The prophesied coming of the Messiah - Isaiah 53

Jesus, the literal Son of Jehovah, prophesied about in Isaiah 53

Isaiah 53 (ASV)

1 Who hath believed our message? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?

2 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3 He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.

8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who among them considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due?

9 And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.

11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Verse 1 of Isaiah 53 describes our Messiah as the arm of Jehovah, this can be interpreted as an extension or strength of Jehovah. The power of Jehovah was and is manifested in Jesus Christ his very Son. This power will be manifested to the whole earth when Christ returns in His Father's glory at the Second Advent.

1 Corinthians 1:24

 "but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God."

Verse 2 of Isaiah 53 describes our Saviour growing up from the baby born in Bethlehem to the Man who ministered to his brethren. Unlike the pictures and images we see of our Messiah, there was no beauty that men desired of Him. Our Saviour was not only humble in heart but also humble in appearance.

Verse 3 of Isaiah 53 describes the treatment our Messiah would receive from His own people. This verse is vital as many of the Jews mistakenly thought the Messiah would arrive with pomp and circumstance. Had they kept this prophecy in their hearts, they might have seen that Jesus who was meek and humble, fufilled the words in Isaiah 53. They wouldn't have expected the Messiah to reign as an earthly King.

Verse 4 of Isaiah 53 describes exactly Jesus ministry of bearing the weight of our griefs and sorrows. Reading the gospel accounts, one can easily see how Jesus took upon himself the heavy yokes of men and women. Many in his day considered him afflicted of Jehovah as they had the wrong understanding that the Messiah was supposed to come and live in earthly majesty rather than as a suffering servant. Remember Jesus words in Matthew 28:20:

"Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."

Verse 5 of Isaiah 53 decribes the death of our Lord Jesus Christ on the stake as He took our sins and bore them that we may be granted everlasting life. This everlasting life is given to those who believe in Him and his ransom sacrifice (John 3:16). By believing in the Messiah, we then can know and have a relationship with the Father Jehovah.

1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)

24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Verse 6 of Isaiah 53 says that we as sheep have gone astray and that Jehovah has laid on His Son, our iniquity. The purpose being to redeem us back to the Father. One being  (Jehovah), laying the iniquity of the strayed sheep, on another being (Jesus His Son). No trinity here or co equal gods but rather a Father-Son relationship of theocratic order. The Father in authority over the Son, lays on him the sins of the lost sheep in order to redeem them back unto Himself.

Verse 7 of Isaiah 53 describes how Jesus in humility did not plead his cause but rather chose to suffer on our behalf. He chose silence and willingness to be oppressed rather than fight back either verbally or physically.

Matthew 26:61-63 (KJV)

61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

63 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

The above passage says a lot about Jesus character. His confidence came not from men but from His Father Jehovah. He knew who He was and what the Father called him to do. Jesus felt no need to plead his case with men. Also, notice the question asked of him in verse 63 by the high priest "I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God"

See, the controversy about Jesus wasn't whether he was Almighty God, as our Saviour never claimed this. The controversy about Jesus, was him being the Son of God, the Christ meaning the anointed one. The Jews understood that "the Christ" referred not to God himself but rather God's anointed one. They understood that the claim from Jesus of  being the Son of God, didn't mean that he was claiming to be God Almighty himself but rather His Son and thereby being equal. Notice the high preist making reference to the living God and then asking Jesus to tell him if he was the living God's Son. The high priest didn't ask Jesus to tell him if he was God as Jesus never claimed that, but rather the Son of God.

Verse 8 of Isaiah 53 - Our Messiah suffered for the sins of others and this was undeserved but it was Jehovah's plan of redemption. Jesus was cut off from the land of the living (Daniel 9:26). The Messiah was taken from prison and judgment  (Matthew 27:11-26, Luke 23:1-25).

Daniel 9:26 (KJV)

26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 

Verse 9 of Isaiah 53 - Jesus was buried with the wicked, when he was on the stake it was in the middle of two criminals (Luke 23:33). Jesus had no deceit in his mouth and no sin in him (1 Peter 2:22). Joseph of Arimathaea the rich man asked for the body of Jesus and clothed him in clean linen.

Matthew 27:57-60 (KJV)

57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

1 John 3:5 (KJV)

5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

Verse 10 of Isaiah 53 - Jehovah was pleased to bruise His Son because it was how his people (Israel of the flesh and then spiritual Israel) would be redeemed. Jehovah made His Son's soul (living body) an offering for sin (John 1:29, 1 Corinthians 5:21). Obviously it was our Saviour's body that was impaled not a disembodied soul because there is no such thing. When the bible talks about the soul, the meaning is a living being not a spirit floating around. This is another passage that can be used to refute spiritualism which teaches that a disembodied soul survives death. After the offering for sin is made, (Acts 2:24) Jesus shall see his seed meaning descendants and offspring, a spiritual application can be made here. Jesus seed is the Israel of God made up of Jews and Gentiles who accept Him as their Saviour.
The results of many being justified due to the Messiah being obedient in death leads to a reward by Jehovah God as he prospers his Son and prolongs his days. Jesus was exalted to the right hand of the Father and is set on the throne with his father (Revelation 3:21). Jesus will reign with the Saints for a thousand years in Heaven. Jesus will sit on the throne with Jehovah in the eternal home of the Saint's  (New Jerusalem and the earth made new). He will also along with his Father be the Temple of the Holy City. See Revelation 21:22 amd Revelation 22:1.

