(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 that I believe could be in reference to the LORD God, who created the heavens and the earth (Gen 2:4), who descended on Mount Sinai (Exo 19:18); to the Word of God who made all things (John 1:1-5), who was made flesh, who is the only begotten son (John 1:14), who is in the bosom of the Father (John 1:18), who ascended to heaven and descended from heaven (John 3:13); and to Jesus' Father, because Jesus is in the Father and the Father is in Him (John 14:8-11), that God is in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself (2 Cor 5:18-19). Consider that the Father, the Word (John 17:11, 19-23) and the Holy Spirit are [three in] One (1 John 5:7).

We will focus on the first question. Children of faith do not need to struggle (Rom 10:6-10) with, "Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended?" My answer is, no man has ascended [bodily] up to heaven, or descended, but only the Son of Man, who is Jesus (Joshua, Yehowshuwa': H3091) Christ (Anointed, Messiah, Mashiyach: H4899), the Son of God, who is in heaven (John 3:13).

Note: Solomon (2 Sam 7:12-17), Israel (Exo 4:22-23; Jer 31:9), and the separated (2 Cor 6:17-18) were also considered to be sons of the LORD.

Prophetically Speaking

(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."
