This is the second book in this series "Inheriting Sonship". The biblical prophets spoke prophetically in Hebrew to the Hebrews. Their words were understood within the framework of their culture in which they spoke. The book of Revelation was given prophetically by John and seen within the context of ancient Hebrew culture, the mysteries surrounding the eternal purposes of God and the Day of Judgement can be understood. Adam was the original Son of God. Although he was created from the dust of the earth he held the glorious office of "Sonship" by his heart being personally filled by the life's breath or Holy Spirit of God's fatherhood. When Adam and Eve established the serpent's lies as true within the breathings of their personality they disobeyed God. They ate forbidden fruit and gasped out the life's breath or Holy Spirit of God that indwelled their hearts. Being cast out of the paradise of Eden, they were no longer the "Sons of God". They rejected a relationship with God and entered into a relationship with that which was good or evil, blessing or curse. They lost the title deeds of dominion upon the Earth and in the same way God lost the title deeds and His dominion within their hearts. The Book of Revelation describes in detail how the man who never sinned - Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Abraham, Son of David, and Son of God opens the seals of the title deed of dominion and Sonship originally given to but then lost by Adam. What has been sown must one day be reaped and the full extent of the catastrophic sowing of Satan's words of lying breath or demons into their hearts, the loss of their dominion upon the Earth, and the loss of God's dominion within their hearts and was not apparent. Before Jesus returns with his Bride or corporate Son or City of God to re-establish the paradise of God's Kingdom upon the Earth, the Son of Destruction or ultimate sinner must first be revealed. Just as there were two trees in the centre of the garden of Eden, there are two different kingdoms, two different generational seed lines, two different hearts or personalities, two different sources of inspiration, two different ways of behaving, but three different destinies. Each kingdom has its own "Ultimate Son", the Son of Destruction (or Antichrist) and Jesus, the Son of God (or Christ). It is the revelation of this Abomination of Desolation or Antichrist and his destructive kingdom, the opening of the seven seals, and the confrontation between these two Sons, Son of Destruction and the Son of God and their respective kingdoms that constitutes the Day of Judgement. The "Revelation of Sonship" explains from an ancient Hebraic cultural perspective that the way people behave from their heart is the revelation of their sonship. Part 1 discusses this in detail. Part 2 explains the Book of Revelation and how this relates to the revelation of sonship discussed in Part 1. Part 3 gives an ancient Hebraic cultural commentary on the Book of Revelation. The Book of Revelation is an unsealed book that is meant to be understood. To those who take to heart what the Book of Revelation actually means there is great blessing because people live what they really believe. Death is temporary, resurrection is permanent. The heart that people die with they will rise with. Behaviour in life will become inheritance in resurrection and this is the basis of God's Final Judgement. Those who live in relationship with what is good or evil, blessing or curse will be judged by that relationship and this will be the basis of God's Judgement of the Great White Throne at the End of Days. God has a different destiny for those that He has sovereignly chosen to become the person of His Son. The Sons of God are the ones who are counted worthy to experience the First Resurrection, but in order for them to enter into that destiny and therefore inherit Sonship, they must first overcome.

It is at once the focus of creation, a metaphor for salvation, a moral imperative and the goal of human restoration.

In antiquity, “son of god”—meaning a ruler designated by the gods to carry out their will—was a title used by the Roman emperor Augustus and his successors as a way to reinforce their divinely appointed status. But this title was also used by early Christians to speak about Jesus, borrowing the idiom from Israelite and early Jewish discourses on monarchy. This interdisciplinary volume explores what it means to be God’s son(s) in ancient Jewish and early Christian literature. Through close readings of relevant texts from multiple ancient corpora, including the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Greco-Roman texts and inscriptions, early Christian and Islamic texts, and apocalyptic literature, the chapters in this volume engage a range of issues including messianism, deification, eschatological figures, Jesus, interreligious polemics, and the Roman and Jewish backgrounds of early Christianity and the authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The essays in this collection demonstrate that divine sonship is an ideal prism through which to better understand the deep interrelationship of ancient religions and their politics of kingship and divinity. In addition to the editors, the contributors to this volume include Richard Bauckham, Max Botner, George J. Brooke, Jan Joosten, Menahem Kister, Reinhard Kratz, Mateusz Kusio, Michael A. Lyons, Matthew V. Novenson, Michael Peppard, Sarah Whittle, and N. T. Wright.

The concept of Sonship in the 21st Century writings and sermons normally takes the form of protg and protge. This is an important biblical principle where, a mantle can be passed from fathers to sons. It is however, unfortunate that today many have claimed to be fathers without adherence to the biblical concept and likewise many claim sonship without a proper understanding of what it really means to be a son. In Sons and Sonship, Mr. Nkomo helps to bring home the fact that God has a special purpose for you as a son sons of God. There is a mandate that God has raised you for. He is saying Son of Faith Arise and Shine carry out the mandate of your father. Every son needs to find their purpose because creation is waiting. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God (Romans 8 vs. 19). This book will, I trust help you identify your purpose and sonship and bringing a revival in your life.

Biblical Foundations Book Awards Runner Up and Finalist What does the epistle to the Hebrews mean when it calls Jesus "Son"? Is "Son" a title that denotes his eternal existence as one person of the Trinity? Or is it a title Jesus receives upon his installation on heaven's throne after his resurrection and ascension? In this Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture (SCDS) volume, which promotes fresh understandings of Christian belief through creative, faithful readings of the canonical text, pastor and New Testament scholar R. B. Jamieson probes the complexity of the Christology presented in the epistle to the Hebrews. Exploring the paradox of this key term, Jamieson argues that, according to Hebrews, "Son" names both who Jesus is eternally and what he becomes at the climax of his incarnate, saving mission. Jesus is, in short, the eternal Son who became the messianic Son for us and for our salvation. This volume thereby offers a case study showing how the church's core convictions about Christ lead us not away from the text, but deeper into it. Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture, edited by Daniel J. Treier and Kevin J. Vanhoozer, promotes evangelical contributions to systematic theology, seeking fresh understanding of Christian doctrine through creatively faithful engagement with Scripture in dialogue with church.
