The Ancient Life Of Jesus
WHO HE WAS, WHAT HE FORETOLD, AND WHY
Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ) touches lives still today and for all eternity. Lets learn why that is so. The Bible identifies why Jesus has had a greater impact than any other good man who ever lived. When Jesus asked his closest followers who they thought he was, one of them correctly answered: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”—Matthew 16:16.
“Jesus of Nazareth is easily the dominant figure in history.”—H. G. Wells, English historian.
Now Jesus is ruling as King in heaven, and his followers on earth are announcing the good news worldwide.—Read Daniel 7:13, 14; Matthew 24:14.
JESUS CHRIST: the Logos (The Living Word of GOD) {Yeshua, Ye·shuʹa‛ / Yahshua = Salvation} is ‘Gods Only Begotten Son’, the firstborn of every creature who was made flesh and by the grace of God Almighty gave himself a willing and voluntary Ransom For All Mankind, to be fully demonstrated in God’s due time, and His is the Light that enlightens all who come into the world. He is our Lord and Master and the Captain of our Faith, our Redeemer, our King, our Mediator, and our Messiah.
When Jesus was baptized, his Father God Almighty YHWH Yahweh spoke down from heaven saying: “You are My Son, My Beloved, in You I am well-pleased and delighted!” Also we know Jesus does not know all, but his Father God Almighty does. “But when that day and hour will come, no one knows — not the angels in heaven, not the Son, only the Father. (CJB: Matthew 24:36)
Jesus Christ our Messiah is eternally trustworthy. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). In a world that is flying apart politically, economically, personally and spiritually Jesus Christ is our secure anchor, he is just as faithful now as he has ever been, he is our Salvation. Jesus Christ is the same forever reigning in glory at the ‘right hand of his Father’ God Almighty the ONE and only true God in heaven. "But He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of GOD" (Hebrews 10:12). Yesterday he is our ‘mediator’ dying in our place on the cross to cover all of our sins in a perfect sacrifice for sin, then today he intercedes in heaven representing us before his Father in heaven.
John 17:3 CJB - “And eternal life is this: to know you, the one true God, and him whom you sent, Yeshua the Messiah”. - We have to know both the Father and the Son, the Son is Jesus who was sent by the Father and is NOT the Father himself, God Almighty the “ONE” and only true God.
Revelation 19:13 - “And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”
This Word, or Loʹgos, was God’s only direct creation, the only begotten son of God, and evidently the close associate of God to whom God was speaking when he said: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness.” (Genesis 1:26) Hence John continued, saying: “This one was in the beginning with God. All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence.”—John 1:2, 3.
Other scriptures plainly show that the Word was God’s agent through whom all other things came into existence.
“Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom all things come and for whom we exist; and one Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, through whom were created all things and through whom we have our being”. (CJB: 1Corinthians 8:6)
The Word, God’s Son, was “the beginning of the creation by God,” otherwise described as “the firstborn of all creation; because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and upon the Earth.”—Revelation 3:14 / Colossians 1:15-17.
John 3:16,36 / Acts 9:20 / John 5:28-29 / John 14:16 / 1 Timothy 2:5-6 / Hebrews 2:9 / Luke 3:22 / Matthew 24:36
Why in the CJB is Adonai (in all caps) used when speaking about God Almighty the Father? ~ Jews who desire not to misuse the personal name of God Almighty The Father, (who is one, singular, and not the Son) “Yahweh” say rather “Adonai” when they see the four letters of Gods name (YHWH) in the Hebrew. This is because they view Gods name as too sacred to speak aloud. So they use Adonai in place of. Yeshua (Jesus, Gods Son) however never taught us not to speak Gods personal name, He taught us all to ‘glorify His Fathers Name’! (John 12:28).
TRAVEL THE WORLD & FOLLOW THE TRAIL OF THE HISTORY & Life OF YESHUA:
One of the first Christian Churches (First Century 230 A.D. - 2,000 years ago) is found right in Jerusalem, Israel. It amazes me that some of the very first ancient early Christian Churches I find are still in tact today. They were built to endure thousands of years and made of stone. History shows that only 70 Christians lived and practiced their faith in these underground churches and only left when Christianity was embraced by the Roman rulers. These underground stone churches were used to protect the early Christians. This is a church where Jesus mother Mary would have been sitting in.

