TPW 65 The Full Deity of Christ in Response to the Hebrew Roots Movement

Welcome to the Protestant Witness. This is Pastor Patrick Hines here at Grotto Heights Presbyterian Church and Today, I'm gonna do a special program in response to an email I got from an old friend back in the the homeland up there in Ohio.

And.

The Hebrew Roots Movement and Recycled Heresy

Evidently, he's got a family or that have Been sucked into the Hebrew Roots Movement, and I don't want to get into all the details with that. I've had a few dust-ups with Hebrew Roots folks and I had a guy Trying to tell me that the whole New Testament was written in Aramaic and he actually recommended The Aramaic English New Testament to me and Looked at the editor Andrew Gabriel Roth.

Lo and behold. It's civilianism. It's modalism. It's the nation heresy. Denies the Trinity denies the deity of Christ.

Wow, what a shock.

There really there really isn't much new in terms of insights that people come up with these days so usually when people latch on to things like this, it's just Recycled old heresy and that's exactly what this is.

And so we're getting you know, some some bizarre arguments here this fellow Forwarded me a discussion thread From this guy who's trying his best to deny the full deity of Christ. Which is a shame because if you have a Jesus who is something less than God Then you have a Jesus that cannot save you but from reading through this email a couple times in preparation to do this.

It doesn't seem like he believes he needs a Savior anyway because he keeps the Sabbath and Keeps the dietary laws. So I guess he's going to heaven. Yeah, we're justification by keeping the Sabbath and keeping the dietary laws there's there's an interesting biblical concept that's not true.

But let's go ahead and just plow through some of this. This is some of this is pretty standard civilian modalistic Argumentation. This is stuff that Christians refuted 1 ,700 years ago, but like all the other errors and heresies.

Christological heresies. Trinitarian heresies. They just resurface under new names this is just the Hebrews movement and I remember thinking as soon as that guy forwarded me the Aramaic English New Testament and he Was trying to defend dietary laws.

And I mean, it's I mean seriously, you can just like push play on these people and what they start saying Acts chapter 11 Peter kill and eat. Peter kill and eat. What is that talking about? Oh, that's not lifting the dietary restrictions.

Oh, no. No, no. He's just making an illustration. So he would he would know that Gentiles can come into the church now. Really that's all he's doing. What about what about when Paul rebuked Peter? In Galatians chapter 2 remember that when he rebuked him.

Because he withdrew from table fellowship with Gentiles and Paul's like hey, man I've seen you eat BLT sandwiches before bacon lettuce and tomato. You've done it before. So, why are you trying to force Gentiles to live like Jews, etc, etc because the dietary restrictions have been repealed.

Oh, no, no, no. No, he's just trying to teach him about the inclusion of Gentiles. Blah blah blah. It's just not faithful to the text of Scripture. This is what happens when people deny sola scriptura.

They can't read the Bible. The Bible makes no sense to him and what it says is irrelevant now in this email that I was sent here a lot of things are said here and My friend said I've thrown verses his way, but he retorts with Greek and Hebrew Translations and says they don't mean what the English have made it to mean and how we understand it today very common.

Jehovah's Witnesses do the same thing. I have never met a Jehovah's Witness that actually knew anything about the original languages. And my suspicion here having plowed through this this email is that this guy doesn't know anything about the original languages either.

They'll memorize a few arguments, but the fact is they've never studied the languages. So they really don't know anything about syntax about Lexicography that nothing they don't know anything about the languages they have there, you know you hear an argument you turn your brain off and push play and then here here comes the You know stuff about John 1 1 and well, yeah, Yahweh is the only true God.

So that must mean that he's Unitarian. That's the assumption that we put behind everything and you just think no. That's not an assumption that you can make the passages. Do not say that. So let's uh, let's read.

I'm gonna read through some of this and I'm gonna go into some more detail about Why Christians have always believed in the full deity of the Lord Jesus Christ and believed that Jesus Christ is Yahweh.

Not that Jesus is the father. That's one thing, you know, Jehovah's Witnesses have been in my house five times in the last six years. And what they always say the same thing? Well, the Bible says that Jesus is the Son of God not that he's God and I've always said the same thing.

All you just proved is that the Son is not the Father. We don't believe that Jesus is the Father. But that's just it just doesn't compute because once you've bought the assumption of Unitarianism. The Bible doesn't make any sense at all.

