THE NEW SPIRITUAL SPECIES (one)

 “…having forgiven you all trespasses…” Colossians 2:13

            Of what stunt am I expected to pull to perfect the finished toil of God as pertaining to the salvation of man? Being told of an engagement in a life-long work of morality to maintain my spiritual regeneration, doubtless, makes me the consummator of my salvation. The Christian soteriological stance is of eternal consequence (John 3:15, 16; 10:28). Do I have the capacity to containerise the essence of divine soteriology? Does theology imbue regeneracy with the power of sustenance, thereby, keeping my salvation as new as when the Author of salvation rose from the dead for my justification? What elbow grease can any Christian consummate to save himself from losing his spiritual regeneration? Having paid in full when He said, “It is finished,” how much am I still owing?  Selah!

           What did God do? He sowed Jesus as a seed faith to serve as the Divine mechanism for the regeneration of fallen Adam. Of course, Adam sinned to turn the perfection of day number six (where God said “very good” compared to “good” of days one to the fifth) into imperfection of mankind. All fell in Adam: the reason for a continual oblational act of exculpation. Then appeared Jesus. He died; the Just One. He rose to save all who would come to Him. Humanity perished in Adam, who could not save even himself. Jesus, on the other hand, rose to save, as the last Adam, and eternally too. The key of life is now in His divine hand. All Jesus had to do was to commit just one sin to plunge us back into hell bound sin. I thank God for His wisdom. “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out” [Romans 11:33]!

            The germination of Jesus bore fruits. They are called Christians -the new species of the creativity of Jehovah. Is there any crop that builds a silo for itself? Is it not the farmer who puts the valuable fruitfulness into the preserving silo? Jesus is the vine -the true vine. God the Father is the Husbandman who places the regenerated new species of creation into Christ, the Eternal Son, in whom is life -life eternal. As no man can save himself, no man can, as well, maintain this newness of spiritual life in Christ Jesus, who is the Author and Finisher of the saving faith. Amen!

          Colossians chapter two is quite informative in this regard. Let us look at verse 13 which reads, “And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses.” The word ‘dead’ is nekros (nek-ros’): ‘From an apparently primary word νέκυς nekus (a corpse); dead (literally or figuratively.’ The next word ‘in,’ is en (en): ‘a primary preposition denoting (fixed) position (in place, time or state).’ ‘Sins’ is paraptōma (par-ap’-to-mah): ‘a side slip (lapse or deviation), that is, (unintentional) error or (wilful) transgression.’ Then we have ‘quickened together’ suzōopoieō (sood-zo-op-oy-eh’-o): ‘to reanimate conjointly with (figuratively).’ The word ‘with’ which is sun (soon) is ‘A primary preposition denoting union; with or together [but much closer than meta (met-ah’) denoting accompaniment; “amid” (local or causal) after, behind; or para (par-ah’) ‘from, of, at, by, besides, near], ‘that is, by association, companionship, process, resemblance, possession, instrumentality, addition, etc.’ Charizomai (khar-id’-zom-ahee) is the Greek for ‘forgiven’ and it is defined as: ‘to grant as a favor, that is, gratuitously, in kindness, pardon or rescue.’ We have ‘all’ which is pas (pas): ‘any, every, the whole.’ The word ‘trespasses’ is the same as the above paraptōma.

 He is risen! Forgiven forever!

            From the definitions above, the natural man’s deadness has its locational state in sinfulness. Mankind, in his Adamic nature, is nothing but a walking cadaver. Now, for the gentile nation of Colosse, which had no partaking of the Divine circumcision treaty, they were ‘doubly dead.’ Having agreed with the sooth of John 3:3 “…Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God;” and had gone ahead with its Romans 10:9-10 actuation, a miracle which only God could perform occurred. His rise from the dead had established a reanimation of believing souls! Christ Jesus happens to be an eternal Being. From that eternity past the Trinity had resolved to save the Adamic race.

                Get born again and be counted among the new species of humanity, say this prayer with all your heart and meaning it:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”

SATAN FELL BEFORE THE ETERNAL GOD (Revised) *2*

 WORSHIP: SATAN’S UNHOLY CRAVE

*2*            Adam did not understand that Lucifer was merely extending his apocalyptic judgment upon him and the entire humanity when he came to show the woman how to become God. Even till this very day, people hardly know how steep into an apocalyptic end they are being hounded into as they vote an emphatic, “Yes,” to Satanism. The doomed guy has done his perfect homework, or rather his covin work, with the sole intention of derailing man’s destiny of actuating godliness. “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness,” is the revelatory word of the Scripture.

