The Fatherhood of Jesus As The End of True Religion: What Says The Volume Of The Book?To those who reject/deny The Fatherhood of Jesus; if The Material Temple of the Father is not The Father, who is?Here is The Proof: Read if you are a seeker, lover and do value The Truth:

Isaiah 45:17 (Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, The Saviour.)

Colossians 1:15-16 (Who is The Image of The Invisible God, The First born of every creature: For by Him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him.)

Colossians 2:2-3, 9-10 (That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurances of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of The Father, and of Christ; In whom are laid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledgeFor in Him dwelleth all The Fulness of The Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is The Head of all principality and power.)

1 Corinthians 3:16 (Know ye not that ye are The Temple of God, and that The Spirit of God dwelleth in you?)

Matthew 26:61 (And saith, This fellow said, I am able to destroy The Temple of God, and to build it in three days.)

Proverbs 8:22 (The LORD possessed me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old)

1 Corinthians 12: 3-13; ( Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is The Lord , but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations but the same Spirit. And there are diversities of operation but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of The Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit. To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gift of healing by the same Spirit. To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues. But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will. For as the body is one and hath many members and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.)

Ephesians 4:7-13; (Wherefore He saith, When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things. And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the fullness of Christ.)

Psalm 68:18 (Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that The LORD GOD might dwell among them)

John 3:13 (And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even The Son of Man which is in heaven)

John 13:31-32 (Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is The Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him. If God be glorified in Him, God shall also glorify Him in Himself and shall straightway glorify Him.)

John 5:17-19 (But Jesus answered them, my Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God. Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself but what He seeth The Father do: for whatsoever He doeth, these also doeth The Son likewise)

Matthew 12:28 (But if I cast out devils by The Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God is come unto you.)

John 8:29 (And He that sent me is with me: The Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please Him)

John 10:28-38 (And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father which gave them me is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Fathers hand. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, many good works have I shewed you from The Father; for which of those works do you stone me? Then the Jews answered Him saying, for a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, is it not written in your Law, I said ye are gods? If He called them gods unto whom The Word of God came, and the scripture can not be broken; say ye of Him, whom The Father hath sanctified and sent into the world, thou blasphemest; because I said I am The Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that The Father is in me and I in Him)

John 14:6-11 (Jesus saith unto him, I am The Way, The Truth and The Life: no man cometh unto The Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him. Philip saith unto Him, Lord, shew us The Father and it sufficeth us. 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? Believest thou not that I am in The Father and The Father in me? The Words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but The Father that dwelleth in me, He doth the works. Believe me that I am in The Father and The Father in me: or else believe me for the very works sake )

John 19:7 (The Jews answered him, we have a law, and by our law He ought to die, because He made Himself The Son of God.)

Who Is Pre-eminent In All Things?Job 18:13 (It shall devour the strength of his skin. Even The First-born of death shall devour his strength)

Job 15:7-8 (Art thou The First-man that was born? Or wast thou made before the hills? Hast thou heard the secret of God? And dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?)

