Why Did Moses Remove His Shoes in Front of the Burning Bush?

What Is The Real Reason God Told Moses To Remove His Shoes When He Started To Speak With Him?

Question: Why did Moses remove his shoes in front of the burning bush? What is the real reason God told Moses to remove his shoes when he started to speak with him?

Answer: Greetings to you in Jesus wonderful name!

Here is the context of the Scripture you are speaking about, "2 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. 3 Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.” 4 So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” 5 Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.”" (Exo 3:2-5).

Simply, the answer to your first question is, Moses removed his shoes in front of the burning bush because God told him to take his sandals off his feet.

To answer your second question, We need to also look why people even in the days of Moses wore sandals? Sandals during biblical times were of important significance, like it was made of dead animals dry leather and were worn to protect the feet from burning sand and dampness. Sandals might also be of wood, with leather straps (Genesis 14:23; Isaiah 5:27). Sandals were not worn in the house nor in the sanctuary (Exodus 3:5; Joshua 5:15).

Sandals picks up the dirt on the roads and every where we walk on, so we always put it outside of the house and enter in to it. To give respect or show a sign of our reverence for someone or someplace, we remove our sandals and enter in with our bare feet. Especially to all places of worship and our living places.

We know that sandals are made of dead animal skins, and therefore represent dead works of the believer, or the sin nature, or the works of sin nature, or any human effort to justify ourselves before anyone (Gen 3:21-22).

The house or the sanctuary is supposed to be kept a holy place, as our Holy God has promised to move in our midst, and he is the one who has redeemed us for Himself (1 Pet 1:16; Lev 11:44-45; 26:11-12). Where ever the Presence of God appears, that place becomes a holy place.

Hence symbolically God said to Moses to remove his sandals, as Moses could not meet God based on his own efforts or works of righteousness which to God is like a rag or dirt picked up by the sandals on the road, or it is like our human nature of sin trying to justify itself before God, our fallen nature picks up sinful tendencies when it works hard like a sandal which God hates (Isa 64:6). So it is not by our efforts of human righteousness, but by faith in God's own righteousness through which He always justifies every person who believes in Him. God reveals Himself to all believers who acknowledges their sin nature and asks God to forgive their sins, just as He revealed to Moses who removed his sandals immediately and began to hear God speak to Him face to face (Php 3:9-11; 1 Cor 1:30-31).

By removing his sandals, Moses acknowledged the holiness of God and was willing to hear what God wanted to say to him.

Another important point is, God commands Moses to cast away his old life and get ready for a new one. God wants Moses to leave shepherding the sheep of his father-in-law Jethro and start shepherding the sheep of his father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the people of Israel.

God wanted Moses to embrace a new purpose for living, a new righteousness by faith, a new miraculous courage to speak on behalf of God, a new power from heaven to lead His people in to their promised land, a new holiness from heaven by obeying the Word of the Lord spoken to him!

God was calling Moses to wear a new sandals "that will not wear out on [..his] feet” no matter how many years ahead he will use it unlike his old sandals (Deuteronomy 29:5), it will make his feet beautiful when he wears it to fulfill God's purpose for his life (Song 7:1). In short, God was calling Moses to put on the robe of His righteousness and put on the new sandals of the good news of God's redemption to the children of Israel (Acts 12:8; Eph 4:24; 6:14-15). Glory to God!

Why God Told The Israelites To Remove Their Ornaments And Jewellery?

Can A Christian Wear Jewelry Or We Should Abstain From It Like The Israelites Were Commanded By God? What Is The Spiritual Significance Of The New Testament Message That God Wants To Convey To Us Through This Particular Event?

Question:Can a Christian wear Jewelry or we should abstain from it like the Israelites were commanded by God? What is the spiritual significance of the New Testament message that God wants to convey to us through this particular event? Thanks in advance for your answer. God bless You!

Answer: Greetings in the glorious name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

We see what you have discussed in the following Scripture in context:

"4 And when the people heard this bad news, they mourned, and no one put on his ornaments. 5 For the LORD had said to Moses, “Say to the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. I could come up into your midst in one moment and consume you. Now therefore, take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do to you.’” 6 So the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by Mount Horeb." (Exo 33:4-6).