 I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven

            I know that he knew his doom was a certainty from the word of God. Luke 10:18, “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven;” was the revelation of Jesus. In John 16:11, the Lord said, “Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.” ‘Is judged,’ grammatically, is in the perfect tense, therefore, Satan’s judgment is a foregone conclusion. Revelation 12:12 reveals, “Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” Satanism is an attempt to give dividends of doom to the inhabitants of the terra firma. Lucifer is an evil genius. A calculating nocent, who leaves no stone unturned in his deleterious proclivity.

Thou wast perfect in thy ‘light bearing’ ways…

            Remember the things Ezekiel 28:15 told us? He was ‘perfect’ at his creation. God did not make an evil being. He decided to be so, against God’s design. This is why he had successfully deceived billions of intelligent beings. He exhibits fallacy of ‘perfection.’ Satan’s ‘ways’ are no longer God’s ways. He has suffered a spiritual derailment. Anyone who follows him runs into derailment. He has been able to chart a lifestyle of delusion for his followers. He has kept them in the gulag of his religions.

            God said, “till iniquity was found in thee,” making Lucifer the man of ‘iniquity’ which, in Hebrew, is ‛evel (eh’-vel): ‘(moral) evil, injustice, unrighteousness; wrong.’ Lucifer, in his garb of unrighteousness, dared to look at, and challenged, the holiness of the One who sits on the throne, Judgment fell upon his stiff-necked penchant.

Now an angel of doom: who was once the light bearer.

                In conclusion, Satan’s fall was before an eternal ‘Ĕlôhı̂ym, so, expectedly, his doom must, as adjudication should have it, be eternal. Dolorously, Lucifer has no second chance to latch on to. No angel has that spiritual luxury bestowed on him at creationism. Lucifer behaved like no true son of Jehovah. Bastardy. How could he walk before God, capped in sheer expropriatory audacity? Usurpation. To even think he could, with the third angelic host, expugn heaven is crazy. Procacious! Lucifer, you cannot be worshipped as God. You do not go by the epithetic, “who was, who is, and is to come.” Jesus is truly so: for “And he is before all things, and by him all things consist” [Colossians 1:17]. The verb ‘is,’ esti (es-tee’), means: ‘Third person singular present indicative of Eime –the AM of God name, ‘I Am’– he (she or it) is; also (with neuter plural) they are.’ Esti, in this sense, is not about a being of creation. It speaks of ‘existence.’ The preposition ‘before’ is pro (pro) ‘fore, that is, in front of, prior (figuratively superior) to.’ This esti of Jesus is from eternity. None, save God, can claim to have an eternal existence.

                It also says of Him, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” [John 1:1]. ‘Beginning’ is archē (ar-khay’), meaning: ‘origin or commencement.’ Every ‘was’ of this verse is ēn (ane): ‘an imperfect tense of Eime; I (thou, etc.) was (wast or were).’ His being had been before creation and still remains so till eternity to come. So, what do we have here? “In the beginning” means: ‘before the origin or commencement of all time and created existence.’ Did the Word not give it (creation) being? Simply put, the time involved here is from all eternity. Jesus has all authority to claim deity; He, it was, who was involved in the ineffable kenoō of Philippians 2:7, “But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:”

                If the Bible says ‘form of a servant,’ it presupposes that He was, in truth, not a servant. The words ‘made’ and ‘reputation’ are of the same Greek, kenoō (ken-o’-o) ‘to make empty, that is, (figuratively) to abase, neutralize, falsify.’ Jesus emptied Himself of Deity! If not, who could had accosted Him, the Lord of glory, and arrested Him for judgment, flogging and the eventual crucifixion? If He had not kenoō Himself there would be no soteriological expectation!

           Thankfully, Adamic progeny has been graced with a second chance. Let him sin against God a million times; the million and first transgression that brings you before HIM becomes your 2nd chance. No angel was this fortunate!

