ISAIAH 41 (Jehovah is the Lord Jesus Christ!!)

ISAIAH 42 (Jehovah is the Lord Jesus Christ!!)
Isa 42:6 I the LORD (Jehovah) have called thee in righteousness, and ……..To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. I am the LORD: that is My name: and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images.

ISAIAH 43 (Jehovah is the Lord Jesus Christ!!)
Isa 43:3 For I am the LORD (Jehovah) thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee…..who is this Jehovah who is the Saviour of Israel revealed in the New Testament……Gal 6:15-16 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.



NOW HERE IS THE FUN BIT

Isa 43:10-11 Ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, and My servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He: before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside Me there is no Saviour.

Who is Jehovah? Jehovah is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ ! ! ! ! From Isaiah 40-43, it is easy to establish that Jehovah is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.

ISAIAH 44 (Jehovah is the Lord Jesus Christ!!)
Isa 44:6-48 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside Me there is no God…. Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even My witnesses. Is there a God beside Me? yea, there is no God; I know not any….

Who is the Jehovah Witnesses witnessing for?? Of course, for Jehovah, who is the first and the last… This Person, Jehovah is revealed in the New Testament (Rev 1:8) where the Lord Jesus Christ is…. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, ……….

ISAIAH 45 (Jehovah is the Lord Jesus Christ!!)
Isa 45:22-23 Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I (ie Jehovah) am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by Myself, the word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

Who is Jehovah, that ……….. unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear ? In the New Testament… Phil 2:10-11 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Rom 14:9-11 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that He might be Lord both of the dead and living. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

Answer 1

They are afraid of you, you have backed them up, your one person who they do not want to take on.

Answer 2

Are Jehovah and Jesus the ones meant at Proverbs 30:4, which asks: “What is his name and what the name of his son?”

This verse makes it evident how limited man is compared to the Most High. Its rhetorical questions could be asked about any man, but these questions should lead a reasoning person to the Creator.

The writer Agur asked: “Who has ascended to heaven that he may descend? Who has gathered the wind in the hollow of both hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in a mantle? Who has made all the ends of the earth to rise? What is his name and what the name of his son, in case you know?”—Proverbs 30:1, 4.

No imperfect human has gone up to heaven and come back omniscient; nor has any human the ability to control the wind, the seas, or the geological forces shaping the earth. In effect, then, Agur asked: ‘Do you know the name or family line of any man who has done these things?’ We must answer no.—Compare Job 38:1–42:3; Isaiah 40:12-14; Jeremiah 23:18; 1 Corinthians 2:16.

Thus, we have to look outside the human sphere to find one who has the superhuman power to control natural forces. We are not, though, limited to learning about him by observing his accomplishments. (Romans 1:20) This is because he has, as it were, descended with information about himself and his dealings. He has provided specific information. He did this, for example, when he ‘descended’ to give the Law to Moses on Mount Sinai. (Exodus 19:20; Hebrews 2:2) He has also helped his servants to appreciate his meaningful name, Jehovah. (Exodus 3:13, 14; 6:3) Later, he identified his Son, who was named Jesus and who literally descended from heaven with additional information about the Creator.—John 1:1-3, 14, 18.

This should help all of us to reach certain conclusions: Like Agur, we cannot from our own resources gain true wisdom. (Proverbs 30:2, 3) And we cannot name any human who has superlative powers or knowledge. Hence, we should humbly look to the One who is able to provide the wisdom we need. This is the Most Holy One, whose name we can know and whose Son has died so that we might be ransomed and gain everlasting life.—Matthew 20:28.

May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ grant you wisdom.

Answer 3

Verses 2-3. Agur said, "Surely I am more stupid than any man, and do not have the understanding of a man. I neither learned wisdom nor have knowledge of the Holy One." (NKJV)

The author is stressing His ignorance in light of the Holy One by exaggeration, claiming that he is more stupid than any man, and then goes on to say that he does not even have the understanding of a human being.

