I don’t think there’s much reason to connect the “form of a god” language directly with the divine right to rule theme. One has to do with outward appearance, the other with authority and status—though what Josephus has to say…

Tyre is a mercantile city on the edge of the sea; it has walls and towers; it has rowers and pilots; it withstood an assaut by the king of Babylon (Ezek. 26:4; 27:2, 8; 29:18). It’s not a rock. The ruler of…
Jay Riszio | Thu, 07/30/2026 - 02:44 | Permalink The Hebrew word incorrectly translated “man” is actually the name of a man. It is all about Adam. It is liteally the Hebew word Adam. Tyrus is simply a Hebrew word that translate as “the rock” So yes, Adam was appointed king of this rock by God and we are his children are princes of this rock. There are many songs about this by “Gospel for Hostiles”…

ADAM THE 1ST | Wed, 07/22/2026 - 03:02 | Permalink The exact same phrase ( ego eimi ) was used by the blind man who was healed in John 9:9: “He said, I am” ( ego eimi ). No one accuses the blind man of claiming to be the Almighty Yahweh; he was simply stating his identity in the row. The actual, explicit proof for divinity is structurally written right in the Prolog (John 1:1): In the Greek text,…

Strictly, yes, the present tense εἰμί rules out the notion that the action was completed in the past. That’s my point.
