John and Doves,

In part 3 of the series

"Led of the Holy Spirit" Derek Prince shows us the symbols used for the persons of the Godhead.

Jesus is represented as a Lamb.

When Jesus came to the river Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist, John said,

 "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin (singular) of the world."

What is that singular sin of each individual ever born ?

It is the sin of unbelief that Jesus is God and our Lord. 

It is the same sin as not trusting in Him with all one's heart.

Deuteronomy 6:4,5.

That is the prime sin from which all other sins come from. That sin stems from the attitude of pride.

Lucifer had it and so did Adam and Eve, and so do all of us when we first begin to sin, before we come to repentance.

"There in none righteous, no not one."

Romans 3:10

Revelation 5 tells us that a perfect Lamb had to be slain as a substitute sin- offering in order for us to be redeemed. 

That Lamb presented Himself before the Father and the whole human race

in the person of Jesus Christ.

Jesus was slain before the Creation of the earth and of mankind...before history ever began.

Jesus had to be slain before we were born in order to prove that Jesus did this out of pure love for us and the Father's Plan of Redemption, "while we were yet in our sins."    

Romans 5:8

John the Revelator said, 

"I wept much because no one was found worthy to open and read the book, neither to look thereon.

"We have all sinned, and come short of the glory of God." 

Romans 3:23

So Jesus came to John the Baptist symbolized as a sacrificial Lamb.

When John baptized Him,

the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus as a dove, thus anointing Christ for the Salvation ministry He was to begin.

Jesus's baptism is recorded in 3 Gospels.

In John the Apostle's Gospel it is recorded in the Arabian desert region

 " beyond Jordan"

(east of the Jordan River).

That would be the Hamitic region. John 1:28

This was noted so that 1/3 of the human race--  the Hamitics-- would have no excuse to not believe that Jesus was God, having had a direct revelation from God out of heaven, that Jesus proceeded from the Father. It was to be passed on by progeny.

Most likely this was at the Passover Season.

The direct revelation is given also in 

Luke 3: 21, 22.

Luke is referred to as the

Gospel directed to the Gentiles, all nations surrounding the Jordan.

(Japhetics)

So now, by progeny, 2/3rds of the human race have had a direct revelation that Jesus is God.

Since this is associated with all nations,  this would most likely be at the season of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit appeared as a Dove in cloven tongues of Fire.

Here the Holy Ghost anointed Believers with the gifts of the Holy Spirit to preach the Gospel of Repentance to all nations.

When did the Jewish nation get the direct revelation from the Father that Jesus was His beloved Son?

At the feast of Sukkot, or Ingathering. This is shown within a Jewish context in Matthew 17:5.

So we see how the symbols of the Lamb and the Dove represent Jesus and the Holy Ghost.
