1
00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:09,400
In fact, it's [Isaiah] 44:6! I wrote it wrong 
here [on the board], let me correct it... 
It should be [Isaiah] 44:6, okay?!

2
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:17,700
It says: “Thus says the LORD the King of 
Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts:

3
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:30,100
I am the first, and I am the last; [which 
is Jesus, whom John saw; and the verse continues 
like this:] and besides me there is no God”.

4
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:35,800
Jesus is "the first and the last," and he 
says, "(...) besides me there is no God" 
(Isaiah 44:6).

5
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:39,500
That's why he says: “I and my Father are 
one” (John 10:30), okay?!

6
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:47,000
He did not say that he and the Father are 
the same person, he said that he and the 
Father are one God, They have this unity 
in the Spirit.

7
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:53,400
That is why the Holy Spirit is called the 
"Holy Spirit of God" and "Spirit of Christ" 
that was in the prophets.

8
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:59,400
Later on we will work and explain this carefully.

9
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:17,500
In Isaiah 48:12-17 it says: "Listen to me, 
O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I 
am the first, I also am the last.

10
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:25,900
My hand also has laid the foundation of the 
earth, and my right hand has spanned the 
heavens: when I call to them, they stand 
up together.

11
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,800
All you, assemble yourselves, and hear; which 
among them has declared these things?

12
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,300
The LORD has loved him: he will do his pleasure 
on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.

13
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:44,300
I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called 
him: I have brought him, and he shall make 
his way prosperous.

14
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:54,800
Come you near to me, hear you this; I have 
not spoken in secret from the beginning; 
from the time that it was, there am I: and 
now…

15
00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:59,800
[note who is saying this: it’s the “first 
and the last” who are saying this]

16
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:16,000
… and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, has 
sent me. [have you notice who said that? 
Jesus is the “first and the last”]

17
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:28,000
Thus said the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy 
One of Israel; I am the LORD your God which 
teaches you to profit, which leads you by 
the way that you should go”.

18
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:34,800
This first topic is important for us to talk 
about a few things: First thing is to highlight 
that Jesus is “the beginning and the end”

19
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:38,700
and to reinforce the divinity of Christ.

20
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,400
This is a beautiful opportunity to talk about 
these topics.

21
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:53,300
In John, chapter 8, verse 24, says that they 
asked Jesus who he was.

22
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,400
We will now read John, chapter 8, verse 24.

23
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:05,200
Let's read verses 24 and 25, which says:

24
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:16,000
“I said therefore unto you, that you shall 
die in your sins: for if you believe not 
that I am he, you shall die in your sins.

25
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:26,500
Then said they unto him, Who are you? And 
Jesus said unto them, Even the same that 
I said unto you from the beginning”.

26
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,500
"Reshit", that's what Jesus was talking about.

27
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:38,100
We will now proceed to reading the First 
Epistle of John, chapter 1, verse 1, which 
says:

28
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:46,500
“That which was from the beginning, which 
we have heard, which we have seen with our 
eyes,

29
00:03:46,600 --> 00:04:02,000
which we have looked upon, and our hands 
have handled, of the Word [“logos”] of life"

30
00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:10,400
Thus, "That which was from the beginning," 
we see in John 1: 1 that "in the beginning 
was the Word".

31
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:20,100
"(...)which we have heard, which we have 
seen with our eyes, which we have looked 
upon, and our hands have handled (...)", 
this is what we preach;

32
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:29,800
we testify that the "Word was made flesh, 
and dwelt among us (...)" (John 1:14).

33
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:37,900
We will now move on to the First Epistle 
of John, chapter 2, verses 13 and 14, in 
which he says:

34
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:54,800
“I write unto you, fathers, because you have 
known him who is from the beginning [referring 
to Jesus].

35
00:04:54,900 --> 00:05:05,000
I write unto you, young men, because you 
have overcome the wicked one. I write unto 
you, little children, because you have known 
the Father.

36
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:11,200
I have written unto you, fathers, because 
you have known him who is from the beginning. 
I have written unto you, young men, because 
you are strong, and the word of God abides 
in you, and you have overcome the wicked 
one”.

37
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:19,100
I have written unto you, young men, because 
you are strong, and the word of God abides 
in you, and you have overcome the wicked 
one”.

38
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:28,900
The Word [“logos”] is in you, that's why 
in John… Look how beautiful it is! Let's 
check this before we finish this video...

39
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:40,600
Jesus speaks in John 14, in verse 21:

40
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:52,000
“He that has my commandments, and keeps them, 
he it is that loves me: and he that loves 
me shall be loved of my Father, and I will 
love him, and will manifest myself to him".

41
00:05:52,100 --> 00:06:01,400
And in verse 23 he says: “Jesus answered 
and said unto him, If a man loves me, he 
will keep my words [it is not enough to just 
say that we love him, we must love him by 
keeping his Word],

42
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:12,900
and my Father will love him, [that is, Jesus 
is saying that the Father will love those 
who love him] and we will come unto him, 
and make our abode with him”.

43
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:19,800
How do the Father and the Son dwell in us? 
Through the Holy Spirit! Amen?!

44
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:25,300
So you will see a beautiful phrase in Genesis, 
chapter 1, which says:

45
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:36,500
“In the beginning God created the heaven 
and the earth. And the earth was without 
form, and void; and darkness was upon the 
face of the deep.

46
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:44,200
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face 
of the waters. And God said, Let there be 
light: and there was light”.

47
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:47,600
May God bless you, and let's continue on 
our the next video.

48
00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:51,500
I wish that you continue to study with us, 
following the study with your Bible!

49
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,800
May God always bless you and pray for us! 
Amen?!
