Revelation 1:14(Kjv)
14-HIS HEAD AND HIS HAIRS WERE WHITE LIKE WOOL,- as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 -AND HIS FEET LIKE UNTO FINE BRASS, AS IF THEY BURNED IN A FURNACE;- and his voice as the sound of many waters.
(This is the description of Christ in particular But notice the Bible says that "His head and his hairs were white like wool." Meaning, the hair on his head and the hair on his beard where nappy in texture.
The same type of wooly hair that Negroes have.
"And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace."
If you take brass and burn it in a furnace it comes out dark brown. This is showing the complexion of Christ's skin.
Now let's also confirm that Christ is speaking the truth by making reference to a vision that Daniel had about how God himself looks.)
Daniel 7:9(Kjv)
9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the-ANCIENT OF DAYS-did sit, whose garment was white as snow-AND THE HAIR OF HIS HEAD LIKE THE PURE WOOL- his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
(There is no one more ancient than days than the Most High. This vision is of the Almighty Father himself.
This is the only way that God could show himself to man before Christ declared him. This scripture confirms that Christ does look like His Father. A splitting Image of him. But they are not the same. And God's word is bond between them.)
# WakeUpIsrael

Luke 3:21(Kjv)
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, -THE HEAVEN WAS OPENED,-
22 And the -HOLY GHOST- descended in a bodily shape like a dove-UPON HIM,- and -A VOICE CAME FROM HEAVEN,- which said,-THOU ART MY BELOVED SON; IN THEE I AM WELL PLEASED-
(Here in this scripture it again clearly shows the 3 separate entities of Trinity. Here you have 1. Christ on the earth. 2. The Holy Spirit descending like a dove. And 3. the Heavenly Father above watching over them.
Three separate entities. Here is John the Baptist bearing witness to this same thing happening because he was there with Christ when it happened. Let's see if John claims that Christ is God or the Son of God.)
John 1:32 (Kjv)
32-AND JOHN BARE RECORD,- saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
34 -AND I SAW, AND BARE RECORD THAT THIS IS THE SON OF GOD-
(Even John the Baptist said that he "BARE RECORD" not that Christ is the Almighty God but the SON OF GOD.
If God physically came to earth and walked and talked with man don't you know that you won't last 1 minute in his presence.
Our spirits are not powerful enough to be in God's presence and live. That is another way that you know Christ and God are not the same. here is proof.)
Exodus 33:20(Kjv)
20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face:-FOR THERE SHALL NO MAN SEE ME, AND LIVE-
21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts:-BUT MY FACE SHALL NOT BE SEEN.-
(At that time Moses was the only man that came close to seeing God. So how can Christ and God be the same if you cannot see God and live.
Chris is the only Man that has seen the Father physically and not in a vision or dream. And here is what he looks like.)
John 14:8(Kjv)
8 Philip saith unto him-LORD, SHOW US THE FATHER-and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?-HE THAT HATH SEEN ME HATH SEEN THE FATHER;-and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
(Even the Disciples were curious of what the Most High looks like. This scripture does not mean that Christ and God are the same.
This just goes to show how much Christ is just like his Father. They have the same name, they think alike. They even look alike. Christ is a Jr.)
John 1:18(Kjv)
18-NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME,- the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, -HE HATH DECLARED HIM-
(Christ is the one who has declared what God himself looks like. If God visited this earth he would come down here looking just like his Son.
Well his son was a dark skinned man with wooly hair from the Tribe of Judah. Christ looked just like a "Black" man because he is from the same lineage as Negroes are in America.
Our people left Israel approximately 70 A.D. and we fled from the Roman Siege. We Migrated into Africa were we had been rounded up and sold into slavery.
So as we read about the description of Christ just know that He looks just like his Father. Like father like son.)

Revelation 1:1 (Kjv)
1 -THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST-which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
2 -WHO BARE RECORD OF THE WORD OF GOD, AND OF THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST, AND OF ALL THINGS THAT HE SAW-
(If it didn't matter what color Christ was this wouldn't be written in the Bible.)

