Jesus is God

The Jews answered Him, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.” John 10:33

Many people who deny the Deity of Christ will say “The Bible never said Jesus is God” or they say “Jesus never claimed to be God” well they must have skipped over this verse or chapter. Here the Religious Leaders are specifically seeking to kill Jesus because he claimed to be God

One of the big issues is people don’t understand what being the Messiah or Son of God means. Meaning call Jesus  “Christ” without thinking about it, but they don’t understand what a huge title like “Christ” (Messiah) means. That is the fulfillment of God becoming Flesh and ruling on Earth. This is exactly what the Jews believed, exactly why they wanted to kill Jesus

“I and the Father are one.” John 10:30

Now if we back up a little, this is what Jesus said to the Jews before they became enraged and ready to kill him. Jesus and God are One, think about that! That’s like me saying I am equal to God. Obviously, you would say I’m a worthless sinner and cant even be in the presence of God

However Jesus was God in the Flesh, Sinless, Holy of Holies. He is able because he is One with the Father. Now our human minds kick in, we try to make logic of this all and determine this cant be! Do you really think we are capable of comprehending the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth?

Bow down before your Lord and God , repent and beg for mercy, for loving kindness endures forever Amen!

Abba Father

For You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us And Israel does not recognize us. You, O LORD, are our Father, Our Redeemer from of old is Your name. Isaiah 63:16

An Amazing revelation by the prophet Isaiah, the God is not only the Father of Israel, but Gentiles also! There was going to come a day, when God would open up his covenant with the rest of the world through his Son Jesus Christ.

By the blood of Christ, no longer are we aliens or strangers to God, we become his Children. We become the children of God by the blood of Jesus Christ. We have entered into his eternal covenant that we will inherit the Promised Land of the New Heavens and Earth with Jesus Christ ruling from the throne

For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” Romans 8:15

When you are adopted , you are a legitimate child to that family. Joseph went to Bethlehem and he adopted/registered Jesus as his own son. Even though we know Jesus is the Son of God, by the adoption Jesus fulfilled the Line of David.

We as Christians have been adopted into Gods covenant. We are no longer slaves and strangers, we are Children of God, and we call our God “Abba Father”!  Because of Jesus Christ we have all been made One with God. Because of Christ our Redeemer Amen!

The Good Shepherd

I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. John 10:11

Jesus is many things for us, the Good Shepherd is one of the many characteristics of Christ. When we feel alone and unwanted, know this, that you have a Shepherd watching over you, who knows your voice! And we as Christians know the voice of our Shepherd, and we answered the call of our Shepherd

The Shepherd not only loves us, but he willingly laid down his life for us. As Jesus said “Nobody takes his life for him , he willingly gave up his life so we may have eternal life. (John 10:17-18) Think about it, Jesus is not only our Shepherd, but he was also our sacrificial Lamb that took away our sins

What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. Luke 15:4-5

Jesus leaves the 99 righteous Sheep to find the 1 Lost Sheep, and when he finds that Sheep, he carries them on his shoulders rejoicing! Jesus cares about your salvation, Jesus willingly gave up everything so he can save you from condemnation! What a wonderful Lord and God we serve!

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. Psalm 23:1

The Lord Jesus Christ is our Shepherd and we lack nothing! He provides everything we need including salvation that can only be received from him. Answer the call from your Good Shepherd! Stop running away and risk being devoured by wolves! Let the Lord Jesus carry you home on his Shoulders Amen!

Who Is Worthy?

“I looked, and there was no one to help, And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold; So My own arm brought salvation to Me, And My wrath upheld Me. Isaiah 63:5

Its very simple, We couldn’t save ourselves so God came to save us!  So My Own Arm (Jesus Christ) brought Salvation to God!

