People just do not understand it, but as John wrote, Jesus was there in the beginning, preceding all things. Jesus is the “House of God” and for those who are not royalty, that is not so easily understood. Jesus was the “son of David” and the “son of Abraham” and the gospels are about the generation of Jesus (Mat 1:1)
Of course, neither David nor Abraham
begat Jesus. He was the “manifested” (John 1:31), or revealed, by the Lord God
and was as such the “son of God”. Jesus was not born in a natural sense,
but revealed to mankind, as John wrote so succinctly (John 1:1-14).
Even demons recognized Jesus as
God:
As Jesus approached two
demon-possessed men, He was recognized by the demon spirits, “Behold,” they
cried out, saying, “What have we to do with you, Jesus, You Son of God? are You
come hither to torment us before the time” (Mat 8:29)?
The demons believed in Jesus and feared
destruction. They did not call Him the “son of Joseph, David, or even Abraham;”
they called Him the “Son of God” as a distinction to which He was entitled.
They were not saying that God sired Him, but that He was genetically God just
as any legal king in most nations are kings because they are of the “House” of
the first king.
That should answer how Jesus is both
God and the son of God. Look at it this way; the flesh of Jesus housed
the genetic Image (selem in the Hebrew) of Father God, Yahweh.
“Our image,” Selem, is
literally בְּצַלְמֵנוּ in the Hebrew. Reading from right to left,
the first letter is bet. That could mean either family or flesh. Jesus
was of the family of God, not that there were more than one in the family, but a
family are those genetically common. Bet would be the genetics of God with
Adam and his kind in whose Image God made him, were genetically “sons of God,”
and like Jesus by generation.
The word “generation” is not time related. Jesus as the generation
of God was of the genetics of Father, God; and hence the Father of Jesus did
not begat Jesus, but put Himself within the flesh of Jesus. Jesus was without
father or mother; albeit Mary carried the genes of Eve as well as the genes of
God as Adam’s kind. When God overshadowed Mary, He overwhelmed her with the
Image of God (Selem); hence Jesus was the “last Adam” and was the “quickening
Spirit” within the first Adam (1 Cor 15:45).
So, the Image of God in Adam was the same Spirit that was in Jesus with God
generating at least two men of Adam’s kind with the same Spirit within both their
fleshes.
The Bible is not only theology but an ancient book of genetics. Herd improvement
is called “animal husbandry” and Yahweh is called the “Husbandman” (John
15:1). As such God used the best genes available — His own — to generate
both Adam and Jesus; and to improve deviant kind.
Yahweh has a characteristic
that is significant; He is omnipresent (from the Latin for “present everywhere”).
Thus, God is in all Existence simultaneously. It is not that the environment is
God but that it is from God, and so is Adam and Jesus. (Note that the past
tense is not used because both Adam’s still exist but are unseen. Tenses
belongs to the world but in heaven things are always now, or the
present.)
Adam was generated from Yahweh, or “Father God.” God overshadowed both
Adam and Jesus as the Hebrew word means. Common men were not overshadowed by
God but those in Christ are. That action is called “born again” or “engendered
from above.”
Most people think of gender as male or female classifications. To engender
means “to cause to exist or to develop”
Note that has nothing to do with sexuality but is the mechanism which God
uses.
Referring to the beginning, John wrote, “This then is the message which we
have heard of him, and declare unto you: that God is Light, and in Him is no
darkness at all” (1 John 1:5).
If the image was a “shadow”
The root word for “our image” in scripture is the masculine noun צֶלֶם. Masculinity indicates seed. God did
not sow semen but pure unadulterated waters of some type with His divine
seed within. It was not sperm but some other substance that John said was “Light.”
For those who have had philosophy, surely they have heard of Plato’s “Allegory
of the Cave”. Pontius Pilate was said to be a student of Platonian philosophy,
asking Jesus, “What is truth” (John 18:38)?
Without answering, God revealed the truth to Pilate by shining light in
darkness overshadowing the Image, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost was revealed. The
Holy Ghost would be the “Shadow” of the man, Jesus. Hence, the substance of the
shadow (selem) of God would be the Holy Ghost of the man, Jesus.
Adam had within him the same Holy Ghost, so the “our” in “our image” would
be the three substances of God; and not three persons.
If God is Light, and He is, then a Shadow of God would be a lesser light.
Scientifically, even darkness is full of unseen photons — light but the
Image of both Adam and Jesus was the Light of God revealed as a Shadow. Shadows
are not darkness at all but less intense Light. Both Adam and Jesus had some
portion of the Light of God in them, so each carried God within them.
The spelling of selem should provide a clue to the content of light: tsade – lamed – mem. All those letters carry scientific information: the letter tsade is quantum alignment as light is aligned in rays; lamed is the guiding force that shines the light onto specific things, and the mem is fluid dynamics. In this case the fluids are Light that when stopped are either photons or waves. Mem would indicate “both blood and water” as Jesus said about rebirth.
John wrote about Jesus:
This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ, not by water only, but by water and blood; and it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. (1 John 5:6)
Selem indicates the coming of
the mem which means either the flow of water or the flow of blood
particles in water. Jesus came by both the water and blood, by the Spirit and
by genetics in the blood. Jesus was the genome of God — His Shadow. (A “genome”
is the entire genetics of an organism.) Hence, Jesus is entirely God whereas
Adam was a fragment of God as the word “dominion” indicates (Gen 1:26).
Adam seems to have been generated a fragment of God — a “shadow” of Yahweh
in the same manner according to Plato wherein the shadow of a real thing
was a fragment of it. Hence, Adam had a fragment of God (the Shadow) in
him, but Jesus had the entire Light of God in His flesh. Just as Yahweh
emanated Adam (that is a theological term for illumination), Yeshua
emanates all those who receive His Light. When you see Jesus, you see Yahweh
because the Light shined by Jesus was the Light shined by God to create all
things.
As such, Adam was the shadow of God but Jesus the real “Awful Thing” able to
emanate enough quantum Power to save the world.
Illumination is traditionally
associated with truth in any philosophy. Indeed, God is Light and He is truth.
The Light of God is truth, or concurrence with reality.
When John said things, they were esoteric because, somehow, he saw both the
beginning and the ending. He knew that Jesus was the Light that shined in the beginning
to emanate real things from no thing.
Generation, in the case of
Jesus, was Him shining the Light of God whatever that Light might be.
Now for the concept of the Light of God:
And God said, “Let there be light: and there was light,” and God saw the light that it was good, and God divided the light from the darkness; and God called the light “Day”, and the darkness He called “Night”, And the evening and the morning were the first day.(Gen 1:3-5)