Here in the above verse God told the children of Israel to take off their ornaments, because in the previous chapter "the people were unrestrained...among their enemies....(thus) the Lord plagued because of what they did with the calf that Aaron made." (Exo 32:25-26, 35). In other words, these people were not serious enough to follow the Lord in holiness, but rather like the pagans around them and godless idolaters, they became like them in making a golden calf for themselves which had caused the Lord to remove the Angel of His Presence in their midst and told that he will make him rather go before them, who was none other than Jesus the Christ in His pre-existence state of his incarnation, accompanied the nation of Israel everywhere they went (Exo 32:1-4; 1 Cor 10:4). Do we not fast from something wrong we have done and our attitude towards the means that caused us to fall in to temptation (Isa 58:6-9)?

Thus because the golden ornaments from their ears went straight to make a god of golden calf for themselves to say that it delivered them from Egypt, and that even Aaron the High Priest who is supposed to speak for the people to the Lord and make sacrifice for them heeded their voice to make that idol because of their coercion, what else is left but to say to the people to remove their ornaments that led them to idolatry.

The god of golden calf that they saw in the Egyptian land never left their heart, even though their own LORD GOD has taken them supernaturally out of the land of Egypt to enter in to the land of Canaan. God has to intervene to make them serious about the offence they have committed, for if God has judged them all, in a fraction of a second they would have all be consumed. Moses intervened with God to plead for their lives and for the Angel of His Presence to continue with them and be in their midst. God heard Moses hear felt cry for the children of Israel and promised to continue in their midst to guide them to the Canaan land despite their failings (Exo 33:13-23).

We must understand that it was God who told Moses to instruct all the people to ask the Egyptians for gold, silver and all the ornaments and clothing from the Egyptians because they were defrauded and used as wage less laborers for many many generations, so that they could rightfully plunder these people and instead clothe their own sons and daughters (Exo 3:22; 12:35).

Then it teaches us the lesson, that gold in itself is not evil, but gold to become a god is the problem for the stubborn-hearted unsaved people of Israel. Though they were saved from the sinful slavery of Egypt, within their own heart the attitude of sinful slavery of Egypt remained in them to cause rebellion against the Lord God their redeemer and Creator. In other words, knife in itself is not prohibited by God, when it is used for good things like cutting household vegetables and all other daily uses, but when it is used to kill a neighbor, God will always tell the human judge to take the knife out of the reach of the killer lest he kill many more like that. That is what had happened with the children of Israel.

Remember, in the sinless state of the Garden of Eden, the river Pishon which flowed right through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold, God Himself has revealed that "the gold of that land is good" (Gen 2:11-12).

But the same gold became a snare to humans in the fallen state of sin, after Adam and Eve fell in to sin (Gen 3:6-7). That is why God for the redeemed humans have kept the gold under their feet in the city of God, the holy city, New Jerusalem where the streets are paved and made fully of pure and rare gold (Rev 21:21).

When God blessed Abraham in "all things", silver, gold and many livestock's and servants increased and multiplied so much that he became great (Gen 24:1, 34-58), but the eyes of Abraham did not settle on earthly things, but on God and heavenly things, who gave Him everything and made him great. So this is pattern for all believers, one can have all things, but should never be mastered by any except God and His heavenly things (1 Cor 6:12; 10:23). All things are lawful for a Christian doesn't mean all things are helpful and good for building up our spiritual life, qualifying us for eternal heavenly life, which is the primary improvement that God desires in us more than our temporal comfort and easy going life.

So like Abraham God may bless us with gold and silver, but what do we use it for, (i.e.) our self-indulgence or like building the Kingdom of God on earth, will decide how effectively we have used it to be helpful and build up our spiritual lives. As we know that the joy of sharing, and the peace of keeping all people edified and filling our lives through good deeds in the godly way to build it righteously will decide how well the Kingdom of God is built in our lives through the help of the Holy Spirit who gives all these things (Rom 14:17).

Even in the New Testament, the apostles said the same in a couple of places, "3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God." ( 1 Pet 3:3-4) and "8 I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; How women should be attired 9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety (accepted standard) and moderation, not (just elaborately) with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, 10 but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. 11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submission." (1 Tim 2:8-11). In the above verses, it does not prohibit women in any way to wear gold ornaments, but it clearly outlines that their heart should not be on gold and external makeup, but on the God who has given them all gold and everything they needed in life, so that their character can be gentle and submissive to God by being submissive to their husband. Beauty outwards should never be at the cost of inner beauty of the women, which is gentle and quiet spirit, because the inner beauty is all the more important than just the outer beauty (Prov 11:22)! The ostentatious and showy display of wealth, beauty and luxury to impress others should be avoided at all cost by all godly men and especially women, this is the bottom line message that the New Testament conveys. Praise the Lord!