The Life Of JesuS (YESHUA):
This biblical movie is done beautifully while including the historical information from Jesus human life on earth. After watching this beautiful life story, you may also see what importance it holds in our lives today. Live as if you were to die tomorrow and learn as if you were to live forever, because that is the gift we are given through Jesus Christ, eternal life through Gods Son. Yahweh, our Abba Father promises and blesses all His children for all eternity, amen.

The Biblical Timeline:
Lets take a look into the biblical time period and dates:
The terms Anno Domini (A.D.) Latin for "in the year of the lord"; and Before Christ (B.C.); or (B.C.E.) meaning Before Common Era; are used to label or number years in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars.
There is no zero in this scheme, so the year A.D. 1 immediately follows the year 1 B.C. / 1 Century = 100 Years. / 1 Millennium = 1000 Years. / 1 Day for God = 1,000 years for human life on earth. God lives in eternity, outside time, we live in earthly time with day and night. The moon and the sun were created by God as his time clock calendar for all the earth.
We will never know the exact age of the Earth, nor does it really matter as long as we understand who created it. God Almighty, Yahweh, tells us he created the earth at “maturity level”. Many scientists today argue the earth's age, but the ancient scrolls base life on the beginning of the first humans, that being Adam and Eve. Adam was also created in maturity, and so were the very first animals that God created, according to the ancient biblical and prophetic scriptures. The Bible only gives us what we need to know, some things are just not of our concern at this time, and God knows that, He gives us only what we need to know for life on earth which He created.
Yeshua (Jesus) was NOT born on December 25, which is the worship of the false pagan sun god; Nimrod. The Roman Catholic Church created, on their own, “Christ Mass” to assimilate Yeshua to the pagan sun god that was always “reincarnated” each December 25th on the winter solstice in astrology. “Tammuz” was this pagan sun-god also known as “Baal.” God showed this to Ezekiel in Ezekiel 8 that they were worshiping this pagan sun god in Israel and he said it is an Abomination!
1) Yeshua many believe was born on the Feast of Trumpets on September 11th 3 B.C. and he was conceived on Hanukkah “Chanukah” (meaning dedication) December 13th 4 B.C. This can be validated through scripture by calculating the time of birth of his cousin, John the Baptist who was exactly 6 months older (See Luke 1).
John the Baptist’s Father Zechariah was a Priest in the Temple after the division of “Abijah.” In 2nd Chronicles 24 we find what time of year the division of Abijah would serve in the temple. Therefore when the angel Gabriel announced to Zechariah that his wife Elisabeth would conceive a son, we know what time of year that was and from that we know when John the Baptist was conceived. So we count 271 days forward (normal gestation period) and we find that John the Baptist was born on Passover in 3 B.C. We count 180 days (6 months) forward and we find that Yeshua was born on a Holy Day of Israel called “Yom Teruah”(Day of Blowing Trumpets) (See Leviticus 23). This day is also the “Head of the Year” in Hebrew it is “Rosh” (Head) Ha’Shanah (The Year)
2) Yeshua Birth (Nisan 1) between 6 B.C. and 4 B.C. using the Hebrew Jewish Calendar Year. Yeshua was born from Mary during the Feasts of The First Fruits in the spring March-April. OR Tishrei 1, Sep - Oct, season Autumn. The birth took place in the town of Bethlehem of Judea, (present day Israel; The Middle East) about six miles south of Jerusalem.
(Luke 2:7-9 / Exodus 12:3-5, 40:2 / Isaiah 60:3,6 / Matthew 2:1; 2:2 / Luke 1:5-9 / Romans 6:4 / 1Chronicles 24 division of the priests.)
Nisan 1: The very beginning of the Hebrew new year. Nisan means beginning.
Herod The Great died around 4BC.
Daniel 2:48 - Daniel gave the countdown of the Messiahs coming.
Lambs are born during the spring season of March to April. Jesus was the symbol of the lamb his father sent.
Jesus was born a Jew. A Jew is any person whose mother was a Jew; or any person who has gone through the formal process of conversion to Judaism. From studying DNA we believe that Jesus had olive skin tone; not white nor black. We will never know exactly what Jesus looked like because Gods importance for him in scripture was not to be told by appearance and images but by his actions and prophecies fulfilled. God doesn't want any images made so as to not have persons worshiping an image, but to worship only in spirit and in truth.