Colossians 1:15-18 (Who is The Image of The Invisible God, The First born of every creature: For by Him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him : And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. And He is the Head of the body, the church: who is the Beginning, The First-born from dead. That in all things He might have the pre-eminence.)A Commentary: Matthew Henry under guide of The Holy Spirit once again sets forth that, concerning the person of The Redeemer. Glorious things are here said of Him; for blessed Paul was full of Christ, and took all occasions to speak honourably of him. He speaks of Him distinctly as God, and as Mediator. As God, he speaks of Him: (1) He is The Image of The Invisible God. Not as man was made in the Image of God (Gen.1:27), in his natural facilities and dominion over the creatures: no, He is The Express Image of His Person (Heb.!:3). (2) He is The First-born of every creature. Not that he is Himself a creature; for it is (i.e. original phrase in latin) Prototokos pases ktiseos born or begotten before all the creation, or (i.e.) before any creature was made, which is the scripture-way of representing eternity, and by which the eternity of God is represented to us: I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was; when there was no depth, before the mountains were settled, while as yet He had not made the earth (Prov.8:23-26). It signifies His dominion over all things, as The First-born in a family is heir and lord of all, so He is The Heir of all things (Heb. 1:2). The word, Prototokos, with only the change of accent, signifies actively the first begetter or producer of all things, and so it well agrees (3) He is so far from being Himself a creature that He is The Creator: for by Him were all things created, which are in heaven and earth, visible and invisible. He made all things out of nothing, the highest angel in Heaven, as well as men upon earth. He made the world, the upper and lower world, with all the inhabitants of both. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made which was made (Jn. 1:3). Christ is The Eternal Wisdom of The Father, and the world was made in wisdom. He is The Eternal Word, and the world was made by The Word of God. He is The Arm of The Lord, and the world was made by that Arm. All things were created by Him and for Him. Being created by Him, they were created for Him; being made by His Power, they were made according to His pleasure and for His praise. He is The End, as well as The Cause of all things. To Him are all things (Rom. 11:36). (4) He was before all things. He had a being before the world was made, before the beginning of time, and therefore from all eternity. Wisdom was with The Father, and possessed by Him in the beginning of His Ways, before His works of old (Prov.8:22). And in the beginning The Word was with God and was God (Jn.1:1). He not only had a being before He was born of the virgin but he had a being before all time. (5) By Him all things consist. They not only subsist in their beings, but consist in their order and dependences. He not only created them all at first, but it is by The Word of His Power that they are still upheld (Heb.1:3). The whole creation is kept together by the power of The Son of God, and made to consist in its proper frame. It is preserved from disbanding and running into confusionHe is the beginning, the First-born from the dead, arche, prototokos the principle, the First-born from the dead; principle of our resurrection, as well as the First-born Himself. All our hopes and joys take their rise from Him who is the Author of our salvation. Not that He was the first who ever rose from the dead, but the first and only who rose by His own power, and was declared to be the Son of God, and Lord of all things. And He is the Head of the resurrection, and has given us an example and evidence of our resurrection from the dead. He rose as the First-fruits (1 Cor. 15:20). He hath in all things the pre-eminence.

And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies. And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of The Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings. And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings. And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a Throne, as the appearance of sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of The Throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of His loins even upward, and from the appearance of His loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of The Glory of The LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of One that spake. And He said unto me, son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. And the Spirit entered into when He spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard Him that spake unto me. And He said unto me, son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed me, even unto this very day. For they are impudent children and stiff hearted, I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith The LORD GOD.)

And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; and in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto The Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His Head and His Hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire; And His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and His voice as the sound of many waters. And He had in His Right Hand seven stars: and out of His mouth went a sharp two edge sword: and His countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His Right Hand upon me saying unto me, Fear not; I am the First and The Last: I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.)

And round about The Throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment and they had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of The Throne proceeded lightnings and thundering and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before The Throne, which are the seven Spirits of God And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to Him that sat on The Throne, who liveth for ever and ever. The four and twenty elders fall down before Him that sat on The Throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever and cast their crowns before The Throne, saying Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.)

And He came and took The Book out of the Right Hand of Him that sat upon The Throne. 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. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take The Book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God Kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about The Throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, Worthy is The Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in Heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto Him that setteth upon The Throne, and unto The Lamb for ever and ever. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped Him that liveth for ever and ever.)

And all the angels stood round about The Throne and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before The Throne on their faces, and worshipped God. Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, what are these which are arrayed in white robes? And whence came they? And I said unto him. Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, these are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in The Blood of The Lamb. Therefore are they before The Throne of God, and save Him day and night in His Temple: and He that sitteth on The Throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For The Lamb which is in the midst of The Throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.)

And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a Name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

And He said unto me, write: for these words are true and faithful. And He said unto me, it is done. I am Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End. I will give unto him that is athirst of the Fountain of the Water of Life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my sonAnd I saw no Temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and The Lamb are The Temple of it.

