The Nature Of ChristSample

The One Who Was Divine.

Reading this Old Testament text, you might have found a connection between the verse and the prophecy of Jesus Christ as a savior. This verse is one of the many verses in the Old Testament that proclaims the coming of a savior. However, it also brings us more information, proclaiming that the anticipated savior will be one ‘’whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.’’ 

The English translation in some Bible versions is ‘’ancient days.’’ The original Hebrew word here is ‘owlam’ meaning eternity. Our savior is one who came from eternity! This is confirmed in the New Testament. John states that the Word (Jesus) was with God in the beginning and that all things were made through Him. If ALL things were created through Him it must mean that He was there before creation. These texts, among many others, show us Jesus was already with God in the beginning and existed before time.

Scripture tells us that our Savior was here before creation, and not only that. The Word was God! Our Savior was more than a human being. He was God Himself!
