Approach: Reading and understanding John 1:1-4 before understanding verses 14-15.
Hermeneutic objective: Observing how to understand the apostle John's figure of speech - metaphor.
Theological objective: In union with His Father the invisible God, and pre-existed before He came into being on earth, the Greek name
"Jesus," is a translation of the Hebrew name Yehôšûa' and it means "Yahweh is help" or "Yahweh is salvation."
The Old Testament
prophesizes of the coming "Yahweh is salvation," and the New Testament records His presence on earth proclaiming the Good News. God’s word
became flesh.
