HOW CATHOLICS, PROTESTANTS AND MOST OF THEIR ESTIMATED 50,000 DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS ABUSE BIBLE VERSES TO ‘ALIGN’ THE TRINITY DOGMA WITH SCRIPTURE
On this page: · LITERAL AND SCRIPTURAL PROOF THAT NO ONE ELSE BUT JESUS IS THE CHRIST OR “MESSIAH” · Clergies mutilate specific verses to ‘validate’ their binitarianism, (two-‘gods’) and trinitarian, (three ‘gods’) religions · Here follows the analysis of some verses that demonstrate the power of God’s contextual Truth · 1 John. 5:4-13 is NOT ‘proof’ that “three separate divine persons are one ‘god’ through agreement!” · Trinitarians: “Jesus does not have and spirit body like the father so he cannot be the father” · Jesus Christ always prayed to and referred to His Father in His humanity as examples to His disciples On a different page: With all the 50,000 different denominations, how can anyone know for sure Who is the True God? On a different page: Authentic Scriptural truth that crushes each and every false interpretation of God On a different page: The actual GODHEAD OR DIVINE NATURE of Bible Scripture is the Only Genuine God
PLEASE SERIOUSLY NOTE: IT IS NOT ‘ANTICHRIST’ TO “TEST AND PROVE” ALL doctrine, spiritual manifestations, and other things, “to see if they are from God.” It is a staunch Scriptural commandment, because many false [preachers/teachers] have gone out into the world...” (1 Ths. 5:21-22; 1 Jn. 4:1-4!) ► “Docetism” means Jesus was supposedly a mere human being. “Incarnation” means God became a man: Jesus Christ, Who is 100% the ONE AND ONLY, INSEPARABLE God of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in the 100% body of a man. ► Acts 17:30-31, “The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He appointed A DAY on which “He will judge the world in the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ.’” ► Isaiah 45:5-19, God Himself proclaimed, “I AM THE LORD AND THERE IS NO ONE ELSE; THERE IS NO GOD BESIDES ME… I made the earth and created man upon it. I, with My hands, stretched out the heavens, and I command all their host.” ► There cannot be any other ‘gods’ — no matter how many nonexistent so-called “gods” humanity worship. ——————————————— CLERGIES MUTILATE SPECIFIC VERSES TO ‘VALIDATE’ BINITARIANISM [TWO ‘GODS’] AND TRINITARIAN [THREE ‘GODS’] RELIGIONS As seen, the perception that Jesus is a ‘smaller,’ ‘less important,’ ‘weaker’ and ‘lesser god’ than the Father; (even a creature of God such as an angel,) is universal in most of the estimated 50,000 denominations or divisions of catholicism, protestantism, and their branches. Those thousands upon thousands of clergies further invented their own dogmas to steer their different denominations and the ‘gods’ they chose to control them. How did they do it? ► To establish their fallacies, clergies simply mutilated the meaning of the targeted Bible verses to insert their dogmas, and even made up their own ‘bibles’ to suit them. ► But studying those verses and passages in context always reveals God’s Truth. For instance, in some form or another, christianity always interprets Jesus words, “My Father is greater than I,” as the ‘great’ father and ‘minor’ son; to account for their “different divine people” in “one” through “agreement.” ► But it is absurd to NOT understand that ‘two’ or ‘three’ so-called ‘different non–divine persons,’ (ONLY The True God IS The Divine,) are supposedly NOT SEPARATE ‘gods,’ (there are no such thing as other ‘gods,’ as The ONE GOD Himself proclaimed in Isaiah 45:5-19!) And as said, (and which will be proven in depth on this page,) different persons, so-called ‘god’s’ or whatever else cannot ever become ‘one being through agreement or co-habitation!’
