By way of reminder we are doing a deep dive into what is brought out in Hebrews 13:20-21 which states this: "Now the GOD (Elohiym - Jesus Christ) of Peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." you"
While thinking on this early this morning the LORD dropped this into my awareness, 'I have begotten you.' So needless to say this caused me to ponder this for quite sometime before getting up to start my day. Wondering how that fit into what we have been learning of Him...Them. We now know that what was lost by the actions of Adam was the knowledge of our Oneness of Identity, this brought out in post 6.4f. After all most people know that Jesus is the reference in Psalm 2:7, which relates to this: 'I will declare the decree: the LORD having said to me,You art My Son; This day have I begotten you.'
With that said what He said to me this morning does it remain only with the LORD of Glory and Peace? For we find this in Psalm 148:6 "He has also established them for ever and ever (the word H5703, ‛ad, means, From H5710 [‛âdâh, A primitive root; to advance, that is, pass on or continue ]; properly a (peremptory) terminus, that is, (by implication) duration, in the sense of perpetuity (substantially as a noun, either with or without a preposition): - eternity): He having made a decree which shall not pass."
I did some looking into the OT to find the word "begotten" using the Strong's Word Dictionary of the OT and NT, which is H3205, what is meant by begotten or to beget? The Hebrew for H3205 is, yâlad, it's meaning is from; A primitive root; to bear young; causative to beget. Then I looked a bit farther and found this one: H4138, môledeth, from H3205, meaning, nativity (plural birth place); by implication lineage, native country; also offspring, family: - begotten, born, issue, kindred. Then there was another this being H3318, yâtsâ', meaning, A primitive root; to go (causative bring) out. So when we understand our identity and origin and that we have been brought through a great tribulation of the flesh suffered at the hands of men most wicked (they being both the religious and political heads of the day) and that we were in the humanity of our common origin as Christ in Jesus' flesh, blood and bone body, which houses the image and likeness that we all carry within us. Is this making sense?
How about what is spoken in Acts 13:33-34 "GOD having fulfilled the same to us (Their) children, in that They have raised us in Jesus again; As it is also written in the second Psalm, 'You art My Son, this day have I begotten you.' And as concerning that They raised (Humanity) up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, They said on this wise, 'I will give you the sure mercies of David.'" (This word begotten is G1080, gennaō, means, a variation of G1085, genos, [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), to be raised]; “kin”; to procreate (properly of the Father,); figuratively to regenerate: to be delivered.)
Does this fit the narrative of Hebrews 13:20-21? Or that of the following Epistles; Paul's, John's in 1, 2 and 3 and Peter's 1 and 2. The NT record points us to this. Also the record of John's visions of Revelation prove this. It is GOD (Elohiym) Who works within us to perfect us to do GOD'S Will, this not of our own efforts as that would be self efforts, works of the flesh and we could glorify ourselves by such! Does this dispel the religious methods of condemnation's working of the flesh, I think so!
