The Logos Of God

“In the beginning was the Word” sounds familiar until you slow down and ask the hard question: what is the Logos, and how can the Word be both “with God” and “God” without turning Scripture into a math problem? We open John 1 and 1 John 1 and follow the Bible’s own trail of clues to define Logos as God’s thought expressed, His life and light made knowable, and His self-revelation to creation. If you care about clear teaching on the Godhead, the Word of God, and why this matters for end time Bible prophecy, this conversation is built for you.

We talk about God as infinite Spirit who remains beyond space and time, yet “dwelling in the light” in a way that shows up throughout Scripture. That thread connects the pillar of fire, the glory cloud in the tabernacle, and what theologians call theophany, God appearing. From Proverbs 8 to Genesis 1:26, we also deal with the “Let us” language by comparing it with Isaiah 6, showing how God speaks in the presence of the heavenly host while the Bible still insists on one throne and one God.

Then we bring it to Jesus Christ: the Word made flesh, the Spirit descending at Jesus’ baptism, and the tabernacle pattern behind John 1:14. We also connect Pentecost to the idea of the Logos shared into believers, and why that matters for the Church today. If you’ve ever wanted a Scripture-first framework that stays reverent, avoids slogans, and still goes deep, you’ll get a lot from this teaching.

Welcome And Why We Study Deeply

SPEAKER_00 0:02

Greetings, Bible believers and followers of the end time message. Welcome to another episode of the Jason Demars Podcast, the place where we explore the incredible mysteries hidden within the pages of the Bible. I'm your host, Jason Demars. It's time to get started on another journey into the heart of God's Word. If it's your desire to grow in Revelation and see the message in the light of the Bible, you're in the right place. Today, brothers and sisters, we delve into the scripture, guided by the extraordinary revelations that God chose to unveil through Brother William Marion Branham, a messenger with a unique calling to fulfill Malachi 4 and Revelation 10:7, and unlock the secrets of the end time message. Our purpose isn't to have another basic Bible study. We're going to dig deep and peel back the layers of prophecy, decoding the signs and perhaps discovering how the Bible resonates within the very fabric of our present day and time. In this podcast, my purpose is to help you grow in your faith through solid Bible teaching through the lens of the message of Malachi 4. So grab your Bible, a cup of coffee, and let's get started. And remember that your feedback, testimonies, questions, and prayer requests are always welcome. Please send them on social media or at jasondemars.com. With that said, let's get into today's podcast.

Reviews Feedback And Why It Matters

SPEAKER_00 1:24

Welcome to the Jason Demars Podcast. I want to thank everyone that has given overwhelmingly positive feedback to me over the years when we've met face to face. I was recently in Zambia and a number of people thanked me, and one told me that every time a new podcast comes up, he sits down with his family and watches it. I believe that we have a revelation of the Godhead that is a critical component to the finishing of the mystery of God in Revelation 10:7. And Brother Branham does an incredible job of pointing us back to the key principles and putting a framework in place for us to receive revelation. It is something that is brought apart from dogmatic functions that comes back to simple and mysterious truth, clearly revealed in scripture, and that's going to be our subject today, in particular looking at the logos. But before we get into that, I want to look at a few reviews and encourage you to give me your honest feedback on the podcast, both on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc. I'm looking to get 100% of the people that are listening in now to comment, to give a review, to give us a like, to subscribe, and especially on Apple Podcasts to give us some feedback there. This really helps spread the word and get more visibility as well as a great encouragement to me because sometimes I feel like I'm speaking into the void and that does make it difficult. So please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts. We have 24 ratings so far, and it's 4.7 out of 5. Thank you for that. Please continue to review. I'd love to see that double or triple within just the next few days. So if you're listening on Apple Podcasts, please stop. Go right now and put your review there. I want to read our most recent review from Apple Podcasts. Let's see. This is what the person that goes by call themselves Raspberry Noises. So pretty sure that's not their name. But gave me five stars, and they said deep deep teaching on a simple level. Amazing teaching on scripture and the message of the hour. Been listening to the attributes of God and the picture that is painted from scripture and quotes of the vastness of God is just absolutely beautiful and deepened my desire to know God more intimately. Thank you, Brother Jason, for your faithfulness and God's to God's ministry placed in you. It has been a true blessing. Thank you so much. That means the world to me, just to know that someone has been inspired to, by revelation, to see the vastness and the beauty of God, and then from that to want to know him more deeply. That's a treasure that makes ministry worth it. We also got some feedback as well on YouTube, and I appreciate that. JB Claville wrote about a month ago when I posted the podcast on Search the Scriptures. Great job, so balanced. There's a lot of great speakers on the Bible, but an apologist approach to the message is sorely lacking. Adding this to our apologetics curriculum, assuming that means for homeschool, or maybe for Sunday school. You made a strong stand against the Nicolaitan spirit that in the message. That spirit would make the message inaccessible, like lat like the Bible in Latin, if it could, so we couldn't rightly divide ourselves and catch the errors the enemy tries to slip in our ranks. Amen. I think that's such a key and important point. And uh thank you for your feedback. Please love to continue to get that. And again, once again, just I've of course gotten negative feedback and people that haven't liked the podcast or or haven't appreciated teaching ministry, and that's okay. We're not sent to everyone. But truly, the the the feedback that we have gotten is overwhelmingly positive. So thank you and appreciate that. We ask that you'd help us because when you comment, when you subscribe, when you like, when you do a review, especially the reviews on Apple Podcasts, this widens the word going out to more and more people, so uh widens the audience. So I appreciate that. Also, I believe trying to remember, we were in. I took a look in the analytics of the podcast, and I think we were in over 154 countries over the last three years, and so man, praise the Lord for that. Our number one country of listeners was the US, number two is Canada, and believe it or not, number three was Norway. So, and I'll be going to Norway in early July for to speak at some special meetings there. There's a youth camp and a family camp. So we'll be speaking there. So remember me in prayer. With that said, if you have any questions for me or want to write a review, we'd really appreciate that. We've always been open to questions and feedback. And so please keep them coming. We try to answer them here. Uh, or if it's a sensitive nature, we try to answer the answer those questions personally by email or or text. But if it is a question that is something that we can do publicly, we like to be able to do that so other people can benefit

