THE GODHEAD by Prof F J de Waal, UDW

THE ESSENSE OF GOD IS FAR BEYOND US, BUT GOD REVEALS HIMSELF TO US!

1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

De 29:29 The secret [things belong] unto the LORD our God: but those [things which are] revealed [belong] unto us and to our children for ever, that [we] may do all the words of this law.

GOD IS OUR FATHER! I MET HIM AT 24 AND MY BIOLOGICAL FATHER AT 34!

Mt 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

WHAT IS OUR FATHER LIKE?

Joh 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

LOOK AT ME, SAYS JESUS, AND SEE THE FATHER! HE IS HEART SORE!

Joh 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew us the Father?

Joh 14:11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

TRINITY (ONE PERSON AS GRANDFATHER, FATHER AND SON) IS MAN'S PHILOSOPHY!

THE BIBLE REVEALS A GODHEAD!

Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

THIS IS INTERPOLATION (SIDE WRITING BROUGHT INTO THE SCRIPTURE)!

1Jo 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT IS ONE MINDED NOT ONE BODY!

Joh 10:30 I and [my] Father are one.

Mt 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: Mt 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

De 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD:

Y A H W E H OUR E L O H I M IS E C H A D Y A H W E H

THE SELF EXISTING GODHEAD OUR DIVINE ONES IS ONE LIKE THE OTHER SELF EXISTING

THE THREE (FATHER, SON AND SPIRIT) ON THE THRONE!

Re 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and [one] sat on the throne. Re 4:3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

Re 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

Ex 24:9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: Ex 24:10 And they saw the God of Israel: and [there was] under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in [his] clearness. Ex 24:11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink. Ex 24:12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

Eze 1:26 And above the firmament that [was] over their heads [was] the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne [was] the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.

Isa 6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

Da 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire.

Re 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

GOD SITS, WALKS, HAS HANDS, A FACE, A VOICE, ETC!

Ge 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

THE VOICE OF GOD: APPROACH THE THRONE! STEP THROUGH THE BRIGHTNESS! SIT ON MY LAP! PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND MY NECK! HUG ME! PLEASE LET ME HUG YOU!

Re 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices

MAN WAS MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD!

Ge 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: Ge 1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

 

MOSES ASKS TO THE GLORY OF GOD!

Ex 33:18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. Ex 33:19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. Ex 33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. Ex 33:21 And the LORD said, Behold, [there is] a place by

me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: Ex 33:22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: Ex 33:23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

THIS IS WHAT OUR FATHER IS LIKE ON THE THRONE!

Ex 34:5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD (HOLINESS). Ex 34:6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Ex 34:7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth [generation]. Ex 34:8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

 

GOD THE FATHER HAS PRESENCE AND LOCATION!

CHRIST SAID HE WOULD BE NO MORE IN THE WORLD!

Joh 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we [are].

IF JESUS IS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER, HOW DOES HE NETER MY HEART?

Re 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Re 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

NATURALLY THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT!

Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

ONENESS HAS TO DO WITH ONE MINDEDNESS, NOT ONE PHYSICAL BODY!

Joh 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: Joh 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: Joh 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; Joh 17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare [it]: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Joh 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.

Jer 32:39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

Zec 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Ac 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

Ac 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any [of them] that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

Ro 12:5 So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

1Co 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Ga 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph 4:4 [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and

through all, and in you all.

Php 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind.

CHRIST IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS "I AM"

CHRIST, AFTER STEPPING DOWN, OFFICIATES AS MICHAEL, THE ARCHANGEL!
