WHO IS THIS MELCHISEDEC #47
The Difference Between God and His Son
Brian Kocourek
In
the sermon WHO IS THIS MELCHISEDEC preached on
"Now,
now, we find out that this Person had no father, no mother, no beginning of
days or ending of life. It was God "En morphe".
Now, the Greek word means "change," was used, changing Himself,
"En morphe", from one person to... One
person... The Greek word there, "En morphe,"
means... It was taken from the stage act, "that one person is
changing his mask to make him some other character." Like in school
just recently--I believe, Rebekah, just before she
graduated, they had one of Shakespeare's plays. And one young man had to change
his clothes several times, because he played two or three different parts, but
the same person. He'd come out; one time he was the villain. And when he come out next time, he was another character." 40 And now the Greek word "En morphe" mean that he changed His mask. And that's what
God did. It's the same God all the time. God in the form of the Father, The Spirit, the Pillar of Fire, the same God was made flesh
and dwelt among us: "En morphe," brought
out so He could be seen.
The Vines Greek
Dictionary tells us the meaning of “En morphe” is 1) the form by
which a person or thing "strikes the vision"; external
appearance.
Now,
I would like to show from Scripture where this word En-Morphe
is used to show by it that there is a difference between the Father and the
Son.
PHILIPPIANS 2:6 Who (that’s speaking of Jesus
as the pre-incarnate Son of God), being in the
form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made
himself (that’s the pre-incarnate Son of God) of no reputation, and took upon him (the
pre-incarnate Son of God) the form of a servant,
and was made in the likeness of men: (so we are told here
that the pre-incarnate Son became incarnate in a human form or body) 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. (Now,
we must ask ourselves the question. Who did He, the Son of God humble Himself
unto? The Answer is to God, His Father. Remember His words, “Father I would that you take this cup from me, but
nevertheless, not My will but Thy will be done.” LUKE 22:42)
From his sermon entitled, UNVEILING OF GOD 64-0614M 52 William Branham, Prophet of God said, If you notice here in Philippians he said,
"Not thinking it robbery, but took the form of man..." Now, the Greek
word there for that form, I've been looking at it all day yesterday, trying to
think out what it was, I find, come with this word of "en morphe." It's spelled e-n
m-o-r-p-h-e. Looking in the Greek to find out what "en morphe"
was... I may pronounce that wrong, but I... Reason I spell it, when if the tape
is released, the people will, scholars will know what I--I mean by it. He...
When the "en morphe"... That means that
"He changed Hisself." He--He
come down. Now, the Greek word there means that "something that
could not be seen, yet it's there, and then it's changed, and the eye can catch
it." See? 54 Like Elijah was at
Again from his sermon IDENTIFIED CHRIST OF ALL AGES 64-0617 77 William Branham said, “Remember, God changes His form. "En morphe," the Greek word means "He puts on a
different mask."
And again from his sermon The MIGHTY GOD UNVEILED 64-0629 15-1 William Branham
taught, “He
changed His en morphe. He changed from what He was
to what He is. He never changes His nature.”
Now, in this study we are
not going to teach on the En Morphe, but I need to
bring this out to you because William Branham defines the En Morphe as the changing of what is being seen. So it has
to do with the presentation, although the nature is never changed, the
presentation or vessel is.
God in the Pillar of Fire
is no different that God in His Son or God in His Church. And yet, we know that
while in the state of the Pre-incarnation, the Son of God was in the form of
God. Therefore we have got to conclude that God had a form and the Son was in
the same form. Let's read it again carefully.
PHILIPPIANS 2:6 Who, being in the
form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made
himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and
was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
I would like to read this
from several other translations, so that we might get the full impact of what
is being said, because many people are confused about whether or not God had a
form other than the form that His Son dwelt in.
NIV: Who being in
very nature God; did not consider equality with God something to be
grasped. But made himself nothing, taking the very
nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in the
appearance of man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death, - even
death on a cross.
AMPLIFIED: Who, although
being essentially one with God and in the form of God (possessing the fullness of
the attributes which make God, God), did not think this equality with
God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained: But stripped himself of all
privileges and rightful dignity so as to assume the guise of a servant or
slave, in that He became like men and was born a human being. And after He
had appeared in human form He abased and humbled Himself still further and
carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross.
The
Weymouth Translation says, "Although
from the very beginning He had the nature of God, He did not reckon
equality with God a treasure to be tightly grasped. Nay, He stripped Himself
of His Glory, and took on Him the nature of a bondservant, a man
like other men.
Emphatic Diaglott: Who, though being in God's form, yet did not meditate to usurpation to be like
God, but divested Himself, taking a bondsman's form having been made in the
likeness of men, and being in condition as a man, he humbled himself, becoming
obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Now we have read 5
translations (the number of Grace) and every one pointed to the fact that there
was a time when the Son of God was so much like God, that in all His
attributes, in His Nature and full expression, He was the very representation,
the very effulgence, or expression of God.
