Bible Note: I guess that I don't see the basis for this assumption, insofar as the Father and the Son are two separate entities, as per the time when Jesus was baptized with the Holy Spirit and water. Here we see two different entities represented. The entity speaking from the sky was not Christ himself in the New Testament and therefore was not likely Christ in the Old Testament. - Matthew 3 16 After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, 17 and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased." (NAS95) - Here also in the book of Daniel, the Son is differentiated from the Father. Please particularly note verse 13. Daniel 7 9 "I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames, Its wheels were a burning fire. 10 "A river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The court sat, And the books were opened. 13 "I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. 14 "And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed. (NAS95) - It is my personal impression that the Father was worshipped through Michael the archangel (or angels) just as we worship the Father through Jesus Christ. We have a new mediator in Christ. - Reighnskye |
