LIFT UP JESUS ONLY AND JESUS WILL LIFT YOU UP Lift Up Jesus Only From His Point Of View About Everything HIS
Father and Jesus are One His Decision to "Empty"
himself of Deity His Circumcision (Blood At-one-ment / Blood Reconciliation / Blood Indissoluble Union)
His Statement - "Tetelestai - It Is Finished" His Death Lift Up Jesus ONLY And Jesus Will Lift You Up Today And At The Resurrection The Point of
View of Peter "Lord, save me" - Matthew
14: 25-32 After "... seeing the wind, he became afraid, and beginning
to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me!" After Peter "became afraid"
he had NO doubt that Jesus was not only able to save him but Jesus would save him (from death by drowning). Peter
lifted up Jesus ... and Jesus lifted up Peter. The Point of
View of Jesus Proclaim HIS
point of view about HIS death, HIS resurrection, HIS return and our resurrection. "... for this purpose I
came ..." - John 12: 27, 32, 33; 14:2, 3 "Now
my soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, 'Father,
save me from this hour?' But
for this purpose I came to this hour." "
'And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.' John 14:3 "... for I go to
prepare a place for you ... I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I
am, there you may be also." Jesus
went somewhere To
prepare a place For
his friends Jesus
will return To
earth One
time To
receive his friends Jesus
will forever be somewhere With
his friends Until Jesus returns
to receive us to himself, we are not with him… while we are dead (… while dead we are not
alive).

All The World With Purpose And Meaning Said about Jesus: "... 'I will utter things hidden since the foundation
of the world.' " - Matthew 13:35 Jesus said before his death and resurrection: " 'Now judgment is upon this world... " 'And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all
men to Myself.' "...to indicate the kind of death by which he was to die." -
John 12:31-33 "... for I go to prepare a place for you ... I will come
again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also."
- John 14:3 The Angels said after the death and resurrection of Jesus: "… Why do you seek the living among the dead? He
is not here, but He has risen "… Remember …. … be crucified, and the third
day rise again" - Luke 24:5, 6, 7 "... He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud
received Him out of their sight. "... two men in white clothing ... said '... why do you stand looking
into the sky? " 'This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven,
will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.' " - Acts 1: 9-11 Jesus said after his death and resurrection: "... all authority has been given to me ... GO
… "... (1) disciple all the nations ... (2) baptize them [then] ... (3) teach them ... I am with you always until
the end of the age." - Mt. 28: 18-20. "…Peace be with you: as the Father has sent me, I also send you" - John 20:21 In our own way, as the Holy Spirit leads us, each of us must do what
Jesus said to do: "... Go into all the world
and proclaim the [he is risen from death] good news to all the creation." - Mk. 16:1 These words of Jesus… after death... after
burial... after resurrection… express the WILL of God until the end of the age. Purpose and Meaning of the Mercy Seat on the Ark of the Covenant The Mercy
Seat And The Cross Of Jesus His blood was spilled / sprinkled He said "it is finished" He put his spirit (life) in his Father's hands (control) He breathed his last His death sealed his "purpose" for "this hour" His burial revealed death was final His resurrection revealed justification by his sprinkled blood while humanity was still dead in sin (blood at-one-ment / blood reconciliation
/ indissoluble blood union) Yahowah was in His Messiah in whom He was atoning / reconciling / indissolubly
uniting His creation with Himself. His death was announced when the veil into the most holy place was
torn from the top down by the unseen angel. Angels (messengers) have had several announcements about Jesus: The birth of Jesus:
his purpose and future
accomplishment was announced by messengers to the shepherds The death of Jesus:
announced first to the
children of Israel when the heavy veil into the most holy place was torn from top to bottom by an invisible messenger The resurrection
of Jesus: “he is risen”
was the only testimony given by the messengers to the women at the tomb The return of Jesus:
mentioned by messengers
to the disciples from Galilee who saw Jesus ascend to heaven in the cloud On what basis can we, 2000
years later, be 100% absolutely sure that the "men" who gave the “he
is risen” good news to the women at the empty tomb were really heaven’s messengers? Well, who else but messengers
from heaven who were also eye witnesses would know anything about the purpose and meaning of Jesus’ birth, death, resurrection
and return? Consider this eyewitness
testimony by the messengers to the women at the tomb: Luke 24:4-6: Two men in dazzling apparel
(messengers) ask the women why they were looking for the living [one] among the dead [ones], since Jesus had already risen and was no longer in the tomb. "... why do you seek the living
one among the dead? He is not here, but he has risen. Remember ... he spoke to you ... the third day rise again." Matthew 28:2-7: After a severe earthquake, a messenger from heaven whose appearance
was like lightning and with a garment white as snow removed the stone; the messenger scared the guards at the tomb
so much that they shook with fear and fell down as dead men. However, the women disciples were not frightentened by the messengers
a few hours later because the messengers presented themselves as friends of the women. "...
