"The God of gods"
CHAPTER ONE
acknowledges there are or will be others. Beloved, these verses are
prophetic in nature. Again, David writes…
Psalm 82:6-8
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most
High.
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
Here, God acknowledges another as God in the 8th verse. This we
know to be Jesus; for He is the one who will inherit all nations. But
even so, He also acknowledges there are others, (those who are joint
heirs with Christ). They, too, are gods. But they are not as the idols
made with man’s hands. They are the children of the only one true
God. They are the offspring of the Almighty. Jesus reflects on this
prophetic word as He addresses the Pharisees.
John 10:34-35
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are
gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the
scripture cannot be broken;
If God called those to whom He entrusted with His word, gods, then
they are gods; and the scriptures cannot and will not be broken. In
other words, that which the Father has spoken will manifest.
John 10:36
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the
world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
Here we go . . . “him whom the Father has sanctified” is the Son of
God. But the glorious thing here is Jesus is the first of many brethren.
Before we go any further; let us look at another prophetic utterance
God gave to the King of Babylon.
Daniel 4:8
But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar,
according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy
gods: and before him I told the dream
