[2] SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [824B]
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:5 – 6, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
James, the brother of Jesus (Yeshua) wrote under inspiration at James 3:17, [AV] “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” And as stated at James 5:8, [AV] “Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.” Jesus (Yeshua) said to his disciples at Luke 12:22, [AV] “And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.” Yes, if we lack wisdom, it is stated at James 1:5, [AV] “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” Truly, per Psalms 145:18, [AV] “The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.”
John 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. [Authorized King James - AV]
This is an interesting scripture that by itself looks somewhat strange, but considered in content it shows a man believing in Jesus (Yeshua) over a little thing. However, many who should believe in Jesus (Yeshua) who have access to much more information about the Messiah fail to recognize him as the Son of God as did Nathanael, see John 1:45-48, "Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!" Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." (AV) Then Jesus (Yeshua) said to him, John 1:50, "Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these."
These scriptures are reinforced by the testimony of other renown Apostles, Luke 24:25-27, "And *he* said to them, O senseless and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory? And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself." (The Darby Translation) Which clearly shows the vanity of believing in senseless things such as the Duality and/or Trinity instead of believing that Jesus (Yeshua) is clearly the Son of God, a distinct entity apart from his Father (YHWH), as did Nathanael. This is made certain by the Apostle John at John 1:35-38, "Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples; and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God! And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), where abideth thou?" (American Standard Version - ASV). Thus we can clearly discern that Jesus (Yeshua) is the Lamb of God or Logos [word], the Son of God, John 1:14 says, "And the Word 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." (AV) and clearly shows that he is "the only begotten of the Father" and not just a manifestation of his Father (YHWH); to be just a manifestation instead of a distinct entity separate and apart from his Father (YHWH) the scriptures would need to read 'God the Son'; whereas, they clearly read 'Son of God.'
