Titus 1:3
3 But [de] hath [phaneroo] in due [idios] times [kairos] manifested [phaneroo] his [autos] word [logos] through [en] preaching [kerugma], which [hos] is committed [pisteuo] unto
me [ego] according to [kata] the commandment [epitage]
of God [theos] our [hemon] Saviour [soter]; KJV-Interlinear
3 but at the proper time
manifested, even His word, in the proclamation with which I was entrusted
according to the commandment of God our Savior; NASB
God set out His
promises in eternity past.Obviously man
could not come to know about them until they were revealed.
So, God, at the
appropriate time in history, revealed His plan, mandates, principles
of truth, doctrines, promises and so forth.
And this information
was made known to the appropriate degree so as to help people at any point in
history, to be saved and grow up to spiritual maturity.
Adam and Eve knew of
the promise of the Savior. The seed of
the woman. Crush his head, and other
passages.Adam and Eve knew of the
sacrifices and their meanings.They were
provided clothes of animal skins.
Where did these skins
come from animals sacrificed.Cain and
Abel fought over their respective sacrifices.
Or rather Cain killed Abel because of the rejection of his (Cain s) false
sacrifice.
Throughout the
scriptures, the prophecies of the Savior were made known. From the family line to the designating star,
to the change is rule over the nation, to the precise day of His birth. All of this and far more,
was made known during the Old Testament times.
Our dispensation was
kept secret and not revealed until the time of its inception. The identity of the Anti-Christ will not be
revealed until after the Rapture.Millennial
doctrines will not be revealed until that future time. Truth for eternity is reserved until after
human history is concluded.
Each dispensation, each
generation, each era of time in history brought with it various revelations
from God, through human teachers, and here Paul states that he was given the
honor of being entrusted with doctrine, in his day. And as he probably did not realize, for all
of history after his time.
Jesus Christ is
God.He has existed for all of
eternity.There was never a time when He
did not exist.
Now the humanity of
Jesus was born as we are all born into this world, but Jesus Christ is the
single and only unique person in all of the universe and heaven, in that He is
both God and man, in one person.
This is often times
called the hypostatic union.Even the
Old Testament reveals this union, Deut. 6:4, Hear O Israel. The Lord is God. The Lord is one. The word for one means unique.