It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Okay, so let's uh, let's see if there's anything original here. He says people seem to talk a lot about who God is mainstream Christians say Jesus is God. Buddhists say God is in everyone in India God is a certain man-made statue or a certain man-made picture in whatever temple somewhere, but they're all wrong.

Let me publish the answer so you can know here it is Isaiah 40 28. Have you not known? Have you not heard? Yahweh is the everlasting God the creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary.

Is that supposed to be a news to us? We are monotheists. Yahweh is the only true God indeed. What does that have to do with? Jesus not being God nothing. It's just what's the assumption every time the word Yahweh is used.

What is the presupposition? What's the assumption because they don't believe in soul scripture and they've already bought this external authority. That's telling them what to believe outside of Scripture every time the word Yahweh is used.

He can only be one person. He can only be one person. That's just an assumption everywhere. The term is used. It's just one person. God cannot be a Tri unity of persons that is the assumption and that's not a biblical assumption.

Sorry.

Okay.

The Greek phrase there is logos and Theos Word in God, I guess is that a quotation from the Septuagint? Theos translates to the English word Divine which more specifically means from God. Okay, so this is exactly the testimony about him that he was sent to earth and made into flesh By his father to do his father's will and not his own.

Yeah, let's zoom in on Genesis 1 for a second. If you cross-reference John 1 1 with the Septuagint you'll find the Greek Theos is Interchangeable with the Hebrew word Elohim. That's right. Genesis 1 1 and John 1 1 are identical at least the opening words are nrk and halakha's right there and In the Septuagint, I mean John 1 1 in the New Testament nrk and halakha's kai halakha's and prostante on kai Theos Ain't halakha's the the first few words there in the beginning.

That's a mirror directly from the Septuagint Translation of barak sheet Barah Elohim Hashem. I am why it's the first words that are used there Are translated exactly the same way nrk in the beginning.

That's right. Okay, let's see. As far as English goes Elohim is improperly called a name for God but used only as a loose-fitting title. But that's that's actually true. Elohim is just the generic Hebrew word for God.

I mean Dagon is the Elohim of the Philistines. Okay, the word Elohim is not a proper title. That's not the covenantal name for God. Elohim is simply the generic Hebrew word for God now. Sometimes it does refer to the one true God in Genesis 1 1 in Hebrew barak sheet Barah Elohim.

Barak sheet Barah Elohim. Okay in the beginning God created that is talking about the true God. But Elohim is not the covenantal name. The covenant name of God is Yahweh. Okay, for example, the God whose name is Yahweh is titled the Elohim of Elohim the God of gods right in Deuteronomy 10 17.

That's true. And it's also irrelevant to what we're talking about. Now, do you remember when the soul of Samuel? That's right. The soul Samuel is the term Elohim is used there quite quite true. What does that have to do with Jesus?

Nothing? Same word in Genesis 1. What does that have to do with Jesus not being God? Nothing that angels and demons are called Elohim. Right. What does it have to do with Jesus not being God? Nothing?

Again, same word in Genesis 1 that Moses was Elohim to Pharaoh true exact same word Elohim. That is true, and that's irrelevant to the issue before us. So this title is on quite a lot of different resumes.

This makes it so you can't say Elohim refers exclusively to the only God whose name is Yahweh. And I would say what could be more obvious, of course. Who's saying that? The name on God's resume is Yahweh not Elohim.

Well, that's an interesting way the name on his resume. I think that the proper way of putting that is the the covenantal name of God is Yahweh. That's how God has revealed himself covenantally to his people.

And like it says in the prophets is Zechariah 14 9 and Yahweh will be king over all the earth on that day Yahweh will be one in his name one. That's true. And that's irrelevant. And then he says but you make his name to be three.

No, we don't.

No, we don't. We say that within the nature of the one true God. There are three persons because that's how the scriptures reveal it to us. We have to believe that because that's how the Bible teaches it to us.

Anyway, are you saying the English word God is interchangeable with the Hebrew word Elohim? It's a valid gloss for the word Elohim. Yeah. We're not saying that everywhere where the word Elohim is used it refers to the one true God though.

And here here's the shocking thing. Here's the thing that that is obvious and should be obvious.

Context.

Context tells you how the words being used. Okay, so when Elohim is used to describe Dagon the Elohim of the Philistines, that's obviously not the true God. Okay, but in Genesis 1 1 it is a true God where he threw our Elohim.

