Christ Operating in the Godhead.
The next topic, I believe in relation to Christ & eschatology is the Divine Procession – how the Godhead operates. This I see will eventually lead to what they are doing & when that will happen. I`m interested in your thoughts. Here are mine –
We know that Jesus is part of the Godhead – Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
Jesus is Equal with the Father –
“For as the Father raises the dead & gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.” (John 5: 21)
Jesus has Unity with the Father –
“I and my Father are one.” (John 10: 30)
Jesus is of One Mind with the Father.
“....the word which you hear is not mine but the Father`s who sent me.` (John 14: 24)
Jesus is the Son of God & has intuitive insight & personal apprehension of the Father such as no one else possesses, which indicates His unity in Godhead. Only Deity can reveal Deity, only God can express Godhead, & only sonship can manifest fatherhood, because the very soul of sonship is likeness of will.
This is the basis of our belief in the Lord. However to properly understand eschatology we also need to know how the Godhead functions, how they operate. This is what I believe -
The Divine Procession.
The Godhead - At the source there is the provision by the whole Godhead,
The Father - with the initial movement of the Father;
The Son - the administration of the Son;
The Holy Spirit - and the direct agency of the Holy Spirit.
We may not have thought on this topic before but it is well worth the effort as it brings greater clarity, I believe, to what God is doing & how He will fulfill His purposes.
What are your thoughts?
What scriptures show the individual operation by the Godhead members?
