What was the Word and it's Purpose BEFORE it became Flesh known as Jesus? Did God temporarily lose His voice?
First allow me to establish that God and the Word, while being one, are also 2 distinct entities I will point out below.

Matthew 19:17

And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Mark 13:32

But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

So above we can very plainly see that Jesus expresses the absolute goodness of not Himself, but of His Father God. Not only that, but we also discover that Jesus lacks a certain knowledge within Himself that ONLY His Father in Heaven knows, this is clearly representing 2 seperate retained knowledges of The Father and of the Son (even if only for the duration of His Son's earthly presence)


With those things said, I would like hear from a Spirit-driven and filled Christian regarding the nature and purpose of the Word BEFORE it became Flesh, the man we know as Jesus Christ our Savior.

John 1:14

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

John 1:1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.



Over and over we find in Genesis that God speaks the various elements of His creation into existence by His voice

Genesis 1:3
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Could it actually be, that this voice that God utters, IS the Word that would latter become Flesh. Is this voice that spoke creation through Words, the pre-flesh manifestation of Jesus?

And if this creation generating voice or Word, that was with God, would later become Flesh as Jesus....

Correct me by Scripture if I'm wrong but..

Does that mean that God gave up his actual voice for a temporary moment in time?
in order to give birth to a flesh Mediator that would "speak" to us in person

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;


It makes perfect sense doesnt it? that the Perfect creation "life" generating voice, the Word, would become the flesh vessel to defeat "death", the wages of sin!!


God has done something truely incredible hasnt He? Please, I would love to hear Spirit driven interpretations of this, its all so ... overwhelming...

Only for time being needed the Words´ to come true, be fulfilled in the world:


... my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11

28I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father. John 16

... Jesus said, Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' John 20:17

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.


And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.


Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,


He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.


He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched--this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.

JESUS IS THE WORD

In the past God spoke to our ancestors at many different times and in many different ways through the prophets.

2In these last days he has spoken to us through his Son.


God made his Son responsible for everything.
His Son is the one through whom God made the universe.


3His Son is the reflection of God's glory and the exact likeness of God's being.
He holds everything together through his powerful words.
After he had cleansed people from their sins, he received the highest position, the one next to the Father in heaven.

4The Son has become greater than the angels since he has been given a name that is superior to theirs.

8But God said about his Son, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter in your kingdom is a scepter for justice.

9You have loved what is right and hated what is wrong. That is why God, your God, anointed you, rather than your companions, with the oil of joy."

10God also said, "Lord, in the beginning you laid the foundation of the earth. With your own hands you made the heavens.

Read you own posting again:

"... ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."


"in his love" does´t mean "in Him". Oneness with someone does not mean being instead of Him.

Context is all - the wording can mislead. Here is the OT context of the relationship between Jesus and God Lord who is Jesus´ Father:


10“You are my witnesses (Israel),” declares the Lord,“and my servant (Jesus) whom I have chosen (the Messiah),
so that you may know and believe me and understand that

I AM HE (Jesus Christ).

Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me. 11I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior (Lord God of the Old Testament).
12I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “that I am God.13Yes, and from ancient days I am he (Jesus Christ).
No one can deliver out of my hand. Isaiah 43

Re: What was the Word and it's Purpose BEFORE it became Flesh known as Jesus? Did God temporarily lose His voice?
In most Hebrew manuscripts such as the Masoretic, Psalm 22:16 (verse 17 in the Hebrew verse numbering) reads &#1499;&#1488;&#1512;&#1497; &#1497;&#1491;&#1497; &#1493;&#1512;&#1490;&#1500;&#1497; ("like a lion my hands and my feet").[54][unreliable source?]

Many Christians translate this as "they have pierced my hands and my feet", based on the Septuagint and Syriac manuscripts. However, the phrase, if translated as "like a lion my hands and my feet" bears no coherent meaning. There remains some controversy about this translation. It asserted that the Dead Sea Scrolls lend considerable weight to the translation as "They have pierced my hands and my feet", [55] although this view is not uncontested.[56]
Psalm 69

"They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink"
