The Word of God is God himself personified, which was to Come. scripture, Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Genesis 1:2 "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Genesis 1:3 "
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
the term LIGHT here in verse 3 is "WISDOM". for it is the Hebrew word, H216 אוֹר 'owr (ore) n-f.
1. illumination.
2. (concretely) luminary (in every sense, including lightning,
happiness, etc.).
[from H215]
KJV: bright, clear, + day, light (-ning), morning, sun.
Root(s): H215
My source for this definition is the Mickelson's Enhanced Strong's Dictionaries of the Greek and Hebrew Testaments.
Now, let's break down the "LIGHT".
#1. notice definition #1
,illumination and not luminous.
illumination is to be enlighten, meaning to Know and Understand. Proverbs 2:6 "For the LORD giveth wisdom:
out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding."
now let's see this WISDOM in scriptures personified. notice definition #2.
(concretely) and
happiness.
Happiness: scripture, LISTEN CLOSLEY. Proverbs 8:22 "The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old." Proverbs 8:23 "I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was." Proverbs 8:24 "When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water." Proverbs 8:25 "Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:" Proverbs 8:26 "While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world." Proverbs 8:27 "When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:" Proverbs 8:28 "When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:" Proverbs 8:29 "When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:" Proverbs 8:30 "
Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;" Proverbs 8:31 "
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and
my delights were with the sons of men."
Notice those words in blue,
delight, rejoicing another word for them is
happiness and did you see how it was personified, by using the pronouns ME, and I. again the definition of Light,
H216 אוֹר 'owr (ore) n-f.
1. illumination.
2. (concretely) luminary (in every sense, including lightning,
happiness, etc.).
[from H215]
KJV: bright, clear, + day, light (-ning), morning, sun.
Root(s): H215
concretely: meaning made Flesh, John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:2 "The same was in the beginning with God." John 1:3 "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."
...... now verse 14. John 1:14 "
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
2 Corinthians 4:6 "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,
hath shined in our hearts, to give
the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
Colossians 1:16 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:"
was that enough .... by scriptures to show that the Word of God .... is God?
