CHRIST DIED FOR YOU

"This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all." (1 John 1:5)

Oh that we could forget the darkness people remind us we have within - God is light and in Him is no darkness - this takes precedence - just for a bit let's ignore darkness in others and in ourselves and focus on the God of light in whom is no darkness at all.
CHRIST DIED FOR YOU
The Holy Spirit is never a liar and is always full of the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

He is the Word of God

Hebrews explains very nicely indeed why the Son of God is called the Word of God. Hebrews chapter 1 begins (American King James Version) "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, Has in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: Being made so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they."
He is the "express image of God" so not an inanimate image like a mountain reflected in a lake or a door reflected in a mirror - not an incidental reflection of God - not even a family likeness of God - but an image EXPRESSED by God - so like God spoke everything that Jesus is as a kind of autobiography of Himself - God expressed what He Himself is like by making His Son so much like Himself - yet human from the start and then eventually not just human or humanlike but real human flesh like us.

Earliest Scripture

The earliest scriptural writings we have I believe are in the Book of Enoch but it is preserved through the ages and retranslated over and over. Another writer of scripture-like writings around the time of Enoch was Cainan (the Book of Jasher records). The earliest ‘scriptures’ found actually surviving intact from when they were written come from the descendants of Enoch. The Instructions of Sharappak is the best example we have preserved as extant text and it starts: "In those days, in those far remote days, in those nights, in those faraway nights, in those years, in those far remote years, at that time the wise one who knew how to speak in elaborate words lived in the Land; Sharappak [biblical name Lamech], the wise one, who knew how to speak with elaborate words lived in the Land. Sharappak gave instructions to his son; Sharappak, the son of Ubara-Tutu [Methuselah] gave instructions to his son Zi-ud-sura [Noah]: My son, let me give you instructions: you should pay attention! Zi-ud-sura, let me speak a word to you: you should pay attention! ..." -- translation of the 'Instructions of Sharappak', 3rd Mill BC. http://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/section5/tr561.htm . * Note: Methuselah [Ubara-Tutu] was son of Enoch [En-men-dur-anki] who was son of Jared who was son of Mahalalel who was son of Kainan (a teacher of righteousness) who was son of Enos who was son of Seth who was son of Adam [Sumerian name Alulim] who was first king of Sumer and ruled from Eridu the first city, who had no earthly parents because he was created by God. We find these people listed in the Sumerian King List, another extant document from later after the Flood ( http://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/section2/tr211.htm ), and in Genesis and in the Book of Jasher too. The latter tells that Methuselah succeeded Enoch as king of Sumer and was last king before the Flood came in Noah's time. Noah was Methuselah's grandson and Noah's father Lamech did not become king: both Jasher and Sumerian King List agree on this. Jasher tells us that Lamech (Shurappak) did not follow God as closely as Enoch and Methuselah and Noah. Yet his 'Instructions of Sharappak' writings of proverbs for his son Noah are reminiscent of scriptural proverbs in Bible scripture.

Essential

It is essential to being free from mortal sin in this life to believe that not only is Jesus the Son of Man but He has precedence over time itself because He was before time began - hence He said "Before Abraham was born, I am". (See John 8)

Believe This

God was there before the things in the universe that work in time and form what we call time existed. It was in this arche - this beginning - when only the primary things - God and from God His Word, His Son, His Son of Man, existed - these were necessarily preceding all things because all things submit the the authority of what precedes them - arche - beginning. The Son is that arche (Rev 3:14) http://biblehub.com/text/revelation/3-14.htm and time itself owes homage to Him who preceded time: "Before Abraham was, I am" - His "I am" shows He is greater than time itself because He precedes time. Believe this and you will live. If not, if you never believe it you will die in your sins. (John 8)

