Philippians 2:10–11
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (KJV).
In this verse from Philippians it says that the three realms of existence will bow down to Him. The three realms are:
Heavenly beings-who love and know who He is.
Earthly beings- who have a choice to know and love Him or not.
Demonic beings-who know who He is but do not love Him
Those who realize who Jesus is and love him, also adore, worship, and bow down to His majesty. Heavenly or celestial beings knew who Jesus was before He appeared on the earth. This is described in chapters 4 and 5 of the book of Revelation.Jesus Christ qualifies as the Goel, and these instances are described in the Old Testament Law (also called the Mosaic Law) Satan brought sin and death into this world. Satan committed premeditated, first-degree murder by taking both the spiritual and physical life of Adam and Eve, and of every human being born since the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve would have lived forever if they had not been tempted to sin by Satan. Because Jesus the Son was born as a human baby (which makes Him our brother), He is our kinsman and the avenger of blood for all who believe. He will completely destroy Satan who is the "manslayer " of the human race. When Jesus died, if you believe in Him as your Savior, you are released from the death penalty of sin, just like the one who was able to flee to a City of Refuge and then able to go free after the death of the High Priest. So He fulfills the role of the High Priest & Avenger. |
