GOD GAVE A PROMISE
GENESIS 3.14,15
AND THE LORD GOD SAID UNTO THE SERPENT, BECAUSE THOU HAS DONE THIS, THOU ART CURSED ABOVE ALL CATTLE, AND ABOVE EVERY BEAST OF THE FIELD; UPON THY BELLY SHALT THOU GO, AND DUST SHALT THOU EAT ALL THE DAYS OF THY LIFE. AND I WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN THEE AND THE WOMAN, AND BETWEEN THY SEED AND HER SEED, IT SHALL BRUISE THY HEAD, AND THOU SHALT BRUISE HIS HEEL.
Before Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden,
God gave them an important lesson - He
made them garments
The Bible tells us: Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them." Genesis 3.21.
This was the first animal that died to provide
clothing - blood was required to make this happen.
When Jesus came as a little Babe in the manger of Bethlehem, the Angel told Joseph that "thou shalt call His Name Jesus for He shall save His people from their sins.
Matthew 1.21
In Joseph's mind, he had been tormented what to do ? He was a devout Godly man who was a Son of David. He wanted to do the right thing. In Jewish eyes, a BETROTHAL was a sacred marriage contract that could only be broken by divorce. It was a "legal" marriage - and they were man and wife, except they had done according to the custom, and were not together yet. It was not what he had ever thought - that Mary would be pregnant. Then the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said, "Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS, for he shall save his people from their sins." Matthew 1.20,21.
Matthew 1.24,25
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife. And knew her not until she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Did you know that JESUS in the Hebrew means the same as Joshua, and that in the Hebrew it means " JEHOVAH MY SALVATION" OR "JHVH - SALVATION OF ME....
King David wrote in Psalm 62.1
"truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him
cometh my salvation"
In the Hebrew, it would be read like this:
Amen my soul waiteth upon God:
from Him comes Salvation of me
Again,
Psalm 62.5,6,7
My soul, wait thou only upon God;
for my expectation is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation:
he is my defense; I shall not be moved.
In God is my Salvation and my glory,
the rock of my strength, and my refuge,
is in God.
To say it as King David was saying it in the Hebrew
I give you my personal thought about the rendering:
My soul, wait thou only upon Elohim,
for He is my expectation.
He alone is the rock of me, and the salvation of me,
He is the defense of me; I shall not be moved.
In God the Salvation of me,
and the glory of me,
the rock of strength of me,
and Elohim the refuge of me.
Salvation in Hebrew is
Y'SHUA or Y'HOSHUAY
John 1.29
John declared: Behold ! the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.
Do consider Him today.
Why ? did He come ?
He either was a liar.
or
He was deluded
or
He was telling the truth
JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, I AM THE WAY,
THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE, NO MAN COMETH TO THE FATHER
BUT BY ME.
John chapter 1.1 - 5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.
John chapter 1.v.14
John's testimony of Jesus was this:
And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth.
John chapter 1.17,18
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seeen God at any time: the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Jesus told Nicodemus
John chapter 3.16
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON
THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM
SHOULD NOT PERISH
BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.
