AT LAST! THE REALITY OF GENESIS 1:26, 27. AMEN!

A well known Pastor from College Park, Ga. Wrote some time ago as a guess writer in a also a very well known religious magazine about …the mystery that was kept secret since the world began. Romans 16:25. He stated that, “even though the Bible says the mysteries are hidden; God is not keeping them from us. They are not kept secret to keep us from understanding…in fact; there are mysteries that He intents to reveal to us. Rom. 11:25. Matthew 10:26. But if we ever are going to find out what they are, we must learn to go where the secrets are kept.

There is an old saying that there is no point in mixing a remedy unless you take it. (I hope this mentioned Pastor takes a spoon from his own remedy) So, knowing already the taste of this writing, is my suggestion that the reader should not continue reading if not interested in mysteries of the Word of God; if the reader continue, he should acknowledge that life as is detected in past and future prophecies have was horizons and that our human brains have their barriers and limits.

Now then, to walk on the grounds of Genesis 1:26,27; it is necessary to walk there by faith since Apostle Paul writing about Creation wrote that “Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God.” It is necessary to pray about it; and to wait for the answer (revelation) considering that Gen. 1:26,27, contains one of the most if not the most misunderstood Biblical Truths about the Godhead. You will hear from The Lord Jesus; no doubt about it, for He is THE REVEALER.

Just as the words of this song “On the Jericho road there is room for just two, no more and no less, just Jesus and you. He has promised this to WHOSOEVER WILL, also saying …he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father and I will love him and reveal myself to him. John 14:21.

Here “love to Him is the key” and verse 24 let us know that there are some that do not love Him enough to accept everything that he said about The Father and Him; therefore, He deals with believers like that as it is written: …Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men. John 2:24. What a proof that “faith with out works is death”!

When one really tries to love Him according to The First Commandment, one is put face to face with some Scriptures that seem to depict (and it is preached) a man called “the Father” and another man called “the Son” and both asking for our UNDIVIDED LOVE! Some people try to avoid such Scriptures for whatever reason, and still others delight in using these very Scriptures to try to probe that THE FATHER AND THE SON ARE TWO DISTINCT AND SEPARATE PERSONS.

A GOOD QUESTION?

I have a question to those that be considered “pillars of Christendom” What other purpose did Jesus have, when speaking of Himself and The Father, to express a readiness to give a revelation? As the above Scripture stated, and also when He said …neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son and he to whosoever the Son will reveal Him. Matt. 11:27.

O God of heaven, if these so called pillars of Christianity could open their hearts to receive this thy glorious truth so the sunlight of Divine Revelation would unfold of Yourself as The Creator so You ,O El ELOHIM would no longer be lost in the pagan vocabulary of definitions! Amen!

A CALL TO MINISTERS!

Since this letter is specially for Ministers, it is assumed that the two Scriptures of Genesis 1:26,27 are known by the reader-be it a Pastor or Evangelist of any sort, popular or not so popular. For the last three years, I have been mailing reading materials like this one now and then to hundreds in the Ministry all over the country in my quest to bring back to Christianity what was THE GENERAL CONVICTION FOR THE FIRST TWO HUNDRED YEARS A.D. NOT ONLY THE CONVICTION OF THE FOLLOWERS OF THE SAVIOR BUT ALSO THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE …SON GIVEN… WAS THE ETERNAL FATHER Isa. 9:6 or as other translation stated it- …Father for ever… (that was when The Church at the first century was called “THE WAY”

There is a second question that I would ask. And I feel that there is not other questions outside of heaven as important as this questions. Is The Almighty God of heaven and earth two men or one? The Man Jesus prayed about it saying that WE SHOULD COME TO KNOW HIM (EL ELOHIM) and he also give as an imperative command with a dreadful warning to those who could not (or would not) believe that HE WAS THE I AM (EL ELOHIM)… except ye believe that I AM ye shall die in your sins… This was just before the popular saying of Jesus …you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free…

The argument goes like this - most preachers in Christianity today know that the God of the above Scriptures is called Elohim in Gen. 1:26. But they say that this word in Hebrew is a plural Name that allows us to detect a plurality of “divine Persons” within the Godhead of The Almighty . And while others disagree with that persuasion, they state that the “Elohim” means a plurality of the majesty of God. But from a neutral point of view, I will present what I see in God’s Word and what anyone can see also what Elohim is.

When King Saul sought out and consulted with the witch of Endor to ask about the dead prophet Samuel, the “seer” woman cried aloud and said …I saw gods ascending out of earth… And King Saul asked her , what form is he of? (gods are called “he” in this instance) …and Saul perceived that it was Samuel. In another translation we read that the King asked her, after she cried out with aloud voice…what do you see? And the woman said to Saul,…I saw a spirit (a elohim) ascending out of the earth , and Saul then asked…what is his form?

What can we get from here? When compared the two translations? Well, if you can see with my glasses-what some people call “gods” others saw one entity! In other words, King Saul saw a single entity existing as one spirit and HIS FORM. Right?

