IS THE TRINITY TRUE? (Part 0.16) INTRO TO THE SON OF MAN

2 Comments

Before we look further at the Spirit of GOD revealed as a Co-Equal Partner in the Triune Nature of GOD, I want to show you the Son of Man revealed prophetically on the pages of scripture and Who is revealing His Coming to us and the way in which He does it.

In this post as a Intro into the discussion on the Son of Man, I am providing you several prophetic passages of scripture for you to review.

After you read the passages, I want you to ask yourself the following questions… (listed beneath the verse or verses).

This is called, “Building Up a Family of Text from a p’shat level (literal reading only) of the text!

GOD IS ASKING A FEW QUESTIONS OF US… LET’S ANSWER HIM?

Let’s look at the p’shat on PROVERBS 30:1-6…

Proverbs 30 is difficult to date exactly because Agur son of Jakeh is otherwise unknown. It is most likely written/collected hundreds of years before Jesus; possibly around 700–500 BC, meaning about 500–700 years before Christ.

However, If Agur was near the Solomonic wisdom era, Proverbs 30 could be about 900–1000 years before Christ.

Looking at verse 4- Who gather’s the wind in His fists? Who has the power to bind the waters in a garment?

What is His Name?

What is His Son’s Name?

Who is giving us this prophecy approx. 1000 years before Christ?

Who is the focus of this Prophetic Word?

Whose Word should we trust about this coming Son?

Who will be a shield for us? Where have we heard this before?

Give me the p’shat on PSALM 2…

PSALMS 2 WAS WRITTEN APPROXIMATELY 1, 000 YEARS BEFORE JESUS — traditionally Davidic

Some modern scholars classify Psalm 2 as a royal psalm from Israel’s monarchy period, often broadly somewhere in the 10th–6th centuries BC, so even with a cautious scholarly range it is still centuries before Christ.

READ THE ENTIRE PSALM FOR CONTEXT AND TELL ME…

Who is speaking?, Who are they speaking to?, Who is being spoken against? Who is speaking in verse 7?

Who is GOD setting upon His Holy Hill in Zion?

Who is speaking in verse 8 and who are they speaking to? In verse 12, Who should be kissed and by whom?

Whose wrath should we fear?

Psalm 2 – A Prophetic Word given approx. another 1000 years before Christ.

What must the nations do to be blessed?

…and WHO is the one coming that will bless them?

And how specifically does He refer to this someone?

Now, MICAH 5:2…

Micah 5:2 was written about 700 years before Christ.

Who is speaking? and Who are they speaking to?

Who is coming forth out of Bethlehem?

And Who is He coming unto?

Who is to be Ruler of israel?

Whose going’s forth have been from old? from EVERLASTING?

700 years before the 1st century AD, one is being foretold, who is coming from Everlasting? Who is the only one in the scriptures spoken of as “EVERLASTING”?

By many infallible proofs, please confirm, “Who bears the title Everlasting?”

Ref: Gen 21:33, Psalm 41:13, 90:2, 93:2, 100:5, 103:17, 106:48…

By many more infallible proofs, please confirm, “Who has an everlasting covenant?“

Ref: Gen 9:16, 17:7, 13, 24:8, 2 Samuel 23:5, 1 Chron 16:17, Psalm 105:10…

So, who is the Everlasting, calling “the Everlasting?“

Is He speaking to Himself, about Himself? or is He speaking to us about One who is to come?

Give me the p’shat on ZECHARIAH 12:10…

Zechariah 12:10 was written about 500 years before Christ, with some scholarly debate over whether Chapters 9–14 were finalized later.

Who is speaking? Who are they speaking to?

Who is He Speaking about?

Who shall mourn for Him? How bitter shall their mourning be?

Who are all of these context clues referring us to, 500 years before Christ is born?

You have received a prophetic Word and confirmation from David, Micah, Zechariah, and Solomon about the soon coming King…

What have you learned so far?

Are you seeing a pattern being revealed from over 1000 years of scripture from four different prophets?

What is the central most important point that scripture is showing us?

What language is being used to point to this central fact?

Is there anyone who has lived so far that fits the description given on the pages of scripture? Has anyone else who fits this description lived before?

What’s the p’shat on PSALM 110:1?

Psalm 110:1 is traditionally dated to David’s lifetime, around 1000 BC, which places it about 1,000 years before Jesus.

Written by: Traditionally, David. The Psalm’s superscription identifies it as “A Psalm of David,” and Jesus refers to David speaking this Psalm “by the Holy Spirit” in Mark 12:36.

