Who is the Good Shepherd?
Considering even further brother,

Think about what is going to the "uttermost parts of the earth" and "all the ends of the earth" even now...
Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. Matthew 26:31

And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. Mark 14:27

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Hebrews 13:20

For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. 1 Peter 2:25

And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 1 Peter 5:4

As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. John 10:15
Who is it that is coming to gather all of His Sheep from the four corners of the earth, from the four winds of heaven and shall separate the sheep from the goats?
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 24:31

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats: Matthew 25:32

And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Matthew 25:33

And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. Mark 13:27
We are the sheep of His pasture... and we know His voice... He also calleth those of His sheep to "come out of her, my people"... The Shepherd calls you... do you belong to Him?
"seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us" [Acts 17:27;p], for He hath said, "lo, I am with you alway" [Matthew 28:20;p]]

Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: Isaiah 42:5

And when he had said this, he breathed on [them], and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: John 20:22

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: John 10:27
[see again Psalms 95, for whose voice to follow? “Follow me...” [Matthew 9:9, 16:24, 19:21; Mark 2:14, “his disciples follow him” 6:1, 8:34, 10:21, Luke 5:27, 9:23,59, 18:22; John 1:43, 10:27, 12:26, 13:36, 21:19, “follow thou me” 21:22; “follow the Lamb” Revelation 14:4]]
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.John 10:3

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. John 10:4 [“...Every one that is of the truth heareth my voiceJohn 18:37]
Jesus is no hireling... but He is the Good and Great Shepherd of the Sheep...

If any want to know more of the Truth, and any want to heed the call of Jehovah God, know that it is Jesus Christ that calleth thee... do we hear Him, do we follow Him? For He is the Way, The Truth and the Life, that Good Shepherd...
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.Psalms 23:2

Who is the God with us?
God is with us because He was dwelling in Jesus.

2 Corinthinas 5:19
Look more closely brother, in that Jesus is the YHVH God with us, having descended to us and be one of us, without negating that the Father is in Him, and He in the Father {John 10:38, 14:10,11 &c}, yes from eternity {John 1; &c}:
The LORD of hosts [is]with us; the God of Jacob [is] our refuge. Selah. Psalms 46:7

The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our refuge. Selah. Psalms 46:11

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Matthew 1:23
...again “The LORD of Hosts”, this “God of Jacob”, even the “God with us” is Jesus.
And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I [am] the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I [am] with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake. Genesis 26:24

And, behold, I [am] with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done [that] which I have spoken to thee of. Genesis 28:15

And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. Genesis 31:3

I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up [again]: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes. Genesis 46:4

And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this [shall be] a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. Exodus 3:12

[compare also to “...I send you forth as sheep...”Matthew 10:16; “...I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes ...”Matthew 23:34; “...I send you forth as lambs...”Luke 10:3; “...so send I youJohn 20:21;“...I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you...” Philippians 2:19]

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deuteronomy 31:6

There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Joshua 1:5
Now, consider the New Testament usage of this...
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:20

For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city. Acts 18:10
Notice the context that Paul quotes from the OT and to whom he directly equates it with...
[Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5

So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.Hebrews 13:6

[see also
“Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.”Matthew 15:25]

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Hebrews 13:8
Paul, directly citing the Old Testament, in the context of "I am with thee", which is the LORD God, and he [Paul] equates with "Jesus Christ the same..."

Who raised Jesus from the Dead?
The Father did through His Spirit.
Brother, look again, for all three participated in unison:

GOD raised CHRIST JESUS, "The LORD our God [FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT, 3 persons] [is] one [Unity in Purpose] LORD":
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. Colossians 2:12

Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 1 Peter 1:21

And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. 1 Corinthians 6:14

Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. Acts 2:24

And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. Acts 3:15

God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. Acts 13:33

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Hebrews 13:20
So JESUS [GOD the SON] did:
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. John 2:19

No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. John 10:18
So GOD the FATHER did:
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places], Ephesians 1:20

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4

Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead; ) Galatians 1:1

And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. 1 Thessalonians 1:10
So GOD the HOLY SPIRIT did:
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Romans 8:11

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 1 Peter 3:18

Who is the Covenant Maker?
Jesus established the new covenant with His blood.
Brother notice that the only one to be able to confirm the Covenant is the very Maker of it:
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: - Jeremiah 31:31
(see also Jeremiah 31:33; Ezekiel 36:27; Hebrews 8:8,10, 10:16)

It was Jesus who made that Covenant and confirmed it by His own promise and blood (Daniel 9:27; Matthew 26:28; Mark 14:24).
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, Revelation 1:5