HERE IS THE ANALYSIS OF SOME DOGMAS TO DEMONSTRATE THE POWER OF GOD’S CONTEXTUAL TRUTH ► The true meaning of “My Father is greater than I” is NOT trinitarianism; (three ‘gods’) or binitarianism, (two ‘gods.’) In John 10:28-30 Jesus stated, “No one will snatch [genuine disciples] out of My hand... MY FATHER, [Who entrusted] them to Me IS GREATER THAN I. [Neither evil people, Satan, nor his demons] ARE ABLE… [as] I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE.” ► ABOVE, JESUS STATED HE WAS STILL IN HIS HUMANITY OR EARTH; BUT IN HIS DIVINITY HE HAS ALL THE FATHER’S AUTHORITY. John 14:28-31, similarly reads, “...I am going away [to heaven] and coming back to you, [on the clouds at My return...] If you love Me you [will] rejoice... FOR MY FATHER IS GREATER THAN I… [and He is in control of My humanity.] I will no longer talk much with you, [in My humanity,] for the ruler of this world is coming, [Satan and the crucifixion,] but he has nothing on Me...” ► THE ABOVE IS NOT ABOUT LITERAL GREATNESS. Bible Commentary: “[This is about] losing Jesus’ physical presence through His death, which necessitate salvation and readiness for His return.” NO TRINITARIANISM OR BINITARIANISM CAN BE FOUND HERE! John 16:5-15: Here it seems as if the “separate” Holy Spirit is more important than Jesus as He declared, “IF I DO NOT GO AWAY THE HELPER WILL NOT COME TO YOU..” But the sheer context reveals the opposite. It reads: “I tell you this so you will remember it. I now go away to Him Who sent Me.” This does NOT signify a ‘separate Father, Holy Spirit, or ‘LESSER SON.’ “It is to your advantage because The Holy Spirit will not come to you until I depart [to heaven after death and resurrection.] For The Spirit will convict… of sin, righteousness, and judgement… and glorify ME … [By declaring all Truth to His disciples…”] ► THE ABOVE PLAINLY REFERS TO CHRIST’S FULL BLOOD ATONEMENT AND THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AT PENTECOST. John 14:7-11, Still, trinitarians also claim, “Jesus was speaking about ‘being in agreement with the Father” when Philip asked Him to show them the Father, as Jesus and the Father are “two distinctly different divine persons,” [or ‘gods;’ because NO other ‘gods’ but the One and Only GODHEAD of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit exist!] (Isa. 45:5-19!!! Jn. 14:7-11.) ► THE ABOVE SUBSTITUTES “SHOW US THE FATHER” WITH “BEING IN AGREEMENT WITH THE FATHER,” so trinitarians can corrupt Jesus’ inarguable declaration that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit IS SEPARATELY “ONE GOD! (John 14:7-11!) ► There is absolutely nothing about ‘separate ‘divine’ persons’ or ‘agreement’ in these passages; it is all about “THE UNDIVIDABLE ONE GOD” reality. In Jesus’ own words, it is about “seeing the Father” in Jesus His incarnated Son, and understanding that God is One, Undividable God. Jesus asked, “…Do you not believe that I Am IN the Father and the Father IN Me? ...The Father Who dwells IN [My human body, Colossians 2:9,] does the works. Believe Me that I Am in the Father and the Father in Me… [for We are ONE GOD.]” (Jn. 14:7-11.)
1 JOHN 5:6-13 IS NOT ‘PROOF’ OF “THREE SEPARATE ‘DIVINE’ PERSONS ARE ONE GOD THROUGH AGREEMENT!” ►► HERE FOLLOWS THE ULTIMATE PROOF THAT CLERGIES DELIBERATELY CHANGED THE WORDING OF VERSES AND HOW THOSE CORRUPTED VERSES DO NOT FIT INTO THE CONTEXT OF THIS PASSAGE. This passage is the final nail in the coffin of the ‘trinity.’ THE TRUTH IN 1 JOHN 5:6-13 IS CLEARLY NOT ABOUT “AGREEMENT” BUT ABOUT A TWO-FOLD “TESTIMONY” [or proof of evidence;] ONE IN HEAVEN AND THE OTHER ON EARTH. SO DO NOT MISS THE VITAL CONCLUSION IN VERSE 13! ► BY SWITCHING THE WORD AND CONCEPT of “TESTIMONY” OR “WITNESS” WITH “AGREEMENT,” clergies practiced pure witchcraft to make believers “disobey God’s Real Truth,” (Gal. 3:1 KJV!) Father, Son, and Holy Spirit IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE INSEPARABLE ONE GOD, and so HE IS TOTALLY SINGLE-MINDED; otherwise HE would NOT be the all-knowing GOD that HE IS! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ► CONSEQUENTLY, THE ‘AGREEMENT’ THAT TRINITARIANS TEACH IS FAR REMOVED FROM THE TRUTH OF THE TWO TESTIMONIES [witnesses or proof of evidence] IN THIS PASSAGE. Besides the fact that NO ‘agreement’ can fuse three separate so-called ‘divine persons’ OR ANYONE ELSE into ‘one god,’ TRINITARIANISM IS NOT WHAT THIS PASSAGE IS ABOUT!” ►► THE CONTEXT OF THIS PASSAGE IS FULLY ABOUT AN UNDIVIDABLE TESTIMONY, [witness or proof of evidence] CONCERNING LIFE ON EARTH AND ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN, (1 Jn. 3:16-18.) ►► THIS PASSAGE IS ABOUT GOD HIMSELF BEARING WITNESS OR TESTIFYING TO THE WAY IN WHICH BELIEVERS MUST BE SAVED ON EARTH TO GO TO HEAVEN, (Jn. 1:12-13.)