According to the New Testament, Joseph and Mary were living in Bethlehem of Judea at the time of Jesus birth.
So why is the actual date of our Messiahs Birth also of importance? Because Yeshua's real date of birth validates prophecy! The Bible tells us in Revelation 18:10, that “the testimony of Yeshua is the spirit of prophecy.” Now by understanding all this, lets look at the time-line of “Daniel’s 70th Week” from the “going forth of the command to rebuild Jerusalem” (Daniel 9:24) which was the decree given by King Cyrus in 457 B.C. There are 70 weeks x 7 years = 490 years for the length of this prophecy. The word “weeks” here in Daniel 9:24-27 is the Hebrew word “Shebuah” which means a “seven year period” hence “Seventy Weeks” means 70 times 7, which is the exact same formula that Yeshua gave his disciples when they asked him “how many times we should forgive our brother?” In other words 70 X 7 = FORGIVENESS!
When the 490 year prophecy is completed, there will be a completeness to God’s atonement for sin towards all of mankind. Some will receive it and some will reject it, but it will be finished in the earth!
Okay, so lets add 486.5 years to 457 B.C. and we come to the exact date that Yeshua died on the cross which was Wednesday, April 3rd, in 30 A.D. This day was the Passover on the Jewish Calendar. There is no such thing as “Good Friday.”Good Friday discredits Yeshua and makes it appear that he lied when he said he would be “three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Good Friday puts him in the heart of the earth only 1 day, not 3.
The day after his crucifixion, was an annual Sabbath called the “Feast of Unleavened Bread” and then 2 days later was the weekly Sabbath.
From these dates we find that Yeshua fulfilled the first 3.5 years of Daniel’s 70th week leaving only 3.5 years to complete of this 490 year prophecy. The last half of Daniel’s 70th Week (3.5 years), picks up with the antichrist setting up the “Abomination of Desolation” in the 3rd Jewish Temple, and this is when the “Tribulation” period actually begins. (Matthew 24:15-21) Concurrently, the “two witnesses” in Revelation 11 have a ministry that lasts for 1,260 days (3.5 years).
Israel Harvest Times Summer Figs Date: Elul 6th month (Aug/Sep)
The Figs would be ripe to eat from August to October. (Figs: Jer 24:1–2)
Jesus began his 3.5 year baptized ministry in Galilee which is a region crossed by the 33rd parallel in Northern Israel at age 30 in 27 A.D. Jesus Christ was crucified in an earthly death between the spring of 30 A.D. (1st Century) at the age of 33 crucified on April 3rd at 3pm; rose from the dead early on the third day.
Jesus Crucified: Feast of Passover on the Full Moon (which means fulfillment). Preperation Day, Passover / Nisan 14, 30 A.D. Nisan usually falls in March–April on the Gregorian calendar. The name of the month is of Assyrian-Babylonian origin; in the Torah it is called the month of the Abib. (Exodus 13:4) (Esther 3:7) (Daniel 9:24-27)
Nissan 14 was also commonly called Preparation Day because no yeast could be used during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. To celebrate Jesus death, crucifixion Passover that is once a year in the month of April usually falling around the first week of April, with a full moon.
Easter has nothing to do with Jesus and is actually a Pagan holiday. It is filled with customs made by man alone and not by God. God never weaves false with truth, he is only truth.
The Day of Atonement Tishri 10, was a special Sabbath, and the holiest day in the Old Covenant Jewish calendar year. The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "On exactly the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement" (Lev 23:26-28)
April - Nisan 15th 3786 - Around Nisan 15th, John began his ministry, preparing the way for Jesus.
*All of the dates used here are based on the most factual biblical information and according to the Jewish Calendar and Jewish Festivals during that time period.
Tishrei in the Jewish calendar is the first month of the civil and seventh of the religious year, usually coinciding with parts of September and October. It is a time of renewing the relationship with the One, The Wholly One of Being. As the "seventh" month of the Jewish Year, Tishrei is the month of the spirit, just as the seventh day is the day of spirit, Shabbat. The word “Seven” comes from the word Savah, which means full or fullness. Tishrei begins with Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur and continues with Sukkot and Simhat Torah.