                Be wise. Get Jesus involved in your life. Get born again. In all sincerity say this prayer of salvation:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”

SATAN FELL BEFORE THE ETERNAL GOD (Revised) *1*

“…and one sat on the throne” (Rev. 4:2) –The Eternal Father.

        Jehovah is a God of legality. He sits on the celestial throne as the Judge and King in the heavenly assizes. His adjudicatory essence receives a proof in Genesis 15:14, where He foretold what would befall Abraham’s progeny. “And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.” The word ‘judge’ is dı̂yn or dûn (deen) ‘to judge, contend, plead.’ Abraham, when he saw HIS day, took the opportunity to haggle the salvation of the population of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 18:25, “That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”Shâphaṭ (shaw-fat’) is the Hebrew word for ‘Judge,’ meaning: ‘to judge, govern, vindicate, punish.’ The LORD lounges on a throne and that accounts for HIS Majestic office. One of the innumerous celestial ministering subjects was Lucifer.

As one of the stars of heaven, Lucifer was the light bearer

            His proximity to the Creator, as the ‘light bearer’ (which is the definition of his name), and a highly intelligent being, leaves him no excuse to feign benightedness of what was expected of him and the consequences of any disobedience. Ezekiel 28:15, “Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.” ‘Perfect,’ from this verse is tâmı̂ym(taw-meem’): ‘complete, whole, entire, sound.’ ‘Ways’ is derek(deh’-rek): ‘a road (as trodden); figuratively a course of life or mode of action, often adverbially.’ The word ‘day’ is: yôm(yome): ‘day (which speaks of the hotness of the working period of sunshine), time, year.’ The next word,’created,’ is bârâ’ (baw-raw’): (absolutely) to create; (qualified) to cut down (a wood), select,feed (as formative processes).’And ‘iniquity’ ‛evel‛âvel‛avlâh‛ôlâh‛ôlâh(eh’-vel) (moral) evil, injustice, unrighteousness, wrong;’ proves that Lucifer did bring a decadent change upon himself, which caused his prideful fall.

Lucifer: a moulded creation of the Eternal Potter.

            The Hebrew bârâ’,in contrast to ‛âśâh(aw-saw’), speaks of creation out of non-existing material. It is either that the LORD used non-existing materials to create Lucifer or HE chose to make him first before any other intelligent being. His position and estate, as the first created angel, brought him fame probably to the point of being apotheosized by the angelic ones.  Leading himself into an apostate abomination, he thought the apotheosis he enjoyed was a culmination into deification. God set him in the quintessential way he found his glorious self in the day of his moulding. Lucifer, therefore, looked for a day to perfect the treasonous felony. It led to the infamy of Isaiah 14:13-14 “For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” These pronouncements were vociferations of maniacal proclivities that were carried out by demency of Satanism, for a procacious transmission to the sacred presence of the celestial throne room of the Majesty.

The fall of Lucifer

            Jehovah is eternal. When Lucifer’s errancy goaded him to the execution of the first putsch, it was before the Eternal Judge, the LORD God, that he committed the felonious cruelty. Christ and the Holy Spirit were not the only eternal Witnesses to the satanic antipathy, myriads of the two-thirds counterinsurgent angels, led by Michael are witnesses to Lucifer’s criminality in the court of celestial jurisprudence. In fact Lucifer himself will stand to depose his nefariousness. An eternal judgment is due, ergo, to a sinfulness before the Eternal Jehovah. Lucifer, I believe, knew what he was into. He tried to play a psychological game with God.

                Blasphemy.

“…till iniquity was found in thee…” (Ezekiel 28:15)

                The word of Scripture’s couching intimacy of, “…till iniquity was found in thee…” (Ezekiel 28:15)is a proof that the Holy Spirit did remind him of his ministerial loyalty to the Divinity. Lucifer was hell bent in allowing his ungodly reverie to take the worst of his thoughts. Lucifer’s rejection of the counsel of the Holy Spirit brought him into the guilt of Matthew 12:31, “Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.” It was the malison of the Eternal One that judged Satan, and for that simple fact, his sentence carried an eternal consequence, with no option of grace. Lucifer was doomed forever. Amen.

…shall bruise thy head….shalt bruise his heel

            Satan knew that he was doomed forever. The taboo he stepped into was more than what he envisaged. He would not even essay to ask for forgiveness, even if it was just for the record. He was too engrossed in the delirium of his procacious mentality. Lucifer must, he believed, brandish his cognitive dementia. To other beings he unleashed the dangerous insanity that had warped him to a stupor.

