Gurukula Back To Godhead Begins Its Tenth Year In The West

A discourse on the Holy Bible by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Founder-Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness Delivered on June 14, 1974, in Paris, France

Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you very much for kindly participating in this sankirtana movement, which is a movement for the vibration of transcendental sound. Sound is the origin of all creation. That is admitted in the Bible also. We are reading a passage from the Bible:

[A disciple reads] The Gospel According to Saint John. Chapter 1. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”

This same principle is explained in the Vedic literature. Here it is said, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Because God is the Absolute Truth, there is no difference between God and God’s form, His qualities and His word. Everything related to God is also God. In the material world, name and substance are different. For example, when you are thirsty, if you simply utter the words “water, water, water,” that will not quench your thirst. But in the spiritual world the name of God, or Krishna, and the Supreme Personality of Godhead are the same.

I shall quote one Sanskrit verse from the Vedas, which parallels this Biblical passage:

nama cintamanih Krishnas
caitanya-rasa-vigrahah
purnah suddho nitya-mukto
‘bhinnatvan nama-naminoh

The purport of this verse is that the name of God is as powerful as God Himself. It is called purna, which means “complete,” suddha, which means “free from all material contamination,” and nitya, which means “eternal.” Abhinnatvan nama-naminoh means that there is no difference between the name and the person whose name we are chanting. Thus when we chant the holy name of God, like the name Krishna, Krishna is personally present. One need not chant the name Krishna; one may chant any name that he knows is God’s. God has many names, which may be chanted with the same effect in different languages and in different countries.

The Father of Everyone

Actually God has no name, but names are given to Him according to His activities. For example, we are chanting God’s name “Krishna” because “Krishna” means “all-attractive.” How is God all-attractive? We can get some idea from our conception of attractiveness in this material world. One is attractive in this material world if he is very rich, very powerful, very wise, beautiful, famous or renounced. Thus one may become attractive in six ways. The Vedic literature states:

aisvaryasya samagrasya
viryasya yasasah sriyah
jnana-vairagyayos caiva
sannam bhaga itingana

This verse indicates that God is all-attractive because He is the richest of all, He is the strongest, the most beautiful, the most wise, the most renounced and the most famous.

Our position—we human beings who are sitting in this hall, as well as all other living beings—is that we are all sons of God. Krishna states in Bhagavad-gita:

sarva-yonisu kaunteya
murtayah sambhavanti yah
tasam brahma mahad yonir
aham bija-pradah pita

“It should be understood that all the species of life, O son of Kunti, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving father.” [Bg. 14.4] Thus according to the Vedic conception, all living entities in all forms of life are parts and parcels of God. Your Bible says that in the beginning there was only the Word and that the Word was God. Therefore, God existed before the creation. And where did all the created creatures come from? They came from God. Thus all of the 8,400,000 species of creatures were made by God.

He who creates must be the father, for even in the material sense, it is the father who creates his children. How can we deny that this is so? Here in the Bible it is said that all things were created by Him. One cannot whimsically deny the authoritative statements of the Vedas or the Bible. Therefore, He is the father of everything. When you go to the church, you pray, “Father, give us our daily bread.” This indicates that He is the father of everyone. Therefore here it is clearly said, “All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.” This is perfect knowledge.

In the Image of God

The same ideas are also stated in the Vedanta-sutra, the most perfect philosophy presented in the Vedic language. The Vedanta-sutra says, athato brahma-jijnasa:“Human life is meant for inquiring about God.” This Krishna consciousness movement, therefore, is meant to enable one to understand God. This movement has been active in the Western countries only for the last six or seven years, but it has been on this planet for the last five thousand years. When I say “Krishna consciousness,” this means God consciousness. Human life is meant for understanding God and becoming God conscious. An animal cannot possibly understand God. Our advertisements have invited everyone to this meeting to discuss something about God, but only human beings have come, not cats and dogs. The human life is a chance given by nature with which to understand God, but if one does not fulfill this opportunity, his next life may not be that of a human being. The soul is within the body, and it is a part and parcel of God. If you can understand the soul, therefore, you can partially understand God. Indeed, if you study yourself, to some extent you study God because you are a sample of God. In the Bible it is also said that man is made in the image of God. Therefore if you study yourself—that study is called meditation—then you can understand God.

