The Family/Kingdom of God
by
Robert Schmid
| GOD |
Yahweh Elohim, GOD Almighty, Creator of Heavens and Earth, GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The only Being without father, without mother, without decent, and having neither beginning of days, nor end of life. |
| |
|
| THE FATHER/HUSBAND |
GOD, the father of all by an act of creation. GOD, the FATHER of all begotten and born of Him by an act of procreation. GOD BECAME a (true) FATHER when He fathered His firstborn Son - JESUS - 2000 years ago. |
| |
|
| THE WIFE |
GOD raised up for Himself a WIFE when He rescued the slave nation ISRAEL and proposed to her at Mt. Sinai. ISRAEL accepted the marriage covenant. But because of adultery by His wife, GOD had to separate Himself from her. Nevertheless, He is always looking forward to a time of repentance and reconciliation when He will take back His wife. |
| |
|
| THE MOTHER |
GOD chose the virgin MARY, an ISRAELITE woman, representing all of ISRAEL, who displayed the attitude of a faithful wife when she answered God with: "Behold, I am the handmaid of the LORD; let it be to me according to your word." And MARY, the (surrogate) WIFE of GOD, gave birth to their firstborn son, whom they named JESUS. |
| |
|
| THE FIRST BORN SON |
JESUS was born in the prophesied "fullness of time," 2000 years ago, of His mother MARY who was impregnated by GOD, with the WORD of GOD that BECAME the firstborn SON of GOD - JESUS the CHRIST |
| |
|
| THE BRIDE OF THE SON |
GOD the FATHER continues to beget additional children into His family consisting of all those called and converted and having received the gift of the Holy Spirit. They are the FIRST-FRUITS who will become the BRIDE of CHRIST |