The believers love for the law, commandments, knowledge and instruction of the Word of God should be much much more than for gold and silver or for that reason anything else, only then the soul can benefit from the Presence of God (Psa 119:72, 127; Prov 8:10).

In the New Agreement that Jesus has made with God, the believer is not to be conformed with the world's attitude of do's and don'ts, but rather as a living sacrifice each one give their body voluntarily for God, with a renewed mind within them through the Word of God, so that He could use them all for His Glory (Rom 12:1-2).

In my life personally, I have seen covetous namesake believers without proper understanding of the Gospel, when they lost gold by their own conspiracy, they were sick to the stomach so that even their blood pressure shot up, which showed how much they trusted in their temporal gold. Shame on such people, their God is not Jesus Christ but their god is gold. May God help them repent and become a responsible citizens of the Kingdom of God!

Through this event that happened to the children of Israel, Paul the apostle clearly revealed, that it is an example to us who believe in Jesus Christ at the ends of the ages, that we must not trust in gold and become idolaters, or covet for anything of the material likeness of the earthly temporal riches, and become unpleasing to God, and thus waste our earthly life to fall to die, being destroyed by the sinful bite of deceptive serpent the devil through tempting Christ, or complain about God and His appointed earthly leaders to get destroyed by destroyers spiritually (1 Cor 10:1-11). May God help us to keep our eyes on God and not on gold, even if God provides in abundance. Instead let us use our earthly treasures of gold and all other material things to collect treasures in heaven, and not waste it on earth by only using it for ourselves where thieves steal and moth eat everything over a period of time (Matt 6:19-21). If we now do not use the gold or our earthly riches for the Kingdom of God now, we might lose it soon forever, and also losing our opportunity of limited time which God provided for us to make a eternal impact in our generation for the Glory of God (Acts 13:36). Hallelujah!

Do We Hear The Voice Of God With Our Physical Ears Or Spiritual Ears Now?

Does God Still Speak To Our Physical Ears Or Does He Speak Directly To Our Spiritual Ears Only?

Question: Can we hear God’s voice physically in our lives today? Or is it a spiritual voice in our heart, through His Word primarily and then through dreams and visions occasionally as a sheep we come to know the voice of our chief Shepherd Jesus Christ?


Answer: Greetings! Praise the Lord!

The Israelites trembled when God began to speak and told to Moses to hear what God says and then tell them to do it (Exo 20:18-21). Thus 10 commandments of God was provided for the people of Israel to follow, which must be understood as the voice of God to the nation of Israel, and through them to the whole humanity (Luke 16:29; Deut 30:14, 15-16). But still they desired that the Messiah as God might come to them, to rise from the dead and speak to their hearts spiritually and personally to rule their lives as it was prophesied by Moses and all the prophets of the Old Testament (Luke 16:30-31; Deut 18:15-22). What happened to the Israelites were, because of stiff-necked and stubborn-heartedness, some of them who realized that they were sinners in need of salvation repented and believed the baptism of John as well as the words of Jesus the Christ, but most of them did not repent but chose to reject the direct voice of the Lord God the Messiah who was like Moses sent to the nation of Israel to establish a New Covenant with God (Exo 33:1-6; John 4:22; Matt 15:24; 12:38-42; Luke 7:29-35).

Thus from that time onward when the nation of Israel rejected Him and did not take the voice of the counsel of God, Jesus turned towards the Gentiles and the good news was commanded to be spread in all the whole wide world, so that those who accept the virgin birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, might be saved for eternity ahead (Mark 16:15-16).

As a believer, we all hear the voice of God not physically, but spiritually within our heart through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior (Heb 4:7). Hallelujah! So JESUS from the New Jerusalem (i.e. Mount Zion) which is our headquarters, as our GOD SPEAKS TODAY IN OUR HEARTS spiritually (Heb 12:22)!

