Son of Man ~ Spirit ~ Angel... Mighty God

The following scriptures will help you to understand how Michael is like the One true God ~ Jehovah. This post is a continuation of the previous blog post: Son of Man ~ Spirit ~ Angel... Hallelujah

Isaiah 9:6 ASV — 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, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Strong's H1368: Mighty - strong, mighty. 

Strong's H410: God - god, god-like one, mighty one

Strong's H4317: Michael - "Who is like God" 

Revelation 10:1-3 ASV — And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, arrayed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire; and he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the earth; and he cried with a great voice, as a lion roareth: and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.

Compared to the “Vision of Divine Glory” of Jehovah…

Ezekiel 1:26-28 ASV — And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above. And I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward; and from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him. 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 Jehovah. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.

Jehovah God ~ the Most High

Psalm 83:18 ASV — That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth.

Strong's H3068: Jehovah - Jehovah = "the existing One" the proper name of the one true GOD.

Strong's H5945: Most High - high, upper; Highest, Most High; Name of God.

As I've stated before, there are many who don't believe that Jesus pre-existed. It is my hope that this will help them to understand that he did. Where I'm in agreement with this group, is that they seem to understand that Jesus Christ is the Firstborn of the New Creation referred to in John 1, he is a life-giving spirit...the Eternal Father. 

The man clothed in linen and the cherub...

In the following passages, please take note that Jehovah God goes up “from” the cherub, the man clothed in linen goes “under” that cherub to fill both hands with coal of fire from between the other cherubim. The four cherubim are under the expanse.

Exodus 25:19 ASV — And make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end: of one piece with the mercy-seat shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof.

Ezekiel 1:22-23 ASV — And over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of a firmament, like the terrible crystal to look upon, stretched forth over their heads above. 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.

Ezekiel 9:3-4 ASV — And behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lieth toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. And they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar. And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn by his side. And Jehovah said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof.

Ezekiel 9:11 ASV — And, behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.

Ezekiel 10:2 ASV — And he spake unto the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

Revelation 10:5-6 ASV — And the angel that I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein, and the sea and the things that are therein, that there shall be delay no longer:

Revelation 10:8 ASV — And the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard it again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel that standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

Daniel 12:1 ASV — And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Daniel 12:5-7 ASV — Then I, Daniel, looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on the brink of the river on this side, and the other on the brink of the river on that side. And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

I believe we it can be agreed that the strong angel in Revelation 10 is Michael the Archangel. If one can see that, then you can also see how Michael is in the likeness of Jehovah. (resemblance) If you are having a difficult time making sense of it, it's probably due to the doctrines of men. Please pray to Jehovah God, through Jesus Christ for guidance. All religions have some truths and many false teachings, it's up to you as an individual to figure out what they are. The only way to do that is to keep searching.

Matthew 7:7-8 ASV — Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

To sum it up…

The man clothed in linen is the Mighty Archangel Michael in Daniel 12 and Revelation 10. The strong (mighty) angel in Revelation 10 resembles the appearance of Jehovah God in Ezekiel 1. The son of man is Michael in Daniel 10 and when here on earth, it is Jesus Christ as shown in Matthew 12 and with a similar appearance in Revelation 1.

Michael the Archangel is the Prince of Peace in Isaiah 9:6 which is Jesus Christ in the future, when he’s anointed and inherits a name greater than the other angels in Hebrews 1, becoming the Eternal Father of the New Creation when ascends back to heaven sitting at the right hand of the Majesty on High (Jehovah) waiting to resume his role as Christ, when the Son of man returns and sits on his throne in Matthew 25.

Matthew 25:31 ASV — But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:

The two cherubs of the Most Holy…

John 14:2 ASV — In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

Two sinned, man and woman…Adam and Eve. The prophecy in Genesis 3:15 is about the woman and her seed – Jesus Christ. The two anointed ones in Zechariah 4. The woman is spoken of in Isaiah 54 and is persecuted first, before the remaining seed in Revelation 12. She is in union with Christ as stated in 2 Corinthians 12 and Revelation 11. The Most Holy is just one of many dwellings, the two cherubs sit with Jehovah as revealed above, and in previous blog posts for Exodus and Ezekiel...the lintel, door posts and threshold.

Matthew 9:22 ASV — But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

1 Corinthians 15:23 ASV — But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming. (at his coming, the remaining ones) 

Revelation 12:17 ASV — And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:

Message for all the churches…

1 Corinthians 1:10 ASV — Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

1 Corinthians 1:24 ASV — but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

God is LOVE, without LOVE you have nothing. 