I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for
he has risen, just
as he said ... go ... tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead." If not heavenly messengers, who else would know that Jesus had
risen from death, he was not inside the tomb, where he had gone? * The frightened tomb guards who fell as dead men could not
witness the resurrection of Jesus inside the tomb after the heavy stone was removed. * The guards also could not witness Jesus walk
out of the tomb after the stone was moved because they were still unconscious after they fell as dead men. * Messengers from heaven
were the first and only eyewitnesses to the resurrection of Jesus. * First, the messenters proclaimed
the "he is risen" good news to the women disciples of Jesus. * Second, the women
disciples of Jesus proclaimed the "he is risen" good news to the men disciples of Jesus. * Third, all of the disciples
of Jesus proclaimed to the whole world the same "he is risen" good news. * The men would not lie and die for a rumor they
heard only one time from the women, would they? * The women would not lie to the men and die
for a rumor they heard from the angels, would they? * The angels sent by God would not lie about what
they had seen first hand, would they? In the bible, testimony by two or more respected eyewitnesses
is very credible. Because the tomb was empty, the verbal testimony by the eyewitness
messengers, the "two men in dazzling apparel", was accepted as credible by the women disciples of Jesus and eventually
by the men disciples of Jesus. If not loyal messengers sent from heaven, who else could speak with
eyewitness authority about something that no human could possibly witness inside a sealed
tomb after the stone was moved to expose Jesus, since the only church and state authorized human witnesses were
so frightened they fell as dead men? The Raising
of Lazarus and the Raising of Jesus The stone at the entrance to the tomb of Lazarus was moved first by people present, then Lazarus
was resurrected and then he walked out. The stone at the entrance to the tomb of Jesus was moved first by heaven’s messengers who announced themselves to the Roman gurads, then Jesus was resurrected and then he walked out. Only messengers sent from heaven were present to witness 1st the stone
moved to expose Jesus inside the tomb,
2nd the resurrection of Jesus after the stone was moved,
and 3rd to see Jesus walk out. If the eyewitness messengers sent from heaven had not seen Jesus walk out of the
tomb after his resurrection inside the open tomb, would these faithful and loyal and trust worthy messengers of God have
said so? Would they? Well... would they? He Lives I serve a risen Savior, Whatever men may say. Along life's narrow way. He lives? [the angel said so !!!, and…] Within my heart! (Alfred
H. Ackley - Copyright 1961 by The Rodeheaver Company) Veil Removed / Indissoluble Union The inside veil that separated the holy place from the most holy place
was made of heavy material. The two places were united as one when the veil was torn
from top to bottom by the unseen messenger, never to be separated again because the atonement (blood at-one-ment / blood
reconciliation / blood union) was finished. The tearing of the veil that separated the holy place from the most
holy place signified *The death of Jesus. *The judgment blood (blood at-one-ment / blood reconciliation
/ blood union) was sprinkled. *The indissoluble "blood union" was sealed
by death and "finished"... forever. It is an indissoluble blood union ... it
will never be dissolved ... it can not be challenged ... it can not be undone...
it can not be repeated... ever. Emmanuel, "God with us" in the "indissoluble
blood union", is the eternal blessing that is the result of the fulfillment on the cross of the *one of a kind *only once *within the veil *most holy place activity *of sprinkling *the atonement blood (blood at-one-ment / blood reconciliation /
blood union) *on the lid *of the mercy seat *only by the high priest "God with us" in the "indissoluble blood union"
is the eternal blessing that could only be revealed after the resurrection of Jesus. The resurrection of Jesus could only happen after God's justice
and judgment and mercy on our world was accomplished and applied on the cross by the blood
atonement (blood at-one-ment / blood reconciliation / blood union) and death of Jesus. See John 12:31-33: " 'Now judgment
is upon this world ... “if I be lifted
up from the earth ... ' Exodus 25:22 "And there I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about all that I will give you in commandment for the sons of Israel." Leviticus 16:2 "... Yahowah said to Moses, ... 'inside the veil ... I will appear in the cloud over the mercy seat.' " Fulfillment
of the Once Per Year "Day of Blood Atonement" on the Mercy Seat of the Cross (Blood At-One-Ment / Blood Reconciliation
/ Blood Union) The physical and visible (to us) assurance of the finality of
the not visible (to us) eternal blessing was the physical and visible (to us) resurrection of the physical body
of Jesus from not visible (to us) death to not visible (to us) life. That which is physical and visible (to us) helps us to "see"
that which is not physical and not visible (to us). Not visible (to us) life is in the visible (to us) blood
and blood is in the visible (to us) body. Blood: life (not visible to us)
is "seen" in the blood (visible to us) Body: death (not visible to us) is "seen" in the body that is physical
on the cross (visible to us) Burial: spirit/soul (not visible to us) is "seen" in the body that is
physical in the tomb (visible to us) As in life, so also in
death... A union, not a fusion A distinction, not a separation A union of the not visible (to us) spirit/soul and the visible (to us) body A union is not a fusion of the two into one. The not visible (to us) and the visible (to us) are united, not fused.