And Paul says, He was in the FORM, the EN
MORPHE of God. Therefore, God had a form, and the Son of God was identical
to God in that form in every detail, in every characteristic, and in every
attribute, except that He was not God. Now, most people do not believe that God has a
form. But if Jesus came forth in the exact expression of the Father, then the
Father had to have a form to express although God’s form is invisible Spirit,
yet the expression can not be anything other than what God’s form is, or else
it is not in the exact representation or likeness. Therefore, God is not some
floating cloud-like spirit. He is not just an eternal Mind although He has an
eternal mind, but God has a form.
That is why brother Branham
could say from his sermon 25 HEBREWS Chapter 7, Part 1HEB 292-25 -- 57-0915 2E
“Now, the reason that there's a
difference between God and Jesus: Jesus had a beginning, God had no
beginning; Melchisedec had no beginning, and Jesus had a beginning.
But Jesus was made liken unto Him.
Now, here's the thing I
want to bring out in this message.
Brother Branham is telling us here that the very fact that Jesus had a
beginning and God did not have a beginning shows that there is a difference
between the two of them right there. Now, we are told that Jesus had the same
in nature, and the same expression in every detail as the Father, but notice that
brother Branham says here that One was God, (the One that is the Father), and
the other one (the one that is not God) was the Son of God, and the Son of God
is not God, but He is the Son of God. And if you make Him “God … the Son”, then
you have Two God's. Now, he quotes the Scripture that tells us He was
made like unto Him, but that does not make Him God.
HEBREWS 1:1 ¶ God, who at sundry times and in divers
manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these
last days spoken unto us in Son, whom He (God) hath
appointed heir of all things, by whom also He (God) made the worlds; 3 Who (The Son of God) being the brightness of His (God’s) glory, and the express image of his (God’s) person, and
upholding all things by the word of His (God’s) power, when He (The
Son of God) had by himself purged our sins, (He,
the Son of God) sat down on the right hand of the
Majesty on high; (That’s God) 4
¶ Being made so much better than the
angels, as he (the Son of God) hath by inheritance obtained a more
excellent name than they. (Therefore if He obtained His name by
inheritance, He did not have it to begin with, but was given that name, by His
Father.) 5 For unto which of the angels said He (God) at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?
And again, I (God) will be to him (The
Son of God) a Father, and he (the Son of
God) shall be to me a Son? 6 And again, when he (God) bringeth in the firstbegotten into
the world, he (God) saith, And let all the angels of God worship him (The Son of God). 7 And of
the angels he (God) saith, Who maketh his (God’s) angels spirits, and his (God’s) ministers a flame of fire. 8 But unto the Son he (the
Son of God) saith, Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever
and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness,
and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God,(whose
God? The Son of God’s God) hath anointed thee (the
Son of God) with the oil of gladness above thy(the Son of God’s )
fellows.
In
the NIV translation we read
Hebrews 1:3 as follows: “The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of
his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.”
We also find in the Amplified version of Hebrews 1: 3 “He is the sole
expression of the glory of God, - the Light Being, - the out raying of the
Divine. And He is the perfect imprint and very image of God's Nature,
upholding, and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His Mighty
Word of Power.”
And I would like to add,
"This one, Who in every way resembles and
reflected the nature and will of God, laid it all down, to become like you and
I, in the form of man, En Morphe, he changed
His form to die the worst death a man could die.
PHILIPPIANS 2:6 Who, (speaking
of the Son of God) being in the form of God:
So God
has a form. 6 Who, being in the form of
God, the En Morphe of God, He
struck the vision of God. Brother Branham said, "He changed from what He was to what He is. He never changes
His nature."
From the MASTERPIECE 64-0705 79 William
Branham said, "The perfect image of the God-man, God En morphe
had changed from Supernatural to the vision. And the vision was
projected into the Image. And the Image was smitten so that
the Supernatural could taste the feeling of death,
God's perfect Masterpiece.
God in
His Son, living, breathing, and feeling the pains of rejection. Yet God is the only
immortal, and He can not die. Again in the sermon, MANIFESTED SONS OF GOD 60-0518 88 William Branham said, "In the

Spirit left Him in the Garden of
Now, we know then that in
the pre-incarnate form that the Son
of God dwelt in, Paul tells us in Philippians, that He was in the En Morphe of God. He was in the form of God. Now, most people
think because God is Spirit that He has no form, but is only an eternal mind. They
think of God is some sort and shapeless cloud-like Spirit floating around. And
that thinking is error, and takes away from the person of God. Therefore, let's
see what the Bible tells us of God's form.
#1) God has a head like a
man.
Revelation 10: 1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a
cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun,
and his feet as pillars of fire: So we see God
has a head.
A) And in
that head God has a mouth.
ISAIAH 40:5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and
all flesh shall see [it] together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken
[it].
