Christianity Is Acquittal And Discharge From Sinful Gaol. [5]

                     Portrait of a Christian: acquitted, discharged and very beautiful!

(…continue from part four…)

5)            The Christian’s case is likened to a speaker of a seminar –needed for just three weeks— whose return ticket, airport taxi shuttle from home, lodging for fifty-two weeks, every meal and snacks and taxi services back home have all been settled, and above all, a million dollars’ weekly stipend credited to his bank account. Now tell me how much he is expected to pay from his pocket towards his participation in the seminar? Jesus Christ has truly taken absolute care of all our spiritual debts. Amen.

                1John 1:6-9 “If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” God knows that the propensity of our carnality will be forced into ignition almost all the time. To His possessed people, acquitted and discharged, God continues to prove His faithfulness in the forgiveness of committed sins. This Scripture is actually meant only for Christians.

                God’s long-suffering nature is the most comforting care that continues to keep us from being flung into annihilation. None can ever give what he has not. The proof of God’s long-suffering nature was a manifestation when He came down in His empyrean Majesty. The same hand of His eternal care was the utility of His protective care, of which employment He shielded Moses from gazing at His adjudicating face of eternality lest Moses be cut off from the living. Exodus 34:6-7 “And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7) Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.” ‘Merciful’ comes from the Hebraic lrachûm (rakh-oom’) meaning: ‘Compassionate or sympathetic.’

                The Hebrew word for ‘gracious,’ channûn (khan-noon’), comes from its root, chânan (khaw-nan’): ‘portraying God as bending or stooping in kindness to an inferior; to favor, bestow; causatively to implore (that is, move to favor by petition).’ ‘Long-suffering’ comes from ‘ârêk and ‘aph. The first one, ‘ârêk (aw-rake’) means: ‘long (pinions), patient, slow to anger.’ The next, ‘aph (af), is: ‘the nose or nostril; hence the face, and occasionally a person; also (from the rapid breathing in passion) ire:’ put together, you have: ‘not easily moved to anger by what comes to one’s face’. God’s attribute of ‘goodness’ chêsêd (kheh’-sed), means: ‘kindness, faithfulness.’ Then we have ‘truth’ which is ’emeth (eh’-meth): (noun feminine) ‘firmness, faithfulness, sureness, reliability; stability, continuance; certainty, trustworthiness.’

                A good Bible student will move, with ease that accompanies the Holy Spirit’s divine didactics, scripturally, way back to Genesis. The Eden garbing of Adam the male and the female made it a possibility for the same LORD God, who provided them with the garb of forgiveness, to step again into time, Who is eternal, to display His full beneficence, in His full glory. The LORD God appeared to Moses as both the impeccable Judge and the eternal Saviour. God must both be the ultimate Judge and the undying Saviour to perfect the soteriology. At Eden, the sin contaminated Adam and he ran into hiding, feeling badly garbed in iniquitous disposition to come face to face with the Most High who had walked in Majesty into Eden, His home. At the Mount Sinai experience, Moses, who, hitherto, had spoken so familiarly with His God, could not lift up even his hoary head to apprehend the physical presence of Divinity. It was too much for the carnality of the terra firma. How come this reality? Moses came into contact with the scriptural “Which is, and which was, and which is to come.”

                How can mortality behold simultaneously the Eternality of the past, the stepping into mortality of time by Timelessness, and the very same Who happens to be older than eternity to come? That was not, in any conceivability, an angel; that was not an apparition. Walking before Moses, in His physical glory, was the empyrean Majesty: the LORD God of creationism. He had to appear personally to announce the soon to be perfected terms of the soteriological rites. What He killed to provide forgiveness in Eden, He would assume to prove His graciousness to mankind whom He had created not only in His likeness, but in the Divinity of His image. Abundant forth-pouring of mercy of eternal dimension, aimed at the Adamic forgiveness can only be perfected when, as the great Shepherd, He should stoop low, in the similitude of a servant, in kindness to the inferior object of creationism. Amen.

                Spiritual acquittal and discharge takes place only when one is born again. To be born again, say, with all your heart, this simple prayer:

“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!”

