Joel 228: Incompleteness In The Bible? But just what is it that Jesus completes?
We’re wondering... if there is an incompleteness theorem is there a completeness theorem? The Bible is marinated in incompleteness and the mathematical geniuses have discovered it starting with Kurt Gödel. We’re talking about the Aleph Tav. He is infinity. He is the singularity. And He wants us to know about Him. And we’re back into the donkey. They are identified as the servant. And why Jesus came on a donkey instead of a war horse is because He is humble. Christ did not come as a king. He came into Jerusalem as the suffering servant. And the question is, does He have to be infinite to be God. We’ve got lights going off and figs falling... are these Angels? And we get into the angelic war. Why has it been going on for so long? Will it stop? We’re into the plot of the wicked who are in and out of outer darkness. And Jesus from the cross says, “It is finished.” What is finished? Christ came to complete a work. There’s all kinds of connections to make. Lucifer is the angel of light. Where did that light come from? Why did he fall? When did the fallen angles fall? But just what is it that Jesus completes? Christ let’s the fallen angels have light for a while and then He takes it away. And in Genesis 1:2 we have darkness. Jesus restores and He does not replace... why? He takes the brokenness and He mends the broken. That’s part of His completing. There are five resurrections. And Christ is aware of every tear that was cried.