In the beginning God created the heavens near so.

Context.

Determines how the terms being used. Because if you are that's essentially what the translators thought too and really that only helps my point and it's a big deal. Okay, whoever this is no translators have ever thought that.

No Trent no Hebrew translators have ever thought that the word Elohim means the covenant God of Israel everywhere. It's used that's that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. No Hebrew scholar would ever make it a mistake that big.

Okay, I mean you learn that in the first two weeks of first-year Hebrew. Okay, that's absurdity. I mean, what would he say? That's essentially what the translators thought too. That's ridiculous. No translators have thought that.

No translators I've ever thought that. And In John 10 Christ points out that the scripture calls us the same word Elohim to which the Word of God came. That's that's a really a really bad Misunderstanding of John 10 and its use of some.

Jesus's use of Psalm 82 on this use there. It's difficult passage to interpret, but I'm not even sure what you're saying. He uses the word Elohim to refer. He uses the term Elohim to refer to the unjust judges that Psalm 82 is pronouncing judgment against.

Okay.

So the word Elohim from Genesis 1 has a whole slew of separate and distinct beings that fit the title Elohim in Hebrew. Yes, that's true. And what could be more obvious? What does that have to do with Jesus being God or not being God?

Nothing. And Even any person to whom the Word of God has come which is even both you and I. But there's only one God whose title is Elohim of Elohim and his name is one. His name is Yahweh. That's true and that your assumption is Unitarianism and that's what all Sibelians and all Heretics that hold this this ancient heresy of modalism have always said his name is one not three.

There's only one God not three gods. I am a monotheist and Christian people who have affirmed the deity of Christ from the very beginning all the way way back in the New Testament the early church fathers Ignatius of Antioch and his genuine epistles refers to Jesus Christ 14 times as quote our God end quote.

Okay, everyone from the beginning has believed in the full deity of Jesus Christ. That doesn't mean that we think there's three gods. Okay, it's just it's just funny. You make his name three not one. No, he has one name Yahweh.

Okay, I cannot believe that just because Christ is Elohim that makes him part of some mysterious unexplained Godhead of three and that I must worship Christ for being part of this unexplainable mystery.

No, you worship Christ because that's what the New Testament teaches us to do. Okay, look at a Revelation chapter 4 they worship the Lamb. Okay in Matthew 14 33 when Jesus calms the storm what the disciples do they fall down in the boat and they give proscuno Worship to Jesus and he doesn't he doesn't say no.

No. No, you worship Yahweh. Not me. Not me. He accepts it in Matthew 28 they worshiped him and he doesn't stop them. He doesn't rebuke them now when John falls down at the foot of the angel in the book of Revelation.

What does the angel say? No, no, don't do that. Don't do that worship God. But when people fall down and worship Jesus, he accepts it. Why. Because he is Yahweh. He is God the Son and that's what Christians have always believed because that's what the New Testament teaches very clearly as we're going to see Here it's not some mysterious unexplained Godhead of three.

That's that's just rhetoric without meaning that that's so typical of this perspective of Sibelians and modalists from the beginning from 1 ,700 years ago same old argument same old nonsense. You worship Jesus Christ because Jesus is God as we're gonna see here in just a moment.

Okay, it only means the English translators use the English word God Interchangeably with the Hebrew word Elohim and that is extremely helpful to recognize that. No, the the English word God is what the word Elohim means but the Context in which it's used determines what it was referring to.

Okay, because that's how language is read you look at it in its context. Otherwise you have to acknowledge that anyone and everyone in the Bible who was called Elohim must be part of the Godhead only if you've never heard of.

Context.

Context tells you how words are being used. Okay, which would make many more than three in the Godhead doctrine, which is something you or I or anyone for that matter sincerely believes. Therefore it's easy to see how Hebrew would read John 1 1 in their own language.

Because of the evidence in the Septuagint John 1 1 could read like this. The word was Elohim, but that's not what it says. Okay, Kaithaos Ein Halagos is what's called a predicate nominative. Okay, they're both in the nominative case.

Halagos has a definite article. It is joined together with a linking verb of the imperfect form of Aimi. Thaos is a qualitative predicate nominative. The word is Divine not that doesn't mean as you said earlier from God.

