This controversial subject is critical to those who are serious about “Running the Race”, learning the Rules, & Winning. Similarly critical, is God’s Identity ( see: “the Importance of Knowing …” ) Both controversial, but yet resolvable.. even though the theologians haven’t / can’t agree on their identities. Sounds like battles that I shouldn’t get into, but I have a mission to present this Gift-given, End Time, groundwork information. This is part of my Apostolic / doctrinal Setting.
There are two major view-points about Yeshua’s ‘identity’… one claiming that Yeshua is his own person, a true Son, who carefully heeded the Father’s directives, & willingly gave His life as the Father’s “sacrificial Lamb” to redeem fallen mankind. The other viewpoint claims that Yeshua is “God” incarnate; therein stating that Yeshua must be recognized, praised, & worshipped as “God the Father”. Rules to the Race, starts with learning the identities of our God & His Son !!
Our Reformation Fathers interpreted the scriptures from a “natural-man” viewpoint… the Holy Spirit, Gifts of the Spirit, & the 5-fold Settings, being unknown to them. This greatly limited their insight of the scriptures. Thankfully, they were able to understand that mankind’s salvation required “faith” in Yeshua’s redemptive work. But they saw no further than “the Cross” So,it wasn’t all their fault. If it had been God’s “plan” & “time” to restore the 2nd & 3rd Glories, I wouldn’t be writing these pages to the Runners. Back then, it wasn’t God’s ‘time’…but now it’s time to ‘open up the words’, and so, I implore you to consider carefully my credentials, the Vision described In “the Importance of Knowing..”, & the scripture listed below:
|
Gen 22:2 |
Take…your only son…whom you love…Sacrifice him there. God’s directive to Abraham; The prophetic sacrifice of Yeshua |
|
John 3:16 |
God so loved the world that He gave His onlybegotten Son that whoever Believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life |
|
Acts 4:12 |
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Outer Ct / 1st Gl. |
|
Eph 2:8 |
by grace that you have been saved, thru faith..& this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God..not by works.. Outer Ct / 1st Gl. |
|
John1:12 |
But as many as received Him, to them He gave power (H. Spirit) to become the Sons of God. Gospel of the Kingdom…all 3 Glories |
|
Eph 2:18 |
For thru Him (Yeshua) we both (Hebrew & Gentile) have access to the Father by one (Holy) Spirit. Kingdom-Gospel..3 Glories |
|
John 5:19 |
the Son can do nothing by Himself: He can only do what He sees His Father doing…the Father loves the Son & shows Him all He does |
|
John 5:36 |
For the very work that the Father has given Me to finish, & which I am doing, testifies that the Father has sent Me. |
|
John 12:49 |
For I do not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent Me commanded Me what to say & how to say it. |
|
John 14:28 |
and I am coming back to you. If you loved Me, you would be glad I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. |
|
John 14:31 |
I love the Father and I do exactly what my Father has commanded me. |
|
John 14:16 |
No one comes to the Father except thru Me. |
|
John 15:5 |
If a man remains in Me & I in Him, he will bare much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing. “I in Him” (& Him in I) is not an Identity-swap. |
|
Hebr 11:6 |
Anyone who comes to God must believe that He exists; and that He is a rewarder to those who earnestly seek Him. (Him = by Himself) Comment: “comes to God must believe that He exists”…means GOD ONLY…Not a Father-Son Identity-Swap / theological inter-twine |
|
Mat 24:36 |
No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. |
|
1Cor 15:24 |
Then the end will come, when He (Yeshua) hands over the Kingdom to God the Father. The Era of Man’s Salvat’n & advancm’t.. done |
These scriptures illustrate the unique identities, & individual works, of both the Father & the Son… differences that will definitely exist thru out Eternity. They also leave no doubt about who the “authority-figure” is, and who authored Yeshua’s script, & viewed its exact fulfillment. Yeshua’s statements reveal the close alliance that exists between Himself & the Father. They worked together to convey their teachings with flawless perfection. But their identities are separate & vastly different; not illustratable with a triangle. Try drawing a triangle 1”x 2”x 200,000”. Can’t be done… but,“no loss”.. the “equal-trinity” is non-existent, anyway. The extraordinary solar-Vision described in “the Importance of Knowing…” reveals the colossal vast difference between God, & His Son, Yeshua. Recognizing, Honoring, and loving them for their True Identities is one of the absolutely crucial Entry Requirements to the “Father’s approval”/ His Presence/ His City. The Reformation Fathers read it correctly… there is a God the Father, a Holy Spirit, & an only-begotten Son. Most all of us are in agreement on that. But individual doesn’t automatically mean “co-equal”. God’s Hebrew-self-ID. Deut 6:4 says they are “Echad”…a compound one. (Not “Yachid” an absolute one.) “Echad” generally means “grouped together”… but that still doesn’t interprete as “co-equals” or an “equal-trinity”. As Yeshua said “the Father is greater than I” (Jn 14:28) But, if unaware of all this, the Reformers could assume them to be co-equal, or even that the Father had to fully indwell Yeshua. Did the Reformation Fathers think it was “heretical” to believe that God could bring into being an only-begotten Son who would then eternally remain as His own person ? Did dark-age myths skew their view of the scriptures ? Did having a ‘flesh & blood’ “Son” seem too similar to Pagan ‘multi-god’ mythology ? Was Satan one step ahead…inventing myths that paralleled God’s truths… thereby intimidating their perspective & correct interpretation of the scriptures ?
