUL SLEEP!<<< So then, IF the soul of a man is found worthy to receive ETERNAL LIFE then God's Spirit REMAINS connected to those worthy souls. BUT if a man is found unworthy to receive eternal life in the world to come then God separates His spirit of LIFE from that soul by burning those wicked souls in the lake of fire until they are consumed. And then the Spirit of life RETURNS to God.

So what does all this mean? It means that Jesus pre-existed AS SPIRIT or as Almighty God himself just the same as every creation of the invisible Spirit God pre-existed AS SPIRIT or as God himself, as in, everything began as an IMAGE in the MIND of the invisible Spirit God.

For you see, in the very very beginning, there was only ONE Spirit who was the ONE TRUE creator God in ONE person. And that One God, in the one being, who was alone and by himself, created everything that exists including his Son Jesus by PROPHESYING all things into existence.

ALL of creation came forth into existence OUT FROM Yahweh the one true God who is SPIRIT, the UNSEEN invisible God.

And HOW Yahweh the invisible Spirit God did this is by VIBRATING as SOUND waves which were produced by him SPEAKING forth words out from himself. And all things are held together BY the FREQUENCY of that VIBRATION of SPIRIT. The meaning of the Hebrew word that is translated as the Spirit “MOVED” upon the face of the waters in Genesis 1:2 means to vibrate, to flutter, to SHAKE.

Here is what E-Sword says.

H7363

רָחַף

râchaph

raw-khaf'

A primitive root; to brood; by implication to be relaxed: - flutter, move, shake.

Also, please read Hebrews 11:3.

“Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that things which are seen were NOT made of things which do appear.”

In other words, the Apostles of Jesus Christ UNDERSTOOD that everything that exists was created BY the word of God in that everything was created FROM that which is INVISIBLE by God CALLING things that are NOT YET DONE as though they were already done. And that is why some PROPHECY sounds like it is “HISTORY” of the past rather than the prophecy of the future.

Plain and simple, nothing that is made came into existence without Spirit God SPEAKING it into existence. It was NOT the living word that SPOKE forth the living word out from the Living word’s mouth. But rather, it was Yahweh the FATHER of all creation who spoke living words of prophecy out from His mouth to BECOME whatever He SPOKE to come into being. Let us read Exodus 3:14 again from the LITERAL translation.

The LITERAL translation of Exodus 3:14 says,

“And HE is SAYING Elohim TO Moses (Or Spirit God is SAYING to Moses)  I  (Yahweh, the Lord God the Almighty) SHALL BECOME WHO I AM BECOMING and HE is SAYING thus you (Moses) shall say to the sons of Israel I SHALL BECOME HE has sent me to you.”

So then, you can clearly see that it is the great I AM that I AM who is the one doing the SPEAKING. In other words, it is Yahweh the INVISIBLE Spirit God who is PROPHESYING that HE shall BECOME WHO He is prophesying Himself, as in, what SPIRIT shall BECOME. For you see, God is SPIRIT and everything God creates comes out from SPIRIT because nothing else existed. Please read the study “DID GOD CREATE ALL THINGS OUT OF NOTHING?” So then, the WHO that the great I am is PROPHESYING to become PERFORMED His spoken word of PROPHECY and the spoken word of PROPHECY BECAME Jesus. And the Apostle John is teaching us this truth in John 1:1 as the word that was with God is God's spoken word of PROPHECY that became flesh FIRST and then the human Jesus was highly exalted to become a God to rule for Yahweh in Yahweh's NAME for 1000 years in the world to come.

So then, HOW did the Great I AM that I AM, the invisible Spirit God, BECOME Jesus, the express IMAGE of himself? By Yahweh ALONE and BY HIMSELF speaking forth his word of PROPHECY out from his mouth. And then Yahweh watched over his word of prophecy to PERFORM it. And the spoken word of PROPHECY, which again, is SPIRIT is ALIVE and able to give LIFE became FLESH. For you see, SPIRIT is the SOURCE of all life PRODUCED or conceived a fetus in the womb of the Virgin Mary to bring forth a HUMAN CHILD of FLESH stripped of the divine nature of having LIFE in himself.

