Angels, Jesus Christ, & God the Father

The Jehovah Witnesses believe that Jesus is “Jehovah” to us on earth – from our perspective, but in the reality of heaven, Jesus is not Jehovah, but is Michael the Archangel. This would also explain why they believe Jesus is Creator, yet in heaven he is just an angel. This is disingenuous and is a type of game that the media has been playing against Trump. They show a picture of the crowds at noon and they say (as if the event took place at that time) “and look how small the crowd is” at Trumps inauguration. Yes the event began before noon, but the main event – his swearing in – only happened 4 hours later and it was raining the whole time. So the crowds gathered much later! One can twist verses and meanings if you take them out of context, isolating them, then redefining words and names, or then completely remove words and/or add new words (as in the case of John 1:1). One cannot diminish who Jesus Christ-for His Name is above all names- and He is God.  To characterize Him as an angel is heresy and  fulfills what Jesus said about the many “anti-Christs that will come in my name”.

These verses will help define who Jesus Christ is and what an angel is and that both are in no way equal! By the way there are many more verses and so I recommend that you buy a book on angels by Dr. Jeffress or Billy Graham.
1) Matthew 24:36 Here it is obvious that Jesus does not know but the Father does. Jesus is separate from the Father but both are GOD – I will include a paper that I edited on the Triune nature of God versus heresy:Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

2) Here Ezekiel  is speaking of Satan who is an angel: “Thou wast created” . So angels were created and so Jesus Christ cannot be an Angel because “he was from the beginning” (begotten which does not mean born) and was not created-
Eze_28:15, Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

3) Here again we have an inference “all things ..that are in heaven” were created by him, Col 1:16.  “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.”

4) Heb 1:3-6,  A clear difference is being made here between Jesus Christ and the angels: Heb 1:3, Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. . unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

5) Rev 21:3-6, This is in heaven God speaks and it is clear that we have both the Father and the Son Jesus Christ in One as we have “the Alpha & Omega” which is Jesus and the “great voice” which is characteristic of the Father “and I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.”

6) Heb 2:16  For verily he (Jesus) took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.  Why would the Word say that Jesus did not take on the nature of an angel? Because he was never an angel – it is clear!

7) Go to Gen 1:26, “And God said, Let us make man in our image“.. here God is referred to as “us”- God in 3 persons or the “Triune God”:  Jesus in his pre-incarnate form walked with Adam and Eve, the Father spoke creating the Universe, and the Spirit hovered over the waters.
