The Crucified Messiah

Jesus is the Greater Tabernacle in which the presence and glory of God dwell and manifest for all men to behold – John 1:14. The  Gospel of John  presents Jesus as the ‘ Logos ’ (λογος), the “ Word made flesh ,” where the glory of God is manifested before all men. The Son of God is the Greater and True Tabernacle in which God’s presence dwells, not the portable tent carried by Israel in the Wilderness or the later Jerusalem Temple “ made with hands .”

The previously hidden mysteries of God are revealed in Jesus, especially in his Death and Resurrection, the turning point of History . The Bible speaks of the “ mysteries ” of God, His ways that are hidden from human wisdom and defy expectations. As Jesus declared, not everyone can understand the “ mysteries of the Kingdom .” It is God who reveals the deep and obscure things to whomever He pleases, and in His Son, He has done so for all men to see.

The reign of Jesus on the Divine Throne is based on his sacrificial death and resurrection, the unshakable basis of his universal authority . The Death, Resurrection, and the Exaltation of Jesus are all linked in the Book of Revelation . Christ reigns supreme over the Earth because of his obedient death and subsequent resurrection, and he therefore is authorized to reveal and put the contents of the “ Sealed Scroll ” into action. He does not tyrannize his subjects; instead, he is “ the Shepherd of the nations ” who redeems men and women from every nation.

Jesús es el Hijo de David y heredero del Trono Mesiánico, el Hijo amado de Dios y el Siervo Sufriente de Yahvé . El Evangelio de Mateo  declara que Jesús es el prometido “ Hijo de David .” Este mismo Jesús demostró lo que significa ser el Rey de Israel, especialmente a través de su muerte sacrificial. Tradicional y bíblicamente, el rey ideal esperado estaba vinculado a la Casa de David. Con la llegada del Nazareno, ese entendimiento se alteró para siempre.

Debido a que sacrificó su vida por los demás, Dios resucitó y exaltó a Jesús y lo instaló como Señor Absoluto sobre todas las cosas . Jesús es el único que revela “ los misterios de Dios ”, solo él está calificado para revelar al “ Dios invisible ”. Solo en Cristo se cumplen todas las promesas de Dios. Él abre la Biblia Hebrea y revela “ los  tiempos y estaciones .” El Mesías Crucificado es el Soberano Absoluto sobre todas las cosas, y él reina desde el Trono Divino como “ Señor ” - (Apocalipsis 5: 9-14).