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1 Timothy 3:16

No one came on his own. Jesus was obedient to the will of God after His birth.
Brother, you have misunderstood the question, for read John 1:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

The same was in the beginning with God. John 1:2

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:3
Forwards and backwards, positive and negative [forever sealed] reveal that Christ Jesus is God, the Creator.
[That] was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. John 1:9

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. John 1:10

He came unto his own, and his own received him not. John 1:11
The very people He [Jesus, the True Light] took out for Himself as seen in the OT, a peculiar and chosen nation.
For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that [are] upon the face of the earth. Deuteronomy 7:6
It was He {Jesus, YHVH God the Son} that came unto His own, and He was in the World {even as John says again in 1 John 1}, and yet they [most] rejected Him.

YAHWEH is light and Jesus is the perfect reflection of that light. Jesus Himself say this as well.

1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
Brother, what you have declared by that passage is that Jesus is God, even YHVH the Son, for Jesus said of Himself, that He is the Light, and John stated that Jesus is the True Light that lights every man:
In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:4

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:5

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. John 1:6

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. John 1:7

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. John 1:8

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. John 1:9

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 8:2

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. John 9:5

Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. John 11:9

Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. John 12:35

While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them. John 12:36

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. John 12:46

For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. Psalms 18:28

[[A Psalm of David.]] The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalms 27:1

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. Psalms 36:9

And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day; Isaiah 10:17

The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Isaiah 60:19

Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. Isaiah 60:20

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. Ephesians 5:14 [Paul is quoting again the OT, wherein it is the LORD, YHVH that gives Light]

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. Revelation 21:33

How many Witnesses does the Bible say are needed to Testify?
The testimony of God is true.
That the testimony of God is True, is not the question brother, look again, for what does the Word of God declare for how many witnesses are required to testify of Truth?

There are 3 Eternal Witnesses.

Allow me to demonstrate...

According to scripture, how many Witnesses had Christ Jesus needed to confirm who He was, and who the Father is, and who the Holy Spirit is?

It was to be in the
"mouth of two or three witnesses" - Deuteronomy 17:6, 19:15; Matthew 18:16; 2 Corinthians 13:1; 1 Timothy 5:19; Hebrews 10:28.

How do we know? Scripture declares it:
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. John 8:17
Jesus declares it so, and even the Jews which heard Him understood this was the way it had to be:
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. John 5:31

The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. John 8:13

Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, [yet] my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. John 8:14

I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. John 8:18
Please pay close and careful and prayerful attention to what scripture and I am about to say...

Christ Jesus was sent of the Father to Witness and Testify of the Love and character of God, even the Father, correct?
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. John 14:7

I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. John 17:6
Therefore, how can Jesus testify of the total and complete Character of the Father, if He Himself had not been eternal, and YHVH God Himself, ever being "with" the YHVH Father and YHVH Holy Spirit from everlasting?

If Jesus were not YHVH God, neither Eternal, neither self-existant having Life within Himself, being unborrowed, underived, neither having His own Will, He could never manifest the True and entire character of the Father unto men?

He could never be the True Witness, for only the Father would have been able to so witness, and therefore, He [the Father] would have been only a single witness [though His own testimony would be true, since God cannot lie], but not enough according to His own standard of two or three.

There are three persons, all able to Witness and Testify of the other in perfection.

Go to
Genesis 1:1... "In the beginning God..." and look very carefully at that hebrew word for "God"... and you will notice something absolutely awesome, it is not in the plural DUAL form, but rather the plural {True} TRIPLE form...

Amen.

Who was always with the Father from Eternity?
The Spirit of God.
That you equate the "Spirit of God" to some aspect of the Father, is not in harmony with the Scripture, since The Holy Spirit is Himself a person, and not the person of the Father, neither the person of the Son. However, all we need do, for the moment is consider that it was both the persons of the Son and the Holy Spirit who were with God from Eternity, for in considering the Son, notice John:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

The same was in the beginning with God. John 1:2

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:3

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 1 John 1:1

(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us; ) 1 John 1:2

That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:3

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. Revelation 19:13
It was the YHVH God the Son, known as the Word, that was eternally with the Father, even as the Holy Spirit Himself also was eternally with them.