1 John 5:4-5 LAY THE IMMOVABLE FOUNDATION OR CONTEXT OF THIS PASSAGE. It is written, “Whoever is [spiritually] BORN OF GOD OVERCOMES THE WORLD, (John 1:12-13; 3:3-6.) And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who [genuinely and steadfastly] believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” ► HERE FOLLOWS THE TESTIMONY ABOUT THE WAY HUMANS MUST BE SAVED — OR “OVERCOME THE WORLD:” 1 John 5:6, “THIS IS HE WHO CAME BY WATER, [the Genuine Truth of God’s Word, (John 4:21-24; 1:1-3,) and BLOOD — JESUS CHRIST [AND HIS FULL ATONEMENT FOR ALL SINCERE BELIEVERS.] AND IT IS THE SPIRIT (GOD HIMSELF) WHO BEARS WITNESS [of how to be saved,] AS THE SPIRIT IS TRUTH, [Jesus Christ Himself,]” (Jn. 4:21-24! Rom. 8:9-11! Eph. 1:7;12-14!)
►►► 1 John 5:7, “THERE ARE THREE BEARING WITNESS IN HEAVEN, [as to why man can spend eternal life in God’s presence;] the Father, Word [or Son] and Holy Spirit, AND THESE THREE [evidences] ARE ONE.” [THIS IS NOT ‘THREE SEPARATE ‘GODS’ IN AGREEMENT” BUT THE ETERNAL VERDICT, WHICH IS ONE UNDIVIDABLE TRUTH!] ► IT MEANS, THE ONLY ONE GOD WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITNESSES OR CONFIRMS ALL NECESSARY PROOF OF HOW THE “WATER” OR TRUE WORD, (CHRIST HIMSELF) AND HIS COMPLETE “BLOOD” ATONEMENT, CREATE MAN’S ONLY SALVATION! ► IT IS CLEAR THAT THESE “TESTIMONIES/WITNESSES” HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SO-CALLED TRINITARIAN “AGREEMENT.” ►►► 1 John 5:8 PUTS TRINITARIANS COMPLETELY IN THEIR PLACE. IT COMPLETELY VERIFIES THE MEANING OF THIS PASSAGE; STATING THAT ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN IS ONLY POSSIBLE BECAUSE “THERE ARE THREE THAT BEAR WITNESS ON EARTH; [or testify to eternal salvation for believers who still live on earth,] THE SPIRIT, THE WATER, AND THE BLOOD!!! AND THESE THREE [‘components’ of evidence-based salvation] AGREE AS ONE [or show undoubtedly that Jesus is the ONLY Way to spiritual life on earth and eternal life in heaven!]” (John 14:5-11.) 1 John 5:9, “[For] if we receive the WITNESS OF MEN, [or believe false dogmas] THE WITNESS OF GOD IS GREATER BECAUSE THIS IS THE WITNESS [evidence] OF GOD, WHO HAS TESTIFIED OF HIS SON; [the Only Christ and Savior!!!]” 1 John 5:10, “He who believes in the Son of God HAS THE WITNESS IN HIMSELF [of how God saves.] He who does not believe GOD HAS MADE HIM A LIAR, because he has not believed the TESTIMONY [or evidence] that GOD HAS GIVEN OF HIS SON. 1 John 5:11, “AND THIS IS THE TESTIMONY [or evidence] that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.” 1 John 5:12, “He who has the Son has life. He who does not have the Son of God does NOT have life.” [Mt. 28:18-20.] THE CRUCIAL CONCLUSION: 1 John 5:13, “These things I have written to those who believe in the Name of the Son of God, that you may KNOW that you have eternal life, and that you may CONTINUE TO BELIEVE in the Name of [Jesus Christ!]”
