23. CHAPTER X

THE DIVINE FROM ETERNITY AND THE HUMAN IN TIME, UNITED AS SOUL AND BODY, ARE ONE PERSON WHO IS JEHOVAH 1. In Jesus Christ the Divine from eternity and the human in time are united as are the soul and body in a man. 2. The uniting was and is reciprocal, and is thus a full uniting. 3. Consequently, God and man, that is the Divine and the human, are One Person. 4. In the Lord's Human all the Father's Divine things are present at the same time. 5. Thus the Lord is the One only God who from eternity had, and to eternity will have, all power in the heavens and on the earths. 6. He is "the First and the Last the Beginning and the End", "who was, is, and is to come", "the Alpha and the Omega", "the Almighty". 7. He is "Father of Eternity", "Jehovah our Righteousness", "Jehovah Saviour and Redeemer", "Jehovah Zebaoth". 8. Those who approach Him as Jehovah and as the Father are united to Him, become His sons, and are spoken of as "sons of God". 9. They are receptacles of His Divine Human.
