IS JESUS JEHOVAH?


JEHOVAH - LORD - YHVH - יהוה

GOD IS CALLED BY THE NAME JEHOVAH (HEBREW ALL CAPS) 4 TIMES:

Exodus 6:2-3 - And God (Elohiym) spoke unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD (Yehovah):  and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty (El Shaddai), but by My name JEHOVAH (Yehovah) was I not known to them.

Psalm 83:18 - That men may know that You, whose name alone is JEHOVAH (Yehovah), are the most high over all the earth.

Isaiah 12:2 - Behold, God (El) is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD (Yah) JEHOVAH (Yehovah) is my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation.

Isaiah 26:4 - Trust you in the LORD (Yehovah) forever:  for in the LORD (Yah) JEHOVAH (Yehovah) is everlasting strength....

GOD IS CALLED "LORD" (HEBREW ALL CAPS) 6510 TIMES!  THE SEPTUAGINT, THE GREEK OLD TESTAMENT TRANSLATION HAS THE WORD KURIOS, THE SAME WORD THAT THE NEW TESTAMENT CALLS JESUS (LORD) 735 TIMES!


IS JESUS JEHOVAH IN THE OLD TESTAMENT?

  1. In Zechariah 12 JEHOVAH is speaking (vv. 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 (compare John 19:37 and Revelation 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: (Isaiah 44:6 and see Isaiah 41:4; 48:11-12). Who is declared to be "the first and the last" on the pages of the New Testament (see Revelation 1:8, 11, 17, 18; 22:13)?
     
  3. In Isaiah 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 (referring in the context to Christ)" – John 12:41.
     
  4. In Psalm 23:1 David declared that JEHOVAH is the Great Shepherd of the Sheep. According to the New Testament, Who is the Great Shepherd of the Sheep (John 10:11, 14: Hebrews 13:20)? Also, the Old Testament repeatedly refers to Jehovah as Israel's ROCK (Deuteronomy 32:3, 4, 18; Psalm 18:2; Psalm 62:1-2; etc.). The New Testament clearly identifies this ROCK as Christ (1 Corinthians 10:4)!
     
  5. In Exodus 3:14-15 we learn that JEHOVAH is the great "I AM." According to the Gospel of John, Who is the great "I AM" (see John 6:35; 8:12; 8:24; 8:58; 10:9; 10:11; 11:25; 14:6; 18:5-6)?
     
  6. In Isaiah 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, Who is the ONLY SAVIOUR (Acts 4:10-12)?
     
  7. In Isaiah 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 Isaiah 45:21-23 JEHOVAH says, "that unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear." In Philippians 2:9-11 this passage in Isaiah is applied to Christ, the One before Whom all shall someday bow!
     
  9. In Isaiah 24:23 and Zephaniah 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. What does the New Testament tell us about the identity of this future, millennial King (Revelation 19:11-16; 20:4, 6)?
     
  10. In Isaiah 40:3 we learn that John the Baptist was to prepare the way for the coming of Jehovah. In Mark 1:1-3 the same passage is applied to Christ (John the Baptist prepared the way for Christ).
     
  11. In Isaiah 8:13-14 prophetically states that JEHOVAH will be "for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence." In 1 Peter 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. Who is the LORD (Jehovah) upon whose Name sinners should call upon.
JEHOVAH WITNESSES CLAIM THERE IS BUT ONE GOD, AND THEY ARE RIGHT.  HE IS THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT ACCORDING TO 1 JOHN 5:7 WHICH SAYS:  "FOR THERE ARE THREE THAT BEAR RECORD IN HEAVEN, THE FATHER, THE WORD, AND THE HOLY GHOST:  AND THESE THREE ARE ONE!
 
ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR TODAY!
TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
