"Jesus Christ, who is the one Lord God Almighty," will be coming back with His angels


Matthew 25:31

Jesus will be coming with his angels and he will sit on his throne. Let’s understand that God said, he would not give his glory to another. God is not giving his glory to another (Isaiah 42:8). God is our Saviour (Isaiah 43:3). God is giving the glory to himself. The Lord Jesus Christ is God our Saviour. Only God will be coming to sit on his throne. Jesus is the Son as well as God himself. One throne, One God. Jesus told us that all power is given to him in heaven and earth. That means; the Almighty power of God belongs to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ said he is the Almighty and his Word is true (Revelation 1:8).

Matthew 28:18

Jesus explains that all power is given to me, whether it is in heaven or on earth. The Deity which is the Heavenly Spirit has incorporated all His power into His glorified body. There is no other God other than Jesus Christ. If there were, he would not have any power; for all the power belongs to Jesus Christ. All the fullness of the Godhead is in Jesus. Jesus is the head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:8-10). God has performed many miracles that has baffled man.

However, the miracle in Matthew 28:18 has to be one of the greatest. Let me give you an understanding of the revelation that God has given me. The transformed body of Jesus is the nucleus of all of God’s power. That power and Spirit of God radiates out of his transformed body to include the entire universe. This transformation is not limited by the body. Jesus’ transformed body is the central focus of the power of the Godhead and is the right hand of the power of God.

The statement in the scriptures, “the right hand of God,” means a position of power in the Godhead. In our human understanding of spatial relationships, God is a Spirit and he has no left or right hand. Therefore, this statement means power and that power has no spatial relationship as to where God is. If God fills the universe, then we know that we won’t see a right hand or right side of God because we cannot see the whole universe.

Thus we can’t see all of the majesty and power of God except in the face and glorified body of Jesus Christ. This glorified body of Jesus Christ is God – The right hand of power. Only in the natural body of Jesus Christ will we be able to see the right hand of God in a spatial type relationship. However, this is not the meaning nor the concept of the words. How do we know that Jesus is the right hand of power? Because God will only glorify himself and he will not give his power to another (Isaiah 42:8).

There is no other gods nor persons in the Godhead other than God himself.  Jesus Christ is the only God and the right hand of the power of God (Isaiah 9:6, Revelation 1:8).

Jesus teaches Peter "how to be born again" using "the keys of the kingdom of heaven"


Matthew 16:13-19

There are three very important points that the Lord related to Peter.

1. Jesus wanted Peter to understand the revelation that he is God, “The Christ.” Jesus knew that no one could get the revelation of who he was unless it came from the Spirit of God. Paul also received the revelation that Jesus was God by the Spirit (Ephesians 3:3-5).

2. Jesus establishes himself as the rock, and he would be the rock upon which the church would be built. Jesus is the God, in Spirit form, who followed the children of Israel in the wilderness. Look at this; who is God, save the Lord, and who is the rock save our God? II Samuel 22:32, 47, I Corinthians 10:4.

I guess you might say, what does this have to do with salvation and baptism? Look at I Corinthians 10:2. The Lord said that the children of Israel passed under the cloud and all passed through the sea were baptized unto Moses. Why were they baptized unto Moses? Because Moses was a type of saviour.

Now, we are to be baptized unto Jesus Christ because he is our Saviour. This establishes the fact that a name is always associated with baptism, not titles. In addition, Jesus lets Peter know that he is God, the rock and the Church would be built upon his name “Jesus Christ.” Jesus Christ is God’s highest name for salvation; for there is no other name whereby we must be saved. There is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. Jesus is that one Lord, and the one baptism is in the name of the Rock, Jesus Christ.

These scriptures let us know that Jesus is both Lord and God. And salvation is built on the name of God, Jesus Christ, “The Rock.” Through grace, faith, repentance, baptism and the reception of the Holy Spirit we are saved by Jesus Name.

3. Jesus gives Peter the “keys of the kingdom of heaven.” What Jesus said was that whatever Peter binds on earth, it would be bound in heaven and whatever he loose on earth would be loosed in heaven. This is one of the major highlights of this book, “the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Wouldn’t you think that this act was extremely important and that it might be important to our salvation? We should know what the keys were; and how they were used.

When Peter gave the born again scripture, Acts 2:38, he said that everyone should;

1st key, repent,

2nd key, be baptized in Jesus name,

3rd key, and receive the Holy Spirit. This is the first time Peter used the “keys of the kingdom of heaven” to open the door, Jesus Christ, to the Church. This born again scripture has been bound on earth and is bound in heaven and Peter did not loose it.

All the apostles, preached, taught and baptized in the name of Jesus as spoken by Peter. Why would anyone baptize in titles or any other way not ordained and approved by Jesus Christ nor the apostles?

Preachers are always talking about following leadership and being obedient. Why don’t they follow the leadership of Peter and be obedient by baptizing people in the name of Jesus Christ?

Do they not understand or do they just refuse to obey? It’s so important that we obey the gospel because we will all see Jesus Christ when he comes with his mighty angels and in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ (II Thessalonians 1:7-8). When Jesus comes to sit on his throne, unbelievers’ eyes will be opened but it will be too late to say, now I believe.
