Do you believe that Jesus is the Creator? Let’s look at the Scriptures that reveal the He is the Word or the Creation Voice.

Though Jesus is said to have many names, those labels are actually titles or descriptions of roles. For example: Redeemer, Savior, Almighty, Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace. Those identifiers are not names, instead they describe attributes, authority, or character traits much like Accountant, Secretary, and Engineer would describe jobs in our culture.

Often in the Bible language, terminology is intentionally used to express prophetic fulfillment. For example in the Old Testament, God dwelled among His people in the Tabernacle (Exodus 25:8-9). The Ark of the Covenant was a place of God’s presence (Exodus 25:22). The New Testament fulfillment was God in flesh, aka Jesus, dwelling among His people (John 1:14). While we don’t go around calling Jesus “The Tabernacle” or “The Ark of the Covenant” to identify Him as “God with us” or “God’s presence”, those identifiers represent prophecies fulfilled as God made Himself known in human form (Isaiah 9:6, Exodus 25).

Let’s examine this further. God gave exact specifications for how the Tabernacle would be designed. The Tabernacle was a tent of meeting and a precursor to Solomon’s Temple. Both were created to be a place where a sinful people could approach a Holy God. The high priest would enter the Most Holy Place once a year on the Day of Atonement. The high priest’s role was to sprinkle blood on the mercy seat atop of the ark of the covenant to atone for the sins of the people. The hope was that the judgment of God would be transformed into mercy from God. I should note that the sprinkling of blood did not obligate God to forgive the rebellion or evil deeds of the people. It was simply an act to signal a hope for covenant restoration from God. Without restoration God could abandon His people as they abandoned Him in their disobedience and sin.

Everything about Christ on the cross was to replace the earlier Tabernacle and Temple. For example: The veil or curtain that divided the Holy Place and the residing place of the Ark of the Covenant (aka the Most Holy Place) was torn from top to bottom when Jesus died. The torn veil at the entrance to the Most Holy Place symbolized our ability to approach God for a private and individual covenant restoration conversation. We don’t need a high priest to approach God on our behalf. Jesus was the final priest in the priestly lineage. He forever fulfilled the need for intercession. We are each responsible to have conversation directly with God. (Read Hebrews 10:10-12.)

Are the attributes of God the exact same attributes of Jesus? “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.” (Hebrews 1:3 NIV) “The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.” (Colossians 1:15-16 NIV)

There can only be one God who is the first and the last. There is only one God who is the Creator. There can only be one God who is sovereign. Only God can forgive sins. There is only one Righteous Judge and King of Kings.

Jesus is the Creator. Jesus is the first and the last. Jesus forgave sin even before the cross. Jesus said that He is God … do you believe Him or do you think that He is a subordinate “God” to the real God?

Do you have a covenant relation-ship with God? If Jesus is not the one God, then the first command-ment forbids that you bow down to Him as a separate God.

Are you ready to know who your God is? If you can only have one God, you must decide if He has your wholehearted/undivided allegiance. Who is on the throne of your life?

There are three very distinct roles of God described in the Bible. Those roles are: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Please hear me. Those are roles, not separate people. As an example: I am a daughter, sister, and a mother. I’m not three people. I’m just one person who has three distinct positions or roles. I have a different relationship to others in those three roles. I respond differently to my siblings than I do to my children. I am only one person, not three people.

To use the Bible to explain this in relation to God’s three roles, let’s look at Scriptures. “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the NAME of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’” (Matthew 28:18-20 NIV) I bolded the word “name” to emphasize that this is a singular name, not three names. What is the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? Is the name Jesus? God is a He, not a they.

The word “God” is a title, not a name. As an example: I do not call my parents by their names. I call them by their favorite titles “Mom” and “Dad”. I don’t call God by His name, “Jesus” either. I call God by His favorite and most excellent title “God” because He is my God. I know that Jesus is God. Just like I know that my parents have names too.

For the past few days we have been looking at the Scriptures that record that there is only one God, not a trinity of Gods. Today, let’s look at the Scriptures that clearly say that Jesus is the one and only God. As we continue in the series “Jesus, the Everlasting Father”, we will prove that the false doctrines in the church have been devised by the devil to divide our allegiance away from wholeheartedly knowing God.

