(Isa 61:1-4) "The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; {2} To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; {3} To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THE PLANTING OF THE LORD. {4} And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations."

(Jer 23:5-9) "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a RIGHTEOUS BRANCH, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. {6} In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. {7} Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; {8} But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land. {9} Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness."

(Zec 3:7-10) "Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by. {8} Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. {9} For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. {10} In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree."

(Zec 6:12-15) "And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: {13} Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. {14} And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD. {15} And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God."

Jesus came in the flesh as the Right Hand (The BRANCH) of the Father, extended to mankind to teach the way of His salvation. After Christ rose from the dead and ascended back to His Father from where He originated, He now sits on His throme as the Father's Right Hand.

The Holy Spirit of the Father was sent down as the Right Hand of the Father to lead and guide us into all His truths. The Holy Spirit extended to us was now our guide to lead us into all the truth recorded in His Holy Words. If one follows the leading of the WORDS of the Holy Spirit found in His Word, it will lead him back to having His Holiness once again living within, ( His righteousness), and thus receiving His Salvation through His Righteousness dwelling within us as our only hope of Salvation.

In the Old Covenant Elohim (God almighty) was identified as the Hand of God 16 times. He extended His Hand to Israel, to lead them out of Egypt and show them the WAYS of the Father's Righteous Life. Both scriptures that follow refer to the office (work) of Jesus Christ.

(2 Chr 30:12) "Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD." Who is the Prince of Peace and King of Kings?

(Job 27:11) "I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal." Who is the great teacher of Gods Holy word?

It was the Hand of God that gave Israel His Holy Commandments. It was the finger of God that wrote them on two tablets. The Hand of God came to us in the New Covenant as Jesus Christ. He taught that the Only WAY to Holiness was to keep the Holy Commandment that lead to everlasting LIFE.(Mark 12:29) "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:"

In the New Covenant Jesus is identified as being the Hand and the RIGHT HAND of God that was sent into the world to show us how to live the Righteous WAYS of life found in the Father. The God of Israel only has one Right Hand as there is only ONE God in Israel. (Meaning of Israel, "one who prevails with God") (Rom 9:6) "Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:"

When one sees how the Father lives through His Right Hand extended to us, you see the LIFE the Father requires His whole BODY of Christ to live. Remember the Father is a Holy Spirit. He is the Life giving Spirit that Elohim (Jesus Christ) breathed into Adam. You cannot see the spirit of life except it dwells in a body. In order to show mankind the Father's Holy life style, His life had to be manifested in a body. It was manifested in the body of His heavenly Son, Christ Jesus. His heavenly Son was the only Son He could use for this purpose. Thus His heavenly Son had to be born on earth. He had to be conceived in a virgin with the Holy Spirit being His Father. Thus the Son of God from heaven was given Life on earth through a virgin birth.

(Isa 7:14-15) "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (Elohim is with us). {15} Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good."

Who was this Elohim who was with us, who had created the world? None other then our Lord, Jesus Christ, the ARM - HAND of the LIVING God Himself.

(Heb 1:10) "And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:"

In the old Covenant the word "LORD" is used over 6,500 times for the name Yeshua (YHVH) or (HWHY). In the new covenant, the Lord Jesus Christ is used for the name of the same person. Yeshua is Hebrew. In English, we use Jesus. The English word "God" is from the Hebrew word "El". El is the abbreviated form of ELOHIM. It is used over 2600 times and essentially means "mighty one".

(John 14:9-10) "Jesus saith unto him, Have I (the right hand of God) been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me (my Right Hand) hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? {10} Believest thou not that I AM in the Father (the Right hand attached to the Father) , and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself (but as the Father's right handI speak: but the Father that dwelleth in me (His Hand), he doeth the works." (He was the Father's right hand, an extensiom of the Father. Thus the Father was dwelling in His right Hand.)

(Col 2:9-10) "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. {10} And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power (Elohim, all Mighty God):"

See Isaiah 9:67 Elohim is a Hebrew word meaning Mighty God. (Rev 4:8) "they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come." We know who they are referring to, - Jesus Christ.

(Mat 28:17-18) "And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. {18} And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." "Thou shall have no other God before me".

Who is this Almighty God who has all power in heaven and earth? None other that His heavenly Son, the Right Hand of God the Father, born of a virgin. Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, - and his name shall be called - The mighty God, The everlasting Father." Why? Thats Who He is.

In the New Covenant the RIGHT HAND OF GOD is identified as Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He was the Right Hand of God that was sent down to earth to save all His Earthly Sons who would repent of transgressing His Holy Commandments and turn their lives around and start living within the borders of His righteous LIFE.

Jesus was the second ADAM (SON OF GOD) sent down from the Father by the way of a virgin birth. He was ,and still is, the Right Hand of the Almighty God. If He is the RIGHT HAND of GOD, then He is the Almighty God manifested in the flesh of mankind. The following scripture makes it clear who He truly is.

(Isa 9:6-7) "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God (Elohim), The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. {7} Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."

The Prince of PEACE, (Right Hand of the Father), reached down from heaven as the Second Adam, to first show us, His earthly Sons, His WAY back to the TRUE VINE of which we are an earthly branch, so we could be grafted back into the FATHER'S Kingdom from heaven. Adam as the earthly Branch was cut off because of his transgression of His Heavenly Father's Holy Commandment.

(Gen 3:3-4) "But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. {4} And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:"

Most of the so called Christian world in the past, and still today, believe the serpent's lie that they "shall not surely die" if they continue to transgress God's Holy Covenant. A Holy Covenant, that if kept, leads one back to have HIS everlasting LIFE again living inside him.

(John 12:50) "And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak."

The following scriptures make the WAY of returning very clear.

(John 15:1-17) "I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. {2} Every branch in me that beareth not fruit (of righteousness) he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit (of righteousness), he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit (of righteousness). {3} Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. {4} Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. {5} I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit (of righteousness): for without me ye can do nothing. {6} If a man abide not in me (but abides in unrighteousness), he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. {7} If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. {8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit (of righteousness); so shall ye be my disciples. {9} As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. {10} If ye keep my commandments (my righteousness), ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments (righteousness), and abide in his love. {11} These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. {12} This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. {13} Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. {14} Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. {15} Henceforth I call you not servants (slaves); for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. {16} Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit ,(of righteousness), and that your fruit, (righteousness), should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. {17} These things I command you, that ye love one another."

(Rom 11:16-31) "For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. {17} And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; {18} Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. {19} Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. {20} Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith (the faith of the Son of God). Be not highminded, but fear: {21} For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. {22} Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. {23} And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. {24} For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? {25} For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. {26} And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: {27} For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. {28} As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. {29} For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. {30} For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: {31} Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy."
