Immanuel God With Us .... For Us

Christ came in the flesh for our salvation. He came as Immanuel, which is to say "God with us" in the flesh, fulfilling prophecy written of in the Old Testament. Prophecy of His birth to a virgin, place of His birth, Him as the prophet, His rejection, His betrayal for 30 pieces of silver, His suffering and taunting on the Cross, and Satan's bruising His heel, etc. His sacrifice took away the blood ordinances covering our sins, effectively allowing the Death Angel to pass over us, in the spiritual body, if we but believe on Him having done so. John 3:16

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.   ~Fulfilled in Luke 1:26-31; Matthew 1:18-25

Jesus was born in Bethlehem as stated in Micah 5:2; Luke 2:4-7. God promised that He would put enmity between Satan's seed (Cain...Kenites) and His seed (Adam's seed line to Christ) in Genesis 3:15. Satan's seed line would bruise Christ's heel which was done when He was nailed to the Cross, Matthew 27:35. God will bruise Satan's head at the end of the millennium as he is sentenced to spiritual death at that time of Judgement. I John 3:8; Romans 16:20; Revelation 19:20

Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

Hebrews 2:14-18 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succour them that are tempted.

God being in another dimension cannot be seen by man in the flesh. He came in the flesh, born of woman, to partake of the same as He requires of His children in this 2nd earth age. He did not come in a supernatural body, and was not shielded, His choosing, by any of the pain we endure in these flesh bodies. His sacrifice on the Cross was very real in a very real flesh body. He took on that pain willingly out of His everlasting love for His children.

Hebrews 2:9-13 But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour, that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became Him, for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of One: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, "I will declare Thy Name unto My brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto Thee." And again, "I will put my trust in Him." And again, "Behold, I and the children which God hath given Me."

Colossians 2:14-15 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Psalms 22
