UNDERSTANDING THE GLORY OF GOD

 One of the most misunderstood tenets of the Bible is the Father/Son relationship between Yahweh and Yehoshua (“Jesus” in the Hebrew). Yehoshua is the Name of God whereas Yahweh is the phonetic form of JHWH — the Tetragrammaton — the four letter Theogram in the Hebrew alphabet (יהוה). Reading from right to left, those characters mean “I AM THAT I AM” (Exod 3:14), or that is the LORD GOD’s “nickname” for His Existence (“TO BE” in the English).

Yehoshua comes from that. It is the Theophoric name of God for the Man of God, Jesus. Eventually in scripture, Yehoshua was shortened to Yeshua from which comes the English Word, “Jesus,” meaning “Ya comes to the rescue” or “Yahweh (Ya) saves.”

Implied in that Name “Jesus” is that He is God (Yahweh) who came to save mankind. John chapter one validates that Jesus is God in the flesh (John 1:1-14).

The dilemma is understanding the positional relationship between the Father and the Son, and if God is One, how can it be that Jesus sits on the “right hand of God,” the Father? (Mark 16:19).

Josephus, the historian, in his writings, The Wars of the Jews, explained the right hands as security for his life. That was an early from of “blood brothers” wherein each person shared blood; their bloodlines becoming one in unison. (Their DNA were mixed and they became genetic brothers without common fathers.)

When two kings in the Roman empire traded the right hands of friendship to each other under Caesar, they became one with each other and with Caesar. They were each acting on behalf of each other for the common good of Caesar. That showed goodwill toward Caesar and each other and that is roughly the “Greatest Commandment” that Jesus revealed, to wit: love the Lord and to love your neighbor (Mat 22:37, 39). Caesar was their “lord” and each king were neighboring men reigning in the same realm.

Therefore, Jesus does not literally “sit” on the right-hand side of the Father, but on the “right hand of the power of God” (Luke 22:36). Jesus, the man, has the power of God and sits on the throne of God as the Power.

Jesus is not literally a “carpenter” but a “Tekton” in the Greek. He has Power over all the Creation because His Power is the Power of the LORD GOD (Yhova ‘Elohiym). His authority, like Herod the Great and the other kings, was meant to be as good as the power of Caesar. In the absence of Caesar, which was most the time, the kings had the authority of Caesar.

Therefore, Jesus is God, not the “Son of God” as most think nowadays. More on that shortly.

Philip questioned Jesus. Jesus explained the positional relationship between Himself and the Father, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father” (John 14:8-9). He and the Father are One and the same. Hence, Jesus is the manifestation of the Father, the Invisible God, to wit: speaking of Jesus the Christ, Paul wrote, “But now (He) is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith” (Rom 16:26). In other words, Jesus is God revealed in the flesh of a man; thusly, Jesus is called the “Son of God” and the “Son of Man” however confusing that may be.

“Son” is not son as is thought of in modern terms. In the Book of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar placed three men in his fiery furnace, but he saw a fourth man therein as well and said, “The form of the fourth is like the Son of God” (Daniel 3:25). The form, or shape, of the fourth man was like the “Son of God” (Bar ‘Ela in the Hebrew). The root noun of bar (son) is “ben” meaning “born from” or the genesis of God, the Father. In other words, Jesus is not the conventional offspring of God but of the genes or God, or like Adam, Jesus was the “Last Adam” (1 Cor 15:45) because both Adam and Him had the genes of God without the insemination of spermatozoa. They both were divine creatures.

Jesus prayed: 

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which thou hast given Me: for thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world. (John 17:24)

 There is so much therein, but the Glory of Jesus is the Glory of God. His Glory was derived from the Father figure — the Image that was His Glory. Hence, “Glory” is the Image of God and the genetics of both Jesus and Yahweh, the Father. Jesus is the “Son of God,” not because God has sperm, but because God generated, or genned, Him. Jesus, as the Son of God, was the gens (Latin) of the Yahweh.

To understand gens better, Julius Caesar was of the gens of the Julii family. His earliest known ancestor was Sextus Julius Caesar, so he was the son, or gens, of Sextus Julius, called “Caesar.” That meant he was of the Julii family, but not the immediate son of the first Caesar.

The same goes for Jesus. He was the “Son of David” and the “Son of God.” The genealogy of Joseph, the supposed father of Jesus, came from David. Hence, Jesus was recognized as the Son of David because it was believed that he had the genes of David. The same applies to Jesus as the Son of God; He was of the genes of Yahweh, and not sired by Yahweh at all! He was not generated but revealed to the world.

Jesus always existed, as John reveals. He is not a created being like Adam but a revealed Being: that Being, being God the Father.

Now for “Father God.”

“No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared Him” (John 1:18).

