Hebrew lesson


A HEBREW SAGE MIGHT SAY. . .
It takes less time to do a thing right than to explain why you did it wrong.

GOD'S SON
"WHO has ascended heaven or come down? WHO has gathered up the wind in the hollow of HIS hand? WHO has wrapped the waters in HIS garment? WHO has established all the extremities of the earth? What is HIS NAME, and what is HIS SON'S NAME, if you know it?" [Proverbs (Mishle) 30. 4 Tanakh, Kethuvim]

We know the answer to this first question, it is ALMIGHTY GOD, MASTER CREATOR of everything. But "WHO" has ascended up into heaven or descended from there? In these verses, HE is called GOD'S SON! There is only ONE WHO came down to this earth from heaven and WHO has ascended back into heaven! This was foretold by GOD ALMIGHTY through HIS prophets as coming again. As is written the SON OF GOD is THE ONE WHO will be returning from heaven.

"As I looked on in the night vision, ONE like the SON OF MAN came with the clouds of heaven! ...and to HIM was presented dominion, glory and kingship; that all peoples, and nations of every language must serve HIM. HIS dominion is an EVERLASTING DOMINION that shall not pass away, and HIS KINGDOM, one that shall not be destroyed." [Daniel (Danyel) 7. 13 - 14 Tanakh, Kethuvim]

The EVERLASTING KING-MESSIAH is called "THE SON OF MAN." HE had been on earth as a part of humanity, yet here HE is in heaven and returning to earth to receive an EVERLASTING KINGDOM!

Two thousand years ago there was an announcement by the angel to the shepherds keeping watch over their flock at night. The great and wonderful day had arrived for fulfillment of THE INCARNATION as the HOLY ONE had foretold through HIS prophets: "For there is born to you this day in the City of David a SAVIOUR, WHO is CHRIST THE LORD." [Luke 2. 11]

The angel was declaring that THIS CHILD WHO was born in Bethlehem, the City of David, is the promised SON OF GOD, THE SON OF MAN, IMMANU'EL, GOD-with-us, ALMIGHTY GOD manifest in the flesh! This CHILD was born as a human being, yet HE is called "THE MESSIAH & LORD" by the angel who announced HIS birth to the shepherds. OMNIPOTENT CREATOR GOD came to earth and was manifested in flesh to dwell among HIS people, Israel, just as HE had promised!

The HOLY ONE, GOD HIMSELF, blessed be HE, declared it and we are saved IF we believe it!



Sha'alu (Pray) for the Shalom (Peace) of Jerusalem and all of Israel !
Man is given the choice how he will act in this world; but the junctions and highways have been set in place by the Creator. We have an AWESOME GOD, and HE is on HIS Throne ruling over the affairs of men. HE is worthy of all our praise and worship, even in difficult times.