A distinction between the not visible (to us) spirit/soul and
the visible (to us) body A distinction is not a separation of the not visible
(to us) spirit/soul and the visible (to us) body. The two remain distinct in the one union. The not visible (to us) spirit/soul and the visible (to us) body are
united while alive and they are not in any way separated while the visible (to us)
body is dead and buried. Before the visible (to us) resurrection of Jesus revealed the
not visible (to us) indissoluble union, the visible (to us) blood, body and burial of Jesus revealed
the not visible (to us) death of that which is not physical and also of that which is physical. After his resurrection Jesus ascended to and entered the most holy
place of heaven itself at the right hand of the Father who sent him, where the most holy place communion
continues... after the fulfillment on the cross of the sprinkling of the
atonement blood (blood at-one-ment / blood reconciliation / blood union) on the mercy seat of the cross.
And, just as the people on the day of blood atonement / blood
reconciliation / blood union waited eagerly for the high priest to leave the most holy place in the tent of
meeting and return to the people, we wait while our High Priest fulfills the most holy place communion time
with God on behalf of the people. We wait for him to leave heaven and return to us to receive
us to himself so that where he is we may be also. The most holy place activity of the high priest on the day
of blood atonement / blood reconciliation / blood union, with its fulfillment by Jesus on the mercy seat of the
cross, is a guiding light until the resurrection morning wake up call when Jesus awakens from the sleep
of death all of his "friends," the redeemed from all ages past... present... future.
Only the dead friends of Jesus of all the ages who have accepted HIS
point of view about HIS "blood atonement / blood reconciliation / blood union" will be
awakened at the same time to rise at the same time from the dust of the earth with resurrected
bodies to meet Jesus in his own resurrected body. We will see him as he is because we will be as he is. Lift Up Jesus Only today and "proclaim
the excellence of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" and
Jesus Will Lift YOU Up tomorrow with all of his friends (saints) from all the ages, and we will be together
forever - into the age. Maranatha Jesus: The Only Most Holy Place Mercy Seat / Propitiation A Short Word Study A Hebrew Word: Only Jesus is our "Mercy Seat" Strong’s

New Testament Mercyseat / Propitiation The Ark of the Covenant Mercy Seat is the Heart of the Most Holy Place ONLY Jesus
is the Old Testament Hebrew "Mercy Seat" Putting "mercy seat" together with "propitiation" we
see that only Jesus is: *the mercy seat *the lid on top of the ark of the covenant *the only place on earth where the attention of God was focused *when atonement by the sprinkling of blood only once Rom.
4:25 Jesus "was delivered up for [because of] our transgressions [for = because of ... because we have already sinned, not so that we might sin sometime in the future] and was raised for [because of] our justification
[for = because of ... because we have already been justified by the atonement (at-one-ment / reconciliation
/ indissoluble union) blood of Jesus, not so that we might be justified by the blood of Jesus in the future sometime... maybe...
if... perfection is reached]." Rom. 5:1, 8, 9 "Therefore, having
been [already] justified
by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
... "God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." "Much more then, having been [already] jusified by His blood we shall be
saved from the wrath through Him." [because on the cross we have already been justified by the atonement (at-one-ment
/ reconciliation / indissoluble union) blood of Jesus], Rev. 1:5 "... Jesus... the first-born of the dead, ... [already] released us from our sins by his blood." Because
we have already been released and justified from sin and death by the "sprinkled" atonement (at-one-ment / union)
blood of Jesus, he was resurrected from death. Jesus
was not resurrected from death so that we might be released or justified by his blood after a sanctified life of "good
living" until death. He
was resurrected because we have already been released and justified... by his atonement (at-one-ment
/ reconciliation / indissoluble union) blood on the cross... the fulfillment of the sprinkling of blood
on the mercy seat in the most holy place. This
being so, now [the nanosecond we believe] we have peace with God by faith. By
faith in the eternal and indissoluble act of blood atonement (at-one-ment / reconciliation / indissoluble union) of the "son
of man" and our "Friend" Jesus on the "Mercy Seat / Cross" on our behalf, all human kind has peace with
God. Jesus
is the "peace" of all of us... now. Just
as... ...
