Letter of Apostle Paul – Colossians
An Intimate Review
Pt 2
By Lawrence DeMetrius
Contrary to popular belief, Jesus Christ is not Yahweh nor has He ever proclaimed Himself to be. [Mt 19:16, 17; Jn 8:42, 43; 10:29; 13:16, 20; 14:28] However, His CONSUBSTANTIAL NATURE is clearly revealed by the teachings of the Original Apostles, namely Apostle John the one that Jesus loved. [Jn 3:18; 14:6-11; I Cor 12:3] All things were CREATED by and for Christ in heaven and earth, both visible and invisible THRONES, DOMINIONS, PRINCIPALITIES and POWERS. [Col 1:16]
*created Gk #2936 ktizo (ktid-zo) it means to fabricate, found and originally form
*throne Gk #2362 thronos (thron-os) it the stately seat of a power and potentate
• power means great or marked ability to do or act and is strength, might and force

In credence of what Apostle Paul writes per [Col 1:16] Apostle Jude notes at [Jude vs 6, 14] that there are angelic hosts that kept not their first estate and are now reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto The Great Day of Judgement. It is evident that these Apostles were privy to the writings of Enoch, as he was the first to provide this revelation. [Eno 14-16] Christ is BEFORE all things and all things CONSIST by Him. [Col 1:16, 17]

With His Blood, Christ made PEACE with Yahweh on behalf of all things that Yahweh wanted to be RECONCILED to HIMSELF in heaven and earth. [Col 1:20; II Cor 5:18, 19]
