Yahshua Preeminent In All Things (Pt.1)

Shalom In Yahshua and welcome once again to our study of Yahshua as revealed to us in  Hebrews 1:1-4. 
 
A Summary of the previous post entitled 'Yahshua Sustainer of All Things'.

1. Yahshua continually exercises His power in upholding all things.

2.  That only in Yahshua do all things consist ( band or hold together)

3. All nature reverberated with Yahshua's dying shout of victory.

4. Being the Creator of all things;Yahshua, through His expiring word and death, all things in earth and shamayim (heaven) were reconciled to Him.  

5. At His triumph over the forces of darkness; at the shout of 'It is finished' the heavens declare the wondrous news from world to world.

6. The death of Yahshua on the cross constituted the second casting down of Satan. All sympathy was purged out of the celestial courts of shamayim as all beheld the sufferings of Yahshua; which is the reconciling of things in shamayim (heaven) spoken of in Col.1:20

7. That there will be a third and final casting down of Satan at the end of his one thousand year banishment.

8. The heavens will once more declare the glory of YHWH as prophesied in Ps.50:6




Today's Teaching: 


We will look at the latter part of Heb. 1:3 together with the following verses: Col.1:12-18.

 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; (Heb.1:3)
 

 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son: 

In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins: 

 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 

 

 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: 

 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 

 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have the preeminence. (Col.1:12-18)

 For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all fulness dwell; 

 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say], whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven. (Col.1:20)

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in [your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled  

In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  

For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under [him, it is] manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 

And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 

From a selection of  the above Scriptures (shown in bold font) we understand the following: 

1. That the Plan of Redemption included the complete purging of our sins by Yahshua and His precious blood being shed for us. That is to say that our sins are so completely taken away from us that we are declared to be unblameable, clean/pure before Him. (Col.1:22;Ps.51:7)

2. As a result of Yahshua's  sacrifice we are 'meet' (rendered fit)[Strong's G2427] to receive the inheritance of the saints in light. This includes the gift of immortality and the inheritance of this earth in its renewed state. And for all this we should give thanks to Him.


3. The Plan of Redemption foresaw our total deliverance from the power of darkness and its dominion. This includes:
3a. total victory over sin ("And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. (Ps.119:133);(Rom.6:14) (1Pet.1:16) (Mat.5:48) (Jude 24-25)

4. Through YHWH'S plan of Redemption we are translated into the kingdom of His dear Son. (That is to say we become citizens of YHWH'S kingdom in the present tense).
5. The benefits of Plan of Redemption is through His (Yahshua's Blood). {personal note: a great discovery and very deep science is behind us receiving redemption through His blood}.More on this soon (YHWH'S desire) on our sister blog Arrested For Sedition.
6. This redemption includes the forgiveness of sins that are past. (Rom.3:25)
 7. Yahshua is the 'image' of the invisible Elohim. That is to say if we have seen Yahshua we have seen the Father.(Jhn.14:9)
8. Yahshua is the 'Firstborn' of every creature. That is to say that He is preeminent or (the cause Agent) of every created being/or thing. 
9. All things were created by Him including all things that are in heaven. That is to say Yahshua made all things in the Universe. 
10. The list of all things that Yahshua made in heaven and in earth include: Thrones--(which suggests kingdoms; for there are no thrones without governments and kingdoms) Dominions: Thrones are symbols of the seat of power over a dominion over which the occupier of that throne(s) preside. Principalities: It can be said that many thrones and dominions have principal figures which are first among that governmental power. Therefore principalities refer to many heads of state/governments or worlds.(even as Adam was give dominion over this world but lost that to Satan when he obeyed him (Gen.1:26;Rom.6:16). Principalities are demonstrated  in how YHWH has ordered the angels. There is rank and station among the heavenly host. Some angels have six wings, some four, some two (indicative of their station/office). Some are Cherubim some are Seraphim. Each leading angel has a principality over which he rules and is responsible to YHWH for.

11. All these (Thrones, Dominions, Principalities and Powers were created by Yahshua the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. And they were created for Him. That is to say to bring Him honor. Can you imagine what it must be like to bring YHWH honor? We can do that even now. That is by obeying Him in all things by faith in Him; that is to say by faith in His unmerited favor and unlimited power. In this way He is honored before the host of darkness. Remember the story of Job?

12. He; Yahshua, is before all things and holds all these together by His power as manifested through the laws/ordinances that He created to serve Him. (Ps.119:91)
13. He; Yahshua, is the head of the body. That is to say, that Yahshua is the command center of His entire body of believers whom He has redeemed. As such we are to move at His command. Just as we command our fingers to type; we should allow Yahshua's commands to type His words of Love and truth upon the screen of our mind; that we may receive His mind. (Phil.2:5) (Heb.10:16)

14. Yahshua is the beginning of all things (Jhn.1:1-3; Gen.1:1)
15. Because Yahshua is the genesis/Creator of all things and because Yahshua is the first born from the dead (of which Issac was a type[Heb.11:17] He is to have preeminence in all things.


Shalom and Ahava In Yahshua.