nothing needed to be added to the Atoning Sprinkling of the Atonement Blood on the Mercy Seat by the High Priest Within the
Veil on the Day of Atonement, So
also... ...
nothing needs to be added to the Atoning Sprinkling of the Atoning Blood of Jesus on the Cross. This
being true... …
absolutely nothing needs to be added to the blood atonement (at-one-ment / reconciliation / indissoluble union) on
the cross after the ascension of Jesus into the Most Holy Place Presence of our Heavenly Father and the presentation
of his own Physical Body. *The
High Priest added nothing to the atoning sprinkling of the atoning blood on the day of atonement *The
people as a corporate body added nothing to the atoning sprinkling of the atoning blood *A
person as an individual could do nothing and also added nothing to the atoning blood that ONLY
the High Priest sprinkled within the veil on the mercy seat on top of the ark of the covenant between the outstreched
wings of the angel cherubim *The
people as individuals and corporately could do nothing within the veil *After
the High Priest "sprinkled" the blood there was nothing else for him to do *The
atonement (at-one-ment / reconciliation / indissoluble union) was finished (for that year) *All
the high priest could do now was commune with God who was present in the cloud on the mercy seat After the atonement blood was sprinkled on the mercy seat and after
the time of communion, the High Priest *walked
out of the Most Holy Place *walked
out of the tabernacle building *walked
out of the outer courtyard *walked
outside of the sanctuary compound *walked
into the camp of the people who were eagerly waiting for him to return to them As
with the High Priest on the Day of Atonement, so with Jesus and his atonement on the cross and his communion in heaven since
his ascension. Because
his "atonement" on the cross was "finished" before he ascended to heaven, and after his "communion"
in the heavenly presence of our Heavenly Father is finished, Jesus will return to us, resurrect us and receive us to himself
so that where he is we can be also... forever. In
other words, If… If
our first "yes to faith" response to the Holy Spirit who reveals to us the meaning of the Redeeming Blood of Jesus
and also our daily "yes" to the Holy Spirit made visible by our daily life are needed for us to
be "justified by the blood", Then… Then
the "atoning blood" of Jesus did not and it can not release and justify
anybody... ever..., ages future…, present… or past... or past... or past. Do you see it? Also in the past,
not just in the present time, since the cross. ONLY the "Atoning
Sprinkling" of the "Atoning Blood of ONLY Jesus", ONLY one time... ever, and ONLY
on the CROSS / MERCY SEAT, justifies us and releases us from sin, guilt and death... forever...,
since ONLY Jesus is "... the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world". In
other words… Before
we were conceived and born ONLY the blood of Jesus justified us and released all of us from sin and guilt
and death "Past and Present and Future"
justification by the indissoluble blood union. The indissoluble blood union transcends all time… before our life, during our life and after our life when we are dead and buried in the dust of the earth waiting
for our resurrection from death. That
is why our personal daily and life long sanctification, which is a word that refers to our "good works"
as well as our first "yes to faith" response, to our daily living response and to our rest in
the grave, is not... CAN NOT be the "good news… he is risen". Sanctification
is not the “good news… he is risen,” but it is definitely good news… because “he is risen” we will rise also. Our
first response and our daily consecrated living are our present and continuous response TO
the "good news… he is risen", the "glad tidings… he is risen", the "gospel… he is risen"... ONLY
Jesus. *Our
personal sanctified life of good words and good works are not the lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world.
*ONLY Jesus can and will resurrect us and release
us from death when he returns. *The
"sprinkled and atoning blood" of ONLY Jesus has already united Creator and Creation
*The
“sprinkled and atoning blood” of
ONLY Jesus has ALSO already justified and released 100% of the human race from
sin and death. *From
Adam to the last child born before the return of Jesus, all have already been redeemed from guilt, sin, and the wages of sin…
death. *This
was accomplished by the LAMB of God... slain from the foundation of the world… on the cross before
we were even conceived and born, past…
present… future. Only Jesus is:

Seat: the
heart of the Most Holy Place in the tabernacle, the only place of blood atonement / blood reconciliation
/ indissoluble blood union where God chose to meet the representative of the people only once each year,
to commune with him and show his people mercy when and where the blood was sprinkled, only once.