John 1 And The Logos Defined

SPEAKER_00 7:38

from that. So we're going to turn in the scriptures to John chapter 1, and we're going to speak about the logos of God. John 1, 1 through 8, in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. Verse 2, the same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness to bear witness of the light, that all men through him might believe. So the light, the life, the logos is the light and the life. And so that and that is that is God. In the beginning was the light. In the beginning was the life, and the life was with God, and the life was God. So we want to really go into this on a fairly deep level and break it down. Again, we're not so much wanting to respond to Trinitarian thought or respond to oneness thought. We're wanting to really dig into the scriptures and the truth and present it as it is right there. So 1 Timothy 6:16, who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light, which no man can approach unto, whom no man hath seen, nor can see, to whom be honor and power everlasting. So God is a spirit, he is invisible, no man has seen God at any time, as the Bible says, but the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him. So we have the light that he dwells in. But we know that the light is God Himself is behind that light, if we put it that way. No man can approach to, no man can see him, nor has seen him, nor can see. And so, but he's dwelling in light. Proverbs chapter 8, 22 through 28. Some of my favorite scriptures. The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways before his works of old. So to we see there, I was I was set up, or I was I was it means to come out of. So the wisdom or the logos of God was first in God. We could say logos means a thought expressed. So first it was a thought in God, and then it came out and it was expressed. So then it was set up from the beginning or ever the earth was, and then begins to continue forth. When there was no depths, I was brought forth, when there was no fountains abounding with water, before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth, while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there. When he set a compass upon the face of the depth, when he established the clouds above, when he strengthened the fountains of the deep. So the first act that God had was to put forth his word from himself. So it was for all eternity was a thought. Then God put forth from himself. So the word the thought was in him, and he we could say, in a way, he gave birth. So from eternity came out the thought and it became expressed. And that expression of the thought is the bringing forth. So in other words, the Logos was first in God, and then it came out of God. So it was a part of God that began to form into a supernatural light. So he's dwelling in light. That Logos is the light, and within that logos is the life, and this is the visible expression of God. In a way you can look at that and see when God appears in the Old Testament in a spiritual body, that is a theophany, which means theo means God, phonero means to appear. So it's an appearing or a manifestation of God. So the Logos is the body, the spiritual body or the theophany of Almighty God. So you have within that you have God who is spirit. The Bible says that He in Him we live and move and have our being. So the universe does not contain God. The the God contains the universe. Solomon says the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee. So God is a spirit, and the very word spirit, pneuma, in the Greek language means wind. And so is he's invisible, he's a power that operates upon other things. He is the word, he is a thought expressed. So God is is on the on the one hand, God is spirit, but out from God, and God never stops being spirit, God never stops covering all space and time, that God never stops being beyond the universe, outside of the universe, apart and distinct from it, and larger than it, if I can use that word. So God being a spirit, but yet also God there would be no way that we truly could fully relate to him in that way. So God decided to condescend, and before the creation, he formed a light, and that light was the word, an expression of himself, something so that his creation could relate back to him. And so it took different forms. It would take on the form of an angel, it would take on the form of a man, it would take on the form of a cloud, it would take on the form of a pillar of fire, or just supernatural amber-colored light there that would appear to people, the the glory of the Lord, a glory cloud, a cloud-emanating light coming down to enter into the tabernacle. And so