The number 7 is one of the most significant numbers of the Bible because it is the number of spiritual perfection. It is the number which is stamped on every work of God. Seven occurs 287 times in the scriptures. (287 = 7x41)
Today, the little town of Bethlehem lies in the limestone hill country of the Holy Land about six miles south of Jerusalem. The Church of the Nativity, the oldest Christian church in daily use, marks the traditional spot of Jesus' birth and is considered one of the holiest sites. The birthplace of Jesus attracts some 2 million visitors each year. Although small, Bethlehem has a rich history in the Bible. It is called "the city of David" (Luke 2:4) because it was the hometown of that mighty monarch of Israel.
The Biblical Story of Jesus Death & Resurrection - Matthew 27:1-64
The apostle John wrote: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
WHAT IS MEANT BY THE CROSS SYMBOL?
Jesus life and death hold holy symbolic meaning. Jesus died with the entire weight of the world on his shoulders. Can you even imagine that? Most of us can't even deal with our own personal issues let alone the entire worlds. The Cross is found all over the earth as a symbol for Christs life and death for all of humankind. It is also used as a symbol for Christianity. When you see a cross sign you know a Church is near by or a place for worship. When people wear a cross its usually worn as a reminder of who their faith is actually in. Just like the tradition where woman wear a wedding ring as a symbol showing that they are married. (Wedding rings are not actually found in the Bible because they were started by Pagan customs, but most people accept and follow the ancient tradition.) Christians can wear a cross as a symbol for their faith, however God doesn't approve of giving ‘worship’ to any carved image or symbol. Why, because all praise and worship goes directly to God who gave his son Jesus as a ransom for all humankind. It’s not to worship an image, but to worship the one and only true God. An actual image or sculpture of an image does nothing, its simply a symbol and nothing more. It does not have life in it, nor can it do anything. A symbol is simply a representation of something. Just like a logo is used to represent something.
(Matthew 7:1)
Christians use the cross because Jesus death was on a cross. How do we know this, well lets look at the ancient biblical scrolls.
Matthew 27:37 - "And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
At Jesus death there was a sign over his head, not placed over his hands, but directly over his head. The symbolic sign nailed into the torture steak over Jesus head makes a cross symbol.
John 20:25 - "The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe."
In John we see that "nails" plural were in his hands. So we know that both Jesus hands had nails in them. If both his hands had nails then his hands would be apart and not together over his head, but separate from each other. This is another clue as to how we know his hands were not above his head but stretched out with nails in each hand.
John 21:18 - "I assure you and most solemnly say to you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and walked wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and arms, and someone else will dress you, and carry you where you do not wish to go.”
Stretched out means to hold out. Here we see that Jesus hands on the cross or torture stake would be stretched outward. When we stretch our arms out what do we do, we stretch them outward from each other as fas as they can go. So we know Jesus hands and arms were most likely stretched out wide on a cross beam. If they were above his head the scriptures would most likely tell us instead: stretched above.
The Bible uses the Greek word xyʹlon as a synonym for stau·rosʹ. (Acts 5:30; 1 Peter 2:24) This word means “wood,” “timber,” “stake,” or “tree.”
JOHN 19:16-22 (CJB)
“So they took charge of Yeshua. 17 Carrying the stake himself he went out to the place called Skull (in Aramaic, Gulgolta). 18 There they nailed him to the stake along with two others, one on either side, with Yeshua in the middle. 19 Pilate also had a notice written and “posted on the stake”; it read,
YESHUA FROM NATZERET
THE KING OF THE JEWS
20 Many of the Judeans read this notice, because the place where Yeshua was put on the stake was close to the city; and it had been written in Hebrew, in Latin and in Greek. 21 The Judeans’ head cohanim therefore said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but ‘He said, “I am King of the Jews.”’” 22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
So here we see that Yeshua was on a stake, which is simply wood. It doesn’t say the shape it was in because it was simply wood. When the sign was posted on it most likely a sign would read across the top of the wood stake so all could read it clearly. This would make a T shape or cross shape.
WHAT IS GODS DIVINE NAME?
Gods divine name Yahweh - YaHoVaH actually appears 6,828 times in the Hebrew and Greek scriptures.