LOVE ALL regardless of belief or disbelief. 

Please be KIND to one another. It will get worse, before it gets better.

Be aware of the Antichrist…

Matthew 24:23-25 ASV — Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you beforehand.

Matthew 24:36 ASV — But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.

Please be kind to one another, be a sheep...

Matthew 25:32-34 ASV — and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats; and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Matthew 25:40 ASV — And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me.

Not a goat...

Matthew 25:45-46 ASV — Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me. And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.

May Jehovah through Jesus Christ bring you…

Son of Man ~ Spirit ~ Angel... Hallelujah

This post is a continuation of the previous blog post: “Son of Man ~ Spirit ~ Angel". In this post continue to show more scriptures on how the Archangel Michael is linked to Jesus Christ and how Mighty God is actually a Mighty Angel above all others, and not part of a triune god. It also shows Jesus Christ did pre-exist, there are many who don't believe this. It is Jehovah God who is the Almighty God...the One true God. To get a full understanding, please go to main topics on the menu or simply click here to see all related posts: Jesus Christ ~ Michael also Trinity

“Who is like God”…the Almighty Jehovah?

Psalm 113:1-9 ASV — Praise ye Jehovah. Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah, Praise the name of Jehovah. Blessed be the name of Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same Jehovah’s name is to be praised. Jehovah is high above all nations, And his glory above the heavens. Who is like unto Jehovah our God, That hath his seat on high, That humbleth himself to behold The things that are in heaven and in the earth? He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill; That he may set him with princes, Even with the princes of his people.

      Strong's H1984: Praise - Shine, boast;              Strong's H3050: Jah (Jehovah in short)

                  

Revelation 19:6 ASV — And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigneth.

Strong's G239: Hallelujah - Praise Jah

Jesus Christ is never called the Almighty God, as trinitarians, you are already doing the right thing by praising Jehovah God the Father, simply by saying Hallelujah. If you haven't already started to question what you've been taught, it's okay, you will soon learn, the trinity (triune God) is not biblical, nor is it a mystery, it's based off of men's understanding of scripture. Learn for yourself without the influence of others understanding. If you have FAITH, you know God will guide you.

Faith in God

is 

Faith in His Timing

1 Corinthians 8:6 ASV — yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him. (New Birth)

Have FAITH...all will be resurrected on the last day, it's those who reject him that will be goats. Everyone's timing will different. Continue loving one another, regardless of one's belief or non-belief...heart condition, LOVE is the key.

Daniel 12:4 ASV — But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

John 6:39-40 ESV — And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Joel 1:15 ASV — Alas for the day! for the day of Jehovah is at hand, and as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.  

 

Strong's H3068: Jehovah - proper name of the one true God

Tetragrammaton - יהוה‎  

Strong's H7706: Almighty - most powerful

Strong’s H430: God – divine ones, angels, gods 

Psalm 82:1 ASV — A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; He judgeth among the gods.

Psalm 82:8 ASV — Arise, O God, judge the earth; For thou shalt inherit all the nations.

New Heaven…

Hebrews 1:4 ASV — having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.

Strong's G2816: Inherited - to receive a lot; obtain by right of inheritance; partaker.

Hebrews 1:8 ASV — but of the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Strong's G165: for ever and ever ~ Eternal

Strong's H6965: Arise - to rise, arise, stand, stand up.
Strong's H5975: Stand up - to stand, remain, endure, take one's stand.

Daniel 12:1 ASV — And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

When Jesus returns...

Matthew 24:21 ASV — for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be.

He "shall be called" this is in the future, meaning that at the time this was written he did not assume that role yet. What does "Christ" mean? The anointed one. When was he anointed? When he was baptized with Holy Spirit.

Matthew 1:16 ASV — and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

Who is called Christ at his birth, but becomes Christ at his anointing...

Acts 10:38 ASV — even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

Jehovah God "was with him", meaning he's not him, He was with him through the Jehovah's Holy Spirit... Jehovah is the One and only true God. 

Isaiah 43:11 ASV — I, even I, am Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour. 

Jehovah is the God that saves, and He sent His Son to save the Gentiles, salvation comes from Jehovah through His Son... Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ.

Let us continue further with how Jesus Christ is a Mighty God....

Please see blog post: Son of Man ~ Spirit ~ Angel... Mighty God

May Jehovah through Jesus Christ bring you…

~ Peace, Love and Joy ~

Son of Man ~ Spirit ~ Angel

The main focus for today’s topic are mentioned in the title, I will be using scriptures in Daniel, Ezekiel and Revelation, and I will also make reference on to the two cherubs of the Most Holy...the Passover Lamb.

