Continuing with Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. 6.1

     We are in the process of building the case against the false church of Revelation 17 by bring to light the Truth of Christ within all of humanity. To do this I will again return to John chapter 1 where John revealed the incarnate one. Why John? The answer is short, he was the most Spiritual in his gospel message, not relying on what other witnesses had to say but the Spirit within. Again using the KJV and KJV+, with the new Mirror Study Bible as the renewed mind revealed. Meaning that we are to be incarnate ones as Jesus was and remains having redeemed us. Being at verse 9 through 13, where we looked at verse 18 in our last adventure.

John 1:9-13 "That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came to His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as receive Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on His name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of GOD."

John 1:9-13 "That wasG2258 theG3588 trueG228 Light,G5457 whichG3739 lightsG5461 everyG3956 manG444 that comesG2064 intoG1519 theG3588 world.G2889 He wasG2258 inG1722 theG3588 world,G2889 andG2532 theG3588 worldG2889 was madeG1096 byG1223 Him,G846 andG2532 theG3588 worldG2889 knewG1097 HimG846 not.G3756 He cameG2064 toG1519 His own,G2398 andG2532 His ownG2398 receivedG3880 HimG846 not.G3756 ButG1161 as many asG3745 receiveG2983 Him,G846 to themG846 gaveG1325 He powerG1849 to becomeG1096 the sonsG5043 of GOD,G2316 even to them that believeG4100 onG1519 HisG846 name:G3686 WhichG3739 were born,G1080 notG3756 ofG1537 blood,G129 norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of the flesh,G4561 norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of man,G435 butG235 ofG1537 GOD.G2316   

Now please bear with me as I endeavor to match words of the Greek with the Strong's numbering system, now for the Mirror:

John 1:9-13 A new day for humanity has come. The authentic light of life that illuminates everyone was about to dawn in the World! (This day would begin our calendar and record the fact that human history would forever be divided into before (BC) and after Christ (AD). The incarnation would make the image of Elohiym visible in human form. In Him who is the blueprint of our lives there is more than enough light to displace the darkness in every human life. He is the true light that enlightens everyone! [Col. 1:15, 2:9, 10; 2Cor. 4:6]) Although no one took any notice of Him, He was no stranger to the world; He always was there and is Himself the author of all things. It was not as though He arrived on a foreign planet; He came to His own, yet His own did not 1recognize Him. (The Jews should have been the first to recognize Him! Revelation 19:12, also Psalm 24:1, "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell in it." The word, [1, G3880] paralambano, is a compound world: From G3844 [para, A primary preposition; properly near, that is, (with genitive case) from beside (literally or figuratively), (with dative case) at (or in) the vicinity of (objectively or subjectively), (with accusative case) to the proximity with (local [especially beyond or opposed to] or causal [on account of]). In compounds it retains the same variety of application: - above, against, among, at, before, by, contrary to, X friend, from, + give [such things as they], + that [she] had, X his, in, more than, nigh unto, (out) of, past, save, side . . . by, in the sight of, than, [there-] fore, with. In compounds it retains the same variety of application.] and G2983 [lambanō, A prolonged form of a primary verb, which is used only as an alternate in certain tenses; to take (in very many applications, literally and figuratively [probably objective or active, to get hold of; whereas G1209 is rather subjective or passive, to have offered to one; while G138 is more violent, to seize or remove]): - accept, + be amazed, assay, attain, bring, X when I call, catch, come on (X unto), + forget, have, hold, obtain, receive (X after), take (away, up).]; to receive near, that is, associate with oneself (in any familiar or intimate act or relation); by analogy to assume an office; figuratively to learn: - receive, take (unto, with. So we find para, indicating closeness of sphere of influence, with the suggestion of union of place of residence, to have sprung from its author and giver, originating from, denoting the point from which an action originates, intimate connection; and lambano, to comprehend, grasp, to identify with). Everyone who 1realizes their association in Him, 6convinced that He is their 2original life and that 7His name defines them, GOD 5gives the assurance that they are indeed His offspring, 2begotten of Him; He 3sanctions the legitimacy of their sonship. (The word often translated, to receive, [1, G2983] lambano, means to take in hand, to comprehend, to grasp, to identify with. This word suggests that even though He came to His own, there are those who do not [1]identify with their true [2]origin revealed in Him, and like the many Pharisees they behave like children of a foreign father, the father of lies (because of the woman of Rev. 17); [John 8:44]. Neither GOD'S legitimate fatherhood of humanity nor His ownership is in question; Humanity's indifference to their true [2]origin is the problem. This is what the Gospel addresses with utmost clarity in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus has come to introduce humanity to themselves again; Humanity has forgotten what manner of person they are by design! [James 1:24; Deuteronomy 32:18, Psalm 22:27]