DEUTERONOMY 8:3 And he humbled
thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might
make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man
live.
MATTHEW 4:4 But Jesus answered and said, It is written, Man
shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of God.
B) Not only does God have a
mouth, but God has a voice as well.
Therefore God has vocal chords, as we would call them.
GENESIS 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.
C) God has
Hair on His head
DANIEL 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.
D) On God’s
head God has a face that has eyes and ears and even a nose.
I PETER
PSALMS 34:15 (a) The eyes of the
LORD [are] upon the righteous, (b) and his ears [are open] unto
their cry.
II SAMUEL 22:16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of
the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the
breath of his nostrils.
GENESIS 8:21 And (c) the LORD
smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his
heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the
imagination of man's heart [is] evil from his youth; neither will I again smite
any more every thing living, as I have done.
#2) And on either side
of God’s Head God has shoulders.
ISAIAH 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is
given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
#3) And
attached to God’s shoulders, God has arms and at the end of those arms God has
hands.
PSALMS 98:1 ¶ A Psalm. O sing
unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous
things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.
I KINGS
PSALMS 95:7 ¶ For he [is] our God;
and we [are] the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To
day if ye will hear his voice,
#4) And between God’s
shoulders God has a bosom,
JOHN 1:18 No man hath seen
God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father,
he hath declared [him]. Bosom = kolpos, the front of the body between the arms.
#5) And in that Bosom The Lord God has a heart
GENESIS 6:6 ¶ And it repented the
LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
#6) And
not only in that bosom The Lord God has a heart, but below that God has bowels
as well.
JEREMIAH 31:20 [Is] Ephraim my
dear son? [is he] a pleasant child? for
since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my
bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the
LORD.
#7) Which is completion, therefore to complete God’s form, God
has legs and feet.
DEUTERONOMY 23:14 For the LORD thy
God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to
deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy
camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
NAHUM 1:3 The LORD [is] slow to anger, and great in power, and
will not at all acquit [the wicked]: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and
in the storm, and the clouds [are] the dust of his feet.
And of course God has a
form. We have named all the parts which He has and when Moses got to take a
peak God would not let Him see His Face so He showed Moses His back side.
EXODUS 33:18 And he said, I
beseech thee, shew me thy glory. 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. 20 And he said, Thou
canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. 21 And the LORD
said, Behold, [there is] a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 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: 23 And I will take away mine hand, and
thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
Brother Branham said from
the message, ENTOMBMENT 57-0420 50 God isn't without a
body. God's got a body, and it looks like a man. Moses
saw it; others saw it, and it looks like a man.
HEBREWS CHAPTER 4 57-0901E 142-132 As we had it the other night, God in the
beginning was Spirit. And then from God went out the Logos, or the Theophany which was a form of a man called the Son of God
(prefigured). He came in earth in a body of flesh, even before He came in
Jesus Christ. Now, swallow that one once, brother. I'll prove it to you.
When Moses saw Him, he said, "Let me see Your
form, Lord." And God hid him in a rock. And when He passed by, he said it
was the back part of a man. That was that Theophany.
That's exactly. Then that Theophany had to be made
flesh, not another person, but the same Person had to become flesh to take the
sting out of death.
QA HEBREWS PART
3 57-1006 342-841 God had never become flesh yet; He was in a theophany. And Moses saw Him. Moses cried, "Lord, let
me see You." He said, "Go yonder and hide in
the rock, in the cleft. And Moses got back in that cleft; and when God passed
by, the lightning and thunders... And as God passed by, He had His back
turned like this. And Moses said It was the back of a
SIR WE WOULD SEE
JESUS 54-1205 E-12 Now, here comes Jesus,
God Himself, incarnate in His Son, Christ Jesus, tabernacled to take away sin. Notice what Brother Branham
said, here. He said here comes Jesus which is God Himself incarnated in His Son
Christ Jesus. Then what we have is Jesus in Jesus. That’s what William Branham
said in We would see Jesus 58-0612 P:55 he said, “Look. When He was here on earth, how many knows that that
was the Pillar of Fire that followed the children of
INTER VEIL
56-0121 E-8 No man will ever reach the plane that Jesus stood on. He was God,
incarnate God, made manifest here on earth in flesh to give us what God was. God
was in His Son reconciling the world to Himself. No man will ever reach
that plane. He's God's only begotten Son. Or, "In Him dwelled the
fullness of the Godhead bodily." Everything of God was in Christ. But
you have the Spirit by portion. He had It without
measure. You got a measure, like a spoonful of water out of the ocean. It's a
spoonful of the same chemicals, but not much of it.
PARADOX 61-1210 315 I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of
the living God, borned of a virgin, conceived,
God in a womb, a Tabernacle in which He would dwell in. I believe that, in
Christ, He is the incarnate God. He is God made flesh. When the Father God came
into Jesus Christ, He was the Fullness of the Godhead bodily; in Him dwells
all the Fullness. God the Father spoke the Words. Jesus said, "It's not Me that speaketh, but My Father that dwelleth in Me. He doeth the speaking."
