Who or What Was Jesus Christ Before His Human Birth?
Saturday 5-31-25 7th. Day Of The Weekly Cycle, Sivan 3, 5785 73rd. Day of Spring
Who or What Was Jesus Christ Before His Human Birth? Was Jesus Christ the Messiah "very God of very God"?
Is He a second member of the divine Godhead? Is there
a contradiction between the terms "God the Son" and "the
Son of God"? Were there two or more divine Beings,
co-equal and uncreated, who have existed for all eternity,
who were and are "God"? Why did Jesus speak of His Father as "the only true God"? Why do the Jews recite, "The LORD is our
God, the LORD alone "? Who is the "LORD" of the Old Testament? Isaiah quotes God as saying, "I am God, and there is none else"
(Isa.45:22), "there is none beside me" (verse 21). Does this preclude the pre-existence and divinity of the Christ, the Messiah?
Heresies abound in
these "last days," terrible heresies and apostasizing errors -- deviations from the truth which could rob you of your eternal
salvation! It is time you knew -- and proved conclusively -- the PLAIN TRUTH about Jesus Christ the Messiah!
The apostle Paul warned almost 2,000 years ago, speaking of our End-Time
generation, "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things
taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron" (I
Tim.4:1-2).
In his second epistle to Timothy, Paul warned that these evil deceivers are "always learning but never able to acknowledge
the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres
opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth -- men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.
But they will not get very far because, as in
the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone" (II Tim.3:7-9).
Such a heresy has arisen in these last days. It has received a new dimension of clever manipulation and pseudo-scholarly advancement
by its authors. Claiming the
Jews only worshiped "one God," and that they are rejecting "pagan" errors, they assert that Biblical revelation teaches that
Jesus Christ was indeed the "Son of God," but
definitely not "God the Son," making a clever distinction betweens the two terms.
The counting of the omer is rooted in the Torah, specifically in Leviticus 23:15-16, which instructs the Israelites to count
seven weeks from the day after the Sabbath, when the omer (sheaf) of wave offering was brought.
Meaning:
The counting symbolizes a period of spiritual preparation, a countdown to the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, and the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Shavuot.
Process:
Each evening, a blessing is recited, and the specific day of the omer is stated, marking the progress of the count.
Significance:
The omer count is seen as a time for reflection, introspection, and spiritual growth, connecting the Israelites' experience
in the wilderness to the Torah's revelation.
The commandment for counting the Omer is recorded within the Torah in Leviticus 23:9-14 When ye are come into the land which
I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring the sheaf (omer) of the first-fruits of your harvest
unto the priest.