                Be wise. Get Jesus involved in your life. Get born again. In all sincerity, say this prayer of salvation:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”

ISAIAH CHAPTER NINE VERSE SIX (three)

(Continued from part two…)

(3)          No created being boasts of the capacity or any capability to containerise all the treasures of God’s wisdom and knowledge in him (Colossians 2:3). Impossible! The Bible tells us how Christ is able to bring into possibility that which is inconceivably tenable. The scripting of Proverbs 8:22, “The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old:” is a poetical stunt that has been garnished with a heavy dose of metaphors. I have continued, in my reiterative theological stand, to say that if He had to create any attribute of His divinity before creationism then God’s essential deficiency calls His Almighty essence to question. Wisdom, which has been treated with pure aesthetic grandiose of rhapsodic nuances, is, in fact, a Personage. “Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him” [Proverbs 8:30].

 The most Enigmatic Personage: JESUS.

                The words ‘one brought up’ is ‘âmôn (aw-mone’): ‘in the sense of training; skilled, that is, an architect.’ Who was training who, how and for how long? Verse 22 made the likes of, the 4th century, Arius to believe that Christ was a created being by its poetical construction. Being brought up with the Eternal Father gives a dramatic picture of two growing up brothers poetically. This is the perfection of intimacy of Divinity! Amen. How could a contemplation of the growing up of the Eternal Father and the Almighty Son ever be made to run through any mind? It can only be sponsored by an incursion of Satanism.

 Three PERSONS in one GOD

            El gibbôr is the Hebrew for ‘mighty God,’ (Isaiah 9:6) where ‘God,’‘êl (ale) is: ‘strength; as adjective mighty; especially the Almighty (but used also of any deity).’ Gibbowr (ghib-bore’) (or (shortened) gibbor {ghib-bore’}) ‘1. Powerful 2. (by implication) a warrior, tyrant.’ Theologically, this El gibbôr is none other than the Architect of creationism. Not even the great kahuna, Lucifer himself, has the adjectival epithet of ‘mighty’ accorded to his deified sobriquet in Scripture. None but Jehovah has ‘mighty’ describing His Deity. Some of the translations of El gibbôr are: ‘The prevailing or conquering God,’ ‘God the mighty One’ and ‘God the mighty man.’ Isaiah 45:24 reads, “Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.” The ‘LORD’ in capitals is Yahweh or Jehovah.

                Who is this in Jeremiah 23:6, “In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” This is Jesus Christ, the ‘mighty God’ of Isaiah 9:6! Of the same One we hear the Father swore in categoric terms: “Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre” [Psalm 45:6]. Confer these scriptures: Isa 45:24; Isa 45:25; Psa 45:3; Psa 50:1; Jer 23:5; Joh 1:1; Joh 1:2; Act 20:28 & Rom 9:5.

 HE IS FAITHFUL!

                ‘Everlasting,’ in Isaiah 9:6, is ad (ad) meaning: ‘perpetuity, for ever, continuing future.’ ‘Father,’ ‘âb (awb) means: ‘father of an individual; of God as Father of his people.’  As Abi ad, the Hebrew epithet for ‘everlasting Father,’ the Christ is ‘the Father of eternity’ or ‘The Father of the everlasting age.’ How does this revelation not mark Him as “Wonderful,” when He who is “a child,” is yet the “everlasting Father?” John 10:30 quotes Him in the revelation of “I and my Father are one.” John 14:9, “Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?” As far as creationism is concerned, the joint participation of the Trinity makes each One the Father.

            Jesus, as the Prince of peace, is the potentate ruler of absolute peace. Only God can sit as the Governor of perfect peace. The Isaiah 9:6 title of ‘Prince,’ śar (sar) is: ‘a head person (of any rank or class).’ ‘Peace’ is shâlôm (shaw-lome’): ‘safe, that is, (figuratively) well, happy, friendly; also (abstractly) welfare, that is, health, prosperity, peace.’ A halcyon millennium rule of true tranquillity over the entire globe falls within His capability as the overall God, blessed forever. Amen. His Lordship is over the elements, circumstances, men and even the brutish animals.

