Who is Jesus Christ
In the beginning Genesis I:1, God, in the Hebrew picture language is shown a yoked ox for strength (. ( AL) ac: Yoke co: Ox ab: Strength) or the Triune God as being one, from which we get Elohim meaning: God the Father, God the Son and Holy Spirit. Upon further study we get Yeshua or more correctly Jesus. Yeshua is God the Son’s proper name and is found to be the main person speaking or quoted throughout all the Old Testament. His name 'EHYEH' means ‘the ever revealing one, “I am” to be revealed and “I am” who is to be more and more revealed’. It was revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:14 but not repeated but rather masked by LORD, Lord or Adonai. This name is held in highest place and not to be written or spoken by a Jew.
[ Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, (EHYEH asher EHYEH) I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.The I AM may even be fictitious as the true language and manuscript's are to date no where to be found. However the dead sea scrolls have offered clues to the secret so far hidden because of the blinding of the Pileo-Hebrew writings after Israel's first captivity in Egypt and Babylon.
Exodus 6:3 And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of God Almighty (Elohim-ADONAI), but by my name 'EHYEH' was I not known to them.] Most all Bibles have this covered because of the fear to write this name in some fashion, such as Adonai or Lord. Some have Jehovah which is not the true name of God. As the "ah" is actually a reference to a pagan god or possibly a series of gods from per Egyptian time that may go as far back as the tower of Babel.
When John’s gospel account found in the first chapter is paralleled here we get the picture.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning, God (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth.
John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Now then we can turn to Proverbs chapter eight and find:
Pro 8:22-32 "The LORD possessed me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old. Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth, before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world. When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside him, like a master workman, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the children of man. "And now, O sons, listen to me: blessed are those who keep my ways.
This is spoken of as wisdom in most commentaries and rightly so as in Paul’s gospel we find that in Christ is
found all wisdom. Jesus even gives a parable of the pearl of great price, which those who find the gate, door,
unleavened bread of life by the Spirit and in the spirit enters and partakes of.
Now to tie this with where we are under the Gospel of God’s Grace and Paul’s revealing of who Jesus
of Nazareth, Israel’s Messieh or in Greek the anointed one Christ is we’ll turn to Ephesians and
Colossians letters.
Eph 3:8-10 To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things, so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.
Col 1:16-18 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
From what we have presented so far we see Jesus Christ found in both the Old and New Testaments.
From here on we’ll be looking at mostly the person of Christ Jesus as Lord and federal head of His
Church. The mystical Body of Christ is revealed in “Paul’s Mystery Revealed.
Christ Messieh
Rom 16:25-27 Now to Him that is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept in silence through times eternal,[before Adam was created] but now is manifested, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known to all the nations to obedience of faith: to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory for ever.
[My Gospel is the preaching of the cross and faith in His death, burial for the three days and three nights in the earth, and His resurrection and our being in Christ during His suffering as the Lord’s Table tells us. We share in His cup of affliction and are members of His body. See 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 the Gospel, 1 Corinthians 11:23-27 the cup and the bread as found in Matthew 26:26-30, Luke 22:15-20.]
2Pe 3:15-16 Count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you[the letter to the Hebrews] according to the wisdom (knowledge) given him, as he does in all his letters [Romans through Philemon] when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, [the mysteries] which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.
[The old testament, Genesis through Acts 13:2, the religious Jew had nothing to do with a Gentile and for God to have turned to the Gentiles with the message of Grace and Faith a lone was totally beyond them and their mind set or comprehension.]
Eph 3:2-7 Assuming that you have heard of the stewardship [dispensation, or administration is given for a period of time] of God's grace that was given to me for you, how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly. When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations [dispensations of time] as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of His power.
[These are not the Prophets of the Old Testament but rather the followers of Christ’s discipline as Paul was and imitators of Paul as he was of Christ. As Paul had stated and required of his followers in order for them to be a pastor or teacher of the mysteries. This is a study of the “Leader’s Requirements” found in “Paul’s Mystery Revealed”.]
