The Counsel Of Peace

Shalom In Yahshua and welcome once again to our study of Yahshua as revealed to us in  Hebrews 1.

A Review:

In our last post we learned several important points:

1. To more deeply understand Heb.1:2 we need to understand more the relationship that exists between YHWH and YAHSHUA.
2. Yahshua is as eternal as His Father.
3. They are equal in all things: Power, Wisdom, Knowledge, & Love. And these attributes of Deity are Infinite.
4. Thier love for each other is exhaust-less and eternal.
5.Yahshua came from the bosom of the Father.
6. Yahshua is the only NON created Being in all the Universe and  who can understand the height, the depth, and the breadth of Infinite wisdom and power of YHWH and the only ONE called into ALL His counsels.
7. By virtue of the Oneness of Deity; YHWH decided to create all things by and for Yahshua; His dearly Beloved.
8. YHWH knew; from the beginning that sin would enter the universe.
9. Yahshua stepped forward and requested of His Father to be "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
10. A special meeting was held at which point bestowals of special honors,rank and authority were conferred. 

 The points above are made simply as a review. If you've not read our previous post we invite you to do so before moving into this study.

We bring to view 3 points from our previous study with a view to develop them more fully in this post.

1. Yahshua's appointment as heir of all things, 
2. Yahshua as Creator.and,
3. Yahshua as Redeemer.

Points 1 and 2 above are thoughts from Heb.1:2 and point 3 is from Heb. 1:1. For YHWH spake in time past for the express purpose to redeem us. For His Word is Life (Jn.6:63); therefore when He spoke, it was to give life to all.

By virtue of Yahshua's offering of Himself as our substitute and sacrifice; it pleased YHWH to; in a secondary sense; confer upon Him the office of Creator, and the title of Supreme Authority over all creation. Please keep in mind that Yahshua had in Himself power to create; for He is Elohim in the highest sense of the word. However, because of His great love for YHWH, and His willing to become the surety for the entire universe; it pleased YHWH to make Him the active Agent in the great enterprise of Creation. Therefore, YHWH also appointed Him to be the Heir of all things. All things that Yahshua would create would be His inheritance forever! But Yahshua never carries out projects of creation independent of  His Father's agreement and input (Gen.1:26;Jn.10:30). This is also true in the Project of Redemption. (Zech. 6:12,13) (Jn.8:28); (Jn.5:17,19,30)

Yahshua was appointed heir of all things because He was appointed Creator of all things, because He was to be the Redeemer of all things.

We've now answered the question posed in the previous post as to why Yahshua was appointed heir of all things, we now wish to touch on the subject of when did this meeting take place and do we have a Scriptural position for it? First, let us consider the following:

In Ps. 33:11 it says, "  The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

[It is] the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings [is] to search out a matter. (Prov.25:2)

 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me [to] glory.(Ps.73:24)

 With him [is] wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.(Job.12:13)

 [Every] purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war. (Prov.20:18)

 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;(Isa.11:2)

 O LORD, thou [art] my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful [things; thy] counsels of old [are] faithfulness [and] truth.(Isa.25:1)

We now have before us 7 verses of Scripture, seven pillars of the wisdom of YHWH upon which we build. (Prov.9:1)

We leave you with this thought:

"Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both."

Shalom & Ahava in Yahshua.
