Jesus…The God Man of All Eternity!
In order for us to understand the eternal existence of Christ, we need to walk through His life and journey—from the dateless past to the eternal future.
Unfortunately, the Church has always looked at the life of Jesus as beginning at His birth, since that was the time He manifested in human form for our salvation. In last Sunday’s December 11 broadcast, we were able to bring clarity and truth by looking at Jesus’ relationship with us from the eternal past to the eternal future.
Now concerning “the lifespan of Jesus,” we need to joyfully adjust our thinking about Jesus, and what we believe in our minds about Him. God is eternal as Jesus is eternal.
GOLD & GLORY FLASHPOINT 1:
- As the everlasting Person of the Word, Jesus as God, redeemed us first—BEFORE the foundation of the world, billions of years before He was manifested in the earth.
- It is of paramount importance for us to know that Jesus FIRST redeemed us in the dateless past BEFORE all creation. Secondly, we need to understand Jesus’ earthly MISSION of salvation for us. Thirdly, we need to understand Jesus’ work of redemption for us, as He sprinkled His blood on the mercy seat of heaven AFTER He returned there (Hebrews 9:12 and Hebrews 9:24).
- This final act of redemption, when Jesus sprinkled His blood on the heavenly mercy seat, was performed in the eternal FUTURE (in heaven itself). This is what is SO important for us to understand that Jesus redeemed us in three different places, as follows:
-
- The eternal past
- During Jesus’ time on the earth
- In the eternal future in heaven

- To provide further context, let’s look at Jesus’ redemption for us in the eternal PAST. Here is our dilemma in the Church world. Sadly, there is little teaching nor explanation about Jesus’ glorious redemption for us in the dateless past. Last Sunday, we pointed out to you how Jesus’ redemption for us in the eternal past was preceded by two things:
-
- The Father chose Jesus to be our redeemer back then (1 Peter 1:20).
- Jesus miraculously became a human spirit (Hebrews 9:14) so that He could die for us before time.
-
- Now, let’s move on to Jesus’ mission to the earth. Here we find even more confusion since Jesus’ earthly mission has never been correctly understood by, nor truthfully presented to the Church. Here is what we have to understand about Jesus’ earthly mission:
-
- Jesus’ body was supernaturally created in Mary’s womb by God’s Spirit, without natural DNA, which would have made Him Jewish and sinful in His body. As the second ADAM, His body was a NEW creation of a NEW species of mankind—with no relation to the first ADAM.
- His Spirit, both God and human, was supernaturally imparted into the fetus, thus Jesus became a complete human person: spirit, soul, and body.
- In His death on the cross, Jesus died BOTH spiritually (2 Corinthians 5:21), as well as physically. Then in hell, He took upon Himself eternal death, which was required for three days in order to pay the price for man’s eternal incarceration in hell. After this time in hell, Jesus became the FIRST born-again person in spirit. This event happened when Holy Spirit gave Jesus back His eternal (Zoe) life. Jesus became the FIRST righteous man born FROM eternal death TO eternal life. When His glorious spirit entered His body it was instantly resurrected into a new physical man—a spiritual body, perfectly righteous for all eternity.
- Many people had to see Jesus thoroughly displayed as being alive from the dead—resurrected in His new eternal spiritual body. This demonstration of Himself to the multitudes continued for 40 days…and at one time…He showed Himself as a living being to 500 men.

GOLD & GLORY FLASHPOINT 2:
- At this point, Jesus’ earthly mission was completed!!! Again the Church has a hard time grasping this reality. Jesus was not supposed to remain indefinitely on the earth. AT THIS POINT, the mission was successfully completed. Jesus clearly told His disciples that He would return to the Father in heaven, and that Holy Spirit, as His SUBSTITUTE, would take Jesus’ PLACE on the earth—not just for the Lord’s followers, but for ALL the people on the earth!
- THIS MARKED THE END OF THE MISSION!
Indeed, the mission was SUCCESSFULLY completed. The final confirmation of Jesus’ victory was His ascension to heaven from the Mount of Olives on Thursday, May 22, A.D. 32 (please refer to chapter 5 in God’s Gold & Glory Revolution). Here, Jesus’ own disciples witnessed His glorious departure, which was also confirmed by 2 angels who immediately appeared to the disciples following Jesus’ ascension. These 2 angels further validated Jesus’ promise that in future He would return from heaven in the same manner in which He just left the earth! - Once again, here is the critical fact missing from all Christianity: Jesus departed and returned to the Father—and Holy Spirit came to take His place UNTIL Jesus’ future return, as He promised! The Church fails to understand Jesus’ earthly mission, at which time He promised to return to heaven AFTER the successful conclusion of His mission. Therefore, Jesus’ earthly mission after the 40 days would NOT drag on for 2,000 more years, nor would He be wandering all over the earth. No, He went to heaven, and we received Holy Spirit—who would perform ALL Jesus’ works in the earth…UNTIL Jesus’ subsequent return in the Rapture of the Church.
- Moreover, if Jesus had NOT left the earth and returned to heaven, He could NOT have COMPLETED our redemption. This FINAL act of redemption required that Jesus sprinkle His OWN BLOOD on the mercy seat of God’s heavenly temple, granting us access to heaven, and cementing our salvation throughout ALL the ETERNAL future.
- Actually, Jesus is The GOD man of ALL Ages! From God’s first act of creation billions of years ago until the end of time, Jesus is The GOD man of ALL time, ALL ages, and ALL creation. We are doing well in learning this, but now we have even gone beyond that point. In addition to Jesus being The GOD Man of ALL Ages, He is The God man of ALL Eternity—from the eternal past through the ages of creation, including man’s time on the earth…and then…into the eternal future!
- Oh, how glorious this is! JESUS IS THE GOD MAN OF THE ETERNAL PAST OF ALL TIMES AND ALL THE ETERNAL FUTURE!
Oh Lord, open our eyes and help us to see this, and let us understand the greatness of your ETERNAL glory and grace, hallelujah!
God bless you.
