http://www.dictionary.com/browse/condescending?s=t

That emboldened part is the active ingredient to the meaning. Viz:

Quote:show that one feels superior; be patronizing.
"take care not to condescend to your reader"

do something in such a way as to emphasize that one clearly regards it as below one's dignity or level of importance.
"he condescended to see me at my hotel"

While it does carry the meaning of descent, it's not a physical change of elevation but a lowering of one's sense of superiority.

What about my post makes you think I was speaking of elevation? I said God condescend himself down to being human; as in from a position of superiority to an inferior one.
