JOHN CHAPTER 8 (2018)

JESUS (S) WAS A FAITHFUL WITNESS BACK THERE IN THE BEGINNING AND WHO IS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA?

�John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from �him� which is, and which was, and which is to come;

�and� from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

V.5 �And� from Jesus Christ, WHO IS THE FAITHFUL WITNESS�� Rev.1: 4-5

As you can see all are distinct personality, First God Almighty: �Grace be unto you, and peace, from �him� which is, and which was, and which is to come�;

Then the seven Spirits which is before the throne: �and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne�;

 And then Jesus Christ who is a Faithfull witness: �AND FROM JESUS CHRIST, WHO IS THE FAITHFUL WITNESS�.

If the seven Spirits of God Almighty was part of Him well then they would also be on the throne, but they were before the throne worshiping God Almighty. So the One, which is, which was and which is to come is �GOD ALMIGHTY� because God Almighty existed as he is, He was here when Adam was put on the earth and is yet to come in the end. In Rev. 1: 8 mentioned that! He is the ALMIGHTY:

�I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the ALMIGHTY�. Rev.1:8 

John 8 

He then told them:

²⁴ I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

²⁵ Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

They were questioning him about himself and he said, I told you already; they didn�t believe he was SENT BY HIS GOD and that he has brought a message to deliver, so he explained in verse 26- 40 he gave the answer, the ULTIMATE TRUTH:

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.

²⁷ They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

²⁸ Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

In verse 28 Yesus (S) said: �When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he�� What that mean? He is talking about after the sign of Jonah (s) he will go to Heaven.

�For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the wale�s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth�. Matt.12:40

Did Jonas die in the wale belly? No! So, after the sign of Jonas he was lift up to the Heaven. So he said in verse 29:

²⁹ And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

Now in verse 29 there he said: �and he that sent me is with me�. What that means is God Almighty always communicate with him from above and there in one in agreement to stay in believe.

That they "ALL" may be "ONE"; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that also may be "ONE" in "US"...I in them, and "THOU (THE DICIPLES) in ME (JESUS), that THEY (ALL) may be made "PERFECT in ONE"... John 17:21

And in some other verses he says the same thing. Let�s look it up. It mentioned in John 16 verse 32 and in John 14 verse 10:

Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am �not alone,� because the Father is �with me�. (John 16: 32)

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. (John 14:10) 

What that mean? Does that means God Almighty is there with him and really dwellth in him? No! God Almighty does not dwell in his creation God Almighty is above the Heavens but by virtues of knowledge he is with him. Is that my opinion? No. Then what is my proof? In verse 37 they seek to kill him because he told them he was sent by God Almighty so in Matthew 26: 36-39 he went to PRAY FOR HELP and let�s see what happen. It reads as follows;

And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face. And prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou will. Matt.26:35-39

Notice, he fell on his face and PRAYING to his God asking him to change the situation? Yes! And what happen next? His God send an angel to help him.

And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. (Luke 22:43)

If the Father is �with him and in him�, what is the purpose of �sending an angel?� Do angels strengthen God? The answer is no! Or why the angel has to strengthen him when all power was given unto him?

"...All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." (Matthew 28:18)

Because God Almighty did not dwellth in him, but he is with him by virtues of knowledge that is why he sent an angel to help him, to inform him, he heard his prayer�Paul told you in Hebrew 5 verse 7:

Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him (God Almighty) that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared. (Hebrews 5:7)

Another point he said: �My soul� and not �flesh�, not his human side �flesh� but his spiritual side �soul.� His soul was exceeding sorrowful even unto death, he fears death. Which God will fear death? Does God Almighty supposed to die? God Almighty was not dwelling him.

JESUS (S) WAS A FAITHFUL WITNESS BACK THERE IN THE BEGINNING AND WHO IS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA?

�John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from �him� which is, and which was, and which is to come;

�and� from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

V.5 �And� from Jesus Christ, WHO IS THE FAITHFUL WITNESS�� Rev.1: 4-5

As you can see all are distinct personality, First God Almighty: �Grace be unto you, and peace, from �him� which is, and which was, and which is to come�;

Then the seven Spirits which is before the throne: �and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne�;

 And then Jesus Christ who is a Faithfull witness: �AND FROM JESUS CHRIST, WHO IS THE FAITHFUL WITNESS�.

