WORD.
WORD.
The
Word is what God created first. It is said of Jesus-Christ that he is the Word
made flesh. .Jn 1/14 It has been made flesh and it has been dwelling
among us. This Word which has been made flesh, is Jesus-Christ about whom we
learn that he is the first born of all creation Col 1/15. The Word is
what came out of God the Father. He has talked and what he spoke was the first
creation. The created Word has created everything then. He has created for Himself
and by Himself. Col 1/16-17. This is why Genesis says: 'In the beginning,
God created...'' Gn 1/1 God the Word who was to become flesh created in
the beginning. Before the beginning, God did not speak. Therefore John starts
his Gospel with: ''In the beginning was the Word...'' Jn 1/1. Before
the beginning, there was no Word because God had not yet said anything. When
God spoke, this was the first creation. This creation (The Divine Word) created
for Himself and by Himself all that exists.
The
Word is eternal in the sense that He is Divine. He has always been in God because
He is God.
The
Word of God is as divine as the word of a man is human.
The
Word of God is yes and Amen. The word of a man is not certain.
The
word of God is with God and He is God. Our human word sometimes differs from
what we are. The Word of God is perfect. Ours is far from being so.
The
word is not an under-God. He is God. Jesus-Christ, who is the Word of God made
flesh, is God. We say that Jesus-Christ is the son of God and it is true in
the sense that he came from God the Father. Like the word of a man comes out
of himself. But Jesus-Christ is in no case the ''sonny'' of God. Jesus is the
Person of God. He who has seen Jesus-Christ has seen the Father Jn 14/9.
For Jesus-Christ is the Word of God made flesh, He is the image of the invisible
God for our eyes Col 1/15. See Jesus-Christ.
The
Word of God is also the message of God, his instruction, his doctrine. We receive
his Word taught by the Holy Spirit who reveals it to us. When God talks to one
of his children, what he says does not oppose what is in the Holy Bible. We
say that the preached Word is the word of God, but this depends on the spirituality
of he who teaches. Acts 4/31-33 The Bible is the word of God. It is
inspired so that we find in it the food we need in our daily life. Man does
not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of
the Lord. Deut 8/3. The Word of God is a lamp to our feet, and a light
on our path Ps 119/5. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and
they continued to speak the Word of God with boldness Acts 4/31-33.
It
is the earth. but it is also all those who don't obey Jesus-Christ.
When
one lives in this world, one has the mortal existence. Jesus-Christ warns us
that we shall have tribulations in this world Jn 16/33. But God will
punish this world for the evil that it yields itself Is 13/11. The world
is filled of hatred against the disciples of Jesus-Christ and we were warned
about it Jn 15/18-19. A true disciple of Jesus-Christ knows that he
is not of this world, that he comes from somewhere else and he is a stranger
on this earth Jn 15/19. We are no more of this world than Jesus-Christ
was Jn 17/14. On the other hand, those of the seed of the serpent are
of this world and therefore will die in their sin Jn 8/23. See
fall. Cain. Serpent.
Garden. Adam.
We
are in the world, but we should not adjust to the world. We are like a boat
floating on the water. Everything is fine as long as the water does not come
on board.
Not
to love the world nor the things which are in the world does not mean that we
should give up whatever is good in this world. Sin is what we should give up,
and whatever looks like sin. 1 Jn 2/15.
Many
clerics put burdens on the shoulders of the young people, forbidding what they
call ''the music of the world''. See Music.
I use this example here to tell you that all is pure for those who are pure.
Titus 1/15. Actually Paul said that all things are legitimate, but not
all things are helpful and edifying and that he prefers not to be the slave
on anything. 1 Cor 10/23. There are many clerics who do not edify anything
and who keep condemning others. Maybe they are the ones to be given up. Paul
said that whatever does not origin from faith is sin Rm 14/23. The most
terrible thing is the negative grip of these clerics on the souls of the people
they seek to dominate with their laws. When they keep saying and repeating to
those who come and listen to them that the devil is everywhere, these brave
Christians cannnot do anything creative and are filled with convictions imposed
upon them and which are perfecty stupid. To love the world, is to love the things
with the intention to satiate our passions Jm 4/3-4. The spirit which
rules this world is the spirit of egoism. We are not baptised with this spirit,
but with the Spirit of God. Thus the Spirit helps us know the things which God
has given us by his grace. 1 Cor 2/12.
Those
who understand literally that we should not love the world, nor what is in the
world, should not love what is good to eat and drink. They should give up whatever
is beautiful, i.e: the sunset, the song of the birds, their wife, husband or
children, for in Truth, they are all in this world. Religion makes mad!
It
is what a true disciple of Jesus-Christ should be. A person who follows Jesus-Christ
and not a religion is worthy. We cannot serve two masters. Whoever serves Jesus-Christ
according to His holy biblical discipline is aproved by God. See
Doctrine of Christ. He who takes his own cross is worthy Matt 10/38.
The workers should receive their salary because they are worhty Luke 17/7.