I trust that this example is understandable. But I will give you another Scriptural example. Eliphaz, in the Book of Job, had a similar experience (Job 14) but in this case, the spirit did not come from under the earth but was a CELESTIAL VISITATION .. Then a spirit passed before my face, the hair of my flesh stood up. It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof. V. 15, He did not venture to explain away what he did not understood. No, no until A CLEAR IMAGE WAS BEFORE HIM AND HE HEARD A VOICE COME FORTH FROM IT.

TWO PERSONS?

Can a Preacher in his right mind attempt to preach that Samuel and his spirit were two persons? Or rather, that the spirit of Samuel and the visible aspect of that entity APPEARING TO BE TWO, ARE IN REALITY ONE!

What many fail to understand is that there is the plurality of the “use” of the word elohim. That is what Moses called the “form of God and His Spirit” Elohim is not the proper Name of the Creator as some preach it; rather it is the “act of being Spirit and Mater at one place. The modern way to describe such a spirit appearance is called a “ Theophany” It is why The …form of God… …in the flesh… said in very clear vocabulary …I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE THING. (EL ELOHIM)

It is also the explanation of the “Let us” and “in our image” Gen. 1:26,27. This also explains the…and we will come unto him” John 14:23. Hard to believe but it is all truth because God’s Word innerrantly proclaims that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself…

What a great and majestic way to view the act of crucifixion from …THE AUTHOR OF LIFE…To redeem us, He had to pay the ultimate price-by His Holy blood-and after the resurrection, came to make His above in all that would be born again of His Spirit. But to create mankind, He had to say… Let us make man…

King David the man after God’s own heart, speaking to EL ELOHIM said: You have made him (man) a little lower than the angels (an elohim)Ps. 8:5 N.K.J.V. And when certain Jews questioned Jesus by saying …thou being a man, makest thyself God? Jesus responded by quoting Asaph in the Scriptures …it is not written in your Law I SAY YE ARE GODS? (that is to say, “ye are elohims”) Jesus referred to the children of the Most High God, and there THE MOST HIGH GOD IS CALLED EL ELOHIM!

So man was made “an elohim” after the likeness of the EL ELOHIM but of a lower state; breath of life and in earthen form, that is why King David could say when praying to EL ELOHIM …I will behold thy face (not your faces) when I awake with thy likeness.

What is so hard to believe that …by the WORD OF THE LORD, the heavens were made and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth, that He spoke and it was done… he commanded and it stood fast…, That it was that by His Spirit He adorned the heavens AND WITH OUT HIM, WAS NOT anything made that was made.

The heavenly “form” of God, spoke to His Spirit; the “same form of God” in human attire made long distant calls (prayers) to His Omnipresent Spirit and was also heard. He is also the same one who collected dust from the ground in the garden of Eden and made the tabernacle where the first Adam was to live. It was He that breathed the “spirit of life” into the first Adam who moved into his own house of clay and became a “living soul”

The “Let us” of Gen 1:26 is likened to the real YOU that speaks to the inside of YOU and are STILL ONE PERSON; have you heard the voice of your SUBCOMCIENT-IT IS ANOTHER PERSON? ARE YOU TWO PERSONS? It is just like Job said to himself …I have made a covenant with my eyes… and as King David also said to himself …oh my soul, thou has said unto the Lord, thou are my Lord… Does the “thou” and the speaker make two persons? And for those who always ask was God speaking to Himself or was God using ventriloquism? Let me tell you what in some translations says (1) …God said in his heart… …Jehova was pleased with the sacrifice (of Noah) and said TO HIMSELF… Here again my question -was Himself and Jehovah , two separate persons? Of course not! The are other examples such as the case of “the rich fool” and Gehazi and Naaman etc. Nevertheless, some people still refuse to believe or to understand that, Gideon, after having a conversation wit God MISTOOK HIM AS AN ANGEL-BUT WHEN GIDEON PERCIEVED THAT HE WAS THE ANGEL OF THE LORD, Gideon said ALAS! O LORD GOD.

Now then, was the Angel of The Lord and The Lord God, two divine persons? Of course No!

THE ONE TRUE GOD!

How well some of us know that in the religious world there are abundances of teachings about “gods in heaven” I happen to live in a very religious area where that particular faith has complete control and has claimed to have some writings supposedly from Abraham in it, who supposedly wrote a Genesis also speaking about Gods in Creation. No doubt they are in the same spirit with those who oppose the One Deity truth as it is presented about EL ELOHIM as laid out in the following Scriptures of God’s Word. In Psalm 100:3 EL ELOHIM is called HE WHO MADE US. In Gen. 2:3 EL ELOHIM WHO RESTED FROM HIS WORK.(how come only One rested?) And in 24:3 it can be clearly seen by contex that it is THE GOD OF HEAVEN AND THE GOD OF EARTH IS THE ONE LORD (EL ELOHIM) and finally, in Exodus 3:14-18 & 4:5 it was EL ELOHIM who said I AM WHO I AM (referring to Himself, not themselves) And Moses said, THE LORD GOD (EL ELOHIM) appeared to me.

