JW's When Isaiah saw Jesus, what name did he know Him as?

Question

:
John 12:39-41
Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

The full context of John 12 refers to Jesus, where in Isaiah did he say this and what did he call Him when he saw His Glory?

Answer 1

Isaiah would have recognized Jesus as the as-yet-unnamed "messiah", or "christ" there in vision alongside the throne of Jehovah God. It seems possible that Isaiah believed his name to be "Immanuel":
(Isaiah 7:14) Jehovah himself will give you men a sign: Look! The maiden herself will actually become pregnant, and she is giving birth to a son, and she will certainly call his name Immanuel.

Of course, both the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures repeatedly refer to Almighty Jehovah God (the Father) on his heavenly throne with Jesus Christ (the Son) at his right hand. Obviously that is why Jehovah says at Isaiah 6:8... "Who shall I send, and who will go for us?"

(Isaiah 6:1,8-10) I, however, got to see Jehovah, sitting on a throne lofty and lifted up... 8 And I began to hear the voice of Jehovah saying: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us [me and my son Jesus]?”

(Psalm 110:1) The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord [the Christ] is: “Sit at my right hand

(Luke 20:41-44) [Jesus] said to them: “How is it they say that the Christ is David's son? For David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘Jehovah said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand... David, therefore, calls [the Christ] ‘Lord’

(Acts 7:56) Look! I behold the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at God’s right hand.

(Romans 8:34) Christ Jesus is the one who died, yes, rather the one who was raised up from the dead, who is on the right hand of God

(Ephesians 1:20) [Jehovah God] has operated in the case of the Christ when he raised him up from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places

(Colossians 3:1) Go on seeking the things above, where the Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

(Hebrews 12:2) Look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus. ...he endured a torture stake, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

(1 Peter 3:21,22) Jesus Christ. He is at God’s right hand, for he went his way to heaven. . .


Here are the two passages mentioned in the question (from John chapter 12 and Isaiah chapter 6), both discussing the vision to the prophet Isaiah of Jehovah God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son. As was mentioned, this vision is a recurring theme in the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures (the so-called "Old" and "New" Testaments).

(John 12:37-41) But although he had performed so many signs before them, they were not putting faith in him, 38 so that the word of Isaiah the prophet was fulfilled which he said: “Jehovah, who has put faith in the thing heard by us? And as for the arm of Jehovah, to whom has it been revealed?” 39 The reason why they were not able to believe is that again Isaiah said: 40 “He has blinded their eyes and he has made their hearts hard, that they should not see with their eyes and get the thought with their hearts and turn around and I should heal them.” 41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and he spoke about him.

(Isaiah 6:1,8-10) I, however, got to see Jehovah, sitting on a throne lofty and lifted up... 8 And I began to hear the voice of Jehovah saying: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us [me and my son Jesus]?” And I proceeded to say: “Here I am! Send me.” 9 And he went on to say: “Go, and you must say to this people, ‘Hear again and again, O men, but do not understand; and see again and again, but do not get any knowledge.’ 10 Make the heart of this people unreceptive, and make their very ears unresponsive, and paste their very eyes together, that they may not see with their eyes and with their ears they may not hear, and that their own heart may not understand and that they may not actually turn back and get healing for themselves.”