GOD
1: ??The Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe??
2: ??A being or object believed to have more than natural attributes and powers and to require human worship;?? specifically : one controlling a particular aspect or part of reality
3: A person or thing of supreme value
4: ??A powerful ruler??
(Is not Christ all of these things? Christ is a God but he is not the ALMIGHTY FATHER. There is a difference.
Here is the scripture that Christ quoted to the Pharisees. Which makes him innocent of the crime that he was put to death for. Which was the crime called Blasphemy.)
Psalm 82:1(Kjv)
1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty-HE JUDGETH AMONG THE GODS-
***READING DOWN***
Psalm 82:6(Kjv)
6 I have said,-YE ARE GODS-and all of you are children of the most High.
(As you can see Christ was also convicted of a crime that he did not commit. Continuing in John.)
John 10:35(Kjv)
35 -IF HE CALLED THEM GODS, UNTO WHOM THE WORD OF GOD CAME, AND THE SCRIPTURE CANNOT BE BROKEN;-
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest;-BECAUSE I SAID, I AM THE ??SON?? OF GOD?-
(And as you can see Christ did not claim to be the ALL MIGHTY GOD that he was been convicted of. But he claimed to be the SON of God. Again. Christ and God are not the same entity. But here is more proof.)
Philippians 2:6(Kjv)
6 Who, being -IN THE FORM OF GOD-THOUGHT IT NOT ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD-
Philippians 2:9(Kjv)
9 -WHEREFORE GOD ALSO HATH HIGHLY EXALTED HIM,-AND GIVEN HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME:-
(The name that was given to Christ that is above all names is the name of the ALMIGHTY GOD himself.
Just like a father who names his son after his own name. God named his Son after himself. The true ancient Hebrew name of God is Yahawah which means "HE IS."
Christ also bears this name Jesus Christ in Ancient Hebrew is Yahawah-Shi which means "HE IS ANOINTED."
I understand that there is a lot of controversy over the correct name of the Most HigH and Christ. I ask that if you do not believe this part of the lesson.
Delete it from your memory but listen to the rest. As for me, when I pray to the Father I know that "I AM" nothing. "HE IS" everything and "HE IS ANOINTED." But moving on.
Christ is the connection between man and the Father. The connection that had been broken with Adam back in the Garden of Eden.
Through Christs' blood we are able to be adopted back as Sons of God also. Our forefather Jacob had a vision of Christ being that connection or stairway/ladder to the father. Here is proof.)

Genesis 28:10(Kjv)
10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12 And he dreamed, and behold -A LADDER- set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God -ASCENDING AND DESCENDING ON IT.-
(Here is that same dream with more understanding that proves Christ is the ladder that Jacob dreamed of.
Christ is the connection between man and the Father being reestablished through Christ.)
John 1:51 (Kjv)
51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open,-AND THE ANGELS OF GOD ASCENDING AND DESCENDING UPON THE SON OF MAN.-
John 1:12(Kjv)
12 But as many as received him, -TO THEM GAVE HE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD,-even to them that believe on his name:
(Through the Son of God we are no longer just sons and daughters of men. But Sons and Daughters of God himself.
This is the adoption back to the father. Now we are able to become ONE with Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Almighty Father.)

Psalm 8:5(Kjv)
5 -FOR THOU HAST MADE HIM A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS- and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
(Here you see the scriptures prophesying about Christ being made in earthly form as man. Letting you know that Christ is a God.)
Hebrews 2:7(Kjv)
7 -THOU MADEST HIM A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS- thou crownedst him with glory and honour, -AND DIDST SET HIM OVER THE WORKS OF THY HANDS:-
(Now you see the fulfillment of this prophecy of Christ. The Most High created Christ and Christ was given the authority to create the world for himself with the word of the Most High. Our universe is just a part of an area in the heavenly realm of the Most High that is ruled by the Son of God.)
Hebrews 2:8(Kjv)
8 -THOU HAST PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET.- For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
9 -BUT WE SEE JESUS, WHO WAS MADE A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS- for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
(Now ask yourself. If God and Christ were the same. Why does the scriptures say
"Thou madest him a little lower than the angels" which indicates that their are two separate entities present?
Well because there was. God and Christ. God made Christ a little lower than the Angels. They are not the same.
But they are so identical in nature you would think they were one. Here are more scriptures that prove that Christ is considered a God.)
John 10:27(Kjv)
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 -AND I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE- and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 -MY FATHER, WHICH GAVE THEM ME, IS GREATER THAN ALL- and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30-I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE.-
(Here in verse 30 when the Bible says that "I and my Father are one." That doesn't mean that Christ is God. It means that Christ and God the Father AGREE in one through the Word. Here is proof.)
1 John 5:5(Kjv)
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is -THE SON OF GOD?-
(If the previous scriptures aren't clear enough. verse 5 is clearly stating that God and Christ are two separate entities. You would be mad to think this verse is claiming them to be one entity.)
***READING ON***