Adoni – pronounced ah-Doe- nigh,

—translates to “My LORD”

la’adoni = unto or to My LORD

Who is speaking? Who are they speaking to?

Is the speaker relating something that has happened to a listener?

Who is The LORD?

Who is My LORD?

If the speaker is calling the 3rd Person in the conversation, “My LORD” what is that telling you?

Let’s go through the p’shat on HEBREWS 1:1-6 KJV

Who is speaking? Who is he speaking to?

(V1) Who is he speaking about? Who is he speaking to?

(V2) GOD is speaking to us about who?

(V2) Who did GOD appoint Heir of All Things?

(V2) By whom or through whom is GOD saying, “He also made the worlds?”

(V3) Whose Glory & Image does the Son possess?

(V3) Who purged our sins and sat down by the Right Hand of the Majesty of GOD?

(V4) Who is higher than the angels?

(V5) Did GOD ever say to the angels, “Thou art My Son?”

(V6) Is the Son worthy of worship of the Angels?

Isn’t GOD a Jealous GOD? Why now is it OK to worship someone other than Him?

Or is GOD trying to tell us that the Son is equal to Him in Nature and Character?

2 thoughts on “IS THE TRINITY TRUE? (Part 0.16) INTRO TO THE SON OF MAN”

  1. Proverbs 30:4-5

    1. Who gathers the wind in His fists?
    YHVH / the Lord alone. This describes God’s absolute sovereignty over creation.

    Hebrew: ruacḥ = wind, spirit, breath.
    Cross references: Job 38; Psalm 135:7; Jeremiah 10:13; Isaiah 40:12.

    2. Who binds the waters in a garment?
    YHVH / the Lord alone.

    Hebrew: ṣarar = to bind, wrap up.
    Compare Job 26:8: “He binds up the waters in His thick clouds.”

    3. What is His name?
    His covenant name is YHVH, the God of Israel.

    4. What is His Son’s name?
    The proverb asks a rhetorical question that points beyond human knowledge. From the perspective of the New Testament, believers understand the Son to be Jesus Christ / Yeshua, who is revealed as the eternal Son John 1:1-18; Hebrews 1:1-3. Within the original context, the question invites the reader to acknowledge that only God knows.

    5. Who is giving this prophecy about 1,000 years before Christ?
    The speaker is Agur son of Jakeh Proverbs 30:1. Under divine inspiration, Agur asks questions that anticipate God’s full self-revelation.

    6. Who is the focus of this prophetic word?
    The focus is God Himself and His Son; the Creator who alone rules heaven and earth and whose Son would later be fully revealed.

    7. Whose word should we trust about this coming Son?
    God’s Word alone.
    Immediately after asking about the Son, Proverbs declares:
    “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.” Proverbs 30:5

    This is the answer to the questions: trust God’s revelation, not human speculation.

    8. Who will be a shield for us?
    YHVH.
    1. Psalm 18:30
    2. Genesis 15:1 (“I am your shield.”)
    3. Deuteronomy 33:29

    The Hebrew word māgēn means shield, protector, defender.

    9. Where have we heard this before in Scripture?

    The language echoes several foundational passages:

    1. Genesis 1 – God commands wind and waters.
    2. Genesis 15:1 – “I am your shield.”
    3. Deuteronomy 6:4 – The LORD alone is God.
    4. Job 38–41 – God questions Job about creation, much like Agur’s questions.
    5. Isaiah 40:12 – God measures the waters in the hollow of His hand.
    6. Psalm 18:30 – “His way is perfect… He is a shield.”
    7. John 1:1-3 – The Son is revealed as the Creator.
    8. Hebrews 1:2-3 – God made the worlds through His Son.
    9. Colossians 1:15-17 – All things were created through and for the Son.

    The Pattern

    Agur asks four questions that no human can answer:
    1. Who controls creation?
    2. Who descended and ascended?
    3. What is God’s name?
    4. What is His Son’s name?

    He then immediately answers where certainty is found within the word of God:
    1. Every Word of God is pure.
    2. God is a shield to those who trust Him.

    The pattern I see in Proverbs 30 is from human limitation to divine revelation, directing the reader when they follow the pattern, to trust the Creator and His Word, which Christians hopefully understand reaches its fullest revelation in the Son, Jesus / Yeshua the Messiah. The word of God mixed with belief and action spoken and written changes the way things happen in our situations.