IS THIS THE SIGN
OF THE END SIR 62-1230E 31-1 The 7th mystery
is of God, even Christ, as the incarnate Fullness of the Godhead embodied, in
Whom all Divine wisdom and godliness is restored to man.
FIRST SEAL THE
63-0318 161-3 {301} Notice, and when this Holy Spirit that
we have, becomes incarnate to us, the One that's in our midst now in the form
of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us in the Person of Jesus Christ, we'll
crown Him King of king...?..That's right. See?
Now in getting back to our
text let me read it again, PHILIPPIANS 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery
to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the
form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being
found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross.
AMPLIFIED: Who, although
being essentially one with God and in the form of God (possessing the fullness of the
attributes which make God, God), did not think this equality with God was a
thing to be eagerly grasped or retained: But stripped himself of all privileges
and rightful dignity so as to assume the guise of a servant or slave, in that
He became like men and was born a human being. And after He had appeared in
human form He abased and humbled Himself still further and carried His
obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross.
The Weymouth Translation says,
"Although from the very beginning He had the nature of God, He
did not reckon equality with God a
treasure to be tightly grasped. Nay, He stripped Himself of His Glory,
and took on Him the nature of a bondservant, a man like other men.
Although
in the pre-incarnate form, or as Paul says here, Although from the very beginning He had the nature of God … Who, being in the en Morphe of
God, Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God (possessing the fullness of the
attributes which make God, God), yet he made Himself of no reputation, (that word is keno the root of kenos) He emptied
Himself out. Made nothing of himself, but took on
another en morphe, the en morphe
of a man. And in that state let's see what attributes He displayed. Now, up
until the time of the incarnation as man, he never made a reputation for
Himself. He never sought His own Glory, he never was recognized as a separate
being from God because He was so One with God that He became the very out
raying of God, and yet he was a separate being from God, but He reflected God
in every detail, in nature, in attributes and characteristics, that you could
not tell or separate Himself from God. When God created, He did it through His
Son. When God guided, maintained and controlled the Universe, he did it through
His Son. The Son had no distinctive features or attributes that could be
identified as being different from the Father, and thus He appeared to be the
same being. Philippians 2: 9 Wherefore
God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every
name: And what name is that? His own Name of
course, for what other name is above all names exept
the name of the Lord God Himself.
Yet when he come to earth, in the form or en morphe
of a man, I want you to see the attributes He expressed in this form.
I have put together a list
of things which I believe show that there is a difference between The Father
and The Son.
#1) God is God and He does not
have a God. Behold O
John 20: 17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my
Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and
your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Mark 15: 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being
interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Now, this word forsaken means to totally
abandon. How could Jesus cry out that God had
abandoned Him if the Man Jesus was God? Can God totally abandon Himself from
Himself?
Matthew 27: 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli,
Eli, lama sabachthani? that
is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
John 8: 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:
John 10: 36 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?
John 8: 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:
And not only from Jesus Himself do we
hear this talk that God is His Father, but we also hear from the Apostle Paul
that God is the God of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 1: 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed
us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Ephesians 1: 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give
unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
#2)
God is Not only the God of Jesus Christ but He is the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ as well. Jesus called God His Father showing there is
a difference between the two. And William Branham said Jesus
could not be His own Father.
Seed shall not be heir
65-0429B P:45 There's where the oneness missed it; there's where the trinity missed it, both sides of the road. But the
happy medium's right in between. If God could be His own Father, if
Jesus was His Own Father, He couldn't be. And if He had another Father
besides God, and the Bible said the Holy Ghost was His Father, and if they're
two different spirits, He's a illegitimate child.
That's right. Which was the Father of Him, God or the Holy Ghost? You say one
and watch how embarrassed you're going to get. See? God was His Father.
Is that right?
Questions and answers COD
59-0628E P:113 Now, somebody said Brother Branham is a "oneness." No,
sir, I am not a oneness. I do not believe that
Jesus could be His own father. I believe that Jesus had a Father, and
that was God. But God dwelled and tabernacled IN
this body called Jesus,
and He was Emmanuel: God with us. And there's no other God besides this God. He
is Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. And the Name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost...
Father: the Lord, Son: Jesus, Holy Ghost: Logos, Spirit of God. Father, Son,
Holy Ghost, Lord Jesus Christ; that's Him. And IN Him dwelled the
Fullness of the Godhead bodily.
Show us the Father 53-0907A P:96 There's only
one God. And I differ and disagree agree with the organization of Pentecost
that calls the Oneness like your finger is one. That's wrong. Absolutely, it's
wrong. God... Jesus couldn't have been His Own Father, and if God is a
Man, then Jesus was born sexual desire and not virgin birth. That settles the
whole thing. You see? If He's one like your finger's one,
then what? Then He was His Own daddy. How could He have been?
