Today's bible study will look at the many goings forth of the Lord Jesus. Micah declared that Jesus has been going forth from of old, from everlasting and said at Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah (house of bread and a place of fruitfulness), though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He (Jesus) come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. Note that the KJV bible correctly states that Jesus is the everlasting God and called I AM THAT I AM. Only preach and study from a 1611 KJV bible. False translated NIV, ESV, And RSV bibles deny that Jesus is the everlasting God where Micah 5:2 says Jesus' origins are from of old, from ancient times.
According to Micah 5:2, Jesus has been existing and going forth before the earth was created, from of old, from everlasting. Before the heavens and earth were created, before there was light and darkness, before there was a sun or a moon, and before anything, the Lord Jesus existed. Jesus always has been, always is, always will be, and there's never been a time when He wasn't. Jesus is the eternal everlasting God of this universe. Jesus Himself said at Revelation 1:8 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 (note that the Greek definition for Almighty is God where Jesus Himself proclaimed that He is God). Tell every Muslim that says Jesus did not say he is God to study Revelation 1:8 where Jesus Himself said that He is Almighty God.
Romans 10:9 says to get saved a person must confess that Jesus is God proven by Micah 5:2 and Revelation 1:8. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Jehovah Witnesses, Muslims, and Jews who deny that Jesus is God are not saved. We must love and pray for these lost sinners and hope that they confess that Jesus is God and get saved.
Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning,
Confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel,
That Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again
Lets look at some of the first goings forth of the Lord Jesus that occurred when Jesus who is the Word of God created this earth. According to John 1:1 pictured above Jesus who is the Word of God that was with God in the beginning went forth from God's mouth to create the earth. Every time God said anything in Genesis Chapter 1, the Word Jesus created everything. Colossians 1:16 says For by Him (Jesus) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.
John 1:1 says 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. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. Revelation 19:13 confirms that Jesus who is the Word is God saying And He (Jesus) was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God.
One of the first goings forth of Jesus occurred when Jesus was the spoken Word from God's mouth to create light. When God said at Genesis 1:3 pictured above Let there be light: and there was light, the Word Jesus went forth from God's mouth and the Word Jesus made light.
Take time to meditate on the following scriptures that prove that Jesus always existed and is God before the earth existed. According to John 17:5 Jesus said And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. According to this blessed scripture, before the world existed, Jesus was with the Father and they were both glorified together.
Now lets move down several verses to John 17:24 where Jesus said Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. Jesus proclaimed that He existed before the earth was created and that the Father loved Him before the foundation of the world.
Jesus was foreordained before the foundation of the world to redeem sinners with His own precious sinless blood shed at the cross of Calvary to free us from the bondage of sin. 1 Peter 1:18 says Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you. Redeem means to recover something by paying a price. The Lord Jesus paid the ransom price demanded by God for the release of sinners with His own precious blood that bought back and delivered sinners from the captivity and punishment of hell and the lake of fire.
Pictured above we see another going forth of Jesus when Jesus who is the spoken Word from God's mouth created the sun and the moon. Genesis 1:14 says And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: He made the stars also.
My good friend Sonny Mull described how Jesus who is the spoken Word of God created the sun and moon. Sonny said that before there was a sun in the sky, God had a Son by His side and sent forth Jesus to place the sun in the sky along with the moon. Then the Word Jesus went forth and placed the stars in the sky. And then the Word Jesus went forth and created Adam and Eve along with the animals.
When Jesus walked on this earth He told everyone that He existed before the earth was created at John 6:62. What and if ye shall see the Son of Man ascend up where He was before? Jesus said when I rise after my death, I'll rise to be with my Father where I was before the earth existed. Then Jesus confirmed again that He existed before the earth was created by stating at John 8:58 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM. Again Jesus proclaimed that He is God by saying He is the I AM God that appeared to Moses at the burning bush.
When the Lord Jesus walked on this earth, the Lord Jesus was also at the same time in heaven. John 3:13 says And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He (Jesus) that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Like the Lord Jesus, saved christians are on the earth and at the same time seated together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4 says But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace ye are saved; And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:20 says For our conversation (note that the Greek definition for conversation is citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself. Saved saints' spirits and souls currently are citizens in heaven while their bodies are on earth. Therefore saved saints' bodies, souls, and spirits are looking simultaneously from earth and heaven for the soon return of our Lord Jesus during the rapture. My good friend Bill Grady said "Our looking for Jesus is a bilocation phenomenon of being in two places simultaneously; while we look for Jesus down here, we also look for Jesus up there."
Lets move on to the next going forth of our Lord Jesus that proves that Jesus existed when the earth was being created. According to Job, the Lord Jesus went forth singing and shouting for joy as the bright morning star when the Father laid the foundations of the earth. Job 38:4 says Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone (who is Jesus) thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Jesus said at Revelation 22:16 I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. Isaiah 14:12 in the KJV bible says How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer (devil), son of the morning (not morning star incorrectly stated in the NIV perverted translation; Jesus (not the devil) is the bright morning star at Revelation 22:16). Therefore only study from a KJV bible instead of any modern translated bible.
Take time to look at the conversation that the Father had with His Son Jesus when the Father called His Son Jesus God whose throne is for ever and ever that existed before the earth was created. Tell lost sinners that deny that Jesus is God Hebrews 1:8 where the Father called His Son Jesus God. But unto the Son He (The Father) saith, Thy throne, O God (the Father called His Son Jesus God), is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Also note that when the Lord Jesus walked on this earth, He was also in heaven at the same time confirming that Jesus is God. The KJV bible correctly quotes Jesus at John 3:13. And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Note that all the false translated bible versions (NIV, ESV, RSV, and the New King James Version with a corrupt footnote) all deny that Jesus is God who coexisted at the same time in heaven and on earth. John 3:13 in the corrupt RSV translation says No one has ascended into heaven but He who descended from heaven, the Son of man.
Only preach and study from a 1611 KJV bible. The devil's first place of attack is against the infallible 1611 KJV bible by creating hundreds of false translated bibles to stop people from getting saved. This is because God's Word is exalted above the name of Jesus. Psalm 138:2 says I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy Word above all thy name. Remember that the first thing the devil attacked was the Word of God when the devil told Eve at Genesis 3:1 Yea, hath God said.
And during the great white throne judgment, this current heavens and earth will flee away from the face of Jesus and there will be no place for them. Revelation 20:11 says And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it (Jesus), from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. Jesus is so powerful that when He just looks at the billions of stars and infinite galaxies, they immediately will disappear.
2 Peter 3:10 says But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
And note that when all the lost sinners that ever lived who rejected the Lord Jesus will stand before Judge Jesus at the great white throne judgment, they will be standing on nothing in eternity where our Lord Jesus dwells according to Isaiah 57:15. The lake of fire will exist though at the great white throne judgment because God is a consuming fire according to Hebrews 12:29, and all the unbelievers that rejected Jesus will be cast into the lake of fire. God's consuming fire won't harm saved saints because Isaiah 43:2 says When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
After the great white throne judgment, the Lord Jesus will create new (infinite) heavens and a new earth with the new Jerusalem where the saved saints will live forever. Isaiah 66:22 says For as the new (infinite) heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. Revelation 21:1 says And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
