Ot God Yehovah Is NT God Jesus
JESUS IS CALLED IN THE BIBLE AS THE: only one who is Lord; the only one
who is King of Kings; the only one who is Lord of Lords; the only one to be exalted on
that day; the only one who is immortal; the only one who is Savior; the only one who
make wonders/miracles; the only one who we should worship; the only one who has
Glory and who doesn’t share his glory with anyone; the only one who is Holy
THE SAME ATTRIBUTES OF YEHOVAH AND JESUS PROVE THAT BOTH
ARE ONE. There are numerous verses in the Bible which show that Yehovah and Jesus
Christ are claiming same attributes. In the ultimate analysis of these verses, one can
easily conclude that Yehovah and Yahushua or Jesus are one and the same person, the
son of God. JER 17:10 I, Jehovah, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every
man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings. REV 2:23 And I will kill
her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the
reins and hearts: and I will give unto each one of you according to your works. DEUT
32:39 See now that I, even I, am he, And there is no God with me: I kill, and I make
alive; I wound, and I heal; And there is none that can deliver out of my hand. JN 10:17-
18 Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it
again. No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it
down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father.
JN6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him: and I will
raise him up in the last day.
JESUS HAS THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD. God says there is no God apart from
Him. Jesus and God are both addressed by the same title FIRST AND LAST,
BEGINNING AND END. Hence both refer to the same God. Isaiah 44:6 I am the
first and I am the last; Apart from me there is no God." Now please cross reference this
with the words of Jesus in Revelation 1:17-18. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as
one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the
last, and the Living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, and I have
the keys of death and of Hades. We can rightly conclude that both are one. REV 1:8, "I
am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to
come, the Almighty." Micah 5:2 A ruler would come from Bethlehem, but his goings
forth were actually "from of old" (Hebrews QEDEM), "from everlasting" (Hebrews
OLAM). That this is a prophecy of Jesus is confirmed by Matthew 2:4-6. Isaiah 9:6 - He
is called "Everlasting" Father (Hebrews AD). EVERLATING CAN HAVE BEGINNING
BUT NO END, HENCE NOT ETERNAL. Infinite holiness is a unique characteristic of
God. Man is not always holy (Romans 6:10-23; 1 John 1:8,10), but God is sinlessly
perfect. He is always holy, just, and righteous. Jesus also possesses this characteristic of
holiness. Acts 3:14; 4:27,30; 13:35; Hebrews 7:26; John 8:46; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter
2:20-23; Mark 1:24; Luke 1:35 (2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 John 3:5).
AUTHOR-PRINCE. Jesus is called "Author" in Acts 3:15 and Hebrews 2:10;12:2 and
"Prince" in Acts 5:31 (NIV). In each case the Greek word is the same: archegos, means
PIONEER, SOURCE, KING. "Author of salvation", the "author and perfector of our
faith" (Heb 2:10; 12:2). THE CHOSEN ONE. Jesus is "The Chosen One" par
excellence and been appointed by God to accomplish his task on earth. He
embodies all that Old Testament chosen ones were to have been. Jesus refers to his
apostles as those whom he has chosen, and church his also called God's "chosen by
virtue of being Christ's body. CHRIST, MESSIAH, ANOINTED ONE. The word
"Christ" is used to identify Jesus of Nazareth as that person whom God anointed to be
the redeemer of humanity. The significance of the name "Christ" lies in the fact that it
was a title granted to Jesus by virtue of his fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and
by his resurrection from the dead. The name "Jesus" was a common Hebrew name and
is borne by other people in the New Testament including Barabbas and Justus (Mt
27:17; Col 4:11). But no one else bears the name Christ. It is significant that early
disciples of Jesus were not called Christians, the followers of Christ. FIRSTBORN.
