The Almighty God Jesus ! Jesus Christ is Yahweh! It can be determined by comparing the following Old Testament verses with the corresponding New Testament verses. Isaiah 40:3 speaks about preparing the way for the LORD. When we compare this verse with Mark 1:3 we see that Jesus is the LORD who had the way prepared for him by John the Baptist. In Joel 2:32a it says that whoever calls upon the Name of the LORD will be saved. This verse is quoted by Peter in Acts 2:21, and by Paul inRomans 10:13. Both apostles are clearly referring to Jesus as the LORD. In Isaiah 6:1-10 we read about the marvelous vision that Isaiah had revealing the glory of the LORD. John tells us in John 12:40-41 that this vision revealed the glory of Jesus. In Isaiah 44:6, the LORD (Yahweh) refers to himself as “the First and the Last”. In Revelation 1:8 and 17, Jesus similarly refers to himself as “the Alpha and the Omega” and “the First and the Last”. In Zechariah 12:10 the LORD is speaking and says that, “they will look on Me whom they have pierced.”[4] This is obviously Jesus speaking (Psalm 22:16; John 19:34). This passage from Zechariah appears again in Revelation 1:7b and is clearly about Jesus Christ. Jesus,(along with the Father and the Holy Spirit) Jesus is eternal, having all the qualities and attributes of God. Even on earth, in human form, Jesus was the image of the invisible God, and the exact representation of God’s nature (Colossians 1:15; Hebrews 1:3). Jesus is not some sort of demigod; rather, the fullness of deity (“God-ness”) dwells in him in bodily form (Colossians 2:9). Jesus Christ, born of the virgin Mary, was fully man and fully God, having both a human and divine nature at the same time. As eternal God, Jesus Christ existed before he came to earth as a human baby. He existed before the creation of the earth. In fact, Jesus was instrumental in its creation. The Bible says that all things were created by Him, and that nothing was made without Him (John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16-17;Hebrews 1:2). Jesus is not a created being himself. The Scriptures teach us that there is only one God and we are commanded that we should worship no other gods (Exodus 20:3). From Scripture we can see that Jesus Christ is worshipped eternally, further proving his deity and place in the Godhead (Philippians 2:10-11; Revelation 5:9-14). Amen Glory to The Almighty God Jesus !
