Actually, this question is based on a false premise. While the divine name appears almost 7000 times in the Hebrew Scriptures (the so-called "Old Testamant"), it seems clear that superstitious translators purposely removed it from the Christian Greek Scriptures (the "New Testament").
Yet, we know that Jesus read aloud from the OT, and he would have read the verses as they had been written. Note this passage:
(Luke 4:16-21) . . .he came to Naz´a·reth, where he had been reared; and, according to his custom on the sabbath day, he entered into the synagogue, and he stood up to read. 17 So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18 “Jehovah’s spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor, he sent me forth to preach a release to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away with a release, 19 to preach Jehovah’s acceptable year.” 20 With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed upon him. 21 Then he started to say to them: “Today this scripture that YOU just heard is fulfilled.”
(Isaiah 61:1-2) The spirit of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah is upon me, for the reason that Jehovah has anointed me to tell good news to the meek ones. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to those taken captive and the wide opening of the eyes even to the prisoners; 2 to proclaim the year of goodwill on the part of Jehovah

Luke 1:32 says Jesus is the Son of the Most High (or, highest)
Psalm 83:18 in the older KJV identifies the Most High as being Jehovah.

you're misunderstanding it. Jehovah is a mispronunciation/misspelling of Y-H-W-H, believed to be pronunced like YAHWEH. It has been a long time since i've seen "jehovah" in a bible.YHWH is a hebrew word, and Jesus spoke greek, he read hebrew, but at that time, everyone spoke greek.
in the old testament, YHWH and "the one true God" and "LORD" are used interchangebly, they are all names of God. there is no one name that is better than the other.
The way I see it, Jesus called his father "father" just as any child does, and you don't see him calling him Jehovah because A) it's not a real word. B) the real word, YHWH, is hebrew, a language he didn't speak. and C) God was/is his father, so that's what he calls him!!!

When Satan was tempting Jesus, Jesus prayed to the Father. When Jesus was on the cross, he prayed to the Father. Jesus also said no one comes to the Father except through me. Jehovah is one of the names of God. It is not Jesus. Otherwise the scriptures would have called him that. The scriptures are very clear about this.

I believe it. See Mark 1:11 where God's voice was heard saying: "You are my Son, the beloved; I have approved you."
At John 17:3, Jesus calls his Father the ONLY true God.
You don't think Jehovah is also the Father of Jesus? At Ps. 83:18, it says that Jehovah is the Most High. When Gabriel was telling Mary about her upcoming childbirth, he mentioned that her child would be called SON of the Most High. (Luke 1:32) Jehovah is Jesus' Father.

No, Jesus supplies eternal life, via his ransom sacrifice, in basic terms as a father is a life giver. besides the shown fact that, Jesus' Father is his God, as he's ours. That Jesus replaced into created is obviously stated 2 circumstances interior the Bible, one is in Colossians a million:15, and that's the different time: (Revelation 3:14) “And to the angel of the congregation in la·o·di·ce?a write: those are the flaws that the Amen says, the committed and genuine witness, the initiating of the introduction with the help of God,..." it relatively is obvious that this scripture does not consult with Jehovah, when you consider that he's in no way referred to as Prince of Peace or the different prince.

Isa 63:16 calls Jehovah "Our Father". It states ". 16 For you are our Father; although Abraham himself may not have known us and Israel himself may not recognize us, you, O Jehovah, are our Father. Our Repurchaser of long ago is your name."
This reminds us of the prayer that Jesus taught us, in Mat 6:9 "Our Father in the heavens".
Jesus also stated “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit.” Who is the Father? Jesus quoted Psalms 31:5. It is obvious in this text, that Jehovah, is the Father only.
Psalms 31:5 –
5 Into your hand I entrust my spirit.
You have redeemed me, O Jehovah the God of truth.
The phrase “our Father” , a term for the heavenly Father, is not used at all to address Jesus but to the Father only.
Rom 1:7 called the Father “God our Father” not Fathers.
Rom 15:6 called “God” ALSO/EVEN the “Father” of our Lord Jesus
Eph 1:7 – called the God of our Lord Jesus, The Father of glory.
Jehovah and Jesus are two different persons, Jehovah is "Our Father", and Jesus is the Son.

I believe Jahovah is Jesus in the old testiment and the father is the Heavenly Father. Heavenly Father works through Jesus because we can only return to the father through Jesus.
