“Making the Messiah from a Human”

The LORD says to my Lord:

"Sit at my right hand,

until I make your enemies your footstool."

[LORD] sends forth from Zion

your mighty scepter.

Rule in the midst of your enemies!

Your people will offer themselves freely

on the day of your power,

in holy garments;

from the womb of the morning,

the dew of your youth will be yours.

The [LORD] has sworn

and will not change His mind,

"You are a priest forever

after the order of Melchizedek."

The Lord is at your right hand;

He will shatter kings on the day of His wrath.

He will execute judgment among the nations

filling them with corpses;

He will shatter chiefs

over the wide earth.

He will drink from the brook by the way;

therefore He will lift up His head.

(Ps 110:1–7 indented lines are spiritual portions of couplets)

This opening citation was the scripture which Jesus had used to confound the Pharisee’s who were trying to trick Him. What is the significance of what Jesus was trying to illustrate when He said, “‘What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?’”

He said to them, "How is it then that David, in spirit, calls him Lord, saying, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet’? If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?" And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions. (Matt 22:43–46)

The trap that the Pharisee’s were attempting to set for Jesus was in that they believed they really knew and understood scripture and thought the Messiah would come as a great warrior to free them from the rule of the nations. He will, but not before He restores a few things. They knew His father (Joseph), his mother, His brothers and sisters, which means they knew where He came from, and if He was the messiah, then surely He would have descended from David, for they were poor readers of scripture, which was the reason for their division…not knowing if Christ was the son of David or not, (see John 7:41-43). Even Paul would make this claim, but Christ made it clear to all who come after Him “if David calls him Lord, how can he be his son?” They didn’t understand that Isaiah had declared that the promised seed would be “a shoot from the stump that was Jessie, a branch from his roots that shall bear fruit”, not from the tree that grew from Jessie. If this tree would have remained growing, David would be a branch from the trunk that was Jessie. The image here is that the tree was cut down, in which a shoot grows from the stump which isn’t the tree it had grown to be from its roots. It was chopped down. Why is this significant?

Seed germination occurs in darkness. A seed when placed into the depths of soil (where there is no light) “drinks” water through a process called imbibition which causes enzymes to become hydrated which produces energy for the growth process, enabling roots to emerge from the shell. If a tree is cut down, for whatever reason, it would take time for a new seed to be planted and for it to establish its root system which would take up to a couple of years with pruning of the fruit being necessary to allow for the nutrition to help further the growth of the root system, unlike a shoot which would grow rapidly from the roots already established within the fertile soil of the remaining stump providing for a more reliable propagation. Jesus tells John in Revelation that He is indeed the Root of David, and for an explanation visit this page.

There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,

and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.

And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,

the spirit of wisdom and understanding

the spirit of counsel and might,

the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

And His delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.

He shall not judge by what His eyes see,

or decide disputes by what His ears hear,

but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,

and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;

and He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,

and with the breath of His lips He shall kill the wicked.

Righteousness shall be the belt of His waist,

And faithfulness the belt of His loins. (Isa 11:1–5)

Every single man…who has ever been physically born has come into this world from a seed being planted within a woman…the womb of a woman, with the womb of a woman functioning as fertile soil where the seed of a man is planted in darkness. Even Jesus. Every living human being that has ever tried to be honest with themselves about human populations will not ask themselves about how the third human being was created…that’s a given. All do know that a third human comes in the likeness of his parents, from the two, male and female, that came together to produce this first “third” human being which results in another in the likeness of the ones who produced this third life-being. The ultimate question is how the second human being came into existence, appropriately designed and fully equipped to be able to have the seed of the first human to be reproduced in another human from within its (her) womb. What should be easily determined is how this “third” person came into existence, and that is from the womb of a woman.

Jesus was born as every single other human was. He was born from…He had emerged from the womb of a woman. It’s just that He was the only one ever not to have the first man Adam as His father. He was not the seed of the first Adam. He was a human being in every way that we are human, and was for the majority of His whole life. He was only the Son of God for the last 3 ½ years of His physical life when He was baptized and received the Holy Spirit, a second breath of life. Besides what Mary and Joseph would have told Jesus about His specialness, Jesus would have to discover who He once was (as the Word) on His own. We can speculate that His mother Mary would have told him about what the angel Gabriel told her, about Joseph not being his biological father but that he was miraculously conceived within her womb, but we can be assured that he would learn who he was from his temptations, for that is recorded.

