Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 2:7-8, “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory: which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.”
The phrase, “Lord of Glory” is a Hebraism for Glorious Lord, a title applied to the Jehovah in the Old Testament, then revealed in the New.
Isaiah 33:21, “The glorious LORD (Jehovah) will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams;”
Psalms 24:8-10, “Who is the King of glory? The LORD (Jehovah) strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.”
Verse 10, “Who is this King of glory?
This is what Paul meant when he wrote, “We speak of the wisdom of God in a mystery.” Jesus was that mystery, the glorious LORD, the LORD of glory.”
Manoah, the father of Samson, asked the angel of the LORD, Judges 13:17, “What is your name?”
He answered, “Why ask you thus after my name, seeing it is secret?” An Old Testament secret, revealed in the person of Jesus Christ, the "Lord of glory."
Acts 7:2, “The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham,”
He who was crucified as to his manhood, is the Lord of Glory, Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
The LORD of Glory

Re: The LORD of Glory
Post #31Since Jesus is not "a false god" to you and being worshiped not of the same level as to the Father, are you sure your church practiced "monotheism or henotheism"?

Thank-you for your reply. Please see the article at the following link, which provides a detailed, scripturally-backed study revealing Christ's name in heaven is Michael.
https://gibraltar-messenger.net/jahtrut ... e-michael/
As you probably already know, the term "Messiah" (Hebrew) or "Christ" (from the Greek "Christos") is a TITLE, which means "The Anointed One", rather than a name.
A few excerpts below from that article:
The Great Prince Michael is Chief of the Archangels, Prince of princes, God’s Eldest/Firstborn Son and the One Whom God anointed and appointed heir to everything.
The name Micha-EL is Hebrew and means “Who is LIKE God?” (i.e. made in God’s Express Image/Likeness)
-------
The Prince is the Firstborn Son of the King, and heir to the Kingdom, so it should come as no surprise that The King Ruler of the Universe (God) appointed His Firstborn Son Michael, known here on Earth as The Messiah/Christ, to be the Great Prince.
-------
Daniel 10:21 But I will show thee that which is noted in the Scripture of Truth: and [there is] NONE that holdeth with me in these things, EXCEPT Michael your prince* (Eno. 67:1; Rev. 5:3; 5; 9 & 12:7).
*If NONE hold the explanation of the Scripture of Truth (The Word) except for Prince Michael, Prince Michael MUST be The Word/Lamb of God (Christ)
Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall MICHAEL [the Archangel] (Eno. 20:5; 36:1; 40:8; 58:1; 59:9; 57:1-2; 70:4; Rev. 12:7; Sura 2:98) stand up, THE GREAT PRINCE which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the Book [of Life] (Rev. 13:8; 17:8; 20:15; 21:27; Sura 83:20).
-------
Here is where the Great Prince Michael (Christ, The Word/Lamb of God) had Daniel “seal the Book” (the Bible, aka the Scripture of Truth) until the end of time:
Daniel 10:21 But I will show thee that which is noted in the Scripture of Truth: and [there is] NONE that holdeth with me in these things, EXCEPT MICHAEL YOUR PRINCE (Eno. 67:1; Rev. 5:3; 5; 9 & 12:7).
Daniel 12:1-4
12:1 And at that time shall Michael [the Archangel] (Eno. 20:5; 36:1; 40:8; 58:1; 59:9; 57:1-2; 70:4; Rev. 12:7; Sura 2:98) stand up, the Great Prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the Book [of Life] (Rev. 13:8; 17:8; 20:15; 21:27; Sura 83:20).
12:2 And many of them that sleep in “the dust of the earth” (Gen. 13:16; 28:14) shall awake, some to Everlasting Life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt.
12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to Righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and “SEAL” THE BOOK (Rev. 5:1-5), [EVEN] TO THE TIME OF THE END: many shall run to and fro, and [evil] knowledge (1 Tim. 5:20) shall be increased.
And here is where the Great Prince Michael (Christ, The Word/Lamb of God) loosed the seals and prevailed to open the Book (the Bible/Word, aka the Scripture of Truth) at the end of time (now), to finally explain the mystery of God, exactly as promised (John 16:25):
Revelation 5:1-5
5:1 And I saw in the right hand of Him that sat on the throne a Book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals (seven in God’s “Code” means ALL or COMPLETELY).
5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the Book, and to loose the seals thereof?
5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the Book, neither to look thereon.
5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the Book, neither to look thereon.
5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Source of David, hath prevailed to open the Book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have. For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son, Today have I become your father?" and again, "I will be to him a Father, And he will be to me a Son?" Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him." Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, And his servants a flame of fire." but of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.

It's amazing that people actually pretend they don't know what a Father and a Son are, or what the relationship is between the two, or that they choose to redefine those common-use terms so they can cling to their made-up doctrines and traditions.
The Father really is Father (the head of the family) and the Son is really the Son (created/made by the Father).
For those who may not already know this, parts of the first chapter of Hebrews is quoting Psalm 45, which was originally written in Hebrew.
Psalm 45:1-7
45:1 <To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.> My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue [is] the pen of a ready writer.
45:2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
45:3 Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
45:4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
45:5 Thine arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the King's enemies; [whereby] the people fall under thee.
45:6 Thy Throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: the sceptre of Thy Kingdom [is] a Right sceptre.
45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God (Christ's God), hath anointed thee (Christ) with the oil of gladness above thy fellows (by making Prince Michael/Christ FIRST, hence the designation as the firstBORN).
Born = brought into existence, i.e. created (made)
Hebrews 1:1-9
1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds;
1:3 Who being the brightness of His (Father's) glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
1:4 Being MADE so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
1:5 For unto which of the angels said He (God) at any time, Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten (created) thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to Me a Son?
1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten (firstborn/first-created) into the world, He saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
1:7 And of the angels He saith, Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire.
1:8 But unto the Son who saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom:
1:9 Thou (Christ) hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God (Christ's God), hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Re: The LORD of Glory
Post #39And yet the Bible does directly reveal the FACT that The Messiah/Christ is Prince Michael.
Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth of the Commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto THE MESSIAH THE PRINCE [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.
Isaiah 42:18-25
42:18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
42:19 Who [is] blind, but My servant? or deaf, as My messenger [that] I sent? who [is] as blind as [he that thinks he is] perfect, and blind as the "I AM"'s servant (Israel)?
42:20 Seeing many things, but thou takest no notice; opening the ears, but he heareth not.
42:21 The "I AM" is well pleased for His Righteousness' sake; He will magnify The Law, and make [it] honourable (Deut. 33:21).
42:22 But this [is] a people robbed and spoiled; [they are] all of them trapped in [pigeon] holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and no-one delivereth [them]; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore [their share to them].
42:23 Who among you will give ear to this? [who] will hearken and hear for the time to come?
42:24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the "I AM", He against Whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in His Ways, neither were they obedient unto His Law.
42:25 Therefore He hath poured upon him the fury of His anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him (Israel) on fire round about, yet he understood not; and it burned him, yet he took [it] not to heart (did not learn from it).
Who is The Great Prince Michael?
