Divinity of Jesus Christ !

-
Often times people use this against the divinity of Jesus;
John 14:28 "....for My Father is greater than I"

Let's discuss the reason behind this statement from Jesus.
There are many verses in the bible that alludes to Jesus's divinity.

For example;
John 8:58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”
John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

Through these verses Jesus declares that He is The God of Abraham, that He was the Word made flesh and that The Word is God !

Then why did Jesus say the Father is greater than Him ?
We must also know that technically, Jesus is The Father !
So why the distinction ? The distinction is simple, The Father had to take a bodily form into our physical realm from His spiritual realm to redeem us from Satan ! To be our kinsmen redeemer, to live our lives and to take all our sin upon Him !

Now let's get back to answering the question we started with and to do that, we have to go back to Moses' time. 

Let's read;
Numbers 21:4-9

Then they journeyed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became very discouraged on the way. And the people spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread.” So the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord that He take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.” So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.

Isn't it weird ? People healed by gazing a serpent ? Why ?

This is God's poetry. You see, when Jesus (Our Father from heaven made flesh) took upon Him all our sins, He technically became the sinful serpent. So just as Jesus was crucified on a cross with all our sins in Him, and when we look upon the cross and acknowledge the sacrifice, we are saved, so is the fiery bronze serpent (representing Jesus) when the Israelites looked upon it, they were healed.

This is the reason why Jesus said The Father is greater than Him because He understood His mission and what He is going to take upon Him to complete the mission which is becoming sin Himself which makes Him unholy (only until He crushes Satan and resurrects and lives forevermore) !!! . Not because He is not God, but because of what He was going to do and accomplish. Just a titbit, why a fiery serpent ? Because Jesus set Satan on fire when He was on the cross !! Hallelu-Yah (Praise be to God) !! Amen !!

ps: look at the medical symbol - a serpent on a pole !

The Anunnaki: Between Ancient Clay and Modern Myth

The Anunnaki: Between Ancient Clay and Modern Myth The Anunnaki remain among the most puzzling figures in human records, interpreted variously as primordial monarchs, deities, and now ancient aliens . In the mid-20th century, a   cultural intersection occurred . W hile scholars were decoding and publishing Sumerian tablets at an unprecedented rate, humanity was simultaneously entering the “ s pace a ge ” . As the Soviet Union and the United States competed to “ reach the stars ” , the oldest records of the sky were being introduced to modern academia. This era of “ lunar landings ”  and satellite launches provided a fertile backdrop for the public to connect ancient astronomical records with modern “ space exploration ” . In 1976, th ese  connection s  w ere   mixed and matched  by Zecharia Sitchin’s , who wrote The 12th Planet . Sitchin proposed a radical reinterpretation, viewing the Anunnaki not as mythological symbols, but as extraterrestrial visitors. ...

Enoch & Elijah Died too ! This will be important to decipher without a shadow of doubt who the two witnesses are ! Abraham saw Jesus on the Cross ! Let me show you all these using The Word of God !

Enoch died too ! Genesis 5:24 tells us that "Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him." Hebrews 11:5 adds: "By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, 'and was not found, because God had taken him'; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God." Some jump to the conclusion that Enoch was taken up into heaven, but notice the Bible doesn’t says this. It simply says that God "took him." It does not specify where he was taken. Jesus Christ later states in the Gospel of John that "Scripture cannot be broken" (John 10:35). One of the points He makes is that one passage of the Bible cannot contradict another passage. This same Gospel of John reveals a startling fact very appropria te to this matter: "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven" (John 3:13). Clearly, Jesus Christ was the only human being who was or had asce...

  THE TWO WITNESSES ARE MOSES AND ELIJAH WITHOUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT ! Let’s use the scripture and scripture alone to support the aforementioned claim. The parallels between the life of Elijah and Moses  are remarkable. And it’s amazing how they pattern the life of Jesus. Moses Elijah Moses flees for his life after killing an Egyptian taskmaster (Exodus 2:11-15) Elijah flees for his life after killing the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel (1 Kings 19:1-3) Moses encounters God in the form of a burning bush at Mt. Horeb and God calls him to a specific task (Exodus 3) Elijah encounters God in the form of “sheer silence” at Mt. Horeb and God calls him to a specific task (1 Kings 19) Moses out-performs the signs and wonders of the wise men and sorcerers in Egypt (Exodus 7:1-14) Elijah out-performs the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel (1 Kings 18:20-39) Moses parts the waters of the Red Sea (Exodus 14) Elijah parts the waters of the Jordan River (2 Kings 2:8) God provides food for Moses an...