After having a lengthy conversation with a very wise man, it would be brought to my attention that Jesus would be the only human to have chosen his human parents while in the form of the Word of God. In choosing His parents, this would also determine His living conditions, would determine His skills and His trades that he would acquire that would be necessary to build a house for God. He, as the WORD, would place Himself into a situation where His foster dad, who had carpenter skills, would teach this firstborn son the fundamentals of the trade in building houses, special procedures that only come from actual hands on experience, tactics that come with making mistakes and learning how not to repeat it (physically speaking about how humans learn and develop building skills). Anyone with a physical skill set knows that this skill evolves with the fundamentals of the trade, the fundamentals being the foundation to build on. The writer of Hebrews says that He had to become like us so that He could make propitiations for sins, and through His suffering He understands our suffering. No one will have an excuse in the Day of Judgment. During His teenage years while He was searching for Himself, at what point did He realize that while He was once in the form of the Word who was interacting with Israel on Moses’ behalf, did He think about and remember how He wanted to destroy Israel out in the wilderness…and as the Word He would have if Moses wouldn’t have spoken up for the physical nation. Did He, through listening to Moses’ reasoning, understand that He needed to come in human form to understand what Moses was dealing with in this physical nation? We can be sure that He did know, but He was not to leave an outing for the Adversary in his, Satan’s, dealings with humans when humanity is turned over to Christ during the Endurance because the Adversary could not rule over crazy, rebellious humans prior to when the kingdom is transferred. A being with a second breath of life knows this, for each who has this second breath will have seen when they would have spoken themselves into existence, if not realizing now, you will.

With Jesus now being in human form, He would realize that He didn’t have the power that He formerly had as the Word, and He was now very limited in what He could do in dealing with a situation that He’d been placed in, along with dealing with temptation, which would explain why He would have those long discussions…the “all-nighters” as my friend explained to me, being in prayer with the Father asking for help in dealing with the circumstances He found Himself in. Without a doubt, He would learn patience.

Imagine that if those with a second breath of life had no patience…they could today pronounce fire to come down from heaven to strike down lying politicians who promise benefits to be distributed but those politicians finding themselves unable to deliver on their promises because of a fear of losing that position to which they are the benefactors from those who control them…would that power to call down fire from heaven be used justly? No, that would be vengeful, and at this time disciples today born out of season find themselves learning patience just as Jesus had to. We would still be in the situations similar to that of lying politicians if not for being called by God. Prudence through patience will determine about how to exercise that righteous power, or to better phrase it…the power of righteousness.

YAH as the Word was ready to destroy Israel in the wilderness. If, as a human, He was placed in a similar situation, would He use the power to blot out a nation if He still had the ability to carry it out? He probably realized this compassion in His weakness before He became the Christ, because He told Peter that He could call down a legion of angels to keep Judas and his posse from taking Him. We should now be seeing that we will endure what He has endured, and not be too critical of others who are not yet called, and presently remain as we once were.

If Jesus was born as an infant divine meaning an infant deity with whom humans should worship, then He couldn’t, theologically, be tempted as every other humans are tempted and could not overcome the Adversary as humans can if He was born a deity…this statement destroying the tradition of Christmas which has an infant to be worshiped. He had to become “fully human” and not remain God. He MUST be able to die, and God cannot die. Men do. Humans are not God, and in any form (infant or adult) should not be worshipped, even as a child in a manger. He would become the Son of the Father when the Heavens were opened to Him, and this came following His baptism. Before this, He was fully human meaning that He had no spiritual life and if He was killed before receiving a second breath, humanity would be without a redeemer. If He entered His creation as a deity, Satan would have an easy out during this demonstration saying “well, of course He could keep the commandments, He’s God after all” destroying God’s notion that even a human can overcome rebellion which comes from one being under the authority of another. If He would have remained fully God and fully human, then He would still be higher than the angels and would not be like man. Lucifer’s rebellion was in that he did not want to remain under the authority of a higher angel; he was not created as an archangel. He said himself in himself disclosing his rebellion, which occurred inwardly, that he “will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High” Isaiah 14:14.