Okay, it doesn't mean from God. There is a perfectly valid way of saying that you could say Pras or you could say ek from God or something like that. But you would not say Kaithaos Ein Halagos. That means the word was God.

Okay, that means that what what God is by nature. So is the word I mean the the verse is beautiful NRK Ein Halagos in the beginning was the word Kai Halagos Ein Pras Tan Thayon and the word was with Tan Thayon meaning the father so you have two subsistences here two persons in view here and The word was God.

By nature, it's a qualitative predicate nominative syntactically, that's what it is. Okay. Now you've memorized some stuff that your false teachers have have poured into your brain. But you don't know anything about Greek grammar.

Okay qualitative predicate nominative Kaithaos Ein Halagos and the word was God. Okay, what God the father is the word is by nature. Okay, and that's what Hebrews 1 3 says as well. That's the the Sun is the exact character of the who pasta see us the nature.

The nature of the father not that he's like him or from him or similar, but he has the identical nature. Identical nature. Okay. He is the brightness of Yahweh's glory. Abba God's my taste Doc's ace. Okay, and the exact representation of his nature who pasta see us taste character.

Exact.

Representation of his nature nature who pasta see us. All right. Now, maybe maybe who pasta see us doesn't mean nature. But that's what every lexicon that I've ever read says. The Athanasian Creed is based on Hebrews 1 3.

Then I seen Creed Hebrews 1 3 he is the character of the who pasta see us. The nature of God the father. Identical nature. So there are there are three Persons within the one true and living God. Okay, let's let's press on here.

I Think you should be more fair to the movement and not discount us so quickly. Well There's nothing original in your arguments here. Everything that you said here was refuted by Christians Almost 2 ,000 years ago.

Okay, there's nothing original name this. This is the same standard horrifically bad Analysis of Scripture based on a Unitarian assumption that your cult is feeding you. I'm only associated with them because I keep the commandments like Sabbath and clean eating and people just lump me in with them because we Have those things in common, but in the judgment, I'll be answering for me not for the Hebrew Roots movement.

That's scary to me. Because you know who's gonna be answering for me at the judgment. Jesus Christ my surety my Savior. So you really think keeping commandments like the Sabbath and clean eating? Is that gonna get you into heaven and the judgment you'll be answering you'll be answering for yourself.

I want to assure you you will not stand on the judgment. You need the shed blood and the righteousness of the God-man of the Savior of the world. So this is the thing that's totally missing completely missing from this email.

I'm wondering what do you even think the gospel is? How can I as a sinner be right with God? By keeping dietary laws by keeping the Sabbath. Is that how we do it? We justify ourselves by our own law-keeping.

It's amazing. You see once you have a Jesus who is something less than Yahweh. You have a Jesus that cannot save you. What does Jesus become then the example? He just sets a good example and we follow his example and we we keep the Passover and we go back to Old Testament types.

And shadows and hopefully by keeping those commands, you know. Hopefully we can I guess sort of tip the balance in our favor and end up in heaven. See all heretical forms of Christianity. They're all the same.

I mean whether you call it monophysitism where you call it eutychianism, apollinarianism, Sabellianism, modalism this this stuff. It's all the same. It's always a false gospel. It's always how do you get to heaven by keeping the Old Testament dietary laws or the Sabbath or or whatever?

How are you made right with God? Well, you don't have a Jesus that can save you. You see the scriptures teach us to watch out for this to watch out for false Jesus's. Okay, listen to what scripture says Paul says in 2nd Corinthians 11 3.

But I fear less somehow as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness. So your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ for if he who comes preaches Another Jesus whom we have not preached or if you receive a different spirit Which you have not received or a different gospel, which you have not accepted.

You may well put up with it. There are other Jesus's. Yeah, there's the Jesus of the Sabellians who is From God and Similar to God but not God not God. He's like the Jehovah's Witnesses say the Archangel Michael.

Um, there's the Jesus of the Jehovah's Witnesses one God among many gods. One God among many gods. There's the Jesus of the Unitarian Universalist who is just a really really really really really nice guy Who taught people to be nice and be moral?

There's the Jesus of the mind science cults who is an advanced medium. There's a Jesus of the Sabellians who is Just a representative. He's he's he's from God, but not God. I need to he's not part of some mysterious Three and one or something like that.

I mean we've heard all this before it's just old recycled heresy.

Okay.

Sad stuff.

Okay.

