because of his disobedience, death is an enemy here on earth ever since then. But through the obedient begotten son of Jehovah God, Jesus Christ is the last Adam he will defeat death for the earth and the people, as the Bible promised that death will be the last enemy. Wow! How much have I missed out with my bible readings, never had I knew these promises before about the earth and the last enemy death? It’s a mind and heart-opening for me to realize it, thanks to Jehovah for allowing his witnessing team into my place.
God’s purpose to make the earth a paradise will be fulfilled. “For this is what the LORD says he who created the heavens, he is God; how fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty but formed it to be inhabited he says: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.” Isaiah, 45:18. “So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Isaiah, 55:11. Satan now rules this world. “Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out.” John. 12:31. “We know that we are children of God and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. 1 John. 5:19. “The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.” Psalms, 37:29. That is the promise of dwelling in the land forever.
CHAPTER FOUR
Jesus Christ the Son of God:
During our discussion, I was asked to explain to them what I know about who Jesus Christ. I said Jesus is the Son of God and he is God. The instructors in our meeting said yes, that’s right he is the Son of God: The son of man Joseph. But wrong he is not God' YHWH: yes he was god here on earth and treated with respect by his followers because he was a good leader and lord but he is God's Messiah and prophet God sent him on a mission to fulfill God's will. He and his heavenly father are two but one in Spirit and power, his father sent him to earth and he agreed and obeyed to do his father will to the point of death itself. But! I wanted to explain John 1:1, and they explain it again very clearly, that in the beginning, Jesus was with God, God created the angles first in heaven and the very first angles were the firstborn Son in Heaven after the creation of the earth he made the first man and woman on earth Adam and Eve. When God spoke the words in his power and spirit takes place and everything came into existence, then again, I asked them but how comes Jesus did so many miracles? They said Yes; after his anointing of water baptizing the power descended on him remember the Dove the Spirit of God? The Dove is not a person it's God's active power and spirit appearing like a Dove in a vision. God spoke from the heavens and said this my beloved son! They again ask me a question how can God be in heaven and speaking from heaven and God is baptizing at the same time? Can you see the difference here? Right! Right! It was now making a lot of sense to me, I get it now it's clear. They said when he raised Lazarus from the dead, he Jesus looked up to the heavens to his father and asked permission from his father in heaven to raise Lazarus; can you see the two; Father and Son, working and agreeing together in one powerful spirit? Okay! Now that makes sense to me, that Jesus Christ is God’s Son, the son of men, Joseph, to be more specific “Jesus is in Greek called Joshua’ meaning the LORD Saves. Matthew. 1: 21. That is what Jesus means and his purpose was to save many nations (people) into everlasting life in God’s kingdom. To do his father's will for God’s kingdom and righteousness.
God has a plan for a Saviour to come to earth: Prophet Isaiah’s prophetic vision “A young woman will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and she will name him Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14, Immanuel meaning “God is with us through his Son our savior.” Jehovah’s angel appeared to Joseph, Mary’s husband to be in a dream, saying: “Look the virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel,” which means, when translated, “With us is God.” Matthew. 1: 23. NWT. The bible also describes Jesus as the Lamb of God. John. 1: 34. Jesus is the Son of God. John. 1:34. His role is to be the loving Son to his Heavenly Father and savior to the world, in obedience to Jehovah God, and do his Father's will. He has been given the role to save the earth from wickedness or misery and from sins' leading people back to life an everlasting life with God. Sin and disobedience separate man from our loving creator Father. That means that through all our trials and tribulation we look to Jesus and believe the great promises that are yet to be fulfilled when Christ returns, in the spiritual realm to restore all humans on earth for his heavenly Kingdom.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God: For all Christians, it is not a confusing statement about who Jesus Christ is. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Lord of all Lords and the king of all kings. He is the savior for all believers in God through Christ Jesus, only Jesus will lead us towards the eternal life Jehovah our God. Jesus prayed this prayer, “This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. John. 17: 3.NWT. Jesus is “More than that when he came as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, yes, death on a torture stake. Philippians. 2: 8. NWT. When the first missionaries landed at my father’s village in PNG. The native people have no idea about Jews laws, some bible writers called us the gentiles and we have no idea of observing the Ten Commandments laws. Thanks to Jehovah we are saved through Jesus Christ and his death means so much to us. The early missionaries brought the light of Jehovah God and Jesus Christ to shine upon the people that Christianity is now in their midst, the people begin to see God’s love for them, through Jesus Christ the savior of light leading them to everlasting God. This is a prophetic message from Jesus himself in John, 17: 3. Again Jesus said to him (Thomas): “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John, 14: 6. Indeed it was through Jesus Christ we all came to know the truth about the one true God. All Christians are still learning about Jesus and his prophetic messages. Another prophetic words from Isaiah “The people who were walking in the darkness have seen a great light. As for those dwelling in the land of deep shadow, Light has shone on them. Isaiah. 9: 2.NWT. Jesus is the Promised Messiah: Hebrew and Greek word messiah both mean “Anointed One.
The Messiah: The Bible foretold the coming of the one whom God would send as the Messiah or Christ. Consider the example of the prophecies that were to be fulfilled over 700 years in advance. Prophet Micah foretold that the promised one would be born in Bethlehem, a small town in the land of Judah. God’s people were expecting this promise to be fulfilled and it came to pass. “After Jesus had been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king,” Matthew, 2: 1.NWT. “And you, O Bethlehem Ephrata, the one too little to be among the thousands of Judah, from you will come out for me the one to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from ancient times, from the days of long ago.” Micah. 5: 2.NWT. Many centuries in advance, the prophecy recorded in Daniel who pinpoints the time when Jesus would be anointed, or appointed, as the Messiah. “You should know and understand that from the issuing of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Leader, there will be seven weeks, also 62 weeks. She will be restored and rebuilt, with a public square and moat, but in times of distress.” 9: 25.NWT. Daniel had indicated how long the period leading to the arrival of Messiah the Leader. This concept of weeks of years, or seven-years, units, was familiar to Jews of ancient times. For instance, they observed a Sabbath year every seventh year. Exod.23: 10-11. Therefore, the prophetic 69 weeks amount to 69 units of 7 years each, or a total of 483 years. Jesus was 29 years when he had his water baptism and was anointed with the power of the Holy Spirit. John also identified Jesus as the messiah during his water baptism (Messiah arrives), He John also bore witness, saying; I viewed the spirit coming down as a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon him. John. 1: 33. Jesus was at the age of 33 years the Messiah’s ministry was cut off. The prophet's word of Daniel was fulfilled. Prophet Isaiah also prophesied about the savior’s birth and how he was to be treated on the day of his cut off. Isaiah prophesied quote “Look! I made him a witness to the nations, a leader and commander to the nations. Isaiah, 55: 4.NWT, other example readings from Isaiah 42: 1-25. Relates to all the other Bible prophecies confirming Jesus as the chosen one.
The accurate indication of Christ: The Bible indicates the coming of Jesus Christ the Messiah and accurate location of his birth and death information were foretold. Jesus did not just happen to come out from somewhere and said follow me’ I’ am the Son of God. Everything he did was foretold long before he came to earth born