And there shall be no night thee; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for The Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever. And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and The Lord God of The holy Prophets sent His angel to show unto His servants the things which must shortly be doneI Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am The Root and The Offspring of David, and The Bright and Morning Star.)

A Commentary: Matthew Henry concurs with The Holy Spirit when he commented on this passage by saying that, The satisfactory meritorious righteousness and obedience of Christ gives faith all its value and preciousness: and the righteousness of such a person can not but be of infinite value to those who by faith receive it. For, (1) This Jesus Christ is God, yea, our God, as it is in the original (text). He is truly God, an infinite Being, who has wrought out this righteousness, and therefore it must be of infinite value. (2) He is The Saviour of those that believe, and such as He yielded this meritorious obedience; and therefore it is of such great benefit and advantage to them, because, as Surety and Saviour, He wrought out this righteousness in their stead)

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: That at The Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.

Romans 9:5 (Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen)A Commentary: Matthew Henry opines, and I strongly agree that, the greatest honour of all was that of them (Israel) as concerning the flesh (that is, as to His Human Nature) Christ came; for He took on Him the seed of Abraham (Hebrew 2:16). As to His Divine Nature, He is The Lord from Heaven; but as to His Human Nature, He is of The Seed of Abraham. This was the privilege of the Jews that Christ was kin of them. Mentioning Christ, he (Paul) interposes a very great word concerning Him, that He is over all, God blessed for ever. Lest the Jews should think meanly of Him, because He was of their alliance, He here speaks thus honourably concerning Him: and it is a very full proof of The Godhead of Christ; He is not only over all, as Mediator; but He is God blessed for ever. Therefore, how much sorer punishment were they worthy of that rejected Him! It was like-wise the honour of the Jews, and one reason why Paul had a kindness for them, that, seeing God blessed for ever would be a man, He would be a Jew; and considering the posture and character of that people at that time, it may well be looked upon as a part of His humiliation.

Hebrew 1:1-3 (God, who at sundry time and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophet, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the world; who being the brightness of His Glory, and The Express Image of His Person, and upholding all things by The Word of His Power.

And of the angels He saith, Who maketh His angels spirits, and His Ministers a flame of fire. But unto The Son He saith, Thy Throne O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy Kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of Thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.)

Hebrew 4:12-13 (For The Word of God is quick, and powerful, and shaper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the hearts. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.)

Romans 8:26-27 (Likewise The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but The Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which can not be uttered. And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is The Mind of The Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to The Will of God.)

John 8:56-59 (Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My Day: and He saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto Him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, verily, verily I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Then took they up stones to cast at Him: but Jesus hid Himself, and went out of The Temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by)

Isaiah 8:13-16 (Sanctify The LORD of hosts Himself; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. And He shall be for a Sanctuary: but for a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence to both the Houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Bind up the Testimony, seal the Law among my disciples.)

Isaiah 28:16 (Therefore thus saith The LORD GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a Tried stone, a precious Corner Stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.)

1 Peter 2:6-8 (Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold I lay in Zion a Chief Corner Stone, Elect, Precious: and he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded. Unto you which believe He is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed the same is made The Head of the corner. And a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at The Word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.)

Is The Redeemer Also God?

Job 4:15-17 (Then a Spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: it stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an Image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying, shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his maker?)

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world)

N/B: As we count down to the end of days; note and observe closely, any Emperor that resurrects and promotes the interest of this religion that denies The Father and The Son, is The Antichrist The Man of Lawlessness; Satan Incarnate Satans son, Lord of the 8th Biblical Empire. Get wisdom from 1 John 2:22-23; any religion or organization that openly opposes what The Bible says concerning Jesus of Nazareth is antichristian. And any world leader in whose hands the antichristian religion prospers is The Antichrist.

Come, Lord Jesus for all is ready.