What is an Angel?

Revelation 22:16 ASV — I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.

The bride is the angel sent to witness to the churches, the bride is not the church…

Hebrews 13:2 ASV — Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Strong’s G32:

Angel - Messenger

What is a Spirit?

Revelation 22:17 ASV — And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And he that heareth, let him say, Come. And he that is athirst, let him come: he that will, let him take the water of life freely.

Strong's G4151:

Spirit - Power of knowing A. life-giving spirit; C. an angel

(Note: C ii. - highest of angels, but not equal to God...Mighty in nature, not the Almighty)

1 Corinthians 15:45 ASV — So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

Strong's G4151:

Spirit - Life, Angel

John 3:8 ASV — The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Third Heaven…

2 Corinthians 12:1-4 ASV — I must needs glory, though it is not expedient; but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up even to the third heaven. And I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I know not; God knoweth), how that he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 

See blog post: Same Bible, Different Language ~ Part Two (Passover Lamb)

Who is the Son of Man?

Matthew 12:8 ASV — For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.

Daniel 10:1-3 ASV — In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a great warfare: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks. I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

21 days with no bread, wine or oil.

Daniel 10:4 ASV — And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,

Vision of Michael...man clothed in linen

Daniel 10:5-6 ASV — I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz: his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like unto burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

Strong’s H8658: Beryl – precious “stone” or semi-precious gem.

Jesus Christ ~ son of man...

Revelation 1:13-15 ASV — and in the midst of the candlesticks one like unto a son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle. And his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters.

In comparison with both scriptures above, the description of Michael and Jesus Christ are similar, one and the same...but, let’s continue further.

Daniel 10:7-9 ASV — And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves. So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. Yet heard I the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.

An un-named angel touches Daniel...

Daniel 10:10 -12 ASV — And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. And he said unto me, O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling. Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard: and I am come for thy words’ sake.

Look, Michael...likeness of "sons" of men (one of the chief princes - archangels)

Daniel 10:13-15 ASV — But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me: and I remained there with the kings of Persia. Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for many days. And when he had spoken unto me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb.

The Angel is called lord and touches Daniel's lips...appearance of "sons" of men...

Daniel 10:16 - 17 ASV — And, behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I retain no strength. For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither was there breath left in me.

The above verses show that there is more than one, son of man ("sons" of men).

Strong's H1121:

Son - children (male or female)

Strong's H120:

Man - mankind, human being

Genesis 1:26 ASV — And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Genesis 1:27 ASV — And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Strong's H430:

God - divine ones, angels, mighty, godlike one

The un-named angel touches Daniel again...who is like the appearance of "man" not "son of man"...

Daniel 10:18 - 20 ASV — Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me. And he said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he spake unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me. Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I go forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come.

Daniel 10:21 ASV — But I will tell thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me against these, but Michael your prince.

John 14:6 ASV — Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.

There are two angel’s referenced here, Michael: in appearance of sons of men; and the un-named angel: in appearance of a man. Michael is the only prince to hold together with the un-named angel when going forward to Greece. 

Michael is distinct in that he appears, not in the likeness of men, but as “one” of the sons of men. This also shows there’s more than “one” son of man. The un-named angel here, has the appearance of a man, not the son of man. I don’t think anyone denies that Jesus Christ is the Son of man. It's important to note that in verse 21, it is Michael who goes to the Greeks (Gentiles) none other, with the un-named angel. 

Above I shared scripture on the resemblance of Michael and Jesus Christ, in the following posts I will share scriptures that will show a how Michael resembles Jehovah God and why he is called a Mighty God.

Same Bible, Different Language ~ Part Two

I just want to remind all, that as I continue on from part one, I don't expect anyone to fully comprehend what I'm about to share, if any do, it's only because God has chosen to reveal it, through His Holy Spirit, His Son, Jesus Christ.

THE PASSOVER LAMB

Exodus 12:5-7 ASV — Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old: ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats: and ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at even. And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat it.

Exodus 29:38-39 ASV — Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually. The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:

The head of the church...

1 Corinthians 11:3 ASV — But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

The head of the corner ~ the cornerstone...

Matthew 21:42 ASV — Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; This was from the Lord, And it is marvellous in our eyes? 

If Jesus is the head of the cornerstone, who is the head (lintel), the keystone?

Exodus 12:7 ASV — And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat it.