Jesus is referred to by the singular form of the word "firstborn" (prototokos) in six
passages in the New Testament. He is called the physical firstborn of Mary in Luke
2:7, because he subsequently had brothers and sisters (Mt 13:55). In a spiritual sense,
he is called firstborn to differentiate him from the angels (Heb 1:6). He is the
firstborn of all creation (Col 1:15). And to those who believe in him he is the
"firstborn among many brothers" (Rom 8:29). He is unique among human beings,
because of his resurrection from the dead. He was the first one resurrected to die
no more, and thus he has the preeminence (Col 1:18; Rev 1:5). GOD. John 1:1 clearly
equates "the word" with God; in 1:14 it becomes clear that "the word" is Jesus. In John
1:18 some translations call Jesus "God the One and Only" (NIV). Romans 9:5 speaks of
"Christ, who is God over all, forever praised!" Grammatical rules permit rending
2Thes 1:12 as "the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ." The same holds true
of Titus 2:13 ("our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ") and 2 Pet 1:1 ("our God
and Savior Jesus Christ"). Hebrews 1:8 calls the Son God; 1 John 5:20 says of
Jesus, "He is the true God and eternal life." Such texts confirm the impression
given indirectly in other places that Jesus merits the name "God" by virtue of his
mastery over wind and sea, personification of God's kingdom (Lk 11:20), ability to
forgive sins, and intimacy with the invisible Father etc. HOLY ONE OF GOD. In the
Old Testament, "the Holy One of God" is a divine epithet common in the prophets and
poetic literature used to communicate the separateness of the Lord. The New Testament
applies this name to Jesus (Mk 1:24; Lk 4:34; Jn 6:69; Acts 3:14 etc). LORD. Scripture
ascribes glory to Jesus Christ in numerous ways, but in naming him "Lord" it makes an
ultimate statement. In the Septuagint the word appears over nine-thousand times; in
over six-thousand of those passages kyrios replaces YHWH (YEHOVAH). Yet this is
precisely what Paul does in testifying that God the Father bestowed on the Son "the
name that is above every man" in order that all creation might acknowledge Jesus Christ
as "Lord (kyrios), to the glory of God the Father" (Phil 2:911). "Lord" thus serves as the
name par excellence for Jesus Christ. The Old Testament had predicted that a deliverer
would come in the name of Lord. He would somehow be the Lord himself. Jesus invites
reflection on this logically difficult truth in asking what David meant by affirming, "The
Lord [Heb. YHWH] says to my Lord…(Ps 110:1). "My Lord and my God!" (Jn 20:28).
ONE AND ONLY, ONLY BEGOTTEN. Jesus is called monogenes in five New
Testament passages which modern translations tend to render "one and only" (NIV). In
any case, emphasis falls on Jesus' singular status: He is uniquely related to the Father,
so close to him as to be one with him, yet as distinct from him as was necessary to allow
for full identification with humanity through the incarnation. Recent translations
correctly reflect that Jesus' status as "only begotten" underscores his
uniqueness rather than his place or mode of origin - it does not directly
refer to his virgin birth. Both as unrivaled expression of the Father's glory and as
distinct from any created human, he holds pre-eminence. He is monogenes, utterly
unique, in his person and saving role. SON OF DAVID. We can trace two lines of
interpretation regarding the Son of David in the Old Testament, one that draws
attention to a direct successor during the united monarchy, and the other that applies
the earlier promises to the coming of a future individual. Both are crucial to
understanding the title for Jesus in the New Testament. Mention of the Son of David
begins in the Old Testament with the oracle the prophet Nathan delivers to David (2Sam
7:12-16). God promises David offspring to succeed him. God "will be his father, " and
David's house and kingdom will be established forever. Numerous psalms highlight the
same excitement over the continuation of the Davidic line. The New Testament
addresses this issue by affirming that Jesus is both a direct descendent of David and yet
more than another human successor. Jesus was both "born through the seed of David
according to the flesh and "foreseen as the Son of God in power by the Spirit of
sanctification through the resurrection of the dead. In 2 Tim 2:8 we also find the
resurrection and Christ's having "descended from David" in a creedal context. SON OF
GOD. The phrase "Son of God" is a title used of Jesus to indicate that he is divine in
nature, just as the title "Son of Man, " among other things, indicates that he is human.
After his conversion and call to apostleship, Paul immediately began to declare in the
synagogues that Jesus was indeed the Son of God. SON OF MAN. Jesus frequently
refers to the Son of Man in the third person, causing some to assume he was not
speaking of himself. Nevertheless, the term seems to be not only a self-designation, but
Jesus' favorite one.

good. As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of

through Jesus Christ. For it stands in Scripture: ‘Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a
cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.’

us according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore, it says, ‘When he ascended on
high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men .’ (In saying, ‘He
ascended,’ what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the
earth? He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that
he might fill all things.)" Ephesians 4:7-10.

