GINOLJC, to all.
The Singularity of God's Plurality, Step III
(The Lord Jesus Return as the Holy Spirit)
Supportive Scripture, 2 Corinthians 3:14 "But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ." 2 Corinthians 3:15 "But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart." 2 Corinthians 3:16 "Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away." 2 Corinthians 3:17 "
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." 2 Corinthians 3:18 "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,
are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."
2 Corinthians 3:17a, (the "
Lord" is that "
Spirit"). one cannot get any plainer than this.
Question Time, "Is the Lord Jesus in his glorious state, (per John 17:5) in his resurrection ...... the Holy Spirit who came on the day of Pentecost?" yes, and a resounding YES.
Scripture #1. John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever”. but here is the revelation as to who CAME. Listen closely, two verses later. John 14:18 "I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you”. JUST TWO VERSES LATER HE TELLS US WHO IS COMING, YES, COMING, or RETURNING. he himself in Spirit, NOT in flesh as in his Parousia, which is to come, but in Spirit to comfort us. let's see this coming/return clearly from the scriptures.
Scripture #2 and #3. Matthew 16:28" Verily I say unto you,
There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom”. and Mark 9:1" And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,
That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power”. STOP, this is audience relevant, meaning the people standing there at that time will witness the coming/returning of the Lord Jesus in HIS, HIS, HIS, Kingdom. now there are a few things we must reveal about this COMING, or rathe RETURN of the Lord Jesus in Spirit.
A. the KINGDOM of GOD, Who and What is it? Scripture, Romans 14:17 "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." ok, one more scripture as to who and what the Kingdom of God is. Luke 17:20 "And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said,
The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:" Luke 17:21 "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there!
for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." so, without a doubt the KINGDOM of GOD is in or will Dwell in us. we know that the Holy Spirit dwells in us but notice what the Lord Jesus said, " The kingdom of God cometh not with observation". did anyone see the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost? NO, only the Manifestation in the spiritual Gifts. so this return is just that ... A RETURN .... and not his coming Parousia, which EVERY EYE WILL SEE HIM, (per Revelation 1:7). but his second coming or his Parousia, which all wait for is still to come. supportive scripture, Hebrews 9:28 "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he
appear the second time without sin unto salvation." he "APPEARED" in flesh as a babe, per Luke chapter 2.
now, back to the return of the Lord Jesus on Pentecost. Remember he said, "There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see
the Son of man coming in his kingdom” and the Lord Jesus do not lie. those scriptures above that make that statement TRUE, those scriptures have puzzle a many of Christians for years. well, that puzzlement is now revealed, and put in place, they reveal the plain truth. here was the dilemma of those verses. a. if the Lord Jesus have not returned in power, even unto today, (because many are still waiting for his return, in glorified flesh). then there are some very, very old people walking around, even unto today. that idea is not biblical, because no where in the bible is it written after the Lord Jesus spoke theses word that is it recorded that any man lived at least 2,000 years after these saying. so this nullifies anyone still walking around as a human, with blood, for over 2,000 years. even pre, and post-flood before or after the fall of Adam and Eve in sin, no one made it to a thousand. so again, that theory is out. which means that what the Lord Jesus said is TRUTH. so, he had to return before some at that time ... DIED.
B. Who is this KINGDOM? as we said, the Lord Jesus, and as the COMFORTER, he MEDIATES, and is the ADVOCATE in this Kingdom, for he is KING.
Let's carefully and fully explain this two fold return of this "ONE PERSON, JESUS THE Lord, the Son of man". what do we mean, two fold? his return is in two parts. the first of his two fold return is in Spirit, and this return happen, as said on the day of Pentecost. with this first of his two fold return happening before some of them standing there died. this return was in power, meaning in Spirit, (the Holy Spirit). yes, the Lord Jesus is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, for he is the truth, (the Word of God), the light and the way. again, John 14:18 "I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you”. this was directed to/at his disciples, and he came to them as he said he would. he came in Spirit. so how do we know this? what did the Lord Jesus said after his resurrection? listen, Matthew 28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" Matthew 28:20 "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." this is the key question in understanding our Lord's return, and his diversity in the ECHAD of ONE PERSON. he is with us how? in Spirit, as Luke 17:21b clearly states, "for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." this is another eureka moment in history, as with Moses asking God what is his name. Notice in John 14:21 "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him,
and will manifest myself to him." the Lord Jesus said that he will
manifest himself to them. here is how he manifested himself, in (POWER). Acts 2:1 "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance”. this is the manifestation that Judas asked about in John 14, and the Lord himself said that he would
manifest himself. notice, Judas asked, “
Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?”. again, notice Judas said, “unto us (them, the disciples, PRESENT TENSE), as was it with those standing, and would not taste death. here’s how the Lord Jesus manifested himself to his disciples and not the world. the manifestation of Christ is in the Spiritual “GIFTS” of the Holy Spirit. these Spiritual gifts was given on the day of Pentecost, and are listed in the scriptures, 1 Corinthians 12:7" But the
manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal”, and continue verses 8-11 . "But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal”. there’s that manifestation that Judas asked about, and what the Lord said that he would do, John 14:18 "I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you." and he did just exactly as he said he would do. he came in Spirit, the “Comforter”.
Now another Revelation on the Lord Jesus as the Comforter, the Holy Spirit the Same One Person. if the Lord Jesus would have showed up in flesh/with blood, then the NEW COVENANT would be null and void. WHY? scripture, Hebrews 9:16 "For where a testament is, there must also of necessity
be the death of the testator." Hebrews 9:17 "
For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth." this is why he came in Spirit.... WITHOUT BLOOD". this is why we take the Lord supper, ....... "To show his death". for if he would have return alive in flesh with blood, then we all would be lost and no redemption, and no salvation. it's amazing how the scriptures just harmonize in TRUTH. this is why we must study to show thyself approve unto God and not approved of men.
in conclusion. as we have already presented that the Lord Jesus is the Holy Spirit, the same one person, but now we see it in his RETURN as the Holy Spirit. KNOW YOUR BIBLE, THE TRUTH OF GOD. Amen.
