Who
is Yeshua (Jesus) and Where does it tell us in the Bible that G-d would have a son? In Isaiah 7:14, it says "...The virgin is with child, and shall bring forth a Son; and she shall call His name Immanuel." (Immanuel means G-d with us.) Then this child is further described in Isaiah 9:6, "For
to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government
will be on His shoulders Proverbs 30: Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name, if you know? The ancient rabbis commenting on Jeremiah 31:31,32 known as the Midrash Tehelim, fol.3, col.4 said: "When the time of the advent of the Messiah will be near, then the blessed G-d will say to Him: "With Him I will make a new covenant and this is the time I will acknowledge Him as my Son, saying, 'This day have I begotten Thee."' So our ancient rabbis saw in this scripture that Messiah, who would be G-d’s own Son, would usher in the new covenant. By the way, the Dead Sea Scrolls speak about G-d’s Son in text (4Q246). It says, “Son of G-d He shall be called, and they will name Him Son of the Most High…” So far we have looked at who G-d is, who Yeshua is, but what is the Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit)? What is wrong with the wording of this question? It should say WHO is the Ruach haKodesh. Why? Because HE is part of G-d (His Spirit) and therefore is not an “it” but is “He”. Yeshua said in John 3:6-8 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Ruach haKodesh gives new life from heaven. So don't be surprised at My statement that you must be born again. Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can't explain how people are born of the Ruach." Again, when you were atoned G-d’s own Ruach haKodesh immediately began to reside within you. This enabled you for the first time to have your spiritual eyes opened and to perceive things you were unable to perceive before. John 14:15-17 "If you love Me, obey My commandments. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor, who will never leave you. He is the Ruach haKodesh, who leads into all truth. The world at large cannot receive Him, because it isn't looking for Him and doesn't recognize Him. Titus 3:5-8 He atoned us, not because of the good things we did, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins and gave us a new life through the Ruach haKodesh. He generously poured out the Ruach (Spirit) upon us because of what Yeshua the Messiah our Savior did. He declared us not guilty because of His great kindness. And now we know that we will inherit eternal life. These things I have told you are all true. 7 |