John 1:29 (KJV)

29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Acts 2:24 (KJV)

24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

1 Corinthians 5:21 (KJV)

21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Verse 11 of Isaiah 53 - Jesus saw the travail of his soul  (living body) and was satisfied. Jehovah calls Jesus his righteous servant, that's right, not a co eternal, co equal member of a trinity god but He calls Jesus his servant meaning the Father has authority over His Son. Jesus is the chosen of God, the Messiah (anointed one) not Almighty God himself. Jesus bore the sins of many and

 "He saw the results of the travail of his soul (living body- my note) and was satisfied. Looking into eternity, He beheld the happiness of those who through his humiliation had received pardon and everlasting life. His ear caught the shout of the redeemed. He heard the ransomed ones singing the song of Moses and the Lamb. [AA 601]

1 John 2:1 (KJV)

2 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

We are exhorted here not to sin and that if we do, our advocate is Jesus Christ who is righteous. Who does Jesus Christ plead our case to? Himself? No! Jesus pleads our case to the Father another distinct person. The distinction between the Father and the Son here is clear. This shows a proper Father/Son relationship not a trinity.

Acts 13:38-39 (KJV)

38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

It's through Jesus that we have forgiveness of sins as he bore them on the stake. Once we come to faith in Jesus as the Son of God we then have him as our High Priest and mediator to advocate for us to His Father Jehovah.

Verse 12 of Isaiah 53 -  Because of our Saviour's obedience to his Father, he will be granted to rule as a King over all things and not only that but our Saviour will divide the spoil with us. During the heavenly millennium, we will reign with Christ and judge the angels and the nations (Revelation 20:4-6).

Revelation 1:5-6 (KJV)

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Look above and see that Jesus, who is the firstborn of the dead and the faithful witness of His Father Jehovah, has made us kings and priests unto God. Who is God according to this passage? Verse 6 clearly says that God is Jesus's Father. So how is Jesus the Almighty God if it clearly says that God is his very own Father. This destroys the trinity doctrine in fell swoop and proves that there is a theocratic order in the Godhead and that Jesus is the literal Son of God.

1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)

9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

Matthew 27:38

"Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left"

Jesus was numbered with the transgressors.

2 Corinthians 5:21

"For he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."

It's through faith in Christ Jesus and what He did on the stake, that we become the righteousness of Jehovah God. Jesus bore our iniquities on the stake. He made intercession for us at his death and He also continues interceding for us in the heavenly sanctuary to the Father Jehovah. So who made Jesus sin for us? Obviously the Father Jehovah, showing us a theocratic order in the Godhead and a distinction between God and Jesus. Two distinct beings in the above passage, God and Christ, through faith in Jesus, we become the righteousness of His Father Jehovah. Jesus didn't send himself to bear our sins. It doesn't say through Jesus we become the righteousness of Jesus, although He is righteous. Jehovah and Christ are one in mind, character and purpose but they are separate distinct persons. They have the same substance/DNA as Jesus is Jehovah's literal Son.

Praise Jah!

The King James Bible renders the word "Hallelujah" as "Alleluia" which is the greek word for that expresssion. Hallelujah means Praise you Jah/Jehovah. Alleluia the greek rendering for Hallelujah means praise ye Jah!, an adoring exclamation. In Hebrew, the word Hallelujah comes from the Hebrew words "halal" and "Yahh".

Halal meaning to celebrate, to be clear, to shine; to make a show, to boast. To commend, glory, give in marriage, (sing, be worthy of praise, rage, renowned.

Yahh is a contraction for Yhovah and meaning the same; Jah, the sacred name:-Jah, the Lord, most vehement.

 One could argue that since the expression Hallelujah has the proper name for God, it should have been rendered as such in all translations. Either way, understanding that the expression Hallelujah means "praise ye Jah (Jehovah)", we can rightly see that the first 6 verses in Revelation 19 are about the Almighty Jehovah, the Father of Jesus. 

The multitudes in heaven praise Jehovah saying Salvation, and glory and honour, and power belong to our God (verse 1).

Revelation 11:15 (KJV)

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

This scripture above is very revealing concerning the Godhead. Notice the words "the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ;" the Lord here is obviously the Father Jehovah otherwise it wouldn't have said "and of his Christ". Obviously Jesus Christ belongs to the Almighty God Jehovah thereby being subordinate to Him. They are also two separate distinct beings as noted in the passage, being that the Christ belongs to the Lord (Jehovah). Logically, Christ can't belong to himself being that the passage says he belongs to someone else, in this case his Father. This eliminates them being one in person as trinitarian's surmise. Unfortunately the use of the word "Lord" throughout scripture has been used by trinitarian's to confuse the Father and the Son. This theme of Jesus belonging to Jehovah and being subordinate to Him is reiterated in Revelation 12:10:

"And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."

So here we see that Jehovah is referenced as God and He has His Christ  (anointed one) Jesus who has power. The kingdom belongs to both Jehovah God and His Christ (anointed one) as they both reign on the throne. Jehovah is above all (1 Corinthians 15) however our Lord Jesus Christ has been given an inheritance by His Father to reign over everything else excepting His Father Jehovah. We see here the beautiful Father/Son relationship and co rulership of Jehovah and Jesus. It pleases Jehovah to bestow everything in heaven and earth to the rulership of His only begotten Son.

True and righteous are Jehovah's judgments and he avenges His children! (Verse 2)

Deuteronomy 32:43 (ASV)

43 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: For he will avenge the blood of his servants, And will render vengeance to his adversaries, And will make expiation for his land, for his people.