He is trying to show how great God is, and how insignificant our understanding of Him is. Compared to God all of us are "stupid." It is at this point that the author stated the verse in question. Agur asked several rhetorical questions:

1. Who has ascended or descended into heaven?
2. Who has gathered the wind in his fists?
3. Who has wrapped up the waters in their cloak?
4. Who has established the ends of the earth?

Seeing that these rhetorical questions were asked immediately after highlighting man's ignorance in lieu of God's wisdom, the expected answer is negative, "Not man!"

What man has ascended or descended into heaven? There is no man, thus highlighting man's insignificance in light of the Holy One. Who has gathered the wind in his fists?

There is no man, again highlighting man's insignificance in light of the Holy One. The same can be said of wrapping up the waters in one's cloak and establishing the ends of the earth. There is no man who can do such, only God.

Only after this series of rhetorical questions does the author ask his readers to tell him who has done these things. The author is not asking what divine being has done these things, but what man has done these things.

Essentially he was asking, "If you know a man who has done these things, tell me his name and the name of his son."

The whole idea of giving the name of the individual and the name of his son serves to identify the man who did these things.

It must be remembered that in Biblical times people did not have last names to distinguish themselves from others with the same name. To name one's son was a further mark of identification, clarifying which individual is being named.

Obviously no man did these things, thus neither he nor his son could be identified. Seeing that no man could be identified (and thus no man's son) it demonstrated that only God could do these things, and man was nothing in comparison to Him.

That was precisely the point the author was trying to stress to his readers. No man can do what God can do. He is so much greater than we are.

Answer 4

Not a JW. But I agree with Keiichi.

Take Care Everybody

Read verse 2-3!

Answer 5

1) What is His name? Jehovah
2) What is His Son's name? Jesus - Mat 3:16,17,

Jesus said at John 20:17 “‘I am ascending to my Father and YOUR Father and to my God and YOUR God.’” Notice Jesus has a God, whom he called “My God” and who is also his Father.

Jesus is called the Word, he is also the only Begotten Son of God.
He’s name can be Michael before he came to earth or even the name Jesus but never Jehovah.

Luke 2:21 -
21 Now when eight days came to the full for circumcising him, his name was also called Jesus, the name called by the angel BEFORE he was conceived in the womb.

In Heb 1:5 it states "You are my son; I, TODAY, I have become your father"?.

Jesus’ Father is Jehovah.
Luke 23:46
6 And Jesus called with a loud voice and said: “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit”

Jesus quoted Psalms 31:5 where it states “Into your hand I entrust my spirit” Who is his Father? The text continues “You have redeemed me, O Jehovah the God of truth.”


Is God composed of THREE PERSONS?

Gen 17:1 states “, then Jehovah appeared to A´bram and said to him: “I am God Almighty”

Now, please use your understanding,

Do you use the phrase “I am” for THREE persons or you only use it for ONE Person?
If God is composed of THREE persons, God should have said “WE ARE God” but you cannot find that it the Bible.

You never use the phrase “I am” for THREE Persons. I am is only used for one person.

JESUS said to the Father also in John 17:3, that the Father is the “ONLY True God”, this means there is one and only one person who is God, the Father. and this is confirmed in 1 Cor 8:5 where is states “6 there is actually to us one God the FATHER”.Notice the Father only. Notice also in John 17:3 Jesus excluded himself as the only true God. Instead of saying “We are the only true God” JESUS said “YOU (referring to the Father), and not US” as the only true God. Now are you against Jesus?

Now, if the Son is Jehovah, the Father is Jehovah and the holy spirit is Jehovah according to the Trinity doctrine, then these THREE PERSONS, are THREE Jehovah.

But the Bible says in Deut 6:4 Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is ONE Jehovah.

Notice in Deut 6:4 it used “IS” and only ONE person is involved. If there are three Jehovah then it should have used ARE for THREE persons.

There is ONLY ONE JEHOVAH, who is God Almighty.
