Randolph/ Montrose, Colorado (U.S.A.)
Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Colossians 1:15 KJV
Who is the image of the invisible
God, The Firstborn of every creature:
Hebrews 1:6 KJV
And again, when He bringeth in The
Firstbegotten into the world, He saith, And let all the angels of God
worship Him.
Dear friend, does
“firstbegotten,” “firstborn,” necessarily mean the very first
born?
Here is the answer,
according to your God given King James Bible.
Definition-First
Born:
The son which was
born first (daughters did not count).
A position of
honor, after the fathers death, he became head of the family.
Old Testament
"First-Borns," were not necessarily, called the first one
born!
1)
Genesis 25 KJV
Esau sold his birthright, and Jacob (The youngest)
became the "First-born."
2)
A generation later:
Genesis 27 KJV
Jacob's
"first-born", was not his actual first-born with Leah
(Reuben), but rather His son, Joseph, with his wife Rachel.
3)
Genesis
48 KJV
Jacob blessed
Ephraim as "first-born, even though Manassah was the eldest.
So did the title
"first-born," necessarily mean the very first born?
No!
First-born, many times was a title given, an honor bestowed upon
the one God chose.

Psalm 89 KJV
Here we read of
King David and The King Of Kings and Lord of Lords (God's eternal Son
The Lord Jesus Christ.)
King David was not
the first-King, but he was God's honored King!
Psalm 89:20-24
KJV (Place of honor.)
20 I have found David My servant;
with My holy oil have I anointed him:
21 With whom My hand shall be
established: Mine arm also shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not exact upon
him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 And I will beat down his foes
before his face, and plague them that hate him.
24 But My faithfulness and My mercy
shall be with him: and in My name shall his horn be exalted.
Christ; King of
Kings and Lord of Lords (First-Born-place of honor.)
Psalm
89:16-18;26-29 KJV
16 In thy name shall they rejoice
all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
17 For thou art the glory of their
strength: and in thy favor our horn shall be exalted.
18 For The Lord is our defense; and
The Holy One Of Israel is our king.
26 He shall cry unto Me, Thou art My
father, My God, and The Rock Of My Salvation.
27 Also I will make Him My
Firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
28 My mercy will I keep for Him for
evermore, and My covenant shall stand fast with Him.
29 His seed also will I make to
endure for ever, and His throne as the days of heaven.
5)
Israel
Was Israel, the
first nation? No.
In Exodus 4:22/
Jeremiah 31:9 God calls Israel His "first-born."
This designates
that she has a place of honor with God, she is the "apple of His
eye."
Christ The
Son Of God, Is Eternal:
Isaiah 9:6 KJV
For unto us a child is born, unto us
a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and
His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The
Everlasting* Father, The Prince Of Peace.
*Everlasting-Hebrew:
Ad (Ad): Duration in the sense of perpetuity, eternity,
ever-lasting without end.
Isaiah 63:16 KJV
"...O Lord, art our Father, our
Redeemer; thy name is from everlasting*.
*Everlasting-Hebrew:
Owlam (O-lawm): Eternity, continuance, eternal, ever-lasting,
perpetual, without end.
Micah 5:2 KJV
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though
thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He
come forth unto Me that is to be Ruler in Israel; whose goings forth
have been from of old, from everlasting*.
Let's see now, who
was it born in Bethlehem?
Matthew 2:4,5
KJV (King Herod)
4 And when he had gathered all the
chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them
where Christ should be born.
5 And they said unto him, In
Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
*Everlasting-Hebrew:
Olam (O-lawm): Past or future, i.e. eternity; always,
continuance, eternal, ever -lasting, perpetual, without end.
Hebrew 7:3 KJV
Without father, without mother,
without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of
life; but made like unto The Son Of God; abideth a Priest
continually.
In everything, no
matter the Godly subject, Christ is the “first,” because He alone
is The Creator of all things! First In honor and majesty, because the
Eternal Father, has chosen and ordained Him, to be the First-born,
the First-fruits, receiving the honor and glory of God.

His glory is great in thy salvation:
honor and majesty hast thou laid upon Him.

make His praise glorious.

strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for
thy pleasure they are and were created.

unto Te Lamb for ever and ever.