Only Jesus on the cross is the only atonement for sin (Sprinkled Blood) Only Jesus on the cross is the only person who made atonement for the people (High Priest) Only Jesus on the cross is the only victim whose blood atoned for sin (Lamb) Only Jesus on the cross is the only most holy place where God met us (Mercy Seat) That
which gives purpose and meaning to Lift Up Jesus ONLY is Jesus ONLY
on the Mercy Seat / Cross Only the Mercy Seat lid on top of the Only ark of the covenant was the heart of the Only Most Holy Place where Only within the veil, the Only atonement (blood at-one-ment / blood reconciliation / indissoluble blood union) was
made Only by the High Priest Only once each year. This was done Only by sprinkling Only the "blood" of Only the chosen "lamb". That specific sprinkling Only "on" the "Mercy Seat" was fulfilled Only by Jesus Only once Only on the cross The
Mercy Seat was the "first and last"; the "starting and ending";
the "Alpha and Omega" point of reference only once each year on the Day of Atonement,
when the atonement blood was sprinkled only once each year for all of Israel during the forty
years of wandering in the wilderness. The
Mercy Seat had God's attention once each year, and it should have our attention too. Mercy Seat: The Starting Communication Point Yahowah’s
starting communication point is the "Mercy Seat", located "Within The Veil", in the "Most Holy Place"
of the "Tabernacle", between the "Cherubim" with their wings stretched toward each other and their faces looking
down at the mercy seat. The "Cloud" above
the mercy seat was where "Yahowah" chose to meet the "High Priest", the only
advocate and mediator for all the people of Israel, those faithful to the daily, weekly, monthly, yearly services associated
with the sanctuary in the forty years of wandering in the wilderness, and those merely along for the ride until that original
and unfaithful exodus generation died before entrance into the Promised Land. When
the High Priest came within the veil to sprinkle the blood of the lamb he came to meet Yahowah who was already there,
waiting to "commune" with the people in the "cloud" from "above the mercy seat", from "between"
the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony...Ex. 25:22 The
"Atoning Sprinkling" of the "Blood of the Lamb" on the mercy seat by the High Priest was the "Atonement" (at-one-ment / reconciliation / union),
and it was sprinkled "Only Once" each year on the "Day of Atonement", only by the High Priest. Only Jesus
is our "High Priest" Only Jesus
is the "Lamb" sacrificed for the people Only Jesus
is the "Blood" of the covenant Only Jesus is the "Sprinkled" blood Only Jesus is the place where the blood was sprinkled...the "Mercy Seat", the lid
on the Ark of the Covenant Only Jesus is our "Atonement" Only Jesus is the "Veil" that needed to be breached to open the way into the most
holy place and the mercy seat Only Jesus is the indissoluble union of the holy place with the most holy place...
forever
Only Jesus was all of that in his own person and work in our behalf and in our stead (in our place,
and instead of us doing it). In our place he did what
we could not do... bring us "within the veil". When he died and his body breathed it's last breath the veil
was torn from top to bottom. By his death Jesus
gave up all of his being, breath, blood and body and indissolubly united forever the created with the Creator in a “new
creation.” The visible torn
body of Jesus, the visible sprinkled blood of Jesus, the visible buried
body of Jesus and the visible resurrected body of Jesus is our Heavenly Father’s visible assurance to
us that in Jesus we are a "new creation" with an indissoluble union of being and body and
blood, indissoluble for eternity. What God has united will
never be separated because it has been sealed by the ONLY being, body, blood, breath, death, and resurrection
of his ONLY Son. Only
the atonement blood sprinkled by the High Priest on the mercy seat has this "purpose & meaning" that Jesus fulfilled at the cross! The
mercy seat in the most holy place where the Lord, "in the cloud", "between the cherubim", "communed" with the High Priest
when the blood was sprinkled only once each year, is fulfilled on the cross only by Jesus. The
cross was a one-time only event, the only
place of mercy where God met with only Jesus, our only High Priest, where only his blood was spilled,
only he breathed his last breath and only
his being and body died, until only
his Resurrection when he breathed again! ONLY Jesus did what we could not do, only "within the veil", only
in the most holy place, only on the mercy seat, only on the ark of the covenant. ONLY Jesus IS
all of that ONLY Jesus is all of the
tabernacle and the daily and yearly service of mercy and reconciliation. ONLY Jesus DID
all of that ONLY Jesus fulfilled all
of the symbolic meaning of the tabernacle and service. Jesus: The Only "Mercy Seat"
That which gives purpose
and meaning to Lift Up ONLY Jesus is the "Mercy Seat", symbolized by the lid on top of the ark of the
covenant. It was the heart of
the Most Holy Place, the only point on earth where the Lord God of Israel communed only with the High Priest, the only representative
of Israel, only once each year. The Mercy Seat had God's
attention once each year, and it should have our attention also. The Mercy Seat was the
"first and last" / "starting and ending" / "Alpha and
Omega" point of communion only once each year on the Day of Atonement, when the blood was
sprinkled only once each year for all of Israel. The sprinkling of the
blood (at-one-ment blood / reconciliation blood / indissoluble
union blood) between the two cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant Mercy Seat is what it means to Lift Up Jesus ONLY from his point of view. Resurrection From Death vs. Which Is Biblical?
