The Mystery Of Jesus Christ Continues – Are You Sure You Know Who Jesus Is?
The Mystery of Jesus Christ Continues – Are you sure you know who Jesus is?
Written by Joseph Ho, 15th April 2010
In my last article I wrote that Jesus is the Son of the Living God and God is his father. There are 2 separate beings and they are now both in heaven with Jesus seated at God’s right hand. And God has given Jesus all the authority and power to judge the earth when he comes again in his full glory and power, just as the Pharaoh had given power to Joseph to rule the whole of Egypt while he remained higher than Joseph.
Here, I would like again to present some puzzling fact as to who Jesus might truly be. Jesus spoke that before Abraham was, he was, meaning before Abraham was born he was already in existence. Many take this to mean Jesus was already in existence since he is God. But I will present you yet another fact which is clear that this might not be true. Why would Jesus say that before Abraham was he was, why not say before Adam was he was. Then Jesus said another startling fact about himself. He said the one who came from heaven is also the one who gone up to heaven.
We all know that there were only 3 men who were taken into heaven, Enoch, Elijah and Jesus. Moses died in the desert and the Arch Angel Michael had a dispute with Satan for the body of Moses, so Moses did not go up into heaven and we can leave him out of the equation.
Jude 1:9 (New International Version)
9But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
Genesis 5:23
Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years.
Genesis 5:24
Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.
When someone died, it was mentioned that they died, but for Enoch he was taken away by God and had not died.
God only mentioned 2 persons whom he is pleased with and one of them is Enoch, the other is Jesus. Enoch did not die, but was taken into heaven and he was commended as one who pleased God, just like Jesus had this commendation from God. So we know now there are 2 persons who have this honor since they are both alive. Then why is Jesus the only first born Son, because both Enoch and Elijah were born through human fathers, while Jesus was born of the Holy Spirit.
Hebrews 11:5
By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.
Just like Enoch was commended by God, so was Jesus.
2 Peter 1:17
For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
Luke 3:22
and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”
Why say the father and then the Son why not say God the father and God the son.
John 5:21
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.
Why say by myself I can do nothings, why say him who sent me, why not say I sent myself. There is clearly very evident that there are 2 entities one on earth while the other is in heaven.
John 5:30
By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
If he is God why does he need to please him and who is him?
John 8:29
The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”
Why is it important for me to write an article about this thing which will only bring reproach and accusation?
Surely what I am saying will be blasphemy. But this is the confidence I have in God, and Jesus Christ that the truth will be with me and in me and so I have no choice but to write the truth. Truth is not popular teachings, its truth. Why is the truth so difficult to accept, because truth is not common knowledge? Just like 1 billion people think that Mary is the Mother of God. So that makes Mary higher than God and many prayed to her rather than Jesus despite the fact that it is written that God gave his only begotten son to save the world. The Bible clearly says Jesus is the Messiah and not Mary yet many prayed to Mary for help. They even pray to Mary to get Jesus to help them, how strange is this?
Similarly when many preached that Jesus is God, and not Jesus is Lord, they hear it often enough that they forgot that Jesus is the Son of God. In whom God has placed all the authority and power to judge the earth when he comes in his full glory. When Jesus says me and father is one, it means one in accord and purpose. What God will do on earth, that he does, so that if you see what he does, you see what God does? Jesus is the proxy in behalf of the living God. Jesus could have healed everyone during his days on earth, yet he did not manage to heal them all. What prevented this healing? It was their faith, why so, because without faith it was impossible to please God. If Jesus was God he could have healed them with or without faith.
Again, we witness that Jesus asked his disciple who they think he is, and only Simon had the right answer, which is Son of the Living God and Jesus said it is true. Why not Jesus say I have revealed that to you instead of my father in heaven. Clearly and literally, God his Father is in heaven. Why Simon did not say you are God walking on Earth?
Matthew 16:13-17 (New International Version)
Peter’s Confession of Christ
13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15″But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.
Did Jesus ever said he is God In The Bible? He might have implied he is a king, but his kingdom is not of this world, it’s about truth. But he claims to be God’s Son which means he is a spiritual being with similar powers to God but not as equal to God. As I said many times that the name Jesus means Mighty God. That is why he was anointed with the powers of God for healing and setting the captives free as he had power to do so but only as God commanded him.
Since Jesus said no one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven which is him, yet Enoch and Elijah did the same thing, so is Enoch and Elijah also the same person Jesus called the Son of Man?
John 3:13
No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.
Notice when Jesus said something, he is always very precise. So who is this man who was before Abraham yet after Adam. I could only think of Enoch. And based on this statement that Jesus made, he must be Enoch.
Now this is truly confusing when you try to tie up all the statements and made some sense out of it. I am writing this to let you know that whatever you do by logic or inference it’s very hard to read the bible. These things which I have written here is to show you that you can not read the bible from an intellectual human mind, neither are the words written here making any sense.
Thus, I hold it true that the truth is only by revelation and no man can get any understanding without the Holy Spirit. When Jesus said unless you are born again (of the Holy Spirit) you can not enter the Kingdom of God.
John 3:3
In reply Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
John 3:11-13 (New International Version)
11I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.
Mark 12:29
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
It says the Lord is one not three according to the words of Jesus Christ. And to top this up, Jesus is God as his name means Mighty God undeniably, but the man who was given this name is the Son of God and God his father is the Ancient of days.
And if you want to know more about the truth come to my website at KingScepter or send me an email at prophet3333@yahoo.com and learn to hear from God directly. God bless you all while you chew and digest my words.