Psalm 19:9 (ASV)

9 The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether.

Revelation 6:10 (KJV)

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

The above passages confirm the character of Jehovah as a righteous judge and we can see this from text in the old and new testaments. Jehovah avenged His children of Israel (National) in the old testament and He will avenge His children of Israel (spiritual) when he sends His Son Jesus Christ to redeem the 144,000 from the earth after calling forth those resting in graves to everlasting life.

Jehovah will be praised as He executes justice on those who have persecuted His precious children (Verse 3). The same language in verse 3 of Revelation 19 can be found in Isaiah 34:10 in the destruction of Edom. The Great Whore (Roman Catholicism) and her harlot daughters (apostate Protestantism and Evangelicalism along with the false religions of the world) will be destroyed once and for all. This destruction will take place at the second advent of Christ our King. At the end of the millennium, all the wicked of times past will be destroyed in the Lake of Fire. This destruction is on earth and is permanent and final. It is not an unending torment in a spiritual underworld. Just as the smoke and fire of Edom's destruction is no longer burning or rising this day, the smoke and fire of the great whore's judgment will cease once it comsumes her fully to ashes. The phraseology of the below verse in Isaiah and verse 3 of Revelation 19 is metaphorical meaning the destruction of Edom and Mystery Babylon is permanent and forever.

Isaiah 34:10 (ASV)

"It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever; from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever."

The elders and beasts fall down and worship God who sits onthe throne saying praise ye Jah/Jehovah! (Verse 4).

Revelation 5:14 (KJV)

"And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever."

Psalm 106:48 (ASV)

48 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah.

Jehovah is the God of Israel (the Christian Congregation) and he is the one that lives forever and is to be praised from everlasting to everlasting. The trinity is not the God of Israel but rather it is the god of Rome. Our God is One and he has a literal Son "The Mighty God" Jesus Christ. The Son by divine inheritance is also due worship.

All of Jehovah's servants who fear Him are exhorted to praise Him, both small and great (Verse 5).

Psalm 134:1 (ASV)

134 Behold, bless ye Jehovah, all ye servants of Jehovah, That by night stand in the house of Jehovah.

Psalm 135:1 (ASV)

 "Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye the name of Jehovah; Praise him, O ye servants of Jehovah,"

Jehovah is the all powerful God (verse 6) who reigneth!

Psalms 97:1 (ASV)

"Jehovah reigneth; let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad."

Revelation 19:1-21 (ASV)

1  After these things I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah; Salvation, and glory, and power, belong to our God:

2 for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, her that corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

3 And a second time they say, Hallelujah. And her smoke goeth up for ever and ever.

4 And the four and twenty elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God that sitteth on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah.

5 And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, Give praise to our God, all ye his servants, ye that fear him, the small and the great.

6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigneth.

7 Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God.

10 And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he saith unto me, See thou do it not: I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren that hold the testimony of Jesus: worship God; for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11 And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon called Faithful and True; and in righteous he doth judge and make war.

12 And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he hath a name written which no one knoweth but he himself.

13 And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure.

15 And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

16 And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KINGS OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid heaven, Come and be gathered together unto the great supper of God;

18 that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of them that sit thereon, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, and small and great.

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army.

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone:

21 and the rest were killed with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, even the sword which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

The Trinity, a test of Salvation?

I am reposting this from an Adventist brother of mine from facebook:

"Why is the Trinity a Salvation Issue?

Those who have not studied the doctrine of the trinity never see it as a salvation issue because they do not understand exactly what it entails and all the implications. And so they typically have no idea that this is actually the biggest deception of all that is also related to the mark of the beast and the Sabbath day.

Remember that the trinity doctrine teaches a 3 in 1 and 1 in 3 god. That is, 3 gods that are co-equal, co-eternal that are not 3 gods but 1 god. 1+1+1=One. Three gods that have supposedly always existed and hence have no beginning. So how can Jesus be a literal Son if He has always existed alongside the Father? And how can the Father be a Father if Jesus is not really His Son? Hence the trinity doctrine and other similar beliefs like Unitarians deny that Jesus is the literal Son of God in one way or another.

If you do not confess Jesus is the Son of God than you are separated from God. “Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.” 1 John 4:15. And again, “Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:5

And if you deny Jesus is the Son of God and that God gave His literal Son then you make God a liar and you do not have eternal life. “He that believeth on the Son of God has the witness in himself: he that believeth not God has made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God has not life.” 1 John 5:10-12

“But these are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you might have life through his name.” John 20:31

And so Scripture tells us that it is only by acknowledging that Jesus is the Son of God that we can be saved and have access to the Father. And if you deny Jesus is the literal Son of God then it is also impossible for God to be a literal Father. So it denies both the Father and the Son which is what John called antichrist as it opposes Christ being the true and literal Son of God. It denies that it was the literal Son of God that came in the flesh and died on the cross.

The Bible reveals over and over again that they are a real Father and Son. But the trinity doctrine says no. Some today including Adventist Pastors when asked is Jesus the Son of God reply, No! They say He is just the one God playing the role of the Son. Yet nowhere is there even so much as a hint in Scripture that they are just role playing or are not really a Father and Son. God brought forth a Son whom He loves very much and Satan is working very hard to hide this fact.

And if the trinity doctrine is wrong, the Holy Spirit is really a creation of Satan rather than the Spirit of the Father and Son. Does it matter if we give our adoration to a creation of Satan rather than the Spirit of the Father and Son? The answer is obvious. Scripture says Satan wants to be worshipped like the most high God. Has he succeeded in accomplishing his goal of being included as deity? More and more today are praying and worshipping the Holy Spirit which the Bible never tells us to do. If the Holy Spirit is not a third being then what spirit would we have as per our belief and who would we be giving our adoration to? And if we believe the Holy Spirit can be worshipped and prayed to just like the Father and the Son, who receives our worship? It goes to Satan! Do you think the Father and Son will mind? I would hope it requires no explanation.