Never or Forever? John 11:25, 26 [NASB] "Jesus said to
her, ... 'I am the resurrection
and the life; he that believs
in me shall live even if he dies; everyone who lives
and believes in me shall never
die. ... '." John 14:16 [NASB] “And I will
ask the Father, And He will give
you another Helper, that He may be
with you forever;” 1 Peter 1:18, 24, 25 [NASB] "Knowing that
you were not redeemed with perishable things … all flesh is like
grass … the grass withers … and this is the
word which was preached to you." Romans 9:5 [NASB] "... the Christ
… who is Lord over all, God blessed forever. Amen." Compare the single word never in John 11:26 and the single word forever in John 14:16, 1 Peter 1:25 and Romans 9:5 in the literal
Greek and the NASB English. Both never and forever are from the same three (3) Greek
words transliterated as eis ton aiona, translated into English as
into the age. Greek transliteration (English translation): eis ton aiona (into the
age/eon) eis (into) ton (the) aiona (age, eon) John 11: 25,
26 "Jesus said …
everyone who lives and believes in me shall never [ Greek: "eis ton aiona" ] die. ... ’." John 14:16 “…
that He [Holy Spirit] may be with you forever;”
[ Greek: "eis ton aiona" ], ... ." 1 Peter 1:18, 24,
25 "… "but
the word of the Lord abides forever [ Greek: "eis ton aiona" ], Romans 9:4, 5 "... the Christ
… who is Lord over all, God blessed forever [ Greek: "eis ton aiona" ]. … ." Translation
and Meaning John 11:26 Literal English translation
from Greek: "… believing
in me by no means dies into the age …." [Greek: eis ton aiona / English: into the age] NASB translation of
the literal words: "… everyone
who lives and believes in me shall never die …." [Greek: eis ton aiona / English: into the age] In the NASB translation
of John 11:26, the six (6) words "by no means" and "into the age" [eis ton aiona]
are translated and contracted into the single
English word "never".
John 14:16 Literal English translation
from Greek: “…
that He [Holy Spirit] may be with you into the age;” [Greek: eis ton aiona / English: into the age] NASB translation of
the literal words: “… that He may be with you forever;” [Greek: eis ton aiona / English: into the
age] In the NASB translation
of John 14:16, the three (3) words "into the age" [eis ton aiona] are translated and
contracted into the single English
word "forever". 1 Peter 1:25 Literal English translation
from Greek: "… word
of [the] Lord remains into the age…." [Greek: eis ton aiona / English: into the age] NASB translation of
the literal words: "… word
of the Lord abides forever…."
[Greek: eis ton aiona / English: into the age] In the NASB translation
of 1 Peter 1:25, the three (3) words "into the age" [eis ton aiona] are translated and
contracted into the single English
word "forever". Romans 9:5 Literal English translation
from Greek: "… the Christ
… God blessed into the age…." [Greek: eis ton aiona / English: into the age] NASB translation of
the literal words: "… the Christ
… God blessed forever…."
