@kjw47,
Quote:1Thess 4:16--Upon Jesus return comes with the voice of the archangel--Only 2 possible scenarios here--It is Jesus' voice or Michael loans it to him--Which do you think?
The voice of which archangel? Here are the names of twelve of the archangels, Metatron, Raziel, Cassiel, Zadkiel, Camael, Michael, Uriel, Haniel, Raphael, Jophiel, Gabriel, Sandalphon, if I were to choose one, it would be the archangel Metatron. I don’t know from where your false teachers come up with the idea that Jesus is the archangel Michael in the flesh, and frankly, I’m not interested.
Sandalphon is an archangel in Jewish and Christian writings. Sandalphon figures prominently in the mystical literary traditions of Rabbinic Judaism and early Christianity, notably in the Midrash, Talmud, and Kabbalah.
Some of the earliest sources on Sandalphon refer to him as the prophet Elijah transfigured and elevated to angelic status. Sandalphron and Metatron are post human angels, Metatron is the name that was given to Enoch after he had been translated from a body of corruptible matter into a glorious body of incorruptible light, and Sandalphron, is in fact Elijah’s angelic name after he was carried up and was also transfigured.
Metatron is also mentioned in the Pseudepigrapha, most prominently in the Hebrew Book of Enoch (also called Third Enoch), in which his grand title, "The lesser YHVH" (The Son of The MOST-HIGH) resurfaces. It is also said that Enoch/Metatron. The anointed one=CHRIST, was the angel who guided Israel through the wilderness.
"The Book of the Secrets of Enoch" 22: 8; "And I fell prone and bowed down to the Lord, and the Lord with his lips said to me: "Have courage, Enoch, do not fear, arise and stand before my face into eternity."
And the archistratiege Michael lifted me up and led me before the Lord’s face.
[Archistratege. Or, "the commander of the armies of the nations, named Michael."]
And the Most-High said to the glorious creatures that surrounded him, tempting them: "Let Enoch stand before my face into eternity," and the glorious creatures bowed down to the Lord, and said: "Let Enoch go [Or be released] according to Thy word."
And the Lord said to Michael: "Go take Enoch from out his earthly garments, and anoint him with my sweet ointment, and put him into the garments of my glory."
And Michael did thus as the Lord told him. He anointed me, and dressed me, and the appearance of that ointment is more than the great light, and his ointment is like sweet dew, and its smell mild, shining like the sun’s rays, and I looked at myself, and was like one of his glorious ones.
To translate something is to change it from one form to another. Hebrews 11: 5; “By faith Enoch was translated so that he should not experience death, and he was not found because God had translated him.”
Hebrews 11: 5; By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him, etc.
The author of the book of Hebrews could not have known that Enoch was anointed as the heir and successor to the throne of the MOST HIGH in the creation and translated into a spiritual being in order that he should not experience death, if he had not read "The Book of the Secrets of Enoch", the only place where the anointing of Enoch occurs.
The word “
CHRIST” means “The Anointed One.” Enoch was the one anointed by the Most-High in the creation, ‘The Lord of Creatures,’ as his Heir and successor, (The Son of Man) who is Lord of spirits.
Christ is the English term for the Greek Χριστός (Khristós) meaning "the anointed one" It is a translation of the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (Māšîaḥ), usually transliterated into English as Messiah or Mashiach. The Hebrew word translated "anointed" is the verb form of the noun "Messiah."
But you continue to believe what "YOUR' teachers want you to believe.
I wonder, do they also teach you that Jesus was conceived in the womb of Mary without the introduction of male semen into her uterus? But more importantly, if they do so, do you believe them?
