God's Plan For Man html

the Father anointed Jesus as His only Son to prepare the way for mere man in order that he could follow in His footsteps. The second time, the Father, meaning Jesus [ as t he Fa t he r and J e sus ar e now one ], sends His only begotten son in His name to finish the Father’s will. The son honors the Father and does precisely what he is asked to do to prepare for Jesus’ second coming. Hence, there are two comings, a second coming of Christ, and the second coming of Jesus. Note to the reader: Mere man [as the prophet Elijah foretold] prepares the way for Jesus’ second coming at the end of the age known as “ ha l f a t ime” . The theology within Christianity suggests or infers Jesus’ Second Coming will occur today is a misnomer, because Jesus’ enemies have yet put under His footstool. Jesus finished what He came to earth to accomplish; to suggest otherwise is blasphemy. The first, second coming pertains to the name “Chr i s t , ” perfectly applicable a second time, because the first application was incorrect as such when it pertained to Jesus; He was not the mere man the world or Satan expected. The prophecy, which states, “He who c ome s i n t he name o f t he Lo rd , ” is applicable both times, but Christ, as anointed, comes a second time; the name Christ was an epithet but His name is Jesus. The anointing of Christ was to be an anointing by the Father, the first and second time by our LORD Jesus—who is the Father, unseen or recognized by most in this world. The questions that are now raised concerning the son, in this sense, and pertain to a statement given in the scriptures by Jesus must be perfectly addressed and affirmed in order to satisfy the issue: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.” (John 3: 16-20) The question is this: what does “begotten” mean in a spiritual sense and in a worldly or physical sense? In a worldly sense, it means that a man and
