Who Hath Ascended Up into Heaven, or Descended?
Who Has Seen God?
(Prov 30:4 KJV) "Who hath
ascended up into heaven, or
descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?"
There are some questions in Proverbs 30:4,
and one of them ask, "Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended?" And then another ask,
"what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?" If you continue to read,
you'll find that the son mentioned could be referring to the only begotten of the Father
(John 1:14). And then could it also be Solomon
(2 Sam 7:12-17), Israel
(Jer 31:9;
Exo 4:22-23) and/or the separated
(2 Cor 6:17-18)? Is this just another
riddle to be solved?
Well, Children of faith shouldn't need to question (Rom 10:6-10) the first question and be in
doubt of who it could be. I believe the answer is found in John 3:13. The other four questions in
that verse could apply to Jesus Christ, who is the Word (John 1:1-5, 14), to the LORD who descended
on Mount Sinai in Exodus 19:18 and to Jesus' Father as well if we consider God
(John 14:9-11) was in Him reconciling the world
unto Himself (2 Cor 5:18-19). My answer to the first question is, no man might have ascended [bodily]
up to heaven and descended, but only Jesus (Joshua, Yehowshuwa') the Christ (Anointed,
Messiah, Mashiyach).
Prophetically Speaking
Jesus:
(John 3:11-13 KJV)
"Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have
seen; and ye receive not our witness.
{12}
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
{13}
And no man hath
ascended up to heaven, but he that
came
down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven."
(John 6:62-63 KJV)
"What and if ye shall see the Son of man
ascend up where he was before?
{63}
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."