That is WHY the Bible calls the period of time from the virgin birth of Jesus to the cross the DAYS of his FLESH.

Please read Hebrews 5:6-10.

“As he says (Or and Yahweh prophesied) also in another place, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchisedec. (Speaking of the Son of man, Jesus being made our high priest after the cross) 

7.  Who IN the days of his FLESH, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him (Referring to Yahweh, his God, and Father) that was able to SAVE him (Or REDEEM Jesus) from death, and was heard in that he (Jesus) feared; 

8. Though he was a Son, (Speaking of the HUMAN Son that was miraculously conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary as the FULFILLMENT of PROPHECY that came forth from the Father OUT FROM God) yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 

9.  And being MADE PERFECT, (Speaking of being GIVEN the divine nature of IMMORTALITY to be having in himself even AS the Father has always had eternal life in Himself being the SOURCE of all life) HE (The Son of MAN) BECAME the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 

10.  CALLED OF God a high priest after the order of Melchisedec.”

So then, the days of his FLESH was when the invisible SPIRIT spoken word of God was STRIPPED of all ITS divine nature to become FLESH, a SEPARATE distinct being from Almighty God Himself. To say this another way, the invisible Spirit God created an IMAGE of Himself so that He could be SEEN or UNDERSTOOD. YES! According to the Bible ITSELF, Jesus was CREATED! Please read the study “IS JESUS THE CREATOR OR A CREATION?” Some Christians argue that if God creates everything out FROM Himself then God would eventually cease to exist as God and only be what He created. God creating all things out from Himself does NOT mean that God will cease to exist as the divine eternal God. For you see, Spirit is INFINITE. Remember that 1 John 1:1 says that the Apostles of Jesus handled “OF” the word of life. So only a minute PART of Spirit became flesh. Let us read that verse again.

1 John 1:1.

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, OF the Word of life;”

And at first, that IMAGE OF the invisible Spirit God was fully a HUMAN being the same as every other human has NO DIVINE nature.

Then, when the Son of MAN, Jesus, was just about to turn 30 years of age, God called him to preach the gospel of the kingdom. And it was at the BAPTISM of the Son of MAN, Jesus, that the invisible Spirit God, Almighty God the Father, ANOINTED the Son of MAN, Jesus, with his Holy Spirit and POWER. And THEN Jesus went about doing good healing all who were oppressed of the Devil.

And that anointing of Spirit God's Holy Spirit EMPOWERED the Son of MAN, Jesus, to overcome sin, do all the miracles, raise the dead, forgive sins, and finally OFFER himself on the cross as the atonement for the sins of the world THROUGH the eternal Spirit who DWELT IN him.

Please read Hebrews 9:14.

“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who THROUGH the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” 

And AFTER the ANOINTED Son of MAN became OBEDIENT to HIS God and Father to do all the WILL OF the Father even to suffer and die on the cross then that is WHEN God raised the Son of MAN from the dead and GLORIED him by GIVING him the divine nature of immortality to be having IN HIMSELF EVEN AS the Father has always had immortality in himself.

Please read John 5:26,27.

“For AS the Father HAS life in himself; so has he GIVEN TO the Son TO HAVE life in himself; 

27.  AND has GIVEN him the authority to execute JUDGMENT also, BECAUSE he is the Son of MAN.” 

That is also WHEN the Son of MAN, Jesus became God's ETERNAL Son, the firstborn of every creature, the firstborn human Son of God begotten from the dead to be GIVEN eternal life to become the FIRST FRUITS unto Spirit God, the firstborn among MANY brethren. That is when Yahweh the Father HIGHLY EXALTED the Son of MAN, Jesus, and GAVE him a NEW NAME that is higher than every other name.

Please read Philippians 2:8-11.