[Greek: eis ton aiona / English: into the age] In the NASB translation of Romans
9:5, the three (3) words "into the age" [eis ton aiona] are translated and
contracted into the single English
word "forever". Text/Context Question About Meaning Consider John 11:26,
John 14:16, 1 Peter 1:25, Roimans 9:5 Do the transliterated
Greek words eis ton aiona and the translated English words into the age/eon mean never or forever
or both? In the KJV and NASB,
the same three
transliterated Greek words eis ton aiona are translated into English with two opposite and contradictory meanings, never
and forever. John 11:26: In the English
text, never is from the Greek "eis ton aiona", translated
into English as "into the age". John 14:16: In the English
text, forever is from the Greek "eis ton aiona", translated
into English as "into the age". 1 Peter 1:25: In the English
text, forever is from the Greek "eis ton aiona", translated
into English as "into the age". Romans 9:5: In the English
text, forever is from the Greek "eis ton aiona", translated
into English as "into the age". Which Is Correct? In John 11:26 – The NASB says,
believers “… never die. “ Which is correct? Believers never die or believers die
but by no means die forever No... never In John 11:26,
"eis ton aiona / into the age" means forever. It can not
ever mean never. In John 14:16 – The NASB says,
“… that He [Holy Spirit] may be with you forever;” Which is correct? Holy Spirit "be
with you forever" or Holy Spirit "be
with you never" No... never In John 14:16,
"eis ton aiona / into the age" means forever. It can not ever mean never. In 1 Peter 1:25
– The NASB says,
the "word … remains forever". Which is correct? God's "word …
remains forever" or God's "word ...
remains never" No... never In 1 Peter 1:25,
"eis ton aiona / into the age" means forever. It can not ever mean never. In Romans 9:5 – The NASB says,
Jesus the Christ is “… God blessed forever. Which is correct? Blessed forever ["eis tous aionas / into the ages" - plural - suggesting forever and ever and
ever, etc., without end.] or blessed never No... blessed never Yes... blessed forever In Romans 9:5,
"eis ton aiona" / "into the age" means forever. It can not ever mean never. Conclusion Yes... Believers by no means die forever Yes… Holy
Spirit is with you forever No… Holy
Spirit is with you never Yes... God’s word abides forever Yes... Jesus is God blessed forever The Greek "eis ton aiona" is translated into English "into the age" and means forever. It can not ever mean never. Yes... Believers die
but do not die forever The Holy Spirit
is with us forever God’s word
abides forever Jesus is blessed
forever “Forever” is accurate
and faithful to the transliterated literal Greek words and the translated English text / context. No... Believers die
never The Holy Spirit
is with us never God’s word
abides never Jesus is blessed
never “Never” is not
accurate or faithful to the transliterated literal Greek words and the translated
English text / context. The transliterated literal Greek words eis
ton aiona and the English translation into the age, can not mean both
forever and never. Why? Because the word of the Lord abides only forever [into the age], not never! There is only one
meaning in John 14:16, 1 Peter 1:25 and Romans 9:5, not two, and there is only
one meaning in John 11:26, not two.
Since "the word of the Lord" only endures forever, the transliterated Greek "eis ton aiona" and the translated
English “into the age” with the accurate meaning of forever in 1 Peter 1:25 is the guiding word that helps us see why "eis ton aiona / into the age" in John 11:26 can only have the same meaning of forever and not never. Application of Eis Ton Aiona / Into The Age (Eon) With a Forever Meaning The Greek eis ton
aiona and the English into the age always means forever, never does it mean never. "Not
die forever" [eis ton aiona / into the age] means that the expression life after death, with the implied
meaning of life continuing during death, is not an accurate expression and meaning. It
also means that believers never die is not an accurate meaning of the Greek "eis ton aiona"
and the English translation "into the age". Jesus
did not say believers never die, with the implication that they are still alive after death and they would be
alive forever ["eis ton aiona - into the age"] while dead. He
said there is death after life but death is not [ou may / by no means] forever [eis
ton aiona / into the age]. He also said there is
life [again] after death, however it is only after resurrection to life from death, not resurrection to life from life
continuing during death. Jesus
did not teach that the not visible soul / spirit / mind is alive somewhere separated from the visible body / brain while the
visible body / brain is dead [without life] and is dust in a grave. Jesus
taught resurrection to life from death, not resurrection to life from
life which continues after [and during] death. See
Luke 24:4-6 where two men in dazzling apparel (angels) ask the women why they were looking for
the living among the dead, since Jesus had already risen and was no longer in the tomb: "... He is not here, but he has risen. Remember...." See
Matthew 28:2-7 where
the angel whose appearance was like lightning and with a garment white as snow tells the women: "... He is not here, for he has risen, just as he said...." In
other words, When
Jesus was with the dead he was not living. Life [continuing] after [and during] death Existence continuing after
non-existence is as impossible