That's wrong. He had a Father, Jesus did.
Cruelty of sin 53-0403 P:73 There He died,
friendless, even forsaken by God Himself. God, and,
then, His Own Father, forsaken Him, bleeding.
Palmerworm locust caterpillar
59-0823 P:79 And you Oneness brethren, many of you get off the wrong track when you
try to think that God is one like your finger is one. He can't be His Own
Father. He can't be. But He is God. God is Jehovah, the Spirit; Christ
was the House that He dwelt in.
Revelation chapter one
60-1204M P:66 Now, at the Nicene Council, they come to two great decisions on
the... Oh, many of them in that day of the early church fathers, they had
two extreme views. One of them was a triune God, a trinitarian.
And the other one was a one God. And they both come into existence and went out
on two straight limbs, out like that. The triunity
became a place of a three-god person. The oneness became a unitarian, just as far wrong as the
other one was. So they both went on limbs, but right in here reveals the
Truth. Jesus could not be His own Father. If He had a Father outside of the Holy Spirit,
then He is a illegitimate child and not... The Holy
Ghost conceived Him, and He said God was His Father. So the Holy Ghost
and God... That's Matthew 1:18, if... The Holy Ghost and God has to be the same Person or He had two daddy's.
Now, that we have seen what William
Branham taught concerning the Father and the Son, let’s see what the Apostles
taught as well.
Peter:
Matthew 16: 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of
the living God.
1 Peter 1: 3 Blessed be the

a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

JOHN
John 14: 28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto
you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for
my Father is greater than
Well, they will quote Isaiah 9:6, so
let’s look at Isaiah 9:6 and read it for ourselves.
Isaiah 9: 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The
Prince of Peace.
Now, let’s read this one thought at a
time. For unto us a child is born. Now,
if the child is born then he had a beginning. Therefore he can not be the
eternal Father. Also, if he is born then someone had to give
Him birth. And the word born suggests several things. It suggests
pedigree or lineage. It also suggests a carrying, for the one who gives birth
had to carry this one. And it also suggests to bring
forth. So if it brought forth from someone, then there had to be that someone
there before the one that is born.
Secondly, we read, unto us a son is given: Now, if the Son is given,
then someone Greater had to give it. And we are told in
Now, let’s examine the third thought
here, and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
So
we see that he will be placed in a position of ruler-ship. Luke 1: 32 He
shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord
God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
Now, let’s examine the last portion which
deals with the name of this child, this Son that will be born. : and His name shall be called
Wonderful, (is wonderful a name? No. It is a description.) His name shall be called Counsellor,(is
counselor a name? No. It is a title.) His name shall
be called The mighty God,(is the Might God a name? No, it is
a title. ) His name shall be called The everlasting
Father, (is Father a name? No, it is a title.) His name shall be called The Prince of Peace (is
the Prince of Peace a name? No. It is a title.) Now,
there is only one name of the Ever Lasting Father and the Mighty God and the Counsellor, etc. And that name is Jesus. Therefore when he
says, His name shall be called, we must further look at what it means when it
says His name shall be “called”. This word “called” was
translated from the Hebrew word qara
which means to proclaim. So we see His name shall proclaim the Might God, and His
name shall proclaim the Everlasting Father.
Therefore, the Name Jesus proclaims the Mighty God and Everlasting
Father, for it is the Father’s name. Jesus told us that in,
John 5: 43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him
ye will receive. That
is why William Branham
said, And how many knows that that
was Jesus in Jesus?”
And that is why Brother Branham called
Jesus a dual being.
CURTAIN OF TIME 55-0302 E-22 They couldn't
understand Him. He was a mystery, even to the Apostles. No one could understand
Him, because there was two people talking all the
time. -23 The Person Jesus Christ was talking, and God was talking in
Him, also. Sometimes it was Christ himself; sometimes it was the Father
that dwelt in Him. You see it? He--they couldn't understand some things He
would say; He talked in riddles to them.
SHOW US THE FATHER IT'LL SATISFY 56-0422 E-36 Now, it's many
times it's been said that no man can see God at anytime, the Bible said so. But
the only begotten of the Father has declared Him. Philip, here was very
inquisitive; he wanted to see the Father. Says here He said, "I've been so
long with you, Philip, and you don't know Me?"
Said, "When you see Me you see My Father." In
other words, you see the Father express Hisself
through the Son. Him and the Father were one in the
sense that His Father was dwelling in Him, not Him doing the works; He was a
Son, Himself, the immortal, virgin born, Son of God. And then in Him was
dwelling the God the Father, expressing Hisself to
the world, His attitude towards the people. See? Well, that's how Christ and
God were one. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.
Now, He said, "When you see Me, you see the Father,
and why do you say, 'Show us the Father?'
