study on the book of Philippians written by Paul to the church at Philippi to the church members at Philippi actually the world the second chapter verse number six we're studying it from the Greek text and it is fantastic from the original language that's all I can say We'll start off here reading in the Greek, and we're going to refer back to the Amplified Bible also, off and on here. HOS MORPHE SIOU HIPARKON OUK AR POG MOAN HEGE SATO TO ENE ISSA SIOU who that's nominative singular masculine interrogative relative pronoun there who inform morphe the absolute essence of it means to step down and out of here jesus is going to step down and out of his pre-incarnate glory and take the form, the morphe, who in the form of God, he was God. Constantly being and existing, that's nominative, singular, masculine, present participle, active. From eternity past, way back yonder over here, Jesus constantly existed In John 1 and 1, N-R-K-A-N-H-O-L-O-G-O-S, in beginning, when nothing else was, N-R-K, locative singular feminine, N-R-K, in beginning of all beginnings, he constantly existed.

Exodus 3.14, Genesis 22.14, John 10.30, and John 20, and verse 28. These are all scriptures in the New Testament that teach this. You can also go to Colossians, the whole first chapter of the verse of Colossians, and then Philippians, the second chapter here. This is all about the deity of Christ. All of this. I don't know how anyone can have a Bible and not believe in the deity of Christ. Simple as that. Now, verse number seven. He is our Goel. Goel. That's a Hebrew word. He is our kinsman redeemer. It starts here in Allah, Hiyaton, Anoson, Morphain, Dulu, Labon, En, homeo-mati, anthropon, geno-menos, chi, schemata, urethes, hos, anthropos, our kinsman-redeemer. But, a little strong adversity of conjunction there, Ola, page 15, he himself accuses singular masculine reflexively pronominal adjective there. He, himself, he poured out. He poured out. Jesus poured it out. That means to divert oneself to all inward desires, but for, it means to deprive oneself for others' sake. He poured out. In form, in form, that's a little morphine there, it's accusative singular, in form of slave. Belonging to being a slave, genitive singular masculine, doulos, one that's bought and paid for and in chains. Having received, there's a lot of bone there, that's nominative singular masculine present, or second heiress participle active, second heiress, that means this, this is this action that is punctiliar but with a little more durativa. Durative linear action there having in likeness of homeo mate likeness comes from homeos and Likeness of men. This is our go well here. This is the Hebrew word go well having become Jesus became a flesh John 114 Maryland. What is John 114 Chi? I and the word or the Jehovah flesh he became and he became for himself God through Jesus Christ came into the world and he became flesh for himself he did it himself something else didn't cause it to happen he did it the eternal God divested himself of that all that complete glory that he had before and become human flesh without sin, without the sin nature, without the blood of Adam, but the blood of God in him. Having become Chi, and in fashion, having been found, look at that word Escamata, that word Escamata, when you have a radio, or you have a build a house, it has a Escamata, or a blueprint. Now he was in the goel, in the schemata. As he looked in the eyes of the world, as the world looked at him, he was a human being. He was human. He had to eat, he had to sleep, he had to drink, all these things. He had become fragile. And in fashion, or in the schematas, having been found, that's nomine singular, masculine, first there's part of simple passive voice having been found as that little uh... particle there as page four hundred and forty-four as on suppose as mankind jesus jehovah himself emptied himself of the complete deity in glory which he always had forever for all eternity past he always had been to become for us like us so he could redeem us. And that's why Jesus Christ is going to be the judge. He's going to judge all of us because he was flesh just like we are. He realizes the temptations. He realizes the frailty of the human body and mind and spirit. 2 in verse 8 now. Etapenousin. Yalton, Genomenos, Hippecus, Macri, Thanatou, Thanatou, Dei, Staron, Staron. And he humbled himself. Third person singular, first person aristotelian, dignity of active. That is punctilious action. When God became flesh, he humbled himself. The moment that Jesus was conceived, God had humbled himself as Jehovah had become our Redeemer. He had made himself less and more fragile than he ever was. He is a creator God. Yet he humbled himself. He was not humbled, but he humbled himself. He was not humbled, but he humbled himself. Having become genomenos, nominee singular mass and present participle middle voice having become for himself again this is like John 114 and it's like the same verb form is in John 118 no one has seen God at any time but the only begotten God the one being in the bosom of the father that one has led himself out that's the middle voice same one second errors middle voice obedient hippo coups this word