The scriptures indicate that Jesus Christ is BOTH man and God. Jesus was made 'a little lower than the angels' and he received the Spirit of God at baptism.
Jump to Revelation. The soul of Jesus was resurrected in a new body, and with the Spirit of God. He is a unique being. His Father is all Spirit, but the Word is now united with the soul of a resurrected Jesus Christ.
Revelation 3:12.'Him [the believer] that overcometh will I [the angel Spirit sent by God to speak to the church, see Rev.1:1] make a pillar in the temple of my God [Jesus Christ], and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God [Jesus Christ], which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God [Jesus Christ]: and I will write upon him my new name.'
To confirm that every mention of 'my God' in this passage is a mention of Jesus Christ, one only has to check out the corresponding scriptures.
Galatians 2:9 refers to Cephas, James and John as 'pillars' of the Church, the body of Christ. They saw the same grace in Paul. We know, therefore, that the temple of Revelation 3:12 is the Church, the body of Christ. Whose name is written upon those in the body of Christ? Simple answer, Christ's name!
Now look at Revelation 21:2. This is about the 'new Jerusalem'. It says, 'And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.' This bride is the Church, the body of Christ!
When you link all the scriptures together, it is clear to see that Jesus Christ is MY GOD.
Jesus, in who were the spirits of the righteous who had been gathered to the bosom of Abraham, was resurrected on the first day after the weekly Sabbath that followed the Passover, which is the festival of “First Fruits,” HE was not the first fruit (Singular) but the
FIRST FRUITS (Plural) to be harvested from the body of mankind. He was the first of many brothers and sisters, who are to be conformed to the glorious image of God’s only begotten Son, who is the Spirit, that according to our concept of one direction linear time, is still currently developing within the pregnant androgynous body of mankind=Eve, HE who is to crush the head of our adversary, and who pays the penalty for the sins of the body in which he develops.
John 1: 12/13; “But as many as received him, (The Light of Man) to them gave he the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name [I Am Who I Am].”
And they, like our brother Jesus, who was the first born of the sons of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are born sons of God, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but by the Spirit of the Lord, which descended upon the man Jesus in the form of a dove, as the heavenly voice was heard to say: “You are my son, today I have begotten thee.” [My chosen Heir and Successor.]
Jesus, is the first to win the victory and to receive a share of the glorious immortal body of light, which is that of our heavenly saviour, which body of light was torn asunder and poured out as fire on the heads of all those who believed his words as spoken through his servant "Jesus" for our salvation.
In his new glorious body of brilliant and blinding light, He, on the road to Damascus, answered Saul's question, "Who are you Lord?" with these words, "I am Jesus of Nazareth whom you persecute,"
Acts 3: 13; for the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors has given divine glory to his servant Jesus.
Jesus, your brother, was given divine glory and now sits in the throne of our Father, and all the chosen ones who have born the image of the first Adam, shall also bear the
IMAGE of the glorified Jesus, "The Second Adam," (in the eternal process of change/evolution, for mankind does not close the chapter in the book of evolution) a new creation of bodies of Glorious and blinding Light which is the new Temple of your Lord that is to replace God’s old tabernacle =temporary tent (Mankind) as the ruler on this earth of all creation.
First, "
MAN" (man (אנושׁ : 'enosh') in English, mortal human beings) was created a little lower than the angels, then he is crowned with glory and all creation is placed beneath his feet. All creation is placed beneath the feet of
MAN (man (אנושׁ : 'enosh) in English, mortal human beings)
WHO IS CROWNED WITH GLORY.
We have not yet seen this happen. But we have seen Jesus, the first born from the dead, who has won the victory and was given divine glory by your heavenly Father and saviour, and is now incontestably divine and sits in the heavenly throne of Godhead: and who, in Revelation 3: 21; invites those, who win the victory also, to sit with him in your Father’s throne of Godhead within the creation. And all creation Visible and invisible, which, according to Paul, includes even the angels, will bow at their feet.