JEHOVA JIREH 56-0429 053 "That's the reason people couldn't understand Him. Sometime it was
Christ speaking... or was the Son speaking. Other times it was the Father
speaking. He was a dual Person. He was one Man, the Son. God was in,
which was tabernacling in Him. But what did He
do? Did He go around saying, "I'm the Healer."
Very contrary, He said, "I'm not the Healer." He said, "It isn't
Me that doth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth
in Me." And in Saint John the 19th chapter when He was questioned for
passing a whole bunch of crippled, lame, withered, halt, blind people, healed
one man laying on a pallet, the Father showed Him to go there and heal. Walked
away and left the rest of them laying there, they
questioned Him. A man packing his bed on the sabbath. Listen to what He said.
LET US SEE GOD 131 59-1129 …I
said, "He was more than... God was in Him. He was a man, but He was a dual
Person. One, He was a man; the Spirit in Him was God." I said,
"God was in Christ." She said, "Aw, no." I said,
"Look, lady, I'll take your own Scripture. He was a man, but He was a
God-man. When He went down to the grave of Lazarus, He did weep like a man.
That's true. But when He stood there, straightened His little stooped shoulders
up, and said, 'Lazarus, come forth,' and a dead man, that'd been dead four days
come to life again, that was more than a man. Man couldn't do that. That was God
in His Son."
Now, let’s just read a few more verses
that show that God is the Father of Jesus from Jesus own words.
Luke 10: 22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the
Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
John 15: 23 He that hateth me hateth
my Father also.
John 15: 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you
friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have
made known unto you.
John 15: 1 I am the true vine, and my Father
is the husbandman.
John 14: 20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye
in me, and I in you.
John 14: 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works
that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I
go unto my Father.
John 5: 17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh
hitherto, and I work.
Matthew 26: 53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father,
and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
Matthew 26: 42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my
Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will
be done.
Matthew 10: 32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I
confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also
deny before my Father which is in heaven.
John
John 15: 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I
have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
John 12: 27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from
this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
John 14: 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my
sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent
me.
John 8: 16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the
Father that sent me.
John
5: 30 I can of mine own self do nothing:
as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will,
but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
Luke 23: 46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into
thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for
I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came
I of myself, but he sent me.
#3) We know that
Jesus came in His Father’s name. Therefore the
name of the Father was Jesus.
John 5: 43 I am come in my Father's name, and
ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
Therefore the name of the Father was
Jesus, the same name given to the Son. Now, we have already quoted a couple
times where William Branham said it was Jesus that was in Jesus. He said, “Jesus
in Jesus.” Now, I am not trying to trick you here, that is what he said. The Apostle Paul said, God was IN Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. He did not say God was Christ,
but God was In Christ. 2 Corinthians 5: 19 To
wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not
imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of
reconciliation.
Paul did not teach that Jesus was the
Fullness of the Godhead, but he taught that IN Him dwelt the
fullness of the Godhead. Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
Peter did not teach that the Holy Ghost
was Jesus, but he gave witness that God the Father spoke and said that He came
down and dwelt IN His Son. 2 Peter 1: 17
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from
the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, IN whom I am
well pleased. And brother Branham interpreted this as God saying
that He was pleased to dwell in His Son, and so we must also.
Godhead Explained 61-0119A P:56 The Spirit of
God, like a dove, descended and a voice from heaven (which was above Him)
saying, "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am pleased to dwell."
(Really, the right translation... They got the verb before the adverb, like all
the foreigner is... "This is My beloved Son,
in whom I am pleased to dwell in." Or, "Whom I am pleased to
dwell." "In Whom I am pleased to dwell." )
That was God coming into Jesus, and in Him was the fullness of the Godhead
bodily.
John 10: 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that
I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
#4) Jesus prayed to the Father. JOHN
#5) The Son of God could
learn which means He was not Omniscient as God is
Omniscient and Knows all things.
HEBREWS 5:7 Who in the
days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong
crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard
in that he feared; 8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience (to
come under subjection) by the things which he suffered; 9 And being
made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that
obey him; (learn is to increase ones
knowledge, and obedience shows submission). He learned to come under
subjection.
Now, if this young man was
God, then how could he increase in anything. God is
all knowing yet in MATTHEW
24:36 Jesus said, But of that day and hour knoweth no
[man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only, showing The Son did not possess Omniscience.
#6) He was made perfect or
mature and complete. This means that the
Son of God could change in His stature, wisdom and maturity. God can not change (Mal
3:6 and Hebrews 13:8)
LUKE
#7) The Son is in
subjection to the Father. I CORINTHIANS 15:28 And when all
things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject
unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
#8) Jesus had set aside His
Glory that He had with the Father in the beginning, and was dependent upon the
Father to restore it to Him again. JOHN 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self
with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. This tells us
that he had it but stepped aside from it, and now is asking for it to be
restored to Him again.
Most notable is the fact
that He stripped Himself of all privilege when he came to earth to take on the
form of man, and emptied Himself out completely and took on the nature of a
bond-slave.