IS THE MARIAN BIRTH THE FIRST EXISTENCE OF JESUS CHRIST? (Part seven)

The humanity of Second Member of the Godhead

(…continues from part 6…)

7)            In conclusion, Christ has always been. Lord Jesus has been from the eternal past, when nothing had the being of the creationism. His existence prior to the creationism, underscores the eternality of His Divinity. The biblical couch of Mosaic Pentateuch, as was dictated from the lips of the Most High, has a commencement of, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” The Hebraic scripting is notיהוה which has the transliteration of Yehôvâh or the English Jehovah. It is not ‘ĕlôahh a transliteration of אלוהּ, which means: God or god (in the singular). The term ‘God’ in Genesis 1:1 is אלהים with a transliteration of: ‘ĕlôhı̂ym (el-o-heem’). This ‘ĕlôhı̂ym is ‘God,’ in the plural. The reason why it is in the plural is simply because in the Godhood of the Divinity are three distinct Personages: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. If Jesus Christ is the Second Member of the Godhead, then, what does one say of Christians?  They are, indeed, highly favoured!Genesis 1:1

The verb, ‘made,’ found in John 1:14, being weak and or a wrong interpretation, tends to imply that the Word of God is an object of creationism. Going by the Greek for that word which is ginomai (ǰiy’-no-mai): ‘1. to cause to be (“gen”-erate). 2. (reflexively) to become (come into being),’ the Word of God, the Christ merely ‘came into being’ or just ‘became’ flesh i.e. mankind, which He, hitherto, was not! Simple! The word of Jesus is God’s word; and the word of God is the word of Jesus Christ. It is a conundrum! If it is not Christ, God does not utter it. The Word of God exists before eternality; was spoken to engender creationism. The WORD is of the Trinity. Why would the first mention of “God” in Scripture be ‘Elohiym –plurality of God—? Christ is eternally involved. Amen!

In Genesis 18:27-32, every mention of ‘Lord’ (with only ‘L’ as the capital) is the Hebrew  אֲדֹנָי which is the transliteration of ‘Adonay (ad-o-noy’). The Jewish tongue does not suffer ‘Adonay to be designated to any creature; it is absolutely of Jehovah, the Almighty Jehovah God. The Genesis chapter 18 scenario proves that Christ, in His preincarnate manifestation, showed up in His physical essence and did not only hold a discussion with Abraham and his wife, but was visibly seen by them. This show of physical responsibility by the Divinity underscores the keen interest that the Owner of the world has for the Adamic race. This tells me that the Divinity of Jesus is real; He answers prayers. Humans can rely on Him for divine beneficence.

Exodus 33:22-23 “And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: 23) And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.” From the verses above, ‘hand’ is kaph (kaf): ‘1. the hollow hand or palm (so of the paw of an animal, of the sole, and even of the bowl of a dish or sling, the handle of a bolt, the leaves of a palm-tree). 2. (figuratively) power.’ The ‘hollowness’ of the hand presents to my perception the concavity of the divine caring hand of the Almighty and its eternally commodiousness for the protection all entities of creation over and over and again. The anthropomorphic dimension of God must ineluctably have five sprouts of gripping fingers and a thumb on His palm. Of course, it is the grace of God that took divine care of Moses, lest he inadvertently be led by stupid carnality to behold the face of eternality and be destroyed. Five is the scriptural number of grace. Hallelujah!

Jesus, the Word of God, during the Jerusalem Temple journey at age twelve.

                Indeed, God’s protective hand which Moses, indubitably did see, is the physicality of the anthropomorphic hand of the Eternal LORD of creation, not in a dream, but in broad daylight! An absolute oomph! Incredulous! It certainly reminds me of the Scripture which says “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,” of Titus 2:11, was an unfadable event so bodacious to ever evaporate from the mind of Moses. Stupendous phenomenality was this Mount Sinai spectacle! Every Christian inevitably has access to this eternal hand of God’s protective deliverance. Amen.

                Why would the Lord choose the Jericho approach to appear in Person to Joshua? Jericho happened to be a great hurdle for Israel. The manna from heaven was about stop falling for their sustenance. It must have an involvement of divine operative to pulverize the impregnable walls of Jericho. When the Lord eventually makes His incarnational entry into our world He would bear the name of Joshua. His preincarnational manifestation should of necessity come face to face with His eventual name sake. Does He not make the divine asseveration of “without me ye canst do nothing” of John 15:5? Is Jehovah not called “a man of war” [Exodus 15:3]? A wise person will call on Jesus to fix the removal of all obstacles. Does the Bible not say of Him “And he is before all things, and by him all things consist” [Colossians 1:17]. The Greek for ‘consist’ is sunistao (sïn-iy-staō’) meaning, ‘to set together.’ Through Jesus all things are held together –an absolute preserve of the Almighty, most definitely.

Was wounded for my transgression; His death rolled away my death. Hallelujah!