"‘O my God,’ I say, ‘take me not away in the midst of my days - you whose years endure
throughout all generations!’ Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the
heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you will remain; they
will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass
away, but you are the same, and your years have no end." Psalm 102:24-27. "But of
the Son he says ... And, ‘You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the
beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish, but

a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no
end.’" Hebrews 1:8a, 10-12.
"And it came to pass in the year in which king Ozias died, that I saw the Lord sitting
on a high and exalted throne, and the house was full of his glory. And
seraphs stood round about him: each one had six wings: and with two they
covered their face, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. And one
cried to the other, and they said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is
full of his glory’. And the lintel shook at the voice they uttered, and the house was filled
with smoke. And I said, Woe is me, for I am pricked to the heart; for being a man, and
having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people having unclean lips; and I have seen
with mine eyes the King, the Lord of hosts… And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,
Whom shall I send, and who will go to this people? And I said, behold, I am here, send
me. And he said, Go, and say to this people, Ye shall hear indeed, but ye shall not
understand; and ye shall see indeed, but ye shall not perceive. For the heart of this
people has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they
closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand
with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them." Isaiah 6:1-5, 8-10. "Even
after Jesus had done all these miraculous signs in their presence, they still would not
believe in him. This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: ‘Lord, who has believed
our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?’ For this reason they
could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere: ‘He has blinded their eyes and
deadened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with
their hearts, nor turn-and I would heal them.’ Isaiah said this because he saw
Jesus' glory and spoke about." John 12:37-41.

cried out, ‘If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in
me, as the Scripture has said, "Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."’" John
7:37-38.
"Thus says Yahweh: ‘Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength,
whose heart turns away from Yahweh. He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see
any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited
salt land. Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, whose trust is Yahweh .
He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not
fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of
drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.’" Jeremiah 17:5-8. "Let not your hearts be
troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me." John 14:1. "which is why I suffer as I
do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he
is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me." 2 Timothy 1:12. "And
behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the east. And the sound of his
coming was like the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory."
Ezekiel 43:2. "As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of days took his
seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure
wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire. A stream of fire
issued and came out from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten
thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books
were opened." Daniel 7:9-10. "I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of
heaven there came one like a son of man , and he came to the Ancient of Days and
was presented before him. And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting
dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed."
Daniel 7:13-14. "Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I
saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of
man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of
his head were white like wool, as white as snow . His eyes were like a flame
of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his
voice was like the roar of many waters . In his right hand he held seven stars,
from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in
full strength. When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand
on me, saying, ‘Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and
behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.’"
Revelation 1:12-18.
"Behold, a day is coming for the LORD, when the spoil taken from you will be divided in
your midst. For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city
shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city shall go
out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then the LORD
will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. On that
day HIS FEET shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on
the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide
valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half
southward. And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the
mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the
days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the
holy ones with him." Zechariah 14:1-5 "And when he had said these things, as they
were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they
were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and
said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was
taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him
go into heaven.’ Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called
Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away." Acts 1:9-12. "May he
strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God
and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones ." 1 Thes 3:13.
"and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is
revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting
vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of
our Lord Jesus. They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the
presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, when he comes on that day to be
glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because
our testimony to you was believed." 2 Thes 1:7-10.
"For I Yahweh do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not
consumed." Malachi 3:6. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and
forever." Heb 13:8
Compare Isa 6:1- with Jn 12:39-41 For this cause they could not believe, for that
Isaiah said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart; Lest they
should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should
heal them. These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake of
him. Compare Mt 3:3 with Isa 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Also

THERE ARE MANY OTHER PASSAGES ALSO IN THE BIBLE ABOUT
YEHOWAH WHICH ARE CLEARLY APPLIED TO JESUS CHRIST. THERE
ARE ALSO SPECIFIC PROPHECIES ABOUT JEHOVAH WHICH ARE
APPLIED TO JESUS CHRIST. Listing all of them are beyond the scope of this study.
The interested readers can easily find them through internet search.
Mt 12:6-8 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple… For the
Son of Man is LORD OF THE SABBATH. Mk 14:61-65 Again the high priest asked
him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One? "I am," said Jesus. "And you
will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and
COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN." The high priest tore his clothes. "Why
do we need any more witnesses?" he asked. "You have heard the blasphemy. What do
you think?" They all condemned him as worthy of death. (Daniel 7:13-14).
