Of course, His Father sent Him into this world. "Let there be Light". By Him was everything created, at the Will of His father.
Is. 48:
16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, "hath sent me". 17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD "thy God" which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the "way" that thou shouldest go.
The same "way of the Lord" that you reject, and demean and belittle anyone who would strive to Obey Him. The Same "way" you preach to the world, that anyone who strives to enter, is a pious, self-righteous, Legalist, trying to earn salvation by his works.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened "to my commandments"! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
Where you go off the deep end, is rejecting the Christ's sayings. And rejecting that this same Christ
became a mortal human, in the person of Jesus. And that HE overcame Sin and Temptation, by accessing powers
that HE withheld from all other humans, then gave Himself glory for doing what any GOD could do, then made Himself out to be the first human to be raised from the dead, when you preach HE was God and couldn't die in the first place.
John 6:
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
This would include Abel, Noah, Abraham, Caleb, Joshua, David, Meshack., etc., Yes?
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
This would include Abel, Noah, Abraham, Caleb, Joshua, David, Meshack., etc., Yes?
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will "of him that sent me".
When did HE come down from Heaven Civic? Will you answer?
"
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
John 8:
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have "the light of life".
This would include Abel, Noah, Abraham, Caleb, Joshua, David, Meshack., etc., Yes?
Is this not the Same "Light" that spoke to Abraham, to Moses?
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
This would include Abel, Noah, Abraham, Caleb, Joshua, David, Meshack., etc., Yes?
40 And this is the will "of him that sent me", that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
This would include Abel, Noah, Abraham, Caleb, Joshua, David, Meshack., etc., Yes? Didn't Abraham "See the Son" and believe?
Who gave His Father's Laws to Noah? To Abraham" To Moses? Who created the Temporary Priesthood Law that was to be in place until the man Jesus should come?
Whose Feasts did Jesus Promote, if not His Own.
How I wish you would become renewed in the spirit of your mind, and ask yourself, whose voice "
say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart,
No evil shall come upon you".
Where did He come from you ask ?
The Sons pre existence in John’s gospel. There are dozens of other scriptures in other places verifying the Eternal existence of the Son.
John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.
All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
John 1:14
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory
These verses in John’s prologue reveal the pre existence of the Eternal Word/Son who was God and became flesh. He was the Creator of all things. Nothing came into existence apart from Him. He is before everything that has a beginning.
John 1:15
15 John bore witness of Him, and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has a higher rank than I,
for He existed before me.'"
John 1:30
"This is He on behalf of whom I said, 'After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I,
for He existed before me.'
John the Baptist was 6 months older than Jesus Christ. So it is impossible for Christ to be before him unless Jesus pre existed.
John 3:13
No one has ever gone into heaven
except the one who came from heaven — the Son of Man.
Again we see the pre existence of the Son and where He declares that He came from heaven to earth.
John 3:17
"For God did not
send the Son into the worldto judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him.
This verse shows the Son was sent from heaven by the Father to the earth.
John 6:38
For I have come down from heaven, not to do
my own will but the will of him who sent me.
Human beings come into existence when they are born into this world, but we surely do not come from Heaven.
John 8:23
"You are from beneath
I Am from above, you are of this world I Am not of this world"
John 8:58
Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you
, before Abraham was born, I Am."
Here we see that Jesus lets the Pharisees know that He existed as a person before Abraham was born. Once again we see Jesus claiming to be the Eternal God.
John 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am
come into the world: again,
I leave the world, and go to the Father.
John 17:1,5
“Father, the hour has come; glorify
Your Son, that
the Son may glorify You,
And now, Father,
glorify Me in your own presence with the glory that
I had with you before the world existed.
Here we see the Son declared that He shared the same Glory together with the Father prior to creation. This passage makes Him equal with the Father as the Eternal God. Below again we see His pre existence and in 17:25 Jesus again states the Father sent the Son into the world
John 17:24
"Father, I desire that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am, in order that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me; for
Thou didst love Me before the foundation of the world.
Jude 1:25
to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord,
before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
And
Colossians 1:17
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
These 2 verses say that he is before all things.
Revelation 22:16
"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
Here we see that Jesus is the offspring of David, yet he is also the root of David, which at appears to show existance before King David.
Luke 10:18
He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
Compare
Luke 10:18 with Revelation 12:1-10and it appears that Satan and his angels fell to the earth before the birth of Christ as a man. Now we know that Jesus was the Word and was with God in the beginning and was God-
John 1:1
Micah 5:2
"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times."
Micah 5:2 talks about someone who will rule Israel and who's origin is from ancient times. Who but Jesus could fit that description?
So the eternal Son was with God in the beginning. We also know from certain scriptures that Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath and it is assumed that Jesus gave the Law. We are also told in
Acts:7:30-39 that an Angel of the Lord appeared to Moses through whom God spoke and this is the same Angel who spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai and passed on the living words (The Law) to Moses.
30 "After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.
31 When he saw this, he was amazed at the sight. As he went over to look more closely, he heard the Lord's voice:
32 'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.'Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.
33 "Then the Lord said to him, 'Take off your sandals; the place where you are standing is holy ground.
34 I have indeed seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to set them free. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.'
35 "This is the same Moses whom they had rejected with the words, 'Who made you ruler and judge?' He was sent to be their ruler and deliverer by God himself, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36 He led them out of Egypt and did wonders and miraculous signs in Egypt, at the Red Sea and for forty years in the desert.
37 "This is that Moses who told the Israelites, 'God will send you a prophet like me from your own people.'
38 He was in the assembly in the desert, with the
angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers; and he received living words to pass on to us.
39 "But our fathers refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.
We are then told in
1 Corinthians 10:1-4
1 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea.
2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
3 They all ate the same spiritual food
4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
So is the Angel of the Lord, Christ? Yes indeed and I know that Christ accompanied Moses and the Israelites from the above scriptures.
Moving on we read the following in this passage.
Hebrews 1:1-2
1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by
his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things,
and through whom he made the universe.
Verse 2 is talking about
the son and it says that God made the universe through him, (in the context of him being a son). The word universe in this scripture means
Age.
aion {ahee-ohn'}
1) for ever, an unbroken age, perpetuity of time, eternity
2) the worlds, universe
3) period of time, age
We even use the word 'aion' (eon or aeon) in English to refer to Age. So if we read the last part of this verse as AGE, we get the following: appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the age.
Conclusion: one cannot know God apart from the Son. The Son reveals the Father. They are One. The Son is the visible God, the Father the invisible God whom know man has seen according to Jesus. That means it was not the Father seen and heard in the OT, it was the Son who is YHWH.
hope this helps !!!
