Chapter Two
Jesus Son of God
Now if you are truly seeking truth, you
now have or you are seeking to have a Hebrew/Greek/English Interlinear
Bible. It’s not prefect. As no study tool or anything made by man is. It
doesn’t have the English translations of Hebrew words such as Elohiym,
which is a plural word, meaning more than one God. Or (YHWH) (YHVH)
called the tetragrammaton or the Hebrew sign for God, now pronounced
Yahweh or Jehovah. Or the English translations of Greek words like,
Theo, Or Theon, or Theos, or Theoi. You have to dig a little deeper to
get to truth. Let’s learn to use this Interlinear Bible. Take Hebrew
first. It reads from right to left instead of left to right. Read under
the Hebrew writing not the side bar. When you get to the word God, look
directly above the word at the Hebrew letters. Now I know you can’t read
Hebrew, you don’t have to. Go to the front of your Interlinear Bible and
find the Hebrew Alphabet. Find all the English equivalents to the Hebrew
letters in that Hebrew word for God, in order. Congratulations you have
just translated a Hebrew name of God to English. Now Greek reads the
same way English does, left to right. So follow the same instructions
with the Greek words for God. Now as for the meanings of these words go
back to the Hebrew or Greek Words in your Interlinear Bible and look
just above them and you will see a number. Such as 430, 3068 and so on,
these are Strongs Concordance Reference numbers. Every serious Bible
student should have a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, by
James Strong. It’s limited as its’ name suggests. Take the English
translation 1.Theo, 2.Theon, 3.Theos and 4.Theoi of the Greek words
translated God in all English translations of the Bible. The Strong’s
only has one number for all four words. The number is 2316 for Theos.
You need a good Word Study Bible to get the rest. The definitions we
came up with are. 1. Theo – The fullness of the Godhead or a surname,
like your last name. 2 .Theon- is only used in connection with The
Father that no one had seen or heard. As John said in the Gospel of John
1:18 No man has seen Theon at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in
the bosom (heart) of the Father He explains. And in John 5:37 Jesus
Himself says, And the Father, He sending Me has
Himself borne witness concerning Me. You have neither heard His voice at
any time, nor have you seen His Form. 3.Theos- God true or Pagan,
or with the Greek signifier that looks like an upside down lolly pop,
The Theos, or Jehovah the God of Israel. 4. Theoi - Plural meaning more
than one God, which is The Father and Jehovah. Find them in your
Interlinear and as you read your Bible, make note to which word it is,
and the Bible will open up to you as never before.
Do you remember in chapter one, (In The
Beginning Was The Word) we covered Acts chapter 7: 55 But he, (Stephen)
being full of the Holy Spirit looked up steadfastly into the heaven, and
saw Jesus standing on the right hand of Theoi. (Yes that’s right Jesus
standing next to more than one God!) Now that being said, Jesus can not
be Jehovah. Who is He? Well I want you to know He is part of the Godhead
or Theo or God! He is not the archangel Michael! Some believe that the
sons of God mentioned in Genesis chapter 6 are angels. This is a huge
mistake leading to all kinds of deception and error. The truth is these
sons of God are the first born sons of man, starting with Adam and then
Seth. Why? Because Adam was created in the image of God. Why Seth? Since
he is factually the third born son of Adam. Well the answer to that is,
Cain, the first born of Adam killed his brother out of jealousy. And the
penalty for sin is death. And we all know that Cain and every man since
Adam either has died or will die. But God saw fit not to kill Cain at
that time. But instead, rejected him and banished him. So God takes Seth
as the first born of Adam. This is made painfully clear in Genesis
Chapter 5 starting in verse 1, This is the book of the generations of
Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He
him. 2 , Male and female created He them; and blessed them,
and called their name Adam, in the day they were
created. (Now because of this verse some say God created more than one
Adam. This is just not true! What is said here is that God created Adam
and Eve. And because Eve is bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh they
are one!) 3, And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, And fathered a
son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name
Seth: 4, And the days of Adam after he had fathered Seth were eight
hundred years: and he fathered sons and daughters: (You see all these
mentioned in Genesis Chapter 5 are sons of Elohiym or the Father and
Jehovah, because Adam was created in Elohiym’s likeness or image.
