Among
the prophecies of His coming is the name meaning God With Us. When a
teenager asked how the God who created the Universe could be a man,
just a man, the following was given for sharing with others on How
God The Almighty could be born a human being ... this is the
extremely short version.
In
John's Gospel, chapter 14, Jesus tells His disciples that if they
have seen Him they have seen The Father, for He is in the Father and
the Father in Him. All they could see of The Father was Jesus, God
with them.
If
you were a being who was created with only length and width spatial
variability, you could not perceive a sphere of length, width, and
height, except where that sphere was in your length x width plane. If
I want to show a sphere to these flatlanders (from the short novel,
Flatland) I would have to pass the sphere through their plane, making
a series of expanding circles then shrinking circles.remely
short version:
Here
is a sort of Physics lesson found in John 14, as Jesus responded to
Philip's request to be shown The Father so he could believe Jesus was
The Messiah:
There
are two axioms which can help with understanding, regarding anything
of the Universe, the Universe, and anything in the Universe God has
created/is creating:
axiom
1 = without time, events do not occur
axiom
2 = without space a thing does not exist
All
things in the Universe God created have some variability of space and
time, even a photon. A photon passes or 'events' inside the Universe
never going out of the present of its creation, thus it arrives at
your eye, for instance, and imparts data of the source at the moment
the photon is created, even if it takes a billion years (perceived
from our position in the temporal field) to reach your eye. The
photon remains in the present of its creation. Photons are a mix of a
pinch of space, a moment in time, and energy. Photons carry 'present
moment data'.
God
made Man to have a physical body, a behavior mechanism or soul, and a
third aspect, the spirit, into which God put His Spirit life but
which was forfeited in Adam; the human spirit remained but the life
on a spirit level was removed, and that is what God puts back into
the spirit of a believer in Jesus, a saved person.
The
soul is real, it exists in time and space, but in a different
coordinate system from the physical body, though it interfaces with
same. In the same fashion, spirit is real, having some variability of
time and space, though existing in a different coordinate system from
the soul yet interfacing with same. When one is 'born from above'
(John 3), God puts the earnest of a greater existence into the human
spirit. (That is important to comprehend if we are to see what will
happen at the Rapture.)
One
more clue: the being who wrote upon the wall in Palace Party central
(Daniel 5) exists in a spacetime coordinate system un sensible to the
partiers, so He reached 'down' into the Palace spacetime coordinate
system and wrote on the wall, while the portion not the hand writing
remained in a different spacetime coordinate system.
Well,
maybe one more: when Stephen was close to death, he looked and saw
Jesus standing at the right hand of the throne of The Father; God
allowed Stephen to have the ability to see more than the coordinate
system in which he was about to die, physically. What Stephen saw was
real, had real space and time variability, but was un sensible to
those who would be throwing rocks.
