• Perpetual Virginity Of Mary
• Christ is called the first-born, not with reference to any
that succeeded, but for the following reasons:
• 1. Because there were special rites attending the birth of
a first-born son. These were not delayed until a second
was born, but performed at once. The law was, "Sanctify
unto me all the first-born: whatsoever openeth the womb
among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast, it
is mine" (Ex 13:2). Joseph and Mary, in obedience to this
law, brought our Savior to Jerusalem "to present him to
the Lord; as it is written in the law of the Lord: Every
male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the
Lord" (Luke 2:22,23). "First-born" is therefore equivalent
to "one that openeth the womb.

Firstborn prwto/tokos
The expression "first-born" is not always to be understood literally' it is
sometimes taken for the prime, most excellent, most distinguished of things.
Thus "'Jesus Christ" is "the first-born of every creature, the first-begotten, or
first--born from the dead;"
begotten of the Father before any creature was produced;
the first who rose from the dead by his own power .
Wisdom, says that she came out of the mouth of the Most High before he
had produced any'creature (Prov 8:22; Ecclus. 24:3; Ina. 14:390).
"The first-born of the poor." signifies the most miserable of the poor (Job
18:13).
"the first-born of death," the most terrible of deaths .
The "Church of the firstborn" (Heb 12:23) signifies the Church of the
redeemed-those who have become peculiarly the Lord's, consecration

• Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a
Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.

• Almah ,signifies a virgin, a maiden, a young
woman unmarried, but of marriageable age
• Perpetual Virginity Of Mary
• Joseph "knew her not till she had brought forth
her first-born son" (Matt 1:25); as if it implied that
he knew her afterwards, and that a first-born son
inferred a second-born. Jerome answered the
first objection by citing other instances in which
no such inference can be drawn from similar
language (1 Sam 15:35; 2 Sam 6:23; Matt
28:20;1 Cor 15:25 , Psalm 123:2)

• in its past tenses it frequently means "to know in the sense of
realizing," the aorist or point tense usually indicating definiteness,

19:4; 1:7; 17:19; 1:21; 2:11 .
• In the passive voice, it often signifies "to become known," e. g., Matt
10:26; Phil 4:5.
• In the sense of complete and absolute understanding on God's part,
it is used, e. g., in Luke 16:15; John 10:15 (of the Son as well as the
Father); 1 Cor 3:20. In Luke 12:46,
• KJV, it is rendered "he is... aware."
• Ezek 44:1-3
• 44:1 The East Gate and the Prince
• Then He brought me back to the outer gate of the
sanctuary which faces toward the east, but it was shut. 2
And the LORD said to me, "This gate shall be shut; it
shall not be opened, and no man shall enter by it,
because the LORD God of Israel has entered by it;
therefore it shall be shut. 3 As for the prince, because he
is the prince, he may sit in it to eat bread before the
LORD; he shall enter by way of the vestibule of the
gateway, and go out the same way."

not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are
Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

Two are better than one,
Because they have a good reward for their labor.
10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
For he has no one to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm;
But how can one be warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered by another, two
can withstand him.

• Herod
• In A.D. 38, after the death of Tiberius, he was
persuaded, especially at the ambitious
instigation of Herodias. to go to Rome to procure
for himself the royal title.
• Agrippa, who was high in the favor of Caligula,
and had already received this title, opposed this
with such success that Antipas was condemned
to perpetual banishment at Lyons, a city of Gaul
(Joseph. Ant. 18, 7, 2), and eventually died in
Spain
• Matt 11:7-11
• 7 As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning
John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed
shaken by the wind? 8 But what did you go out to see? A man
clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are
in kings' houses. 9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes,
I say to you, and more than a prophet. 10 For this is he of whom it
is written:
• "Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
• Who will prepare Your way before You.'
• 11 "Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has
not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in

asked him, saying, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the
Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
• 26 John answered them, saying,"I baptize with water, but there
stands One among you whom you do not know. 27 It is He who,
coming after me, is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am
not worthy to loose."
John’s Testimony
• John 1:29-36

"Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30
This is He of whom I said, 'After me comes a Man who is preferred
before me, for He was before me.' 31 I did not know Him; but that
He should be revealed to Israel, therefore I came baptizing with
water."
• 32 And John bore witness, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending from
heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him. 33 I did not know
Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'Upon
whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is
He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' 34 And I have seen and
testified that this is the Son of God."
• 35 The First Disciples
• Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. 36 And

• 15 I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The
cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood

body of Christ? 17 For we, though many, are one bread and one
body; for we all partake of that one bread.
