Who is Jehovah?
WHO IS THE ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH SEEN BY ISAIAH?
1 Timothy 6:16 tells us, “who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.”
John 1:18 says, “No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father’s side, has made him known.”
John 5:37 confirms, “…You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,” According to the above verses no one has ever seen God the Father nor heard His voice and no one can ever see Him in future. Now, keeping this in mind, let us look at Isaiah 6:1 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord (Jehovah) seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple.”
And _Isaiah 6:5 states, “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”
Isaiah 6.8 states, “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
Now reiterating the above-mentioned verses (1 Timothy 6:16, John 1:18, and John 5:37) we reach to conclusion that no one had ever seen God the Father and no one can ever see Him. Then the question arises as to whom did Isaiah, the prophet see and hear?
John 12:41 reveals, “Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him (Jesus).”
From the above verses and their explanation, we draw and conclude that Jehovah is not just the Father’s name but the name of the Triune God also.
In John 14:23 Jesus replied, “….and we will come to him and make our home with him.” It is worth noticing that the words ‘we’ and ‘our’ clearly denote the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That is why Paul states in Philippians 2:11, “and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Jehovah), to the glory of God the Father.”
Now the question arises how is it that when we declare Jesus is Lord (Jehovah) then the glory goes to the Father? The answer to this is very simple that as the name ‘Jehovah’ (the Lord) is not just the name of ‘the Father’, but also of ‘the Son’ and ‘the Holy Spirit’. That is why the Scripture tells us about the declaration of Jesus in John 5:43 “I have come in my Father’s name…”
So, what is that name?….