About his humanness Homer said:

“For thirty years the man Jesus could, indeed [for he was without sin], be holy without being divine; without being God. And for most of these thirty years, Jesus would have wondered if He would receive back the heavenly life He had given-up when He entered His creation, assuming He knew that He was the unique Son of the God of Abraham, the God of living ones … I cannot stress this point too strongly: the man Jesus was not a divine but was a man, albeit “holy” as the nation of Israel was to be holy (“‘You shall therefore be holy, for I [the Lord] am holy’” — Lev 11:45).

Most likely Mary would have told Jesus what she knew about His uniqueness, but the language she would have used would have lacked exactness. The age in which she lived didn’t understand conception as it is understood at the end of this present era.” From http://homerkizer.org/09-08-16C.html

And:

“As a model or type of disciples having dead inner selves prior to being born of God, Moses better serves as the pattern; for Moses was born as a slave but reared as a free man. Paul writes that Jesus took upon Himself the form of a slave, being born in the likeness of men (again Phil 2:7) … men [i.e., all of humankind] are born as slaves of the Adversary, consigned to disobedience (Rom 11:32), as Hebrews in Egypt were born into slavery after Pharaoh Ahmose I completed the conquest and expulsion of the Hyksos.

But as Moses was placed in a reed ark [a paper ark of the covenant], disciples who are of Moses escape slavery [disobedience] by believing the writings of Moses and hearing and believing the voice of Jesus. Therefore, in terms of analogy, Jesus’ absence from Judea from sometime after He was twelve years old until He was about thirty years old forms the shadow and type [left hand enantiomer] of Moses’ forty years in the wilderness of Midian, with the three and a half years of Jesus’ earthly ministry forming the shadow and type of Moses returning to Egypt to bring His people out from slavery, with Jesus’ disciples functioning for Him as Aaron functioned for Moses.”

In human form, we are slaves, and for Christ to become fully human was to take on the form of a slave (Phil 2:7). He became fully human to be a true slave to death. In becoming fully human, He could now die, the fate of all humans. Now, virtually nothing is recorded about the boyhood life of Jesus; what is recorded in scripture about the life of Jesus is when He took on the sins of Israel. “Light” casts no shadow; it’s the object which is not light that blocks the light which causes or casts a shadow, and when that light is God, it is sin that blocks the light, the light being the glory of God. A quick aspect about slavery, and especially one that we’re seeing now, is that slavery is the most detested thing in this world, no one wants another to “own” them. Slavery is the most hated thing in this world. A slave has an owner. A slave can't come and go as he wants. Slaves are sold, with or without their permission. A slave has to be purchased to be owned. Money (medium of exchange) has to be used to buy a slave...by the owner in order to be an owner of someone else. The life of the slave is conditioned upon the owner, and the owner is solely responsible for the life conditions of the slave. Humanity in fleshy form is that slave in that they are owned by a spiritual ruler who is not God, for he deceives the whole world (Rev 12:9). They have to be purchased, and this includes their freedom if they are redeemed, which still will have them under an owner if they are purchased from slavery. Entrance into heaven is to be purchased from spiritual slavery and the medium of exchange used is by the life of a firstborn. If you spill the blood of a person, his life will leave his body, therefore the blood represents the life of a person to which all blood shed will have an accounting. Christ has already qualified, what about His Bride?

One of the most beautiful and important facts about a “woman” or her position is that spiritually within her womb, the Christ child comes forth and so will His brothers. It should be celebrated to high heavens...the creation of the woman and her role as lifegiver. This purchasing of the woman (brides used to be bought or payed for...a bride’s price) is soon to be made. Christ paid the death penalty for the Elect; today, they have life. The Bride’s price remains in debt, for today she has no spiritual life. Brides were purchased in Semitic culture as seen in the following passages of scripture, such as Jacob serving his father in law for 7 years to buy his wife (Gen 22:18; Exodus 22:16-17; Deut. 22:28-29; Hosea 3:2 etc.) The Bride of Christ is purchased from Death by another giving of firstborns, through already having the promise of the resurrection, for what is dead cannot remain dead if resurrected, and if death has no power over this one who was purchased from its owner, then death has no power over you who have been purchased. The death of the flesh pays for the sins done while in the flesh, but the second breath is purchased from a second death, and a ransom MUST be paid for in order to receive this life.