1 John 5:6 (Kjv)
6 This is he that came by water and blood, -EVEN JESUS CHRIST;- not by water only, but by water and blood.-AND-- it is the -SPIRIT THAT BEARETH WITNESS, BECAUSE THE SPIRIT IS TRUTH.-
7 For there are -THREE- that bear record in heaven, the FATHER, the -WORD,- and the -HOLY GHOST:- and these three are ONE.
8 And there are -THREE-- that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three -AGREE IN ONE.-
(Like Father Like Son. Getting back to the previous scriptures that prove that Christ is a God.)
John 10:31(Kjv)
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but -FOR BLASPHEMY;-and because that thou, -BEING A MAN, MAKEST THYSELF GOD.-
34 Jesus answered them-IS IT NOT WRITTEN IN YOUR LAW, I SAID, YE ARE GODS?-
(Here is the definition of the word God.)
Merriam Webster's Dictionary

According to the Bible. The Most High, Christ, and the Holy Spirit are separate entities. They are NOT the same but they agree in one.

Meaning they are a unit. Like Father like Son. Both having the same Spirit.
Let's eat...
The misconception of God coming to the earth in human form comes from the book of John the first chapter. Here it is from the KJV
John 1:1(Kjv)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
(Well starting from the "Word" let's break this down so that the understanding of Trinity comes out.
In verse one when it says "In the beginning was the Word." According to the Bible the "Word" is the wisdom and understanding that comes from the Father. Here is proof.)
Proverbs 8:1 (Kjv)
1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
(Here you see the subject of the writing is wisdom and understanding.)
***READING DOWN***
Proverbs 8:22(Kjv)
22 The Lord possessed me ??IN THE BEGINNING?? of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting-FROM THE BEGINNING,- or ever the earth was.
(Notice in this verse the Bible says that "Wisdom" and "Understanding" was with God in the BEGINNING.
Not only was wisdom and understanding with God in the beginning, Christ was with God as well in the beginning and it was Christ who used that same "WORD" (Which is the wisdom and understanding that came from the Father) to form the earth.
This is why I said that God, the word, and Christ agree in one.) Here is proof.
Colossians 1:14(Kjv)
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, -THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE: -
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
(God sent out his "WORD" which had been with him in the beginning. Christ used the "WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING" that came from the Father to create the world that we live in.
When the scriptures say "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." This part of the scripture is referring to all things that consists during the formation of creation.
The Heavenly realm where God is had been created before the Earth, and their is no beginning to God. Christ created everything in our universe. With the word of God.)

John 17:17(Kjv)
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: -THY WORD IS TRUTH.-
John 14:26(Kjv)
26 But the--COMFORTER, WHICH IS THE HOLY GHOST-whom the Father will send in my name, -HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS- and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
(These three scriptures are proof that the Comforter, Spirit of truth, and the Holy Ghost are all the same which is the word of God (Wisdom and understanding).
They are all the same but they are not God or Christ. This means that Christ agrees with God and he does not deviate from Gods word. Here is proof.)

John 14:10(Kjv)
10 Believest thou not that -I AM IN THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER IN ME?- the -WORDS- that I speak unto you -I SPEAK NOT OF MYSELF: BUT THE FATHER THAT DWELLETH IN ME, HE DOETH THE WORKS-
Matthew 5:17(Kjv)
17-THINK NOT THAT I AM COME TO DESTROY THE LAW, OR THE PROPHETS:- I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

(Christ didn't come to do away with the Laws of the Father or change any of the prophecies that the Father prophesied. They think alike. This is why I said "Like Father like Son.")
