I am about to look into the Incarnation of Promise, but before doing so I have this to say. All of the Word is that of Promise Immanuel and Messiah are of promise as are all the other promises the word. This being true and fact the word when received in the way that the Lord Jesus spoke of it as being His flesh and blood it becomes of our flesh and blood as well. What hinders this from taking place within own perception of mind. You see from our childhood we are trained and taught a dependency of our own flesh and not a dependency on GOD. Today we are witnessing this being played out before our eyes daily like never before in human history because it is in America that it is taking place. A Nation that is to be a nation under GOD and not the idolatrous corrupted flesh of man. So here we are facing Christ's Divinity as the Incarnate one in mans flesh of Promise. Again for this study I will use the ESV translation for the reasons I have stated before.
The Incarnation of Christ Manifested,
The child Immanuel,
Isaiah 7:10-16 "The LORD spoke to Ahaz, "Ask a sign of the LORD your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven." But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, and I will not put the LORD to the test." And he said, "Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also? (Isaiah 25:1) Therefore the LORD Himself will give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. He shall eat curds and honey when He knows (enough) how to refuse the evil and choose the good. For before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be deserted."
Isaiah 9:1-7 with 11:1-5 "For there will be no gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time He brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time He has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. The people who walk in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone (Hebrews 9:1). You have multiplied the nation; You have increased its joy; they rejoice before You as with joy at the harvest, as they are glad when they divide the spoil. For the yoke of His burden, and the staff for His shoulder, the rod of His oppressor, You have broken as on the day of Midian. For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over His kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this."
Isaiah 11:1-5 "There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. And His delight shall be in the fear of the LORD. He shall not judge by what His eyes see, or decide disputes by what His ears hear, but with righteousness He shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall kill the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt of His waist, and faithfulness the belt of His loins."
The Birth of Jesus,
Luke 1:26-38 with 2:1-7 "In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. And Gabriel came to her and said, "Greetings, O favored (richly blessed) one, the Lord be with you!" But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. For behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name (Yeshua being interpreted) Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the LORD God will give to Him the throne of His father David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end." To this Mary said to the angel, "How will this be, since I am a virgin?" The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For nothing is impossible with God." And Mary said, "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her."
Luke 2:1-7 "In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn."
The Incarnation of Christ,
John 1:14-18 with Acts 2:30, Romans 1:3 "The Word (of promise) became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory (the perfection of deity) as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about Him, and cried out, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, because He was before me.'") For from His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen GOD; the only God, who is at the Father's side, He has made (explained) Him (making)known."
Act 2:29-39 Peter is speaking on the day of Pentecost. "Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that He would set one of his descendants on his throne (Psalm 132:11, 2Samuel 7:12f and Psalm 89:3f), he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the (Messiah) Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses. Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, "'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool."' (Psalm 110:1) Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made Him both LORD and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."
Romans 1:1-6 "Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning His Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by (as the result of) His resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our LORD, through Whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of His name among all the nations, including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ."
Romans 8:1-8 Paul states the following after having revealed the errs of man and his religion and then justification and righteousness made clear, by the unity with Christ. "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law (the Spirit of Life) might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to this Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to this Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on this Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's (Spirit of Life) law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God."
Philippians 2:1-11 "So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but (laid aside His privileges) emptied Himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father."
1Timothy 3:14-16 with Hebrews 2:14 Paul writing. "I hope to come to you soon, I am writing these things to you so that, if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth. Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory."
Hebrews 2:14-18 "Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death He might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. For surely it is not angels that He helps, but He helps the offspring of Abraham. (Genesis 12:3, being the nations) Therefore He had to be made like His brothers in every respect, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For because He Himself has suffered when tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted."
1John 4:1-6 with 2John 7-11 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, for every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for He Who is in you is greater than he who is (of) in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the worldly listen to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error."
2John 7-11 "For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh (of redeemed man, Romans 8:9). Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward. Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in these teachings has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring these teachings, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works."
Next comes the knowledge with held.