                It reads in the Book of Judges 13:2, “And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.” The empyreal Visitant came for some notable causes. The name Zorah or the Hebraic Tsor`ah (tsor-aw’), ‘a place in Israel’ has its etymology in tsir`ah (tsir-aw’): ‘a wasp (as stinging).’ Danites being descendants of Dan, means ‘judge.’ Manoah means ‘complete rest.’ Put all of this together and you have come to the understanding that God came personally to judge the atrocities being meted on Israel, His sworn child of adoption. Christians are a holy nation like the Nazarite culmination of the birth of Samson. Nazarite means ‘holy, separate;’ and Samson is ‘sunlight.’ The Angel of the LORD, the preincarnational manifestation of the Christ, the Light of the world, called Himself ‘secret’ meaning ‘wonderful’, that immediately reminds one of Isaiah 9:6. Jesus will do everything to keep us safe. Bank on this; you will never lose! Never! Amen!

       Get born again. Say this simple prayer, believing it with all your heart. Say:

“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!”

5)            Why worship the manifestation of the Divinity? They were told in the wilderness, “Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21) Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him” [Exodus 23:20-21]. Before then, in Exodus 14:19 “And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:” is understood by them that the LORD and His manifestation are the Elohiym. The Spirit of God, no doubt, made them to use this particularity of ‘ı̂ysh in reference to their Visitant.

Manoah and his wife, prior to Samson.

                It dawned on them why they continue to choose ‘ı̂ysh among other forms of ‘man’: the One on visitation was He, who told Abraham, “Your children will be my children and I will be their God.” As their God, Jehovah is their Husband, by an oath of covenant. He called His name ‘secret’ simply because none but the Most High must perform wondrous miracles. He is pâlîy all because He is past finding out. They wanted to make Him honourable, who is the Lord of lords and the King of kings. Note that this angel of the LORD did not object to being offered a gift. The gift to prophets and priests are money and victuals to take care of body and soul. When it comes to the LORD God of Israel, it is a sacrifice (which the angel of the LORD accepted).

The LORD visited Manoah and his wife before the birth of Samson.

                This Visitant is the only One to receive sacrificial elements and when it was offered He rode on it to heaven, accepting the oblation. No scriptural angel accepts the object of immolation. So, you ask, “Why worship the manifestation of the Divinity?” The answer is found in no other place than the Bible. “And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle. 9) And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses. 10) And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door” [Exodus 33:8-10]. This is what they know and must do. Amen! The Eternal Father will hide Himself from Adamic gaze. That is very necessary, in order not to destroy, for sighting the slightest sin. Jesus Christ is the only One among the Trinity who must receive Adamic gaze, so that He will stand as the Saviour that He truly is. They worshipped the pre-incarnate manifestation of Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord.

I beseech thee, shew me thy glory

                What the ocular expression of Moses fell on was the most awe-inspiring phenomenality that has ever received an occurrence anywhere, anytime in the universe. “And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. 21) And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 22) And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: 23) And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen” [Exodus 33:20-23]. This is what prompted the divine granting of this request by Moses, found in Exodus 33:18, “And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.” Jehovah is a God of legality. He is the ultimate Judge. His judgment, posing a nature of eternality, those who will approach God the Father must be given an opportunity to seek spiritual regeneration. The first Adamic object of perception was his Creator, Christ, the LORD God, without whom there was not anything made that was brought into creation (John 1:3).

Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live

                They neither saw the Holy Spirit nor the First Member of the Godhead, the Father. But the object of the Mount Sinai ocular encounter of documentation was the very nature of the Divinity seated eternally on the empyreal throne! Christ Jesus is indeed one with the Father (John 10:30). To see the eternally probing visage of Christ in its true nature would have seen to the termination of the ministry of Moses. The first thing that the approaching LORD God did was to choose the place of engagement. Secondly, He used His tender holy hand to cover the sins of Moses and at the same time hide His judging face. His eternal visage is too much for human beholding; the anomalous tiniest bit of sin cannot survive the beholding of this eternality of purest sinlessness! It will most definitely stand in antagonism, unbeknown to the beholding anomaly. This Sinai phenomenon underscores the grace of the Divinity of Christ in His preincarnate manifestation. The divine palm of protection against the legality that would have destroyed Moses has four fingers plus a thumb: five –the number of grace. Moses did nothing to receive that protective grace. It was purely an act of divine sovereignty. Are we not saved by grace? Selah! 

Get born again. Say this simple prayer, believing it with all your heart. Say:

“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!”

IS THE MARIAN BIRTH THE FIRST EXISTENCE OF JESUS CHRIST? (Part three)

(…continued from part 2…)

3)            Every ‘Lord’ of verses 27 to 32 of Genesis chapter 18 is the Hebraic ‘Ᾰdônây (ad-o-noy’): ‘Lord – title, spoken in place of Yahweh in Jewish display of reverence.’ No other entity, save Jehovah God, is addressed as the Jewish ‘Ᾰdônây. Abraham, indeed, had a real person to person discourse with ‘Ᾰdônây Jesus, in His pre-incarnate manifestation. And was he glad? Selah!