Theophany Light And God Condescending

SPEAKER_00 14:40

you see all of those things in that place. So we have a dis you could say now we have a distinction. We have God who is spirit, and we have the word, though that word is the word was God, right? It's not another person, it's not a separate and distinct person, it's the body that God expressed himself in to his people. So we come there, and then we come to Genesis chapter 1, 26 and 27. And God said, Let us make man in our image after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him, male and female created he them. So we look at that and we see let us. So number one is we see through the scripture, all the way leading up in Genesis 1, Genesis 2, Genesis 3, and the rest of the entire Bible that God speaks in this way in him. So God created man in his own image. That's a singular personal pronoun. In the image of God created he, him, male and female created he, them. So we have over and over again a singular personal pronoun in Ephesians, the he of chapter 1, verse 11, I believe it is, he says, He counseled with his own self. So God is a singular personal pronoun. So when we see God say, let us make man in our own image, it's clear that God is speaking to someone else who is not himself. And we find another portion in the scripture, Isaiah chapter six, verse one. In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord also I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. So this is a significant time. He says, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne. There's not three thrones, there's not two thrones. The Lord is sitting on one throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims. Each one had six wings, with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly, and one cried unto the other and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts, the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door excuse me. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, Woe is me, for I am done, for I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I come from a people of unclean lips. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar, and he laid it upon my mouth and said, Lo, thy sins this has touched thy lips, and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I have heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me. So we see here a perfect expression and explanation. We let the Bible interpret itself. Genesis chapter 1, 26 says, Let us make man in our own image, and then turns around and immediately says, In the image of God created he him, male and female created he them. So perfect expression: God is there sitting upon his throne, one throne, singular personal pronoun. But then he says, Whom shall I send and who will go for us? So I, personal pronoun speaking himself, who will go for us, myself, and those other people around me who are not me. And who are they? The Seraphim around the throne, who will go for us. So God is speaking in conjunction with himself and the angelic beings surrounding him. So we can say back into Genesis chapter one. This is a very plain scriptural meaning, and we find this, we won't belabor the point, but God is surrounded by a heavenly host over and over again in the Old Testament, and he is counseling with them. Even the prophet Micaiah, when Jehoshaphat and Ahab send for him, he says he sees the Lord seated upon a throne and the whole host of angels surrounding him. And he says, Who who how will I deceive Ahab? And one says after this manner, and one says after that manner. So angels participating in the program of God, responding to him. Then an evil spirit comes up and says, I'll be a mouth, I'll be a spirit in the mouths, I'll be a lying spirit in the mouths of the prophets of Ahab. And he says, You'll succeed. So as we look at that, then we see God speaking in conjunction with his angelic beings. This is the normal thing, and this is a ver Genesis 1 is a clear deduction of that. So God, who is a spirit, brought forth himself the Logos, created the angelic beings, created the heavens and the earth and time. And he is there on the sixth day of creation, saying, Let us make man in our image. So God, who's a spirit, the angelic beings around him who are spirits who have intelligence, he says, Let's make them in our image. And so God makes man first a spiritual being, and then he puts him into a body of flesh, the male and female portion into a body of flesh, a little female lying dormant. But he says, It's not good for a man to be alone. So he puts him to sleep, performs a surgery, takes a rib and a little bit of flesh, and forms Eve. And he says, Now this is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh. So then he takes that female feminine spirit and puts that inside of Eve. And now you have the male and female separated there in the process of creation. Brother Branham says this in the sermon A super sign. Watch God and his ways of work. When he created the heavens and the earth, he called the angels together and he said, Let us. Amen. All right. In Hebrews chapter 4, he says, God in the beginning was spirit, and then from God went out the Logos or the Theophany, which is a form of a man called the Son of God, prefigured. So the Logos then is a prefiguration of the Son of God. The Logos is not one for one with the Son of God. The Logos is the body of the invisible God. It's the light and the life that came forth from him in the beginning in order to be expression, expression of himself, but not only expression of himself, of what he would be in the person of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, in the future. And it's an important distinction to make and to understand because we want to look at the Logos, and this is a foundational revelation for us, and especially as Brother Branham had a progressive revelation. He didn't have the full understanding when he began to teach on it. And he was teaching initially more on the that the Logos was another being and it was the Son of God. And as time went on, his revelation got more clear. Go into the Hebrew series, and he begins to say, instead of saying the Logos