Revelation 13:17 states, “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

Did you notice that it is three things? It is not just the mark of the beast but also the name and the number of his name which is 666. The pagan origins of the trinity reveals that 666 comes from the trinity doctrine and sun and Satan worship!

The question was asked in the Catholic Catechism, “What is Sunday...” The answer was that Sunday “is a day dedicated by the Apostles to the honor of the most holy Trinity.” — (R&H, vol. 5, no. 24, p. 86)

An interesting statement considering “Sunday worship” and the “Trinity doctrine” both came from sun and Satan worship in Babylon, and they were both brought into Christendom by the Catholic Church whom God calls Babylon! They are also both about who we worship which Revelation 13 and 14 reveals is exactly what the mark of the beast issue is all about. So do we worship the one true God on His Holy day or the pagan Catholic 3 in 1 god? And what about the Seal of God. Which God do we need to be sealed by? The one true God the Father or the pagan Catholic 3 in 1 god. This would certainly explain why Revelation reveals so many will still be deceived and perish in the end.

For Adventists: Considering “Sunday worship” and the “Trinity doctrine” were both brought into Christendom by the beast (Papacy), then consider the following. “The third angel's message has been sent forth to the world, warning men against receiving the mark of the beast or of his image in their foreheads or in their hands. To receive this mark means to come to the same decision as the beast has done, and to advocate the same ideas, in direct opposition to the word of God.” — (E.G. White, R&H, July 13, 1897)
E.G. White says there is still more to be revealed. “The light that we have upon the third angel's message is the true light. The mark of the beast is exactly what it has been proclaimed to be. Not all in regard to this matter is yet understood nor will it be understood until the unrolling of the scroll,” — (E.G. White, 6T, 17.1, 1900)
Christ was the Son of God before coming to earth. “Christ was the only begotten Son of God, and Lucifer, that glorious angel, got up a warfare over the matter, until he had to be thrust down to the earth.” — (E.G. White, Ms86, August 21, 1910)

Satan hates the Son of God and wants us to deny Him and not just for his own gratification. Once you fully understand this topic you will have no trouble seeing that the trinity doctrine is the work of Satan through the Catholic Church for the purpose of stealing your salvation. Is it any wonder Satan has so many workers trying to keep Christians trapped in this satanic doctrine. It is not only the worst possible deception but is also his greatest end time deception related to the mark of the beast."

The Sabbath as a sign!

The Sabbath as a sign between Jehovah and His children!

Exodus 31:12-17 (ASV)

12 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily ye shall keep my sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am Jehovah who sanctifieth you.

14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

15 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Jehovah: whosoever doeth any work on the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

The Sabbath is a sign between Jehovah and the children of Israel throughout their generations. This indicates a continual covenant. We know from scripture that Israel is no longer of the flesh but rather of the Spirit, being those that accept the Messiah Jehoshua (Jesus Christ). Israel which was once 12 tribes and a Geopolitical Theocratic Nation, which at times fell under the rule of other nations, is now a congregation of believers in Christ Jesus. Gentiles who believe in the Son of Jehovah are grafted into the Israel of God. Jews of the flesh who reject the Messiah are outside of the Israel of God (Romans 2:28-29, Galatians 6:16), however Jehovah has not cast them off (Romans 11:2) and if they accept His Son Jesus they will then be grafted back in (Romans 11:23). 

See there is no longer a seperate dispensation for Jews and Gentiles and there is only one Israel and it has nothing to do with a piece of land in the middle east or a Geopolitical nation. How do we show this by scripture? Look at: Ephesians 4:4-6 (KJV)

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

That's it! The people of Jehovah and Jesus are ONE not two, meaning there are not two separate camps of God's people (Gentiles and Jews). Let's look further:

Galatians 3:28-29 (KJV)

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

In the new covenant there is no longer a distinction made between Jew and Gentile. In the new covenant the distinction is now made between those who accept Christ as the Son of God and those who don't.

Colossians 3:10-11 (KJV)

10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Again we see that there is neither Greek nor Jew anymore but Christ is all and in all who accept Him as their Saviour. Verse 12 confirms that elect of Jehovah God are those who have His Son as their Lord and Saviour and it has nothing to do with the flesh. So the elect of God is anyone who is a Christian regardless of being a Jew or a Greek.

So if the Sabbath was to be a sign between Jehovah and the children of Israel throughout their generations what does this mean for today's believer in Christ? From the above passages, we see that Israel is now made of Jews and Gentiles who accept Christ as their Saviour. So now instead of the Sabbath being a sign between Jehovah and Israel of the flesh it is a sign between Him and the Israel of God  (the Christian Congregation).

When we come to Christ, we inherit the privilege of the perpetual covenant made between Jehovah and Israel which is the Sabbath. We know this because anyone who is in Christ is now part of the Israel of God. Many churches minus the Dispensationalists, acknowledge that the Israel of God is no longer of the flesh and is indeed the church, however they don't to accept the responsibility given to the children of Israel to keep the 10 commandments especially the 4th which is the Sabbath. They freely accept the grace of Jehovah and taking on the beautiful promises made to Israel however they willfully disregard the law that was also given to Israel. You can't claim the promises and blessings given to Israel yet disregard the obedience required of Israel. In other words, you can't have your cake and eat it too, at least in this case.

