Who hath ASCENDED up into HEAVEN, or DESCENDED? who hath GATHERED the wind in his fists? who hath BOUND the waters in a garment? who hath ESTABLISHED ALL the ENDS of the EARTH? what IS HIS NAME, and WHAT IS HIS SON’S NAME, if thou CANST TELL? (Pro 30:4) I have DECLARED unto THEM thy NAME, and WILL DECLARE it: that the LOVE wherewith thou hast LOVED ME may be IN them, and I in them. (Jn 17:26) ANYBODY KNOW THAT NAME?
Did you know that Agur made this prophecy concerning the name of our God? Look carefully at this prophecy and you will find that the name of the Father and the name of his Son is one and the same name. It is Jesus that ascended up into heaven and it was Jesus who descended to Earth. “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.” (Jn 3:13) It is of great importance to take notice that Jesus said Son of man which refers to the flesh of God of which Jesus did not take on until his birth of the virgin Mary. Yet at this time Jesus was now saying that he was both on Earth and in Heaven as the Son of man at the same time. This because Jesus was Emmanuel which being interpreted is, God with us. “What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?” (Jn 6:62) “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” (Mt 1:23) “As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.” (Jn 6:57-58) It was Jesus that established all the ends of the earth. “And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:” (Eph 3:9) Jesus said, “I and my Father are one.” (Jn 10:30) Jesus received his name by inheritance. “Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.” “I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not. (Jn 5:43a) “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things” (Jn 14:26a) “And I have declared unto them thy name.” (Jn 17:26a) “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.” (Eph 3:14-15) The prophecy of Agur concerning the name of our God revealed and fulfilled in the name of Jesus Christ. “And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.” (1 Jn 5:20)