So God himself said that the first time He spoke to people physically, all trembled at the holiness of God and therefore they did not want to hear His voice as the whole earth shook when He spoke (Heb 12:26). So this time through Jesus, as a still small voice he has stooped low to speak within our hearts (Heb 12:25; Matt 11:28-30; 1 Kings 19:12). But this time all who reject his voice will see God as a consuming fire in hell and no other way God could any more speak to them there. As their fate will be sealed forever in hell without God after their physical death, because they do not want to hear the voice of God their Creator or obey Him in their lives. So God wants all people to repent and turn towards Him before their physical death, so that they could HEAR HIS VOICE IN THEIR NEW reborn SPIRIT to avoid the fires of God's eternal judgment, where the soul will suffer the hell fire that does not quench and where the worms does not die (Mark 9:43-44). Hallelujah!

So you may ask me, whether any humans could still physically hear the voice of God? My answer will be yes and a no, yes because that too will be a vision, dream and likewise all spiritual things and not a physical voice (Acts 26:14; 22:9, 14-15, 17; 9:3-4). But it may seem to us like we have heard the sound of His voice physically, but that too is a spiritual experience and encounter that God gives certain people who are in certain situations to turn them towards Him closer and closer through Jesus Christ! A no, I say to hearing God's voice physically, because if God really speaks, the earth will tremble and shake and humans too will tremble, let alone hear him speak so that they could obey (Psa 104:32; Heb 12:26).

God's word in our hand is the primary way God speaks in our spirit through Jesus Christ quickening it to all our needs in all situations through His Spirit if we keep believing it (Matt 4:4; Ps 119:105; John 15:7; 17:16-17; Php 4:23; 2 Cor:13-14). His word works in all the lives of those who believe it in their heart and patiently wait for its fulfillment (1 Thess 2:13).

In the secondary way, God's voice can be heard through dreams, visions, prophesy, situations and the like (Matt 2:12; Acts 2:17-18, 21). We as the Church are blessed with all spiritual things in the heavenly places, this is our inheritance in Christ Jesus (Eph 1:3). "He who has ears, let him hear," Jesus said and also the Holy Spirit says to the churches, which means once Jesus Christ makes us a new creature in Him when we first believed in Him (2 Cor 5:17), our inner spiritual ears get opened to hear the direct voice of God in our spirit (Matt 11:15; Rev 2:29). Hallelujah!

So whether we hear the voice of God within our spirit or through other means as we have seen and discussed above, everything will be a spiritual voice of God (Heb 4:7). God can choose to open our physical ears to make us hear His voice in a limited way by limiting His glory, but very rarely this happens because God wants to honor His Word above all other means and methods (Psa 138:2). To tell specifically, only one time He directly spoke physically to his people from the mountain (Heb 12:25-29). But in these last of the last days, God has spoken in his word, that He will once again through His physical voice will not only shake the earth but also the heavens so that those spiritual and metaphysical eternal things of the new creation may continue to remain, and thus the physical and temporal might pass away in to oblivion. Glory to God!

Did They Hear God Or Not Physically?

Why Does Acts 9:7 Say That Those Traveling With Paul Heard A Voice, But Acts 22:9 Says That They Heard No Voice?

Question: Why does Acts 9:7 say that those traveling with Paul heard a voice, but Acts 22:9 says that they heard no voice?


Greetings in the mighty name of Jesus!

Here are the Scriptures you discussed, Acts 9:7 says, "And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one." Later when Paul testified and recounted of this experience in Acts 22:9 he said, "And those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me."

Is it a contradiction within the Scripture, by no means it is. Because the first time God spoke specifically to Paul, Luke understood that the message was a direct one to Paul, who conversed with the Lord Jesus. But during the conversation between God and Paul, Paul lost his physical vision because of the supernatural spiritual vision that he encountered and saw. These men need to understand what experience Paul saw and as a result lost his sight, so in a limited way like sonic boom or something like that was caused by God to make those people who came with him to realize of that supernatural experience in their lives personally.

So did these men who journeyed with Paul heard a sound? Yes but it was not the personal conversation that had taken place between God and Saul. That is why after Saul was blinded, "they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus", where Jesus instructed him to go (Acts 9:8). If they had not personally experienced the supernatural vision, they would not have believed Saul to lead him in to Damascus where Jesus instructed him to go. Praise the Lord!

In Acts 22:9, Luke the writer there reveals the exact thing we were discussing earlier, that those who accompanied Saul officially experienced the light or the sound of the sonic boom that God released to make them understand the holy vision he has given to Saul. Lo and behold, they experienced it personally and were afraid of God's presence and activity of something supernatural that had happened to Saul. But the personal conversation that had taken place between God and Saul was encrypted by God in that vision, that those who were with him did not hear it but only came to believe what Saul said to them.