A Likely Future

My reading of prophecies like Revelation 11 suggests to me Jerusalem decades from now could be as bad as Sodom - temple rebuilt in it - decadent - like Egypt meaning believers have very tough time there - High Priest using power wickedly - 'Wicked Priest' - 'Man of Lies' - 'Man of Lawlessness' - meanwhile 'Beast' empire world power rising - occupies Jerusalem to some extent (or agents are there or influence) - sheep are unfaithful because they do not sanctify God or the temple - sheep are blind (Enoch's dream) - possibly a sheep becomes warlike - Enoch's dream's 'ram' (dabela) - world tries to prevent it gaining power - two witmesses appear and prophesy frustrating things and bring God's judgments like Elijah did - people vexed - Beast agents kill the witnesses - world events cataclysmic as end approaching - witnesses resurrected and ascend - Wicked Priest frustrated by the witnesses ascending - all a sign of the coming demise of Wicked Priest and the Beast at the coming of Christ - terrible earthqiake splits Jerusalem into three - terrible judgments commence on Beast empire but it continues to rise - it instigates reign of oppression of believers - Second Beast rises - 666 not far away - tribulation times for believers but wicked dying constantly in apocalyptic plagues and judgments as God starts their massive scale removal - all could be by 2060 AD - leading up to return of Christ - ram sheep under great pressure but is saved as Christ returns - resurrection - Beast and Wicked Priest destroyed by word of Christ at His return - start of a thousand years of judgments by Christ on whole earth - all happening probably by 2200 AD.

Powers of the Coming Age

Tasting the powers of the coming age:

"It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace." (Hebrews 6:4-6)

The ability to command nature - storms that are stilled, wild animals that obey, speaking with tongues of angels, justice and victory in governing, judging like Samson of old, heard alwaya by God, working alongside angels - all these "powers of the coming age" can be tasted now - but we must forever live up to it once we receive the foretaste.

The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God

"The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God"
http://biblehub.com/revelation/3-14.htm

The Apostle John knew and believed that Jesus pre-existed before all things and that is why Jesus is over all things. He received this from John the Baptist and the Holy Spirit. In his gospel he wrote: 'John testified about him when he shouted to the crowds, "This is the one I was talking about when I said, 'Someone is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.'"'

The 'beginning' of God's creation is the 'ruler' of God's creation.

Strongs 746 http://biblehub.com/greek/746.htm

746 arxḗ – properly, from the beginning (temporal sense), i.e. "the initial (starting) point"; (figuratively) what comes first and therefore is chief (foremost), i.e. has the priority because ahead of the rest ("preeminent").

The Noah's Ark Flood

The Flood: Global or local? What does the Book of Enoch say?

Book of Enoch Chapter 89

And one of those four went to othat white bull and instructed him in a secret, without his being terrified: he was born a bull and became a man, and built for himself a great vessel and dwelt thereon; and three bulls dwelt with him in that vessel and they were covered in. And again I raised mine eyes towards heaven and saw a lofty roof, with seven water torrents thereon, and those torrents flowed with much water into an enclosure. And I saw again, and behold fountains were opened on the surface of that great enclosure, and that water began to swell and rise upon the surface, and I saw that enclosure till all its surface was covered with water. And the water, the darkness, and mist increased upon it; and as I looked at the height of that water, that water had risen above the height of that enclosure, and was streaming over that enclosure, and it stood upon the earth. And all the cattle of that enclosure were gathered together until I saw how they sank and were swallowed up and perished in that water. But that vessel floated on the water, while all the oxen and elephants and camels and asses sank to the bottom with all the animals, so that I could no longer see them, and they were not able to escape, (but) perished and sank into the depths. And again I saw in the vision till those water torrents were removed from that high roof, and the chasms of the earth were levelled up and other abysses were opened. Then the water began to run down into these, till the earth became visible; but that vessel settled on the earth, and the darkness retired and light appeared. But that white bull which had become a man came out of that vessel, and the three bulls with him, and one of those three was white like that bull, and one of them was red as blood, and one black: and that white bull departed from them.