And Seth was created in
Adams’ likeness or image.
Enos and all that are named after
him are sons of God. It’s that simple! So now Genesis Chapter 6 makes a
lot more sense. The Bible never says that angels were created in God’s
image, just read the descriptions in Isaiah Chapter 6:2 and in
Revelation Chapter 4:7-9, so Jesus can not be the Ark angel Michael and
be the Son of God!
Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, (Theoi,
the Father and Jehovah) now let me show you how. Let’s turn to Luke
Chapter 1, verse 30-35 And the angel (Gabriel) said to her, fear not,
Mary: for you have found favor with God (Theo or God kind) And behold,
you shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and you shall
call His name JE’SUS. He shall be great, and he shall be called the son
of the Highest: and The Lord, (The Theos, Jehovah) shall give him
(Jesus) the throne of His father David: (And if Jesus is the Son of
Theoi, why is He called Son of David? Because, even though He is
Conceived of Theoi, He is born a flesh and blood human being, not God
or Theo. He wasn’t Theo until He died and was resurrected and He offered
Himself to the Father as our sacrifice, then He was Glorified and became
Theo (GOD KIND). Rom.8:3,2 Cor.5:16, Heb.5:7, 1st.Jn.4:2-3 &
2nd.Jn.7) And He (The Theos, Theos is the Word that
was in the beginning with the Father), gave Him (Jesus) the Throne of
David, now, a physical kingdom, the kingdom of the Children of
Theoi, from Adam to the resurrection.) And He shall reign over the house
of Jacob for ever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end. (Because at
the resurrection we shall have eternal life) Then said Mary to the
angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel
answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon you and the
power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore also the Holy thing
of you shall be called the Son of Theoi. Do you see a pattern in these
Greek words for God? If you keep studying you will!
Jesus was also a prophet as Isaiah,
Jeremiah, Zechariah and a host of others were. That is why He was called
Son of Man. For example in Ezekiel Chapter 13:1-2 And the Word of the
Lord came to me, saying Son of
man, prophesy against the prophets of Is’ra-el that prophesy, out of
their own hearts, (minds) Hear the Word
of the Lord; Notice that it says the Word of the Lord came to me,
( Ezekiel son of man or Prophet of the Lord.) The Word of the Lord was
not living in Ezekiel He was coming to him! Jesus had Theoi (Jehovah and
the Father) living in Him, not from birth, but after He was baptized.
Let’s go to Matthew Chapter 3:13-17, Then comes Jesus from Gal’i-lee to
Jor’dan, to John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad Him, saying, I
have need to be baptized of You, and You come to me? And Jesus answering
said; to him (John) allow it now for it is
becoming for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allowed
Him. And Jesus, when He was baptized, went up immediately out of the
water: and, lo, the heavens were opened to Him(Jesus) and he saw
the Spirit (or power) of Theoi (Both the Father and Jehovah) descending
like a dove and lighting on Him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying,
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (As you can see here
the Spirit or power of the Father and Jehovah lighted on Him, but did it
remain on Him? Let’s go to John Chapter 1:29-36 The next day John sees
Jesus coming to him, and said, Behold the Lamb of Theoi, which takes
away the sins of the world. This is He of whom I said, After me comes a
man which is preferred before me: for He was before me. (Now the word
preferred is added, as the translator attempted to imply
authority. This means that after John’s ministry, comes Jesus ministry,
that is preferred above his (John’s ministry!) And I knew Him
not: (This does not say that John didn’t know Jesus, John was His first
cousin. What it does mean, is he didn’t know that Jesus was the Christ.)