“And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 

9.  WHEREFORE (Or for this very REASON of the anointed Son of MAN, Jesus, offering himself of his own free will to suffer and die on the cross through the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in him) God also has HIGHLY EXALTED him, and GIVEN him a NAME which is above every NAME: 

10.  THAT (Or so that or in order that) at the NAME (Speaking of the NEW NAME) of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 

11.  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ IS Lord, TO the GLORY OF God the Father.” 

The invisible Spirit God is our heavenly Father but Jesus is our BROTHER who the one true invisible Spirit God HIGHLY EXALTED to become God's King of kings and Lord of lords.

So, basically, all Christians believe the exact same thing. EXCEPT some Christians place the FIRSTBORN of every creature in the eternity PAST as a LITERAL preexisting Son of God that the invisible Spirit God supposedly sent down from heaven to incarnate himself in the womb of the Virgin Mary. And then that supposed LITERAL ALREADY PREEXISTING Son of God BECAME the human SON OF God. And the eternal God the Son supposedly REMAINED the fully divine eternal Almighty God the Son having TWO natures, one divine eternal nature, and one human mortal nature. However, those Christians have absolute NO verses of Scripture that teach us that Jesus had TWO NATURES at the SAME time during the DAYS of his FLESH.

To say this another way, some Christians INTERPRET the Scriptures to mean that God the Son, a SECOND divine eternal BEING was WITH God at his side in eternity past. And in that group of Christians, there are some who believe that God the Son had NO BEGINNING and he always existed as the second person of a Trinity God. While other Christians INTERPRET Colossians 1:15 as Jesus being the very first creature that was BORN or begotten by God in eternity past. So they believe that Jesus did indeed have a BEGINNING but that beginning was in eternity PAST.

But NEITHER of those INTERPRETATIONS is what Exodus 3:14 actually says. Let us read Exodus 3:14 one more time from the LITERAL translation. And Please notice that it is Yahweh who is the one doing the SPEAKING or the PROPHESYING.

The LITERAL translation of Exodus 3:14 says,

“And HE is SAYING Elohim TO Moses (Or the invisible Spirit God Yahweh is SAYING to Moses)  I  (Yahweh, the Lord God the Almighty) SHALL BECOME WHO I AM BECOMING and HE is SAYING thus you (Moses) shall say to the sons of Israel I SHALL BECOME HE has sent me to you.”

So then, you can clearly see that it is the great I AM that I AM who is the one doing the SPEAKING. In other words, it is Yahweh, the INVISIBLE Spirit God, who is the one PROPHESYING that HE shall BECOME WHO he is prophesying himself to BECOME. And the “WHO” that the Great I AM is PROPHESYING to become PERFORMED his own spoken word of PROPHECY that came forth out from his own mouth that BECAME Jesus. The word BECAME FLESH and that human CHILD was given the name Jesus.

Can you not see that it is the Great I AM who is the ONE who became the “WHO” that was prophesied to be? It was not the WHO that became the WHO. In other words, it was NOT the SON who became the SON. It was NOT a separate divine being named the Word who was doing the PROPHESYING that he would become WHO he shall become. It was NOT God the Son who became the Son of man.

It was Almighty God the Father HIMSELF who BECAME the SON through SPEAKING words of PROPHECY out from Himself. BUT Almighty God being invisible SPIRIT did NOT REMAIN the Almighty God the Father as the Oneness Christians WRONGLY believe and teach. The living SPIRIT word of PROPHECY became FLESH first, And the AFTER the cross Almighty God highly exalted the Son of MAN, Jesus to JOIN his God and Father on his Father's throne to rule AS god FOR God in God's NAME for 1000 years. And all of this is being done to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels guilty as charged. Please read the studies under the heading >>>WHY ARE WE HERE?-IS GOD AT WAR?<<<

So the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of God is to take just a LITTLE TINY bit of what the Oneness Christians teach which is Almighty God the Father BECAME the SON as opposed to the Trinitarian belief that God the SON became the SON.