"... And all the cattle of that enclosure were gathered together until I saw how they sank and were swallowed up and perished in that water. ..,"

If this is translated coreectly, and it is unlikely a dream like this would be distorted, then the obvious meaning,  given by very momentous prophetic foretelling to Enoch, is that all humans were within the bounds of an area surrounded by higher ground that kept in the flood waters until that high ground itself overflowed to the surrounding land. Looking at Sumer and its cities (apart from Shush - Susa) they were in a flood plain surrounded by higher ground. So only this flood plain needed to be flooded to kill them. Others had been killed already in surrounding areas before this flood.

"And again I raised mine eyes towards heaven and saw a lofty roof, with seven water torrents thereon, and those torrents flowed with much water into an enclosure. And I saw again, and behold fountains were opened on the surface of that great enclosure, and that water began to swell and rise upon the surface, and I saw that enclosure till all its surface was covered with water. And the water, the darkness, and mist increased upon it; and as I looked at the height of that water, that water had risen above the height of that enclosure, and was streaming over that enclosure, and it stood upon the earth."

So the water rose over the height of mountains or higher ground surrounding the plains of Iraq (Sumer) until it flowed beyond those mountains and hills and "stood upon the Earth". Ararat is where the ark settled but that is not necessarily the modern Mount Ararat but maybe the Mountains of Armenia and East of there in Iran the Zagros mountains "East of Shinar". So at least the Flood reached this far so the basin ("enclosure") it filled might be Zagros Mountains in East and Armenian Mountains in North and Palestine Hills in West and Saudi Arabia mountains in South. Then over all these mountains to beyond them a tsunami might have gushed to hit Susa in Iran and Egypt and Africa and Turkey and Georgia and Russia. So this wide area would have been rendered devoid of animal life by the greatest tsunami in human history. So to repopulate it the animals of the ark could be let disperse again and humans gradually follow after their scattering following the confusing of languages of Babel. But not necessarily global. Historic and true though. Just not fanciful.

Build the Temple

After earnest prayer one day in 1994 I suddenly got a vision of a building sand bucket being tipped out and the words "Build the temple!". I asked for confirmation three-fold and went to a church that evening where three girls in sunday school sang a song they wrote "build build build the temple; build build build the temple" then two speakers in turn spoke about building the temple - one about David being told his son would do it and David was gobsmacked and said to God "What am I and what is my family that You would give me this honor!". 

Who do people say the Holy Spirit is?

Some think and say that the Holy Spirit is the sum of certain qualities of God the Father and some that He is the spirit of Jesus but to me the Holy Spirit comes as a person distinct from God the Father (indeed like water flowing from God's throne) - once He gave me a vision message that changed my life and another time years later He (almost but not quite audibly) literally whispered in my ear the answer to a question I was pondering (using a wise way to prove He was not my imagination) - this was not God the Father visiting me personally. There is obvious logic which says He is like a many branching stream and agent of God - just consider millions of churches around the world where visitation by the Holy Spirit is experienced frequently in meetings - think of just one Sunday (or Saturday, Sabbath) and at any time thousands or millions might be experiencing His visitation manifested in gifts of the Spirit - these visitations are from the kind of person who can be in many places at once - saying different things through different people - while God is maybe at that moment seated on His throne in glory.

Enoch's Writings in Sumerian Times

Scholars and archaeologists study cuneiform writings from the time of Enoch and often unintentional verification details in The Book of Enoch improves as more and more cuneiform is analysed and studied and more digs take place and further libraries and other artefacts are discovered. Actual extant texts from just centuries after the time of Enoch do exist. The Instructions of Shurappak is a surviving extant text translating earlier texts or oral traditions actually dating from Enoch's time and his son and grandson's time when his great grandson was growing up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_of_Shuruppak .

How did these Sumerian texts found today as parts of the Book of Enoch and Instructions of Sharappak survive the Flood around 2200 BC so that after it around 2100 to 2000 BC scribes were writing copies of some of it? The Instructions of Sharappak presumably survived because they were proverbs given by Noah's father to Noah. It seems Noah might have either passed them on in oral form or in written form to those who later made them into the texts of which we have two actual surviving copies today. If this happened to the Instructions of Sharappak then it seems plausible the same could have happened to the writings we have passed down and translated over and over in the Book of Enoch (found too among the Dead Sea Scrolls).