Would that not be Jehovah?

Genesis 3:24 ASV — So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Psalm 99:1 ASV — Jehovah reigneth; let the peoples tremble: He sitteth above the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

Hebrews 1:3 ASV — who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Jesus Christ comes as the Son of man, in the clouds with his angels. After Armageddon he will sit on his throne and rule as King...resuming his anointed role as the "Christ".

Matthew 25:31 ASV — But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:

THE BOOK OF REVELATION is a PARADIGM...

it shifts from JEHOVAH to JESUS CHRIST.

(When he becomes King)

Where there is one cornerstone, their is another...the sacrificed lamb, on the left of the door post and the right of the door post. (Exodus 12:7)

Zechariah 4:14 ASV — Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

Zechariah 14:4 ASV — And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the mount of Olives shall be cleft in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

It's Jehovah who decides...

Matthew 20:23 ASV — He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to give; but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared of my Father. 

Most Holy...

Exodus 25:22 ASV — And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

There were two that sinned, a man and a woman...

Genesis 3:15 ASV — and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

John 21:15 ASV — So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

Hebrews 9:5 ASV — and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.

Revelation 11:4 ASV — These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks, standing before the Lord of the earth.

Revelation 21:22 ASV — And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof.

Who does the dragon persecute first?

2 Corinthians 12:2 ASV — I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up even to the third heaven.

Galatians 4:26 ASV — But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother.

Revelation 11:2-3 ASV — And the court which is without the temple leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been given unto the nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Revelation 12:13-16 ASV — And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man child. And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

Revelation 13:5-7 ASV — and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, even them that dwell in the heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

Psalm 69:4 ASV — They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.

Prodigal Daughter ~ The Great Awakening

As I move forward with my life, fully devoted to my Father who is in Heaven, I'm ready to share some key aspects of my life with you. I'll start from the beginning...in the end it leads to the great awakening.

Prodigal Daughter

Luke 15: 18-24

My maiden name is Maria Emilia Gomes, I was born on September 27, 1968, in Newark, NJ at St. James Hospital. In total, we were a Family of 13, I am 1 of 11 children, the 6th oldest and youngest. I was the Firstborn in the United States. My 5 older siblings were born in Portugal and my 5 younger siblings were born here in the US. I have an older brother who had passed before I was born. I have a unique feature, a birthmark, it resembles both the Letter Z and a Lightning Bolt.

Gen 2:8, 9 (trees)
Matt 5:18 (smallest letter)
Luke 23: 44 (6th hour, 9th hour) Balance
Exodus 3:14 (I will become)
Rev 22:13 (Alpha and Omega)

• The Lilies and the Weeds...Z (Reminder of the Lilies)

My parents, Jose and Idalina, came here from Portugal in 1967. Both of my parents spoke fluent Portuguese, but all 4 of my older siblings went to Wilson Ave. School in Newark and learned how to speak English pretty quickly. So, I became fluent in both, Portuguese and English, as brothers and sisters we spoke to each other in English, but to my parents we spoke in Portuguese.

Acts 4:13 (ordinary men, childlike)

By the time I was born my mother was already studying to become a Jehovah's Witness, converting from her Catholic faith, she would attend the Portuguese Kingdom Hall on Mott St. in Newark. There, is where I learned to read and write in Portuguese, from the Portuguese Bible and from some additional literature. My favorite book until this day was "My Book of Bible Stories." I remember being very little, 4 or 5 years old, I was just learning how to write. I was sitting at the Kingdom Hall next to my mom and I got so excited because I learned how to write and spell my last name "Gomes", I also have a vague memory of writing Jesus Cristo (Christ) too.

2 Tim 3:15 (infancy)
Luke 10:42 (good portion)
Luke 10:22 (reveal him to)

I remember thinking Jehovah (Jeova') was my Father and that Jesus was my brother, I truly believed they were my family. I knew them both personally, Father and Son. I remember having conversations with Jehovah in Spirit, Sacred Secrets. Even though I didn't see him, I knew he was present. I loved them both dearly, they were my family, I clearly remember that now. Although, many of my memories are still a bit of a fog, many have come back to me. In 1977 I went to Portugal for the first time, I remember being at the beach early morning and there was an intense fog, you could barely see the ocean, I remember how peaceful it felt, playing in the sand and always looking up to the heavens and smiling, a very special moment.