Let Us Make Man And The Heavenly Host

SPEAKER_00 23:20

is one for one with the Son of God, pre-existent Son, he begins to say that the Logos is a prefiguration of Jesus Christ. So that Logos, when you saw that Logos, you were actually seeing the invisible God. You were seeing God manifested. All right, so let's look further at this. And Christ is the mystery of God revealed. Brother Branham says, to misinterpret Jesus Christ being the Word, you would make him one God out of three, or you would make him the second person in a Godhead. And to do that, you would mess the whole scripture. Amen. And so you to just flatly say with no explanation, Jesus Christ is the word, without scriptural backing to that, Jesus Christ is the word. We can say that, no problem. But when we go into the doctrine and go into it clearly, if you're not seeing how Jesus Christ is the word, you would make him two gods out of three, make him a second person in a godhead, and and or you'd make you'd mess the whole entire scripture up. So let's look then. Let's look at first John chapter one, verses one through three. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled of the word of life. So it was from the beginning, and we've seen and looked upon it. So it's the Logos of life. So before in John 1, 1 through 8, you saw that in the Logos was life. Now it's called the Logos of Life. Verse 2, for the life was manifested, and we have seen it and bear witness and show unto you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested unto us. So the Logos that went out of God is the eternal life that was with the Father and was manifested unto us. So when we look at that, that gives us an incredible clue to John chapter 1, verse 1, and helps clarify many things because you start to see then what does it mean when it says and the word was with God? Because the Trinitarians take the word was with God, and they're saying that one God was with another God, or one person of the Godhead is with another person of the Godhead. But here we see that he John is clarifying John 1 further and saying was with the Father. So when we can clarify that and say, with God also means with the Father, and was manifested unto us. So in the beginning was the word, and the word was with the Father, and the Word was the Father. Interesting. Continue reading. First John 1, verse 3. And that which we have seen and heard, declare we unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us, and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. And so we see an incredible point that's being made here is you have the Father who is a spirit. He becomes manifested through the Logos of life, and that Logos of life becomes flesh in Jesus Christ. So you have the Father and you have the Son, Jesus Christ. So our fellowship is with both of them. Our fellowship is with God the Father, who is a spirit, and with his son, Jesus Christ. So let me make let me let me reiterate that to try to make it even more clear. So we see this point that the word was with the Father. And if we carry that back into John 1.1, we see in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with the Father, and the Word was the Father. So the invisible life that is manifested in the Word came to dwell in the flesh. And so we can begin to comment further on this, but I think I'm going to continue looking at the quotes. This is from Questions and Answers. Brother Branham says, On top of Mount Zion will set the lamb, and the city will need no light, for the lamb is the light thereof, and above the lamb will be the father, which is the Logos, God, the great light, the eternal light that'll shine just above the throne. And Jesus will not be on his father's throne, he'll be on his throne, and the father will hover over the son, which the father and the son will be one. Amen. So you have the Father, which is the Logos, hovering over the Son, and the Father and the Son will be one. So the Son is the physical manifestation of God. The Logos is the spiritual manifestation of the Father, and they'll be one. Amen. So again, there Brother Branham even himself is making this distinction that the Logos is the Father. All right, so let's continue. Questions and answers from 1964. Now that pillar of fire is the Logos that went out of God, the Logos, which is actually the attribute of the fullness of God. When God became into a form to where it could be seen, it was the anointing of the great spirit that went forth, its condescending, coming down, God the Father, the Logos that was up over Israel. Then that Logos became flesh and dwelt among us, and where this Logos dwelt in a human body, which was the sacrifice. Now this Logos that was in him, which was the Spirit of God, the anointing. Now on the day of Pentecost it came down that pillar of fire and broke apart like that, and tongues of fire set upon each of them, the Logos, separating himself into men. God not in one person, he's in his church universal. Now, let's break down the points the prophet is making. Number one, the pillar of fire is the Logos that went out of God, the anointing of the great spirit that went forth. Number two, the Logos is the attribute of the fullness of God. Number three, God the Father, the Logos that was up over Israel. Number four, the Logos became flesh and dwelt among us. Number five, the Logos was in and upon Jesus. Number six, the same Logos is separating himself into the believers in the universal body of Christ. Now, I think this is key to see. I think a picture is beginning to be formed. Ultimately, I pray the Holy Spirit gives you a revelation of this, because these things are spoken not so that we would leave them in a book, but so that the revelation would become ours, that we could go to scripture and see it from Genesis to Revelation. All right, in the sermon, sirs, we would see Jesus in 1964 said, There is the Messiah. I see a light above him, like a dove coming upon him, bore record, said, He that told me in the wilderness, go baptize with water, said, Upon whom thou shalt see the spirit, that light like a dove coming down, was perhaps the same pillar of fire that followed the children of Israel in the wilderness coming upon him, because that was the anointed, the Logos. That's so beautiful. So the dove that came down, the Spirit of God that came down is the anointing, also known as the Logos. So the Logos came down and was made flesh. If we can just refer that scripture, John chapter 1, verse 14. And the word, the Logos, was made 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. So this is a direct reference back to the tabernacle in the Old