The Angelic Conflict - Part 51 -
“Crowned with glory and honor” is not speaking of His resurrected body but His physical body which was without sin and impeccable.

1. It saved mankind!

2. It got back the crown that Adam lost.

The first Adam tasted the fruit and died spiritually; the last Adam tasted death and we live eternally.

for = gar = used to link the last sentence with the next one. It points to why Heb 1 and Heb 2:1-9 are true.

“it was fitting” = imp-act-ind - eprepen = to have inner fitness, to be totally equipped or suitable.

As a part of the victory in the angelic conflict and our Lord’s new position at the right hand of God the Father, God takes fallen humans and makes something out of them that causes Satan to grind his teeth!

1. Everything depends on God’s character and God’s ability.

2. God designed a perfect plan that man can have nothing to do with or else it is no longer perfect.

3. Legalism is the great enemy of Christ.

4. Satan cannot get into us through demon possession so he uses false doctrine and legalistic teaching to cause demon influence in our souls.

In the angelic conflict, Satan promotes human good within Christians to make them perform and improve his world!

“many sons” = believers in the Church-age only who are sons of God because of their union with TLJC, Mat 3:17; Eph 1:6, Gal 3:26-28.

glory = doxan = dignity and honor

author = archegon = the chief or supreme leader, the ruler, the prince, or the author.

Act 3:15 But you put to death the Prince [archegon] of life, the one whom God raised from the dead, a fact to which we are witnesses.

Act 5:31 “He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince [archegon] and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.”

to perfect = aor-act-inf - teleiosai = to advance to completion, to finish; TLJC is completed when every son (Church-age believer) is presented to Him as His bride!

“Sufferings” is in the plural because He was judged for every single sin in the history of the human race!

“He who sanctifies” = pres-act-part - hagiazon = to make holy, to purify even mentally.

1Co 1:2, Heb 10:10 - every believer is sanctified or set apart for God.

sanctified = pres-mid-part - hagiazomenoi = to receive holiness and to be set apart by God.

Heb 4:13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

Psa 130:3 If you Lord marked iniquities, no one could stand!

TLJC is perfect and every believer is in union with Him!

to call = pres-act-inf - kalien = to call or to name.

1Co 2:16 - through the mind of Christ!

Behold = aor-mid-imp - idou = to look or to focus your attention!

“God has given” = aor-act-ind - edoken = to reward through giving.

In this angelic conflict, Satan holds man in his power, just like a jailer holds a prisoner until there is a true legal release.

“might deliver” = aor-act-sub - apallaxe = to release or to set free; or to deliver!

1. Jesus Christ became true humanity to do the will of the Father, Heb 10:5-10.

2. Jesus Christ had to become true humanity to be the Savior of the world, Phi 2:7-8; Heb 2:14-15.

3. Jesus Christ had to become true humanity to be the mediator between God and man, Job 9:2,32-33; 1Ti 2:5-6.

4. Jesus Christ had to become true humanity to be our high priest, Heb 7:4-5,14,28; Heb 10:5,10-14.

5. Jesus Christ had to become true humanity to be a king and rule forever. He had to be the Son of David to fulfill the Davidic covenant to Israel, 2Sa 7:8-16; Psa 89:20-37.

suffered = per-act-ind - peponthen = to suffer, to undergo punishment.

was tempted = aor-pass-part - peirastheis = to test, to approve for good or bad, to test someone to determine their character.

pres-pass-part - peirazomenois = to test, to try the quality and character of an individual!
