Hbr 10:5 KJV - Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

Who is speaking here? The answer is the Word. Who is he speaking to? The Father. What is he talking about? The body of Jesus.
How do we know this?


Hbr 10:10 KJV - By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all].

Let's rewind the tape and get some back ground on how this occurred.

Luk 1:26 KJV - And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Luk 1:27 KJV - To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.
Luk 1:28 KJV - And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, [thou that art] highly favoured, the Lord [is] with thee: blessed [art] thou among women.
Luk 1:31 KJV - And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

Compare 31 to
Isa 49:1 KJV - Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

Luk 1:34 KJV - Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

She doesn't realize it, but as the angel has been speaking it has already happened; so the angel is really explaining how it has occurred.


Luk 1:35 KJV - And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:

Spirit will deliver the 23 chromosomes to her womb) and the power of the Highest shall over shadow thee: (The Father supplies the chromosomes to the Holy Spirit - notice how this is in reverse - The over shadowing should have been first - then the conveyance - Its written in a moving away - its finished). Why? To prevent interference by the enemy!

Luk 1:35 KJV cont. therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Psa 2:7 KJV - I will declare the decree: the LORD (the Father) hath said unto me, Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee. (Obviously, this is prophetic as Jesus is not yet born. "this day" occurs at the ascension, not at his birth, because this scene occurs in heaven after the crucifixion).
This should help clarify the servantship of the humanity in the first advent because he was a servant to both God and man.

Act 13:33 KJV - God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. (Notice "Jesus" not deity the title Son of God is humanity not deity.

Hbr 1:5 KJV - For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Hbr 5:5 KJV - So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
The fact that Mary is a virgin removes any chance that Jesus would have an Old Sin Nature, which is passed on by the male of the species.
By not having an OSN, which is in every cell of the body, the Word would have a place to abide, which was not made of hands. This is going to be the first way in which Jesus was a servant.

Luk 2:7 KJV - And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
The child is born; this is not deity - but hold on to your socks!

Luk 2:8 KJV - And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Now pay attention to the next verse.
Luk 2:9 KJV - And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

Jhn 3:13 KJV - And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, [even] the Son of man which is in heaven.
Hbr 10:5 KJV - Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Look at Luke 2:9 above, "And, Lo,"
Hbr 10:7 KJV - Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Lets take a second and look at Ps 40:6-12..... the first mention.

Psa 40:6 KJV - Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
Psa 40:7 KJV - Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is] written of me,
Psa 40:8 KJV - I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart.
Psa 40:9 KJV - I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
Psa 40:10 KJV - I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
Psa 40:11 KJV - Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
Psa 40:12 KJV - For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
If this is the first mention, then the volume of the book would have been the compilation of the previous books - The Torah!

The problem with much of the scripture on this issue is making the distinction between the humanity - (Jesus) - and the deity - (the Word) - Now lets complicate it more by adding another aspect, the uniting of the humanity and the deity - known theologically as the hypostatic union.

Psa 40:6 KJV - Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: (piercing the ear represents the servant of the Father and the Holy Spirit, ie Word and his major role) burnt - offering and sin - offering hast though not required (humanity)
Psa 40:7 KJV - Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is] written of me, (deity uniting with the humanity)
Psa 40:8 KJV - I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart.(the humanity)

Hbr 10:9 KJV - Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. (the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob - the Word) the Word who had given the law and sacrifices was now through the humanity going to establish the second "the sacrifice" - the body of Jesus. He (the Word) taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