1 Peter 3:4 (secret of the heart)
2 Cor 6: 16-18 (son/daughter)

I was very close to my mom, some would say I was attached at the hip. I was a very happy little girl, close to my Father in Heaven. Jehovah made me smile often, he taught me to appreciate the beauty of Nature, the colors of the Rainbow, the clouds, the bugs, flowers and trees, even the large Dew drop on the leaf and the snowfall, I appreciated it all, it brought me such happiness. I often looked up at the skies and smiled, makes me want to cry every time I think about it. I missed it tremendously.

Ecc 3:15 (joy)

Much had changed since then. Having a big family was not always easy, as I got older and started school, I started to realize people thought differently than I did, I couldn't make sense of it and slowly became very disheartened, crushed in spirit. Although I loved going to school, I didn't like certain things that happened.

Psalm 34:18 (crushed in spirit)

I have a memory that has always stayed with me, going back to 1st grade at Wilson Ave. School in Newark and going to the auditorium, a boy named Q sat down next to me. We were in the front row in the first 2 seats at the end, we sat down and Q kissed me on the cheek. It was the first time I can remember being really upset as a child, I remember running to the teacher and telling her about it, and crying about it to my mother later on that day. That's just one, of many things, that started to change how I felt about life and people. It's as if I were living in a bubble and then it suddenly popped. Slowly, I started to lose my way, until I became completely lost.

Matt 18: 12-14 (lost sheep)
Luke 22:48 (Judas betrayal)
Ephesians 6:12 (Struggle with darkness)

I've since returned to Jehovah in 2019, it started with me attending the Memorial of Jesus Christ. My greatest Joy was attending the "Love Never Fails" Jehovah's Witness Convention in July at the Mohegan Sun in PA. It had very special meaning for me, especially on the last day, one that can be explained, but not understood. Going there was in great contrast to when my boys and I appeared on FOX News when attending the Trump Rally the previous year, we had VIP seats. 

Note: It amazed me that no (DOD) security check was ever made. We weren't invited to sit there; my boys and their friend saw empty seats and took it upon themselves to sit there, with no resistance we remained. As others arrived, they were made to take off their tags for VIP's. I saddened me to think we took someone else's seats, but I figured they probably received some kind of upgrade. I would have never thought that exactly one year later I would return to the Mohegan Sun to attend the convention (assembly) for JW's.   *It's all connected, see below.

• Memories ~ The Cloud

Excerpt...

"The very last day of the assembly, as we got on the highway heading home, the vision in the sky, a beautiful array of cumulus clouds was spread across the skies. As I was looking out the window admiring the skies, as I often did and still do, I suddenly started paying close attention to the clouds, they were beyond beautiful that day.

As I was looking at the clouds, one in particular suddenly stood out, I had to do a double take...I was caught in Time. My hands pressed against the car window, I had instant butterflies in my stomach, and for a moment, it actually caught my breath, Awe-Inspiring to say the least. It was a massive cloud, it looked like it went from the Heavens to the ground here on Earth. The sun rays where shining through it in an array of rainbow colors, the most beautiful and familiar feeling in the world.

"I saw it before, as a child, exactly as it was", there was no doubt in my mind.
At that very moment, I knew Jehovah was with me and reminding me."

Psalms 18:1-3 (secure refuge, rock)

• Baptism in Death ~ The Vision ~ Born Again

Since I pretty much studied the entire Bible from beginning to the end, then back to the beginning. I learned the bible does speak to us individually. The 2 books I've never forgotten as a child were the Book of Genesis and The Book of Revelation. It's a book of instruction, guidance that is unique to each of us. There's a message there for everyone. I received mine. In time, I made a decision to return to the Portuguese Kingdom Hall, the language that speaks to the heart.

Gen 3:15 - (enmity)
Rev 10: 1-3 (little scroll)
Gal 4:26 (Jerusalem above)
Rev 19:7 (Lambs wife)
Rev 21:2, 9 (Lambs wife)

The book Proverbs - Wisdom is personified as a woman. The (NWT) is the only Bible I've read thus far that doesn't reflect that.

1 Corinthians 1:24 ASV — but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Matthew 6:21 (treasure)
Proverbs 3:3-6 (loyal love)

I had a closeness with Jehovah that no words can ever explain, and it didn't need to be, it was a personal bond, it felt normal to me. I called to him in Portuguese ~ Jeova' and Pai, (Father). I would say "Jeová é o meu Pai" meaning, Jehovah is my Father. I would also say "Eu amo te Jeová e Jesus também" I love you Jehovah and Jesus too. Spoken from the heart, the language that speaks to my Spirit, Sacred Secrets. I'm so thankful to have that connection with Jehovah through Jesus Christ once again.

