The name of God, too sacred to be uttered, abbreviated ( . . . . ) or written &#8220;YHWH&#8221; without vowel points. The tetragrammaton. Josh., Judges, Sam., and Kings use Jehovah almost exclusively. The love of God is conditioned upon His moral and spiritual attributes. (Dan. 9:14; Ps. 11:7; Lev. 19:2; Hab. 1:12). Note Deut. 6:4, 5 known to Jews as the Sh&#8217;ma uses both Jehovah and Elohim to indicate one God with a plurality of persons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JEHOVAH-JIREH: <\/strong> &#8220;The Lord will Provide.&#8221; Gen. 22:14.

Here is what the Scofield Study Bible Notes say:<\/p>\n<p>(1) In the intimations and explicit predictions of the O.T. (a) The theophanies intimate the appearance of God in human form, and His ministry thus to man (Gen. 16:7-13; 18:2-23. especially v. 17; 32. 28 with Hos 12:3-5; Ex. 3:2-14). (b) The Messiah is expressly declared to be the Son of God (Psa. 2:2-9), and God (Psa. 45:6-7 with Heb. 1:8-9; Ps 110. with Matt. 22:44; Acts 2:34 and Heb 1:13; Ps 110:4 with Heb. 5:6; Heb 6 | Heb 20:7 Heb 17-21; and Zech. 6:13). (c) His virgin birth was foretold as the means through which God could be &#8220;Immanuel,&#8221; God with us (Is 7:13, 14 with Mat 1:22-23). (d) The Messiah is expressly invested with the divine names (Isa. 9:6, 7). (e) In a prophecy of His death He is called Jehovah&#8217;s &#8220;fellow&#8221; (Zech. 13:7 with Mat 26:31). (f) His eternal being is declared (Mic. 5:2 with Mat 2:6; John 7:42).<\/p>\n<p>(2) Christ Himself affirmed His deity. (a) He applied to Himself the Jeho-vistic I AM. (The pronoun &#8220;he&#8221; is not in the Greek; cf. John 8:24; John 8:56-58. The Jews correctly understood this to be our Lord&#8217;s claim to full deity [v. 59]. See, also, John 10:33; 18:4-6, where, also &#8220;he&#8221; is not in the original.) (b) He claimed to be the Adonai of the O.T. (Mat 22:42-45. See Gen. 15:2, note). (c) He asserted His identity with the Father (Mat 28:19; Mk. 14:62; John 10:30; that the Jews so understood Him is shown by vs. 31, 32; John 14:8, 9; 17. 5). (d) He exercised the chief prerogative of God (Mk. 2:5-7; Lk. 7:48-50). (e) He asserted omnipresence (Matt 18:20; John 3:13); omniscience (John 11:11-14, when Jesus was fifty miles away; Mk. 11:6-8); omnipotence (Matt 28:18; Lk. 7:14; John 5:21-23; 6. is); mastery over nature, and creative power (Lk. 9:16. 17; John 2:9, 10:28). (f) He received and approved human worship (Matt 14:33; 28: 9, John 20: 28, 29).<\/p>\n<p>(3) The N.T. writers ascribe divine titles to Christ (John 1:1; 20. 28; Acts 20:28; Rom. 1:4; 9:5; 2 Thess. 1:12; 1 Tim. 3:16; Tit. 2:23; Heb. 1:8; 1 John 5:20).<\/p>\n<p>(4) The N.T. writers ascribe divine perfections and attributes to Christ (e.g. Matt 11:28; 18:20, 28:20; John 1:2, 2:23-25; 3:13; 5:17; 21:17; Heb. 1:3, 11, 12 with Heb. 13:8; Rev. 1:8,17,18; 2:23; 11. 17; 22:13).<\/p>\n<p>(5) The N.T. writers ascribe divine works to Christ (John 1:3. 16:17, Col. 1:16, 17; Heb. 1:3).<\/p>\n<p>(6) The N.T. writers teach that supreme worship should be paid to Christ (Acts 7:59, 60; 1 Cor. 1:2; 2 Cor. 13:14, Phil. 2:9, 10; Heb. 1:6; Rev. 1:5, 6; 5. 12, 13).<\/p>\n<p>(7) The holiness and resurrection of Christ prove His deity (John 8:46; Rom. 1:4).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Philippians 2<\/strong> is the great Chapter on the kenosis or self-emptying of the Lord Jesus Christ when He became a man. His equality with the Father as the Son of God is stated here.<\/p>\n<p>Note also John 5:18 &#8220;This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>ALPHA AND OMEGA:<\/strong> The First and the Last, The Beginning and The End (Rev. 1).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to scriptures, who raised Jesus from the dead?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,8],"tags":[18],"class_list":["post-4324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-misc","category-thoughts","tag-trinity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4324\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