The Sixth Seal

Revelation chapter 6:
"I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, 'Come!'"
...
"I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place."
What is a seal? A document sealed is one that cannot open until the breaking of the seal. The things sealed are things NOT allowed to happen in any circumstance until an appointed time. Only one person could open that Rev set of seals so nobody else could bring about those kinds of events spoken of in the sealed document, and the one worthy only opens it in God's time. So the events can never be allowed to happen until the seal is broken. There is a saying "So and so will stop at nothing if ..." but God does not behave as one who will stop at nothing - He stops from allowing the kinds of events like the Revelation 6 sixth seal but eventually even those events will be allowed. I think soon this sixth seal will be broken by Lord Jesus if it hasn't be broken by Him already. This does not mean immediately the apocalyptic events will happen, in my understanding, but that once that seal is broken they are no longer ruled out - and eventually (Revelation chapter 16 shows) they will happen.
So once that sixth seal is broken by Jesus Christ a whole load of things are suddenly on that table that were kept off it before.

Emanuel

What does Emanuel mean? What does "God is with us" mean? How is its meaning to be applied to the coming of Jesus? It means by the work of Jesus God would dwell with those who love Jesus and keep and obey His teachings and Jesus too dwells with them. John 14: 23-24 'Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me."'

"Express image"

If people think Jesus is God Himself they lose the meaning of many verses including that great verse in Hebrews 1:3 that says the Son is the express image of God. If the Son is God then He is simply and vainly an image of Himself which makes that verse and the belief the verse expresses simply meaningless.

It is all in line with prevailing philosphies among the Greeks when the scriptures of John and the epistle to Hebrews were written, such as Plato's theory of forms ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_forms ) - we see the Moon and sometimes it is larger than other times but the Moon itself is neither changing in size nor changing much in distance away but rather a projected image of the Moon through the lens of the atmosphere is what really changes in size - so there is the physical Moon (its substance or 'physis') but also the 'form' which that 'physis' produces and the form is 'in' the physis. This kind of thinking must have prevailed in new testament scripture times because it is evident in how scripture writers described the relationship between Father and Son and also in later writings like Tertulian's. Yet it is the Holy Spirit really behind it all.

I think misunderatanding is often caused by wanting to interpret certain verses to fit with favoured dogmas rather than the other way around - there might be 1000 verses saying Jesus Son of God clearly then one or three that are opache but could be interpreted to suggest what demoniatuonal church dogma says but this is enough, fools think, to outweigh the 1000.

Why the fuss about all this? The fuss is because a person will die in their sins unless they realise properly who Jesus is and believe it and follow Him by holding to His sayings (John 8).

We all need setting free and taking it to heart that the Messiah actually did die for you and I encourages us that the God of Jesus must be able and willing to help.

You need to believe The Son of Man was alive and well before even Abraham was born. This is how you can also believe He will be alive and well forever so He can make you a child of God forever and intercede and bring you grace and truth to keep you that way. "I am He that lives and was dead and see I am alive forever," He says.

An Inspired Ancient Book

In 1995 I sought a church where the Holy Spirit was manifested with gifts of the Spirit. A local church and government leader told me to come with him to a church where I would certainly witness this. A man there spoke a message in tongues that sounded angelic and each sentence became English in my head. "Consider the trees how they put forth buds and leaves - they do this by the authority of the name of Lord Jesus Christ" was what I heard. Then the speaker himself said those very words in English. A little later I was in a bookshop and came across the Book of Enoch. I opened it and read:  [Enoch 5:1-4] "Observe how the trees cover themselves with green leaves and bear fruit: wherefore give heed and know with regard to all His works, and recognize how He that liveth for ever hath made them so. And all His works go on thus from year to year for ever, and all the tasks which they accomplish for Him, and their tasks change not, but according as God hath ordained so is it done. And behold how the sea and the rivers in like manner accomplish and change not their tasks from His commandments. But ye -- ye have not been steadfast, nor done the commandments of the Lord, But ye have turned away and spoken proud and hard words With your impure mouths against His greatness. Oh, ye hard-hearted, ye shall find no peace." It was clear this book had the same inspirer who inspired the interpretation of tongues earlier - the Holy Spirit.