TRINITARIANS: “JESUS DOES NOT HAVE A SPIRIT BODY LIKE THE FATHER SO HE CANNOT BE THE FATHER” ► Still, trinitarian Catholics and Protestants say “Jesus is not the father but is deity, [He is supernatural like an angel but not The Divine God.] Jesus cannot be the father because He has a [separate] physical body, not a spirit-body as the Father. [This is dividing the son totally from the father.] That’s why He said, ‘Feel and handle Me… a spirit does not have flesh and bones…’” If anything, this ridiculous statement declares that their father and son are different ‘gods,’ which is impossible. ► Scriptural and historical fact is that Jesus was risen from the grave and ascended on high in a real, tangible, but glorified body, (Col. 2:9!) Consequently, after His death and resurrection, Jesus said that a spirit does not have flesh and bones like He has. After His resurrection, His glorified body is absolutely foreign to the frail, physical, earth-bound, human body, which He inhabited before His death and resurrection, (1 Cor. 15:35-55.) ► In Jesus’ resurrected, glorified but tangible human body, for the first time in all of history, a human being could literally “appear [and disappear] while the doors were shut,” as only a spirit could have done! This was because Jesus, through His atonement on the cross, destroyed the great rift between fallen humanity and God. In Eden, Adam and Eve, being undying, physical beings, were in sinless union with God. But through disobedience, undying humanity fell into a state of sin and separation from God; which caused their spiritual “death” or the ‘comatosing’ of their human spirits, as well as physical death, (1 Ths. 5:23; Rom. 5:12!) So to be saved believers must be spiritually “born again” through Jesus’ full atonement, (Jn. 1:12-13; 3:3-7!) ► Jesus, through His LITERAL, BODILY resurrection, eternally fused the spiritual and temporal worlds together by blending physical and spiritual matter in His glorified, ever-living, human body! (Col. 2:9; Jn. 20:26-29!) This is the kind of glorified body into which truly spiritually born again believers will also be changed if they are still alive, or when they are resurrected from the grave when Jesus returns from heaven with the shout OF an archangel, (not “as” an archangel,) but as Who He really Is: The Divine, The Godhead, The Almighty God of heaven and earth! - (1 Cor. 15:35-55; 1 Ths. 4:9-18; Rev. 1:7-8; 4:8.)
JESUS CHRIST PRAYED AND REFERRED TO HIS FATHER IN HIS HUMANITY AS EXAMPLES TO HIS DISCIPLES In the Lord Jesus’ teachings and examples to believers, (1 Peter 2:21; John 13:15 KJV,) He did NOT suggest that He is NOT Almighty God Himself, (Revelation 1:-8; 4:8;) or that He is NOT as great as the Father. Rather, He proved all the time that He, (God Himself, Hebrews 1:1-14,) was in the body or “flesh” of a mere man during His time on earth. Under all circumstances He was Jesus the human being living and speaking normally. Only on a physical level as a mere human being, (as He always remained the ever-present God Himself,) Jesus Christ was in a position that is ‘lower’ than that of the supernatural angels and of the One and Only God, The Divine, (Heb. 2:9.) Nevertheless, as a mere man, Jesus never sinned and therefore could be the full, flawless, eternal sacrifice in our place on Golgotha, (Jn. 3:16 1:29, KJV.) ► That is why Philippians 2:5-8 commands, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, being in the [human] form of God, did not consider it robbery to be EQUAL with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bond-servant, and coming [to earth] in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a [mere] man, Jesus humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of... death of the cross… so that in the Name of Jesus every knee should bow of those in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.” Commentary, “‘Form of God’ references His Divine Essence; an unchangeable quality. ‘Coming in men’s likeness’ refers to His existence on earth. Jesus willingly relinquished His position as God when He came to earth as a complete human being, while still [fully] retaining His Divinity.” ► But before His death, resurrection, and ascension in a glorified body, The Lord Jesus Christ was so perfectly human while living on earth, He also had to learn to talk, walk — and obey the Father, just like every other human being, (Heb. 5:8.) Although He was fully God all the time, in His full humanity, He sweat blood in Gethsemane, cried at the tomb of Lazarus, and so on. God really became a complete human being while remaining the omnipresent or ever-present God at the same time. Therefore, Jesus’ entire physical life and all His actions were to redeem, save, and bless all those who chose to become His born again disciples. And of course, He was The Faultless Example to His spiritual, holy temple of believers, whom He would constantly indwell since Pentecost “until the end of the world, (1 Cor. 3:16-17; 1 Jn. 2:20; Mt. 28:8-20.) Romans 8:8-11 inarguably STATE, “...THE SPIRIT OF GOD [the Father] DWELLS IN YOU. IF ANYONE DOES NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NOT HIS. AND IF CHRIST IS IN YOU... THE SPIRIT IS LIFE BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. IF THE SPIRIT OF HIM WHO RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD, [the Father,] DWELLS IN YOU, HE WILL ALSO GIVE LIFE TO YOUR MORTAL BODIES THROUGH HIS SPIRIT WHO DWELLS IN YOU.”