The word, [2, genesthai, is from G1096] ginomai, (A prolonged and middle form of a primary verb; to cause to be (“gen” -erate), that is, (reflexively) to become (come into being), used with great latitude (literally, figuratively, intensively, etc.): - arise be assembled, be (come, -fall, -have self), be brought (to pass), (be) come (to pass), continue, be divided, be done, draw, be ended, fall, be finished, follow, be found, be fulfilled, + God forbid, grow, happen, have, be kept, be made, be married, be ordained to be, partake, pass, be performed, be published, require, seem, be showed, X soon as it was, sound, be taken, be turned, use, wax, will, would, be wrought.) means to generate; to become; John employs this verb in the Aorist Infinitive tense, which indicates prior completion of an action of relationship to a point in time. Greek infinitives could have either a present or Aorist form. The contrast between the tow forms has more to do with aspect than with time. The present Infinitive is used to express progressive or imperfective aspect. It pictures the action expressed by the verb as being in progress. The Aorist Infinitive however does not express progressive aspect. It presents the action expressed by the verb as a completed unit with a beginning and and. This is an important point since many translations of this verse suggest that GOD'S ability to make us His sons can only be in response to something we must first do in order to trigger GOD into action! Our grasping [lambano] is simply the awakening to the fact that our genesis is already completed in the Logos. [see John 1:3] The Logos is the source; Everything commences in Him. He remains the exclusive Parent reference to our genesis. There is nothing original, except the Word. We are His offspring. [Acts 17:28] "He has come to give us understanding to know Him Who is true and to realize that we are in Him Who is True." [1John 5:20]

The word, [3, G1849] exousia, (From G1832 [exesti, Third person singular present indicative of a compound of G1537 [ ek ] and G1510 [ eimi ]; so also ἐξόν exon; neuter present participle of the same, impersonally it is right (through the figurative idea of being out in public)] (in the sense of ability); privilege, that is, (subjectively) force, capacity, competency, freedom, or (objectively) mastery (concretely magistrate, superhuman, potentate, token of control), delegated influence: - authority, jurisdiction, liberty, power, right, strength.) Picking back up with [3] exousia, often translated, power; as in, he gave "power" to [2]become children of GOD, is a compound word. from ek, always denotes origin or source and eimi, I AM; thus, out of I AM! This gives [3, G1325] legitimacy and authority to our sonship; [4, G5043] teknon, translated as offspring, child.

"He has given," [5, G1325] didomi, in case to give something to someone that already belongs to them; thus, to return to. The fact that they already are His own, born from above and that they have their [2] beginning and their being in Him is now confirmed in their realizing it! Convinced, [6, G4100] pisteo; [7, G846] autos, or onoma, is humanity's family name. [Eph. 3:15] These are the ones who discover their genesis in GOD (Elohiym of Genesis 1:26-28), beyond their natural conception! This is not about our blood lineage or whether we were a wanted - or unwanted - child; This is about our GOD - begottenness. We are His dream come true and not the invention of our parents. You are indeed the greatest idea that GOD has ever had! (Jeremiah 1:5, 29:11 and John 3:2-7)

Now why do I like the Mirror Study Bible? IT confirmed for me all that I had heard from deep within me for some time before I received it as a gift. In our next visit we shall look at Revelation 17 and begin to bring all of this together as the Spirit of the LORD leads.
