Jesus proof He is God and the Godhead
Part two
The Godhead walkthrough
The Father is not the Son, while the Father is God.
Jesus is the Son who is one with the Father in nature.
The Hebrew name for Jesus is Yeshua while Jesus is Greek. Psalm 102 is a prayer to Yeshua. Verse twelve is: “But thou, O Lord, shall endure forever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.”
This teaches that Yeshua will endure forever. Verse 25 reads “Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.”
God is speaking that Yeshua or Jesus laid the foundation of the earth. Yeshua is unchangeable and will roll up creation. Yeshua therefore cannot be a creature as He is unchangeable if He rolls up creation like a garment. Only God could lay the foundations of the earth and roll it up which Jesus as the Son with the same nature portrays:
Hebrews 1:8-12
“But to the (Son) He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness: Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.” And: “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain, And they will all grow old like a garment; Like a cloak, You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail.”
But to the Son God says, this implies two persons present. Yashua became man the heir to David’s throne and was anointed by God His Father. The rest of this scripture quotes Psalm 102. Psalm 102 is applied by God to the Son. God cannot apply His power to anyone certainly not a creature who is without beginning and without end. The Farther are one in nature but not the same person:
Isaiah 44:6
“Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last, and beside me there is no God.”
He summoned the generations and was there at the first generation of creatures. He will be there at the last generation being with God and the nature of God. So this person is timeless, He can’t be like you or me as we have a beginning and end:
Revelation 1:17-18
“And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”
Jesus states in Revelation One that He is the first and the last. He was alive as a man and died, and was resurrected to live evermore holding the keys of hell and of death:
Revelation 2:8
“And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive.”
Revelation 2 states that Jesus is the first and the last, was dead and is now alive:
Revelation 21:6-7
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.”
God tells us in Revelation 21 that He will be His God and is Alpha and Omega. Alpha and Omega mean simply beginning and no-end. He will be my Som meaning Jesus:
Revelation 22:12-13
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Jesus is coming quickly. Even Muslims believe that Jesus or Isa ibn Maryam (Son of Mary) is alive and in heaven. He also holds the title of “Messiah” (al-masih in Arabic). The true God is Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end. Jesus also quotes the same thing, meaning He is also God and not a creature. They are both distinct persons but the same. This explains the Godhead and why the Holy Spirit is crucially needed to enter a creature, to impart the change needed to be a Son of God, just like Jesus was the Son of Man:
2 Samuel 23:2-3
“The (Spirit of the Lord) spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. The God of Israel said, the (Rock of Israel) spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.”
The spirit of the Lord (Ruach Ha-Kodesh) the Holy Spirit is the third person on the Godhead, who is not a creature. The Father is one in nature but not the same person. In 2 Samuel the Holy Spirit, the (rock) or God of Israel spoke to David:
Jeremiah 31:33-34
“But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
How do you get laws in their inward minds?
Through the Holy Spirit who then dwells in the heart:
Hebrews 10:15-17
“Whereof the (Holy Ghost) also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.”
Paul said the Holy Spirit is a witness to us. The workings of the Holy Spirit are invisible, glorious, and gentle, and within them, He never tells us about Himself. He comes to glorify Jesus—helping us to see Him more, to understand Him better, to respond to Him more obediently, and to love Jesus with a deeper heart of commitment.
Adam and Eve’s connection
“Let there be” was the command of God in Genesis. Let (us) make man in (our) image after (our) likeness. God continued let (them) have dominion over the fish of the sea. Adam is plural, reflecting God as plural, or a plurality of persons working together, while Adam became a (them). God is a He, but in Genesis 1:26 He is a (us) and (our). Adam as plural meaning more than one, or (in languages with dual number) more than two, become two, male and female (Eve), two different genders with physical bodies, not spiritual bodies. This is not the likeness of God but the (working together) in the likeness of God more than one person. We can make changes in our choice of words and create better outcomes, or help others grasp the meaning of a concept.
Adam to an extent symbolises the plurality and unity within God. A community of believers are the same in one nature, coming together in perfect union but (separate) entities. Eve was bone of (my) bone, flesh of (my) flesh, and the same nature. She obviously can’t be inferior to him if she has everything the same apart from gender. She is equal in nature to him and came out of him. (Wo-man) is plural as she was taken out of man or (Womb-of-man)-Hebrew-(Isha)-(Ish):
Matthew 19:4-6
“And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that (he) which made (them) at the beginning made them (male) and (female), And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
God made two different genders, but the two are one flesh in marriage, they are no longer two but now one. Yet they are two distinct physical beings. Likewise, God does not say three God’s He says one, but with (three entities) working as one Father-Son-Holy Spirit. Before creation, the Word was already existing (Jesus). The Word was with God, and the Word was God. After creation, Adam was with Eve, yet Eve was Adam in nature.
Analogy of the Godhead
The Trinity is like the mind’s ability to remember, to understand, and to will. Say someone is in a conversation and would like to insert a fact they learned to support their argument. They would first have to have (understood) the words of the fact, then will themselves to (recall) the fact, and then actually (remember) it. When you desire something, you must understand what you are desiring, and you must remember that you are desiring. The strength of this illustration is that the acts are distinct and can never be fully separated from the mind.
God’s mode of existence, the way he exists is unique in creation and there is nothing identical to it. This would transcend our ability to fully understand creation. There’s nothing identical to the Trinity, and we’re not able to fully comprehend it which should be expected if we’re dealing with an infinite mind, a being that’s beyond comparison and exists in a completely different way than the way creatures do. We can, for example, speak of one family, but a family consists of more than one person. We can speak of one nation, but a nation consists of millions of people.
A car has many components but it’s still one car. So we need to ask what it means to be One.
In the temporal finite creation if you’re one being you’re one person, but how do you know that if you go to a higher level of existence you can’t be one being and more than one person?
God is not limited to a single person and His existence transcends our existence. It’s not multiple gods but one God who is the Father and Union with his Eternal Word to Son, and eternal Spirit, and that’s the one, God, so the one God cannot be other than the Father, and his Eternal Word his son and his eternal spirit.
God sees we’re creatures bound to time, space and place. We are bound in a world that is finite, limited and temporal, so we only assess by what we see and experience and in our experience every being is a single person which is also not completely true because of Siamese twins.
In Genesis 1:27 it tells us that Adam is male and female, the male and the female together is the one Adam.
In Genesis 5 verse 2 it says that the day he created them male and female, and the day that he created a male and female, he called them and named them Adam. So the male is called Adam the female is his wife is called Adam, and then in Genesis 2:24 it says for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and cling to his wife and the two shall become one flesh. Yet Eve has her own flesh body and she’s a distinct physical being. Adam her husband has his own physical body and he is a distinct physical being, yet they are one.