The lips and breath of the humanity as the deity speaks.
Psa 40:9 KJV - I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
Isa 48:16 KJV - Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, (the begining) there [am] I: and now the Lord GOD, (the Father) and his Spirit, hath sent me. (Who is being sent?)
Jhn 1:1 KJV - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, (the Father) and the Word was God.
Jhn 1:2 KJV - The same was in the beginning with God. (This is not the Father or the Holy Spirit)
Jhn 1:3 KJV - All things were made by him; and without him (he was always involved even when assisted) was not any thing made that was made.
Jhn 1:10 KJV - He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Jhn 1:11 KJV - He came unto his own, (this is a hypostatic; God/man statement) - (the Word had created the Jews and from Mary Jesus was genetically Jewish) and his own received him not.
Jhn 1:14 KJV - And the Word was made flesh, (as we see in Luke 2:9, they became one in flesh) and dwelt among us, (it was residing in the body of Jesus) (and we beheld his glory, (who's glory, the Word's) - (its important to realize there are 2 glory’s spoken of here) the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, was seen on the mount of transfiguration, speaking of the humanity.
Where would John have seen the glory of the Word -
Jhn 18:6 KJV - As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground.
(the effulgence) flashing forth -
Isa 49:2 KJV - And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword;
Hbr 4:12 KJV - For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hbr 4:12 KJV - For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,
Rev 19:15 KJV - And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword,
Make no mistake that sword is the speaking of the Word.

Remember the angel in Luke 2:9 The Word has an herald, he always shows up first -
Luk 2:9 KJV - And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
Act 7:2 KJV - And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
Act 7:55 KJV - But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
That's the whole gang! See the glory guy is distinct from God the Father and Jesus?

Exd 3:2 KJV - And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush [was] not consumed.
Exd 3:4 KJV - And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here [am] I.
Exd 3:6 KJV - Moreover he said, I [am] the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. (Matt 22:32-33 - Mk 12:26) And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
Exd 3:13 KJV - And Moses said unto God, Behold, [when] I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What [is] his name? what shall I say unto them?
Exd 3:14 KJV - And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

Jhn 8:56 KJV - Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
Jhn 8:57 KJV - Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Jhn 8:58 KJV - Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. - who's speaking through this man's lips; HELLO!!

Exd 3:15 KJV - And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this [is] my name for ever, and this [is] my memorial unto all generations.

Ok; remember the God of your fathers and let's go to Psalm 22 and get the issue of who forsook whom and why!





Psa 22:1 KJV - My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring?




Mat 27:45 KJV - Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
Mat 27:46 KJV - And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? (Mk 15:34) - Luke 23:44
Jesus makes this statement after the fact. Why? To draw the informed to Ps 22 to see what has been going on for the last 3 hours. Something has happened from just before the sixth hour to just about the ninth hour and He wants us to figure out why God had forsaken him; not at the end of the ninth hour but actually somewhere before the sixth hour
Remember in Heb 10:5 "a body thou hast prepared me"
Remember in John 1:14 "And the Word was made/or joined to flesh and dwelt amongst us."

2Cr 5:19 KJV - To wit, that God was in Christ,
The reason the Word could reside in the body of Jesus was, he, Jesus had no OSN. God can have nothing to do with sin. So this perfect body was the temple of the Word until something happened.

1Pe 2:24 KJV - Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
Psa 22:1 KJV - My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? (Why have you left my body) [why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring? (He will be screaming for 3 solid hours as the sins are now poured into his body, the deity had to relocate because Jesus is our substitute and committed no sin personally. Jesus' soul is perfect, so the Word moves to the sanctuary in Jesus' soul - The same function that believers use in this dispensation).
Psa 22:2 KJV - O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

Remember in previous verses from Matt. and Mark; that the day time had become night, but notice in Ps 22 that the deity left him before that, So why did the Word leave him?
Psa 22:3 KJV - But thou [art] holy, (holy refers to God's righteousness and justice - because Jesus' body was now imputed with sin the deity had to leave that relationship in that format.) [O thou] that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Psa 22:4 KJV - Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
(This should tell you who this God is; it isn't the Father or the Holy Spirit and if you remember what the I am said to Moses, "I am the God of your fathers," It should be clear that it is in fact the Word, alias the Glory of the Lord, because of the imputation of sin to Jesus' body - the Word forsook an intimate relationship which had started 33 years earlier. (1Kings 8:57-58))

What does this mean to us? For 3 hours under conditions we can not begin to fathom, Jesus succeeded to fulfill the desire of God under a system that has been offered to mankind ever since. The sad fact is that extremely few people since then have ever broken away from religion and works of the flesh to accomplish this.

