Trees, in the Bible, is often metaphoric for men both alive and to come. Ezekiel wrote, “The Word of the Lord came unto me…” (Ezek 15:1).
The “Word” in that passage is “Dabar”
in the Hebrew, According to Saint John, Jesus is Ha Dabar, if John had
written in the Hebrew. In the Greek, Jesus was “Ho Logos.” Ho Logos in
the Greek is Ha Shem in the Hebrew — “THE NAME” (THE WORD) in
English.
Jesus, before time began, was neither
the Image — the “Shadow” or “Phantom” of God (Selem) — nor the Person of
God, but “Ha Dabar” — the third Substance of the Godhead, or Holy
Trinity. There was one Person, one Ghost, and one other Existence that made up
the One God of the Holy Trinity.
One substance was material, another
immaterial, and the third — “The Word” — was of an entirely different substance,
not material, not immaterial, but action. The third substance of the
Holy Trinity is the Dynamic of God. So, what is a Dynamic?
“Dynamic is a term used to
describe a force or factor that controls or influences a process of growth,
change, interaction, or activity”
According to that a Dynamic is a force that causes activity, or motion. Therefore, since Power is force over distance and time, The Word is “Power.” John understood the Power of God and so had Ezekiel. John wrote, speaking of Jesus:
In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. (John 1:1-4)
There was much going on in the
beginning; The Word made all things and then gave life unto them. The Word was
the Creator God, not a different God, but one aspect of Him.
The Existence of God is verified
by the things that were made. (Rom 1:20). So, faith begins with The Word, that
God is who He says He is, that He had the Power to Create, and that the Power
of God is just as much God as Jesus. Likewise, that the Phantom Existence of
God is as much God as Jesus.
On the other hand, since Jesus is
“The Way” (Mark 1:3), The Way is “The Word.”
“The Way” is “Hodos” in
the Greek, meaning “To Go”
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with Power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him. (Acts 10:38)
Therein is the “Godhead” — God
Himself who endued to Jesus the Holy Ghost who had Power. Therefore,
there is one God whose substances are three. Power is as real as the Thing and
the Ghost of the Thing. There is no life without Power as Merriam and Webster
reveals with the word “Dynamic.”
Luke did not say “Power” but promoted
the definition of Webster; using the Greek word “Dynamis” from which “Dynamic”
is derived. In many places Dynamis is translated as “Virtue” that Jesus
lost in making people whole. Therefore, The Word is not only The Dynamic of God
but since God is good, then the Dynamic is Goodness, or “Virtue.”
One man spoke to Jesus who
responded to him, “Why call you Me good? there is none Good but One, that is
God…” (Mat 19:17). The Goodness of God is therefore the Dynamic Word of God
that is the Force of Goodness revealed to mankind in activity.
When anyone prays for the Will of
God be done, and it is done, that activity is the Dynamic of God. He reveals
His Existence by the things that He does. It is not fate nor coincidence that
works in the lives of Christians, but The Word revealing itself by the good
things God does for Christians. If it is not good, measured by the metrics of
God — The Ten Commandments — then it is not “The Word” that responds to our prayers.
Where was The Word in scripture? Creating
and writing are two of them. God was the Dynamic of Creating (“The Word”) — and
the Dynamic of writing good sayings on stone. In a sense, the Ten Commandments
are The Word of God that describes The Way of God.
Jesus said, “Think not that I Am
come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I Am not come to destroy, but to
fulfil” (Mat 5:17).
“Fulfill” is a simple
translation. Jesus came to imbue (pleroo) the Law. If the Law is the
Dynamic of God, then Jesus is the shell, vessel, or “cup” for it. He completes
the Law, indicating that The Law is the Dynamic of God — The Word.
God spoke those Words (Exod
20:1). It was His Dynamic of speech. He may have not spoken the Word audibly
but indelibly.
God delivered to Moses “two
tables of stone written with the finger of God” (Deut 9:10). The Dynamic of God
was writing The Word, or sayings, of God. The Power of God dynamically etched
The Word in stone for perpetuity.
The Power that wrote The Word on
tablets of stone was the “Virtue” of God so written by His Dynamic.