but that He (Jesus) should be made known to Is’ra-el, therefore am I
come baptizing with water And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit
descending down from heaven like a dove, and it abode (lived or stayed)
on Him. And I knew Him not: but He (The Theos or Jehovah) that sent me
to baptize with water, the same said to me, Upon whom you shall see the
Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, is He which baptizes
with the Holy Spirit. And I (John) saw and bare record that this is the
Son of Theoi. (Theon and Theos). You see Jesus is our example. Before He
died He was all man. After Theoi raised Him from the dead and He
ascended to Theon ( The Father) He offered Himself as our sacrifice and
was accepted, the Father glorified Him, then He became Theo (or GOD
KIND) If Jesus was God and then man, He couldn’t be our example. But if
we believe that the offering of this innocent man, can take away our
past sins, then if we continue in His love, we too can become Theo. The
Church today refuses to call Jesus Son of Man, even though Jesus
Himself, did, the majority of the time. During His ministry Jesus main
position, was prophet. As the Spirit of Theoi remained on Him, The Theos
spoke through Him as He (The Theos) did through Isaiah and all the
prophets, including John the Baptist. I hope this is enough evidence
that Jesus in the flesh was also Son of Man or Prophet. Or at least
enough to get you to study for yourself.
The Bible also identifies Jesus as Priest.
The question I always asked was when did that start? Seeing that in His
ministry He never served in the temple. The answer is in the book of
Hebrews starting in chapter 4 verse 14 Seeing then that we have a great
high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of Theoi,
(the Father and Jehovah) let us hold fast our profession. (or faith in
the sacrifice of Jesus, to cover our past sins) 15, For we have
not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of
our weakness; but was in all points tempted like we are, yet
without sin. (Now if Jesus was, or is, Jehovah, He could not have been
touched (or felt) by our weaknesses, because Jehovah doesn’t have any
weakness! You might say, How would I know that? Well because the bible
says, in James chapter 1 verse 13, Let no man say when he is tempted, I
am tempted of Theoi: (the Father and Jehovah) for The Theos (Jehovah)
cannot be tempted with evil, (or sin) neither tempts He any man. Let’s
get back to Hebrews chapter 4 verse 16, Let us therefore come boldly to
the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in
time of need. Chapter 5, verse 1, For every high priest taken
from men is ordained for men in things pertaining to Theon, (The Father)
that he ( The high priest) may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2, Who can have compassion on the uninformed, and on them that are
disobedient, for he himself is also weak. (Now all the high priest after
the order of Aaron or Levi, have sinned, although, Jesus the man was
weak, because he was flesh, He was not uninformed or disobedient
therefore He was without sin. But because He was flesh, or human, He is
able to understand our weakness and have compassion on us.) 3, And for
this reason he (the high priest) should offer both gifts and sacrifices
for himself and the people. 4, And no man chooses this honor for
himself, but he that is called of Theoi as was Aaron. 5, So also Christ
glorified not Himself to be made a high priest; but He that said to Him,
You are My Son, today have I begotten You.(
the One Speaking here is Jehovah or The Theos, the Word or spokesman of
Theoi) 6, As He also says in another place, You
are a priest forever after the order of Mel-chis’e-dec. (Some say
that Jesus is, or was this Mel-chis’e-dec. The problem is Jehovah or The
Theos said that Jesus was after the order of Mel-chis’e-dec. This
means that He was of the order of Mel-chis’e-dec not that Jesus is Mel-chis’e-dec!)
7, Who in the day of His (Jesus) flesh, (This is saying,
that Jesus when He was born was a human being not God.) when He
(Jesus) had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and
tears to Him (The Theos) that was able to save (Jesus) from death, and
was heard in that He feared. (This is saying, He Jesus was heard because
of His fear. The Theos has no fear.) 8, Though, He was a Son, (of Theoi)
yet He learned obedience by the things He suffered. 9, And being made
perfect, (This is referring to Him becoming Theo or God kind.) He
(Jesus) became the author of eternal salvation to all that obey Him;
(You see if Jesus was born God, that means He always existed. So He
could not be our example or prototype. Adam was created by God, was he
God? Jesus was created by God, that is why He is called the second Adam!
