Here we find that out about the final chapter of God’s victory story when out of the tribe of Judah comes the Lion (Yeshua) and He brings to pass the fullness of God’s plan. Further we find prophesied in the book of Revelation the end of the story of this earth as we know it. The plan which began before the foundation of the earth was pronounced to satan in the garden and declared in covenant language to Abraham. God in His mercy provided a plan for mankind. It becomes clear how much effort satan puts into trying to portray God as a liar and stop His eternal plan.įrom the day there was war in heaven satan’s goal has been to establish his own kingdom and be worshiped as the supreme god.

No one ever has all of the gifts because God has ordained that the members of the Church be mutually dependent. Because each believer only has a measure of the Spirit, each one has different gifts and ministries (I Cor. The New Testament teaches that all who believe in Yeshua as Messiah are given a measure of the Holy Spirit.
When looking for the fulfillment of this prophecy in the life of Yeshua, we find that in John 3:34, John the Baptist describes Yeshua as having the fullness of the Spirit: For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God for He gives the Spirit without measure.
