[2] SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [821B]
A wise man shall hear, and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth shall possess governments. He shall understand a parable and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their mysterious sayings. (Proverbs 1:5-6, Douay Rheims Catholic Bible; DRCB)
Though it calls for effort, we can acquire direction and learn to ‘sail’ successfully on the sea of life. As Proverbs indicates, we have to let ‘wisdom,’ ‘understanding,’ and ‘insight’ work together (Proverbs 1:2-6; 2:1-9). And we can not neglect seeking divine guidance, for even the wicked may know how to ‘steer’ for unjust ends per Proverbs 12:5.

[3] DISCOURSE ON LUKE 22:70
Luke 22:70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. (Authorized King James - AV)
Here some mockers of Jesus (Yeshua) were questioning and making fun of him. Right before this statement he, Jesus (Yeshua) had said, Luke 22:69, "Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God." (AV) clearly telling his mockers that after he finished his earthly course of life as a flesh and blood human that he would go to heaven and sit at the right hand of God (YHWH), his Father, as a spirit being. It is to be noted that he plainly said at the right hand of God (YHWH) clearly showing that he was NOT God (YHWH) or a manifestation of God (YHWH), but would be a separate spirit being that would be working close with his Father in heaven. This is in keeping with John 4:23-24, "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth." (AV) Likewise, when the Son of God returned to heaven, he too would at that time be a spirit being as flesh and blood can not exist in heaven, 1 Corinthians 15:50 ";Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption." (AV) In fact as he was getting ready to return to heaven, Jesus (Yeshua) prayed to his Father (YHWH), John 17:5, "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was."(AV) To be returned to his position that he had before coming to the earth. This is very important as it shows that Jesus's Father (YHWH) was the superior one in the entire universe and that Jesus (Yeshua) was an obedient Son and recognized that all power and glory radiated from his Father (YHWH).
Likewise, Jesus (Yeshua) has given him some of his power and glory and in turn he has given some of this power or holy spirit to his followers as shown at John 17:22, "And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one" (AV) this scripture also shows he is one in purpose with his Father (YHWH) and that his followers would be one in purpose with him. This is further shown a few scriptures later at John 17:24, "Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world." (AV). It is to be noted that Jesus (Yeshua) always sought not his own glory but that of his Father (YHWH) and he said, John 7:18, "He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him." (AV) Showing clearly that he sought not his own glory but that of his Father (YHWH) who had sent him. One time when healing an individual he said, John 11:40, "Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?" (AV) emphasizing God's (YHWH's) glory and not his own and showing the need to believe without reservation in his Father (YHWH) for all his followers.
Now, let's return to and learn the contents of Luke 22:70 and what was befalling Jesus (Yeshua), let's look at, Luke 22:63 - 68, "And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go." (AV) Thus we clearly see that Jesus (Yeshua) is a separate and distinct entity from his Father (YHWH) and therefore could NOT be a part of a Duality or Trinity of one God existing in various manifestations; for this to be the case the scriptures would have to read God the Son and not the Son of God. Also, God (YHWH) could not have come and given his human life to redeem mankind as the Bible clearly shows that no one has seen God (YHWH) at any time, John 6:46, "Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father." As only Jesus (Yeshua) has seen him.