SCRIPTURAL AND LITERAL PROOF THAT JESUS IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE ONLY CHRIST OR “MESSIAH” Jesus is the Name above all Names; the Greek NOT Hebrew Name of the global, eternal New Testament/Covenant Christ — not merely ‘a christ’ for the Jews to please them, but “THE LIGHT OF THE [WHOLE] WORLD” — The Christ of EVERY true believer worldwide who sincerely believes in Him, fully accepts Him, and obediently follows Him, (Jn. 3:16-21; 1:1-14; 3:3-18; 8:12!) ► Where is the ‘other Jewish christ’ or “messiah” who can be called, “The Bread from Heaven,” “Living Water,” “The Word of God,” “The Creator [of the universe,]” “The [Only] Way, The Truth, and The Life;” The Redeemer and Savior Who suffered, died, and was resurrected from the grave for the sin of all fallen humanity, who would genuinely believe in Him? ► Everything about the Lord Jesus Christ was Scripturally and historically recorded and eternally bound in the real context of Bible Scripture, (Mt. 24:25.) From His miraculous conception as the Only Begotten (not created) God, Who came in the flesh or body of a man to atone for all humanity’s sin on their level, (Matthew 1:21-23,) to His omnipotent or almighty ministry of healing, redemption, salvation, and blessing, etcetera, (Matthew 5:17-20; John 19:28-30; Isa. 7:14; 9:6; 53:3-12! Heb. 1:1-14!) ► Because Jesus Christ established His everlasting, spiritual, New Covenant at the cross, (John 18:36; Hebrews 8:7,13,) for every true believer on earth, (not just for believing Jews,) THE NEW TESTAMENT WAS WRITTEN IN GREEK NOT IN HEBREW So, everyone who substitutes the Name of Jesus in favor of the manufactured names of a so-called Jewish ‘christ,’ whom they are still waiting for, is in the claws of the antichrist in the from of Messianic and other Judaism, (Jn. 1:1-14; 1 Jn. 5:18-19!) ►► The Hebrew Scriptures, (the Tanakh or Old Testament in the Bible,) prove undoubtedly that Jesus is the Only Incarnated Man, (100% God and 100% human,) Who could fulfill ALL the requirements of the Old Testament Covenant Law as well as ALL THE OLD TESTAMENT PROPHESIES concerning The Christ, to establish His eternal New Testament Covenant as The Christ or “Messiah.” The Lord Jesus Christ accomplished all of the above throughout His human life and at His death on the cross, through His resurrection from the grave, and ascension into heaven. (John 1:1-14; Matthew 5:17-20.; 1:21-23.) ► Isaiah 7:14; 9:6 prophesied Jesus’ humanity and DIVINITY. It reads, “The Lord Himself will give you a Sign. Behold, the virgin will [miraculously] conceive and bear a Son, and will call His Name Immanuel, [The Ever-present “God With Us…”] For unto us a Child is born. Unto us a [begotten] Son [of God] is given. And the government [or universal reign] is upon His shoulder, [manifested in Matthew 1:21-23; 28:18-20.] And His Name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Almighty God, [see this Truth in Revelation 1:8; 4:8; 15:3; 16:5-7; 19:6,15,] Everlasting Father, and King [not ‘prince’] of Peace,” (Colossians 1:16-17!!!)