So keep that ONE truth of what Oneness Christians teach concerning a God being manifested in the flesh and then throw out the rest of what Oneness Christians believe concerning that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the flesh.

 And then take a LITTLE TINY bit of what Trinitarian Christians believe and teach which is that Jesus is a SEPARATE DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT person from the Father. And then throw out the rest of what Trinitarians teach which is the LITERAL PREEXISTENCE of God the Son who incarnated himself to become flesh and remain Almighty God at the SAME time having two natures, one divine and one human DURING the days of his FLESH.

And then take what Biblical Unitarians teach about Jesus coming into existence for the first time AT the virgin birth and put it all together.

For you see, Biblical Unitarians have ALMOST everything correct except they believe that God created everything out of NOTHING and they teach the false doctrine of soul sleep. Plus, many of them also teach the false pre-tribulation rapture of the church. But they do not believe that the invisible Spirit God Himself BECAME Jesus, but rather, Biblical Unitarian Christians believe that the literal SPOKEN word of PROPHECY that came out from God's mouth became FLESH void of any divine nature.

But they believe that Jesus was created out of NOTHING.

And, to ME, the LIVING WORD is NOT NOTHING. The living word is a PART of the living God which is SPIRIT.

Well, that is what I believe.

So you could say that I am CLOSER to being a Biblical Unitarian Christian than I am to any other faith or belief about who Jesus is that is out there. I no longer believe in the man-made doctrine of the Trinity and the Oneness Pentecostal belief is s far off that I could never become a Oneness Pentecostal Christian. Now, I am a Pentecostal Christians in that I am a Spirit filled Christians who believes in the gifts of the Holy Spirit including speaking in other tongues is for the church today. And I am also a Oneness Christians, in that, I believe in ONE TRUE God is ONE person who begat Himself a human Son at the virgin birth and then highly exalted His HUMAN Son to become a God to JOIN his God and Father on his Father's throne. I believe that Jesus will rule ONLY for 1000 years in the world to come and commit the ruling of the Father's kingdom back into his creators hands at the end of the 1000 year reign of Jesus, according to 1 Corinthians 15:20-28.

 I am sorry, but I just can not accept any belief that INTERPRETS the Scriptures to claim that Jesus IS the Almighty HIMSELF because I know that the Scriptures teach us that Jesus is the LAMB. And Revelation chapter 4 and chapter 5 clearly teaches us that the Lamb CAME OVER TO the one sitting on the throne and took the book OUT OF the right hand OF the Lord God the Almighty who sits on the throne.

Please read Revelation 5:1=7.

“And I saw IN the right hand OF HIM that SAT on the THRONE a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. (And in Revelation 4:1-9 the one who SAT on the THRONE is clearly identified as the Lord God Almighty Himself)

2.  And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, WHO is WORTHY to open the book, and to loosen the seals thereof? 

3.  And NO MAN in heaven, nor in the earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 

4.  And I wept much because NO MAN was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 

5.  And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 

6.  And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 

7.  And HE (The now glorified Son of MAN, the LAMB of God who laid down his own life of his own free will to suffer and die for the sins of the whole world is found WORTHY. And the Lamb) came and took the book OUT OF the right hand OF HIM that SAT upon the THRONE.”

The Lord God Almighty is described as being the one who was and is and is to come. The one who WAS and is the Almighty, the invisible Spirit God who alone is the ONE TRUE God who has always existed WITHOUT ever having a beginning. And the one who IS speaks of the Almighty invisible God who BECAME the LAMB through His SPOKEN word of PROPHECY. And the one who shall come is Almighty God who shall come WITH His Son at the coming of Jesus.

So then, the Bible BEGINS with ONE God and it ends with TWO Gods, the Father, AND His Son. In other words, Almighty God the Father is the INVISIBLE God who has always existed having NO BEGINNING. And His Son is the spoken word of prophecy come to pass to BECOME a God to rule FOR Yahweh the Father in the world to come for 1000 years. And AFTER the 1000 years has ended, then Jesus will STEP DOWN from ruling for Yahweh the Father and commit the kingdom back into the hands of Almighty God the Father.