This I know as a fact -in Christendom, there is a lot of skepticism about the One single Deity, There is also little known of the true meaning of the Hebrew word Elohim. Ther are various assumptions about a “pluralities of Deities” in the Godhead and many who support that belief are also many of the ones that assume the mother of Jesus is sitting in heaven in a throne of her own(?) Let me ask you -what difference is there in believing in “gods” or believing in a “goddess”? Permite me to answer that question please, simple put, it is the lack of acknowledgement of who The Son is! The proof of that assertion is in the Holy Word of God. It is written …he that acknowledges the Son, EVEN HAS THE FATHER. This is the most important knowledge that one can obtain for themselves since it was the Son that say …no man knows the Father, save the Son!

Also He asserted that the world …KNEW NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT…and that is another reason for the promise of a “revelation” because when the Lord Jesus had implied that he was both, He was well aware that what He was saying was the most religious offence to the Jews at that time and many of our time as we see it in those that deny this precious truth! Nevertheless, Jesus made that claim. As unspeakable offence in the religious world as this statement was, The Lord Jesus DID NOT APOLOGIZE, for He already knew that the time was already to make plain to them that believed in Him the truth of who He really was!

When the Pharisees accused Jesus …show us thy Father…you makes thyself God… instead of an apology, He emphasized this truth of who He was with more strongly words that any others …IF YE BELIEVE NOT THAT I AM (HE) YE SHALL DIE IN YOUR SINS. John 8:24 These were His words in the spirit of prophecy. A declaration of judgment and resolution . And “that” with out remedy!

John wrote about in the revelation that he saw God and the Lamb on a single Throne and that the heavenly people saw HIS FACE (not their faces) O what a day that will be when The Bride of the Lamb shall see that glorious face! The very One who knew no sin, but was made sin for our sakes. Not only took our sins but became sin in order to be “the” (definite article in both testaments) QUALIFIED REDEEMER!

The Lamb on God’s Throne shall be praised and honored forever and ever as God Almighty in His human glorified and exalted form of God, The SAVIOR-JEHOVAH-YAWEH-THE LORD GOD of the holy prophets -EL ELOHIM He alone shall be seen on His Throne of Glory and HIS SEED …shall see Him and fall down to worship Him because they know that it is He that is THE EVERLASTING FATHER Isa. 9:6 And …they shall bear The Name of their Father in their foreheads. Rev. 14:1.

Like the patriarch Moses, the Apostle John wrote about the beginning of Creation and about the same beginning of Creation and about The Creator -EL ELOHIM saying that “He was in the world and the world was made by Him ( not them) And the world knew Him not (because they have no revelation) and all things were made by Him and without Him was nothing made that was made.

Moses wrote by the Spirit of The Lord “In the beginning God (EL ELOHIM- ALEPH AND TAU… WHY THESE TWO WORDS WERE NOT TRANSLATED? Because in Zechariah 12:10 says …and they shall look upon me THE ALEPH AND THE TAU whom they have pierced… (Leave it to the Trinitarian translators!)

Since they both wrote by the same Spirit The Word and God are One and the same, John could be no more emphatic and clear in his description of the Word that was in the beginning saying “ That which was from the beginning (EL ELOHIM) WHICH WE HAVE HEARD, WHICH WE HAVE SEEN WITH OUR EYES, WHICH WE HAVE LOOKED UPON AND OUR HANDS HAVE HANDLED, the word of life…he was revealed unto us.

Here , blessed John, is more specific in his assertion about the declaration ...AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD... HERE HE REALLY TAKE US TO THE HEART OF THE MYSTERY OF EL ELOHIM, for He was “THAT” ETERNAL WORD OF LIFE THAT SPOKE IN THE BEGINNING AND BEING SUCH THE WORD OF ETERNAL LIFE THAT WAS WITH THE FATHER.

It cannot be otherwise because Eternal life only comes from Him who is The Eternal God-The Eternal Father.; as Peter presented Him at the Day of Pentecost …THE AUTHOR OF LIFE…

Finally, since He was “that” eternal Word of life that brought everything to life, we most understand that He was in His pre-human existence; the UNBEGOTTEN FORM OF GOD if you will, that was to come AS THE SAVIOR to saved His creation from the life and bondage of sin; in order to minister to a dying and sinful world, He was declared at birth, baptism and resurrection from the dead as THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD! Which He could not be “ THE ONLY BEGOTTEN” if “another in heaven have been “begotten before the ages," as it is preached.

And John, having the revelation of WHO HE REALLY WAS, WROTE MAYBE WITH A TREMBLING HAND BUT ALSO WITH AN UNSHAKABLE CONVICTION “…this is the true God…(EL ELOHIM) AND ETERNAL LIFE!

O LORD JESUS, WHAT A WONDER YOU ARE!
