15/ HE (JESUS) IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE FIRST-BORN OVER ALL CREATION.  16/ FOR BY HIM ALL THINGS WERE CREATED THAT ARE IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, WHETHER THRONES OR DOMINIONS OR PRINCIPALITIES OR POWERS.  ALL THINGS WERE CREATED THROUGH HIM AND FOR HIM.

[Please review #3 "About Angels" Weekly Bible Study] 

JESUS CHRIST THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE

17/ AND HE IS BEFORE ALL THINGS, AND IN HIM ALL THINGS CONSIST.  18/ AND HE IS THE HEAD OF THE BODY, THE CHURCH, WHO IS THE BEGINNING, THE FIRST-BORN FROM THE DEAD, THAT IN ALL THINGS HE MAY HAVE THE PREEMINENCE.  19/ FOR IT PLEASED THE FATHER THAT IN HIM ALL THE FULLNESS SHOULD DWELL.  20/ AND BY HIM TO RECONCILE ALL THINGS TO HIMSELF, BY HIM, WHETHER THINGS ON EARTH OR THINGS IN HEAVEN, HAVING MADE PEACE THROUGH THE BLOOD OF HIS CROSS. 21/ AND YOU, WHO ONCE WERE ALIENATED AND ENEMIES IN YOUR OWN MIND BY WICKED WORKS, YET NOW HE HAS RECONCILED  22/ IN THE BODY OF HIS FLESH THROUGH DEATH, TO PRESENT YOU HOLY, AND BLAMELESS, AND ABOVE REPROACH IN HIS SIGHT.

• JESUS is The WORD OF GOD.

Revelation 19:13 * His name is called THE WORD OF GOD. 

• JESUS IS ONE WITH THE FATHER.

John 10:30 * "I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE". 

• JESUS IS ONE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

 1st John 5:7  states, * “For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.” John 1:14 tells us "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us."

GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, & GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT, ARE THE THREE PERSONS IN ONE GOD, CALLED THE TRINITY, OR HOLY TRINITY.

FOR THOSE HAVING A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING THE SCRIPTURES, AND THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD [1st Corinthians 12:3 NKJV says * no one can say that JESUS IS LORD except by the HOLY SPIRIT*], AND THAT JESUS IS NOT JUST A PROPHET OR MERE MAN (JESUS IS AND WAS FULLY GOD, AND FULLY MAN WHILE ON EARTH); PLEASE KNOW THAT GOD WILL GIVE YOU UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCRIPTURES, AND OF WHO JESUS WAS AND IS; IF YOU PRAYERFULLY ASK HIM TO.

AFTER JESUS DIED AND WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD, HE APPEARED TO HIS APOSTLES, BEFORE GOING BACK UP INTO HEAVEN, TO OPEN THEIR UNDERSTANDING (GIVE SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT), OF THE SCRIPTURES. 

LET'S READ CONFIRMATION OF THE ABOVE STATEMENT IN LUKE 24:44-45 NKJV ----------------

44/ THEN HE SAID TO THEM, "THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH I SPOKE TO YOU WHILE I WAS STILL WITH YOU, THAT ALL THINGS MUST BE FULFILLED WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES AND THE PROPHETS AND THE PSALMS CONCERNING ME."  45/ AND HE OPENED THEIR UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY MIGHT COMPREHEND THE SCRIPTURES.

SPIRITUAL REVELATION KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDING COMES FROM GOD THE HEAVENLY FATHER, GIVING SPIRITUAL REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST THE SON, TO US, BY THE HOLY SPIRIT; AS WE SEEK HIM AND STUDY HIS WORD.  LET'S EXAMINE THE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURE:

 MATTHEW 16:13 THRU 17 NKJV

13/ WHEN JESUS CAME INTO THE REGION OF CAESARA PHILIPPI, HE ASKED HIS DISCIPLES, SAYING, "WHO DO MEN SAY THAT I, THE SON OF MAN, AM?"  14/ SO THEY SAID,"SOME SAY JOHN THE BAPTIST, SOME ELIJAH, AND OTHERS JEREMIAH OR ONE OF THE PROPHETS."  15/ HE SAID TO THEM, "BUT WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?  16/ SIMON PETER ANSWERED AND SAID, "YOU ARE THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD."  17/ JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID TO HIM, "BLESSED ARE YOU, SIMON BAR-JONAH, FOR FLESH AND BLOOD (THE CARNAL MIND OR HUMAN INTELLECT) HAS NOT REVEALED THIS TO YOU, BUT MY FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN.

PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL REVELATION KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, & UNDERSTANDING

Ephesians 1:13-23 NIV  

13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised

Holy Spirit,

14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

Thanksgiving and Prayer

15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[a] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
 

Foot notes

[a] Ephesians 1:17 Or a spirit

IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, JESUS CHRIST THE LORD, WE PRAY FOR YOU TO RECEIVE REVELATION KNOWLEDGE OF WHO JESUS IS, AND THAT YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCRIPTURES BE OPENED UP MORE & MORE AS YOU SEEK HIM EVERY DAY.  AMEN.
