God, the Lord, LORD, JESUS, the ECHAD,
Isaiah 48:16 "Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me."
the scripture above ... it is a classic example of God's plurality as the "ANOTHER" of HIMSELF in Flesh at was to come from the OT scriptures, the Tanak, which confirm the Greek term G243 Allos, "ANOTHER". well lets examine another scripture, YES, from the Tanak, the OT scriptures,
Zech 13:7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
here God has declared himself to come in a flesh body. and here's the revelation, the word "FELLOW". using the Mickelson's Enhanced Strong's Dictionaries of the Greek and Hebrew Testaments, Fellow here in the Hebrew can be translated as the word, "ANOTHER", just as the Greek describ it in the NT, lets see it.
FELLOW: H5997 עָמִית `amiyth (aw-meeth') n-m.
1. companionship.
2. (hence, concretely) a comrade or kindred man.
[from a primitive root meaning to associate]
KJV: another, fellow, neighbour.
BINGO, there is the Word, "ANOTHER", as Fellow can be translated as. understand, this man who is JESUS, (see Matthews 26:31, the fulfillment of this), is God in Flesh....... hello. and the second definition states, or confirm this FACT. for it stated this man is "concretely a comrade or kindred man.". lets break this down,
concretely? the spirit, God, invisable, NOW SEEN, (in the MANIFESTED flesh and blood). meaning the ORDINAL LAST, as redeemer and saviour, for this is the "kindred man", or KINSman REDEEMER, supportive scripture, Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
this term, "OFFSPRING" is this kindred man of Zech 13:7 , lets see it,
Offspring: G1085 γένος genos (ǰe'-nos) n.
kin.
{abstract or concrete, literal or figurative, individual or collective}
[from G1096]
KJV: born, country(-man), diversity, generation, kind(-red), nation, offspring, stock
Root(s): G1096
THERE it is...... "KIN", as in Zech 13:7 the kindred man. YES JESUS is the "ROOT", the Ordinal FIRST, and the Offspring, the Ordinal LAST, the KINSman "REDEEMER" who saves the world. God who came in flesh, (per Isaiah 35:4)
Oh how easy it is when one is LEAD and is taught by God, the HOLY SPIRIT, JESUS himself.
the NT scriptures, and the OT scriptures Homorizie, saying the SAME THING.
and it's ONLY the IGNORANT who cannot believe.
so the NT scriptures confirms the OT scriuptures, or REVEAL what they didn't KNOW nor UNDERSTOOD in the, and UNDER the OLD...... OLD ..... VERY OLD... (smile), Covenant, that has passed away.
