GINOLJC, to all.
The Oneness/ECHAD of God in the OT prophesy, and in the NT REVEALED.
OT: Zechariah 13:7 "Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones." this was fulfilled in Matthew 26:31 "Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad." he said this right after he institutes his holy supper.
but what's important about Zechariah 13:7 is this word "fellow". it is the Hebrew term,
H5997 עָמִית `amiyth (aw-meeth') n-m.
1. companionship.
2. (hence, concretely) a comrade or kindred man.
[from a primitive root meaning to associate]
KJV: another, fellow, neighbour.
definition #2. CONCRETELY... meaning God, (who is Spirit), SHARED EQUALLY, came in Flesh. hence the Matthew 26:31 scripture.
but the KJV can translate this term "FELLOW" as "ANOTHER". which clearly in the NT identify the "ECHAD" perfectly. supportive scripture. John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;" ANOTHER COMFORTER? yes, the EQUAL SHARE of himself in Flesh. for this ANOTHER is the same one Person EQUALLY SHARED, which is the Greek word, G243 ALLOS. Scripture, Philippians 2:6 "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:"
Form here means "NATURE", which God is, per John 4:24a. but the revelation is also in the term "WITH". and Isaiah the prophet clearly tells us that God the First/the LORD/Father is "ALSO" the Last/Lord/Son. and here in Philippians 2:6 we clearly see this ECHAD of God in Flesh, the "FELLOW" in Zechariah 13:7. and the term "ANOTHER", G243 ALLOS confirms this EQUAL SHARE... "WITH" God. just as John 1:1 clearly states also.
and this Fellow who is the ANOTHER of God Shared Equally in Flesh is clearly identified as the Son in flesh. which Revelation 22:16 clearly reveals. "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."
the "OFFSPRING?". yes, meaning AFTER DAVID, the Last Adam, which is the Greek term,
G1085 γένος genos (ǰe'-nos) n.
kin.
{abstract or concrete, literal or figurative, individual or collective}
[from G1096]
KJV: born, country(-man), diversity, generation, kind(-red), nation, offspring, stock
Root(s): G1096
KIN? yes, the KINSman who in Flesh is the KINSman REDEEMER in Zechariah 13:7 who intuited the Lord supper which we remember his redemptive work on the cross that SAVED us.
but the beauty of Revelation 22:16 is the revealing of the Lord Jesus the Christ as the First and the Last. for the ROOT means FIRST/BEGINNING/ALPHA, and the OFFSPRING means LAST/END/OMEGA, my God this is too easy not to understands.
this is clear as day, JESUS, who is God, is the Holy Spirit, who holds the Titles, Father, and Son, in TIME, PLACE, ORDER, and RANK. it can't get any clearer.
so, the ECHAD is in, TIME, PLACE, ORDER, and RANK which is the EQUAL SHARE of the Spirit... HIMSELF in Flesh, per Isaiah 63:5.