Some Alive Today Might Never Die

By my reckoning it is plausible that some alive today could be among the ones who will be alive at the start of Christ's reign - see Enoch 91 http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/boe/boe097.htm , the tenth week is the last 700 years of the seven thousand years that started with Adam being made. The judgement of the living (by Christ) starts in the ninth week. The final judgment of dead and living by God starts not at the end of the tenth week (7000 AM) but in its seventh part (compare Enoch was born in the seventh part of the first week and his birth works out from other scripture to be around 650 AM) so that could be 6950 AM approximately. So from other scripture we get the time of judgment by Christ being a thousand years (which fits with starting in the ninth week) so it might start around 5950 AM which could be just decades or even less away. It also says in Revelation Satan will start a war at the end of the thousand year reign of Christ so that could mean it ends around 6940 AM and starts with the return of Christ a thousand years before that so around 5940 AM. So it is all the more plausible that people alive today could live to see it and those who believe and are alive to see would be caught up with Christ in the air and so never actually die.

How Jesus Alluded to Enoch

Jesus identified with the Son of Man in the prophecy of Enoch chapter 62, well read in Jesus' time. He clearly alludes to or quotes it when He speaks of people seeing the Son of Man sitting at God's right hand and coming in the clouds of heaven - paralleling "see the Son of Man sitting on the throne of His glory" in Enoch 62.
Enoch chapter 62

And thus the Lord commanded the kings and the mighty and the exalted, and those who dwell on the earth, and said: 'Open your eyes and lift up your horns if ye are able to recognize the Elect One.'

And the Lord of Spirits seated him on the throne of His glory,
And the spirit of righteousness was poured out upon him,
And the word of his mouth slays all the sinners,
And all the unrighteous are destroyed from before his face.
And there shall stand up in that day all the kings and the mighty,
And the exalted and those who hold the earth,
And they shall see and recognize How he sits on the throne of his glory,
And righteousness is judged before him,
And no lying word is spoken before him.

Then shall pain come upon them as on a woman in travail,
[And she has pain in bringing forth]
When her child enters the mouth of the womb,
And she has pain in bringing forth.

And one portion of them shall look on the other,
And they shall be terrified,
And they shall be downcast of countenance,
And pain shall seize them,
When they see that Son of Man Sitting on the throne of his glory.

And the kings and the mighty and all who possess the earth shall bless and glorify and extol him who rules over all, who was hidden.

For from the beginning the Son of Man was hidden,
And the Most High preserved him in the presence of His might,
And revealed him to the elect.

And the congregation of the elect and holy shall be sown,
And all the elect shall stand before him on that day.

And all the kings and the mighty and the exalted and those who rule the earth
Shall fall down before him on their faces,
And worship and set their hope upon that Son of Man,
And petition him and supplicate for mercy at his hands.

Nevertheless that Lord of Spirits will so press them
That they shall hastily go forth from His presence,
And their faces shall be filled with shame,
And the darkness grow deeper on their faces.
And He will deliver them to the angels for punishment,
To execute vengeance on them because they have oppressed His children and His elect
And they shall be a spectacle for the righteous and for His elect:
They shall rejoice over them,
Because the wrath of the Lord of Spirits resteth upon them,
And His sword is drunk with their blood.
And the righteous and elect shall be saved on that day,
And they shall never thenceforward see the face of the sinners and unrighteous.

And the Lord of Spirits will abide over them,
And with that Son of Man shall they eat
And lie down and rise up for ever and ever.

And the righteous and elect shall have risen from the earth,
And ceased to be of downcast countenance.