“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.” (Hebrews 1:3)

“I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people.” (Leviticus 26:12)

“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” (John 1:14)

“This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,” (1 John 4:2)

“Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? (John 14:9)

“The Son is the image of the invisible God,” (Colossians 1:15)

“There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians 4:4-6)

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14)

“‘The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel’ (which means ‘God with us’).”
(Matthew 1:23)

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.” (Micah 5:2)

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1)

“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)

“He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.” (John 1:10)

“I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.” (John 8:24)

“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.” (Colossians 2:9)

“Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.”
(1 Tim. 3:16)

“When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: ‘Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.  I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.’” (Rev. 1:17-18)

There seems to be much confusion in the Christian community about the word “trinity. The word trinity cannot be found anywhere in the Bible. It is not a Biblical word. It is, however, a word used often by Catholic denominations usually in concert with the idea of giving Mary divinity. Mary is not the mother of God’s eternal Spirit, nor is she divinity. God is the Creator, not the created. Mary was a chosen woman in the Davidic line who gave birth to the temporary human flesh-and-blood frame that the eternal Spirit of God wore as He walked visibly on earth.

“The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or power or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.” (Colossians 1:15-16 NIV)

Because God supernaturally provided the biological “seed” to create the embryo carried in Mary’s womb, God can be considered the “father” to the resulting birthed human child. Lineage was very important to the Jewish people. The children were identified by who their father was an extension of their name (rather than using a last name as we do today). Jesus would have been identified as son of Joseph or the carpenter’s son by those who didn’t understand the truth of His supernatural lineage. But some followers called Jesus “Son of God” to acknowledge His divinity. However, Jesus never called Himself “Son of God” but instead He often referred to Himself as “Son of Man”. He used the “Son of Man” label to communicate that He was the invisible God made visible in human form. 

“‘But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.’ So he said to the paralyzed man, ‘Get up, take your mat and go home.’” (Matthew 9:6 NIV)

God is Spirit. Spirit is unseen in the physical realm and is not a visible flesh and blood frame. The human form that God’s Spirit wore was created for a mission and was intentionally disposable. God is the Creator. Jesus is God’s one and only eternal Spirit also known as the Holy Spirit. The flesh-and-blood frame that Jesus wore is not God’s Spirit. It was a disposable garment. God is not the Son of Himself, or sitting next to Himself on His throne. There are no flesh-and-blood beings in Heaven. Figurative language was repeatedly used in the Bible to give distinction to Jesus in bodily form versus Spirit form or to describe the fulfilment of prophecies. The “sitting at the right hand of God” words were likely to communicate the prophetic completion of the Davidic Kingdom. Symbolism was used many times to translate cultural norms or expectations into spiritual truths. For example: the Old Testament descriptions of the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant foreshadowed God dwelling among His people in bodily form as He was cradled in a manger and crucified on a cross.

The eternal Almighty God and Creator, who is Spirit, robed Himself in a temporary and visible human-born flesh-and-blood frame. He used that Son of Man blood to bring about a permanent change to the covenant atonement protocols. God had to become flesh to provide a sinless blood sacrifice. His blood of the covenant provided entrance for us into the Most Holy Place to have a private and individual covenant restoration talk (aka forgiveness conversation) with God without a priest or a blood sacrifice.

As humans, we are a physical and temporary flesh-and-blood frame for an eternal spirit being. The human reproduction process provides for the flesh-and-blood covering while the Spirit provides our internal spirit being. Jesus said it this way: “Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.” (John 3:6 NIV). “The body that is sown is perishable. It is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.” (1 Corinthians 15:42-44 NIV)  “You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.” (Romans 8:9 NIV)

Today on TheRogueProphet.com we are looking at “Jesus, The Everlasting Father” doctrines. How can we be expected to have a wholehearted allegiance to God when false theologies want to divide our allegiance between a trinity of “Gods”? There is only One God. There is only one name of God … Jesus!

During the last few months of 2022 and even now as we enter 2023, God is transitioning me into a new season of ministry. He has given me only enough information to follow Him on a task-by-task journey.

