Who's Driving, Jesus Or His Father Jehovah God?
Question: How many individuals can drive the same car at the same time?
Answer: One, if you want to get anywhere.
Psalms 110: 1 - 5 is a prophetic writing by King David (with double meaning) of which one of those meanings was prophecy of a communication that would take place from Jehovah to his Son Jesus many, many years after it was written. In fact the prophecy would not actually come true for many years after Jesus' resurrection and not completely for a while - even after Jesus is living back in heaven with his Father.
Psalms 110: 1 - 5 (see also Matthew 22: 41 - 46)
Psalms says,
(NWT)
1 The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord is:“Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”
2 The rod of your strength Jehovah will send out of Zion, [saying:]“Go subduing in the midst of your enemies.”
3 Your people will offer themselves willingly on the day of your military force. In the splendors of holiness, from the womb of the dawn, You have your company of young men just like dewdrops.
4 Jehovah has sworn (and he will feel no regret):“You are a priest to time indefinite According to the manner of Mel·chiz´e·dek!”
5 Jehovah himself at your right hand Will certainly break kings to pieces on the day of his anger.
(King James Version) Psalms 110
[1] The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
[2] The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
[3] Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
[4] The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
[5] The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
Based on the above verses - At some point Jehovah (God) intended to let his Son Jesus take the wheel in heaven. That is after Jehovah saw to it that Jesus' enemies were out of the way first.
When was this prophecy actually fulfilled you say?
I'm tired of that 1914 crap you say?
Fine - A specific date, and or time is not important. However, knowing whether or not one is living during a described time, or whether something has actually taken place based upon the signs and/or warnings given is . . . . . .
We know that when Jesus ascended back into heaven after his resurrection - that he went to sit at his Father's right hand, however it would be some time (according to earthly, human measurements of time see 2 nd. Peter 3: 8) before Jesus' enemies were made into a footstool for his feet. Or in other words defeated and kicked out of heaven. There are several scriptures to point out here, but for the sake of time I'll quote: Ephesians 1: 20
Ephesians 1: 20 (NWT)
20 with which he has operated in the case of the Christ when he raised him up from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places
Ephesians 1: 20 (King James)
[20] Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
When Were Jesus' Enemies Kicked Out Of Heaven In Order To Become A Footstool For His Feet?
Let's go back a little bit: While still living on the earth with his disciples, Jesus was asked by them: "“Tell us, When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?” Matt. 24: 3 (NWT)
(KJV) Matt. 24: 3 says, "Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"
Jesus answered them (in part) as follows:
"6 YOU are going to hear of wars and reports of wars; see that YOU are not terrified. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet.
7 “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another.
8 All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.
9 “Then people will deliver YOU up to tribulation and will kill YOU, and YOU will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name.
10 Then, also, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another.
11 And many false prophets will arise and mislead many;
12 and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off.
13 But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.
14 And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. Matthew 24: 6 - 14
Not only has Jesus told his disciples what to look for in order to know that the "end" is near (a different kind of coming), but also the signs to look for that will indicate that Jesus is ruling as King in heaven - thus meaning that his enemies have finally been made a footstool for his feet (aka kicked out of heaven), thus allowing Jesus to TAKE THE WHEEL from his Father Jehovah (leave his right), and drive.
Are We Now Living In The Time Of Jesus Ruling With His Enemies As A Footstool For His Feet?
Yes - We are. Jesus Is Driving!
The earth has been for many years, and is currently experiencing all the things Jesus told his Disciples would happen as mentioned in Matthew 24: 6 - 14
Revelation 12: 12 - (KJV) Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."
But the Devil was kicked out of heaven long before Jesus came to the earth you say!?
Not so!
The Bible Says, Revelation 12: 7 - 12 (KJV)
"[7] And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, [8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
[9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
[10] And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
[11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
[12] Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Verse eleven tells us that this kicking Satan and his Angels (aka Jesus' enemies) out of heaven was made possible - by the blood of the Lamb (aka Jesus' blood), therefore we know that this scene took place sometime after Jesus had died, been resurrected, and had gone back to heaven and sat at his Father (Jehovah's) right hand until the time was right.
So there you have it!
Jesus is driving right now! He is in charge. He is our KING, and Master.
Jesus came for many reasons:
1. He was sent by his Father יהוה
2. To show us what his Father Jehovah is like - Therefore, If you know Jesus, you know the Father.
3. To provide a spiritual resurrection (or awakening of the spiritually dead, those who sleep) with knowledge of truth.
4. To teach us what his Father Jehovah wants from us.
5. To show us how to survive in this world infested by Satan and his Angels until the time for their final destruction comes someday.
6. To someday provide a physical resurrection of the dead (aka those who sleep in death and are in graves) both righteous and unrighteous.
7. To ultimately overcome and conquer death both spiritually and physically caused by sin and separation from God.
Question: Will Jehovah (God) ever take back the wheel?
Answer: Yes, someday.
1st. Corinthians 15: 25 - 28 says,
(NWT)
25 For he must rule as king until [God] has put all enemies under his feet.
26 As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing.
27 For [God] “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that it is with the *exception of the one who subjected all things to him. 28 But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.
1st. Corinthians 15: 25 - 28
(KJV)
[25] For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
[26] The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
[27] For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is *excepted, which did put all things under him.
[28] And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
* exception (meaning) something excepted; an instance or case not conforming to the general rule.
* excepted (meaning) To leave out; exclude:

Hell?
What The h*ll is HELL anyway? Are you going there?
Do you know where the word hell came from? Does the bible really say that "bad" people are all going to a place of no return, where they will be tortured, and tormented for eternity? Does Jehovah God get enjoyment out of torturing his human creation?Has man altered God's word to use it to control people with fear and guilt, ie. hell fire?So, what is HELL anyway?
