677 - Les Feldick Bible Study - Lesson 2 Part 1 Book 57 - The Godhead Revealed

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 1 * BOOK 57 The Godhead Revealed I John 4:11 – 5:1 I John 4:11 "Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another." Well, John 3:16, "For God so loved the world." "No man hath seen God at any time…." Let me show you a verse. Genesis 32:27-30 "And he (the stranger) said unto him, What is thy name? 28. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. God face to face, and my life is preserved." Well now does the Scripture contradict? Never! John says, "no man has seen God at any time.’’ Well now you’ve got to stop and think of all the times in Scripture that mankind did see God face to face. I’ve even skipped over Genesis 18, where Abraham, you remember, killed the fatted calf. It was God. Exodus 3:3-4a 4. And when the LORD…." Capital LORD. And the LORD in the Old Testament economy is Jehovah. Exodus 3:4 " And when the LORD (Jehovah, - Christ, The Son, in the Old Testament) saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. We’ve already got Him called God and LORD, out of the burning bush. All right, verse 5. Exodus 3:5-6a 6. Moreover he said, (that is out of the burning bush) I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob…." Are you convinced now He’s God? This burning bush voice is God! Exodus 3:6b "…And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God." All right, then "He hid his face for he was afraid to look upon God." Not upon the fire, "upon God." Now verse 7, this same person called God in verse 6 is now the LORD in verse 7. The very God that John says, "No man has ever seen." Exodus 3:11-13 "And Moses says unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? 12. And he said, (that is, God from the burning bush says) Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. 13. And Moses said unto (Who?) God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? The name. "What’s his name? Exodus 3:14 Genesis chapter 1, all the way through here the term is "God." All right, let’s go all the way back to verse 1. Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created heaven and earth." Elohim. And Elohim is a plural Hebrew word. Well it’s elohim, but in small letters; e-l-o-h-i-m is translated gods, plural, small ‘g’. Elohim in Genesis 1:1 is a plurality God. A God in three Persons. It’s not just God, it’s what? "LORD God." We’re talking about the I AM God. We’re talking about the Jehovah God. Who is the Jehovah God? Who is capital LORD of the Old Testament? Well for that answer, let’s now jump up to John’s Gospel, chapter 8. John 8:51-56 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. (demon) 54. Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: 55. Yes, if there’s fifty. If there’s forty? Thirty? Twenty? Abraham conversed with me. Verse 57. John 8:57 "Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, (Abraham’s two thousand years ago) and hast thou seen Abraham?" John 8:58 "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, (what?) God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Now let’s use Scripture. Go back with me to Acts chapter 2 verse 22. "Ye men of Israel, (now this is Peter speaking on the Day of Pentecost) hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, (that’s His name. God did. God did. Right? Now look at verse 23. Acts 2:23 All right, now while you’re in Acts anyway, go on ahead a little bit to Colossians chapter 2, and again we have to read verse 8 in order to understand fully verse 9. Colossians chapter 2 verse 8, where Paul gives the warning: Colossians 2:8-9 "Christ.") Godhead bodily." Now what’s the Godhead? Here’s the Godhead. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. That’s God! Just God. God wasn’t caught by surprise. We’ve got time enough. I Corinthians 15:1-4 It’s the Son Who stepped out of that invisible Godhead and became visible. I Corinthians 15:5 (died) Then verse 7. That it was the Son - stepped out of the invisible Godhead and became visible. Christ. Jesus of Nazareth. invisible God,.…" See? He is the image of this invisible Godhead, Elohim, of which John was speaking back here in verse 11 that "no man has seen." No man has ever seen the Godhead. Colossians 1:15-16 Colossians 1:18-19 #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