Joshua and the Israeli army

                As close to Moses as Joshua was, he only heard of the physical appearance of the Divinity. Not until Israel was about to take over the land of Jericho he did not experience a physical encounter with the Creator (Joshua 5:13-15). The connectivity of His Adamic goings began in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 3:8 “And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.” Let us look at the definition of ‘heard’ which is the Hebraic shama` (shaw-mah’): ‘1. to hear intelligently (often with implication of attention, obedience, etc.). 2. (causatively) to tell, etc.’ The approaching act of ‘walking’ is halak (haw-lak’): ‘advance by steps; lifestyle’. So many Bible teachers believe that God neither walked nor was intelligently heard by Adam and his wife. Shama` by its definitions makes it so clearly understood that God did tell something into their hearing and they, Eden Garden occupants, heard the voice of the Lord God intelligently.

The image of Genesis 3:8

                The profound meaning of halak, that is, ‘lifestyle’ spells out the facticity of God being a habitual Visitant to the Eden Garden every cool of the day [Genesis 3:8]. God the Father, as theological pellucidity teaches, never vacates His celestial throne. Who, therefore, is this LORD God, whose goings forth did halak Eden’s grounds? It is the documented Personage of John 3:13 “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.” Jesus made an unbelievable asseveration of Himself, as He visibly remained seated beside a befuddled Nicodemus, and at the same material time existing in the empyreal assizes of the Rainbow Administration of Jehovah. I can hear an understanding soul, screaming, “Incredible! But true!”

“Peradventure ten shall be found there.” [Genesis 18:30-32]

                Of Abraham the Lord Jesus revealed “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad” [John 8:56]. This happened in Genesis 18:13 “And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?” From the scriptural narrative, the scenario of this verse was not a vision of somnambulism. A slaughtered calf dressed and served was the sumptuous meal before the physical Visitants. It was in the course of whatever course of the meal that the LORD Jesus, in His pre-incarnate manifestation, brought forth the Divine query of Genesis 18:17-21, “And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18) Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19) For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. 20) And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; 21) I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.”

Sodom and Gomorrah evil experience

                This was certainly not a case study of the fantasy of a somnambulist: for the eventual outcome of this Abrahamic souls haggling ended in the annihilation of Sodom and Gomorrah. Genesis 19:24, 25 & 28 “Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; 25) And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.”  In the twenty-eighth verse, the Bible says of Abraham: 28) And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.”

                Most definitely, Abraham was not experiencing this visitation from the state of the vision of a night’s slumber. “And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:” [Genesis 18:27]. Will Abraham ever forget this day? Of course, not! It was too good to be true. He was served with an empyreal titillation. “And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. 31) And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake. 32) And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake” [Genesis 18:30-32].

DELAY IS NOT DENIAL (four)

(…continued from part three…)

4)            Daniel 3:12-30, “There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. 13) Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king. 14) Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? 15) Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? 16) Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us

                17) If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. 18) But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. 19) Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. 20) And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 21) Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

                                Jehovah showed up; not wanting to deny them His protection

                22) Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. 23) And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 24) Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. 25) He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. 26) Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. 27) And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. 28) Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. 29) Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. 30) Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.”

                The king had changed their Jewish names, which reflected the holy name of Jehovah. Hananiah was changed to Shadrach, which means ‘the servant of Aku (moon god); Mishael was given the foreign name of Meshach which has a probability of being a name in honour of the sun god. Azariah was named Abednego (servant of Nego, Nebo or Ishtar i.e. “the morning star” and “the perfect light” to Babylonian idolatry). They refused to hoist the infamous flag of their idolatrous tags. They stuck with Jehovah. Did the Lord God try to help them by making Nebuchadnezzar change his mind? Faith was put on trial. God Himself showed up among His children of faith. He might have delayed in helping the Hebrew teenagers, but He, the Lord God, did not fail to descend down to our earth for the deliverance of those who called on His Mighty name.

TRUE PICTURE OF THE WORLD (5)

(…continued from part four…)

5)            Pellucidity agrees with the facticity that Satanism is a negation of the terms of Divine afflatus. Hellish convenience readily applies negativism to the deficient soul to produce an insalubrious ratiocinatio. It is on account of this fact that satanic conclusion makes the present-day person say of himself, “I’m the baddest!” When you hear, “The party is crazy;” it means the gregarious function is a “groovy superbity.” While discussing this social aberration with a gentleman, he said, “I heard a very good music played at a party and said to their hearing, ‘This song is sick!'” Immediately I told him, “Anyone that is sick needs a doctor. He is malfunctioning!” Little by little, and day by day the vocabulary, even the vocabulary meaning is doing injustice to globally accepted dictionary definitions.