If the seven Spirits of God Almighty was part of Him well then they would also be on the throne, but they were before the throne worshiping God Almighty. So 126the One, which is, which was and which is to come is �GOD ALMIGHTY� because God Almighty existed as he is, He was here when Adam was created on earth; and is yet to come in the end. In Rev. 1: 8 mentioned that! He is the ALMIGHTY:

�I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the ALMIGHTY�. Rev.1:8 

THE HUMAN SPIRIT:

The Human�s spirit is that which Allah (S) created for each person at the beginning, we were and are spiritual being and we were sent here on earth at our appointed time until the Day of Judgment.

 Allah (S) said:

فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ (38:72)

Faitha sawwaytuhu wanafakhtu feehi min roohee faqaAAoo lahu sajideena (Qur�an 38:72)

"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him." (Qur�an 38:72)

When Allah (S) says: �We breathed into him of my spirit!�  Does that mean the spirit that Allah (S) bread into Adam (S) is Allah (S) or part of Allah (S)? No! How do we know that? Allah (S) gives us the answer in his Noble Book the Qur�an, He mentioned:

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرحْمَنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا (78:38)

Yawma yaqoomu alrroohu waalmalaikatu saffan la yatakallamoona illa man athina lahu alrrahmanu waqala sawaban

�The Day that the spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by (Allah) Most Gracious, and He will say what is right.� (Qur�an 78:38)

On the Day of Judgment the Spirit (Rooh) and the angels will stand forth in ranks in front of Allah (S). If the spirit (Rooh) was Allah (S) then that would mean on the Day of Judgment Allah (S) will stand forth in front of himself, which is incorrect. When Allah (S) used the term �My Spirit� it simply means everything belongs to Allah (S), example: My throne, My universe, My servants, My angels, My Spirit etc.; all was created by Allah (S) for a purpose.

That spirit which Allah (S) breathed into Adam (S) is the spirit he created for Adam (S) and after that he created all the spirits of Adam�s descendants at the beginning. They were and are spiritual being and they were sent here on earth at their appointed time until the Day of Judgment. It is mentioned in His Noble Book the Qur�an:

�When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves, (saying): �Am I not your Lord (who cherishes and sustains you)?� They said: �Yea! We do testify!� (This), lest ye should say on the Day of Judgment: �Varily, we have been unaware of this�

Or lest ye should say: �It was Our fathers before us may have taken false gods, but we are (their) descendants after them: wilt Thou then destroy us who took others as partnesrin worship along with Allah, and we were (merely their) decendants after them; will you then destroy us because of the  deeds of men?�  Al-A'raf (The Heights) 7:172-173  

 All the children of Adam�s were created at the beginning in spirit (Rooh) and were testifying concerning the one true God-Allah (S) that He is their Lord, so that, on the Day of Judgment they will have no excuses.

It is also in the O.T. Prophet Solomon is reported in Proverbs 8:22-27 (NIV) to have said:

"22 The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old; 23 I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began. 24 When there were no oceans, I was given birth, when there were no springs abounding with water; 25 before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, 26 before he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world. 27 I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,

 According to Job 38:4 and 21 (NIV), God addresses Prophet Job as follows:

"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. 5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? (Job 38:4-5)

21 Surely you know, for you were already born! You have lived so many years! (Job 38:21)

Why we do not remember what happen in the beginning? Allah (S) tells us in the Noble Qur�an:

By the time, verily Man is in lost, except such as have faith, and do righteous deeds, and (join together) in the mutual enjoining of truth, and of patience and constancy. (Q. 103:1-3)

By the passing of time: Time begins with Allah�s (S) creations and we were created in the beginning to witness the one true Creator Allah (S) before we were place here on earth. We then become forgetful and ungrateful of the Creator Allah (S), we are in a state of lost or forgetfulness by the passing of time, and to get back there we have to put our trust and have faith in Allah (S) by following His reminder (The Qur�an and the prophet�s (S) Sunnah)

Allah (S) said:

وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى (20:124)

Waman aAArada AAan thikree fainna lahu maAAeeshatan dankan wanahshuruhu yawma alqiyamati aAAman

"But whosoever turns away from My Message (Dhikr), verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment. He will say: "O my Lord! why hast Thou raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)?" (Allah)) will say: "Thus didst Thou, when Our Signs came unto thee, disregard them: so wilt thou, this day, be disregarded." 20:124-126 (Y. Ali)

The Arabic word there is �dhikr� which mean �reminder� and it translates as �Message� by Y. All. So the Qur�an is the �reminder� and it reminds us of whom we are and where we came from where we have to go and how to get there.