Testament, because the word dwelt means tabernacle, and the Logos became flesh and tabernacled among us. So in the end of the book of Exodus, we find everything is complete, the tabernacle is put together, Moses did everything according to the pattern that he saw on the mount, and when he does that, it becomes a dedication, and but they can't complete the task of the dedication because the glory of the Lord in the form of a cloud, a supernatural light in the form of a cloud, comes down and enters into the tabernacle of witness and goes in and hangs over the mercy seat within the Holy of Holies. And so John 1:14 is a perfect picture of that. John the Baptist could identify him because on whom you see the light coming. So a dove in the form of a light, the Spirit of God, the anointing, the Logos that went out of God in the beginning, comes down and enters into the tabernacle and becomes one with the tabernacle. But this time the tabernacle is not made out of badger skins. This one was the virgin born son of God that was birthed in the created, birthed in the womb of a virgin, created directly by God. And there he is standing, trained, come to maturity at 30 years of age, and the logos comes down and enters into the new kind of tabernacle. Now it's not made out of badger skins, and it's also not made out of bricks, like the temple, excuse me. Now it is a body of flesh made and prepared for God by his logos to dwell in the Son of God. All right, let's continue reading the quotes. Brother Branham says, One day he saw a young man coming, walking down. John the Baptist saw him. He saw that pillar of fire in the form of a dove coming down from heaven, a voice saying, This is my beloved son, in whom I'm pleased to dwell in, says whom I'm pleased to dwell. It's just the verb before the adverb, so it's just the same. That's from the voice of the sign in 1964. And you'll find many of these similar quotes. Brother Branham speaking, that light, the logos, comes down to dwell him in him when? Not at his birth, but at his baptism. And who's this Melchizedek? I want to read this. Now, the difference between him and you as a son, see, he was at the beginning the word and on Morpha body. He came and lived in that in the person of Melchizedek. Then later we never heard no more of Melchizedek because he became Jesus Christ. Melchizedek was the priest, but he became Jesus Christ. Now you bypassed that because in that form he knowed all things, and you have never been able to know that yet. We bypassed our theophany and came directly to flesh from the attribute, but Jesus went directly to his theophany. This is the absolute truth. But let's balance it out with two other points that Brother Branham makes. But the Bible said, This is in future home, the Bible said he's the beginning of the creation of God. How did he begin? In the womb of a woman. That's the future home of the heavenly bridegroom and the earthly bride. Let's continue reading. And this Melchizedek was not Jesus, for he was God. And what made Jesus and God different, that Jesus was the tabernacle that God dwelt in. See now Melchizedek. Jesus had both father and mother, and this man never had a father or mother. Jesus had a beginning of life and he had an end of life. This man had no father, no mother, no beginning of days or ending of life, but it was the self-same person. It was Melchitek, and Jesus was one, but Jesus was the earthly body, born and fashioned after sin. God's own body, his own son, born and fashioned after sin, to take the sting out of death, to pay the ransom, and to receive sons and daughters unto himself. You get it? That's the reason that he had a beginning, he had an ending. That's from Hebrews chapter 7, number 2, and 1957. Let's keep reading. I'm going to put these together as we go forward. I don't want to get caught up in expositing them while we are trying to build a bigger point. So now notice he abideth forever. He has a testimony here that he liveth, he never dies, he never did, he never was nothing else but alive. He abideth forever. Now Jesus was made likened unto him. Now the reason that there's a difference between God and Jesus, Jesus had a beginning, God had no beginning. Melchizedek had no beginning, and Jesus had a beginning. Once again, 1957, Hebrews chapter 7, number one. Alright, so now let's break down these four points and see how we can properly understand the big prick picture revelation that God is trying to bring us. So number one, number one, Jesus didn't bypass his theophany. He went to it in the beginning. He was the word and on morphabody. He came and lived in that in the person of Melchizedek. Number two, Jesus had a beginning in the womb of Mary. Number three, Melchizedek was not Jesus, he was God. Number four, Jesus was the earthly tabernacle of God. And number five, Jesus had a beginning, and God, Melchizedek, had no beginning. Alright, so it seems like a lot of different things going on here. Our duty is not to throw them out, but our duty is to work on reconciling these thoughts. So Jesus came and lived in the word body in the form of Melchizedek, and yet Melchizedek was not Jesus because Jesus had a beginning in the womb of Mary. Since Jesus, the Son of God, is the visible expression of the invisible God, that Theophany that went forth in the beginning was his Theophany. Yet he was not born yet. It was merely merely his life and Theophany. So let me let me rephrase that. I have it written down in my notes a little bit clumsily. So Jesus was not born yet. It was merely his life that was in that Theophany, which was the Logos. So his life was in the Logos. So when you saw that Theophany and Morpha body, you were seeing Jesus in a prey figure before he actually came into being in the womb of Mary. Let's unpack it. Number one, the theophany of God in the beginning was Jesus. Two, yet Jesus was not born yet. Three, the life in that theophany was the very same life that was later born as Jesus of Nazareth. Then at his baptism at 30 years of age, the Logos, the pillar of fire, the attribute of the fullness of God, came down in the form of a dove and entered into Jesus of Nazareth. And so that's the end of our notes. I, you know, I look at this and I want to, in our next podcasts, go into greater depth upon the beginning of Jesus in the womb of a virgin. There's many scriptures and quotes for that, and I'm definitely going to take the time to do that. But I think it's better to kind of split the teachings up. It's a lot, it's heavy. So if you're really looking at this big picture-wise, the Logos is and never ceases to be the visible expression of Almighty