[1Co 14:1 Follow after LOVE; yet desire earnestly spiritual gift, but rather that you may prophesy.
This is the proclaiming of the Gospel of the Grace of God revealed in the mysteries, which only the apostles and prophets of Paul knew and understood, such as Priscilla and Aquila in Acts 18 and can be found in “Paul’s Mystery Revealed” in the “Secrets Revealed” study.]
Rom 8:9-13 You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life [quickened or bring to life, alive] because of righteousness. If the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through His Spirit that dwells in you. So then, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: for if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.
[The body is dead or counted as dead when the discipline of the cross has had its perfect work in you. Those who mind the things of the flesh and do these things are not part of the mystical Body of Christ and will not be part of those of the departure. These will see the white throne judgment and the second death the lake of fire reserved for the devil and his comrades. To live by the Spirit this is to follow the Lord through the discipline of the cross, to take up your cross daily and put to death the lusts of the flesh. See our study in ‘Paul’s Mystery Revealed’ in the “Body” section for more insight. ]
Rom 8:14-18 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you received not the spirit of bondage again to fear; [This is the death of the earthy and their judgment.] but you received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: and if children, [sons] then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified with Him [the word 'with' is a relationship word denoting union, in Him, may be also glorified, this is the taking out of the Body of Christ a mystery.] For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.
[That is His death, burial and resurrection and for our faith in the revealed understanding of all that was finished on the cross. This is not by works but rather by faith in the finished work of the cross and our being a part of Him on that tree. See the study on “Christ in You” and the out line of “Redemption’ found in ‘Paul’s Mystery Revealed’.]
Rom 15:8-9 I say that Christ has been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm [fulfill, that is of His coming as prophesied] the promises given to the fathers [Israel], and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, therefore will I give praise to you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.
[The confirming of the promises is Christ’s ministry work and assignment before the cross. Peter in 2 Peter 3:15-16 is saying that Paul has a similar authority as shown here that Moses carried in his ministry. Paul says a similar thing in Ephesians 3:8.] Why is Moses' ministry so important? Because his name holds a key that has been shrouded or hidden. Mo or Mu means water and sheh to draw out in Egyptians and sheh means Iesus means Jesus which means salvation (Exodus 3:10), when put together it says through water comes our salvation and Moses was the fore runner of this truth. Moses in Deuteronomy chapter 18: 15 and 18 tells Israel that God is going to raise upon a prophet like himself and this fits Jesus Christ to a tee. Isaiah says that his name will be called Immanuel in chapters 7:14 and 8:8, which is then repeated in Matthew chapter 1:23. We are saved through water and the blood of Christ Jesus.
Eph 3:8-12 To me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; and to make all men see what is the [fellowship of this] dispensation of the mystery which for ages had been hid in God who created all things; to the intent that now to the principalities and the powers in the heaven lies might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in Him.
[The principalities and powers are not the fallen angels that are being held in the bowls of the earth in thickness and darkness waiting for the final judgment. The church here is the Body of Christ that is not in division or denominationalized as we see in the church of the world today. There is no power or presence of God or the working of the Kingdom of God in such institutions. They do not fit the requirements revealed for the Body of Christ. They have nothing to do with the mysteries or the teachings of Paul and because of this as Paul and Peter said they bring destruction on themselves. They follow another gospel and anti-Christ in their practices.]
1Co 4:1-2 Let a man so account of us, as of ministers of Christ, and stewards [an overseer or an administrator] of the mysteries of God. Here, moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
[This is what each member of the true Body of Christ is to be doing in their daily life; it is their conversation or life style. We are required to have a full working knowledge of these secrets. And the maxims or principles that they generate.]
1Co 4:16 I beseech you therefore, be imitators of me.
[Learn from me, be a carbon copy of me as I am of Christ]
1Co 11:1 Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
[Paul in Acts 22:19-21 had direct communications with the risen who was in glory Lord.]
