He is Abandon / Apollyon in Revelation chapter 9

The Holy Bible > List of Biblical Persons > Jesus Christ

Jesus (/ˈdʒiːzəs/; Greek: Ἰησοῦς Iesous; 2 B.C.E. (timeline) to 33 C.E.), also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth, is the Son of Jehovah God and the awaited Messiah of the Hebrew Scriptures.The name Jesus (Gr., I·e·sous′) corresponds to the Hebrew name Jeshua (or, in fuller form, Jehoshua), meaning “Jehovah Is Salvation.” The name itself was not unusual, many men being so named in that period. He is also referred to as Jesus Christ, from the Greek Khri·stos′, the equivalent of the Hebrew Ma·shi′ach(Messiah), and means “Anointed One.” Our Modern day, most widely used Gregorian calendar uses the terms B.C. (Before Christ) and A.D. (Anno Domini = Year of our Lord in Latin) basing our current year of 2014 as the year since his supposed birth according to a medieval estimate.

The person who became known as Jesus Christ did not begin life here on earth. In heaven he was known as Michael the Archangel. He himself spoke of his prehuman heavenly life. (Joh 3:13; 6:38, 62; 8:23, 42, 58) John 1:1, 2 gives the heavenly name of the one who became Jesus, saying: “In the beginning the Word [Gr., Lo′gos] was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god [“was divine,” AT; Mo; or “of divine being,”Böhmer; Stage (both German)]. This one was in the beginning with God.” Since Jehovah is eternal and had no beginning (Ps 90:2; Re 15:3), the Word’s being with God from “the beginning” must here refer to the beginning of Jehovah’s creative works. This is confirmed by other texts identifying Jesus as “the firstborn of all creation,” “the beginning of the creation by God.” (Col 1:15; Re 1:1; 3:14) Thus the Scriptures identify the Word (Jesus in his prehuman existence) as God’s first creation, His firstborn Son. This is direct opposition to the popular and later teaching of the Trinity by the Nicean Council.

Sir Isaac Newton weighed in on the identity of Michael the Archangel

That Jehovah was truly the Father or Life-Giver to this firstborn Son and, hence, that this Son was actually a creature of God is evident from Jesus’ own statements. He pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, “I live because of the Father.” According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.—Joh 6:56, 57.

Logically, it was to this firstborn Son that Jehovah said: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness.” (Ge 1:26) All these other created things were not only created “through him” but also “for him,” as God’s Firstborn and the “heir of all things.”—Col 1:16; Heb 1:2.

Jesus began his life billions of years before the first human ever existed (Compare Mic 5:2.) and was used by his father in the creation of all of the universe (Joh 1:3; Col 1:16, 17) and the other angels and spirit creatures in heaven (Da 7:9, 10; Re 5:11),

Jesus was conceived by Holy Spirit being transferred from his heavenly life as Michael the Archangel into the womb of a virgin named Mary who was engaged to Joseph. He was born in Bethlehem as a human baby in the year 2 B.C.E.. A star shined above his birthplace guiding astrologers to pay tribute to him.
He was later raised in Nazareth where archaeologists claim to have discovered his childhood home.

Dear Librarian,

Why is it that my unbelieving spouse is pronounced "holy" if I behave and act as a true Christian?

Or is that just for the anointed ones?

Dear Librarian,

What's the difference between matthew 8:12 and 13:38?

“The [true] God”—Heb., ha‧ʼEl′

The title ʼEl, when preceded by the definite article ha, gives the expression ha‧ʼEl′. This expression occurs 32 times in M in the singular and it always refers to the true God, Jehovah. Gesenius’ Hebrew Grammar (GK), § 126 e, renders ha‧ʼElo‧him′and ha‧ʼEl′ as “the one true God.”

The New World Translation renders ha‧ʼEl′ as “the [true] God” in all 32 places where it occurs in M in the singular, namely, in Ge 31:13; 35:1, 3; 46:3; De 7:9; 10:17; 33:26; 2Sa 22:31, 33, 48; Ne 1:5; 9:32; Job 13:8; 21:14; 22:17; 31:28; 33:6; 34:10, 37; 40:9; Ps 18:30, 32, 47; 57:2; 68:19, 20; 77:14; 85:8; Isa 5:16; 42:5; Jer 32:18; Da 9:4.

The plural of ʼel is ʼe‧lim′. In M ʼe‧lim′ occurs once preceded by the definite article, namely, in Ex 15:11, where it refers to other gods.
 

“The [true] Lord”—Heb., ha‧ʼA‧dhohn′

The title ʼA‧dhohn′, “Lord; Master,” when preceded by the definite article ha, “the,” gives the expression ha‧ʼA‧dhohn′, “the [true] Lord.” The use of the definite article ha before the title ʼA‧dhohn′ limits the application of this title exclusively to Jehovah God.

In M the expression ha‧ʼA‧dhohn′ occurs nine times, namely, in Ex 23:17; 34:23; Isa 1:24; 3:1; 10:16, 33; 19:4; Mic 4:13; Mal 3:1.
The plural of ʼa‧dhohn′ is ʼadho‧nim′. In M the expression ha‧ʼadho‧nim′, “the lords,” occurs twice, namely, in De 10:17; Ps 136:3.
