This does not negate his being in existence with the only true God before he was made flesh, a little lower than the angels. The glory that he had before he became flesh, however, was not the glory that he had while he was in the days of his flesh. Likewise, now that Jesus has sacrificed his body of flesh and blood, he is no longer with the glory of man, a glory that is lower than the angels.<br />For studies related to Christ's prehuman existence:<br /><a href="https://jesusnotyhwh.blogspot.com/p/jesus-pre-human-existence.html" rel="nofollow">https://jesusnotyhwh.blogspot.com/p/jesus-pre-human-existence.html</a>Ronald Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01428695352830083280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081748873678351197.post-36383197908804249912017-03-14T07:14:37.111-07:002017-03-14T07:14:37.111-07:00Even if it would mean he is from the days of Old, ...Even if it would mean he is from the days of Old, that is some propreties no other man can claim here on earth. And how old exactly? Can anyone tell? The Jewish expected Messiah is just a mere mortal man, just like Moses.

But it does."<br /><br />My response:<br /><br />As I pointed out, Micah 5:2 is the only place that I found that any translation renders the Hebrew phrase as being from eternity. The ONLY reason for claiming that it means "eternity" in Micah 5:2 is because of the belief that Jesus is uncreated. Thus, to offer Micah 5:2 as proof that Jesus is from eternity is actually circular reasoning.<br /><br />But let us plug in eternity into some of the places where the Hebrew phrase occurs and see what results.<br /><br /><br />Micah uses the same phrase again in:<br /><br />Micah 7:14 World English Bible (WEB)<br /><br />Shepherd your people with your staff,<br /> the flock of your heritage,<br /> who dwell by themselves in a forest,<br /> in the middle of fertile pasture land, let them feed;<br /> in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of eternity.<br /><br />Was Micah telling Jehovah that Jehovah had been shepherding the children of Israel in or from eternity?<br /><br />Deuteronomy 32:7 World English Bible (WEB)<br /><br />Remember the days of eternity.<br /> Consider the years of many generations.<br />Ask your father, and he will show you;<br /> your elders, and they will tell you.<br /><br />Obviously, if one puts the phrase "eternity" in here, it would not fit. Likewise in Isaiah 63:9,11; Amos 9:11 and Malachi 3:4.<br /><br />It is actually those who claim that Jesus is uncreated who allow their theology to determine that the Hebrew phrase in Micah 5:2 is uniquely referring to an eternity past.<br /><br />Ronald Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01428695352830083280noreply@blogger.com