HERE ARE ONLY A FEW VERSES THAT LEAVE NO DOUBT JESUS IS THE ONE AND ONLY CHRIST OR “MESSIAH” Both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible fully describes Jesus THE Christ of the New Testament Covenant, Who literally fulfilled all these Hebrew Scriptures in detail. Psalm 2:7; 12-13, “I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, You are My son, Today I have begotten You… Kiss the Son… Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.” Proverbs 30:4 continued, “Who has ascended into heaven? [Jesus, in Whom the fullness of The Godhead dwells bodily: Colossians 2:9.] Or descended? [Jesus, the Living Bread from heaven: John 6:51.] Who has gathered the winds in His fists… Bound the waters in a garment… Established all the ends of the earth? What is His Name, and what is His Son’s Name if you know?” His Name is Jesus, the eternal Name above all names! “There is no salvation in any other Name, for there is no other Name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved,” (Acts 4:12; Philippians 2:9-11.) Isaiah 7:14, Jesus’ virgin birth, “The Lord Himself will give you a sign… The virgin will conceive and bear a Son named Immanuel…” Fulfilled in Matthew 1:21-23, “...And you must name Him Jesus and Immanuel.” Daniel. 3:25, “[The fourth Man in the fire with Daniel’s friends was Jesus.] His form is like the Son of God.” Isaiah 63:7-15 describe The ONE Godhead of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, “[Revealing Himself to His people, God Jesus said,] “Before Abram was, I Am: John 8:58,”) He became their Savior… in all their affliction He was afflicted… (Isaiah 63:10.) But they rebelled, [rejected Him as Savior, John 1:10-14,] and grieved His Holy Spirit...” Psalm 51:10-11, “Renew in me a clean heart and do not take Your Spirit from me…” Fulfilled in Hebrew 10:19-20, “Having boldness to enter the holiest by the blood [atonement] of Jesus… let Your Holy Spirit dwell in us,] (Eph. 1:7; Rom. 8:9-11!) Isa. 48:16-22 also describe the Scriptural Godhead of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, “The Lord God and His Spirit have sent Me. Thus says the Lord your Redeemer [Christ Jesus,] the Holy One of Israel: I Am the Lord your God…” (Rom. 1:20-21.) Isaiah 11:1 was literally fulfilled in Matthew 3:16-17, “There will come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse…” Jesus the Christ, born from the tribe of Judah, was born from the royal family of King David to bring eternal life to all His real believers. Micah 5:2-9, “[From] Judah will come forth... The One to be [the Spiritual] King in Israel…” Fulfilled in Jn. 18:36, when Jesus said to Pilate, “My [eternal] Kingdom is not from here. [It has no such origin or source.] If My Kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My Kingdom is not from here.” Isaiah 11:2, “[In His complete humanity,] The Spirit of the Lord will rest upon Him. He is the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord…” Fulfilled in Matthew 3:13-17, Jesus in His full humanity came up out of the water at His baptism, and was anointed and led by the Holy Spirit. Isaiah 32:9-15; 32:16, “[The Old Covenant God will withdraw Himself from the Israelites] “until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high… [after the cross and Pentecost, Hebrews 8:7,13; Acts 2:1-4; 16-21.]” There is a 400-year ‘gap’ between the Old and New Testament Covenants. After that, Jesus was born on earth, was immersed as an adult in water baptism as the example to all His true believers, [Matthew 3:13-17; 28:18-20,] and was tempted for 40 days, “so justice [could] dwell in the wilderness…” Genesis 14:18-20, Jesus is Old Testament Melchizedek, King of Salem; [Eternal High] Priest of the Most High God. Fulfilled in Heb. 7:1-17, Melchizedek is the Eternal New Testament Covenant High Priest according to the Divine Order of Melchizedek. Hosea 11:1 The flight to Egypt; “Out of Egypt I called My Son…” Fulfilled in Matthew 2:13-15, God warned Joseph in dream to flee with the Child because Herod the king murdered all the little boys to kill the Christ Who was born in Bethlehem. Isaiah 35:4-6, Jesus’ ministry of miracles, “...He will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind will be opened… the ears of the deaf will be unstopped… lame will leap… the tongue of the dumb will sing…” The New Testament overflows with this! Isaiah 52:14; 53:1-12, Jesus’ redemptive suffering, death, and burial — fully fulfilled in the New Testament. “...Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows… He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him. And by His stripes, we are healed. For the transgressions of My people, He was stricken, and they made His grave with the wicked - but with the rich at His death…” (Fulfilled, Mt. 27:57-60.) Psalm 22:1, Jesus’ last words to the Father: “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” - fulfilled in Matthew 27:46. Psalm 34:20, Not one of His bones were broken: Ps. 34:20, fulfilled in John 19:33. Zecheriah 12:10, His side was pierced while dying on the cross, fulfilled in Jn. 18:34. Amos 8:9, Darkness came over the earth when Jesus died, fulfilled in Matthew 27:45. Psalm 16:10, Jesus rose from the dead: He was not abandoned in Hades, [the grave not hell!] Fulfilled in the New Testament. Psalm 4:8; 68:18, Jesus ascended into heaven, “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive.... [triumphantly opened heaven for all true believers, who were lost and in bondage to darkness before that.]” Fulfilled in Ephesians 4:8.