Thus hearing what Saul said, they helped blind Saul to go to Damascus where Jesus instructed him to go in the vision.

Glory to God!

What Does It Really Mean When Jesus Is Expressed As The First Born In The Scripture?

Is Jesus A Created Being Of God, Because God Says That He Is The First Born?

Question: What does it really mean when God says Jesus the Christ as His first born? Some people say that, because God says that Jesus is the first born, it means that He is the first created being. How do you see this from the Scripture?

Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name! Praise the Lord!

We see in the context of the Scripture, Six times the Lord Jesus is declared to be the first-born of God (Romans 8:29; Colossians 1:15, 18; Hebrews 1:6; 12:23; Revelation 1:5). These passages declare the preexistence, the sovereignty, and the redemption that Christ offers. But not even once it has spoken about him being created.

There are those people who want to twist the Scripture to their own destruction (2 Pet 3:16). They take the literal sense of the word to mean something that the Scripture does not express it to be. So such wrong doctrines take people directly to hell fire, because Jesus Himself expressed that the belief that does not ascribe the status of deity that He already is before the creation of all things, such belief cannot be able to save a person from their sins or take them to heaven in their eternity ahead after their physical death (John 8:24; Jam 2:14).

Jesus was the one and only true God in human form. This is a core doctrine of the Christian faith – the Deity of Christ. Anyone who plays with the Deity of Christ to make him become something else that He is really not, is really heading straight to hell fire unless and until they repent and turn to God to ask of His forgiveness for indulging in heresy. No child of God will dare to play with the doctrine of Christology because the fire of God's judgment will start to burn against those who toy with it.

Let us take each verse, one at a time to find what it speaks about Jesus really.

1) ROMANS 8:29-30 - "29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified."

The above verse clearly shows that Jesus the Christ was the "firstborn among many brethren," which in reality means, that Jesus as God the Son was predestined by God the Father to come to the earth as a man and "learn obedience ... unto death, even the death of the cross" (Heb 5:8; Php 2:8) as God's bond-servant (Php 2:7), so that the image of God that gets imbibed in the soul of Jesus Christ as a human might be taught to all his brethren (Matt 11:28-30). In other words, Jesus earned the rights of first born through obedience to God the Father in the above verse in Rom 8:29, so that likewise we who follow Jesus become the child of God, and through Him become conformed to His spiritual image and character in our soul, which will stay with us for eternity and likewise be rewarded accordingly by Jesus in glory for the rest of our eternity (John 1:12; Rev 22:12). Hence the firstborn here in the above verse speaks about the responsibility and privilege of Jesus as the first one to obey God the Father on earth without sin, and also with the power of the Holy Spirit overcome sin through perfect obedience, and as a result earn the privilege of His sonship as a perfect human, which then He shares with all the human beings who will believe Him to become His brethren and also be rewarded for their obedience accordingly, for eternity ahead! Praise the Lord!


2) COLOSSIANS 1:15-17 - "15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist."

The above verse shows that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, it is described by God in anthropomorphic language, which means in a humanly understandable way to make us understand of the heavenly reality. God the Son and God the Father along with God the Holy Spirit are uncreated, all powerful, knowing, & present and the first cause, who is the reason for his own existence! Hence to say Jesus Christ as the firstborn here means, He is the God over all creation and the reason for its existence. That is why Paul the apostle who wrote it, began to explain in the next verse, all things in heavens and earth were not only created by Him, but as uncreated first cause of all things, it was created for Him. Hallelujah! This reveals that the firstborn mentioned in the above verse speaks about the deity of Jesus and his Oneness with God, a class apart from all his creation! Because Jesus was God and is God and forever will be God who created all things, He is before all things and in Him all things consist or hold together having a reason for its existence. Hallelujah!


3) COLOSSIANS 1:18 - "And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence."

In the above verse Jesus Christ is expressed as "the first born from the dead", which in other words means, Jesus Christ was the first human to rise up again and never die again in his supernatural glorious body which will stay with him for the rest of the eternity. Jesus Christ by rising up from the dead has become the beginning of the Church on earth, "the chief cornerstone" (1 Peter 2:7), as He is the head of the body. All things created by Jesus Christ, for Him, He has become a perfect living example by the grace of God, so that all new creation in the Church might glorify and worship Him as the creator of all things through their resurrection and obedience to the Father God (1 Cor 5:17). The very resurrection of Jesus the Christ, reveals that the preeminence He deserves is not just something that He not only deserves as our Creator God, but also He earned this privilege so that all who desire eminence in the Church His Body might learn like Jesus to humble themselves before God the Father so that they can be lifted up in glory just like Jesus (Jam 4:6; 1 Peter 5:5)! As Jesus is the perfect example, a disciple can be like his Master and should be satisfied with it even though they are unprofitable servants with a sin nature within them that leads them astray (Luke 17:10; Prov 3:5), but can never become greater than him as He is sinless and preeminent (Matt 10:24-25). Here in the above verse, the firstborn is the first human to live forever, who is the resurrected Jesus that it speaks about.