as non-existence continuing after existence. Awareness continuing after
non-awareness is as impossible
as non-awareness continuing after awareness. Consciousness continuing after
non-consciousness is as impossible
as non-consciousness continuing after consciousness. Life continuing after non-life / death is as impossible
as death continuing after [resurrection to] life. Resurrection to life from life which does not end at death is
not biblical. What Jesus Did Not Suggest *death
is life continuing in another form *resurrection
life comes from death *resurrection
life comes from life which continues after [and during] death Resurrection
is from death, yes, but resurrection life is not from death as a source of life. Death
is an enemy of life, not a source of life, and it is not a friend of believers. To
His disciples Jesus said, "… If I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, you may
be also" (John 14:2, 3). The doctrine of a future
judgment depends on and presupposes this truth about the return of Jesus and what he will do. Jesus said he will return
for us, he will resurrect us and he will receive us. Until Jesus
returns for us, we are not with him. Jesus
said he was going to prepare something for us, not with us. So,
until Jesus returns to receive us to himself, we do not go somewhere to be with him
after we die. Since we are not still
alive after we die, we can not be with him after we die. Only after
we are resurrected from death and live again can we be received by him and be with him. While
we are dead, prior to resurrection, we are not with Jesus. Jesus said he would receive
us here on this earth, after we are resurrected. He did not say he
would receive us in heaven after our death and before our resurrection. He
said he was coming back here where the dead are. Since
the dead do not live
with him in heaven, Jesus will return to us and resurrect us so that he can receive
us. Jesus told Martha that
[only] he is the resurrection and life, in that order of sequence, and if believers die they will live because those
"…believing
in me by no means [ou may] dies [apothanay] forever (eis ton aiona / unto the age). Do
you believe this?" Do you believe this too? *Life
does not begin or end *Life
is neither created or destroyed *Death
ends our existence as beings that are experiencing life *Jesus
ends death *Friends
of Jesus die but not forever *Immortality is associated with resurrection *Immortality
is not associated with death *Life
does not continue after and during death *Death
does not continue after and during life *We
do start living again after resurrection *We
will inhale our first resurrection after death breath in unison *We
are raised to life from death *We
are not raised to life from life which continues at death *We
who walk on the “narrow way” who are “justified by the blood” will be raised to life from death which
is final but not forever since death is not life continuing in another form *Death
is final and forever for everyone on the “broad way” since death is not life continuing in another form *Resurrection
to life is from death *Resurrection
to life is not from
life after death *Resurrection
to life is from death or resurrection to life is from
life after death, not

It
is IMPOSSIBLE and NOT
NECESSARY for there to be more than ONLY 1 ONLY ONLY 1 Creator ONLY 1 Father ONLY 1 Son ONLY 1 Lamb slain ONLY 1 Lamb slain
only one time ONLY 1 Lamb slain
at only one place The
irrefutable reason why there can be ONLY 1 ONLY Yahowah, the God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob affirmed only 1 "Only Begotten (conceived and born) Son". If it were otherwise,
he would have said so because he is: Truthful - he does not lie Lift Up Jesus Only… the ONLY 1 ONLY To say it a
different way; there can not be more than one way to God since there's ONLY 1 “ONLY Begotten (conceived and
born) Son”. Yes, it's a
play on words, with only one point to make… not more than one. Jesus: Irrefutable Proof That Time Travel Is Impossible If
more than ONLY 1 ONLY were possible, consider this alien (evil spirit) time
travel deception: *Time Travel would be a valid topic for serious scientific
discussion. *Humans would never cease to exist (contrary to “wage of sin is death”), with at least one 2nd chance
to change the past to change their future. *Lucifier and his rebel and fallen demonic spirits would
never cease to exist (contrary to “wage of sin is death”), with
at least one 2nd chance to change the past to change their future. The
symbolism associated with the wilderness tabernacle atonement service would have no meaning: *tabernacle
*high
priest *veil
*most
holy place *ark
of the covenant *mercy
seat *sprinkling
of the atoning blood only by the high priest Aaron *fulfillment
of the tabernacle atonement service on the cross by the High Priest Jesus Time
Travel (and reincarnation) are a dead end for discussion because: *Sin and death would never
end. *Jesus would be irrelevant
if sin and death could be ended by changing the past (to change the future). *Jesus would not
be the ONLY "Anointed" 1. *Jesus would not
have been resurrected because we would not have been "justified by the blood". *At the baptism of Jesus,
the visible confirmation by the dove would have been a deception. *The audible voice
from heaven that affirmed Jesus was the Son of God would have been a lie. *The command to listen
to Jesus would have been false and forgettable. However,
Yahowah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is: Truthful - he does not lie.