obedient and then makri is a little adverb of time there and it means right to the point of death right to the point of death of death of death even the cross now he's a bloodied one a bloodied one You know, in this unto the death, the death of the cross here, people on the cross bled. They bled. They bled. They dehydrated. They just literally died on that cross, began the process of dying on that cross. Now, a lot of royal people, royalty, in England, they would go fox hunting, they would go to Africa, they would hunt lions, they would hunt elephants and tigers, they would hunt different kind of animals, and then when they would kill the animal, they would take the animal and dip something in blood and put on their cheeks blood, and they were blooded ones. In other words, they had killed. They had killed. They had killed. Indians, when they went out and killed an animal, a lot of times they would be thankful for it. They'd thank God for the animal's life, but then they'd eat part of its liver so it would live in them. They'd take out the warm liver and eat part of that liver so that that animal would be part of them. And they would be blooded. They were blooded. God blooded himself. God blooded himself. God Jesus Christ poured out his absolute what we might call he was indestructible God is indestructible but when Jesus Christ became flesh when Jehovah became flesh that flesh became destructible it was destructible they killed him didn't they They took him on a cross, put him on a cross. I say they killed him, but in all reality, he released himself from that body. He went back to heaven, and then when he took that body back up again, then it became non-destructive, indestructible again. You know, when we live in this world, we live in a destructible body. Even when we're born again, when you're born again, That's a very misunderstood term. When God births us, when we repent of our sins, when we call upon Him, when we believe in His Son, when we ask Him to save our souls, we are born again. We were born the first time into this world. We're born into sin. We're born with our Father's blood in us, which has the sin nature in it. And then when we're born again, we're born from above. We still live in this body. And the body is sensible. The body is fragile. The body is able to be touched by sin and by disease and all of that. We get colds, we get flu, we get cancer. I've had cancer for 23 years, I think it is now. We all are destructible. But the soul and spirit in us are not destructible. And that soul and spirit is the one that guides our bodies. Our bodies want to go the wrong way so many times. But the spirit and soul in us that come from God, that spirit, makes us not feel comfortable doing whatever we're doing wrong. Because we're no longer in the flesh reality. Our spirits are living in what we call foreign territory now. Your born again spirit in you is in a foreign land. You're in you're in a foreign battleground so to speak We're in a foreign land in a formal for a foreign battleground Verse number nine now verse number nine Dio Kai, ho Theos, I'll tone he pair rips omit then Kai a car east auto and I'll toll toll on my toll he paid her pawn on my wherefore this little D and whole there's what it comes from Dia and whole wherefore also that little cumulative term particle right there page 208 is not a and is not a but but also here wherefore also the God The only God there is that is nominee singular masculine definite article nominee singular masculine Theos The God him Now God is going to exalt Jesus how tall that kills these singular mass and third person pronoun He pair ropes all sins He shall be highly exalted. He shall be pushed up and away, up, up, and away. This word here is a platonic word from Plato, and it's only used one time in the New Testament. It's third person singular, first person direct, indicative, active, even when it comes to some heap header. Ripso, ripso, so-o. Highly exalted, pushed him way up and above everything else, and the conjunction there, He gave for himself, third person singular, first person indicative, middle voice. These middle voices mean a lot. The voices and tenses here mean a lot. Having given himself, having given himself, for himself, to him, dative singular, masculine, third person pronoun, the name To'onema. The voluntary supreme act of humility now is going to become glorification. Because Jesus did what he did, he is now glorified above everything. No man ever did what Jesus did. No man ever did what Jesus did. He lived in the world for basically 33 and a half years, and he lived without sin, And he died on that cross without complaining. Now in the Garden of Gethsemane, the whole weight of the human body was upon him. He was wrestling in that Garden of Gethsemane with his flesh. Because his flesh was afraid of the pain. Can you imagine the pain of being whipped like it was whipped? And then having your wrist, the carpal tunnel right here, a nail driven through that. and nailed to it. This is the God of the universe that created all things was succumbed to this treatment voluntarily. He gave for himself to him the name, the one above every name. That glory he took back to heaven with him. But