4) HEBREWS 1:6 - "But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all the angels of God worship Him.”"

When Jesus brings the Church the firstborn in to the world at His Second Coming, God the Father tells all the good angels of God who have served along with him in the past to worship Him as God the Son only deserves the worship for creating them all. There are two things to clarify in this above verse, one is the status of the firstborn had been given to the Church in Christ Jesus. Each one of us in our spirit is "born from above… born of water and the Spirit (John 3:5), thus in the Kingdom of God each one of us have entered "through the word of God" as the firstborn in our spirit-man (1 Pet 1:23).

A married couple’s firstborn male child was given priority and preeminence in the family, and the best of the inheritance. The nation of Israel is identified as God’s “firstborn” in the Bible (Exodus 4:22; Jeremiah 31:9); in other words, Israel held a special place of privilege and blessing among the nations physically. In the New Testament, the Church is the "new ...Israel" of God (Gal 6:15-16), which means we as the Church are the Spiritual Israel who hold a special place of firstborn privilege and blessing spiritually in the heavenly places. We as the Church of the firstborn of God will very soon one day come with the Lord Jesus Christ to rule this earth for a thousand years time from the new heaven and new earth which will be our abode for eternity ahead, and will rule the present earth under the direction of the New Jerusalem, which is the headquarters of God around which the new heaven and earth will be orbiting around, thus receiving and walking in the light of it to transmit it to the present earth (Eph 1:3; Rev 19:14-16; 21:1-2; 2 Pet 3:13).

Thus the firstborn in the above Heb 1:6 is the Church which was brought in to existence the first time spiritually as a "new creation" by Jesus Christ, and again when he brings the Church in to the world, it will be the second time and the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to rule the earth with it for a thousand years time. Hallelujah! Glory Be To God!


5) HEBREWS 12:23 - "23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel."

Here in the above verse, "the general assembly" are all those who by faith have entered in to the New Jerusalem, from the first Adam to the time before the resurrection of Jesus Christ in which all those believing Old Testament saints were all raised in their new glorious bodies and were taken to heaven (1 Cor 15:45; Matt 27:51-53; Eph 4:8; 1 Pet 3:19; 4:6). We know all those who have believed in the virgin birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ from the day of Pentecost have been registered in the book of life as the firstborn with in the Church (1 Cor 15:1-4). To God the judge over all things, who have already justified the spirits of just men by making it perfect through the Mediator of the New Covenant, Jesus Christ who shed His own blood for them and took His blood to heaven to sprinkle on the mercy seat of God, through which better things of the new order is spoken to and of them from heaven. Praise the Lord! Hence the firstborn spoken over in the above verse is about the Church. Praise the Lord!


6) REVELATION 1:5 - "5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen."

Here in the above verse "the firstborn from the dead" speaks about the first person to rise from the dead to live forever and ever, and also it speaks about the rights and privileges of the firstborn that Jesus inherited as a perfect man through obedience to the Father-God, which made God declare that He was pleased with the life and obedience of God the Son, and therefore He could be that person who would be a substitute to justify them and become the firstborn from the dead (Luke 3:22; Matt 3:15-17).

By rising up as a human in a glorious body, Jesus Christ has become the King of Kings and Lord of Lords within the Church (Rev 19:16), and the ruler over the kings of the present earth (Isa 9:6-7), His increasing government upon this earth will increase and increase until one day the zeal of the Lord will take control of the whole wide wold for the Glory of God.

Through Christ loving us and washings us from our sins through his own blood, has made us kings and priests to God the Father, all this was done for the glory and dominion of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever! Hallelujah!

