God's Plan For Man html

been fulfilled? Was Jesus the seed of Abraham? The promise and inheritance applies to the seed—a human descendent—of Abraham. So is Jesus returning to claim the inheritance and promise? Of course not! God would not extend an inheritance to Himself, for Jesus was Divine. This inheritance or rather Divine Will has parameters that must be completed, and will apply to the whole world. If Jesus were to receive the inheritance, He could have accepted Satan’s offer in the desert; He could have answered, “yes,” when tempted and forgone the crucifixion, but His kingdom is not of this world. The covenant or inheritance is for man, according to a Divine Will. The words “I Am, who Am or I Am, that I Am” in a spiritual sense, refer to the speaker or do they pertain to the originator only? To whom was Jesus referring when He used the words “I AM”? Jesus knew who He was and would be. Jesus was saying that He i s the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, not the seed of Abraham as they suspected. Physically manifested as the Son of God then, and the Father now! Can anyone actually rationalize that Jesus is of the seed of a mortal man or the seed [essence] of God? Time was given to delineate a difference between the Father and son in two contexts. Jesus was/is clearly the great “I Am”; God revealed this concept to Moses. These words were a mystery, but they need not be a mystery; those who do not lack wisdom in the moment should be able to understand.

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” (Mark 12:26-27) And, we were reminded when Jesus said, “ For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him.” (Luke 8: 17-18) The realities of those words are astoundingly accurate and absolute in this time as well. The mystery is now revealed, because whenever the Spirit of God speaks through the counselor [a person], the use of the words “I Am, Who I Am” denotes a source, and this is what God revealed to Moses and as Jesus spoke in perfect context. The fact that I Am spiritual or you are spiritual gives recognition of the Spirit of God as the source within a