The end of last year was unusually difficult because it seemed that God was blanking my mind to everything else while He moved me from my home of seven years to a new living space as well as into a new ministry office.  I understand His need to keep me focused on the move, but it has been a bit confining. The most difficult part has been not sharing in the daily interactions with God as He reveals His heart while we write together.

He hasn’t yet told me what the new season will consist of, but I can tell you of one significant change.  In October, the Lord directed me to delete or unpublish all my ministry and community pages on Facebook as well as deactivate my ministry profile.  Since then, I have not posted or blogged on Facebook. God did have me post a few links to my website on Truth Social which seems to be the Lord’s preferred media outlet for future prophetic writings.  The most difficult part of these last few months is that God has been unusually silent about what’s next.  This morning is the first morning that He had me sit down in front of the keyboard and write about what’s been happening. 

I need a few more weeks of organizing the office and settling into my new home.  I also had to get a new phone before the 3G network was displaced at the end of the year. So now I’m trying to figure out new technology on top of all the other awkward changes.  Moving is never easy … even with God directing everything. I’m hoping to find my comfort zone and get back to delivering a word from the Lord.  Finally this morning God did tell me that He wants me to finish up the magazine on “Jesus, The Everlasting Father” for February publication.  So, He did leave me at least one area of comfort to look forward to.  Draft pages of the current edition will be available on this site under the tab “The Rogue Prophet Magazines” as each page is produced. The finalized magazine is expected to be ready by mid-February (2023). 

I could make assumptions about what God is up to, but my best guess really has no value with so few exact words from the Lord about His intentions.  I think there are going to be big developments early on this year for our country.  Keep watching Trump as he carries the anointing from God.  God has appointed Trump as a deliverer for our nation similarly to how God appointed the Old Testament judges when the people repented of their waywardness. If our nation truly turns to God, the Lord will make a way to save this nation.  As always, only the elect will find refuge in the shadow of the Almighty.   

I’m not sure that I willingly signed up for most of this.  As a younger Bible-toting country-club-Christian, I didn’t expect to have to set aside my princess crown and royal robe to pick up battle armor and the title “mighty warrior”. 

But God, had other plans … On the day that He ordained, He propelled me rather forcefully from a comfortable life to a road marked with persecution, trials, betrayals, and heartache.  It was all part of the equipping needed to walk me into the role of prophet. 

Since the day that I first heard God speak to me there has been an unmistakable burden to share with others what I have learned from Him.  I was 40-years old when I first knowingly heard the voice of the Almighty.  That was the day that everything changed.

Looking back over the previous two decades, I can see more clearly what God was up to.  While I may carry forward the battle scars and deep wounds, I have seen much triumph.  Though my few earthly treasures may not reflect my Kingdom value or standing, I’m confident that God is faithfully holding on to my victor’s crown reserving it for the glorious day that we meet face-to-face beyond earth’s gravity.

These 20 years of learning faithfully at the Master’s feet have wiped the smug indifference of church life from my heart and replaced it with unfailing passion and determination to step in sync with my God.  I will wait when He says to be patient.  I will be heard when He says speak. I will suit up for battle when the enemy readies its fiery darts.

My identity is resolute.  I know who I am and whose I am.

We have arrived at the final day of our 40-day journey to making America God’s again. We aimed from the beginning to spark our own personal revival. Now we must make a plan going forward to keep our momentum going.  

What encouragement or challenge do you need to keep pressing in to knowing God’s will every day of your life?  Have you knowingly encountered God?  If so, there is no turning back. Once you have heard His voice, it’s impossible to be the same person who could ignore the Almighty.

In our daily Bible studies, we’ve met heroes of the faith, mighty warriors, and persecuted believers. We have also seen that God expects to be our one and only God; He has jealousy, anger, and wrath for rebellion against His heart; and has amply warned us of the consequences of choosing a wrong path. 

Which Bible study character or story did you relate to the most? Which one makes you want to choose differently? Do you see yourself like David as he went up against the Philistine giant? Are you like Gideon, Joshua, Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, or Elijah?  Have you learned how not to disappoint God like those offering strange fire? 

Do you know your identity and purpose on this planet, in His Kingdom, at this time on the calendar? Who are you?  Whose are you?  What is your “job”?  What is your eternal destiny?  What will you do to change the world … one faith-step at a time?