In verse 14, Jehovah states that we shall keep the sabbath as it was made Holy (set apart) unto us. Jehovah set the sabbath aside for us at creation before there ever was a Jew or a nation of Israel. Some strong language here in verse 14 regarding those who profane the sabbath. One way of profaning the sabbath is by working on it. Of course, now we don't put people to death for profaning it, we are no longer under the civil part of the law of Moses which enacted penalties for violating the law. There is though an application to the statement about death in relation to breaking the sabbath and the soul that works on it being cut off from his people. Those who have been given the light of the Sabbath and reject it, may be subject to the second death at the judgment after the resurrection of the unjust. The soul (living being) who works on the Sabbath thereby profaning it will be cut off from the children of Jehovah and not be granted eternal life in paradise where men and women will worship Jehovah from sabbath to sabbath  (Isaiah 66:23). Again, I want to make it clear that those in times past who have not been given the light of the sabbath will be judged according to that light as Jehovah  is a meriful God.

Verse 15 clarifies that it is only the Seventh day that Jehovah made Holy. Today's churches in Christendom try to shoe horn the first day of the week as a holy day but scripture now where justifies this. The Seventh day is confirmed by Jehovah to be a day of solemn rest. This rest refreshes us, yet many in Churchianity  have been deceived into thinking that Jehovah's holy day is a bondage. Jesus even said that men who violate the least of the commandments and teach others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of God:

Matthew 5:19 KJV

"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

Jehovah calls the sabbath a day of solemn rest, meaning in our rest there is a reverence towards our God. This is not just a day for rest but also a day of undistracted devotion and worship of Jehovah and Jesus. We are not to be about our own thoughts, words and pleasures on the sabbath but rather in communion with our creator. We are promised that if we turn our foot to the Sabbath we will feed with the heritage of Jacob  (Isaiah 58:13-14). What an awesome promise by our Father Jehovah!!  This is available for all those in Christ.

Verse 16 confirms the permanence of the Sabbath and the continuance of it throughout all the generations of Israel which is now made up of Jews and Gentiles who accept Christ Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. The Sabbath is a perpetual covenant!!!

In verse 17, Jehovah confirms that it is the Sabbath that is the sign between Him and His people,  the children of Israel which is the Christian Congregation in the new covenant. Jehovah God Himself rested on the Seventh day Sabbath and He was refreshed!! Look at that, even our Almighty God Jehovah rested and was refreshed on the Sabbath. Yet, today's world of Christendom doesn't think they need to rest on this day, making themselves wiser that the Omnipresent, Omnipotent God Almighty who still observes the sabbath. This is the day Jehovah and Jesus commune with us undistracted. If Jehovah was refreshed on this Holy day then all the more we need it.

And just to slam dunk the point of the Sabbath being from Jehovah himself and not Moses, He wrote with His very own fingers (verse 18).

The faith of Jesus!

What is the faith of Jesus?

Revelation 14:12 (KJV)

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

We know that the commandments of God are the 10 moral commands given to Moses at Sinai which include the Seventh-day Sabbath. What is the faith of Jesus though?

It can mean faith in Jesus (Righteousness by faith, belief in his virign birth, earthly ministry, death, burial, bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father) and it can also mean Jesus faith, meaning what Jesus believed. Faith in the doctrines held and published by Jesus. 

Let's focus on the latter, everyone alive has a faith in something even atheist. If you ask a Muslim, he will tell you his faith is in allah, a buddist would say buddha and the list goes on. So what was Jesus faith? Who was his faith in? Let's look at scripture:

John 17:3. KJV

"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent."

Clearly Jesus faith was in the one true God not a trinity. Jesus was sent by the One true God and we must know Him also to obtain eternal life as He is the literal Son of Jehovah. Let's look at another instance of the faith Jesus had.

Mark 12:28-34 (KJV)

28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

The above passage should be a spam dunk against the trinity doctrine. In verse 29 Jesus quotes the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4). Out of Jesus own mouth, he says God is ONE. Notice that Jesus didn't say God is 3 in 1 or 1 in 3. Jesus spoke in plain words when describing His God and His Father Jehovah. He wasn't trying to trick or confuse anyone. If God was a trinity, Jesus would have said so. If verse 29 isn't enough to get a clear picture of the faith of Jesus, let's look at verse 32-34. The scribe acknowledges that Jesus spoke truth and confirms that God is one and that there is no other besides He. In verse 34 Jesus says something that should blow the trinity doctrine out of the water. After hearing the scribes discreet answer, Jesus tells him "Thou art not far from the kingdom of God".  Notice that Jesus didn't correct the scribe and tell him that God was a trinity but rather He commended the scribe for answering wisely that God is one and there is no other.

Here is the quote from Jesus above in reference to  Deuteronomy 6:4 (The Shema)

Deuteronomy 6:4 (ASV)

4 Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah:

Did you know that Jesus has a God? This is something that trinitarian's have a hard time accepting. However Jesus Himself says this in the book of  Revelation. Let's look and see:

Revelation 3:11-13 (KJV)

11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Four times Jesus makes mention of His God. Jesus faith is in His God, Jehovah who is His literal Father. If we overcome, we will have the name of Jesus's God written on us and the name of Jesus's God city which is New Jerusalem which comes down from heaven from Jesus's God. We will be pillars in the temple of Jesus's God.

