what is the return of the kingdom but the Word divesting itself of its human form to be glorifed

Jhn 8:35
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

Heb 7:16
Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
Heb 7:17
For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Heb 13:8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever

Not one verse says "the Word shall divest himself of his humanity", or that Jesus Christ shall ever be less God than he is today right now.
The verse in Corinthians says he shall be SUBJECT, not " de-deified" or "divested of humanity" or any such things.
Why must people go beyond what is written? I never understood the need...
