50. 4. Where “spirit” is used in speaking of the Lord, it means his divine life and therefore the Lord himself.

The one whom the Father sent speaks the words of God; without limit God has given him the spirit. The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. (John 3:34-35)

A shoot will go forth from the trunk of Jesse; the spirit of Jehovah will rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and intelligence, the spirit of counsel and strength. (Isaiah 11:1-2)

I have put my spirit upon him; he will bring forth judgment to the nations. (Isaiah 42:1)

He will come [to us] as a narrow river; in him the spirit of Jehovah will bring [us] a sign. Then he will come to Zion as the Redeemer. (Isaiah 59:19-20)

The spirit of the Lord Jehovih is upon me; Jehovah has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. (Isaiah 61:1; Luke 4:18)

Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were having these thoughts within themselves. (Mark 2:8)

Jesus rejoiced in his spirit and said... (Luke 10:21)

Jesus was troubled in his spirit. (John 13:21)

Jesus sighed deeply in his spirit. (Mark 8:12)

[2] “Spirit” [stands] for Jehovah himself or the Lord.

God is a spirit. (John 4:24)

Who directed the spirit of Jehovah, or who was the man of his counsel? (Isaiah 40:13)

The spirit of Jehovah led them by means of the hand of Moses. (Isaiah 63:11-12, 14)

Where shall I go from your spirit, and where shall I flee? (Psalms 139:7)

Jehovah said, “[Zerubbabel] will accomplish this not by might but by my spirit.” (Zechariah 4:6)

They angered the spirit of his holiness; therefore he turned into an enemy for them. (Psalms 106:33)

My spirit will not contend with humankind forever, because humankind is flesh. (Genesis 6:3)

I will not dispute forever, because the spirit would fail in my presence. (Isaiah 57:16)

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, but someone who says a word against the Son of Humanity will be forgiven. (Matthew 12:31-32; Mark 3:28-30; Luke 12:10)

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is blasphemy against the Lord’s divine nature. Blasphemy against the Son of Humanity is something contrary to the Word, understanding its meaning differently. The Son of Humanity is the Lord as the Word, as already explained.

Revelation 22

Study

   

1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst Come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