Thomas said to him, "MY LORD AND MY GOD!" Then Jesus told him, "Because you
have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have
believed. (John 20:28-29). Instead of rebuking Thomas Jesus blesses his confession of
faith showing that Jesus was not opposed to being identified as Lord God.
Acts 2:38: Peter replied, "Repent and BE BAPTIZED, EVERY ONE OF YOU, IN
THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit. Since Jesus is the person we are baptized in the name of, or
into, it therefore follows that in the light of these important previous cultural practices –
Jesus is the God of the Christians.
So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in
the world and that there is no God but one. For even if there are so-called gods, whether
in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"), yet for us
there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and
THERE IS BUT ONE LORD, JESUS CHRIST, through whom all things came
and through whom we live. (1 Cor 8:4-6). HENCE OT YEHOVAH IS JESUS.
IN THE DAY OF THE LORD JESUS. (2 Corinthians 1:14). BY USING THIS KIND
OF LANGUAGE ABOUT JESUS SUCH AS THE “DAY OF THE LORD JESUS,” PAUL
SHOWS THAT HE BELIEVES JESUS IS YEHOWAH BECAUSE ACCORDING
TO THE OLD TESTAMENT THEY WERE EXPECTING THE DAY OF
YEHOWAH AND HIS GLORIOUS RETURN. Alas for the day! For the day of the
LORD is near, and as destruction from the Almighty it comes. (Joel 1:15). For
the day of the LORD is great and very awesome; who can endure it? … The sun shall
be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of
the LORD comes. (Joel 2:1, 11, 31). Therefore, on the day of the Lord Jesus,
when he returns, it is actually the day of YEHOWAH because he is
returning. The conclusion is that Jesus is YEHOWAWH.
In Eph 1:19-23 it is stated that the Lord Jesus has been exalted to the highest
position imaginable, one belonging to God; and that Christ spiritually fills
his entire church with his presence and also filling everything else as well
(Eph 4:7-10). This is an attribute of Almighty God because only he is everywhere and is
able to fill all things.
For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible
and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things
were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all
things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning
and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have supremacy.
(Col 1:16-18).
So that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and
Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all HIS saints. (1 Thes 3:13). This will
happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with HIS
powerful angels. (2 Thes 1:7). This very fact is reiterated in the gospel of Matthew and
Mark: ‘For the Son of Man is to come with HIS angels in the glory of his Father, and
then he will repay every man for what he has done.’ (Mat 16:27). At that time men will
see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And he will send
HIS angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to
the ends of the heavens. (Mark 13:26-27). The angels and saints belong to
YEHOWAH. YEHOWAH is sovereign over all creation and thus it belongs to
him. This shows that Jesus and YEHOWAH are one and the same since
Jesus is said to own the angels and saints. Bless Jehovah, ye HIS angels,
That are mighty in strength, that fulfill his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word
(Ps 103:20). Praise ye him, all HIS angels: Praise ye him, all his host. (Ps 148:2)
Hebrews quotes Psalms 102’s account of God Almighty creating all things and applies it
to the Lord Jesus Christ! Of the Lord Jesus Christ Hebrews 1:10-12 says: He also says,
"In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the
heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they
will all wear out like a garment. You will roll them up like a robe; like a
garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will
never end.” Of God Psalm 102:25-27 says: Of old You founded the earth, And the
heavens are the work of Your hands. "Even they will perish, but You endure;
And all of them will wear out like a garment; Like clothing You will change
them and they will be changed." But You are the same, And Your years will
not come to an end. Here Jesus is explicitly identified as Yahweh the creator
God.
My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord
of glory. (James 2:1). James 2:1 refers to Jesus as God (Ps. 24:7-10;Zech. 2:5). "Simeon
Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal
standing with ours in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ (2
Peter 1:1). They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for
immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Master and Lord. Jude 1:4 Here Jesus
is called “our only Master” and “Lord” (Kyrios). This elevates Christ above all creation
because YHWH is Master and Lord of all believers. Jesus must be YHWH.
Revelation 5:8-14. JESUS RECEIVES THE SAME EXACT HONOR THAT GOD
DOES which would be sheer idolatry if he were nothing more than a
creature, no matter how highly exalted a creature he may be. Revelation
22:6 it is the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets who sent his angel.