                What is ‘wickedness’? Merriam-Webster defines it as: ‘1. Morally objectionable behavior 2. Absence of moral or spiritual values 3. The quality of being wicked 4. Estrangement from god 5. The quality of being disgusting to the senses or emotions.’ So, how come the same dictionary has one of the definitions of ‘wicked’ as: ‘(informal) brilliant; very good.’ How can the ingenuity of an invention be given the commendation of: “Wicked?!” It is simply the injection of   Satanism that mirrors the true picture of the world, where the crazier a thing is, the better acceptable it is.  

Is sagging a decency?

                The youth and the older generations love to sag the garment extending from the waist to the knee or ankle, covering each leg separately. The womenfolk are never comfortable stepping out in a dress that covers the cleavage. Why should a very sensitive organ of the mammary gland be a thing of witless flaunt? The beauty of the breast is meant for the hubby’s view. Showing it to others is an enticement into prostitution.

                The woman’s body is a building. Genesis 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:…” where the word ‘make’ is `asah (aw-saw’) ‘to do or make, in the broadest sense and widest application (using an existing material).’ Genesis 2:19 “And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air;….” The creationism word ‘form’ is yatsar (yaw-tsar’) ‘1. to mould into a form 2. especially as a potter 3. (figuratively) to determine (i.e. form a resolution); a potter’s activity. “And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.” [Gen 2:22]. The creative word, ‘made,’ here is banah (baw-naw’) ‘to build (literally and figuratively) –an architectural expression.’ The woman is the Church.

Where is the honour of feminine decency?

                The Devil hates the woman so much that he wants to render her so unproductive and inoperative. Lucifer’s desideratum is just to derail the woman from the divine destiny to glorify the Adam through the woman. Look at the original woman of the Eden. She was the glory of creationism. The lost woman is constantly enraptured in the way she looks. Her face MUST be fashioned to her frivolous taste. Her breast MUST be enlarged. Her buttocks MUST be extended. And what does she do every time? She is slavishly made to capture the rotundity of the well carved backside with her phone, forcing her to look backwards. Backwards? Yes, of course, backwards like the unfortunate decision of, can you remember? Lot’s wife. This is the cruel plot of Lucifer. The woman, by extension, the Church, is failing in so many ways. Doing the Devil’s intent is tantamount to satanic worship. True Satanism is absolutely a connived conjugal relationship with Lucifer!   

What’s this? Crazier or not?

                The crazier things are, the better they are suiting to them these days. Horrendous! This present one, is a world of sex. Rape has become the order of the day. The demons of concupiscence are mad at work. Prostitution puts huge amount of money in the bank accounts of the operators of sex business. Where are the virgins of these days? Many were unfortunate to lose their hymenal seal of virtue before the age of five, all because one crazy, pachydermatous idiot must push himself somewhere inside someone’s vagina.

                The world has found solace in the ‘self.’ God cannot be relied on anymore. The phenomenal ratiocinatio that pours from their lips is, “We are in the modernity of IT [information technology] of the twenty-first century!” In conclusion to this thought, “God is dead! Forget about Him!” Genesis 3:6, “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” Did God not give them the precept of, “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” [Gen 2:17]. All the Devil needed do is just to tamper with their perception. Has he (Lucifer) stopped meddling with thoughts against God’s precepts? He has not. Satan has actually intensified his nefarious proclivity.

JESUS: The WORD Of God (What does it betoken?) Part 2

The most enigmatic Man to tread the surface of terra firma

(Continued from the 1^st part)

2)            The One who was set up –from when? Proverbs 8:23 has the answer, “I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.” The same is in John 1:2 “The same was in the beginning with God.“  The Word of God, Jesus, is as eternal as the Father. Amen! The scriptural ‘beginning’ is, in actuality, before creationism. Jesus was in the beginning. Only God can be said to be in existence before creationism. Amen! “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3). This is one of my favourite scriptures; the Elizabethan flowery is so aesthetic, and the gospel truismatic reality is of Jesus, the grand Author of creationism.                                                  

Before Abraham was, I Am

                Did He create all things? Does that not serve pellucidity of the facticity of Christ, the Word of God, not being a creation? If He created all things then the absolute truth is that nothing created Him. No wonder He dropped the bombshell of John 8:58 “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” Most certainly to the English grammar student, ‘was’ is a grammatical inflection of ‘am’ but it is not so from the Greek couched grammar. ‘Was,’ in the Greek, is ginomai (ghin’-om-ai), meaning: ‘1. to cause to be (“gen”-erate) 2. (reflexively) to become (come into being).’ This ginomai  is a pointer to the natural parturiency of Abraham’s coming into being. The personal pronoun ‘I’ is ego (eg-o’) ‘(emphatically, of the first person) I.’ ‘Am,’ eimi (ei-mee’), means ‘I exist {used only when emphatic}.’ Put ego and eimi together, what you have, staring unbelievably at you is the covenant name, I AM THAT I AM, which the Almighty God gave to Moses at the ‘burning bush’ encounter. Jesus is the I AM, which the Jews could not believe, seeing that He was not yet 50 years of earthly age!                                                                                           