Jesus is the substitutionary sacrifice for both parties - Perfect humanity, who was born without a sin nature - took our sins willingly into his body - because God could not - He, Jesus shed his blood for us; because God could not, he doesn't bleed - He was judged for us; because God is above being judged; Jesus dies physically for us because God can not die.
God is thrilled that this man did for God what God could not do, therefore giving him great honor -
Man on the other hand could care less and are careless!

Many underestimate the role of the Holy Spirit, at times it seems He is almost sidelined.

And so:

‘My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, [SUP]21 [/SUP]that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. [SUP]22 [/SUP]I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they(the believers) may be one AS we are one – [SUP]23 [/SUP]I in them and you in me – so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
John17:20-23

How can believers be as one?

then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit(and therefore) and of one mind
Phil2:2

That they may be one AS we are one

I agree with it all.But it is Jehovah which paved the way for the Father as His servant. The humanity paved the way for Jehovah as a servant. I pave the way for all that read these posts as a servant.

One of the sons of God. All that saw these angels all spoke to the Lord. Jehovah was in them just as he is in Christ.
Paul keeps saying that we are to be one in Christ.

So we do agree on this JL?

And you know, until I came onto internet websites, I never gave the subject a thought. I just simply believed in Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I never had any desire to delve into it.

Anyway, its nice to have an ally

God Bless

Gen 22:1 KJV - And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt (test) Abraham, Remember Acts 7:2 "The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham," I just want you to realize that this is the Word so the God testing Abraham and us in Genesis 22:1 is the Word.
Gen 22:1 cont. and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, [here] I [am]. - this is the God/the Word will give Moses in Ex 3
Gen 22:2 KJV - And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son] Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

What do we have at this point as we move into this portrayal or picture? We have Abraham a historical figure who is the Father of an only son called Isaac. Abraham from this point on will also be playing the part of God the Father. Isaac will play the role of the God/man up to verse 9


Gen 22:3 KJV - And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, (is this the triumphant entry) and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood (hewn the wood) for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.

Prior to the next verse it is necessary to simply say that it is not enough to say that Isaac has been dead for 3 days at this point. It is important to realize that this story reads backwards. As you read the story you are actually watching the film played backwards to the crucial point on the cross where the deity was forced to leave the body of the humanity. It’s absolutely incredible.


Gen 22:4 KJV - Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. (Its worth mentioning here; (John 8:56-58) this is what Jesus was speaking of. "Lifting up the eyes" speaks of seeing with another set of eyes!! Abraham had seen the actual event with Jesus played out!)


Gen 22:5 KJV - And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; (indicating they have nothing to offer; mankind provides nothing to salvation), and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
Now we have arrived at the bubble; the focal point, the crucifixion.


Gen 22:6 KJV - And Abraham (the Father) took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid [it] upon Isaac his son (the God/man) ; and he took the fire (judgment) in his hand, and a knife;(for the shedding of the blood) and they went both of them together. (speaking of the humanity and the deity with the Father)
Gen 22:7 KJV - And Isaac (the Word) spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here [am] I, my son. (why is this point that follows made; why in the form of a question? To cause the reader to come to a spiritual conclusion) And he said, Behold the fire (judgment) and the wood: (the place of the judgment) but where [is] the lamb for a burnt offering? (From the divine viewpoint the deity had been in the forefront, especially during the ministry of the Christ. But very soon the ultimate purpose for the humanity will be revealed).
Gen 22:8 KJV - And Abraham (the Father) said, My son (the Word), God (the Holy Spirit) will provide himself a lamb (Jesus) for a burnt offering: (Remember Luke 1:35 "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee," he conveyed the 23 chromosomes) so they went both of them together.
Gen 22:9 KJV - And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, (could this hewn wood been in the shape of a cross?) and bound Isaac his son,(still the God/man) and laid him on the altar upon the wood. (upon the wood). (Isaac is 33 years old)
Its important to note at this point that the fire for the burnt - offering is already a blaze in a sacrifice, before the life of the animal is taken.
Fire is judgment, the Word is deity, it can't be judged, God doesn't bleed, deity can't die! Notice the absences of fire, no fire yet!
Gen 22:10 KJV - And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

The next two verses snap in and out of the analogy giving to the transition where the Word will leave the body of Jesus and enter the sanctuary of his, Jesus' soul. The awkward period between the Words move to the point in the 6th hour when the sins were imputed to Jesus' body.

