Messiah
– Christ - “anointed one”
Today,
the reply acknowledges that the Messiah promised from GOD has
appeared in the person of Jesus Christ; also, Judaism and the process
of full divine revelation are briefly considered along with the
workings of sacred spirit imparted to Christian believers from the
makeup of full divinity. Included are faith, holiness, joy,
lovingkindness, personhood, wisdom, and wrath against sin. Carnal
history, secular events and eye-witness accounts that fulfill divine
proclamations, promises, and prophecies recorded in the holy writings
are not the primary anchor of Christian belief. The active
presence of the Holy Spirit itself is received as a fresh
endowment of life essence from the makeup of GOD that
establishes certain knowledge, and conviction for all sacred truth.

Do
you agree, the real Messiah is only for Jews and has yet to make an
appearance?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: One of the two which heard John speak, and
followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s
brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him,
We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

“Hindusufi”,
it is an aspect of full faith within most mature Christians that
Jesus already has appeared among mankind as the Messiah promised from
divinity who would rule over the people of GOD upon the earth. In
agreement with the truth that GOD is immutable and unchanging, the
operations and process of GOD include the use of diversity and
one-time events that may be displayed through different presentations
to establish their continuing presence and value. There are multiple
streams of sacred truth recorded in the holy writings that include
proclamations, promises, and prophecy concerning Messiah. The
earliest is acknowledged as the assurances granted to Adam, the first
pair; is continued in the vision and covenant relationship bestowed
on Abraham as the Friend of God; appears in the promise to David of
dynasty and inheritance; are seen in promises of relief and
restoration following captivity and exile; and provide details of the
end time, of the apocalypse, and of eternal life. The revelation of
divinity using human flesh to be visible and knowable on the earth
(we say, the Incarnation) begins in the accounts of Creation, where
life essence (we say, breath; spirit; word) from the makeup of
divinity is imparted to a form fashioned to exist as a companion to
immortal, incorruptible GOD. Communication, exchange and interaction
with the Creator became possible for mankind through the deposit of
inseparable divine substance. Included were faith, holiness,
longsuffering, lovingkindness, personhood, wisdom, and wrath against
sin. The tribes of Jacob were already acknowledged by GOD as his
“son,” and were the property of Pharaoh as all the land, its
livestock, and the people. When Moses led the twelve tribes and a
multitude from the Gentile nations out of Egypt, the Hebrews were
being separated to serve as a nation on the earth under the dominion
of the living GOD. They also were chosen to serve as caretakers and
priests entrusted with divine oracles, sacred law, and holy
sacraments. Those who are born again, and receive sacred
knowledge, rather than worldly and secular knowledge, must
“grow up again;” and by their indwelling spirit will be made able
to discern and recognize correctly the spiritual events fulfilling
the promises and prophecies regarding the Messiah. Consider again
the following that uses language from the Bible:
1.
Genesis 3: 8-15, King James Version (KJV): 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. 9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and
said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy
voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked;
and I hid myself. 11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast
naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that
thou shouldest not eat? 12 And the man said, The woman whom thou
gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is
this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The
serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14 And the LORD
God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art
cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy
belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy
life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and
between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou
shalt bruise his heel.

Numbers 23: 19, KJV: 19 God is not a man, that he should
lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said,
and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not
make it good?
3.
Daniel 9: 21-27, KJV: 21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in
prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the
beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of
the evening oblation. 22 And he informed me, and talked with
me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and
understanding. 23 At the beginning of thy supplications the
commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou
art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and
consider the vision. 24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people
and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an
end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in
everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy,
and to anoint the most Holy. 25 Know therefore and understand, that
from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build
Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks,
and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and
the wall, even in troublous times. 26 And after threescore and two
weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people
of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the
sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto
the end of the war desolations are determined. 27 And he shall
confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the
week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for
the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate,
even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon
the desolate.

1st John 2: 22-28, KJV: 22 Who is a liar but he that
denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the
Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not
the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the
Father also. 24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have
heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the
beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and
in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us,
even eternal life. 26 These things have I written unto
you concerning them that seduce you. 27 But the anointing which ye
have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man
teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and
is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall
abide in him. 28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when
he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before
him at his coming.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 5. 1st John 5: 10-12, KJV:
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself:
he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth
not the record that God gave of his Son. 11 And this is the record,
that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the
Son of God hath not life.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be
useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