                “In him was life; and the life was the light of men” [John 1:4]. The preposition ‘in’ en (en) means: ‘a primary preposition denoting (fixed) position (in place, time or state), and (by implication) instrumentality (medially or constructively), i.e. a relation of rest.’ The inconsequentially looking ‘was’ is ēn (ane): ‘Imperfect of eime -I exist-; I (thou, etc.) was (wast or were).’ The grammatical imperfectness of this verb makes it an action of eternal continuity. ‘Life’ is the God’s kind, zoe. In Jesus is an original and essential life, independently of none. As the eternal Father has His own life and the Holy Spirit too, each of His own, so does Christ. Jesus’ life, as the definition of ‘was’ explains, is absolutely eternal! The life which Jesus breathed into created entities illumed them. This light does not just endow with a visive authority. It creates a rational knowledge by which an intelligence is displayed by the individual. This True Light gave Adam the knowledge of what to name creatures such that every name he gave needed not be reviewed by the Creator. Every intelligent being thirsts for salvation. Many, unfortunately, reject the leading of this spiritual Light –into eternal damnation. The sole source of life celestial and mundane life flow from the Word of life, Word of God, even Jesus Christ. Only God can give life thus. Amen!                                                                                                                 

Jesus, the Light of the world.

                “That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world” (John 1:9). The original couch is “every man coming into the world.” The verb ‘cometh‘ is an imperfect tense. John 12:46 quotes Jesus Christ saying, “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.” The word ‘darkness’, skotia (skot-ee’-ah) speaks of ‘spiritual obscurity, metaphorically used of ignorance of divine things, and its associated wickedness, and the resultant misery in hell.’ So, we have in verse 12, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” His name is so precious that it is the only key to salvation.

                Hear Him in John 14:1, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” Nowhere in Scripture is any creature’s name is given the authority to be “believed on” save Jesus Christ the eternal Saviour. “Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God“ [John 1:13]. The will of the Son is essentially of the eternal Father’s. The reason for this facticity is not farfetched: for He made the asseverative “I and my Father are one” [John 10:30]. Selah!

JESUS: The WORD Of God (What does it betoken?) Part 1

The LOGOS, Yehoshua Mashiyach, Which is, was, and is to come, the Almighty.

1)            There is only One Entity, only One Personage that goes by the sobriquet ‘Word of God.’ A word is a limning of the utterer of it. You are bound by the word of your utterance because you have verbalised it. It becomes your property, identity and true self. It takes the articulation of verbalism, often meticulosity allied, to effectuate a creation. Mark the trajectory projection of a prayer, praise, worship or a curse. Very effective. The Scripture of theological ventilation of, “And God said…” was commanded ten times to the establishment of creationism. Indeed, your word says everything that has to do with you! It is for this reason that Logos, the Greek for ‘word,’ is defined as ‘the totality of God’s mind, will and word.’ Amen.

The WORD gives life -John 1:4

                John 6:63 quotes Jesus saying, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” The abstract ‘life’ is the Greek zoe, which is God’s eternal kind of life. The datelessness of His verbalism makes the Utterer eternal. To underscore the Johannine script is Matthews’s recollection of “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” [Matthew 24:35]. The reason why it cannot pass away is because “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times” [Psalm 12:6]. The perfection of His eternal Word is found in Psalm 138:2 “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” Let us look at the word ‘magnified’ which is the Hebraic gâdal (gaw-dal’): ‘to grow, become great or important, promote, make powerful, praise, magnify, do great things.’ God’s word, being His personality, He must be faithful to honour every word of promise that proceeds from His holy mouth.

“Abraham saw my day and he was glad” (John 8:56) in Genesis chapter 18

                Paul wrote in the Book of Hebrews 6:13, “For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,” simply because there is none greater than He is. His promises will stand the test of eternity. The grand apokalupsis (revelation) of the Word was brought into Adamic illumination in His Divine revelation of John 1:1“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Arian infested theological stance of Charles Taze Russell would lead him so much astray as to adopt an inimical vitiating Bible version of the ‘New World Translation’ which renders the last words as “and the word was a god,” a small letter ‘g’ for Jesus’ Godhood.