John 17:3 ASV — And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ.

John 17:26 ASV — and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.

1 Cor 14:2 (sacred secrets)
Matthew 5:48 (be perfect)
Luke 1:45, 49 (she believed, great deeds for me, Holy is his name)

I've always maintained that I wasn't part of this world. I couldn't fit in, I couldn't adapt, soon enough, that happy bright smile turned dim. Hence the reason for the multiple suicide attempts, starting with my early teens to adulthood. The fact that I survived the last attempt on my life amazes me, it was well over a decade ago, but for what I did to myself, I should not be here.

1 Cor 3:16 (God's temple)
Matt 10:28 (cannot kill the soul)

KEY FACTS

I have 2 tattoos, one on my lower back, looks just like a weed, never liked it and one across my lower abdomen of 2 lilies that took 6 hours.

Hosea 14:5 (Lily and Dew) - Due
Psalms 45, 60, 69, 80 Reminder of the lilies.
Matt 13:24-30, 36-43 (Weeds)

Why is 9/11 important to me?

• I worked across from the Twin Towers in NY, I left 3 years before they came down. I had friends who still worked there when it happened.
• My mom passed away on 9/11/11 and my dad passed away (14) days later, so I lost both of my parents 9/11. 
• I became barren and had an urgent hysterectomy on 9/11/20.

Two Cherubs of the Most Holy...

Heb 9:5 ASV - and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.

2Cor 12:2, 4 (14, third heaven - mind)

God has a purpose. He is a God of order. Satan will not stop Jehovah's purpose, no matter how hard he tries. God's Will, will be done. He will Sanctify His name and He will be vindicated.

Matt 6:9-13 (Model Prayer)
Prov 6:34 (jealousy makes a husband mad)

The greatest gift God could give me was Joy and that comes from Pure Love! He is my Father and I will be in his presence one day. The Beginning of the End. Full circle of life (the Ring) and Jehovah has blessed mine.

Matt 5:3, 8 (Kingdom of the Heavens) (pure in heart)
Luke 7:35 (wisdom proved righteous by all her children.)
John 3: 6 (spirit is spirit)
Matt 24: 21, 22 (great tribulation, chosen ones)

The woman first...

Revelation 12:14 ASV — And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Revelation 11:7 ASV — And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

Matthew 24:29 ASV — But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

These witnesses are known by the enemy...

Revelation 11:11-12 ASV — And after the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them that beheld them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they went up into heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

Jeremiah 33:15-16 ASV — In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name whereby she shall be called: Jehovah our righteousness.

The seed... "Her children"

Revelation 12:17 ASV — And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:

Matthew 24:31 ASV — And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Satan who controls the Antichrist that controls the False Prophet...

Ephesians 6:12 ASV — For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

MEPS: US Military (Controlled by High Powered Ones - Antichrist/Satan)

MEPS stands for Military Entrance Processing Station. Once you have gone through initial questioning phases with your recruiter and have discussed your options, your recruiter will set an appointment for you to go to the nearest MEPS.

Revelation 13:12 ASV — And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed.

MEPS: JW Organization (False Prophet/Antichrist/Satan)

(Multilanguage Electronic Publishing System)
(Formerly called Multilanguage Electronic Phototypesetting System)

Matthew 24:5 ASV — For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and shall lead many astray.

Revelation 13:11 ASV — And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

The JW Org is like a lamb, they claim to be Christ (anointed) yet, one MUST BOW DOWN and admit they are Christ before one can be accepted and be baptized.

The faithful and discreet slave is an anointed one, it's a title they bear false witness to. Not only do they give false witness to it, but they also make you bow down to them and accept it. You MUST say yes to the following question, Bow Down to them, before they allow you to be baptized. 

From their list of questions, you MUST say yes to...

QUESTIONS FOR THOSE DESIRING TO GET BAPTIZED
Part 1: Christian Beliefs

14. Do you believe that the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses is “the faithful and discreet slave” appointed by Jesus?• “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?”​—Matt. 24:45.

They persecute you for questioning them and their teachings. One must accept what they teach because they claim it's from God himself. You are told that you are not to dig deep into scripture, they give out the food. They teach you to go to Christ and God's word, but then they teach you it's their version of God's word and you MUST accept it. 

These leaders do it in a "loving/seducing" way, just like a lamb, seducing millions into following them.

Matthew 19:18 ASV — He saith unto him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

*** re chap. 12 p. 60 “Keep On Holding Fast What You Have” ***
“They Will Bow Down to You”