For those who are in the bodily concept of life, the yoga system and meditation are very important for self-realization. In fact, however, if you want to understand yourself, you can do it very easily by a very simple method. Just consider your finger and ask yourself whether you are your finger. The answer will be no. I am not the finger; it is my finger. Everyone, even a child, will say, “This is my finger, this is my hand, this is my leg, my head.” No one will say, “I finger, I head, I leg.” Therefore the conclusion should be that I, the soul, am different from this material body.

The material body changes because of the presence of the soul. For example, a child changes his body and gets a different body—that of a young boy. Then the boy changes his body and gets a different body—that of a young man, who in turn gets the body of an old man. Every one of us can consider himself in this way: “I had the small body of a child, I had the body of a small boy, I had a youthful body, and now I have an old body.” By this simple study I can understand that I am different from the body. And I can also understand that because I am eternal, I was existing within all these bodily forms. Therefore in Bhagavad-gita it is said, na hanyate hanyamane sarire: after the destruction of this body, I, the soul, am not destroyed but continue to live.” As described in Bhagavad-gita, the soul is eternal.

na jayate mriyate va kadacin
nayam bhutva bhavita va na bhuyah
ajo nityah sasvato ‘yam purano
na hanyate hanyamane sarire

“For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does he ever cease to be. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.” [Bg. 2.20]

Life After Death

Death is but the destruction of this outer, gross material body. We all have experience that although every night our body lies in bed, with my subtle body, which consists of mind, intelligence and ego, by dreaming I leave my bedroom and go elsewhere. Thus we all have experience of leaving our gross bodies and taking our subtle bodies to do something else while the gross bodies are still here. Therefore, I, the soul, am changing back and forth between gross and subtle bodies. I dream with the subtle body, and when the dream is over I return to the gross body. And the change that takes place when the subtle body carries the soul from one gross body to another is called death.

The subtle body of mind, intelligence and false ego carries one to another body according to the nature of his mind. The mind is always full of thoughts, and at the time of death, according to those thoughts in which his mind is absorbed, the soul is given another gross body. This is explained in Bhagavad-gita:

yam yam vapi smaran bhavam
tyajaty ante kalevaram
tam tam evaiti kaunteya
sada tad-bhava-bhavitah

“Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, that state he will attain without fail.” [Bg. 8.6] Thus bhava, the attitudes of the mind, carry one to the next gross body at the time of death.

Bhagavad-gita says that after death the soul gets another body (tatha dehantara-praptih). What kind of body will one get? It is necessary to prepare oneself. Now, we can see that there are so many kinds of bodies. In the water there are 900,000 species, in the vegetable kingdom, among the trees and plants, there are 2,000,000 kinds of bodies, and there are also 11,000 species of insects, 1,000,000 types of birds and 3,000,000 types of beastly bodies.

There are 400,000 human species, and the civilized man is considered to be in the perfect bodily situation because nature gives us this human form of body to enable us to understand God. In other forms of life, there is no chance of understanding Him. Therefore, the duty of each of us, before our next death comes, is to understand God. If we simply misuse this body to live like cats and dogs, we are missing our greatest chance.

Because we are completely under the control of material nature, we cannot possibly say that we are free. That is stated in Bhagavad-gita:

prakrteh kriyamanani
gunaih karmani sarvasah
ahankara-vimudhatma
kartaham iti manyate

“The bewildered spirit soul, under the influence of the three modes of material nature, thinks himself the doer of activities that are in actuality carried out by nature.” [Bg. 3.27] There are three modes of material nature, namely goodness, passion and ignorance. When we are under the control of material nature, we associate with these modes, or qualities. As stated in Bhagavad-gita:

urdhvam gacchanti sattva-stha
madhye tisthanti rajasah
jaghanya-guna-vrtti-stha
adho gacchanti tamasah

“Those who associate with the mode of goodness are promoted to the higher planetary systems, those in the mode of passion remain in the middle planetary systems, and those in the mode of ignorance descend to the lower planetary systems.” [Bg. 14.18] Therefore, although we may like to think that we are independent, these three modes of nature have been carrying us from one planet to another and from one body to another since time immemorial. We are all eternal, but because our consciousness has been polluted by these three qualities of nature, we have to undergo repeated birth and death in the material world. Therefore, we should take advantage of the opportunity afforded by the human form of life to become free from these material qualities and rise to the spiritual platform of God consciousness, or Krishna consciousness.