                The JW of Charles Taze Russell following multitude have been cozened out of an eternal truth of the Personage of Jesus. Unbeknown to the members of the JW (I think it’s best to call them ‘JW’ for they don’t know Jehovah), their founder never bothered to make use of the Hebrew or Greek interpretation of Scripture. There is what the Greek idiom calls the anarthous use of the noun i.e. the use of the noun without the definite article. In Greek when the speaker wanted to point out or designate a person or an object, he used the article; but when he wanted to bring out the inherent quality or the nature of the same, he left it out. A literal translation of John 1:1, taking the anarthous use of the noun into consideration, would therefore be, “and the Word was of the very nature and quality of God.”

“I am the light of the world” John 8:12

                A similar grammatical play is that of Hebrews 1:2, where KJV correctly translated “his Son,” though the Greek says merely “Son.” The preposition ‘with’ in John 1:1 is pros (pros): ‘a preposition of direction; forward to, that is, toward (with the genitive case the side of, that is, pertaining to; with the dative case by the side of, that is, near to; usually with the accusative case the place, time, occasion, or respect, which is the destination of the relation, that is, whither or for which it is predicated).’ Christ was directly face to face with God the Father, reminiscent of Proverbs 8:22-30 where the thirtieth reads, ‘Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him.” Did the LORD God ever grow biologically from a lad to adulthood? Selah!

DELAY IS NOT DENIAL (three)

The taunting of Peninnah

(…continued from part two…)

3)            Hannah was called names. Unfruitfulness. She did not give them her ears of faith. Peninnah taunted her, did not she? But Peninnah’s needling derision could not stop that which the Lord God would do. Elkanah did something to douse the matter but he could have stood by her in his refusal to marry a second wife, Peninnah, defined as ‘jewel, pearl, or the face’. There is nothing special, spiritually, about her.

                1Samuel 1:17-20 “Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him. 18) And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad. 19) And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. 20) Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.”

Peninnah’s heckle was not Jehovah’s denial

                Even though the judgment of Eli, the high priest, was garbed in atrocity of its pronouncement, it would not vitiate Hannah’s potential faith in the God of Israel. Her faith had engendered in her the humility of a good Christian, raising her to the enablement which held back her tongue from lashing at the stupidity of God’s servant.

Great Samuel: the proof that delay is not denial

                Thankfully, the emergent alloy of faith and humility from this woman of great fortitude saved Eli from absolute irresponsibility. An ‘ascension’ (for that is the English definition of the Hebraic Eli) to the celestial assizes had to be made available to Hannah’s petition. The same Eli who had wrongfully accused her of an unladylike debauchery must change the lyrics to, “Go in peace.” Pronounced on her is ‘peace’, a Hebraic shâlôm (shaw-lome’) which means so many things: ‘completeness, soundness, welfare, peace;

+completeness (in number)

+safety, soundness (in body)

+welfare, health, prosperity

+peace, quiet, tranquility, contentment; peace, friendship

+of human relationships

+with God especially in covenant relationship

+peace (from war)

                Should there be any genuine reason to wonder why she decided that her countenance was not going to be sad again? Selah! Shâlôm!

Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days.

                Daniel 1:6-19, “Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: 7) Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego. 8) But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. 9) Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs. 10) And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king. 11) Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12) Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.

It took ten days to prove the lads right

                13) Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king’s meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants. 14) So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days. 15) And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king’s meat. 16) Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse. 17) As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. 18) Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 19) And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.”

                The Bible says that they were of Judah. Judah means ‘praise’. Jesus Christ comes from Judah. All genuine praise related eventualities need to evoke the power advertence found in Jesus. Why JESUS? He is the Creator; He is the Author of faith. Daniel in Hebrew is dânı̂yê’l (daw-nee-yale’) ‘God is my judge.’ Hananiah is chănanyâh (khan-an-yaw) ‘Jah has favoured’. Mishael is mı̂yshâ’êl (mee-shaw-ale’) ‘who is what God is’. Azariah is ‛ăzaryâh (az-ar-yaw’) ‘Jehovah has helped’.

                The truth is that God has heard us even before we offer the petitions of our hearts for His divine attention. Faith and caution become the tools of the divine engagement. Faith to keep us on the solidity of the terra firma; caution makes sure that we continue to walk according to divine will.

 “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.

Which Is, And Which Was, And Which Is To Come. (six)

Jesus Christ is the Creator

(…continued from part five…)

6)            Jesus the Almighty, as He is depicted in Scripture, created all things. The very first of creationism was brought into being out of nothing for: the word ‘created’ of Genesis 1:1 is bara’ (baw-raw’) ‘1. (absolutely) to create 2. (qualified) to cut down (a wood), select, feed (as formative processes).’ The absoluteness of bara’ supports ex nihilo, the Greek for ‘create out of nothing.’ Amen! Jesus upholds all creatures in their beings (Colossians 1:17). The Lord Jesus wrought miracles on earth. The word ‘secret’ of Judges 13:18, pil’iy (pil-ee’) (or paliy’ {paw-lee’}) means ‘remarkable. ‘Wonderful’ of Isaiah 9:6 is pele’ (peh’-leh) ‘a miracle.’ Jesus did resurrect Himself from the dead (John 10:17-18). Jesus saved the whole world from eternal destruction (John 11:25, 5:21, 6:39 & 40). 40).

