Matthew 1:23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us."
John 1:1,14 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God.
(14) And the Word became
flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory
as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 8:54-58 Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. (55) Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. (56) Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” (57) Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” (58) Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."
John 10:27-33 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. (28) And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
{"I give them eternal life" are NOT the words of a meer prophet, but of God.}
(29) My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. (30) I and My Father are one." (31) Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. (32) Jesus answered them, "Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?" (33) The Jews answered Him, saying, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God."
John 10:36-38 do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'? (37) If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; (38) but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him."
John 5:17-30 But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now, and I have been working." (18) Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God. (19) Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. (20) For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. (21) For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. (22) For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, (23) that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. (24) "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. (25) Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. (26) For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, (27) and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. (28) Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice (29) and come forth-- those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. (30) I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
{Only God can give eternal life}
John 12:37-41 But although He (Christ) had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, (38) that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?" (39) Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: (40) "HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HARDENED THEIR HEARTS, LEST THEY SHOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, LEST THEY SHOULD UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEARTS AND TURN, SO THAT I SHOULD HEAL THEM." (41) These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him. {Isaiah 6}
John 14:7-9 "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him." (8) Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us." (9) Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
John 16:15 "All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
John 17:5 "And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD, that
is My name; And My glory I will not give to another,
Nor My praise to carved images.
{If Jesus isn't God, then
He would not have shared glory with the Father before the world began}
Luke 5:17-26 Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them. (18) Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him. (19) And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus. (20) When He saw their faith, He said to him, "Man, your sins are forgiven you." (21) And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?" (22) But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, "Why are you reasoning in your hearts? (23) Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Rise up and walk'? (24) But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins"—He said to the man who was paralyzed, "I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house." (25) Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. (26) And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things today!"
Luke 22:70 Then they all said, "Are You then the Son of God?" So He said to them, "You rightly say that I am."
John 15:23 He who hates Me hates My Father also.
1 John 2:23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
Romans 9:5 of whom are
the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is
over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.
1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.
Titus 3:4-6 But when
the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward
man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but
according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration
and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly
through Jesus Christ our Savior,
Isaiah 43:10-11 "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. (11) I, even I, am the
Lord, And besides Me there is no savior.
Isaiah 45:21 Tell and bring
forth your case; Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has declared
this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? Have not I, the
LORD? And there is no other God besides Me, A just God and a Savior;
There is none besides Me.
Hebrews 1:8 But to
the Son [He says]: "Your throne, O God,
[is] forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness [is] the scepter of
Your Kingdom.
Psalms 45:6-7 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. (7) You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.
Colossians 1:15-20 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. (16) For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. (17) And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. (18) And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. (19) For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, (20) and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
Colossians 2:8-10 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. (9) For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; (10) and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
Psalms 102:25-27 Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. (26) They will perish, but You will endure; Yes, they will all grow old like a garment; Like a cloak You will change them, And they will be changed. (27) But You are the same, And Your years will have no end.
Hebrews 1:1-14 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, (2) has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; (3) who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, (4) having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. (5) For to which of the angels did He ever say: "YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU"? And again: "I WILL BE TO HIM A FATHER, AND HE SHALL BE TO ME A SON"? (6) But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: "LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM." (7) And of the angels He says: "WHO MAKES HIS ANGELS SPIRITS AND HIS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE." (8) But to the Son He says: "YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SCEPTER OF YOUR KINGDOM. (9) YOU HAVE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED LAWLESSNESS; THEREFORE GOD, YOUR GOD, HAS ANOINTED YOU WITH THE OIL OF GLADNESS MORE THAN YOUR COMPANIONS." (10) And: "YOU, LORD, IN THE BEGINNING LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, AND THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS. (11) THEY WILL PERISH, BUT YOU REMAIN; AND THEY WILL ALL GROW OLD LIKE A GARMENT; (12) LIKE A CLOAK YOU WILL FOLD THEM UP, AND THEY WILL BE CHANGED. BUT YOU ARE THE SAME, AND YOUR YEARS WILL NOT FAIL." (13) But to which of the angels has He ever said: "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, TILL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES YOUR FOOTSTOOL"? (14) Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?
1Tim 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
2 Corinthians 4:2-6 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. (3) But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, (4) whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. (5) For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake. (6) For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 5:1-14 And
I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written
inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. (2) Then I saw a
strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the
scroll and to loose its seals?" (3) And no one in heaven or on the
earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.
(4) So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read
the scroll, or to look at it. (5) But one of the elders said to me, "Do
not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David,
has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals."
(6) And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the
four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as
though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are
the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. (7) Then He came
and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.
(8) Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the
twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and
golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. (9)
And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God
by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, (10)
And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on
the earth."
(11) Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the
throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them
was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, (12)
saying with a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive
power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and
blessing!"
(13) And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under
the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard
saying: "Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on
the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!" (14) Then the four
living creatures said, "Amen!" And the twenty-four elders fell down and
worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.
Rev 1:18 I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Philippians 2:5-11 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, (6) who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, (7) but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. (8) And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. (9) Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, (10) that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, (11) and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

witnesses," says the Lord, "And My servant whom I have chosen, That you

I, am the Lord, And besides Me there is no savior.
Romans 14:10-12 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

Isaiah 45:22-23 Look
unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am
God, and there is none else. (23) I have sworn by myself, the
word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return,
That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue
shall swear.
Romans 14:11 For it is written,
[As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and
every tongue shall confess to God.

things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; (11)
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father.

are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ,

name.

working." (18) Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him,

was His Father, making Himself equal with God.