Gen 22:11 KJV - And the angel of the LORD (remember this guy? He's the one that always proceeds the Word, His herald - No one ever realized that it was the Word in Jesus’ body - now He comes out) called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: (Jesus said, "My God, my God,") and he said, Here [am] I.
Gen 22:12 KJV - And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: (Deity cannot be judged, does not bleed, cannot die, and because of God righteousness and justice (holy) God can have nothing to do with sin.) for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, (Luke 1:35B therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee (shall) be called the Son of God) thine only [son] from me.(both Isaac and Jesus are uniquely born!)

Hold your breath, we're going into the deep end of the pool!!

Gen 22:13 KJV - And Abraham lifted up his eyes, (back into divine or spiritual realm) and looked, (notice it doesn't say he turned, he was watching something else, worlds if not 100s of years away, now dive!) and behold behind [him] a ram (that holy thing) caught in a thicket (the Romans, the Sanhedrin, the world powers) by his horns: (Rev 5:6 stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns) and Abraham (the Father) went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son (the Word).

The Father imputed the sins of the world into the body of Jesus and judged them, within minutes of the Word leaving his body - forsaking that aspect of the relationship that had started hours after his birth. That’s why as Ps 22:1 "from the words of my roaring." We have no idea what this man went through.
No Idea!

So what else do we need to know?

Let's look at it from another angle.

Gen 3:8 KJV - And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: (this way actually something that went on on a regular basis, if not everyday. God wanted to spend time with mankind. But now (sin) was going to cause a great distance to be placed between man and his creator.)

1Ki 6:13 KJV - And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
1Ki 6:14 KJV - So Solomon built the house, and finished it.

Act 7:47 KJV - But Solomon built him an house.
Act 7:48 KJV - Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Act 7:49 KJV - Heaven [is] my throne, and earth [is] my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what [is] the place of my rest?
Act 7:50 KJV - Hath not my hand made all these things?

Isa 66:1 KJV - Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me? and where [is] the place of my rest?
Isa 66:2 KJV - For all those [things] hath mine hand made, (Who is talking here?)
Jhn 1:3 KJV - All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Isa 66:2 cont. and all those [things] have been, saith the LORD: but to this [man] will I look, [even] to [him that is] poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

Act 7:49 reads much like Isa 66:1
But something very interesting verse :48

Act 7:48 KJV - Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

(Bc 1004) God of Abraham enters Solomon's temple

1Ki 8:5 KJV - And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, [were] with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
1Ki 8:6 KJV - And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy [place, even] under the wings of the cherubims.
1Ki 8:7 KJV - For the cherubims spread forth [their] two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
1Ki 8:8 KJV - And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy [place] before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.
1Ki 8:9 KJV - [There was] nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

1Ki 8:11 KJV - So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.

Compare to:

2Ch 7:2 KJV - And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD'S house.

Eze 11:23 KJV - And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which [is] on the east side of the city.

Eze 43:3 KJV - And [it was] according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, [even] according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions [were] like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.

A Unique Temple

Mat 12:6 KJV - But I say unto you, That in this place is [one] greater than the temple. (who is speaking and about whom?)

Act 7:45 KJV - Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
Act 7:46 KJV - Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
Act 7:47 KJV - But Solomon built him an house.

1Ki 8:16 KJV - Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
1Ki 8:17 KJV - And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
1Ki 8:18 KJV - And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.

The issue with David being a bloody man, not because of war, but because he murdered Uriah the Hittite is the reason he couldn't be the temple.
The murder demonstrated he had an old sin nature, which is passed on genetically by the male in copulation. This is why Jesus couldn't have an OSN; Why God the Father provided the 23 chromosomes which the Holy Spirit administered to Mary's womb.

Act 7:52 KJV - Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
Act 7:46 KJV - and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
It's the tabernacle that was murdered; but for some very important reasons; and it wasn't a tragedy; it was a victory!