To do all right. Mm-hmm. What more is there to say. All right. He says you have made Christ your idol. Exactly how the ancient Israelites made the bronze snake their idol during King Hezekiah's reign.

Christ even said the Son of Man will be lifted up like the snake in the wilderness.

Huh?

The point is lifted up on the cross. That's what he's talking about in John chapter 3 when he says that to Nicodemus. Okay, he's not saying I'll be lifted up like an idol. What are you saying? What do you say are you saying Jesus is predicting how people are gonna like idolize him or something.

That's not ex-jesus. That is a Twisting of our Lord's words there of my Lord's words there in John chapter 3. That's that's horrendous. And now you just like wicked Israel have need of a king like Hezekiah a king to destroy your idolatry.

Wow, okay, so that's uh, that's about the. That's that that's the end of the of the okay. So let's uh, let's look at the biblical text here a little bit and look at what it teaches about the deity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The One True God in the Old Testament

One of the things that we have to lay the groundwork for first here when it comes to the blessed doctrine of the Trinity is.

That.

There's only one true God. A few things are clearer in the Old Testament Deuteronomy 435 to you. It was shown that you might know that the Lord himself is God. There is none other besides him.

Excuse me.

Deuteronomy 6 for here Israel the Lord our God the Lord is one. Isaiah 43 10 you are my witnesses says the Lord and my servant whom I have chosen that you may know and believe me and Understand that I am he before me.

There was no God formed nor shall there be after me. Isaiah 44 6 thus says the Lord the King of Israel and his Redeemer Yahweh Taba oath the Lord of hosts. I am the first and I am the last. I am the first and I am the last.

You know, there's someone else someone else said that about themselves. That would be Jesus in Revelation 117. And that was that was Yahweh there in Isaiah 44 6 thus says Yahweh King of Israel and his Redeemer Yahweh Taba oath the Lord of hosts.

I am the first and I am the last besides me there is no God a Revelation 117 when I saw him Jesus I fell at his feet is dead. But he laid his right hand on me saying to me do not be afraid. I am the first and the last.

Thus says Yahweh. I am the first and I'm the last. Jesus says I am the first and I am the last. He's appending a divine title to himself. This is one of hundreds of passages that force us to the conclusion Within the nature of the one true God.

There are three co-equal co-eternal persons. They they they are all said to be worshipped. They are all said to have created the universe all three are co-powerful co-glorious. That's all we believe it.

It's right there in the text of Scripture. But once you've abandoned soul scripture and have embraced an external authority, whatever this cult is that you've gotten into. What the Bible says is irrelevant, but the Bible says will have no effect on you whatsoever.

I assure you Isaiah 45 5 I am Yahweh. There is no other there is no God besides me. I will gird you though. You have not known me. That they may know from the rising of the Sun to its setting that there is no none besides me.

I am Yahweh and there is no other. Okay here now you said that We've made Jesus Into our idol. Look listen, listen, you said you have made Christ your idol. Exactly how the ancient Israelites made the bronze snake their idol okay, um, listen to a Thomas after he sees the resurrected Christ.

Okay, listen, listen to the the text of Scripture, you know. You you sound like you you claim to know Greek. So I'll go ahead and read it to you in Greek up a Chris a Thomas Kaepernick out. Oh, ha kurios.

Moo. Kai. Ha phaos. Moo and Thomas answered and said to him Ha kurios. Moo. My lord, you know what kurios is? Kurios is the Greek translation of the word Yahweh in the Greek septuagint. Ha kurios. Moo.

My lord Kai, ha phaos. Moo and my god so Thomas worshipped Jesus as Jehovah as Yahweh. Ha kurios. Moo. Kai. Ha phaos. Moo. My lord and my god now. Well, he's making Jesus into an idol. What would you expect Jesus to say here?

No, no, no, no. No, you've got it all wrong. I'm not y 'all. Hey, I'm not God. What are you talking about? Thomas stand up on your feet you worship God you worship Yahweh. He's the only God because we have to assume unitarianism.

He doesn't. What does Jesus do he congratulates him? Jesus said to him because you have seen me. Have you believed blessed are they who did not see and yet Believed Thomas worshipped Jesus as Yahweh. Ha kurios.

Moo. Kai. Ha phaos. Moo. My lord and my god. He called him. Okay a few more passages here. We can go on and on and on and on from the Old Testament God, there's only one true God Yahweh is that God, okay?