Here is 1 Corinthians 15:21-28 from the Weymouth New Testament.

“For seeing that death came through MAN, through MAN comes also the resurrection of the dead. (And NOT through God the Son but rather through the anointed Son of MAN came the resurrection of the dead) 

22. For just as through Adam all die, so also through Christ (The second man, Adam) all will be made alive again. 

23. But this will happen to each in the right order--Christ having been the first to rise, (The firstborn of every creature to become the FIRST FRUITS unto God) and afterward Christ's people rising at His return. 

24. Later on, comes the End, (Speaking of the end of the 1000 year reign of Jesus as the Lord of the Sabbath) when He (Jesus) is to SURRENDER the Kingship TO God, the Father, when He shall have overthrown all other government and all other authority and power. 

25. For He must continue King until He shall have put all His enemies under His feet.

26. The last enemy that is to be overthrown is Death; 

27.  For He will have put all things in subjection under His feet. And when He shall have declared that "All things are in subjection," it will be with the manifest exception of Him who has reduced them all to subjection to Him. 

28. But when the whole universe has been made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will ALSO become SUBJECT to Him who has made the universe subject to Him, in order that GOD may be all in all.”

Now, let us read John 1:1c as a PROPHECY as opposed to being the HISTORY of eternity past.

John 1:1c from the King James Version.

“...and the Word was God.”

In other words, the spoken word of prophecy that was within God, in the beginning, was “God” just like the word was “light” in Genesis 1:3. And God said let there be light and there was light. So then, it the same way that light was the word in Genesis 1:3. I want you to at least consider the phrase “the word was God” as being a PROPHECY of God prophesying a God into existence. When you read the PROPHECY in Isaiah 9:6,7 you can see the ORDER of the events prophesied, A CHILD in prophesied to be born first. And then a SON is GIVEN speaking of the human child growing up to become the Son of MAN was given to die on the cross. And THEN, at the time that the government shall be laid upon his shoulders, his NAME shall be called the Mighty God. So to ME< John 1:1 is A God was the SAYING just like God said let be LIGHT and the spoken word of prophecy became the light of the world. God said in so many words in Isaiah 9:6,7 let there be a God to rule for me in the world to come and there was a God. The PROPHECY came to pass. Will not Jesus RULE and REIGN for Yahweh during the world to come?

Now, let us read John 1:1 from the LITERAL translation so that you can see that the Greek word “logos” that was translated as the “Word” with a capital “W” to make the Word seem to be a separate person named the Word is in truth the SAYING OF God.

Here John 1:1 from the LITERAL translation.

“In beginning was the SAYING and the SAYING was TOWARD THE God, and GOD was the SAYING.”

And God was the SAYING and the SAYING became a God who is under and subject to THE God to rule FOR Yahweh the Father in the world to come for 1000 years. The Father is the INVISIBLE God and the Son is the VISIBLE IMAGE OF the invisible God. They are NOT one and the self same God because everything that Jesus is and has was GIVEN TO him BY his God and Father the ONLY TRUE God.

And every knee shall bow to the NAME of Jesus speaking of the NEW NAME that the invisible only true God GAVE to his King of kings and Lord of lords TO the GLORY OF Almighty God the FATHER. And I believe that Jesus' NEW NAME is Yahweh our righteousness just as it was PROPHESIED to be.

Please read Jeremiah 23:5-8.

“Behold, the days come, says the LORD, (Or thus PROPHESIES Yahweh) that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and (HE the highly exalted Son of MAN, Jesus) shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. 

6.  In his DAYS (Speaking of both the day of his FLESH and the day of his kingship) Judah (Referring to the Son of David, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world) shall be saved, (Or redeemed from death in the first of his days) and Israel shall dwell safely: (During the day of his kingship) and THIS IS HIS NAME whereby he SHALL BE CALLED, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Or the NEW NAME of Jesus that he SHALL BE called in the world to come is Yahweh our righteousness)

7.  Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD lives, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; (Speaking of the invisible Yahweh the Father who ALONE and BY HIMSELF created all things)

8.  BUT, (Or but rather, the children of Israel will say) The LORD lives, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them, and they shall dwell in their own land.”