The difference is Adam had God (Jehovah or The Theos) with him, not in
him, as Jesus did, after He was Baptized! ) 10, Called of Theoi a high
priest after the order of Mel-chis’e-dec. 11, Of whom we have
many things to say, and hard to explain, seeing you are slow of hearing.
(Or slow to understand.) 12, For by the time you ought to be teachers,
you have need that one teach you again which are the first principles of
the words of Theoi; and are become such as need milk, and not meat. 13,
For every one that uses milk is not acquainted with the words of
righteousness: for he is a babe. 14, But strong meat belongs to them
that are of full age, those who by use, have trained their senses
to discern both good and evil.(What is righteousness? Psalms 119:172 My
tongue shall speak of Your word: for all Your commandments are
righteousness.) Hebrews Chapter 6, verse 1, Therefore leaving the
principles of the teachings of The Christ, let us go on to maturity; not
laying again the foundations of repentance of dead works, (As Is’ra-el
did by offering animal sacrifices for their sins, yet never setting the
sins right to those they sinned against!) and faith toward Theon, (The
Father, who the promises came from) 2,of the teachings of baptism, and
laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal
judgment. ( Paul is telling us God (The Theos) wants us to go further
than all these things.) 3, And this we will do if The Theos permit.
(You see, The Theos blinds us and causes us to see.) Psalms 146:8,
Isaiah 6:9-10) Hebrews 6: 4. For it is impossible for those who
were enlightened, (Those that The Theos caused to understand.) and have
tasted of the heavenly gift, (Jesus) and were made partakers of the Holy
Spirit, 5, and have tasted the good Word of Theoi, and the powers of
the age to come. 6, If they shall fall away, to renew them again to
repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of Theoi again,
and put Him to an open shame. 7, For the earth which drinks in the rain
that often comes upon it, and brings forth herbs fit for them
by whom it was dressed (planted) receives blessings from Theoi: 8, But
that which bears thorns and briers is rejected, and near to cursing;
whose end is to be burned.(Let’s pay close attention to what is being
said here, we are planted or created by Theoi (The Father and Jehovah)
They (Theoi) send the rain on the just and the unjust, or the good and
the evil. The good will produce fruit fit for them that
planted, (Theoi plural) these will receive blessings from Theoi. (The
ones producing good fruit will get the blessings. But, those that
they planted, that produce bad fruit, described as briers and
thrones, their end is to be burned in the lake of fire. It also said
earlier that once The Theos has enlightened you, if you reject the truth
and walk away, it is impossible to renew again their repentance.
Because they crucify Him (Jesus) again, and put Him(Jesus) to open
shame! This certainly isn’t once saved always saved.)
9, But beloved, we are sure of better
things of you, and things that go with salvation, though we speak in
this manner. 10, For The Theos is not unrighteous to forget you work and
labor of love, which you have shown toward His name, in that you have
served the saints, and still do serve. 11, And we desire that everyone
of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope
to the end. (For he that endures to the end shall be saved!)
Matt.24:13 12. That you are not lazy, but imitators of them who
through faith and patience inherit the promises. ,
13, For when The Theos (Jehovah)
made promise to A’bra-ham, because He could swear by no greater, He
swear by Himself, (Because A’bra-ham knew no greater.) 14, Saying,
Surely blessing I will bless you, and
multiplying I will multiply you. 15, And so, after he had
patiently waited he obtained the promise. 16, For men truly swear by the
greater: and an oath for confirmation to them is the end of all strife.
17, Therefore, The Theos was willing to abundantly show the
unchangeableness of His counsel, confirmed by an oath:
(This is an example of the promise He The Theos will make next for The
Father. And if The Theos or Jehovah is unchangeable how could He change
into Jesus?)