We should act with dignity.
YHWH.
In
the Old Testament, we know God under his Hebrew ''tetragram'' YHWH. YHWH is
YaHWeH. In the New Testament, the name of the Lord is Yahshua, Jesus who means
''YaHWeH saves''.
In
order that the whole world knows that the ''tetragram'' which gave the name
of the Covenant of the Old Testament is applied to Jesus-Christ, this ''tetragram''
has been written above the head of Jesus-Christ while he was on the cross. It
was written in the three main languages of the time (Greek, Hebrew and latin)
Jn 19/19.
The
Hebrew text said:
''Yahschua
Hanozri Wumelech Hajehudim''.
This
means: ''Jesus of Nazareth, king of the Jews''.
The
initials of these words very precisly form the ''tetragram'' YHWH as God had
revealed to Moses. It cannot be more perfect than this!
On
the cross, there was thus the inscription which revealed who was this Jesus-Christ.
He was YaHWeH. The YaHWeH of the Old Testament; YaHWeH has come in the flesh
to redeem us. See Trinity. He who
has ears to hear and a brain to understand, let him understand. He who has eyes
to see, let him see!
Blessed
are the eyes, the ears and the brain which see, hear and understand the God
revealed!
YOKE.
A
yoke is placed on the neck of the farm animals to hitch them up together. If
you don't carry the yoke with Jesus, you inevitably carry that of Satan, or
the oppression.
Jesus'
yoke is easy and his burden is light Matt 11/29. Paul asks us not to
be under the yoke of the foreigners 2 Cor 6/14. Don't put yourself under
the yoke of servitude. Gal 5/1
ZABULON. O.T.
Son of Jacob and of Lea Gn 30/19. There is a tribe of Zabulon. Jacob blesses him Jn 49/13. Zabulon united with Debora and Barak to fight against those who are hostile to Israel Jg 4/4-6. He sided with Gedeon to fight the Midianites Jg 6/33-35.
ZACHARIAH. N.T.
He
is the father of John-the-Baptist. He was sacrificator. An angel announced to
him the birth of his son Lk 1/5-25. He recovered the ability to speak
Lk 1/59-79.
Who is the Zechariah son of Barachiah who was killed between the temple and the altar? Matt 23/35.
There
is a Zechariah who was assassinated in the Court of the House of the Eternal.
But his father was named Jehoiada. 2 Ch 24/20-22.
It
seems that there is somehow a mispelling. Who says that the father of John-the-Baptist
was not assassinated between the altar and the Temple?
Thus,
the first sacrificator, Abel and the last, Zachariah would have been assassinated.
''From the blood of the righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of
Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. Truly I say to
you, all this will come upon this generation'' Matt 23/36 Lk 11/51.
This Greek word means: ''unconditional supporter, totally devoted''. It was a Jewish religious group who was very nationalist, militant. They mixed up politics and religion, and therefore were leaning toward fanaticism. They are the people who triggered the Roman repression which resulted in the fall of Jerusalem. There was a Zealot in the team of Jesus-Christ Lk 6/15. Ac 1/13. But Jesus-Christ disliked the brutal manners of the Zealots. Lk 6/27.
ZECHARIAH. O.T.
It
is Zechariah who prophesied around 520 BC. He was living at the same time as
the prophet Haggai Ez 5/1. 6/14.
There
is a book of Zechariah. It talks mainly of the coming of Jesus-Christ. Zech
9/9. 11/12-13. 12/10. 13/6. Ch 1-8, Visions. Ch 9-14 others visions
about the Messiah, of the time of the end of the gathering of Israel, of the
last war and of Jesus-Christ returning.
ZEPHANIAH. O.T.
A
prophet who lived at the time of the king Josias between 639 and 608 BC.
There is a book of Zephaniah. Ch 1, the day where the wrath and distress comes. Ch 2 Seek justice and humility. Ch 3 the moment where God gathers the nations to spill His wrath on them.
ZION.
The
city of David is called Zion 1 Kg 8/1. Out of Zion shall go forth the
law Is 2/2-3. Mi 4/2. A redeemer will come for Zion Is 59/20.
I shall bring you back to to Zion Jer 3/14. See
Jerusalem. What is valid for the Jewish people also applies to the Christians.
The Ordinances practiced in Zion (In the Church Community of Jerusalem of the
beginning ) must be restored at the end.
She
was the first wife of Moses. She was the daughter of Jethro Ex 2/21. 18/2.
You
have just turned a page. After reading such a book, you cannot continue to be
the same person. You had many questions, you have received many answers in this
Book. But I exhort you to read it once again so that you find what you did not
notice yet. There are so many things in these pages, that only one reading is
not enough to be truly satisfied. I am sure that you have many questions which
remain unanswered. Pray and meditate these things most carefully. The Lord Jesus-Christ
will not be long before shedding his Light on what you may not yet manage to
believe.
Above
all, remember that this is all a Love Story between you and the Lord Jesus-Christ.
Yours
faithfully, Michael Genton.