“Father” therein is “Pater” in the Greek. Of course, father could mean male parent, but therein, it means “progenitor” (Strong 2006). The Father was the first genes of Jesus. He generated the flesh of Jesus in the womb of Mary by breathing life unto her womb. Mary was only the supposed mother of Jesus; and like Melchizedek, Jesus was “Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God” (Heb 7:3). In other words, Melchizedek was the Image of God — of the gens of God — the same as Jesus. Perhaps He was preincarnate Jesus.

Now consider modern technology; Jesus had the DNA of God. The DNA is a complete encoded description of any organism. Jesus was not the immediate “Son of God” but since He was the Flesh of God, Jesus had the DNA of Yahweh. The DNA of the “Father” is the DNA of Jesus, and hence, Jesus is identical to Yahweh, although not a “son” in the modern sense. In scripture the DNA is called “Glory” and physically the chromosomes that contain the paternal DNA or much more glorious than the mitochondria that contains the female sponsored DNA. Jesus would have the Glorious chromosomes of Yahweh but the inglorious mitochondria of Eve; that is if Mary was his true mother.

Jesus would have had mitochondrial DNA because it is in all flesh, as Eve was the “mother of all living.” (Gen 3:20). 


Note here that “mother of all living” is the genetic contributor to everyone alive.

However, Jesus would have the paternal DNA, not of Joseph, since he had not passed along his genetics, but that the Father had His genes imbued within the womb of Mary. She was the surrogate, and the “placenta” was no more than an “ark” that God provided for the “last Adam” to be transported from one realm to another. Jesus was not “born” in the sense of other men but borne as in “transported” here from someplace else in another realm.

As the “Father,” Yahweh is the source of Divine genetics, or the Glory of God. Because mankind are all sinners, all of them come short of the Glory of God (Rom 3:23), and have little remaining of the genes of God since we are children of the Devil (John 8:44).

The Devil, Satan, is totally depraved since he is defiled. Cain was of the Wicked One and Eve; he was not totally depraved, nor in total iniquity (Psalm 51:1). However, like David, Cain was shaped in iniquity, meaning that his progenitor was Satan, and David too was the Son of Satan, at least until he repented of his coming short as a man after God’s own “heart,” or nature.

Mankind is not totally depraved, or they would not be worth saving. We do have faulty genes, coming short, but not depleted. We are worth saving, but how can that process come about?

Jesus revealed the solution to Nicodemus; “Marvel not; ye must be born again” (John 3:7). Literally that is “engendered from God above.” That means that since we come short of the Glory of God, God will restore the divine genes that were mutated with the original, or genetic, sins (our genesis). The blood of Jesus was propitiated to believers for “sins that are past” (genetic sins from the original sin of the female “Adam” that the Wicked One bewitched her with.)

The ”Serpent” put “guile” into the womb of Eve and as the mother of all living, each person has guile in them, genetically.

We all are, before conversion, “Sons of the Wicked One” with Lucifer’s genetics. The blood of Jesus makes us “Sons of God,” like Seth’s progeny; not that Seth is our “father” but fellow progeny of God, the Father.

Whereas Cain was of the genes of the Devil, and was the “Son of Satan,” Seth’s progeny were “Sons of God,” but they degenerated further by coupling with the “Daughters of Men,” not daughters of the male Adam but the female. “Adam” is the kind, or species, that would be most dominant. Eve was as much “Adam” as Adam but of a different gender, meaning that she was of different DNA.

This may seem complicated but is as simple as “Son of David.” Jesus was not the son of King David but was of the family of David just as all the Caesars were of the family of Julii. All the Julians have the genes of Sextus in them, and Jesus, the only “Son,” the genes only of Yahweh.

The transfiguration revealed that Jesus is God in the flesh. He was not so much changed but revealed on that mountain. Moses finally saw the face of God, and as it turned out; it was Jesus. It was Moses that was transfigured; Jesus was revealed as God!

Nebuchadnezzar saw the fourth man in the fiery furnace in the form of the Son of God. He saw the Glory of God in the shape of a man; not any man, but one who had the same genes as Yahweh. If he had seen the man’s face, according to scripture, he would have died. He did not. He saw the form of God (genes were the form) in the shape of a man just as Luke did centuries later (Luke 3:22).  He saw three substances in the fire: (1) The Power over the Extreme Heat (The Holy Spirit), the form of a man (the Holy Ghost of Jesus) whose substance was not of flesh, and the Glory, or genes, of God that could not be corrupted.

Therefore, it is not precisely, “God and Jesus,” nor an actual first generation “Son of God,” but God manifested in all His Glory for us to see and for God to be His Own sacrifice for the bad genes in Adam-kind. Jesus never came short of the Glory of God, meaning that He was wholly Yahweh in the flesh of a man.