Getting in Touch with God

“In the beginning was the Word.” This indicates that before creation, transcendental sound existed. That word or transcendental sound is not like material sound, for if we associate with the transcendental sound Hare Krishna, we become purified and thus become transcendental. To give a crude example, if we put an iron rod into a fire, it will gradually become warmer and warmer until it becomes red hot. When it is red hot, it will no longer be iron; it will be fire. How has it become fire? By association with the fire. Therefore if you simply keep yourself in touch with God through the transcendental sound, gradually you will become godly, and as soon as you become godly, you will become the same in quality as God—full in riches, full in power, full in knowledge and everything else. Therefore the Vedic instruction is, “Don’t keep yourself in darkness. Come to the light.” At the present moment, the entire world, for want of godly understanding, is in darkness. But since we have the privilege of eating, sleeping, sexual intercourse and defense. Cats and dogs also eat, sleep, have sex and defend, but a human being should not be educated only in these four principles of animal necessities. The real need of humanity is the need to understand God. Therefore in every civilized human society there is some system of religion. Whether it is Christianity, Mohammedanism, Hinduism or whatever, in civilized society there must be some form of religion, and a human being is supposed to follow the religious principles to have complete knowledge of God and himself, to know the relationship between God and himself, and to know the goal of life. It doesn the real purpose of life is to know God, or religion, consists of the codes given by God.

Therefore, in conclusion, there is God, and God’s word indicates that God is a person. As soon as we accept the word of God, we have to conclude that God is a person. You are vibrating words and I am vibrating words, and this shows that we are persons. The word of God and God Himself are not different, yet God is a person, and He speaks. If He can speak, then He can also hear, smell, eat and perform all other sensual activities. If He could not hear, then our prayers to Him—”O God, please give us our daily bread”—would be useless. Therefore from the statements of the scriptures—whether the Bible or Bhagavad-gita—it is understood that God is a person like you.

As stated in the Vedas, nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam/ eko bahunam yo vidadhati kaman. This verse indicates that God is the Supreme Being. Even in the dictionary it is stated that “God” refers to the Supreme Being. We are all beings, but God is the supreme being. Just as in every state there are citizens but there is one chief citizen or chief executive, so among the many living beings there is one supreme living being. Just as we are living beings, God is also a living being, and just as we eternal, God is also eternal. But God is one, whereas we are many. And what is significant about that one? Eko bahunam yo vidadhati kaman: that one—God—is maintaining all the other living beings. He is a person and we are persons, but because He is the one who maintains us, we therefore go to God to beg for our daily bread. By constitutional position, therefore, we are predominated, and God is the predominator; we are very small, and God is very great.

At the present moment, however, we are defying this position, and that is why we are in trouble. Our Krishna consciousness movement, therefore, is educating people to understand that since they are always subordinate to Krishna, if they surrender to Krishna they will be happy. Do not remain in a rebellious condition of life. Just surrender to God and you will be happy. That is the final conclusion of Bhagavad-gita (sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja). We are making so many plans to become happy and they are failing, but if we take this plan, if we surrender to God, then all our problems will be solved. Our Krishna consciousness movement does not try to make Hindus into Christian or Christian into Hindus. That is not our purpose. Or only request to you is this: every one of you, try to understand God, love Him and be happy.

The final conclusion of Bhagavad-gita is that if you want your mind to be peaceful, you should understand three things: that God is the supreme enjoyer, that His is the proprietor of everything, and that His is the friend of everyone. If you very scientifically understand only these three things, then you life will successful.

You can understand these simple truth by chanting God’s name: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Hare is an address to the energy of God, Krishna meand God, who is all-attractive, and Rama is also a name of God. So in this verse—Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare-there are only three words: Hare, Krishna and Rama. Therefore anyone can chant these three names-Hare, Krishna and Rama—and make his life perfect. I hope that you will join us in chanting this Hare Krishna maha-mantra.

John 1 is probably one of the most controversial chapters in the Bible. Indeed, it is therefore critical to our understanding of the new testament.

