Eternality of the Son took from the Eternal hand of God the Father

(…continues from part II…)

3)            The dramatic walk towards the throne were the strides of eternal feet of the Second Member of the Godhead. The outstretched hand of the Lion of Judah was the arm of eternality of the Son: for only the eternal can take from eternality, to open the Book and loose the seals of Divine application. Need we have more proofs of Christ’s distinct Personage of Divinity especially when one gives true acknowledgement to Revelation 5:8 “And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.” Why would the four awesome angels, together with the elders fall before the Lamb to offer the latria given to none other save the LORD God, Creator of the heavens and the earth? Jesus was worshipped even to the admiration of the seated Father. The Father was seated; the Son was, no doubt, still standing as they all sprawled before the distinct Second Member of the Godhead. Amen.

“…he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?”

Genesis 49 verse 9 states, “Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion;” and asks, “who shall rouse him up?” Understand the gradation. Judah is first called “a whelp” does that not remind you of the first appearance of the Incarnation, when He lay in the manger? Do you know why He couches? He knows that no enemy dares overwhelm Him as He bends majestically to satiate His hunger. The third gradation saw Him as an ‘old lion’ which in Hebrew is lâbı̂y’ (law-bee’): ‘a lion (properly a lioness as the fiercer (although not a roarer).’ The Lion of Judah, resting after having gone up to heaven, reclining on the right hand of the celestial Majesty, who dares disturb His Majesty provocatively? He is the King of kings; the Lion of Judah is the LORD God Almighty.

Gladiatorism marks the destiny of the Lion of Judah, Whose strides are celestial Majesty in conquest. His Lamby disposition is essentially quintessential meekness. Containment ability of polarities does not, in any smidgeon of thought, give Him adverse effect – His Omnipotent Omniscience takes good care of it. The LORD God waited, as it were, for the emergence of the Adamic meekness of Jesus, His humanity, that received tutorials from the Father, the Holy Spirit and the Christ. An excellent Jesus did not disappoint the Godhead. As the Second Adam, His existence is of Divine witness and of testimony that God did not make any mistake in the Adamic elevation – from dust to a living entity, bearing the eternal image of the Creator and the likeness of divinity. It is of utmost importance to bring the meek Jesus into the equation of the Incarnation, without which the soteriology – meant not for angels but children of the earth – would be inexistent, as far as the Word of God is concerned.

This Lamb had been slain before the foundation of the world.

Lamby disposition saw Jesus through the pangs of hunger and thirst of earthly decades. When the Lamb got tired, the Gladiatorial Christ gave him strength and succour. Rather than stand His divine ground when not accorded with Divine respect, and send most willing legions of angels to punish impudence, His meekness trod the paths of vanishing away as if He is wallowing in the weakness of a common lamb. For He must allow the fulfillments of Scripture – His Word – like a sheep, He neither made any utterance of resistance nor flexed His Omnipotent essence, but got Himself led away for the intended Satanism slaughter. The Lamb of God died for the rejuvenation of our dead spirits, yet death could not dictate terms and conditions of His temporary earthly exit. “Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it” (Acts 2:24). A Bible annotation explains this verse thus: “Glorious saying! It was indeed impossible that “the Living One” should remain “among the dead” (Lu 24:5); but here, the impossibility seems to refer to the prophetic assurance that He should not see corruption” (Jamieson, Faussett and Brown’s Commentary).

Can Christ die? Is He not God? It was the Lamb that died; but the thing is that the Lamb had formed a compound composition with the Eternal Son in the Incarnation, ergo, it was not possible that he should be holden of the grave. Even in the grave, Jesus is LORD: for death cannot hold Him captive. “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out” (Romans 11:33)!

Both sacrificial Lamb & Majestic Lion

Get born again by saying this simple prayer.

 “Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