The meaning of the Hebrew name YHWH – God’s name – is “the Self-existent,” “He who becometh,” or “the becoming one.” (YHVH)
YHVH is written as YeHVaH
Gods Hebrew name or words in Exodus 3:14, that most translate to: “I am that I am” are: ehyeh asher ehyeh which should be more accurately translated as “I will be what I will be” or translated, “I will become whatsoever I may become.” Gods self expression is an idiom, an expression that has a meaning. Then God gives his direct personal name along with great meaning. In English most pronounce Gods name as: Yahweh (Latin: Jehovah). (Learn More).
By using the translation “I will become whatsoever I may become,” we see the relationship of this phrase to Yahweh – “He who becometh.” They both use the word “become.” The use of ehyeh asher ehyeh in Exodus 3:14 was God’s way of assuring and pledging to Moses and Israel that God would become whatever they needed Him to become. Yahweh always protects his people and gives them what they need.
Remember the context of the passage in Exodus. The Israelites were crying day and night for deliverance. God was calling Moses to help lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses asked God – what is God’s name or what should he say to the Israelites? In God’s response, He provides a promise to Israel – He would become what they would need Him to become – in this case – their deliverer. This promise found in the name of God can be extended to the world of mankind. God will become what they need Him to become – an architect for the plan of salvation that will bring them back into harmony with Him. In the case of the heavenly church, God will be all we need to make our calling and election sure.
From its Hebrew roots Gods personal name has been translated; YHWH known as the Tetragrammaton. From Hebrew most pronounce Gods name today as Yahweh. From Latin many pronounce Gods name as Jehovah. The translation YAHWEH is directed to one supreme being and that is our most high and "only one true God". Most Bibles translate Gods name as LORD in all caps so you can tell the difference between who is God Almighty and who is Gods Son Jesus (Yeshua) who is the son of man, our messiah, king; often seen in lower caps as “Lord”.
The scriptures tell us to pray to God the Father through His Son, Jesus. So as Christians we pray to the Father and end with; "in Jesus (Yeshua) name we pray". Everything goes through Jesus then to the Father, the one only true God. The name Yahweh refers to God’s self-existence. Yahweh is linked to how God described himself in Exodus 3:14.
Exodus 3:14-15 (CJB) “God said to Moshe, “Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh [I am/will be what I am/will be],” and added, “Here is what to say to the people of Isra’el: ‘Ehyeh [I Am or I Will Be] has sent me to you.’” 15 God said further to Moshe, “Say this to the people of Isra’el: ‘Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh [Adonai], the God of your fathers, the God of Avraham, the God of Yitz’chak and the God of Ya‘akov, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever; this is how I am to be remembered generation after generation.”
Some people render the four-letter Name YHWH as "Jehovah". The word "Jehovah" comes from the fact that ancient Jewish texts used to put the vowels of the Name "Adonai" (the usual substitute for YHVH) under the consonants of YHVH to remind people not to pronounce YHVH as written. A sixteenth century German Christian scribe, while transliterating the Bible into Latin for the Pope, wrote the Name out as it appeared in his texts, with the consonants of YHVH and the vowels of Adonai, and came up with the word JeHoVaH ("J" is pronounced "Y" in German), and the name stuck. Greek transcriptions indicated that YHWH should be pronounced Yahweh.
Jesus speaks at Matthew 6:9; "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name." - *Hallowed means regarded as Holy and Sacred. (Jesus has the same Father we do: Yahweh)
Exodus 3:15-16; Then God also said to Moses, “This is what you shall say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob (Israel), has sent me to you.’ This is My To know the names of God is to understand His many attributes and grasp the godly characteristic which the name denotes. God’s name is His self-revelation. Name forever, and this is My memorial [name] to all generations. 16 Go, gather the elders (tribal leaders) of Israel together, and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, “I am indeed concerned about you and what has been done to you in Egypt.”
Excerpts from the Psalms in a Dead Sea Scroll dated to the first half of the first century C.E. The text is in the style of the Hebrew letters commonly used after the Babylonian exile, but the Tetragrammaton appears repeatedly in distinctive ancient Hebrew letters
God’s name at Genesis 15:2 in William Tyndale’s translation of the Pentateuch, 1530
CEPHER Bible video: link about Gods name being removed from the Bible 7,000 times.
WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT:
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GODS ENERGY, POWER, IN DIRECT ACTION
Genesis 1:2 / Micah 3:8 / Luke 1:35 / Psalm 139:7 / Matthew 3:17
God Almighty Yahweh Holy Spirit energy is within all things good and Gods Holy Spirit energy can have great presence in our everyday lives when we accept, believe, and have faith in Him. When we do good things we also feel Gods glorious Holy Spirit within us. When we step away from God, we miss Gods Holy Spirit presence in our lives. When we follow God in spirit and in truth, we receive Gods blessings through his Holy Sprit and we feel good, happy, and complete. God made all of creation using energy, its within all things good and makes up all things.
Gods Holy Spirit works through every single good thing. God Almighty has extreme universal power, he is above all things. Therefore his power comes through and does everything using his Holy Spirit, energy force spirit in action. This is not a spirit or energy without substance. It is like Gods spirit hands touching and directing everything but used via energy sources and force because God is within all things. Gods Holy Spirit is not a person like us, it is Gods life force of all things powerful. God has no beginning nor no end, God can not die either, God is eternal. God speaks powerfully in scripture through light in many examples. Everything God Almighty creates is by his life energy.
JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD / "THE SON OF MAN"
Jesus Christ (Yeshua) is Gods (Yahweh) son, our Promised Messiah, and our King.
"Yehoshua" - Jesus Original Name, Hebrew Translation
John 4:25-26; 8:23 / Matthew 17:5; 3:17; 20:28; 24:36 / Colossians 1:15-21 / Proverbs 8:22-30 / 1 Peter 3:18
The apostle John repeatedly describes the Lord Jesus Christ as the only-begotten Son of God. (John 1:14; 3:16; 18; 1John 4:9) This is not in reference to his human birth or to him as just the man Jesus. As the Loʹgos, or Word, “this one was in the beginning with God,” even “before the world was.” (John 1:1 2; 17:5, 24) At that time while in his prehuman state of existence, he is described as the “only-begotten Son” whom his Father sent “into the world." - 1John 4:9
He is described as having “a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son from a father,” the one residing “in the bosom position with the Father.” (John 1:14, 18) It is hard to think of a closer, more confidential, or more loving and tender relationship between a father and his son than this.
Bosom: as an illustration, Jesus spoke of a beggar named Lazarus who was carried at his death to “the bosom position of Abraham,” and John refers to Jesus as being in “the bosom position with the Father.” (Luke 16:22; 23; John 1:18) The expression “bosom position” alludes to one’s reclining in front of another person. / The apostle John, whom Jesus dearly loved, “was reclining in front of Jesus’ bosom,” and in such a position he “leaned back upon the breast of Jesus” and privately asked him a question at the celebration of the last Passover. (John 13:23; 25; 21:20)
The angels of heaven are sons of God even as Adam was a “son of God.” (Genesis 6:2; Job 1:6; 38:7; Luke 3:38) But the Loʹgos, later called Jesus, is “the only-begotten Son of God.” (John 3:18) He is the only one of his kind, the only one whom God himself created directly without the agency or cooperation of any creature. He is the only one whom God his Father used in bringing into existence all other creatures. He is the firstborn and chief one among all other angels (Col 1:15, 16, Hebrews 1:5,6) which angels the Scriptures call “godlike ones” or “gods.” (Psalm 8:4,5) Therefore, according to some of the oldest and best manuscripts, the Lord Jesus Christ is properly described as “the only-begotten god [Gr., mo·no·ge·nesʹ the·osʹ].” (John 1:1)
A few translations, in support of the Trinitarian “God the Son” concept, would invert the phrase mo·no·ge·nesʹ the·osʹ and render it as “God only begotten.” But W. J. Hickie in his Greek-English Lexicon to the New Testament (1956, p. 123) says it is hard to see why these translators render mo·no·ge·nesʹ hui·osʹ as “the only begotten Son,” but at the same time translate mo·no·ge·nesʹ the·osʹ as “God only begotten,” instead of “the only begotten God.”
