With the picture above we should address who Almighty God is.
Like he says, I don't think you can understand this scene if you believe Jesus is Almighty God.
I don't know what this speaker believes about Jesus but the statement is still true (in one sense of the word).
I do believe Jesus is divine because he was born from God but that don't give him the same authority as his Father.
This statement can be tricky because sometimes when you say God, it could have different meanings.
- Someone with Great Authority. And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
- Someone that is Divine. In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word was with God (Divine in Nature), and the Word was God (Divine in Nature).
- Someone with Ultimate Authority. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
So by saying Jesus is not God, I mean God Almighty and that his Father is the True God.
Jesus is divine by nature but receives this authority from his Father.
So in that sense you can say he is like God.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
(Philippians 2:11)
These words from the video are his words not mine.
These are not the words of someone claiming to be God.
This is someone who is exalting God, who loves his Father, loves us, and came to save us all.
Flash forward to the scenes shown below , the work in the sanctuary has almost ended, the investigative judgment is almost over.
And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. (Hebrews 10:11-13)
The enemies have been made his footstool, the kingdoms of Satan have lost their dominion.
The court is about to be adjourned. It is about time to collect the harvest.
Now at the end of the judgment, after all the saints names have been read, Jesus goes before his Father while all the heavenly host is still gathered.
Dan 7:13 "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him."
Dan 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom"
The coming of Christ here described is not his second coming to the earth. He comes to the Ancient of days in Heaven to receive dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, which will be given him at the close of his work as a mediator. (Ellen White - GC88 479)
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (Luke 1:31-33)
A certain nobleman (Jesus) went into a far country (Heaven) to receive for himself a kingdom (New Jerusalem), and to return (Earth). (Luke 19:12)
Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. (Psalms 48:2)
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. (Psalms 2:6)
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. (Psalms 149:2)
The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God. (Jeremiah 51:10)
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. (Zechariah 9:9)
