The Message

FA. Jesus Christ is a Spirit. The earthy image of Christ or the natural body of Christ [1 Cor 15:44] was earthly [1 Cor 15:53] and was created [Heb 11:10 - [ BY - BZ ].  FB. Moses also represented Christ when he led the people of Israel through the wilderness of the Red Sea [Exo 14]. The crossing of the red sea is a prophecy about the day of judgment. The wilderness is a parable name for this world [ BT ].  FC. We already know that Christ is the way, the truth, and the life [John 14:6]. He will make a way out of this world for His sheep. They will have eternal life while the goats will suffer eternal damnation [Matt 25:32-34, Exo 19:4 - 1 Thess 4:17, Isa 43:19].  FD. The biblical figures that represent Christ also include Samson, Eve, Adam, Saul, among others. Based on this knowledge, we should not be surprised that Samson was one of those praised alongside Samuel and Gedeon [Heb 11:32-34].  FE. The narrative about the death of Samson in Judges 16:25-30 is a prophecy...

GA. Rev 19:7 - Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready;  GB. Rev 21:9-10 - ...come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.  GC. It is called a supper because the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of Christ [Rom 8:9] is the bread of life [John 6:48] which also means that He is the resurrection and the life [John 6:51 - John 11:25]. We can solidify this knowledge if we consider another verse:  GD. Luke 11:11-13 - If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?...how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?  GE. Why is Luke 11:11-13 pertinent to our discussion? The scripture reveals that the Holy Spirit was not given at a point in time as referenced in John...

HA. Rom 8:11 - But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.  HB. To establish this point, we know that he that is born of the Spirit has overcome this world [1 John 5:4]. Angels are not bound [Isa 61:1 - …and the opening of the prison to them that are bound]. They also can’t die [Luke 20:36 - 1 Cor 15:26].  HC. We also know that he that is born of the Spirit does not commit sin [1 John 3:9]. Angels do not commit sin because they are not under the law. The absence of law is the absence of sin [Rom 4:15 - …for where no law is, there is no transgression].  HD. That’s the reason they are alive or quick [Rom 14:9 - For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living] while we that are in the flesh are dead in sins.  HE. Nevertheless, it is important to note that angels have boun...

IA. Isa 9:7 - Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.  IB. Rev 11:15 - …the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever; Matt 28:18 - And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth [Rom 14:9].  IC. It is also important to note that the reason why the Son of God or Son of the Highest [Luke 1:31-33] is God [Isa 9:6] or the Spirit is based on our understanding of the virgin birth, the resurrection or marriage supper - His spirit is the Holy Spirit.  ID. His name as the everlasting Father [Isa 9:6] is based on the fact that He has children - angels are His children [Luke 20:36]. We already know that He is the eternal Holy Spirit [ HW ].  I...

JA. Zech 4:11-14 - Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?... Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth;  JB. Mark 10:35-40 - ...they said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory… But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.  JC. It may be important to note that most of the figures or numbers in the scripture such as the thousand two hundred and threescore days referenced in Rev 11:3 are symbolic.  JD. Based on our discussion so far, we can understand that a prophet is an anointed or chosen one [Ps 105:15, Rev 11:3, Luke 23:35, Matt 12:18], so is Christ in some biblical contexts - Christ comes from a Greek word that means an anointed one.  JE. Based on this knowledge, the people ...

KA. Their names also include giants [Gen 6:4-5, Gen 13:13], wicked [Job 21:7, Job 20:5, Job 21:30], princes of this world [John 12:31, Eph 2:2], gods of this world [2 Cor 4:4], and children of disobedience [Eph 2:2].  KB. If we study the verses in JZ and KA , these names can be associated with people both inside and outside the physical church. They can also be found in positions of power [Job 21:7, Eph 6:12]. They can be renowned or influential people [Gen 6:4, *Jude 1:4] - giant denotes high, mighty, or renowned.  KC. How is this information relevant? For example, we know that fiery serpents bit the people of Israel to death [ ET - EX ]. We can see the fiery serpents and others as those that are blinding the minds of men from knowing the Truth:  KD. 2 Cor 4:4 - In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them;  KE. Matt 23:13 - But woe un...