Hence the firstborn is the one and only Jesus Christ who rose from the dead as the first glorious man to live forever and ever, for the Glory of God! Jesus Christ is also the firstborn or in other words the first cause and the Creator over all creation, reveals that He is God who has come as a man to be one among them on earth through the avatar predetermined to redeem all humankind. Thus each context of the first born is unique and specific regarding Jesus Christ and the Church. So one should never mix it in a foolish way to say something that the Scripture never meant to say, and thus become a cult with wrong doctrine and spiritual cancer to lead others too in the way of hell fire. BEWARE!!! REPENT OF WRONG CHRISTOLOGY TO TURN AGAIN TO THE WAY OF LIFE TOWARDS HEAVEN BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!


"Never produce the strange fire of toning down and touching up the Christology of Jesus, lest the fire of heaven consume you in hell fire."— Abraham Israel

WHO IS GOD EXCEPT THE LORD?

What Does It Mean When Jesus Calls God as 'My God'?

"For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?" (2 Sam 22:32, NKJV).

"The Lord said to my Lord" (PSA 110:1), is as much true in the life of Jesus, as "My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me." In other words, Father God in heaven called Jesus as Lord, because both were co-equal and co-eternal, one in essence, nature, power, action, and both remained as one God along with the Holy Spirit. In the same way, as no one is God except the Father and His Son Jesus Christ who has revealed Him to us through the Holy Spirit, Jesus calling the Father as 'My God' and the Spirit the second time as 'My God', not only shows his perfect humanity, but also it reveals the coequal nature with both the Father and the Holy Spirit. Praise the Lord!

So no one should ever say, that just because Jesus said, 'My God' shows that He is just a human, sorry the truth is, He is more than that, He was God, He is and forever He will be. He cannot change as he has only one nature, the nature of that sinless God within him in his spirit-man and the human nature He inherited through him being born as a human grew with in him, as he remained sinless in his soul through the power of the Holy Spirit. Incarnation of Jesus the Man as the foretold Christ the Lord God is the true revelation of God for all humanity, there is no other religion or doctrine that can introduce God to humans and bring them in to a living and loving relationship with God like this only way ordained by God even before the foundation of this world. Jesus always remains as perfect God and Man, none can be like him, whether humans or angels, the one and only Mediator between God and humans. Only Jesus is worthy to be that human Mediator between God and humans, because he was, and is and forever will be God!

Glory to God! Hallelujah! Because Jesus as God became a human, that is why humans were able to become the child of the Most High God!

Because of Jesus, now we who have believed him as our personal Lord and Saviour, are given the power to live as the Child of God!

Praise the Lord!

THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER, WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN?

Does Begotten Son Means Jesus Was A Created Being?

Question: Does Begotten Son  means Jesus was a created Being?

Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful Name! 

I stand for unity with in the Church of God, but never at the cost of essential doctrines. In other words, unity in the essentials and diversity in the non-essentials. The essentials are the deity of Christ mainly, then the direct commandments of Christ like love, Trinity, etc...the non-essentials doesn't mean that these are not needed, but rather these are things like baptism in water, baptism in the Spirit, communion, holiness, etc.. which comes to each person through conviction and obedience which can only bring great and greater blessing to our spiritual life.


Most cults start by manipulating the essentials of Christology by the influence of deceptive spirits in the spirit world (demonic doctrine), they directly bring their secret heresies in disguise to deceive people by making Christ to be something that He is not. For example, they say Christ is just a man like any other prophets and apostles, others say that he is the highest angel, still others say He is a first-born son of God... which means he was the one who was first created by God before all. But these are the most essentials that should never be negotiated by all true Christians at any cost, as we all believe Christ as God the Son and the second person with in the Trinity. Because if Christ has not been God before the foundation of the world, he cannot either save humans from sin, nor be the Lord of Hosts over the angels who were created by God before the world began. Which highest angel will want to subject themselves to peer worship with out coveting the same for themselves, or which human will learn to worship the true God in and through a created being with out wanting to be a god as they are already created in His image, which in itself is idolatry?


The Bible clearly reveals, "No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him." (John 1:18, NKJV). As Jesus the Christ is the foretold God of the Scripture, who incarnated to be a human in an Avatar, the above scripture reveals that this uncreated being who is the first cause, saw the other person's of the Trinity and was in discussion and agreement of His visit with one another before the world began, after which He declared about the true God to humankind amongst whom He is one. Please note the very important phrase, "who is in the bosom of the Father". This does mean, even though Jesus was doing the ministry of the Father God on earth, relationally he was still God as His only begotten Son. Begotten in the natural sense does mean, 'cause or bring about through reproduction,' but Jesus being already God in existence, being co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit, he need not be brought in to existence and so God caused him to come to earth through mutual agreement and discussion between them. So Jesus was in the same mode as God, but he let all his privileges to remain unused except that which the Father felt pleased to use through him. In this way, the pact of salvation with in the Trinity for the benefit of humankind was fulfilled righteously without sin, so that all humanity who would believe Jesus would be redeemed from sin eternally to become God's children. Praise the Lord!