(14) "All of you, assemble yourselves, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? The LORD loves him; He shall do His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm shall be against the Chaldeans. (15) I, even I, have spoken; Yes, I have called him, I have brought him, and his way will prosper. (16) "Come near to Me, hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; From the time that it was, I was there. And now the Lord GOD and His Spirit Have sent Me." (17) Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go.
John 5:21-23 "For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to [them], even so the Son gives life to whom He will.

He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the
world should be registered. (2) This census first took place while
Quirinius was governing Syria. (3) So all went to be registered,
everyone to his own city. (4) Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of
the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called
Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, (5) to be
registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. (6) So it
was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be
delivered. (7) And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him
in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no
room for them in the inn.

proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to
those who are bound; (2) To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,
And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, (3) To

of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the
LORD, that He may be glorified."

the book, He found the place where it was written: (18) "The Spirit of
the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to
the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty
to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty
those who are oppressed; (19) To proclaim the acceptable year of the
LORD." (20) Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant
and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed
on Him. (21) And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is
fulfilled in your hearing."

of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. (3) His delight is in the
fear of the LORD, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor
decide by the hearing of His ears; (4) But with righteousness He shall
judge the poor, And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He
shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath
of His lips He shall slay the wicked. (5) Righteousness shall be the
belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist.
Romans 1:3 concerning His Son
Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to
the flesh,
Matthew 22:42-45 saying, "What
do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?" They said to Him, "The
Son of David." (43) He said to them, "How then does David in the Spirit
call Him 'Lord,' saying: (44) 'The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My
right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool"'? (45) "If David
then calls Him 'Lord,' how is He his Son?"
Acts 2:34-36 "For David did not
ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: 'The LORD said to my

that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and
Christ."

called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the
throne of His father David. (33) "And He will reign over the house of
Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end." (34) Then Mary
said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?" (35)
And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon
you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also,
that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.
Isaiah 35:4-6 Say to those who
are fearful-hearted, "Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will

you." (5) Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of
the deaf shall be unstopped. (6) Then the lame shall leap like a deer,
And the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the
wilderness, And streams in the desert.
Matthew 11:2-6 And when John had
heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples

another?" (4) Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and tell John the
things which you hear and see: (5) "The blind see and the lame walk;
the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and
the poor have the gospel preached to them. (6) "And blessed is he who
is not offended because of Me."

Zechariah 9:9 "Rejoice greatly,
O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King
is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on

drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives,

opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt
with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. (3) "And if anyone says
anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and
immediately he will send them." (4) All this was done that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: (5) "Tell the
daughter of Zion, 'Behold, your King is coming to you, Lowly, and
sitting on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.'" (6) So the
disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. (7) They brought the
donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them.
(8) And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others
cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. (9) Then
the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out,
saying: "Hosanna to the Son of David! 'Blessed is He who comes in the
name of the LORD!' Hosanna in the highest!"
Isaiah 42:1-7 "Behold! My
Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have
put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
(2) He will not cry out, nor raise His voice, Nor cause His voice to be
heard in the street. (3) A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking
flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth. (4) He
will not fail nor be discouraged, Till He has established justice in
the earth; And the coastlands shall wait for His law." (5) Thus says
God the LORD, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who
spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath
to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it: (6) "I, the
LORD, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will
keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the
Gentiles, (7) To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the
prison, Those who sit in darkness from the prison house.
Matthew 12:15-21 But when Jesus
knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and
He healed them all. (16) Yet He warned them not to make Him known, (17)
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet,
saying: (18) "Behold! My Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved in whom
My soul is well pleased! I will put My Spirit upon Him, And He will
declare justice to the Gentiles. (19) He will not quarrel nor cry out,
Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets. (20) A bruised reed He
will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench, Till He sends
forth justice to victory; (21) And in His name Gentiles will trust."

Timeframe of Jesus' ministry was during the timeframe descibed
in the following verses -
Daniel 9:24-26 "Seventy weeks
are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the
transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for
iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and
prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy. (25) "Know therefore and
understand, That from the going forth of the command To
restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be
seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built
again, and the wall, Even in troublesome times. (26) "And
after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not
for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come
Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall
be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are
determined.
The command to rebuild Jerusalem was
given at approx. 445 BC. The command is recorded in the following
verses:
Nehemiah 2:1-8
And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the
twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, that I
took the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never been sad in his
presence before. (2) Therefore the king said to me, "Why is your face
sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing but sorrow of heart." So I
became dreadfully afraid, (3) and said to the king, "May the king live
forever! Why should my face not be sad, when the city, the place of my
fathers' tombs, lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire?" (4)
Then the king said to me, "What do you request?" So I prayed to the God
of heaven. (5) And I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, and if
your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to
Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may rebuild it." (6)
Then the king said to me (the queen also sitting beside him), "How long
will your journey be? And when will you return?" So it pleased the king
to send me; and I set him a time. (7) Furthermore I said to the king,
"If it pleases the king, let letters be given to me for the governors
of the region beyond the River, that they must permit me to pass
through till I come to Judah, (8) "and a letter to Asaph the keeper of
the king's forest, that he must give me timber to make beams for the
gates of the citadel which pertains to the temple, for the city wall,
and for the house that I will occupy." And the king granted them to me
according to the good hand of my God upon me.
"seven weeks and sixty-two weeks" equals 483 years (a week equals 7
years) (In Jewish culture, a year equals 360 days).
"after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off (killed)"
Then "the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city
and the sanctuary", which occurred in 70 AD.
The Messiah appeared and was killed before 70 AD.
