Jesus Christ is a Jehovah’s Witness?

We can first look at the following texts ([] = Added):-



Isaiah 43:10 "YOU [The Israelites nation] are my witnesses," is the utterance of Jehovah, "even my servant [The Israelites nation collectively] whom I have chosen, in order that YOU may know and have faith in me, and that YOU may understand that I am the same One.

Isaiah 43:12 "I myself have told forth and have saved and have caused [it] to be heard, when there was among YOU no strange [god]. So YOU [The Israelites nation] are my witnesses," is the utterance of Jehovah, "and I am God..


Jesus Christ was a member of the the Israelite nation whom God called “my witnesses” and as we will see The Almighty God of the Israelites is called Jehovah, thus making the Israelites nation ‘Jehovah's Witness’ according to the above texts (and the following) from The Holy Bible. Of Jesus being a JW we can glen support form the Greek Texts (N.T.):-

Revelation 1:5 "Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness."

Revelation 3:14 “And to the angel of the congregation in Laodicea write: These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God,”

So Jesus was a witness to what? The following words of Jesus are a help to find out.

John 17:1 “Jesus spoke these things, and, raising his eyes to heaven, he said: “Father, the hour has come; glorify your son, that your son may glorify you,”

John 17:3 “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.


“The Father” is a God who has a name that will be made known:-


John 17:6““I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have observed your word.


John 17:26““And I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.”“


Is The “Father” name God? Well, what else did Jesus have to say on this matter, we can go to the first phrase from the ‘Lord’s Prayer’:-


Matthew 6:9 ““‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified (“Hallowed” KJV).””

And here:-

Matthew 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit.”


What is God The Father’s Personal Name?

Psalm 83:18“That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.” See the K.J.V.

and

Exodus 3:15 ““This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel,* ‘Jehovah the God of YOUR forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to YOU.’ This is my name to time indefinite (“for ever” K.J.V.; “forever” N.I.V.), and this is the memorial of me to generation after generation.
*Including Jesus as an Israelite and a descendant of Israel.

Thus Jesus manifested God’s personal name and brought the Greatest honor to it by Witnessing about it and the person who bears that Name, Almighty God Jehovah, His Creator/Father and God.

As Jesus made known God’s personal name –Jehovah- he did as his Father’s means of glorifying it, as an obedient son:-

John 12:28
“Father, glorify your name.” Therefore a voice came out of heaven: “I both glorified [it] and will glorify [it] again.””

See Matt. 6:

Notice Jesus said “YOUR NAME” which is Jehovah (Latinised form) or Yahweh (Hebraic form), they both obviously meant as recorded in the Hebrew Scriptures (O.T.), as the Christian Greek Scriptures (N.T.) had not at that time been penned”

This does not mean that he was talking about the Title “The LORD” which is not a name, but as recorded at:-

Psalm 83:18
“That people may know that you, whose name is JEHOVAH, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.”

So here we see calling The Father “Jehovah” has His personal blessing as it did with Jesus Christ.

Agreed. So many were Witnesses of Jehovah that just as John stated about all the things that Jesus did while on earth there would not be enough scrolls to write it all down, so the great cloud of Witnesses that have ever lived (see Hebrews 11) and what they did to be declared `faithful` could not be contained in all the books written.