Jesus of course is the Son of God and thereby is God by inheritance however He is not the Almighty God otherwise He wouldn't have a God. Jesus is the Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6). The above passage makes crystal clear that Jesus is not the Almighty God as Jesus obviously isn't talking about Himself in Revelation 3:11-13 when he makes mention of His God. Jesus throughout scripture identifies Himself as the "Son of God" not the Almighty God. One very quick acknowledgement of this is in Revelation 3:5

"He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."

Jesus over and over again calls God Almighty His Father. This is even after Jesus life on earth. This contradicts those who say Jesus was only the Son during His earthly ministry. Jesus clearly identifies Himself as Jehovah's Son even after His ressurection. Why is this?  Because simply Jesus is God's literal Son. He was Jehovah's Son before His birth in earth and He was His Son in eternity  (Proverbs 8:22-31). The trinity doctrine teaches that Jesus sonship is only a title and a rank. If this is true then this would Jesus and Jehovah very own words not true. So who do you believe? The words of Jehovah and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ or the Trinitarian theologians and philosophers? Doesn't the bible say "Let God be true and every man a liar"?

So to tie all this in with Revelation 14:12, the faith of Jesus can rightly be understood to mean to believe in what Jesus believed and the doctrines he taught. Jesus obviously taught that God is one. Remember it was Jesus as the Angel of Jehovah who Jehovah spoke through that gave Moses the 10 Commandments at Sinai. The first of the commandments was "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3). Make no mistake about it, Jesus was a perfect commandment keeper. Also, Jesus by being the literal Son of Almighty God Jehovah can rightly be called God and is 100% Divine Himself. He also can be worshipped (Revelation 5). A good way to look at it is this: Jehovah is the Almighty God, self existent and eternal. Jesus is the Mighty God, begotten, born and brought forth in eternity from His Father Jehovah the Almighty God. Jesus is God by inheritance as given to Him by the Father. When we honor and worship Jesus we also honor and worship the Father. Both are rightfully due honor and worship.

The commandments make it clear that we are to put no other gods before us. Not having the faith of Jesus means we also are not commandment keepers. So by not believing in One true God and believing in a trinity you then violate not only Jesus's faith but also the first commandment. Scripture is clear in Revelation 12:17, Revelation 14:12 and Revelation 22:14 that Jehovah's last days Christian Congregation will be keepers of the 10 Commandments and have the testimony of Jesus which is the spirit of prophecy and have the faith of Jesus  (belief in One God). What does this mean for those who have a trinitarian belief in these last days? It means that in order for them to be sealed with Jehovah's seal they have to love truth and come out of the trinity deception. The great thing is that we have a God (Jehovah) that is merciful and understands that many sincere Christians have been lied to and deceived by the theologians, philosophers and pulpit preachers who should know better about the Biblical Godhead.

Acts 17:30 (KJV)

30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

Jehovah has winked at the times of ignorance as men are only responsible for the light given to them. Many Christians have believed in the trinity doctrine out of ignorance and Jehovah has considered them true believers however as light is shining forth in these last days He is calling men and women everywhere to repent of this false doctrine and return to the simplicity of the Biblical Godhead which is Jehovah the one true God, His literal Son Jesus Christ and their Holy Spirit (mind, breath, wind, personality, presence, power not a third god).

Why now though? Why is this teaching of the trinity doctrine being expose for what it is in these times? Because brethren we are in the very last days and the close of probation looms for not only sinners but for those still adhering to Babylon's wine (false doctrines).

Revelation 17:2. KJV

"With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication."

The good news for some trinitarian's is that some of them actually do believe that Jesus is God's literal Son and many of them do not pray or worship the Holy Spirit. These I believe will be open to truth about the 3 in 1 god. I believe these are true Christians.

Why is the trinity doctrine so dangerous especially in these last days? Because I truly believe it will be the one doctrine other than sunday observance that will unite and is uniting Protestantism and Evangelicalism with the Catholic Church and the Papacy. It is this 1 in 3 and 3 in 1 god that causes Protestants and evangelicals to look at the Romish church as just another Christian denomination rather than Mystery Babylon. This uniting is and will cause many Protestant and evangelical trinitarian's to accept Papal authority and thereby receive the mark of the beast. Just look at how Christendom no longer preaches that the papacy is the antichrist and is now looking at either Islam or a future political figure as the man of sin. The Mystery of the Trinity has deceived millions and is working it's seductions in these very last days at a rapid pace. Look at a quote from the Catholic Church regarding the Trinity doctrine and compare it with what Revelation 17:5 says:

"The mystery of the Trinity is the central doctrine of the Catholic Faith. Upon it are based all the other teachings of the church..." Handbook for Today's Catholic, p. 11.

Revelation 17:5 (KJV)

5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.

We see that Mystery Babylon (Roman Catholicism) states that the trinity is their central doctrine which then other doctrines of theirs spring from, one of them being Sunday observance. According to Revelation 17:5, we see this woman, the great whore of Babylon has the word "Mystery" written on her forehead. Revelation 17:3 states that this woman the great whore, is full of names of blasphemy and she sits on the beast (the papacy). One of the names of blasphemy is the mystery known as the trinity which is written on this woman's  (Mystery Babylon) forehead. However it not only the Catholic Church that is Babylon but also allthe churches that corrupt themselves with her and the papacy. These apostate churches are the harlot daughters of Mystery Babylon  (Roman Catholicism). The apostate churches have shown idolatrous devotion to the papacy by worshipping his god the trinity.

So what is the solution for sincere Christians who hold to the trinity doctrine? Scripture tells us:

Revelation 18:4 KJV

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

This is Jehovah's and Jesus final call to leave Babylon. Leaving Babylon is not only in leaving her apostate churches but also in leaving her false doctrines, of which the trinity is central!

