Isaiah 48
12 "Listen to Me, O Jacob, And Israel, My called:
I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last. 13 Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched out the heavens;
When I call to them, They stand up together.
kcnalp, on point. in that one verse is so much information. oh if many would could just understand the "First", and the "Last" is the same one person. all theses misconceptions could be eliminated. God, JESUS said MY HAND laid the foundation of the earth. HOLD it, is not God a "Spirit", so what do he means "my HAND?" ... (smile). lets check the record, Isaiah 63:12 "That led them by the right hand of Moses with
his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?". God "ARM?" or this, Exodus 15:8 "And with the blast of
thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea."
so God have hands, and a nose?...... (smile). anthropomorphic? yes, and those human characteristics MANIFESTED in the flesh as a man, the Son the Last Adam, or the ordinal Last, the "POWER and WISDON which is GOD.
kcnalp, you have the RIGHT scripture, GOD "POWER", himself is demonstrated in these human characteristics. MY ARM is ME as in Revelation 3:12 THIS IS THE LORD JESUS SPEAKING, "Him that overcometh will
I make a pillar in the temple of
my God, and he shall go no more out: and
I will write upon him the name of
my God, and the name of the city of
my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from
my God: and
I will write upon him
my new name." who name did he write? HIS "OWN" NAME.
the scriptures are great, self answering, and self revelating.