he took back something to heaven that he didn't bring from heaven. Jesus took back something from heaven that he didn't bring from heaven. Jehovah, when he became flesh, he became flesh in time and space. He became flesh of that little girl, 15 year old or whatever she was, little virgin there, in Bethlehem. Not Bethlehem, but Nazareth. Then she, in a fragile way and heavily pregnant, traveled down all the way to Bethlehem, where she gave birth to this child without being in a real good hospital or anything else. Just in a stable, just in a cave in the side of a mountain is what it was. Without any assistance. And she brought forth this God-man, that was fragile, that needed milk, that needed care, just like every other little child that was ever born. He depended on this woman and this man to take care of him until he was old enough to take care of himself. Let's go one more verse here and then we'll finish this class. In order that in the name of Jesus In order to that, that little conjunction, page 201 in, page 137 in, the name, the onomatopoeia, and that's locative singular, in the name of Jesus, upon all, that little adjective there, all, every knee, it shall bend. Upon the heavens, that means in heaven, and upon the earth, epigeon. agon the earthly ones and the ones down under the earth. Everything in heaven, everything upon the earth, and everything in the regions of the eternal damnation shall show respect to the Creator. There will not be one atheist. There will not be one atheist in the eternal ages. They will all be believers and they will all bend the knee to Jesus. Now you're not sent to hell because of your sins, you're sent to hell because you're rejecting the Messiah God. And everyone, Jesus died for all these people except they did not accept him. They will be judged for rejection. And then how bad a sin they've committed, but it will be, they will be judged mainly for rejecting Christ. Everything in heaven and upon the earth and down under the earth in the infernal regions shall show respect to the Creator. Romans 14, 11, Ephesians 1 and 10, Revelation 19, 11, and on, on from there. Jesus Christ is the Creator God. Jesus Christ is our Savior. The One that created the heavens and the earth. The One that holds all things together. That One came and became flesh allowed himself to be humiliated and beaten and cursed and slapped and humiliated, allowed them to put him on the cross, and then allowed them to crucify him, humiliate him, all of these people humiliating him, and these were religious people that were supposed to be doing his will. They were his servants, and yet he became their servants. unto death. Let's read this now from the Amplified Bible, these few verses that we've studied so far. Who, although he existed in the form and unchanging essence of God, as one with him, possessing the fullness of the divine attributes and the entire nature of deity, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped or asserted to as if he did not already possess it or was afraid of losing it, but emptied himself without renouncing or diminishing his deity. Jesus always said, you're going to see me and standing at the right hand, on the right side, the highest authority in heaven. You will see me standing in the highest authority in heaven. And they spit in his face. They slapped him. They beat him. But emptied himself without renouncing the diminishing his deity, but only temporarily giving up the outward expression of divine equality and his rightful dignity by assuming the form of a bondservant and being made in the likeness of man, he became completely human, but was without sin, fully being God and fully man. After he was found, in terms of his outward appearance as a man, for a divinely appointed time, he humbled himself still further by becoming obedient to the Father to the point of death, even the death of the cross, For this reason also, because he obeyed and so completely humbled himself, God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, even the Father, every name. Jesus Christ, Jehovah, became flesh and died for us that we could go and be with fellowship with the Father and call upon the Father. Jesus did it. so that in the name of Jesus every knee shall bow in submission of those who are in heaven and upon the earth and down under the earth. Isaiah 45 and verse 23. That's quite a revelation, isn't it? Islam doesn't believe that. The Witnesses really don't believe that. The Muslims don't believe that at all. They'll tell you that Jesus was a prophet. Jesus was not a prophet. He was God. His prophecy, of course he prophesied, but he was God. That was God prophesying. We see all of this. We see God in the form of man for us unworthy subjects. We're not worthy. We're not worthy to go to heaven to ever spend one hour with Jesus. We're not worthy of that. Only by what Jesus did do we have access to glory in heaven. Our Father, we come to you and we thank you for this message. We thank you for the revelation. We thank you for our Savior that bought us because he first became obedient. And Father, thank you for all the blessings you give us. In Jesus' name we pray, and please forgive me where I fail you. Amen.