Interestingly, the entire Christian religion hinges on a particular understanding of it, and that is that the Messiah is equal to or the same as the Father…anything to be able to fit him into a trinity (which is the core belief of Christianity). Indeed, according to Christianity.com, if you don’t believe in a trinity, then you are not a Christian.

However, there are those believers who believe that YAHUAH is one according to Debarim 6:4….

Deu 6:4  Hear, O Israel: YAHUAH our Aluahym is one YAHUAH:

So because of how important it is, here on Just a Word, we have to follow the golden rule of understanding scripture in order to solve the mystery of John 1:

Isa 28:9-10  Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

MEANING OF “WORD”

So let us look at the meaning of “Word” in scripture:

Gen 15:1  After these things THE WORD of YAHUAH came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

“Word” here is the Hebrew “dabar.” We use the Hebrew rendition to unite both Testaments, as the people of the Bible were Hebrews and not Greeks. So we have to look at it from a Hebrew perspective:

H1697
דָּבָר
dâbâr
daw-bawr’
From H1696; a word; by implication a matter (as spoken of) of thing; adverbially a cause: – act, advice, affair, answer, X any such (thing), + because of, book, business, care, case, cause, certain rate, + chronicles, commandment, X commune (-ication), + concern [-ing], + confer, counsel, + dearth, decree, deed, X disease, due, duty, effect, + eloquent, errand, [evil favoured-] ness, + glory, + harm, hurt, + iniquity, + judgment, language, + lying, manner, matter, message, [no] thing, oracle, X ought, X parts, + pertaining, + please, portion, + power, promise, provision, purpose, question, rate, reason, report, request, X (as hast) said, sake, saying, sentence, + sign, + so, some [uncleanness], somewhat to say, + song, speech, X spoken, talk, task, + that, X there done, thing (concerning), thought, + thus, tidings, what [-soever], + wherewith, which, word, work.
Total KJV occurrences: 1438

So, dabar in Genesis 15:1 is message, utterance or the spoken word.

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Aluahym, and the Word was Aluahym.

Note carefully this verse:

Joh 1:2  The same (WORD) was in the beginning with Aluahym.

So let us use the principle of precept upon precept, line upon line to see who or what was the spoken word that was with the Most High in the beginning.

WHO OR WHAT WAS WITH THE MOST HIGH IN THE BEGINNING?

Because the same word was with the Most High in the beginning, it is imperative that we go back to the beginning:

Gen 1:1-2  In the beginning Aluah created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Aluahym moved upon the face of the waters.

The Spirit of YAHUAH is the Word that was in the beginning. It is the medium through which the spiritual spoken word or is uttered, as the next verse tells us:

Gen 1:3  And Aluah said (spoken word through his Spirit which hovered over the face of the deep), Let there be light: and there was light.

So that was the Word/Dabar (the spoken word) uttered through his Holy Spirit.

Hence getting back to John 1…

Joh 1:2  The same (spoken word/Spirit of YAHUAH) was in the beginning with YAHUAH.

The word was there with the Father is his Holy Spirit because it is through the Holy Spirit that he spoke and created the heavens and the earth.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE WORD

Next, we will show more concretely that the Word is the Holy Spirit of the Father. Actually, the Messiah told us explicitly in John 6:63, that the words he spoke are spirit.

Joh 6:63  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Now to show definitively that the Word that was in the beginning was the Holy Spirit, let us let Samuel SHOW us the word of YAHUAH.

1Sa 9:27  And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on,) but stand thou still a while, that I may shew thee the word of Aluahym.

Okay Samuel, then show us the word of Aluahym (that was in the beginning – John 1:1):

1Sa 10:10  And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of Aluahym came upon him, and he prophesied among them.

So Samuel promised to show Saul the word of Aluahym, and the manifestation was the Holy Spirit coming upon him. Most importantly, he prophesied.

Note that it is a constant in scripture: the word of YAHUAH comes to the prophets “saying.” The prophets are the messengers of YAHUAH, who can then speak the message they received.

THE WORD OF YAHUAH CAME UNTO ME SAYING

Thus it is good to look at this consistency in scripture a little closer, that the word of YAHUAH (Holy Spirit) came unto men (messengers) saying (message).

To highlight this principle, take a look at the following verses. The Holy Spirit brings a message to the prophets who are able to speak what they heard.

