Our oldest son is Eliel. One day he was upset with us. He felt that we were being
unfair. We were giving more privilege to his younger brother Dael. Has that ever
happened in your family? So he draws this chart. And then he shows us
the chart. On the chart it has Eliel and it ... at the bottom. Above him is Renata,
his mother. Above Renata is me, his father. Above me is Donald Trump, the head and
the ruler. And above Donald Trump is his little brother Dael. And ... that's
what the situation is. But Eliel got one thing right. He was under his father.
I commend that. But that's the thing, of the Messiah, God, but two positions and so
the father is under, I mean so the son is under the father. Of course he is.
He submits. That's what a son does. It's the father, it's the son. It's showing
submission. It's showing love, the son. That doesn't mean there's a different
essence. You see, you know I was just talking to actually my son about this. And say
well, well how could he be the son of God and he's God. Well listen. I said you are
the son of me. You're the son of flesh and blood and so you are flesh and blood.
If he is the son of The Son of God then he is also God. Because of the same essence.
The difference is now we are children of God, he is The Son of God.
Messiah, they'll say also he was a created being. It says in the Bible
they'll argue, that he's the firstborn of creation. So therefore he's creation not
God. Well, well what does that mean? Well no, not really.
He existed before he came into creation. He became a part of creation.
That's right. He became man so as much as he became man he became part of creation in his
humanity. It says therefore he was the head, the first-fruit. He's the firstborn
of the resurrection, so he's the head, the firstborn of creation. The firstborn
chief over all. But, but he is not just that. The Bible is very clear that
he existed before he was born. Even the writings of the rabbis, and this
is not the scripture, but this is amazing because the writings
of the rabbis who don't accept Jesus, they, the ancient writing, they speak of Messiah
existing before he came into the world. John 17. He says this. Clearly. Verse 4.
It says I glorify you. He's praying. On earth. Having accomplished the work,
which you have given me to do now, Father, Abba, glorify me together with yourself,
with the glory which I had with you before the world existed. It says he came into
the world. He ... came into the world and then was born of creation
and shared in that with us. Does the New Testament ... and you should know these things.
I mean, I don't mean you should have known it, but you need to know it now.
Does the New Testament explicitly say
that Yeshua Jesus, the Messiah, the carpenter from Nazareth is God?
Well first, here's what it does, first. The New Testament speaks of Yeshua Jesus
using the same words that it, that the Hebrew Scriptures speak of God. It is a,
it is again, using the Greek equivalent again and again and again and again.
Now remember. Who is writing the New Testament? Jewish people! Luke, okay may be he converted.
But yeah, Jewish people! So now that Jewish people, you've got to understand, are from
trained from youth. These were. That there is one God. There is, he's the only.
There is nothing. It's only God. They were trained more than, how sacred God was.
And how transcendent he was. Not like the world. See, around them everybody's
worshiping idols and worshiping things on ... the world. And, and centuries
back the Jewish people fell into trouble because they did it and they were taken
into Babylon. So they said never again. So they be
They actually went too much the other way. But they said God, you can't, you basically
can't even say, basically can't even say his name! You know he's so holy.
So, so much other. Well God is other. But he's not just other.
But so here are the, but here are the people who are trained from youth that anything
else is blasphemy. And they are the ones who wrote the New Testament.
Overwhelmingly. You know, so ... you know they act like
they're Christians. You know ... these critics. They will say you know its like
the Christians, something came from another planet and then wrote the New Testament.
These are Jewish people who came, who it would, it would be blasphemy. So only, they're very
clear about what they're saying. Revelation 1, verse 7. Who is, who was,
and who is to come, the Almighty. Talking about Messiah. What do they call him?
The Almighty. The Almighty! There's only one who was Almighty and that is Jehovah
Adonai. Ephesians 4, verse 7 and 8. You might want to note this or get the, get the CD.
The measure of Messiah's giving to us. Therefore when he ascended on high
he led captive a host of captives and he gave gifts to men. Now, now what's
significant about that? Ephesians is quoting Psalm 68, verse 18 and what's it
speaking about? It's speaking about God, God, the Lord of Israel. And yet it's here
saying this is what Messiah did. This is Messiah. Now let me tell you one of most
overlooked, overlooked, things in the entire Bible regarding this. And that is
one word in Greek. And the word in Greek is Kurios. Try it. Kurios. What does it mean?
Lord ... Latin ... Kurios ... Now Kurios, or ... is
the Greek translation of two, either one or two ... means one or the other Hebrew
words. It's throughout the Bible. When when the Septuagint, the rabbis
translated it into Greek it represents two Hebrew words. What are they? Number one. Adonai.
Number two. Yahweh. Yahweh. So you can't always tell which it's referring to.
But either way he's either the Lord, not just a lord or your Lord ...
The New Testament says, calls Messiah The Lord. The Kurios. Or, or Jehovah.
The Kurios. The Lord our God. Hear O Israel, the Lord our God the Lord
is one. The word that represents those, the Lord part is Kurios. And it's using
this of Jesus again and again. To find out how you can receive more