There are three persons. However within the nature of the one true God the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit Matthew 3 16 and 17 there you have the entire Trinity in view at the baptism of Jesus. And when he had been baptized Jesus came up immediately from the water and behold the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God.

Descending like a dove and alighting upon him and suddenly a voice came from heaven. This is my beloved Son and whom I'm. Well, please you have all three persons right there. Matthew 11 27 all things have been delivered to me by my father and no one knows the Son except the Father.

Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal him. Okay, and on and on we could go here, etc. Alright, let's look at some clear passages. About of the deity of Jesus Christ himself.

All right. Colossians 2 9. I'd be fascinated to hear your exegesis of Colossians 2 9. Okay for in him all the fullness of deity dwells in bodily form. For in Christ all. The fullness of deity dwells in bodily form.

What was it? You said? Oh, it just means he's from God. He just came from God. All the fullness of deity a top play. Roma tastes they are. Taita's somaticos.

All.

The fullness pawn top play Roma all the fullness tastes they are Taita's of the Godhead of deity. That's what they are. Taita's means divine nature deity somaticos dwells in bodily form. How you gonna exegete that one.

Well because we assume Unitarianism so it's not allowed to mean that right. Is that is that the way we do this? Okay, look at Hebrews 1. Hebrews 1 1 2 and 3 another key key passage. God after many. After he spoke long ago to the fathers and the prophets In many portions and in many ways and these last days have spoken to us and his son whom he appointed heir of all things Through whom also he made the world and he is the radiance of his glory and the exact representation of his nature.

Okay.

At our gossam a taste docs a sky character tastes who pasta ceos al to the exact Representation of his nature. That's what who pasta ceos means. What does a pasta ceos mean? I just means he's from God.

Who pasta ceos. Who pasta ceos means? Substance.

Nature.

What is Jesus? He is the nature of God. Not that he's like God similar to God from God. He is God. Is God. The carakter tastes who pasta ceos al to. It's right there. Black ink on white paper. Unless you have a presupposition that says Unitarianism must be true.

Jesus can't be God. He can't he can't be. I Wonder do you pray to Jesus? Do you pray to Jesus? Do you pray to him? Stephen did. And they went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said Lord Jesus received my spirit.

Do you pray to Jesus?

I do.

Stephen did.

Do you?

I've never met a Modalist that did because I don't supposed to pray to Yahweh. You only worship Yahweh and Yahweh is only the father. But Jesus is Yahweh. Thomas worshiped him as my lord and my God Koryasmu kaihathayasmu my lord and my God not my representative of God my Guy that came from God representing him so closely that he can even bear these titles, but it doesn't really mean that I mean Those are the kinds of arguments that have been used for centuries and they're just as bogus and fallacious now as they've ever been.

There's another a good one Titus 2 13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. That's what's called the Granville sharp construction the Granville sharp construction great God and Savior substantive.

Kai substantive. Yeah article goes substantive. Kai substantive they refer to the same person God and Savior now for the longest time modalists like yourself would say no no no God means the father and Savior is Jesus Christ.

No, God and Savior to Megalo. They you Kai Soteros. Hey moan. Yes, you Christ do the great God and Savior Jesus Christ both of those both of those refer to Yesu Christu God and Savior. Do you call him that?

Do you call him God and Savior? Let's see John 12 39. 1239 is another one. That's a real problem for our modalist friends John 12 39 for this reason they could not believe for Isaiah said again Verse 40 he has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart so that they would not see with their eyes and Perceive with their heart and be converted and I heal them.

These things Isaiah said because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

Hmm.

Okay, Isaiah chapter 6. Isaiah chapter 6. That's what I that's what John 12 41 is referring to here. Isaiah chapter 6 is Isaiah's vision of Yahweh high and lifted up in the temple. Yeah, Yahweh. In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw Yahweh.

I saw the Lord Sitting high high and lifted up. I don't I the Lord? I don't know. It's not Yahweh there. It's I don't know. High and lifted up and his robe filled the train of the temple. Seraphim stood above him each having six wings with two.

He covered his face with two. He covered his feet with two. He flew. And then you have the holy, holy holy is The Lord of hosts. And there you have not I don't I but Yahweh Yahweh and saw the oath the Lord of hosts.

The whole earth is full of his glory. And John chapter 12 says Isaiah was talking about.

Jesus.
