[1] The God [who spoke by
the prophets] is…
Yahweh: Jesus is Yahweh [1 Timothy 3:6 God
was manifest in the flesh, Acts 20:28 “God’s Church which he (God) purchased
with his own blood]
Jehovah: Jesus is Jehovah
[John 1:1 In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with God and the
WORD WAS GOD]
Adonay Elohiym: Jesus is Adonay Elohiym
[John 20:28, And Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord (Adonay) and my God (Elohiym)]
ALL the fullness of the GODHEAD dwells in
Jesus in PHYSICAL FORM [Colossians 2:9]
[2] The Greek words patrasin or patēr,
depending on which text one reads, are both defined by Strong’s as the same
word [G3962], and are usually translated as “father,” but not always. Depending
on context, the words can refer to both parents or to ancestors in general.
Therefore, it is encumbent upon the reader to determine context and which usage
is most accurate in a verse or passage. In Hebrews 1:1, the word ancestor is
most accurate, as the prophets did not speak only to the patriarchs [Abraham,
Issac, Jacob] but to all of the people—both women and men.
[3] Jesus is made BETTER than the angels,
not just a human with higher ranking than the angels but BETTER, because all of
the fullness of the Godhead resides in Jesus in physical form. Jesus is not
half-god and half-human [like the mythical Greek gods] but from the moment he
entered the kosmos, and through-out eternity, he is fully God and fully human.
[4]
Some teach that Jesus is Michael the archangel. Jesus is not an angel. “For to
which of the angels did he say ‘Thou art my Son This day have I begotten thee?”
The angels are all created beings, but the babe born of a virgin was begotten/conceived
and born—not created. The man Christ Jesus is a genetic child of Mary and a
genetic child of YAHWEH. Wouldn’t we love to see his DNA? !!!
[5] Verse five tells us that Jesus was not
always the Son but rather became the Son when he entered the kosmos.
Psalm 2:6-7 “Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of
Zion I will declare the decree YAHWEH has said unto me Thou art
my Son this day have I begotten thee.” The only way Eternal Sonship
could be true, is if Psalm 2 is not a prophecy but rather speaks of a day in Heaven
when Jesus was created. But Jesus is YAHWEH—the Creator—not one
of his creations. Also, in eternity, there are no days. Days
belong only to time, not to eternity. Hebrews chapter one declares that the
entrance of THE WORD John 1:1 into the kosmos is the fulfillment of Psalm
chapter 2, and that entrance was when THE WORD became THE SON. The prophecy,
written by David, was fulfilled on a day in time [not in
eternity].
Recap: On a day in time—in the kosmos, not Heaven—THE WORD became
the Son. The Sonship of Jesus derives—entirely—from his holy conception as a human.
His sonship is incarnational and from his conception on, perpetual.