Abraham saw my day and he was glad

                To prove His Almightiness made Him say: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am” (John 8:58). There is a marked difference between ‘was’ and ‘am.’ While ‘was’ is ginomai (ǰiy’-no-mai) ‘1. to cause to be (“gen”-erate).2. (reflexively) to become (come into being).3. (of events) to happen;’ eimi (ei-miy’) is ‘am,’ meaning: ‘1. I am (i.e. I exist).2. (emphatically declaring oneself, following ἐγώ ego (e-ğō’): ‘I’) It is I Myself (see Matthew 14:27, Matthew 14:28 and Mark 6:50).3. (of God himself, following ἐγώ ego (e-ğō’)) I AM (this is the comparable Greek form of God’s Hebrew name, YAHWEH; compare Yhovah (yeh-ho-vaw’) Yhow (yeh-ho’) [as a prefix] 1. (meaning) the self-Existent or Eternal, the I AM. 2. (person) Yahweh (Yehvah), Jewish national name of God. 3. (anglicized) Jehovah. 4. (as a name prefix) Yeho-. 5. (As expressed in Hebraic Koine Greek) ἐγώ εἰμί -ego eime-, I AM (literally: I myself, I am).).’

                For your scriptural information, “which was,” ho en in Greek takes the age of Jesus to the ‘eternity past.’ If no creature existed in the eternity past, it follows that whoever has his existence from that eternal past has an essence of immutability. Living before time, Jesus is immutable: for time cannot affect Him. He is as old as the Eternal Father! In Proverbs chapter 8, verse 22 speaks of wisdom: “The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.” Verse 23 underscores the “wisdom’s” datelessness, “I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.” Verses 24 to 29 which continue to uphold the eternal existence of Wisdom is essentially Jesus in Colossians 2:3 “In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” But what is this next dramatic revelation on wisdom which reads: “Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him” [Prov 8:30]? Is there any theological savviness to the physical ontogenesis of the Father and of the Christ? Is there an Eternal Grandparent that did bring them up? If these are not tenable then the glaring truth here is, basically, that God the Father and the Christ are of equal ancientness.

                How is the datedness of Jesus arrived at scripturally? Each verbal tense of “Which is” ho on “which was” ho en and “which is to come” ho erchomenos is an imperfect tense. What is the grammatical salience of an imperfect tense? Does this tense of ‘imperfectness’ denote or connote an impairment to the status of the subject –Jesus? Not at all, for if it does, then, its inference to the Eternal Father puts a question mark on the Father’s ancientry. An imperfect tense is an action or act that does not come to a conclusion. If I should say, “I spoke at 4pm,” the ‘speaking’, coming to a concluding end (at 4pm), is a perfect tense. “I that spoke,” though is in the aorist (past tense), is an imperfect word of action, not grammatically concluded.

                The Christ’s ‘was,’ en of “which was” took place in the eternal past. His existence did not come to a termination even in the eternity past! HIS imperfect ‘is’ runs through all the days of this present now: and none can claim to live throughout these days of creationism. We are in the six thousandth year of creationism. “Which is” implies His unimpeded perseity throughout time of creation from Adam to the present moment which extends to the prophecy of His scriptural one thousand years of His earthly rule and beyond. Methuselah, the known oldest man did not even clock the eld of 1,000.

                The same One, Christ, lives unto the unending eternity ‘to come.’ “Which was” speaks of eternity to come. The imperfect tense of ‘was’ points to His Lordly eternal Being throughout that unending period. Only the Creator can have these said of Him and to remain verifiably a truism! Jesus, indubitably, is very God of very God! Amen!

Angels worship Jesus Christ

                Jewish Torah scripting understands that ‘the holy blessed God said to Moses, “Say unto them, I am he that was, and I am he that now is, and I am he that is to come,” wherefore אהיה –I Am—is written three times.’ Who is this Jewish God? His earthly name is Yehoshua Mashiyach –(maw-shee’-akh) ‘1. Anointed 2. usually a consecrated person (as a king, priest, or saint) 3. (specifically) the Messiah, the Anointed One– Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen!

                Rid your mind of unscriptural thoughts. Get born again. Say this simple prayer, believing it with all your heart. Say:

“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!”