                Isaiah 11:6-10 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. 7) And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8) And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. 9) They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. 10) And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.” Amen. (Of the Prince of peace are: Joh 14:27; Act 10:36; Rom 5:1-10; 2Co 5:19; Eph 2:14-18; Col 1:20; Col 1:21 & Heb 13:20).

                Where else, if not in the Prince of peace, can we say with all assurance that: “Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other” [Psalm 85:10]. In Jesus, Shiloh, the Tranquilizer, we have peace. Peace that passes all understanding. Amen!

  Yes! It is! Amen!  

                Get born again. Say this prayer, meaning it:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”

ISAIAH CHAPTER NINE VERSE SIX (two)

 LEGALITY OF REGALITY: INSIGNIA BORNE ON HIS MAJESTIC SHOULDER

(Continued from part one…)

(2)            The word ‘government’ (of Isaiah 9:6) is miśrâh (mis-raw’) meaning: ‘rule, dominion, government, empire.’ The legality of His regality is the insignia borne on His majestic shoulder. For the caught in the web of forgetfulness, this very One is the Governor of the nations attested to in the twenty-eighth verse of the twenty second Psalm (confer Psalm 47:7-8; Daniel 7:14; Obadiah 1:21; Zechariah 14:9 & Revelation 11:15). He will rule with an iron rod. When the LORD rules, He is a Dictator, albeit, not tyranically. Eliakim or ‘elyâqı̂ym (el-yaw-keem’) which means ‘God raises, God of raising or God sets up,’ stands in the representative capacity of Christ in Isaiah 22:21-22, v.21) “And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. 22) And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.”

                In the Book of Jeremiah 23:5, it says, ‘Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.”  Pauline 1Corinthians 15:25 has, “For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.” Of the governmental extent of Jesus is Ephesians 1:21 “Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:” My concluding verse of His government is Revelation 19:16, “And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND.” The reign of Jesus, as scripturally seen, can only be of the Deity. Psalm 2:6-12; Psa 110:1-4; Jeremiah 23:5-6; Zechariah 6:12; Zec 6:13 & Zec 9:9-10 are for further reading.

            The epithets of this Gift to humanity are absolutely of the Divinity. The first of the given Son’s name is ‘Wonderful’ and it is pele’ (peh’-leh) in the Hebrew, meaning: ‘miracle, marvel, wonder (extraordinary, hard to understand thing), wonder (of God’s acts of judgment and redemption).’ While other works of wonderment are of magical orientation, Jehovah alone performs miracles. Does history know of anyone who performed or performs more miracles than Jesus? He, it was, who went about doing good things, I mean, good things beyond human endowed capabilities.

                The first inconceivable awed attention to tax man’s sight of Him was the Incarnation: 1Timothy 3:16, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” Hallelujah! Prophetic are Isaiah 7:14 and Luke 1:35. The prophetic parturition of Samson did reveal the awesome proclivity of this Enigmatic Visitant in Judges 13:18 “And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?” In the LORD’s assuaging bid to put an end to Manoah’s curiosity, whose name in Hebrew is mânôach (maw-no’-akh) and means: “rest,” His answer to Manoah’s curiosity is hoo pailee, meaning “it is wonderful!” This is the same Person of whom the Bible says, “And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people” [Matthew 9:35]. In Acts 10:38 it has it thus, “……who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Amen.

            Yâ‛ats (yaw-ats’) is the Hebrew for ‘Counsellor’: ‘to advise, consult, give counsel, purpose, devise, plan.’ I do not know of any angel who can make this promise to anyone as we have in Luke 21:15, “For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist,” especially when the troth is of a distant period and in diverse locations of the world. A much older saint did spin the rhetoric Job 21:22, “Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.” The verb ‘teach,’ lâmad (law-mad’): ‘properly to goad, that is, (by implication) to teach (the rod being an Oriental incentive).’ God ‘judgeth,’ shâphaṭ (shaw-fat’): ‘to judge, that is, pronounce sentence (for or against); by implication to vindicate or punish; by extension to govern; passively to litigate (literally or figuratively).’ If God is the only wise One, how can Jesus be the Yâ‛ats? Is it not because of the scriptural facticity that makes Him the grand subject found in Colossians 2:3, “In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge?” Selah!

The KING Of Kings: Jesus

                Get born again. Say this prayer, meaning it:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