Paul referred to Isaac as Abraham’s “only-begotten son” (Hebrews 11:17), even though Abraham also fathered Ishmael by Hagar as well as several sons by Keturah. (Genesis 16:15; 25:1; 2; 1Ch 1:28; 32) God’s covenant, however, was established only through Isaac, Abraham’s only son by God’s promise, as well as the only son of Sarah. (Genesis 17:16-19) Furthermore, at the time Abraham offered up Isaac, he was the only son in his father’s household. No sons had yet been born to Keturah, and Ishmael had been gone for some 20 year—no doubt was married and head of his own household. (Genesis 22:2)
So from several viewpoints in regard to the promise and the covenant, the things about which Paul was writing to the Hebrews, Isaac was Abraham’s only-begotten son. Hence, Paul parallels “the promises” and the “only-begotten son” with “‘your seed’ . . . through Isaac.” (Heb 11:17, 18) Whether Josephus had a similar viewpoint or not, he too spoke of Isaac as Abraham’s “only son.”—Jewish Antiquities, I, 222 (xiii, 1).
The Lamb represents Jesus Christ as both suffering and triumphant; it is typically a sacrificial animal. It appears at John 1:29, where John the Baptist sees Jesus and exclaims, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." (see also: John 1:36; Isaiah 53:10; Romans 8:3; Hebrews 10)
Jesus lived in heaven before God sent him down to be born on earth to experience then both earthly life and heavenly life. God his father, sent Jesus to earth to save all mankind from sin. Jesus paid the ransom sacrifice for all mankind's sin. Jesus also helped in the creation of earth and human life in the beginning. Jesus was created first directly by God Almighty Yahweh and is therefore appropriately called God’s “only-begotten” Son. (John 1:14) Jesus served as God’s Spokesman, so Jesus is also called “the Word", the living word.
Jesus does not know all things however, the Father does. Mathew 24:36 Jesus is speaking: “but of the day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.”
John 17:5; Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory and majesty that I had with You before the world existed.
God, Yahweh, transferred the life of Jesus from heaven to the womb of Mary by means of his Holy Spirit. So Jesus was born human without the aid of a needed humanly father. (We also have proof of this today from the only living DNA blood found ever and in Jerusalem; dried blood is dead blood) Yahweh is his father and will always be. To have a son, you must have a father, just as we have on earth. God created us in his image. Angels announced Jesus birth to some local shepherds, who were living outdoors at night as they kept watch over their flocks. (Luke 2:8-12) Thus, Jesus was born, not in the depths of winter, but in early October, when the weather was still warm and before the cold months began. Later, Mary and her husband, Joseph, took Jesus to their home in Nazareth and raised him there. Joseph cared for Jesus as his adopted son. (Matthew 1:18-23).
When Jesus was 30 years old, he was baptized, and God publicly announced that Jesus was His Son. Then Jesus began the work that God had sent him to do.
Matthew 3:16-17; After Jesus was baptized, He came up immediately out of the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he (John) saw the The descent of the Holy Spirit identified Jesus in His humanity for His ministry as the Messiah. Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him (Jesus), 17 and behold, [This is the first instance recorded in the Gospels of the Father speaking audibly to His Son] voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased and delighted!” (Also see: Matt 17:5; Mark 1:11; 9:7; Luke 3:22; 9:35; John 12:28.)
God sent Jesus to teach people the truth. Jesus taught about God’s Kingdom, a government in heaven that will bring peace to all the earth. He provided the hope of everlasting life. (John 4:14;18:36, 37)
Jesus also taught people many things about finding real happiness. (Matthew 5:3;6:19-21) He taught by example. For instance, he showed how to do God’s will even in difficult circumstances. When he was mistreated, he did not retaliate. (1Peter 2:21-24)
Jesus taught his followers self-sacrificing love. He had enjoyed many privileges living in heaven with his Father, yet he humbly obeyed his Father and came to earth to live among mankind. No one could give us a finer example of love than Jesus. (John 15:12, 13;Philippians 2:5-8).
Jesus’ first-century disciples said his name quite differently from the way most Christians do today. To Jewish Christians, the name Jesus was probably pronounced Ye·shuʹa‛. And the title “Christ” was Ma·shiʹach, or “Messiah.” Greek-speaking Christians called him I·e·sousʹ Khri·stosʹ, and Latin-speaking Christians Ieʹsus Chriʹstus. Under inspiration, the Greek translation of his name was recorded in the Bible, showing that first-century Christians followed the sensible course of using the form of the name common in their language.
WHY DID JESUS DIE?
Jesus, who was a perfect man, did not die for his own sins. He died for our sins. Jesus’ death makes it possible for us to enjoy everlasting life and be blessed by God. (1 Peter 3:18.)
