39. God Himself came into the world and put on the Human, and made this Divine (John 1:1, 3, 14), namely:
God was the Word, and the Word was made Flesh (John 1:1, 14);
thus God was made Flesh, that is, Man. He also was the Creator, for it is said:
The world was made by Him (John 1:10). (See also Isa. 9:6; 7:14; Jer. 23:5, 6; 33:15, 16; Isa. 42:8; Mal. 3:1; Isa. 25:9.) Also, He was from eternity (from the Gospels).
