Jehovah The Savior

Many places in the Bible specifically mention Jesus as Jehovah, which means: “Jehovah is the Savior.”

1/ John the Baptist would prepare the way of Jehovah: Isa.40:3 - “Prepare ye the way of the Lord...” [“Jehovah,” or “the existing One”].

And as we can see; John the Baptist did prepare the way for the 1st coming of Jesus:

Mat.3:1-3, Luke 1:76 “In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying: ‘Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ For this is he that was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying: ‘The voice of one crying in the wilderness - prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.’” And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways.’”

2/ Isaiah prophesied that Jehovah would be a Stone of stumbling, and a Rock of defense.
Isa.8:13-14, 28:16. (See also Ps.118:22). In Luke 20:17-18, Jesus applies this prophecy to Himself.

3/ Isa.44:6, and 48:12 refer to Jehovah as “the first and the last,” but, the book of Revelation applies this to the Son. Rev.1:17-18 tells us that Jesus is “the first and the last, I am He that liveth and was dead...” God the Father was never dead was He?

4/ Isa.40:10 tells us that Jehovah will come, and “His reward is with Him.” In Rev.22;12, Jesus applies this to Himself when He says: “And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with Me...”

5/ Speaking of Jehovah, the prophet Isaiah says: “I am God, and there is none else,” and “that unto me shall every knee bow, and every tongue shall swear.” (Isa.45:22-23).

Atleast twice in His writings the divinely inspired Apostle Paul applies this prophecy to Jesus: Rom.14:10-12, Phil.2:10-11.

6/ Jehovah is the Judge. (Joel 3:12). It is Jesus that will execute judgment: Mat.25:31-32, Jo.5:27).

7/ Jehovah will raise the dead: (1 Sam.2:6). It is made clear that CHRIST HIMSELF will call the dead from their graves. (Jo.11:25).

NOTE: Jesus was the great “I Am,” of the Old Testament. When Moses asked for His name, Jesus said: “I Am that I Am...Thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent Me unto you.” (Ex.3:14).