And they shall have been clothed with garments of glory,
And these shall be the garments of life from the Lord of Spirits:
And your garments shall not grow old,
Nor your glory pass away before the Lord of Spirits.

The Writer of Revelation Believed Jesus Pre-existed

Compare these two passages (and allow for translation differences but it is an obvious comparison even allowing for translations): Daniel 10v5-7 and Revelation 1v12-16. See the description of the Son of Man and see how John's description deliberately copies Daniel's and in the exact same order except the description of His 'face' which is at the end in John's description. (For the full passages see at bottom, below.)

* a man (translation of Son of Man?) / one like a Son of Man
* dressed in fine linen / a robe
* around waste - golden belt / golden sash
* face like lightning / sun shining
* eyes like flaming torches / blazing fire
* voice like the sound of multitude / rushing waters

Clearly John is saying something here.

Daniel 10v5-7 "I looked up and there before me was a man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist. His body was like topaz, his face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude. I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision; those who were with me did not see it, but such terror overwhelmed them that they fled and hid themselves."

Revelation 1v12-16 "I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance."

Glorification

Glorification is a mystery - how a human contemplating God's glory is glorified like Moses with a shining face and like the Son of Man with unfading glory seen by John in his Revelation vision - and such glory is passed on when such a person's glory is in turn contemplated "we who with unvelied faces contemplate the Lord's glory are being transformed into His likeness with ever increasing glory which comes from the Lord who is Spirit" wrote Paul. Yet we do not cease to be human. Neither is the glorified Son of Man any less a human being. 

Logos

The Word, I believe, was the spoken word of God by which the Son of Man was begotten by God as the Only-begotten Son of God. This Son of Man was the elect anointed one through whom the Father, God, made all things. Then after they made flesh and after many centuries the Son of Man, still that Word of God, became flesh. This is Jesus. Still though He is both Son of Man and Word of God and both Lord and Christ risen from the dead after the cross. He will always be this Son of Man and Word of God and always human - for us.

Black Holes

oOften in scripture it mentions God stretching out the heavens - and like when you stretch out fabric you pin it in place so it doesn't spring back. Maybe black holes are those pins.

Uncertain Future

We face an uncertain future - uncertain for us but not for God. The times are changing and the planet too. The prayer of Enoch as he prophetically saw ahead a great flood about to sweep civilisation is light for us to live by so we might escape what is coming. Enoch 83:6-8 (Enoch's prayer) "Now then, O God, Lord and mighty King, I entreat thee, and beseech thee to grant my prayer, that a posterity may be left to me on earth, and that the whole human race may not perish; that the earth may not be left destitute, and destruction take place for ever. O my Lord, let the race perish from off the earth which has offended thee, but a righteous and upright race establish for a posterity for ever. Hide not thy face, O Lord, from the prayer of thy servant."

John the Baptist believed Jesus Pre-existed

(John 1:29-31) 'The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.”'

John the Baptist believed Jesus his cousin pre-existed. John was concieved before Jesus was concieved yet he is on record saying Jesus existed before he did. So John the Baptist did not pre-exist before Jesus and neither did we. But Jesus did exist even before He, Jesus, was concieved: This is the testimony of John the Baptist.

All About Spirit

It is all about what comes from Spirit from God Himself and since it is only God Himself that existed before anything was created the very beginning of Jesus (before time) was only from God Himself and only by Spirit. The Son of Man was created and begotten only from Spirit and only from and by God Himself so He was entirely spirit since only spirit existed before all things were created. So He more than anyone is the Son of God. Then aeons later in our time and space in this created universe He was made again by being made flesh and again it was by God and by Spirit.

He is

"I am He that lives and was dead and behold I am alive forever"

When you see Jesus after His resurrection as described by John at the end of his gospel - Jesus standing plainly on the shore asking His disciples fishing if they caught anything then giving a sign it is Him by giving them a great catch - Jesus just stood there, risen, calm, victorious, work of the cross done and dusted - He just is - He is truly now simply "I am".

We can even experience Him like this today if we love Him and keep His words - He is the same. The Master.