18, That by two unchangeable things,
(What two unchangeable things? Theon and Theos or Theoi because They
could swear by no greater.) in which it is impossible for
Theon to lie, (Now The Theos is the Word or Spokesman of Theoi, but
ultimately all things come from Theon The Father.) so we might
have much comfort, who have fled to refuge to lay hold on the hope that
is set before us: (That we may have confidence in Theoi that made the
promise of eternal life through Jesus The Christ.) 19, Which we have as
an anchor for our life, both sure and firm, and which enters inside the
veil. 20, Where the first one has entered for us, Jesus, made
a high priest forever after the order of Mel-chis’e-dec.
(It just doesn’t make any sense that Jesus is Jehovah or Mel-chis’e-dec,
because The Theos or Jehovah is unchangeable. Jesus obviously changes,
He changed from a baby to a young child, then a teenager and then a man,
and after He was Baptized and received The Holy Spirit, a Prophet. And
after He died and The Theos raises Him from the dead and He ascends to
the Father and is glorified He becomes Theo or God and a priest for ever
after the order of Mel-chis’e-dec! Also notice the word
order this means, a beginning and orderly ordinations, to
completion. Let’s turn to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 verse
20-23 for a clue. 20, But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become
the firstfruit of them that slept. (or died) 21, For since by
man came death, by man also the resurrection of the dead.
(This is sayings, that both Adam and Jesus are both men, not
God.) 22, For as in Adam all die, and so in Christ shall all be made
alive. 23, But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruit;
afterward they that are Christ’s at His coming. (Now the Order of
Mel-chis’e-dec, starts, with Jehovah or The Theos, then Jesus and ends
with all the glorified saints at the first resurrection. But there is
but One High Priest Jesus as inherited of The Theos. Now we are not the
judge of who this includes. Lets turn to Exodus Chapter 19 verse 5-6 for
another clue. 5, Now therefore, if you will
obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant,
then you shall be a
special treasure to Me above all people: for all the earth is Mine:
6,
And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy
nation, these are the words which you shall speak to the children of
Is’ra-el. Also 1st.Peter2:9
(The New Covenant is explained in Chapter 6 of this book (What is
the New Covenant?) You see, The Theos or
Jehovah is Mel-chis’e-dec. This will be made clear in the next chapter
of Hebrews.)
Hebrews Chapter 7, For this Mel-chis’e-dec,
king of Sa’lem, priest of the Most High Theoi, who met A’bra-ham
returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessing him; (This word
Mel-chis’e-dec is correctly translated Malkiy Sedek, it’s a proper
name like John Smith.) 2, To whom also A’bra-ham gave a tenth part of
all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness and after that
also King of Sa’lem, which is King of peace; (Now the King James
translators were pretty consistent in their use of capital letters to
show deity and this is no exception to the rule. Also, I was taught in
times past that Sa’lem meant heaven, although, I can’t seem to find it
anywhere now. But I’m sure I can convince you of this by turning to
Revelation chapter 21, verse 1, And I (John) saw a new heaven (sky) and
a new earth: for the first heaven (sky) and the first earth were passed
away; and there was no more sea. 2, And I John saw the holy city, new
Je-ru’sa-lem, coming down from Theoi out of heaven, (sky)
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (You see, The physical city
of Je-ru’sa-lem is the capital city of physical Is’ra-el, it’s only a
pattern of the heavenly as the temple and everything
else on earth pertaining to Theoi (The Father And Jehovah) is. This
new Je-ru’sa-lem is the capital city of Sa’lem or heaven
were Theo is. (God kind)
Back to Hebrews chapter 7, verse 3,
Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither
beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like the Son of Theoi;
lives a priest perpetuity. (What is being said here is that this Me-chis’e-dec
has neither father nor mother or grandfathers or ancestors at all. And
that He (The Theos) was not born, and can not die! And that He is made
like the Son of Theoi. Or, He and Jesus are immortals. And that He is a
priest forever as Jesus now is.)