Pentecost Paul And The Logos Today

God. So when you're when you're talking about the Logos, when God comes down in the form of a pillar of fire to Moses, that's both God limiting himself in a way so that he can reveal himself to man, but also realizing that God himself is separate from that because he's an invisible spirit that covers all space and time. Put it that way. But that logos is God putting himself into a shape of a form of spiritual expression so man can understand that God is present. It's the attribute of the fullness of God. So that attribute of the fullness of God remains that all the time. It is to this day. It came down at Jesus' baptism and entered into him so that the tabernacle of the Logos was a single, sinless, perfect man without the stain of sin, without any sin upon him. He was the perfect sacrifice, the perfect, sinless son of God, who was a man. He was human, his body was human without the nature of sin. His spirit was human without the nature of sin. And his soul was a human soul without the nature of sin. The Logos came and anointed him at his baptism. And it became the Logos went into the tabernacle, just as the Logos went into the tabernacle and went into the Holy of Holies to be there with the children of Israel. That same Logos then on the day of Pentecost comes and breaks into pieces, which the amazing part is it breaks into pieces, but no pieces are left. No pieces are missing. Amen. Because this is God. God can split himself up and dwell in a million people at once and still be fully intact as the Logos. So God breaking into pieces in cloven tongues into his people, and yet he's still the complete expression, separate and distinct from that. And so later on we find that same Logos comes and meets, strikes Paul down on the road to Damascus and says, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. We know that Jesus as a man was in heaven, dwelling on sitting on the throne of God, there as the mediator of a better covenant. And so then, but that Logos was there manifesting, and it was Jesus manifested to Paul. It's the same Logos revealing. He says there's a supernatural light for appearing in the meetings, and other people would see it as well. And when he when that supernatural light was appearing, there was discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart. It was manifesting that pillar of fire logos was manifesting the Son of Man, Jesus Christ. And that same pillar of fire is here amongst his bride today. And so there we have it.