Jesus did not need to die for his own sins, he never committed any.
Instead, Jesus died for the sins of others. God expressed extraordinary love for mankind by sending his Son to die for us. Jesus also showed love for us by obeying his Father and giving his life for our sins. (John 3:16 / Romans 5:18,19) When on earth, Jesus cured the sick, raised the dead, and rescued people in peril. Gods Holy Spirit or active force worked through Jesus to perform these miracles. Jesus was always humble in giving all credit to his Heavenly Father.
Jesus was sent to earth as a ransom for all mankind's sin.
Adam was created “in God’s image.” (Genesis 1:27) Yahweh gave Adam qualities like His own, including love, wisdom, justice, and power.
God gave Adam free will. Adam and Eve were both not created as robots they were created with free will just as we are each born with free will. We are all given a choice at birth to choose our own life path way. This is the only way we also learn right from wrong. If God never gave us a born choice we would have never been able to learn to truly love and honor him either because we would have just been made to do it at birth. If someone tells you they love you, do you want them to just tell you that because that is what you want to hear, no. We want others to tell us they love us because they really mean it and its filled within their heart and mind. We all want people to be honest with us and not forced into it.
Adam and Eve were mislead by Satan himself. They chose on their own not to listen to God. Just like a parent would do for a child in protection, God told them what not to do. However they did it anyway and there are always consequences to things we should not be doing. When you break a law what happens, you go to jail. Then you hope someone bails you out. Someone must pay when they commit an act that is unrighteous and wrong. Adam and Eve ate of the fruit in which God had told them in love not to take of. Adam and Eve covered themselves after they committed the sin. They were ashamed of what they did after they did it. They realized they were deceived and had said yes to disobeying God on their own. Eve blamed the serpent, and Adam blamed Eve. So they had to reap what they sewed and God had to fix it all. God cast Satan out, and He told Adam and Eve what would occur next. God had warned all of them and none of them listened, therefore their offspring also inherited sin. Many today inherit things from their parents, well we all inherited sin and death, because we ALL come from Adam and Eve, as the first human pair. (Genesis 3).
JESUS DNA FIND 2017:
THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST: New Discovery?
A team of research scientists in Tel Aviv did a genetic analysis from a blood sample widely believed to have belonged to Jesus, concluding that Jesus’ biological father was ‘non-human’. The blood sample was discovered on the archeological dig of Ron Wyatt and his team. Upon completion of their analysis, the lab technicians asked Ron whose blood he had submitted for study, and he replied, "this is the blood of your Messiah". The scientists involved purportedly converted to Christianity as a result of their findings. When scientists tested the dried, two-thousand-year-old "dead" blood, to their shock, they were able to analyze its chromosomes—which is only possible with living blood. Having 24 distinct chromosomes or 22 autosomes (mother's are duplicated) in addition to 2 (XY) chromosomes, the 22 autosomes of the mother are equal to the corresponding 22 autosomes of the father (one to one) and the X chromosome of the mother (XX) plus the "Y" sex chromosome given by father being (XY). In total, 2 of His mother's autosomal chromosomes duplicated times 22, plus 1 (X) chromosome + 1 (Y) chromosome = 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes. Thus, His (Heavenly) Father's (Y) male chromosome determined only Jesus’ maleness, while His physical characteristics would have been determined solely by His Mother. Human cells normally have 46 chromosomes. These are actually 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes. In each pair of chromosomes, one of the pair is from the mother and the other member is from the father. Therefore, 23 chromosomes come from the mother and 23 from the father. In each set of 23, 22 chromosomes are autosomal and one is sex-determining. The sex-determining ones are the X chromosome and the Y chromosome. Females are XX, so they can only contribute an X chromosome to their offspring, whereas males are XY, which allows them to contribute either an X or a Y. If they contribute an X, the child is female, whereas if they contribute a Y, the child is male. The fascinating finding in this blood was that instead of 46 chromosomes, there were only 24. There were 22 autosomal chromosomes, one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. This evidences that the person to whom this blood belonged to had a mother but no human father, because the normal contribution of paternal chromosomes is missing. The DNA of Jesus is 96% from Mary rather than 50% from Mary as would be normal. So, theoretically, the Holy Spirit had to have inseminated a virginal Mary with the "Y" chromosome of the non-human God of Abraham.