And here in this world it is sons of light (John 12:36) that defeat the powers of darkness in the forming of spiritual Sons of the Father and they defeat darkness by keeping the commandments when they are not obliged to do so, thus casting no shadow of themselves seen in the world (2 Cor. 4:17-18). There will not be much about the physical life of Jesus recorded in scripture until He takes upon the sin (which blocks the light) of Israel, and when He does this, His walk of life is now recorded in scripture. Christianity is not about the child in a manger celebrated at Christmas time in which He needs to be put back into by putting “Christ” back in Christmas. He was never there to begin with.

Christianity is about the root-shoot from the stump of Jessie (Isaiah 11:1), the glorified Christ which is not some innocent looking child in a manger, but is quite scary from the lenses of prophecy:

Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around His chest. The hairs of His head were white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, His feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters. In His right hand he held seven stars, from His mouth came a sharp two-edged [double lipped] sword, and His face was like the sun shining in full strength. (Rev 1:12–16)

With all of the lawlessness that entered into the first century church that the disciples had to contend with, Christ never came back once to straighten out any error’s or false teachings. All He had to do was overturn the Adversary’s rule over humanity unto His own, and that He did by becoming fully human to live under the Adversary’s rule over humans and simply reject that rule by His obedience, that is in keeping the commandments of God. This was done quietly, no shots fired, no sirens marking this occasion. All He did was simply do what he, Lucifer, had done to God, and that was simply to reject the authority which he was placed under. And how is this significant? We will see in this world what happens when people are in rebellion to a ruler when that ruler sets himself up to rule instead of lead in the form of the man of perdition. The stage is now being set.

What Jesus had done was in searching out what was concealed within humanity or in the potential of human servants; a time would come when they would become a vessel (position of the female) to contain within themselves an inner life, a spiritual life. A vessel which now contains two breaths just as YHWH had in creating humans after His likeness. This happened to Christ at baptism.

In the Pharisees (temple experts) looking for the Messiah to free them from the rule of Roman authorities, they looked for the time when they would be physically redeemed from physical authorities, and they looked for the Messiah to be the son of David, and they questioned Christ with “we know his father, his mother and brothers…” questioning His anointing when He said that He and the Father were “one” making Himself a God. They knew what the scriptures said regarding the prophecies of the messiah (Isaiah 42:1; 61:1-3; Psalm 16, 22, Daniel 9, etc.) that promised God would send a deliverer to save His people. They did not know how this would be done. They read how He would overcome the enemies of Israel but did not grasp that the enemies are spiritual in that they block God’s light with their unbelief. Again, they thought He would redeem them from Roman rule, in which they would become the rulers, not the ruled. They didn’t grasp that His kingdom would be spiritual, not political.

In trying to trap Jesus, He turned their plot into a snare which entrapped them, when He questioned them with:

While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?"

"The son of David," they replied.

He said to them, "How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him 'Lord'? For he says, "'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet."' If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?" No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions. (Matt. 22:43-46)

The trap is that the Messiah will be a shoot from the stump of Jessie…a chopped down tree in which David cannot branch forth. The roots remain underground, in darkness…they were already planted so the kingly line doesn’t have to be replanted implying that the physical line is cut down while sons of light (in the spiritual realm) are formed in darkness (of the physical world) of a womb. The rebellion of Israel occurred during the days of Jessie, when Israel told the LORD that they wanted a human king to rule over them so they could be like the other nations. With the roots of the stump that is Jessie being underground, the Messiah comes from the shoot which extends from the roots of the stump which precedes the rebellion of Israel to want a human to rule over them as king, the rule of this kingdom being from the second half of the 1260 day portion in the Endurance leading up to the Millennial reign. The Messiah will not be a descendant of David, but will be the Root of David, and this is important in that the king of Israel represents the temple and Israel, and stands before the Most High as “one” man.

