JESUS IS JEHOVAH

1. In Zech.12, Jehovah is speaking (v. 1, 4). In verse 10 Jehovah says, "They shall look upon ME whom they have pierced." This can refer to no one other than Christ (Jn.19:37; Rev. 1:7).
    
2. The Jehovah of the Old Testament declares Himself to be the First and the Last: "Thus saith Jehovah the King of Israel and his redeemer the Jehovah of hosts; I am the first and I am the last; and beside me there is no God: (Isa. 41:4; 44:6; 48:11-12). Jesus is declared to be "the first and the last" on the pages of the New Testament (Rev. 1:8, 11, 17, 18; 22:13)!
     
3. In Isa. 6:5, the prophet said, "Mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD (Jehovah) of hosts." Isaiah saw JEHOVAH! The Apostle John referred to this same event and made it very clear that the Person whom Isaiah saw was actually Jesus Christ: "These things said Esaias [Isaiah], when he saw His [Christ’s] glory, and spake of Him (Jn. 12:41).
    
4. In Ps. 23:1, David declared that Jehovah is the Great Shepherd of the Sheep. According to the New Testament, it is Jesus who is the Great Shepherd of the Sheep (Jn. 10:11, 14: Heb. 13:20). Also, the Old Testament repeatedly refers to Jehovah as Israel's ROCK (Deut. 32:3, 4, 18; Ps. 18:2; 62:1-2; etc.). The New Testament clearly identifies this ROCK as Christ (1 Cor. 10:4)!
    
5. In Ex. 3:14-15, we learn that JEHOVAH is the great "I AM." According to the Gospel of John, Jesus is the great "I AM" (Jn. 6:35; 8:12; 8:24; 8:58; 10:9; 10:11; 11:25; 14:6; 18:5-6).
     
6. In Isa. 43:10-11 and 45:21, JEHOVAH declares Himself to be the ONLY SAVIOUR. There is no other Saviour besides Him! According to the New Testament, Jesus is declared to be the ONLY SAVIOUR (Acts 4:10-12)?
    
7. In Isa. 45:21-22, JEHOVAH says, "Look unto ME and be ye saved...there is none else." In John 3:14-16 we are told to look unto the crucified One to be saved!
    
8. In Isa. 45:21-23, JEHOVAH says, "that unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear." In Phil. 2:9-11, this passage in Isaiah is applied to Christ, the One before Whom all shall someday bow!
    
9. In Isa. 24:23 and Zeph. 3:15-17, we learn that JEHOVAH Himself will reign in Jerusalem during the coming kingdom age and will be in the midst of His people. The New Testament identifies Jesus as the future millennial King (Rev. 19:11-16; 20:4,6).
     
10. In Isa. 40:3, we learn that there would be one who would prepare the way for the coming of Jehovah. In Mk. 1:1-3, John the Baptist served to prepare for Christ.
      
11. Isa. 8:13-14 prophetically states that JEHOVAH will be "for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence." In 1 Pet. 2:7-8, these verses in Isaiah are applied to Jesus Christ.
     
12. Compare Joel 2:32 with Acts 2:21, 36 and Romans 10:9, 13. Jesus is the LORD (Jehovah) upon whose Name sinners should call.