John 1:6-8 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. [John the Baptist] The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, [John the Baptist] but came that he might bear witness of the light.
[Jesus Christ is the light that passed through the earth in creation as recorded in Genesis the light that gave life to man. See Genesis the Untold Story.]
John 1:9 There was the true light, the light which lights every man, [how many?] coming into the world.
Rom 1:18-21 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness; because that which is known of God is manifest in them; [The spiritual seed deposited in them as found in Genesis] for God manifested it to them. [All of nature bears witness to this fact.] For the invisible things of Him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, His everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: because that, knowing God, they glorified Him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasoning’s, and their senseless heart was darkened.
[All ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth here we see the institutions of religious ceremony that fall under the form of the Pharisees, Sadducees and scribes of the Jewish religion of Jesus’ day. There’s no room for debate salvation is available to all for God is no respecter of persons all mankind carries this seed in themselves, it is our free will choice to except or reject His Grace.
The whole of humanity from Cain on; all earthy, natural, carnal mankind will experience this wrath with a few exceptions: the spiritual man or woman who have turned from the vain things of the world. Who chose to not partake of the customs of Men and the vile religions or religious holidays of the world’s religious systems.]
Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world; looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to Himself a people for His own possession, zealous of good works.
[The works of love, when done as He directs, in love and obedience according to His will as a loving son obeys his father. Will deny all worldly lusts and rebellion of men as directed because he knows what the Father requires of him is for his good. For more detail see the outline on” Redemption” and the study on the removal of the mystical “Body of Christ” in ‘Paul’s Mystery Revealed’.]
Eph 3:3-5 How that by revelation was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words, whereby, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ; which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit.
[These prophets are the men that followed Paul’s teachings and that are imitators of him as he was of Christ, i.e. Timothy, Barnabas etc.. These are not of the twelve original disciples or their group, as found after the council in Jerusalem found in Acts 15:1-29, with Paul's version is found in Galatians 2:1-10.]
1Pe 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, [writing] to the elect who are sojourners [the scattered Jews] of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.
[This dispersion group is of both that which took place 600 years prior to Jesus’ coming and when Saul was hunting down the followers of 'the way' that ran from Jerusalem but before the Romans under Titus destroyed the Temple and carried off and scattered the Jews in 70 AD.]
1Peter 1:9-11 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come to you: searching what time or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point to, when He testified beforehand [from Genesis up through Malachi] the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.
[The Holy Spirit or the angel of the Lord as He was called in the Old Testament is who Peter is addressing here.]
[The sufferings of Christ in His death, burial and resurrection, and the Heaven on earth or the Gospel the Kingdom of Heaven that Jesus taught and spoke of in Matthew through Acts 2. The promises that had been given to the fathers starting with Abraham and the things that the prophets saw and spoke of and wrote of by the spirit. Though veiled to Israel and all natural humanity. See Isaiah 53:1-9 is just one example.]
Isa 53:1-9 Who has believed our message? To whom has the arm of Adonai been revealed? For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: [this is in reference to Bethlehem] he had neither form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. [You do not know that He is a King.] He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our grief, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, [He was the Supreme SIN sacrifice.] he was bruised for our iniquities; [First for Israel then for the whole human race.] the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. [Set at one with God again, redeemed into salvation.] All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Adonai has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off [put to death] out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due? They made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
[He was despised and rejected, they did not know who He was even after three years of proof they did not know Him. He bore our grief and sorrows He carried the full load not only for Israel but for the whole world, He was the sacrifice for all. Him stricken and smitten the whipping and the betting given Him for all. And afflicted the work of the cross that was required by all He took upon Himself in love for all. With His stripes we are healed this is not dealing with the physical nature of man but rather mans spiritual aspect. We have turned every one to his own way they choose not to except Him because He was born in Bethlehem, grew up in Nazareth, worked the works of God for three years and they still did not know Him. He was oppressed speaking of the finished work of the cross. Now Israel had no understanding that this was speaking about their Messieh because their eyes were veiled to it. This is what Peter is making reference to, this and other passages.]