So it is God Almighty who was the one to send the angel. However, in verse
16 of the same chapter it is Jesus who sends the angel! The angel said to me,
"These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the
prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.
(Revelation 22:6). I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the
churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star
(Revelation 22:16).
"Thus the Lord [Yehovah] used to speak to Moses face to face as man speaks to his
friend" (Ex 33:11). 70 ELDERS OF ISRAEL ALSO SAW YEHOVAH AND DID NOT
DIE: "Then Moses and Aaron...and 70 elders.. saw the God of Israel...they beheld God,
and ate and drank" (Ex 24:9-11). The being that Moses and the seventy elders of Israel
saw and spoke with, the same being that brought Israel out of bondage "For they drank
from the supernatural Rock which followed them, and the Rock was Christ" (1Cor 10:4).
Moses entered the cloud of glory and spoke with the Lord on Sinai Ex 24:16-18. Moses
asked the Lord to "show me Your glory" (a request He granted: And Yehovah
answered him saying: you cannot see my face; for man shall not see me and live … I will
cover you with my hand until I have passed by; then I will take away my hand, and you
shall see my back; but my face shall not be seen. (Ex 33:18-23). We also find in Numbers
12:6-8 "And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD
will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. My
servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth
to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD
shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"
Unlike any other servant of the Lord, Moses spoke with Him "face to face" Deut 34:10.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ABOVE SCRIPTURES, GOD ALMIGHTY WAS
SEEN; BUT IT WAS NOT GOD THE FATHER. THE OT SEEN GOD IS NOT
YEHOVAH FATHER, WHO CAN BE SEEN ONLY THROUGH JESUS. JESUS
SAID THAT NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN THE FATHER Jn 6:46. Yet, God
Almighty was seen Ex 6:2-3. AND GOD CAN NEVER BE SEEN. HENCE IN OT
PEOPLE SEE AND HEAR JEHOVAH SON. THE HOLY SPIRIT APPEARS AS
A FLAME OR WIND BUT NEVER IN ANY HUMAN FORM. THEREFORE,
WHEN WE REALIZE THAT GOD WAS SEEN IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, IT
WAS NOT THE FATHER OR THE HOLY SPIRIT. HENCE THIS WAS OUR
LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, APPEARING IN PRE-INCARNATE
CHRISTOPHANY. HENCE WHENEVER GOD IS SEEN IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT, IT IS THE PRE-INCARNATE CHRIST. Moses was seeing the
Word before it was made flesh or became flesh. CONSIDER THESE VERSES: Jn 1:1
became flesh and dwelt among us. FROM THEN ON, WHENEVER JOHN THE
APOSTLE REFERS TO "GOD" HE IS REFERRING TO THE FATHER, BECAUSE THE
WORD HAD BECOME INCARNATE IN THE MAN JESUS, AS SON AND HENCE
NEEDS THE REFERENCE POINT GOD THE FATHER, PROVING THAT FATHER IS
ALSO THE MANIFESTATION OF GOD. EVEN THOUGH FATHER IS ADDRESSED AS
GOD PROPER, STILL THAT GOD PROPER IS PART OF TRINITY, WITHIN TRINITY.
USAGE OF LORD
OT JEHOVAH IS THE NT LORD. THE WORD "JEHOVAH" AND THE WORD
"LORD" IN THE NEW TESTAMENT OF THE NEW WORLD TRANSLATION
IS THE SAME GREEK WORD "KURIOS. A distinct proof that Christ is Jehovah is
to be seen in the New Testament title of Lord which is applied to Him. YEHOWAH is a
Hebrew term which is not brought forward into the New Testament. Its equivalent is the
Greek term KURIOS (LORD), which title is also applied to the Father and the Spirit. It is
a justified to treat the name YEHOWAH of the Old Testament as the same as the New
Testament name LORD (KURIOS). Because that is the natural meaning of many exalted
declarations: ‘Lord of all’ (Acts 10:36). ‘Lord over all’ (Rom 10:12), ‘Lord of glory’ (1 Cor
2:8), and ‘King of Kings, and Lord of Lords’ (Rev 17:14; 19:16). In light of this it may
be said that someday all shall confess that Jesus is LORD Phil 2:11. Hence
YEHOVAH JESUS.