In His answer to King Solomon’s dedication prayer for the temple, the Lord said,

I have heard your prayer and your plea, which you have made before me. I have consecrated this house that you have built by putting my name there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time. And as for you, if you walk before me, as David your father walked, with integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you, and keeping my statutes and my rules, then I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, “You shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.” But if you turn aside from following me, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes that I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, and the house that I have consecrated for my name I will cast out of my sight, and Israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples. And this house will become a heap of ruins. Everyone passing by it will be astonished, and will hiss, and they will say, “Why has the Lord done this to this land and to this house?” Then they will say, “Because they abandoned the Lord their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore the Lord has brought all this disaster on them.” (1 Kings 9:3-9 emphasis added)

The king represents both the temple and the people, and with Solomon not keeping the commandments, the physical temple was destroyed, which had the Pharisees of Jesus’ day looking for a redeemer from physical rule, and if they were better readers of scripture, they would have caught where it’s recorded that the Messiah would come as a man…but His rule would come later after the kingdom is transferred.

[YHWH] says to my Lord [Adoni]:

"Sit at my right hand,

until I make your enemies your footstool."

[YHWH] sends forth from Zion

your mighty scepter.

Rule in the midst of your enemies!

Your people will offer themselves freely

on the day of your power,

in holy garments;

from the womb of the morning,

the dew of your youth will be yours.

[YHWH] has sworn

and will not change His mind,

"You are a priest forever

after the order of Melchizedek."

The Lord [Adonai] is at your right hand;

He will shatter kings on the day of His wrath.

He will execute judgment among the nations

filling them with corpses;

He will shatter chiefs [the head]

over the wide earth.

He will drink from the brook by the way;

therefore He will lift up His head.

(Ps 110:1–7 indented lines are spiritual portions of couplets)

Homer Kizer 8/8/14 “Note the shift between <Adoni> in verse one and <Adonai> in verse five, with Adonai only used for deity, but Adoni used for any Lord, a shift that isn’t obvious in the partially alphabetized inscribed text—a shift that only exists in utterance, or the vocalization of inscription that is without any vocalization.

Also note the clause <on the day of His wrath>, with this day being again mentioned in Revelation 6:17, when kings [and the low] will hide in caves and among the rocks of the mountains (v. 15). So in this psalm of King David, the referent for Adoni and for Adonai are related-to but not identical-to the man Jesus who is not the Messiah before He is resurrected from death, but will become [became] the Messiah following Resurrection. Same man. Same deity. With Jesus the man being in the form of a servant whereas the glorified Christ has had the glory He had before the creation of the universe returned to Him. Jesus the man is framed through being the unique Son of the Logos who was God and who was with the God, and through being the First of the firstborn sons of the God, God the Father.”

He, the Christ as the Messiah, allowed lawless teachers into the church, He let the lies flourish while He simply did quietly what He had to do to take the anointing of the firstborn of Israel unto Himself to qualify Himself to be the redeeming sacrifice that is required in the Passover covenant to purchase or redeem Israel which is represented by a Spiritual King of kings, and Lord of lords, and this the WORD knew by choosing the physical parents with the developed skillset they possessed when He could come down as a man and become a slave… YAH placed Himself to be raised under the care of a carpenter who taught Him the fundamentals of house building, with a house consisting of "rooms" in which people dwell. After all, where do we think He is now while humans are squandering around fighting their fleshly passions which troubles our hearts while we await His return to bring us back to Him? He already answered that (John 14:1-3).

In Isaiah chapter 11, verses 1 through 10 tell of how the Messiah comes through the roots of the stump of Jessie, not from the tree. The very next verse explains how the Bride is paid for when she receives her promise of resurrection through receiving her second breath. The ransom note will have been paid by yet another slaying of firstborns, who should have consecrated themselves to the LORD.

In that day the LORD will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea. (Isaiah 11:11).

Amen.