So then, we have the first Yahweh during the Old Testament times who has always existed without ever having a beginning. And then we have the second Lord who was FORMED or MADE by the first Yahweh to be Yahweh’s King of kings and Lord of Lords to REPLACE Lucifer who rebelled against God to try and take over God’s THRONE to be as God over the EARTH for 1000 years in the world to come. Always remember that Jesus will commit the ruling of his God and father's kingdom back into the hands of Almighty God the Father who created him. Please read the studies “THE WAR IN HEAVEN-REVELATION 12!”, “WHO IS LUCIFER-IS LUCIFER SATAN?”, and “WHAT DOES THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD TRULY MEAN?”

You see my dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ, the GOAL of Yahweh creating mankind in the first place was to try, convict, and punish Lucifer and the fallen angels for making WAR to try and take over God’s throne. And DURING that war the earth that God had originally created in the very beginning became VOID and empty. Please read the LITERAL translation of Genesis 1:2.

Genesis 1:2 from the LITERAL translation.

“And the earth she BECAME CHAOS and VACANCY and darkness over surfaces of the abyss.”

And when God was about to destroy Lucifer and the fallen angels for making war with him, Lucifer falsely accused God of CREATING him evil. So God said, Let us make man in our image or God said to the angels, the Elohim, here is what we will do, we will make man after our likeness BUT let us make the man or the humans a little lower and INFERIOR to you angels so that I can prove to you that what I create, I create PERFECT in the day that I create it. And if ONE MAN can live without sin then I will cast you Lucifer and all you fallen angles with Satan into the lake of fire and destroy you Lucifer and all you fallen angels as well.

And God devised a SECRET PLAN of salvation that day and HID many PROPHECIES in His word of His future human Son whom He would MAKE both Lord and Christ. Even in Genesis 2:26 God HID a PROPHECY that His future Messiah would read knowing that the pronoun “US” was speaking of him as being the prophesied Messiah and his God working together to make fallen man into the image of his God and Father. But first, the Father needed conform the Son of man into the PERFECT IMAGE of God after the cross. But FIRST, the Son of MAN would have to learn obedience to live without sin and be MADE PERFECT first. And all of this is PROPHESIED in the Scriptures.

BUT there is not one word of prophecy or teaching in the entire Bible of a so-called God the Son coming down from heaven to incarnate himself to become Jesus having TWO NATURES at the SAME time DURING the DAYS of his FLESH.

And that is why I can no no longer believe in the man-made doctrine of the Trinity. And if you disagree then I am fine with that. If the doctrine of the Trinity sounds logical to you then I am fine with that. If the doctrine of Oneness sounds logical to you then I am fine with that. If you believe that God created Jesus first and then Jesus created everything else and that all sounds logical to YOU then I am fine with that. All I am saying is that NONE of those theories sound LOGICAL to ME. I  find that ALL of those theories CONTRADICT other parts of God’s word. So what YOU believe is between you and God.

But what I believe and teach must NOT contradict any other part of God’s word. And what I believe must be LOGICAL to ME. And to ME, Almighty God cannot possibly have ANOTHER God OVER himself. And Jesus does indeed have another God OVER him. And that one undeniable FACT makes it impossible for Jesus to be Almighty God HIMSELF.

Jesus is said to be the IMAGE OF the invisible God. And that is easy to understand and does not go against logic and common sense. But I myself must believe that Jesus became the express IMAGE of God to be MADE PERFECT AFTER the cross and NOT in the eternity past. And for all of the Scripture of WHY I must believe and teach that Jesus became a God AFTER the CROSS please read all the studies under the heading >>>WAS JESUS CREATED?<<<

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

Your brother in our Lord Jesus Christ,

Brother Mark.