Throughout the Bible God appears as
One Substance at any given time. In the beginning, He appeared to the world as
the Creator — the great Power of God. After God rested, or stopped, afterword
God appeared to mankind as The Voice, walking (Gen 3:8). God was invisible
when at rest; however, imagine God walking and talking in the Garden as His
surroundings responded to His Dynamic by their own dynamics. Adam knew that God
was walking and talking by His movement among the vines of the Garden.
God seemed not to Exist, but His
Dynamic proved His Existence; that He is what He says He is — “The Existence.”
When God rested, there was no
motion. However, He remained God, albeit they could not see Him. The Invisible
God is revealed to mankind by what He does. Paul got it right when he spoke to
the Romans.
God rested for over 400 years,
the “Big Bang” — Jesus — was God manifested for mankind to see the Personality
of God. God, just as with the first Adam, He did so with the “Last Adam” (1 Cor
15:45). The Word covered the “nakedness” of God that was Good with flesh that
was not so good but would meet His needs. With Jesus, The Word covered the
nakedness — the Phantom — of God with the Garment of Adam (Gen 3:21) which He had
made (Dynamic).
The Work, or Dynamic, of God was thereafter
on Adam so that He knew that God was real. He in a sense, wore The Dynamic of
God; he had The Word covering his own existence.
Paul wrote to the Christians at Ephesus,
“My brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the Power of his might” (Ephes 6:10).
They were to walk in the Power of the Lord. The Word would be with them in
Power. Then Paul described the whole armor of God; he was describing the invisible
Dynamic that Christians must wear to remain safe from the wicked one. The
armor of God that Christians wear, if they are really Christians, may have been
the same Garment of God that Adam wore to remain safe until they are
saved when Jesus gave up His life for Adam and his kind.
God was not really silent and at
rest for 400-plus years before Jesus came. The Word — the Power of God — was
building empires to correct the Israelites. God built Assyrian, Babylonia,
Greece, and Rome for His purposes for Israel while they all failed to see God.
He even made the Persian Empire to save the Jews from the Babylonians. God
never rests; we just fail to see His Dynamics.
Take this day, for instance. I
see God, not in the Person Jesus nor the invisible Shadow of God like Moses,
but I see the Dynamic of God all around us. Just as Satan uses good to dispense
evil, God uses bad things against evil to make goodness.
Now, there is the threat of
WWIII. What should Christians do? We should prepare for the Day of the Lord. If
the threat of nuclear disintegration is not enough to change us, then the
threat of Kamala Harris with her finger on the “Big Bang Bomb” will not be
enough.
I see God in the world right now.
It is the same as in the days of Noah that scripture warns about (Luke 17:26).
God planted Biden on the
presidential seat to make Christians see his way as not The Way. Yet even many Christians
think his way is good, even condoning homosexuality and trans-anything that God
finds abominable (disgusting).
One church-going friend accepts
homosexuality; her reasoning is that it “always existed.” Indeed, it has, but
it had always been wrong! It was not always accepted, but now it is. There is
no longer a pure church because church is full of sinful people who place no
value in The Word written on stone. If it was once wrong, because it is on
stone, the sin is always wrong!
Hopefully by now you understand God
more so. The Creator was the “naked Jesus” who was not ashamed. He revealed
Himself as the Phantom Image of God. That was His nakedness and the nakedness
of Adam and the woman who were not ashamed (Gen 2:25).
When God rested, He was invisible,
but He was still God.
When God was doing good, He was
still manifested by His Power and was still God.
When the “nakedness” of God was
covered for us humans, the Garment of Skin was still God in the flesh that was
made by the Dynamic of God.
With that said, if you cannot see
God, then you indeed are blind to everything around you. God is everywhere and
hidden in plain site, but few understand that God is Existence whether it be
matter, non-matter, or in Power. Now,
can you finally see God?
Those trees that Ezekiel saw;
they were as men walking. Jesus, in the eyes of the blind man, would be as the
Tree of Life walking (Mark 8:24).
Those trees of the Garden of
Eden; they were as men walking. The Garden of Eden may have been a Garden of Living
Souls wherein the first Adam was planted (Gen 2:7-8). The Tree of Life in the Garden
was surely God at rest. God was there but rooted to the ground, as if He was a
tree at rest. You can see God in the trees, not in their skin (the bark) but in
the motion of its leaves that are for the healing of the nations (Rev 22:2).
Perhaps you don’t understand that
the One God has three manifestations, and only two times were all three
manifested simultaneously… at the transfiguration and the crucifixion.
