“… he (Jesus) sustains everything by the mighty power of his command.” (Hebrews 1:3, NLT)

“He (Jesus) existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.” (Colossians 1:17, NLT)

“For everything comes from him (Jesus) and exists by his power …” (Romans 11:36, NLT)

I have added “Jesus” in brackets to keep everyone happy.
But, the truth of the matter is …
in the beginning, the Word did all of this … and Jesus is doing it now!
Because … “Jesus”, the God-man, the Son of God, the Messiah, etc.
did NOT exist until He came into the world via the Word, the Holy Spirit, and Mary!

Now, let’s continue …

Atomic scientists inform us that …
● An atom consists of a nucleus (positive), and at least one electron (negative).
● There is a tremendous amount of space (relatively) between the nucleus and the electrons.
● The electrons are whizzing around the nucleus with a force “A”.
● The electrons are attracted to the nucleus with a force “B”.
● IF force “A” equals force “B”, the electrons will whiz around the nucleus perfectly.

Since Jesus is in control …

If He tells all electrons to slow down a bit ...
force “A” will be less that force “B”, and
all electrons will collapse into their nuclei (pl),
and there would be NO atoms anywhere …
… all there would be is empty space!

If He tells all electrons to speed up a bit ...
force “A” will be greater that force “B”, and
all electrons will fly off away from their nuclei (pl),
and there would be NO atoms anywhere …
… all there would be is empty space!

If either of these conditions were to happen,
there would be (relatively) nothing anywhere!
The world would NOT exist, and we would NOT exist.
Have you been humbled a bit (or a lot) today?

I'm thinking (if you don't mind) that ...

Before the Incarnation, in heaven, the Trinity was:
Father God, the Word, the Holy Spirit.

After Jesus ascended into heaven, the Trinity was:
in heaven: Father God and Jesus
on earth: the Holy Spirit

Keeping in mind ... where you have One, you have all Three:
"Jesus answered and said to him,
'If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him,
and We will come to him and make Our home with him.' " (John 14:23)

ATHANASIAN CREED:

Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the catholic faith. Which faith except everyone do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. And the catholic faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity, neither confounding the persons, nor dividing the substance.

For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit. But the godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, is all one, the glory equal, the majesty co-eternal.

Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Spirit. The Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, and the Holy Spirit uncreated. The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible, and the Holy Spirit incomprehensible.

The Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Spirit eternal. And yet they are not three eternals, but one Eternal.

As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated, but one Uncreated, and one Incomprehensible. So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty, and the Holy Spirit Almighty. And yet they are not three almighties, but one Almighty.

So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. And yet they are not three gods, but one God.

So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord, and the Holy Spirit Lord. And yet not three lords, but one Lord.

For as we are compelled by the Christian verity to acknowledge each Person by Himself to be both God and Lord, so we are also forbidden by the catholic religion to say that there are three gods or three lords.

The Father is made of none, neither created, nor begotten. The Son is of the Father alone, not made, nor created, but begotten. The Holy Spirit is of the Father, neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.

So there is one Father, not three fathers; one Son, not three sons; one Holy Spirit, not three holy spirits.

And in the Trinity none is before or after another; none is greater or less than another, but all three Persons are co-eternal together and co-equal. So that in all things, as is aforesaid, the Unity in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped.

He therefore that will be saved must think thus of the Trinity.

Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation that he also believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the right faith is, that we believe and confess, that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and man; God, of the substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds; and man of the substance of his mother, born in the world; perfect God and perfect man, of a rational soul and human flesh subsisting. Equal to the Father, as touching His godhead; and inferior to the Father, as touching His manhood; who, although He is God and man, yet he is not two, but one Christ; one, not by conversion of the godhead into flesh but by taking of the manhood into God; one altogether; not by confusion of substance, but by unity of person. For as the rational soul and flesh is one man, so God and man is one Christ; who suffered for our salvation, descended into hell, rose again the third day from the dead. He ascended into heaven, He sits at the right hand of the Father, God Almighty, from whence He will come to judge the quick and the dead. At His coming all men will rise again with their bodies and shall give account for their own works. And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting; and they that have done evil into everlasting fire.

This is the catholic faith, which except a man believe faithfully, he cannot be saved.


Chalcedonian Creed (A.D. 451)

We, then, following the holy Fathers, all with one consent, teach men to confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, the same perfect in Godhead and also perfect in manhood; truly God and truly man, of a reasonable [rational] soul and body; consubstantial [co-essential] with the Father according to the Godhead, and consubstantial with us according to the Manhood; in all things like unto us, without sin; begotten before all ages of the Father according to the Godhead, and in these latter days, for us and for our salvation, born of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, according to the Manhood; one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, only begotten, to be acknowledged in two natures, inconfusedly, unchangeably, indivisibly, inseparably; the distinction of natures being by no means taken away by the union, but rather the property of each nature being preserved, and concurring in one Person and one Subsistence, not parted or divided into two persons, but one and the same Son, and only begotten, God the Word, the Lord Jesus Christ; as the prophets from the beginning [have declared] concerning Him, and the Lord Jesus Christ Himself has taught us, and the Creed of the holy Fathers has handed down to us.

Am I way, way off to be thinking that Messiah Yeshua - Jesus now in His resurrected form could resurrect all human beings who existed on November 25, 1939........... replicate all who existed in that moment in time and then pour out the Holy Spirit at a much higher level than was poured out in that day in what we know of as history........

..... and voila... have a new time line in which WWII works out entirely differently...... perhaps no Holocaust........
or at least with the Holocaust dramatically reduced in intensity. It is an intriguing idea......


How powerful is Messiah Yeshua - Jesus really?