2Ch 18:23  Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of YAHUAH (the word) from me (messenger) to speak (the message) unto thee?

Same principle here:

Isa 38:4  Then came the word of YAHUAH (Holy Spirit) to Isaiah (messenger), saying (the message),

Eze 7:1  Moreover the word (dabar) of YAHUAH came unto me (messenger), saying (the message),

In actuality, we are highlighting this process so as to show that it is no different for the Messiah. The word (dabar) of YAHUAH came to the prophets saying (amar). This results in the prophets speaking what they heard.

Bear this principle in mind: the word came with a message, resulting in the prophet speaking the message. It is the same thing that happened with the Messiah, except that the Messiah’s relationship with the Father was much, much more personal. More on this soon.

ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM NB. By the way, we will soon look at verse 3 in more detail in our next post. What I can tell you though, is that it does not mean what most of us think it means, and we will give you concrete proof.

THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH

Thus we continue our look at “the word” by looking at verse 14, which tells us the word was made flesh. This is very important, as it is the verse that implies that the Most High came as a man.

Joh 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

First of all, we see that the Messiah Yahusha was made, and the Most High cannot be made. Additionally, his glory is as of the only begotten of the Father.

In other words, his glory was as of the son of the Father. His glory is not as the Father!

HOW WAS THE WORD MADE FLESH

Next, we must ask, how was the word made flesh?

The Word was made flesh when a man was GIVEN the Word (Holy Spirit) of YAHUAH (given by YAHUAH) without measure.

Note the emphasis on the word given!

Jn 3:34 — Jn 3:35
For he whom YAHUAH hath sent speaketh the words of YAHUAH: for YAHUAH giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

The Spirit (Word) was given to a man!!!

Related: Did “God” Come In The Flesh?

WHY WAS THE SPIRIT (WORD) GIVEN TO A MAN WITHOUT MEASURE?

But why was the Messiah given the Spirit without measure? Why was the Word made flesh?

Heb 1:1-2  YAHUAH, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

The word was made flesh as the Son is now his Messenger who had come to fulfill prophecy. For this prophecy to be fulfilled, this Messenger (Messiah) had to have the full power of the Holy Spirit.

Messenger?

MESSIAH MEANS MESSENGER

Many do not know that the Messiah actually means messenger. The Christian religion has shunned the function of the Messiah as YAHUAH’S messenger (making them anti-messiah (antichrist), as they are busy making him an object of worship as a sort of demi-god. See: “Why You Are Antichrist If You Believe Jesus Is God.”

However, first, here is a dictionary definition, then we will give scripture:

The word messiah is often used in a religious context to refer to a messenger of God — that is, someone appointed to save people who are in any way oppressed. Source: Vocabulary.com.

And here it is from scripture:

Isaiah 42:19  Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as YAHUAH’S servant?

So the Messiah was YAHUAH’S perfect messenger, so he was given the Spirit without measure.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOW THE MOST HIGH SPOKE THROUGH THE PROPHETS AS OPPOSED TO HOW HE SPOKE THROUGH THE MESSIAH

We will notice that the word of YAHUAH came at different times unto the prophets with specific messages. They spoke as they heard.

Malachi 1:1  The burden of the word of YAHUAH (message through the Holy Spirit) to Israel (destination) by Malachi (messenger).

Eze 28:20-21  Again the word of YAHUAH (the Holy Spirit) came unto me, saying (message), Son of man (messenger), set thy face against Zidon (destination of the message), and prophesy (speak) against it,

Note, the Word of YAHUAH came unto them with a message for a target audience, and the prophets spoke the message.

However, with the Messiah given the Spirit without measure, he spoke with authority and the Bible never referred to the word of YAHUAH coming unto him, because it was with him at all times. He still spoke what he heard (we will look at this in the next paragraph), but spoke with authority because the Most High had given him all power.

So the Messiah is the instrument through whom the Most High spoke after the time of the prophets (Hebrews 1:1-2).

However, he once again now speaks to us through the Holy Spirit who are given to the many of us who believe on the Son. That is why the Messiah had to leave before the Comforter was given to us:

Joh_16:7  Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

So the Most High then spoke to us through the Apostles (who were given the Comforter/Holy Spirit) and presently through his prophets worldwide who have believed on the Messiah through the teachings of the Apostles.