1Pe 1:12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced to you through them that preach the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.(Hear what he says as found in Acts chapter2 listen closely.)
[Remember to whom Peter is, and to who he is writing, [the believing Jews that are scattered] that he is a religious Jew under the Law. In his second letter he refers to Paul’s writings and tells these Jews that they are to study Paul’s letters to gain the spiritual understanding and full knowledge of God and His will as revealed in Jesus Christ.]
Col 1:12-17 Giving thanks to the Father, who made us meet [prepared us] to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love; in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins: who is the image of the invisible God, [Adonai, Yeshua, Immanuel, Jesus] the firstborn of all creation;[Ehyeh-Yeshua] for in Him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through Him, and to Him; and He is before all things, [the pre-existent one] and in Him all things consist.
[We are in the Kingdom, if in deed we follow Him in the discipline of His cross.Which is required in order to enter into the finished work of His cross, the narrow way of the regeneration. As Isaiah said by His stripes we are healed, that is to receive redemption leading to salvation. He is the Elohim of creation, the Christ that was in Adam prior to the fall, that Christ whom Adam crucified by his action of rejection or disobedience. Genesis 1-3 see Genesis the untold story.]
Col 1:18-19 He is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence. It was the good pleasure of the Father [The Godhead Elohim] that in Him [Jesus Christ, Elohim of creation and more.] should all the fullness dwell.
John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning God. [Elohim]
John 1:14 The Word [promised by God, Adonai, as the Immanuel] became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
Heb 1:1-2 God, [Elohim] having of old time spoken to the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, has at the end of these days spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds.
[Christ’s first advent is the last days of Old Testament scripture because His coming was the end of the dispensation or the completion of the promises of His coming given to Israel. The people through whom God had chosen to bring in the redeemer, the seed of woman, who would introduce salvation in His grace and truth.]
To Paul a lone was this revelation given who God the Son is. No one else in human history could have taken
upon himself all that Paul reveals about the Son. When you realize that on Him was laid all Sin and that He was made to be Sin and that all the wrath and chastisement of God [Elohim] was laid upon Him. Had He been any less than who He was He could not have handled it. God [El, Elohim-Adonai] Himself took upon Himself what was ours.
The following is taken from Robertson’s Word Picture commentary:
In the beginning (en archēi). Archē is definite, though anarthrous like our at home, in town, and the similar Hebrew be reshith in Genesis 1:1. But Westcott notes that here John carries our thoughts beyond the beginning of creation in time to eternity. There is no argument here to prove the existence of God any more than in Genesis. It is simply assumed. Either God exists and is the Creator of the universe as scientists like Eddington and Jeans assume or matter is eternal or it has come out of nothing.
Was (ēn). Three times in this sentence John uses this imperfect of eimi to be which conveys no idea of origin for God or for the Logos, simply continuous existence. Quite a different verb (egeneto, became) appears in John 1:14 for the beginning of the Incarnation of the Logos. See the distinction sharply drawn in John 8:58 “before Abraham came (genesthai) I am” YEH (eimi, timeless existence).
