Bible Question: What time span during which mary was visited by the angel to the time that Jesus recieving the Holy Spirit? mostly interrested in the BC dates. |
Bible Answer: Hi, regguh! Michael offered an excellent post, I just want to add: Jesus is God, there was never a time that He did not have the Holy Spirit... It is He who sends the Holy Spirit, from the Father, to the world... yet, as the Lamb of God, the Word incarnate, had to be anointed in John's baptism and the Holy Spirit had to come to Him in order to fulfill Scripture (John speaks about Jesus and reveals that God gave him a sign by which he would know that Jesus is the Anointed One)... Notice, in Luke 1:43-44, that Elizabeth and John the Baptist both recognize Jesus Christ in Mary's womb as their Lord and Savior... it is them, and us, who must be filled/anointed by the Holy Spirit in order to know the mysteries of God! Jesus has no need to be anointed/filled with the Holy Spirit; but, because we are limited in our understanding, He came to fulfill all of the prophecies of the Law (Scripture), and part of His titles is the Anointed One or Jeshua or Christos... remember that in the Old Testament God would have His prophets and kings anointed before they could exercise their authority in Israel... Jesus as the King and High Priest of Israel (and subsequently the Gentiles) was prophecised as the root of Jesse, and as both King and High Priest He had to be ordained or anointed! God Bless! Angel |
