The following Bible passages will show forth the Redeemer in His deity and also in His humanity as man. Whenever His coming was announced, it was later confirmed that He was sent. If He speaks of Himself and His coming we also find reports that He came. Both are right. Because the divine and the human part had to be justified.

Right after the Fall in the Garden of Eden, the Lord gave the promise of the coming seed, through the woman, who would bruise the serpent’s head. Therefore, He said to the serpent, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” (Gen. 3:15). That Christ, the Messiah, was the predicted seed of the woman is known to every Bible reader. He, therefore, never called Mary His mother as others did but He called her woman (Jn. 2:4, a. o.).

“The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine” (Gen. 49:10-11). “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy King cometh unto thee; he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt, the foal of an ass.” (Zech. 9:9). In Mt. 21; Mk. 11; Lk. 19 and Jn. 12, we find these promises fulfilled when Christ rode into Jerusalem on that notable day. In Rev. 5:5, He is called the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

“I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.” (Dt. 18:18-19). In the four gospels, the Messiah is described in His prophetic ministry as Son of man. Peter refers to the passage in Acts 3:22-23:“For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord, your God, raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things, whatever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass that every soul, who will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.” The Messiah was the God-Prophet. His word is obligatory for all who wish to appear before God. In Him God gave the final answer on earth and fulfilled all the words predicted by the prophets.

“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet.” (Ps. 8:4-6). The perfect harmony between the Old Testament prophecy and the New Testament fulfilment is overwhelming. “Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men; and, being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore, God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth” (Phil. 2:6-10).

“He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. Also I will make him my first-born, higher than the kings of the earth” (Ps. 89:26-27). “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among many brethren.” (Rom. 8:29). “And again, when he bringeth in the first-begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.” (Heb. 1:5). “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins; who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation.” (Col. 1:14-15). “Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2. Cor. 5:17). “… who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead …” (Rev. 1:5).

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign, Behold, the virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Isa. 7:14). “… Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary, thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the Prophet.” (Mt. 1:20-22).

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” (Isa. 9:6-7).

The child that was to be born unto us is spoken of as being the Mighty God and Everlasting Father. Both, the human and the divine aspects are clearly stated in the Scriptures. The prophet Isaiah gave the consolation “Strengthen the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to those who are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not; behold your God will come … he will come and save you.” (Isa. 35:3-4).

Never did God say that He has a Son next to Him Whom He would send. He came Himself and took on sonship. The sign for us to recognise is: “Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing …” (Isa. 35:5-6). All this was precisely fulfilled in the ministry of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blind could see, the deaf heard, the lame walked and the dumb could speak (Lk. 7:22).

In Isaiah 40 we are told, “The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord (Yahweh), make straight in the desert a highway for our God (Elohim) … O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! Behold, the Lord God (Elohim-Yahweh) will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him…” Yahweh of the Old Testament is Yahshua of the New. God above us as Father, God with us in the Son, and God in us by the Holy Spirit. He manifested Himself in various ways to accomplish His Own plan of salvation with us.