The Weymouth Translation says,
"Although
from the very beginning He had the nature of God, He did not reckon
equality with God a treasure to be
tightly grasped. Nay, He stripped Himself
of His Glory, and took on Him the nature of a bondservant, a man like other
men.
And as a bond
slave, the main attribute expressed is that of submission to the will of the
slave owner.
#9) Jesus was dependent
upon the will of His Father HEBREWS 10:7 ¶ Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the
book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering
and burnt offerings and [offering] for sin thou wouldest
not, neither hadst pleasure [therein]; which are
offered by the law; 9 Then said he,
Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10 By the which will
we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for
all].
#10)
Jesus could not so anything unless the Father showed Him first. JOHN
5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, The Son can do nothing of himself, (then he can not
create, he can not save, he can not heal, he can not redeem,) but what he
seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. 20 For the Father loveth
the Son, and sheweth him all
things that himself doeth: and he will shew him
greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
JOHN
#11) Jesus was dependent on
the Father for His doctrine as well. JOHN 7:16 Jesus answered
them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but
his that sent me. 17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the
doctrine, whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak
of myself. 18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his
own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent
him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
#12) The Father sent the
Son. I JOHN 4:1 ¶
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son [to be]
the Saviour of the world.
JOHN 5:36 But I have greater witness than [that] of John: for the
works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear
witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me,
hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen
his shape.
#13) God raised up Jesus
from the dead.
ACTS
ACTS 4:10 Be it known unto
you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of
Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, [even] by him doth
this man stand here before you
ACTS 5: 30 The God of our fathers
raised up Jesus, whom ye slew
and hanged on a tree
ACTS
GALATIANS 1: 1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ,
and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
#14) The Son receives Life from the Father
JOHN 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given
to the Son to have life in himself;
#14) The Son is not sovereign.
In
JOHN
Now,
it is very apparent here that Jesus is telling the Jews that he is helpless
unless the Father shows him what to do. He says, the
Son can do NOTHING. Then the son cannot save, he cannot heal, he cannot redeem,
he can do nothing, unless shown by the Father what to do. These are not the
words of One who is Sovereign. But God is Sovereign.
God is Omniscient and Omnipotent.
1.
One who is sovereign answers to no one.
2.
One who is sovereign reigns supreme above all.
3.
One who is sovereign is completely independent of all others.
Therefore,
the Son of God is not and was not Sovereign, for He was completely dependent
upon the Father to act and to speak. He did not have his own words, nor his own actions, nor his own doctrine, and he subjected
His own will to the Father. I challenge you to make a chart that lists these
three attributes of Sovereignty, and then take any Scripture that speaks of the
Son of God and check yes or no to whether he displays the attributes of One Who
is Sovereign, and the answer is you can’t find one Scripture speaking of a
Sovereign son. You will find scripture for an obedient son, but never any
Scripture of a son who is sovereign. It
is God that indwelt that Son that is sovereign. God is Omniscient, and God is
Omnipotent, but the son was always dependent upon the Father for everything
including; speaking, acting, His doctrine, and even submitting His own will to
the Father’s will.

And
what about "Father, I would that you take this
cup from me, But not My will but Thine be done",
etc. Those are not words of one who is sovereign. We could continue with this
study using many more scriptures, in fact all Scriptures concerning the Son of God,
but I’ll leave it up to you to try it yourself.
JOHN
In
the next verse we find Jesus again explaining how it works. JOHN
Now,
let’s continue reading what Jesus says concerning this unique relationship he
has with His Father. JOHN
JOHN
So
how can we refuse Him that speaketh when He is only speaking the words of the Father. Now, let’s get back to JOHN
5:23 That all men should honour
the Son, even as they honour the Father. He
that honoureth not the Son honoureth
not the Father which hath sent him. Now, first we want to point out
that Jesus tells us if we do not give Him honor then we cannot honor the Father
that sent Him.
That
again ought to tell you that He is saying, since everything the Son doeth, the
Father has shown Him first to do, then we should honor Him even as we
honor the Father.
In
honoring the Son we are honoring the Father, because the Son is only doing what
the Father has instructed Him to do. Thus what we see being done is the Father
working and the son working hitherto. Thus in giving honor to the son we are
acknowledging the Father’s preeminent role, and the son’s role of complete
obedience to the Father.
Now,
in reading the next verse, we must remember that the Words Jesus is speaking He
had first learned from the Father to say. JOHN 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my
word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not
come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. We find
Jesus clarifying this in JOHN 14:10b The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but
the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Notice he is
saying, these are my Fathers words, not mine. This is
identical to what we had read in various other Scriptures so far, and should
need no further elucidation.
JOHN 5:25 Verily, verily, I
say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the
voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. And
why is He saying this? Because He has already established that His Words, and
thus His Voice is nothing short of an echo of God’s own Words and thus God’s
own Voice. And He explains that in the next verse. 26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given
to the Son to have life in himself; Notice then that the very Life
that Jesus had was given to Him by one greater than Himself. His Life came from
the Father. And thus the Father who is the giver of Life.