The wrong doctrine comes in when people take the literal meaning begotten out of the natural sense to either say, that Jesus was just a man like any other prophets or even Adam who in expressed in the Bible as the son of God in a physical sense, to trample His deity. Even those who question that God cannot have a son, they do out of natural sense when God speaks to us in a spiritual sense to see our obedience to his instruction. Jesus is not just begotten, but is the only begotten Son, which means He is the one and only Mediator model for mankind, a Savior God who became a man. When God calls Jesus as His only begotten Son, it is in an anthropomorphic sense, which means he has expressed a doctrine of belief, understandable and relatable to human understanding. So our job is not to question God and stay in unbelief, but rather be obedient enough to accept what God says, so that we can be saved from sin and therefore could be able to build our faith in God. Hallelujah! We are not made to test God, but rather we are made to trust Him and build a relationship with Him for eternity. Praise the Lord!


Finally, in the New Testament, the only place where the very word 'begotten' was used, clearly reveals the real prophetic meaning that God intended, in the following verse, "God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.’" (Acts 13:33, NKJV). In other words, Father begot Jesus on earth again when he raised Jesus again from the dead, in that, we have been guaranteed that we who believe Jesus now, not only get saved internally with a new spirit and a renewed soul, but also a supernatural body soon we will receive on the day of Rapture just like the only begotten Son of our Heavenly Father in heaven who was raised from the dead never to die again but live forever. Hallelujah! Glory be to God in the Highest. This is the true story of the only begotten Son, our dear LORD and Saviour who died for us and rose again as the Father's only begotten Son. Let none of you ever be misled by unbelief regarding the word begotten, because the true context points to Jesus resurrection and not His birth as a baby!

MAKING WAY FOR THE SOON COMING BATTLE OF EZEKIEL 38-39 LEADING TO ARMAGEDDON!!

Will Russia As Gog, The End Time Superpower Will Lead The Coalition Of Nations To Armageddon Against Christ?

In the last 24 hours, Ukraine president said that the war of Ukraine has come to a stalemate. The Italian woman President Meloni also expressed that Europe is becoming war weary because of constant supply of weapon support.

But the Russian President Putin denied it and in the last 24 hours have stuck so many towns that it has become the single biggest surprise attack since a long long time, which in itself is a strong statement of Russia that it is intended to continue its dominance against USA coalition.

According to the Bible, I clearly see Gog which is Russia, will become a end time leader and will cater China through its existing atheist KGB connection, and together they will take the Muslim coalition of Iran, Turkey, Germany, India, and many nations with them against the nation of Israel at end in which Christ has to come to rescue them from annihilation.

You might be thinking what about America, it will make way for the rising European Union and will stay with the G7 Young Lions to stay as much as possible on the side of Israel and it's allies. But when the end comes soon, America will be drained of its power.

European Union will be the greatest thought leader of the End time to maintain it's iron grip over the world through Antichrist and through the Catholic One World religion in the first half of the Daniel's 70th week.

You need to understand why Russia in the 2nd half of the Daniel's 70th week will become the military super power that it wants to be. Because while America as a Christian nation could not make the Atheist and Moslem follow them willingly, Russia could make this happen to unite the world, for which EU will finally want to recognize it with Antichrist as it's leader to unite the world. Above all, as the trending goes with Western nations to select a leader of the majority lineage nations to please them and take them along for trade and commerce, an Assyrian of Moslem mixed heritage will become it's leader. As long as material and money flows to them, Russia along with China will follow the Muslims and use their hatred for Jews to come against Israel finally, so that they will believe that they will be able to plunder it.

But remember, when Israel will be deceived by Antichrist, Russia and it's allies from all nations of the world will invade it and even take half of Jerusalem in its hand, but Christ with the Church will defeat this coalition and will establish a thousand years rule of the Kingdom of God from the nation of Israel to bless the nations!!! Hallelujah!

COME LORD JESUS CHRIST OUR MESSIAH!