The Word (ho logos). Logos is from legō, old word in Homer to lay by, to collect, to put words side by side, to speak, to express an opinion. Logos is common for reason as well as speech. Heraclitus used it for the principle which controls the universe. The Stoics employed it for the soul of the world (anima mundi) and Marcus Aurelius used spermatikos logos for the generative principle in nature. The Hebrew memra was used in the Targums for the manifestation of God like the Angel of Jeh or Yeh and the Wisdom of God in Pro 8:23. Dr. J. Rendel Harris thinks that there was a lost wisdom book that combined phrases in Proverbs and in the Wisdom of Solomon which John used for his Prologue (The Origin of the Prologue to St. John, p. 43) which he has undertaken to reproduce. At any rate John’s standpoint is that of the Old Testament and not that of the Stoics nor even of Philo who uses the term Logos, but not John’s conception of personal pre-existence. The term Logos is applied to Christ only in John 1:1, 14; Rev 19:13; 1John 1:1 “concerning the Word of life” (an incidental argument for identity of authorship as EHYEH or YEH). There is a possible personification of “the Word of God” in Heb 4:12. But the personal pre-existence of Christ is taught by Paul (2Cor 8:9; Phi 2:6.; Col 1:17) and in Heb 1:2. and in John 17:5. This term suits John’s purpose better than sophia (wisdom) and is his answer to the Gnostics who either denied the actual humanity of Christ (Docetic Gnostics) or who separated the aeon Christ from the man Jesus (Cerinthian Gnostics) as Jah or iah. The pre-existent Logos “became flesh” (sarx egeneto, John1:14) and by this phrase John answered both heresies at once.
With God (pros ton theon). Though existing eternally with God the Logos was in perfect fellowship with God. Pros with the accusative presents a plane of equality and intimacy, face to face with each other. In 1John 2:1 we have a like use of pros: “We have a Paraclete with the Father” (paraklēton echomen pros ton patera). See prosōpon pros prosōpon (face to face, 1Cor 13:12), a triple use of pros. There is a papyrus example of pros in this sense to gnōston tēs pros allēlous sunētheias, “the knowledge of our intimacy with one another” (M.&M., Vocabulary) which answers the claim of Rendel Harris, Origin of Prologue, p. 8) that the use of pros here and in Mark 6:3 is a mere Aramaism. It is not a classic idiom, but this is Koiné, not old Attic. In John 17:5 John has para soi the more common idiom.
And the Word was God (kai theos ēn ho logos). By exact and careful language John denied Sabellianism by not saying ho theos ēn ho logos. That would mean that all of God was expressed in ho logos and the terms would be interchangeable, each having the article. The subject is made plain by the article (ho logos) and the predicate without it (theos) just as in John 4:24 pneuma ho theos can only mean “God is spirit,” not “spirit is God.” So in 1John 4:16 ho theos agapē estin can only mean “God is love,” not “love is God” as a so-called Christian scientist would confusedly say. For the article with the predicate see Robertson, Grammar, pp. 767f. So in John 1:14 ho Logos sarx egeneto, “the Word became flesh,” not “the flesh became Word.” Luther argues that here John disposes of Arianism also because the Logos was eternally God, fellowship of Father and Son, what Origen called the Eternal Generation of the Son (each necessary to the other). Thus in the Trinity we see personal fellowship on an equality.
Jamieson,Fausset and Brown Word study:
Word, The
(See JOHN; JESUS.) Christ's title, as the personal Revealer in Himself [ EHYEH given to Moses at the burning bush. Exodus 3:14]of the Godhead, even before His incarnation, involving personality (not merely the Intelligence of God) and Divinity. In the introduction of John's Gospel and that of his Epistle, and in his Rev 19:13, at once with God and Himself God, by whom God made all things. Philo's Logos ("word") on the contrary excludes personality, and is identical at times with God, at other times with the world. By word man, who is in God's image, makes known his mind; so the Word is the outcome of God's essence (Heb 4:12-13; 1Pet 1:25; Gen 1:3); by the Word He made the universe (Psa 33:6). The Medium of every external act of God (Heb 1:1-3) in the physical and spiritual creations.
From what we've seen and heard Jesus Christ was and is the very Essence of God in Spirit or known as the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost. That He was in man from the very on set of time as found in Genesis 1:1 and continues throughout scripture revealing to the elect who He is both by word and revelation by inspiration from within His receptive ones. This mystery that had been hidden from the lost, consisting of Jew and gentiles/nation but made known to the elect of God. Those who are willing to submit to God's rule and authority freely. For great is the mystery of Godliness.