Jesus as God's literal Son!

2 Corinthians 1:3 (KJV)

3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

See the above scripture , it is very revealing. It should remove all doubt that Jesus is the literal Son of God. This was written after Jesus life on earth and it is clear that even in heaven Jesus is Jehovah's Son. Jesus and Jehovah are not just role playing a Father/Son relationship as many theologians and pulpit preachers teach but this relationship of Father/Son is very real. Plain scripture teaches that Jehovah God is Jesus literal Father. The philosophy of man has corrupted plain bible teachings on this matter which has lead to a confusing 3 in 1 god. The biblical Godhead is One true God Jehovah and Him whom the One true God sent, The Lord Jesus Christ, His literal Son and their Holy Spirit (mind, breath, wind, power, presence, personality) not a third god. All confusion in spiritual matters comes from 1 place and that is Babylon which literally means confusion. The Catholic trinity doctrine teaches that Jesus as the Son of God is merely a rank and not to be taken literally. First use of the word trinity was in 187 AD by Tertullian but his understanding of a trinity concept wasn't what eventually became the creedal trinity doctrine. Many believe Tertullian was a heretic. Athanasius, who was known to be hateful and also a heretic who brought in greek platonic philosophy into the church, promulgated the origins of the trinity doctrine. He was known to be hateful with those who disagreed with him and he brought the beginning of the trinity doctrine to the council of Nicaea in 325 AD and got the pagan Roman emperor Constantine to side with him. This resulted in the exile of his opponent Dr. Arius. This council only dealt with the diety of Christ not the Holy Spirit. Athanasius taught that Christ was very God and was self existent and co equal and co eternal with the Father. He believed that Christ and the Father were consubstantial. He basically taught that Christ was the Almighty God and literally one with the Father in being and in person. In 381 AD, the council of Constantinople took place and the doctrine of the trinity was established as this council dealt with the diety of the Holy Spirit giving it the same place as God as the Son and the Father. 

We can see then that this doctrine of the trinity was established by men who had apostasized from the faith once delivered to the saints. These men brought in greek platonic philosophy and also integrated Roman sun cult teachings such as a 3 in 1 god. Constantine was a sun worshipper and likely was drawn to the idea of a trinity god. The Catholic Church sought the acceptance of their version of Christianity by the pagan sun cults who had a 3 in 1 and 1 in 3 god. The Catholic Church was firmly established by 312 AD and it is obvious that the trinity doctrine is theirs. The Athanasius creed even states that anyone who doesn't believe in the trinity is an anathema. What does the Bible say though about what is required for eternal life? You may be surprised that it is not belief in a trinity!

John 17:3 (KJV)

"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the ONLY true God, and him whom thou hast sent."

Two divine beings in the above passage not three. Why isn't the Holy Spirit mentioned? Because it is the actual Spirit of Jehovah and Jesus not a third divine person.

1 John 2:22 (KJV)

“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.” 

Scripture above clearly teaches that to deny Jesus as the literal Son of God is antichrist. If you deny this, then you also deny the Father Jehovah. Many sincere Christians don't realize the implications of the trinity doctrine as some do believe that Jesus is God's literal Son however the 3 in 1 god teaching of the trinity actually denies this and teaches that the terms Father and Son are only ranks and Jesus and Jehovah are role playing these titles. While the theologians, philosophers and pulpit preachers who teach this doctrine should no better Jehovah has mercy on those sincere ones who have been lied to and deceived. The answer is to come out of Babylon!

Revelation 18:4 (KJV)

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

ACTS 13:23-39

Acts 13:23-39 (KJV)

23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

24 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

30 But God raised him from the dead:

31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

A few gems here to glean from.

1) God Jehovah raised up Jesus to be our Saviour. How did this take place? Verse 33 answers that "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You". What does begotten mean? Let’s look at both the greek and Hebrew:

Greek word for begotten is "gennao" which means to procreate, to regenerate, best, beget, be born, bring forth, concieved, be delivered of, spring, make.

Hebrew word for begotten is "yalad" which means to beget, to show lineage, bear, birth, born, make to, bring forth, be the son of, bring up, calve, be delivered (of a child), hatch, labour, declare pedigrees.

We can clearly see from the above definition of begotten that Jesus came forth from the Father at some point. We know from scripture that Jesus is preexistent so this point of origin must be in eternity. Notice that begotten doesn't mean created out of nothing but rather created from something likened unto a birth, as a child directly comes from and out of his mother. With Jesus being identifed as the Son of God 47 times in scripture, it is safe to say that He indeed is Jehovah's literal Son. As an earthly father naturally precedes his son in origin so does the heavenly Father. Jesus was begotten directly from the Father's bosom in eternity so He does have a point of origin. Because Jesus came forth from the Father He shares the same substance and DNA. Make no mistake though, Jesus is a separate distinct individual being from His Father Jehovah just as an earthly child who shares the same DNA as his parents is a separate distinct person from them. 

To say that Jesus is self existent and has no point of origin destroys the Father/Son relationship of Jesus and Jehovah. It also doesn't harmonize with the weight of evidence in scripture.

2) Verse 30 clearly states that it is God (Jehovah) that raised Christ from the dead. Jesus didn't raise himself up as He was dead in the grave and His Spirit was not floating around in Heaven watching over his own dead body. Jesus even told Martha after his ressurection not to touch Him as he hadn't ascended to the Father yet. God the Father raised up Jesus from the dead so that He wouldn't see corruption (bodily decay). Verse 34, 35 and 37 confirm Jehovah raising Jesus from the dead. 