Now,
in moving forward we find Jesus say in verse 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
because he is the Son of man. Remember, we had read earlier in verse
22 that the Father had committed all judgment unto the Son to execute, and we
had stated that this was an ability to be likeminded with the Father. Notice in
this verse Jesus tells us the authority to do so was also given Him by the
Father, because He is His Son. John 5:28 Marvel not
at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear
his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the
resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of
damnation. 30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I
judge: and my judgment is just; Why? because I seek
not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. There
you have it. Jesus can judge because God, His Father knows that he will only
judge what God has already judged. He said, I have not
come to do my own will but the will of the father which sent me. Then he says, 31 ¶ If I bear witness
of myself, my witness is not true. 32 There is another that beareth witness of
me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
In
verse 56 we find out Who the witness is, Jesus is
speaking about. And if Jesus is consistent in what he has been telling them,
then it has to be His Father that He is speaking about as we see in JOHN 5:36 But I have greater witness than that of John:
for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I
do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 37
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye
have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 38 And ye have
not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent,
him ye believe not.
Now, let’s stop for a
moment and look at another scripture that Jesus is speaking of this Judging.
Let’s turn to JOHN
Now if Jesus considered Himself to be One with God in that way, why would he speak these words?
But they could not see His Father because they did not understand what He was
talking about. And so they looked for one that can not be seen, and missed
seeing that He was living in His Son.
Now, in getting back to John
14:8 we read, Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the
Father, and it sufficeth us. 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? 10 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 doeth the works. 11 Believe
me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the
very works' sake.
Obviously
from what we have seen so far, Jesus is not saying here that He and His Father
are one like your finger is one. But what He is saying is that the same Word
that is in the Father, is abiding in Him and that makes Him one with the
Father. Brother Branham further clarified this in the sermon,
SHOW US THE
FATHER IT'LL SATISFY 56-0422 E-36 Now, it's many times
it's been said that no man can see God at anytime, the Bible said so. But the
only begotten of the Father has declared Him. Philip, here was very
inquisitive; he wanted to see the Father. Says here He said, "I've been so
long with you, Philip, and you don't know Me?"
Said, "When you see Me
you see My Father." In other words, you see the
Father express Hisself through the Son. Him and the Father were one in the sense that His Father was
dwelling in Him, not Him doing the works; He was a Son, Himself, the mortal,
virgin born, Son of God. And then in Him was dwelling the God, the Father,
expressing Hisself to the world, His attitude towards
the people. See? Well, that's how Christ and God were one. God was in Christ
reconciling the world to Himself. Now, He said,
"When you see Me, you see the Father, and why do
you say, 'Show us the Father?'"
Again
in the sermon, He Swore By Himself
54-1212 we
can find William Branham clarifying that this is what was meant by Jesus when
he spoke to Philip. He said, "I and My Father are One. My Father
is in Me." Said, "Show us now the Father."
Philip said, "Showeth me the Father and it'll satisfy me." Said, "Philip, I
been so long with you, and you don't know Me?" He said, "When
you see Me, you see the Father. And why say, 'Show me
the Father.' I and the Father are One. My Father's
living in Me now. It's not Me
that doeth the works; it's Him that dwells in me, that does the works." Oh, my.How could I tell a
man what was wrong with him? How could I tell him what his future will be ten
years, or what he was forty years ago? It isn't me. Hallelujah. It's Him that
lives in me, that come down, that through His Blood brought me in
fellowship with Him. Hallelujah. How could my hands do anything by healing the
sick? It hasn't got a bit of power. It's not me. But it's Him that dwells in
here that does it.
And
since three is a witness, let me share one more quote with you where William
Branham further elucidates my point that Jesus and God were one by reason of
the Father abiding in Him, directing Him by His Word. CONFERENCE
60-1125 E-73 When He
said, "It's not Me that doeth the
works. It's My Father. He dwelleth in
AS I WAS
WITH MOSES 51-0503
E-15 When Jesus of
GIFTS
56-1207 E-29 Now, in
Christ dwelt the Fullness of the Godhead bodily. He had all the Spirit of God
in Him. "I and My Father are One," said Jesus.
That's the reason the people couldn't understand Him. Sometimes He'd say
something, might look like He turn around and say
something different. It was Him speaking, then the Father speaking. See? They
were... And even the disciples could not understand Him. And right at the last,
they said, "Lo, now speakest
Thou plainly. Now, we believe by this if you know all things; no man needs to
teach you." Jesus said, "Do you now believe?" After all that time, they couldn't get the... Why? That sometimes He'd
say this and then say that. It was Him and the Father speaking. E-30 Now, notice
closely. Now, God dwelling in Christ used His voice to speak by. Jesus said in
His miracle, "Verily, verily, I say
unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing,
