GINOLJC, to all.
JESUS, the Holy Spirit, is the Father diversified in flesh. Scripture,
Isaiah 22:20 "And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
Isaiah 22:21 "And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
Isaiah 22:22 "And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
This is a direct reference to the "Son" who is Called “Father”.
Exhibit A. the Name “Eliakim” H471 אֶליָקִים 'Elyaqiym (el-yaw-keem') n/p.
1. (meaning) God of raising.
2. Eljakim, the name of four Israelites.
[from H410 and H6965]
KJV: Eliakim.
FROM: H410 אֵל 'el (ale) n-m.
1. firm strength, sturdiness.
2. (figuratively) a firm grip (of the hand).
3. (as adjective) sturdy (as indomitable, supreme durability).
4. (an abbreviated spelling, but especially) God, as the Superior or Indomitable Strength (but used also of any deity).
5. (hence) a god (as created or imagined).
{often used as a suffix in names, “-el”}
[shortened from H352]
KJV: God (god), X goodly, X great, idol, might(-y one), power, strong.
So the Name “Eliakim” give us a part of the meaning, but when the word is ROOTED out….. God.
knowing this, hold the name in mind.
Exhibit B. he is the Governor, “and I will commit thy government into his hand”. this from Isaiah 9:6 “and the government shall be upon his shoulder”. for the only Governor is God. Psalms 22:28 "For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations”.
So clearly we see the Christ as God who is the Governor. And this is supported and confirmed at Christ birth, Matthew 2:6 "And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel”. which was foretold by the prophet Micah 5:2
Exhibit C. now, the other important part of the name, “Eliakim”, as used here. It mean “God rising”, and this is applicable to what the Unitarians state about the title “Everlasting Father”, as the “Son” WILL BE ….. The Everlasting Father. I must concur. God Rising is a good metaphor for this title of everlasting Father to come. For after his Resurrection….. “RISING”, he is Glorified with the Glory he had “BEFOR” the world was, supportive scripture, John 17:5 "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was”.
“before the world was?”, YES, hence the title “EVERLASTING” … “FATHER.” for while in flesh with blood, he’s the Son. But Glorified with, with, with, the Spirit he’s the Father. how? listen,
John 17:5 "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was". the Father is "Spirit". Boy Oh boy the bible is so TRUE, and so easy to understand.
So John chapter 17 proves that the Son GLORIFIED in the Father, is the Father, the Everlasting Father. Yes, the ONLY one who has IMMORALITY.
Exhibit C. Isaiah 22:22 above, open and shut the case on JESUS as Father, … Literally, listen, "And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open”. Supportive scripture,
Revelation 3:7 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
Revelation 3:8 "I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name”.
And this is the Lord Jesus .. right…......................... right.
Now, the icicing on the cake. let’s examine how each letter to each church that the Lord Jesus address, ends.
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches”.
Hold it, “What the Spirit say to the churches?”. is this not the Lord Jesus speaking to the churches? Yes, he’s the Spirit, who is God, remember John 4:24a “God is a “Spirit”. and is not God the Father? John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent”.
And, and, and, that’s that numerical difference that G243 allos express, which is the same sort.
Diversity, Diversity, Diversity, Diversity,
If one cannot see it now, either they are blind, dishonest, or just down right deceived to the truth.
maybe a re-read of this post is in order for edification and understanding.