4, Now behold how great this One is,
to whom even the patriarch A’bra-ham gave a tenth of the spoils; 5, and
indeed those of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood have a command
to tithe the people according to the Law that is, from their brothers,
through coming forth out of A’bra-ham’s loins- 6, but He not counting
His genealogy from them has tithed A’bra-ham, and has blessed the
one having the promises. (This says that Me-chis’e-dek is not a
descendent of A’bra-ham, as we all know Jesus is, and the one having the
promises is Jesus.) 7, But without contradiction, the lesser is blessed
by the better.8, And here dying men indeed receive tithes, but there
it having witnessed that He lives; 9, And I have a word to say,
through A’bra-ham Levi also, the one receiving tithes, has been
tithed. 10, For he was yet in his father’s loins when Me-chis’e-dek met
him.11, Truly, then, if perfection was through the Levitical priestly
office – for the people has been given Law under it-why is there
yet need for another priest to arise according to the
order of Mel-chis’e-dek, and not to be called according to the order
of Aaron? (If Jesus is Mel-chis’e-dek, why does this say another
priest to arise according to the order of Mel-chis’e-dek? Also notice
that this speaks of the order of Aaron, or beginning with Aaron.) 12,
For the priestly office having been changed, of necessity a change of
law also occurs. As the translator capitalized the word for Law in verse
11, and before. In verse 12 it is talking about the ordinances of animal
sacrifices, which the Levitical Priesthood preformed. This is not
talking about doing away with God’s Covenant, it is talking about doing
away with the Levitical Priesthood and animal sacrifice. ) 13, For the
One of whom these things are said (Jesus, another called of the
order Mel-chis’e-dek, not Mel-chis’e-dek!) has partaken of another
tribe, from which no one has given devotion at the altar. 14, For it is
clear our Lord has risen out of Judah, as to which tribe Moses spoke
nothing concerning priesthood. 15, And it is still more abundantly clear
that if another priest arise according to the likeness of Mel-chis’e-dek,
16, who has not become so according to law (little l) of fleshly
command, (In other words not to perform animal sacrifice.) but according
to the power of an indissoluble life-.(You see you have to be
Theo or God kind to be a priest after the order of Mel-chis’e-dek, and
no one except Jesus has been glorified or possesses eternal life.) 17,
for it is testified, you are a priest forever according to the
order of Mel-chis’e-dek. 18, For a voiding of the preceding
command comes about because of its week and unprofitableness. 19, For
the law (little l) perfected nothing, but bringing in of a better hope,
through which we draw to Theo. (God kind)
20, And by how much it was not
apart from the swearing of an oath- for they have become priests
without the swearing of an oath, 21, but He (Jesus) with the
swearing through Him ( The Theos) who says to Him, (Jesus) The Lord (Kupios
or The Theos) swore, and will not repent, You are
forever according to the order of Mel-chis’e-dek . 22, By so
much Jesus has become Surety (guarantee, by the offering of
Himself) of a better covenant. 23, And they (the Levitical High
priests) truly are many priests, being hindered from continuing because
of death; 24, but He (Jesus) has the priesthood not to be passed on,
(because Jesus is the only man to receive eternal life!
Jesus can also be your King! If you will
make Him your King, here’s how, by keeping the New Covenant which is
Deuteronomy and part of Numbers. Or the second giving, or offering of
the Law at the valley of Moab given by Moses, the mediator of the First
Covenant. The Second Covenant was not sanctified by blood until the
sacrifice of Jesus the Christ the mediator of the Second Covenant.
Which is explained in Hebrews chapter 9-10. You see, the Law of God is
referred to, as the Law of Moses because he was the mediator of Theoi.
Remember in Exodus 20:19 when the children of Is’ra-el said to Mo’ses,
speak you with us, and we will hear: but let us not hear God less we
die. Jesus said in John 14:15 If you love Me
keep My commandments. This didn’t mean that Jesus had some new
laws and God’s Law was changed. What is said here, is that Jesus is, the
mediator of Second or New Covenant and if we love Jesus and we keep the
New Covenant, showing the evidence of God’s Law written in our heart’s.
We choose Him as our King!