Yeshua’s Identity
The Last Adam
Judeo-Christian theology states that the Last Adam… a person who is capable of dieing in Mankind’s place.. had to be a sinless perfect man. Nobody qualifies for that role, except Yeshua… no animal, no earthly man, no Angel, no Spirit, and not even God the Father. God, the conceptualizer, designer, giver and sustainer of life, etc… is not qualified… not being a man. Only Yeshua… begotten of the Father… humanly birthed & built… tempted, & suffered all things common to Mankind… and having the purity qualification: total sinlessness… by Himself, He was the Last Adam. In God’s eyes having all the perfect requirements needed to pay the price of Adams sin…death ! And so, God fulfilled His promise of supplying an unblemished /perfect “Sacrificial Lamb”, just as He had Abraham prophetically-enact… a Father that gave his Son as a sacrifice. A perfect, Holy Spirit infilled, instruction-keeping, authority speaking, victorious Son… who did it without His Father having to fight His battles for Him… ( as if He was an insufficient, blemished Lamb. ) So, rejoice that God conceived this flawless plan to redeem Mankind. Yeshua delighted the Father & earned the right to be Glorified by Him, and receive, forever… the honor, gratitude, & love of all Redeemed-Mankind.
This information is nothing new… God began revealing this to Ancient Israel… Yeshua finalized it… & the 1st Century disciples faithfully recorded it… & even tho obliterated by Empires, & Men’s Doctrines the last 1700 years… per God’s perfect timing, it is now being brought to light, again, in these End Days, to equip the Later Rain Runners. Too long now, we’ve failed to advance, accepting the 1-Glory Gospel, that didn’t /couldn’t resolve the critically important “foundational” truth: what exactly, is the relationship between God the Father, & His only-begotten Son. Altho the uncompleted I D’s haven’t obscured the Salvation message… entry Into the Outer Court, they really interfere with attaining to “the prize of the High Invitation”. And now, with the 3rd Glory door in sight, it has become an issue, & the 1-Glory Gospel is understandably unable to explain the missing 3rd Glory entry requirements & restrictions… God’s tenaciously enforced details that will bar the entry to all, except the Beloved Sons & Daughters thru the narrowest door, into His Majestic Holy City. And now, truly, “the words are being opened up”… it’s the End Times !!!
“My God, My God, Why have You Forsaken Me ?”
What does “Forsaken” mean ? To understand it, we must first know what it means to “have” it. To those of us who are experiencing the Holy Spirit “Infilling”, it would mean feeling a similar “presence”. Not a take-control-of-you presence… but a gentle, strengthening presence. This would be the meaning when Yeshua said: “the Father in Me, & I in My Father”. It is because of this loss of “presence”, that Yeshua “cries out”. Altho the Father withdrew from Him, Yeshua knows that the Father still overhears Him… and to Him, Yeshua “cries out”… “My God, My God, Why have You forsaken Me ?”
Apparently, many Believers have overlooked the magnitude of Yeshua’s final words, that describe the true meaning of what was about to happen on “the Cross”. The Father’s departure, followed by Yeshua’s loud cry-out, are emphatically telling us who was about to die on the Cross. It won’t be “the Father” who had just withdrawn from Him… and it won’t be “the Holy Spirit” who doesn’t qualify as a “flesh and blood Man”. The Father had just then withdrawn from Yeshua… leaving Him there, alone & dieing… God’s perfect and only provision to pay for Adam’s Sin… His Beloved, sinless, Unblemished Lamb: Yeshua. Yeshua’s “cry-out”, heard by the witnesses, & then “read” by the World, testifies that alone on the Cross… by Himself… He allows the Father to sacrifice Him, that whosoever accepts this Salvation gift, will thereby have their sins forgiven, and enter into the Outer Court of God’s Kingdom. It’s His crowning achievement.
He was miraculously brought into this world, healed the sick, raised the dead, identified Himself, taught the truths of theThree-Glory Kingdom, & lived and died fulfilling prophecy. But then, after all that, God was not about to have Yeshua’s final glorious work mis-identified & stolen from Him, by the erroneous claims of some, who think that “God the Father” was there, dieing on the Cross. This final event made it very clear… who was the “Lamb” that died on the Cross. This was the victorious atonement work that will enable God’s Kingdom to be filled with the “Kingdom Inhabitants”. Without God’s merciful & just plan to save fallen Mankind, there would not be a single person within the Universe. It would be just a vast, eerie, empty & silent Universe… without a single voice lifted in laughter, thanksgiving, or praise. But, now, per the Father’s fabulous Plan, Yeshua is also the wonderful Outer Court Door thru which all Believers may enter and begin advancement within this earthly Tabernacle. “I am the door, by Me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved”. And soon the day will arise “..when He hands over the Kingdom to God the Father” or, to paraphrase it with a little more detail: “..when Yeshua transfers the untold millions of ‘Kingdom Inhabitants’… Subjects, Friends, & Family… into the waiting arms of our Majestic God and Father”. Yeshua’s indispensable, & victorious work has been completed, and He now sits “exalted” at the Father’s right hand… a High Priest forever !!!
