Mary. He was not ready to be manifested as the Son of God at twelve
yrs. old. But when he was about 30 yrs. old, he was baptized by John
in the river Jordan. As he came up out of the water he (John) saw the
heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him (Jesus).
And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son
IN whom I am well pleased. (to dwell in) or in whom I am pleased to dwell
in. After Jesus ministry of three and one half yrs and Jesus was sacrificed
for the sins of the world, was buried and was resurrected, He ascended
back up to where he had come from. He had finished the work his Father
(God, Spirit) had told Him to do and say. He went back to the Father and
submitted himself. The Father (Spirit, God) could not do as the Spirit what
needed to be done as the Son. Neither could the Son do what the Father
could do as the Spirit. The work was accomplished by the Father in the Son.
Jesus told his disciples that without him, they could do nothing. The work
of redemption was accomplished by the Father IN THE Son.
Timmy, The only (person, image) I can see as God would be when He (Spirit)
was manifested IN and through the SON, Christ Jesus.
1 Tim.3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest
in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles,
believed on in the world, received up into glory".
The Jews lost contact with their Jehovah God when He was manifested in
the Son. All through the OT He sent prophets, rising up early and sending
them but they kept persecuting and killing them. Then finally He came IN the
Son and they didn't recognize who He was, so they killed him too. IF they had
known who He was, they would not have crucified the King of Glory.
