Hi Oseas! Thanks for the response. The scriptures say, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God . . . And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." (John 1:1, 2, 14) The Word here, who is both God and with God, and who was in the beginning with God, was made flesh and dwelt among us, is Jesus. Of this, He says, "Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was." (John 17:5).
In Revelation, where we read of Christ's coming, it is written, "And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God." (Revelation 19:13).
So it is the Son, not the Father, who is called the Word.
Irenaeus, who learned from the apostle John's student Polycarp, relates, "So then the Father is Lord and the Son is Lord, and the Father is God and the Son is God; for that which is begotten of God is God. And so in the substance and power of His being there is shown forth one God; but there is also according to the economy of our redemption both Son and Father." (The Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching, 47).
And again, “But there is one only God, the Creator—He who is above every Principality, and Power, and Dominion, and Virtue: He is Father, He is God, He the Founder, He the Maker, He the Creator, who made those things by Himself, that is, through His Word and His Wisdom—heaven and earth, and the seas, and all things that are in them . . . He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: through His Word, who is His Son, through Him He is revealed and manifested to all to whom He is revealed; for those [only] know Him to whom the Son has revealed Him. But the Son, eternally co-existing with the Father, from of old, yea, from the beginning, always reveals the Father to Angels, Archangels, Powers, Virtues, and all to whom He wills that God should be revealed.” (Against Heresies, 2.30.9; for eternal coexistence, see also 4.6.2)
Hi Brian
Greetings in Christ JESUS
I enjoyed your reply, and I remembered of the Word of GOD was given to the prophet Hosea who said-chap.6:v.2-3: - 2 After two days (two thousand years) will He revive us: in the third Day (after the end of 2.000 years) He will raise us up (1 Thes.4:v.15-17), and we shall live in His sight. 3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord:
Yes, in the beginning, i.e. in JESUS, was the Word-
GOD the Father (John 10:v.38), and the Word was with GOD, i.e. GOD the Father was with JESUS
(John 16:v.32- the Father is with me), and the Word was GOD.
(No man hath seen GOD at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him-John 1:v.18). As you quoted "the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and Truth." (John 1:1, 2, 14)"
In Revelation, where we read of Christ's coming, it is written, "And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God." (Revelation 19:13).
So it is the Son, not the Father, who is called the Word.
We can do nothing against the Truth, but for the Truth-(2Cor.13:v.8). Analyzing more deeply the above description. The Scripture you quoted is about the current time of Apocalypse, you suggest be JESUS, the GOD's Son, this sounds strange because was/is the own JESUS who spoke those words or that verse; so, it is as if JESUS were talking that no one knows His name but himself. This sounds strange, doesn't it?
We cannot be separated the verse 13 from prior verse 12, that says "he has a NAME written (written in the Word of GOD, course), that no MAN knew, but he himself. Here is a mystery, something not revealed. I'm sure this person is not JESUS. Why I say this? I say this because the NAME of JESUS was not/is not unknown in these last 2.000 years, quite the opposite, the name of JESUS was/is known of men(Matt.24:v.14), and of the angels(Hebrews 1:v.6), and also of the demons(Acts 19:v. 15-17).
I'm sure that he which has a written NAME that no MAN knows is the angel of the Lord who was with Moses in the mount Sinai under GOD's name, as an ambassador (Acts 7:v.30-32), later the same was with Joshua (Joshua 5:v.13-15). By the way, when "Pharaoh took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them"-Exodus 14:v.7- , and they persecuted the Hebrews, then this angel of GOD, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
You mentioned Rev. 19:v.13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Yes, Isaiah prophesied about this warrior- Isaiah 63. He is a lord too, GOD sends him as an ambassador(Jeremiah 49:v.14 and Obadiah 1:v.1). As is above described, he protected the Hebrews of the Egyptians, this angel (in my understanding un archangel) saved them: In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. Isa.63:v.9. But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their ENEMY, and he fought against them-Isa.63:v.10 , yeah, this warrior fough even against Hebrews, against them that were rebells.
It is he who is mentioned in Revelation 19, who has a NAME that no MAN knows, but he himself. Who does not know the NAME of Jesus, the Son of God?