WHERE DID THE SON OF YAHUAH GET THE WORDS TO SPEAK?

Now we said earlier that the Son spoke what he heard, and not his own words.

Joh 14:10  Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

So let us confirm where the son got the words to speak.

Joh_8:26  I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

Joh_8:40  But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of Aluahym: this did not Abraham.

Joh_15:15  Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his master doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

All verses say the same thing. He heard the word from the Father and spoke it, just as the prophets of old.

So what does this mean?

Simple. The word that became flesh is not actually the Father himself, but the son of the Father who has to hear the spoken word from the Father, then speak it! Look again at the verses above. Study them carefully. In fact, you don’t have to go back, Here is a bonus verse:

Joh 12:49  For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

CONCLUSION: THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH

So to conclude, the “Word” was made flesh. This means the full power of the spoken word through the Holy Spirit dwelled in a man.

Joh 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

This means the Most High then spoke through his son instead of through prophets in whom was his Holy Spirit.

The Messiah was special above all other prophets (Deut 18:15) in that he was given the Holy Spirit without measure (undiluted). This means he had the full measure of the Father’s Spirit (John 3:34).

Indeed, if Yahusha Messiah was the Father, he could not have been GIVEN a spirit, as the Most High is the ancient of days which existed before time. He always existed and will always exist. He cannot be born nor “made” or “given” a spirit.

This verse (John 1:14) also tells us that we beheld his glory. Now what was his glory?

“and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father.”

His glory was not that of the Father! Instead, it was as of the only begotten of the Father…big difference!

WHY WAS THE BOOK OF JOHN WRITTEN?

This is why John (in telling us what the book of John was about) wrote the following to show the intent of the verses in John 1:

The Purpose of This Book
Joh 20:30-31  And many other signs truly did Yahusha in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Yahusha is the Messiah, the Son of YAHUAH; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

See that? He did not write the book of John to show that the Messiah was the Most High. He wrote it to show that THE MESSIAH IS THE SON OF THE MOST HIGH.

So all that word becoming flesh, etc is just to show that the Messiah was YAHUAH’S son!

YAHUAH IS NOT A MAN, NEITHER IS HE THE SON OF MAN (HUMAN BEING)

This is because a man cannot be the Most High:

Num_23:19  ALUAHYM IS NOT A MAN, that he should lie; NEITHER THE SON OF MAN, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Note carefully: he said HE IS NOT THE SON OF MAN!

THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST

Because if we do not believe that the Messiah was a man, then we are antimessiah (antichrist as they call it):

1 John 4:2  Hereby know ye the Spirit of YAHUAH: Every spirit that confesseth that Yahusha HaMashiach is come in the flesh (Greek: “sarx” – 100% human being in flesh without reference to the spirit or soul) is of YAHUAH:

1Jn 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Yahusha HaMashiach is come in the flesh (Greek: “sarx” – 100% human being in flesh without reference to the spirit or soul) is not of YAHUAH: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

G4561

sarx
Probably from the base of G4563; flesh (as stripped of the skin), that is, (strictly) the meat of an animal (as food), or (by extension) the body (as opposed to the soul (or spirit), or as the symbol of what is external, or as the means of kindred, or (by implication) human nature (with its frailties (physically or morally) and passions), or (specifically) a human being (as such): – carnal (-ly, + -ly minded), flesh ([-ly]).

In other words, if we confess at all that Yahusha is YAHUAH, then we are antimessish (antichrist). All those worshiping the Messiah as YAHUAH because they say he is the word are antimessish (antichrist). That is why Christianity is the religion of the antichrist.

THE SON OF YAHUAH

Hence he is the Son of YAHUAH. He is not YAHUAH. This is summarized in this situation in which the Pharisees sought to stone the Messiah for making himself Aluahym (erroneously called God).

Joh 10:32-33  Yahusha answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?  The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself Aluah.

Joh 10:34-35  Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are aluahym? If he called them aluahym, unto whom the word of YAHUAH came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

Now let us see what the Pharisees though of the Messiah making himself Aluah. Did they think he was making himself to be YAHUAH?

Joh 10:36  Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of Aluahym.

So we see, the Messiah was the son of Aluahym, not Aluahym himself.
