God's Incarnation.
The one God from without, came through one man from within. Let me explain. First and foremost, the laws of physics dictate that every action, has a reaction. Let us start from the very beggining. The big bang, being a rapid expansion of energy, that previously was not in existence. The big bang was a reaction, now the question becomes, what is the action that caused it? Cause and Effect. The big bang being a flash of expanding energy, spacetime itself emerged. However, we have always known, through scripture in Genesis 1:3. "God said let there be light" and boom, we perceived the big bang.
Whatever is capable, of creating a universe from nothing, with such brilliant compexity; could be nothing short of God. Or is it more probable that the big bang caused itself? Which would violate the laws of physics. The universe obeys particular parameters, that "emerged", laws dont create themselves. Speaking of which, the universe that emerged from that chaotic conception, is not random nor disorganized. It takes God, to create order out of Chaos, as desribed in genesis 1:2 "The earth was without form and void, darkness was upon the faces of the deep, and the spirit of God moved upon the waters" Out of primordial chaos, in darkness, the spirit of God weaved the beautiful complexity of existence into being.
To create, not only the energy, but the
space-time around it, itself. Whatever caused the universe, was obviously outside of it. That is why in the present, you cannot see God, similarly to how you would not expect to see the director, in the actual movie scenes, but he manages the scenes from the outside. However, God is both outside and within the universe. Let me explain, the word 'heaven' has three ways it is utilized. Acts 1:The three heavens are; the first is the atmosphere; where fallen angels reside, ephesians 2:2 "In which you used to live. When you followed the ways of this world, and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, The spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient" thus the treacherous nature of this world. Loving the world, is antagonistic to Gods love as expressed in John 2: 16-17"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of his father is not in him".
The second is the stars and galaxies. Laniakea the supercluster that includes our milky way, is sometimes referred to as "Immeasurable heaven", this second heaven, is the last one in the physical universe.The third is the spiritual realm of God and his angels, as written in Revelations 12: 7-9 "And there was a war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was there a place found for them in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him".Thus the devil tricked man into sinning, but God stated "And I will put an enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers, he will crush your head and you will strike his heel". A reference to Christ's crucifixion as his strike on his heel, which resulted in salvation of mankind, and in Revelation Satan is cast into the lake of fire, Christ crushes his head. Note, it said "offspring" individually, meaning it was one person. Jesus Christ.
The devil infiltrated the world from the top to the bottom, descending from heaven and ruining man. God saved us from the bottom to the top, christ came through flesh, resurrected and saved mankind, and them ascended into heaven.Jehovah, The God from with-out, became a man, from within. How do we know God was planning to come as man? All of mans kingdoms fall but Gods is eternal. This is what he told David, about hisdescendant ruling for eternity, in 2 Samuel 7:16 "Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.’” this find fulfillment in Luke 1:35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God."
Christ, is the word of God, because he is the expression of God, as stated in John 1;"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God". Christ is the visible image of the invisible God as stated in John 14:9 "Jesus said unto him, “Have I been so long a time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, ‘Show us the Father’?". We are saved, by faith, not by works. The purpose of the law, is to shine a light on sin, through the law as sinners we are condemned to death, but through grace, we are saved. According to the commentery, in the book of mark states. "The laws capacity is to bring the knowledge of sin, of this excellent use is the law: it converts the soul,opens the eyes and prepared the way for the Lord".
The cross, is the intersection between justice from above, and mercy all across. Justice because sin must be punished, and mercy because people are forgiven. The crucification, did both salvation for those who believe, and justice for Christ bore the sin of the world. Just as in the beginning man sinned by the fruit on the tree, and God told him he would die, not just physically but death is a separation from God; Christ bore the sin of man on the tree, and gave us life, spiritually by connecting us to God and physically by granting us eternal life, like when he brought some one back to life literally in John 1140 "Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you would see God’s glory?” 41 So the stone was moved away from the entrance of the tomb.
Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you for hearing me. 42 I’ve known that you always hear me. However, I’ve said this so that the crowd standing around me will believe that you sent me.” 43 After Jesus had said this, he shouted as loudly as he could, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 The dead man came out. Strips of cloth were wound around his feet and hands, and his face was wrapped with a handkerchief. Jesus told them, “Free Lazarus, and let him go.” the son, came through man, and took the punishment of death, for all who sin." Not only that, but opened the gateway to eternal life, as he elaborates in John 11: 25 "Jesus said to her, “I am the one who brings people back to life, and I am life itself. Those who believe in me will live even if they die. 26 Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe that?”27 Martha said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who was expected to come into the world.” Jesus elaborates in Joh 11 "25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
One God, created one world, and came into this world, through one nation, from one tribe, through one person; Jesus Christ. God came to the world, through a tribe as one person. Jesus Christ. The one God from with out, came through as a man from within.
