The Arm Of The LORD Is Not A Different Person Beside Himself & Neither Is The "Word" Of John 1:1
Jesus Christ is the arm of the Father (Yahweh) revealed, not another person beside Him in the beginning!
The Word (Logos) of John 1 is not a different person beside the Father in the beginning before the worlds were created. The Word (Logos) is referring to the thoughts and intents of God's heart (the divine expression/foreordained plan). God's plan and everything in His heart was with Him in the beginning but not as a different person beside Him. Eternal life was with Him, but not as a different person beside Him as we read in 1 John 1:1-2. In this video we will learn about Yahweh's arm (power) and how this sheds more light on the Logos of John 1.
Wisdom, love, life, glory, and power are all written as being with God in that they belong to Him and pertain to Him. These are all contained in the Logos as His divine expression (thoughts and intents of His heart). But God is wisdom, love, life, glory, and power. To better understand this, we can see how the words we speak are a part of us (they are with us) in that they dwell in our heart. But they also reveal who we are (Matthew 12:34; Proverbs 23:7). Jesus Christ is the Logos made flesh; everything in God's heart expressed (His love, power, glory, life, wisdom, etc...)
Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, was foreordained before the foundation of the world. He was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. Yahweh God made the worlds through His foreordained plan by speaking forth His word (the thoughts and intents of His heart). This is how He created all things in and through the Son (the plan of the incarnation), not through another person in the beginning. Jesus was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world in His heart/plan. God put that foreordained plan into action (the Logos was made flesh) in the fullness of time. God (the Logos) was manifest in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16) on a particular day. Eternal life that was with the Father was manifested (God's heart/plan - Logos expressed). The Son of God wasn't made flesh! The Word that was Yahweh God was made flesh and dwelt among us as the only begotten Son of God, the man Christ Jesus.
By turning our attention to the Old Testament we can look at some passages in Isaiah about the arm of the LORD (Yahweh) that reveal some very powerful truths to help shed even more light on the Logos of John 1, helping us to see Jesus Christ as the singular Person of God incarnate as our Saviour. By comparing Old Testament Scriptures such as Isaiah 40:3-5, 10-11; 42:8-9; 59:16; 52:10; 53:1-2; 63:5 along with Jeremiah 10:12; 27:5; & 32:17 with New Testament Scriptures such as Luke 3:4-6; John 12:37-38; and Romans 1:16; 10:16, we can receive powerful Revelation regarding the identity of Jesus Christ being Yahweh (the Father) incarnate, not an eternal Son incarnate. Jesus Christ is the arm (power) of Yahweh (the Father), His power to save. He is not a different eternal person from the Father. Jesus Christ is the arm of Yahweh revealed, the Father's very arm; His power to save manifested through His incarnation in the flesh. 1 Corinthians 1:24 tells us that Jesus Christ is the wisdom of Yahweh and the power of Yahweh (manifest in the flesh). The Word (Logos) that was God was made flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus Christ is the divine expression of wisdom, power, and love revealed. All of this agrees together with John 1 in light of the incarnation.