3) Verse 38 and 39 says we are justified by believing in Christ and in him being able to forgive our sins. Paul says that the law of Moses is not able to justify us. Notice that it says the law of Moses which is not to be confused with the 10 Commandments. The law of Moses was 600 or so civil/ceremonial ordinances given to the nation of Israel. The 10 Commandments are directly from the fingers of Jehovah and are eternal, immutable and unchangeable. In Jesus was preached the forgiveness of sins. What is sin according to the word of God? 

1 John 3 :4

"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law : for sin is the transgression of the law."

When we transgress Jehovah's law (10 Commandments) we sin, whether it is the 4th commandment to keep the Sabbath day as Holy or any other of the simple to keep 10 Commandments. The good news is, that we now have a high priest Jesus Christ that we can go to for forgiveness when we "miss the mark" which is the greek "hamartia" definition of the word "sin". In old covenant times, the jews had to offer up animal sacrifices via meat, drink and burnt offerings through the levitical preisthood in order to obtain atonement. Now we have a better covenant which is Jesus Christ as our High Priest who mediates for us to Jehovah in the Heavenly sanctuary in the most Holy place.  

What does the word believe really mean? Let’s look at the greek:

Pisteuo is the greek word for believe and it means to have faith (in, upon or with respect to, a person or thing) i.e. credit; by implication to entrust (especially one's spiritual well being to Christ): believe, commit (to trust) put in trust with.

So we see that the biblical definition of believe tends to be far different than what much of the professing church teaches about it. The biblical definition of believe basically means to be committed to Christ, not simply a verbal and/or emotional acknowledgement of Him. Being committed to Christ means obeying His and His Father's commandments. You don't believe me? Well believe scripture:

John 14:15 (NASB)

"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments."

Believers obey the commandments not to earn salvation, but to show their love to the Father and Son (1 John 5:3).

1 John 5:3 (KJV)

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Jesus is subject to the Father!

Isaiah 9:6-7 (ASV)

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.

Look at verse 6, "unto us a son is given", see Jehovah had a son to give the world. Jehovah didn't just give us a member of a co eternal, co equal  trinity and then change his title to son, Jesus was already the Son of God before His virgin birth. Jesus is also called the Mighty God and rightfully so as He inherited this right from the Almighty God Jehovah His Father. Just as Eve came from Adam out of his bosom, Jesus came from Jehovah's bosom. Eve, because she was of Adam who was human, can rightfully be called human just as Jesus because He is of the Father who is God can rightfully be called God. The Almighty God is Jehovah who has no point of origin and is self existent. Jesus is the Mighty God as He was begotten of the Father and is the express image of the invisible God. Express image means character so Jesus has the exact characteristics of God The Father. That's why we can rightly call Him God. Jesus had a point of origin however it was in eternity and rather than being created he was born, begotten and brought forth from His Father Jehovah.

Zechariah 14:8-11 (ASV)

8 And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

9 And Jehovah shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall Jehovah be one, and his name one.

10 All the land shall be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she shall be lifted up, and shall dwell in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel unto the king's wine-presses.

11 And men shall dwell therein, and there shall be no more curse; but Jerusalem shall dwell safely.

This passage is a beautiful refrence to when the earth is made new into paradise after the Heavenly millennium. Note verse 8 and compare to Revelation 22:1:

"And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb."

How do we know the above passage is talking about the new earth? Well verse 9 makes reference to Jehovah being King over all the earth and that in that day there shall be one Jehovah. We know from studying the word that it's after the millennium that Jehovah finally rules over the earth. Until that time Satan has sway over it as the god of this age. It's only when sin and death are eradicated that Jehovah will rule over the earth as it's undisputed King. No mention of a trinity being the King over all the earth. Even Jesus will turn the Kingdom over to His Father at this time which makes sense in light of the above scripture where it says there will be one Jehovah and his name one. Let's look at 1 Corinthians 15:24-28

1 Corinthians 15:24-28 (KJV)

24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Look at verse 24 where it says at the end (after the millennium) Jesus will deliver the kingdom to God (Jehovah). Jesus will reign until all enemies are under His feet, the last of which is death which will be when death and the grave, which holds the wicked, are cast into the lake of fire to be destroyed. Verse 27 states that God The Father put all things under Jesus feet except Himself. This shows the theocratic order of the Father being greater than the Son. If there was any doubt of the Father Jehovah having authority over His Son Jesus Christ, verse 28 removes all of it in one fell swoop. In verse 28 it says when all things are subdued unto Jesus then He (Jesus) will be subject to the Father so that the Father Jehovah God may be all in all. This fits perfectly with Zechariah 14:9:

"And Jehovah shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall Jehovah be one, and his name one."


This passage in 1 Corinthians 15 destroys the teaching of a co equal trinity as Jesus is clearly subject to the Father and will turn over the Kingdom  (New Earth) to Him so that he may be all in all and King over all the earth. Jesus of course will reign with Jehovah on His throne however we see from the above text a theocratic order of Father and then Son. Notice the Holy Spirit is not mentioned as sitting on the Father and Son's throne in Revelation 22:1 nor is it mentioned in Zechariah 14 :7-9 as being King over all the earth nor is it mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 as being in the theocratic order. Why is this?  Simply because the Holy Spirit is not a third deity but rather the very Spirit of Jehovah and Jesus. This again proves the trinitarian doctrine as false and the true Godhead is in the Father and His literal  Son. The Holy Spirit is the unseen presence, mind, breath, personality and power of Jehovah and Jesus.