God was looking for people to bring him honor and glory, yet he couldn’t find anyone! Everyone has turned their own way, everyone was lost and mislead by idols and sin. However God always had a solution to humanity’s problem and its Jesus Christ. Isaiah revealed multiple times throughout his writings that Jesus is the Arm of God

Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it; Revelation 5:4

Fast forward to Revelation, still God couldn’t find anyone worthy, in Heaven or Earth , to open the scrolls, except our Lord Jesus Christ!

and one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals.” Revelation 5:5

Do not weep or mourn any longer, because the Lion of Judah (Jesus Christ) is worthy to open the book of Life. Jesus is the only one to bring us salvation , and he did on the cross at Calvary, Hallelujah to Lamb of God, he is worthy of ALL Praise Amen!

Revelation Chapter 10- The Little Book

2 Replies

I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices. v1-3

We begin this chapter with “another strong angel” coming down from heaven. Many believe this is Christ himself however it clearly says its “another angel”. Notice a Rainbow was on his head, what do we know about the Rainbow? It was the covenant God made with humanity from the judgement of the flood. The covenant is clearly still on the mind of God and he wants everyone to become saved

What are the 7 peals of thunder? Remember 7 is the number of completion in the Bible. Thunder is typically symbolic of judgement. The original Greek word for “thunder” is bronte which also means “to roar” So the 7 peals of thunder are loud yells of judgement to the world

Above the expanse over their heads was the likeness of a throne with the appearance of sapphire, and on the throne high above was a figure like that of a man. / From what seemed to be His waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire within it all around. And from what seemed to be His waist down, I saw what looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded Him. / The appearance of the brilliant light all around Him was like that of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice speaking. Ezekiel 1:26-28

Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.” v4

Whatever was spoken during the “7 Peals of Thunder” it has been sealed up by God Almighty. We can’t even begin to speculate what was said, because these words have been sealed and not revealed anywhere in the Bible.

The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets. v5-7

When the 7th and final Trumpet sounds, the mystery of God is finished! What does this mean? What is about to be revealed by God? I think this is the final warning by God for sinners! Its time to repent and be saved through Jesus Christ, after this trumpet will be the seven bowls of wrath poured out onto the Earth

Notice the angel says “there will be delay no longer” many question why didn’t Jesus return yet. Because God wants everyone to be saved! He is delaying his wrath as long as possible, however people just never want to repent. The time is running out!

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.” So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.” Then  I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. v8-10

The little book that was in the angels hand was given to John. Why was the book bitter and sweet? First off let’s be clear, the message in this little book was the Word of God. The Word of God is very sweet to those who understand its salvation and redemption. However those who reject God and his word, we know the bitterness of his wrath and judgement! This makes the Word of God very bittersweet

How sweet are Your words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 119:103

 

“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat what you find here. Eat this scroll, then go and speak to the house of Israel.” / So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll. / “Son of man,” He said to me, “eat and fill your stomach with this scroll I am giving you.” So I ate, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. Ezekiel 3:1-3

And he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.” v11

This is setting the stage for the 2 Witnesses that we will see later in Revelation. They will preach the Truth to the entire world! But also us, since we are digesting the prophecy here in Revelation, we need to witness to the entire world before its too late!

But you, Daniel, shut up these words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will roam to and fro, and knowledge will increase.” Daniel 12:4

Son Of Man

Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you.” John 9:37

Jesus cured the blind man, and rather than the Religious Leaders accept him, they false accused him of blasphemy. Why is this? Because the Religious Leaders love their religion. They love their manmade positions and doctrines more than they love God

Jesus asked the blind man, Do you believe in the Son of Man? The blind man asked who is the Son of Man? Jesus clearly revealed he is the Son of Man! The one who opens the eyes of the blind. To Gentiles the Son of Man title doesn’t mean much, but to the Jewish people they knew exactly what Jesus was talking about

“I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. Daniel 7:13

Daniel prophesied about the Son of Man, The Messiah, God in the Flesh. All the Jewish people clearly understood this prophecy, the understood this title of Son of Man. Jesus clearly identifies himself as the Son of Man

And he said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped Him John 9:38

Notice the man understood who Jesus was saying who he was and worshipped him! Would Jesus allow someone to worship him if he wasn’t God? Absolutely Not, However Jesus is the Son of Man, God in the Flesh (John 1:14), therefor he is worthy of all praise Amen!