Jesus is our Rock because He was obedient even unto death.
No brother, that is not a Scriptural definition, but Jesus is the Rock, because He is the YHVH God, the Son, the Rock of the OT:
Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. Exodus 17:6

Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink. Numbers 20:8

And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? Numbers 20:10

And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts [also]. Numbers 20:11

Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, [wherein were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where [there was] no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; Deuteronomy 8:15

[He is] the Rock, his work [is] perfect: for all his ways [are] judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right [is] he. Deuteronomy 32:4

But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered [with fatness]; then he forsook God [which] made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. Deuteronomy 32:15

Of the Rock [that] begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. Deuteronomy 32:18

How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up? Deuteronomy 32:30

For their rock [is] not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves [being] judges. Deuteronomy 32:31

[There is] none holy as the LORD: for [there is] none beside thee: neither [is there] any rock like our God. 1 Samuel 2:2

And he said, The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; 2 Samuel 22:2

The God of my rock; in him will I trust: [he is] mys hield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. 2 Samuel 22:3

For who [is] God, save the LORD? and who [is] a rock, save our God? 2 Samuel 22:32

The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation. 2 Samuel 22:47

The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men [must be] just, ruling in the fear of God. 2 Samuel 23:3

And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them. Nehemiah 9:15

The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, [and] my high tower. Psalms 18:2

For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save our God? Psalms 18:31

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. Psalms 27:5

He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them] drink as [out of] the great depths. Psalms 78:15

He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. Psalms 78:16

Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people? Psalms 78:20

And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the high God their redeemer. Psalms 78:35

O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Psalms 95:1

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places [like] a river. Psalms 105:41

Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. Psalms 114:8

The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner. Psalms 118:22

And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Isaiah 8:14

And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. Isaiah 32:2

Isaiah 44:28 [Cyrus, meaning “the glory of a blazing furnace”, is the type pointing to Christ Jesus, who is the one which will dry up the river 'Euphrates', come from the 'east' with His armies, and free the captives of 'Babylon' that they may go home– see Revelation.]

And they thirsted not [when] he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out. Isaiah 48:21

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock [whence] ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit [whence] ye are digged. Isaiah 51:1

Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet [that were] of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Daniel 2:34

Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. Daniel 2:35

Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream [is] certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. Daniel 2:45

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: Matthew 7:24

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. Matthew 7:25

And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Matthew 16:16

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18

Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Matthew 21:42

And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: Mark 12:10

He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. Luke 6:48

Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish [it], all that behold [it] begin to mock him, Luke 14:29

And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Luke 20:17

This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Acts 4:11

As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Romans 9:33

According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 1 Corinthians 3:10

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:11

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 1 Corinthians 3:12

And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:4

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone]; Ephesians 2:20

Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 1 Peter 2:6

Unto you therefore which believe [he is] precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 1 Peter 2:7

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [even to them] which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 1 Peter 2:8
Jesus is called over and over again, "...the Rock, Chief and Precious Cornerstone, a Stone, a Living Stone, a Tried Stone, a Stone of Stumbling, a Rock of Offence, Head of the corner, Sure Foundation..."
For who [is] God, save the LORD? and who [is] a rock, save our God? 2 Samuel 22:32 [see also Psalms 18:31]
There are no other Rock's other than the Lord God... Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the high God their redeemer. Psalms 78:35
Satan, in opposition to Jesus, even claims to be the “rock” also, but he is the false rock, even as the principles of his Babylonian kingdom is a false foundation:
For their rock [is] not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves [being] judges. Deuteronomy 32:31

And he shall say, Where [are] their gods, [their] rock in whom they trusted, Deuteronomy 32:37

Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood: Job 22:16

And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 51:26

Deuteronomy 5:14

And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. Deuteronomy 5:15

Who is the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the Ending, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, the Author and Finisher?
Jesus was given a name above all names as a result of His resurrection so yes, He carries many of the same titles as His Father but He is never called the Most High or the Ancient of Days.
Yes, Jesus is called the Most High, even Almighty. The appellation "Ancient of Days" is Daniel's way of delineating between YHVH Father and YHVH Son. YHVH God the Son came down and literally stood before Abraham and Moses and many others on the earth:

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. Genesis 17:1

And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. Exodus 6:3
&c
Who hath wrought and done [it], calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I [am] he. Isaiah 41:4

Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me [there is] no God. Isaiah 44:6

Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I [am] he; I [am] the first, I also [am] the last. Isaiah 48:12
According to scripture alone, who in these [above] passages is the "First and the Last"? It is YHVH - the LORD, but who is this YHVH LORD? It is Jesus...
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: Revelation 1:17

[“Fear not...” [Genesis 15:1, 21:17, 26:24, 46:3; Joshua 8:1; Isaiah 41:13... etc... Matthew 14:27, 17:7, 28:10; Luke 8:50, 12:7...etc...]]

I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 1:18

And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; Revelation 2:8
According to scripture alone, who in these [above] passages is the "First and the Last"? It is Jesus Christ who is "First and the Last".
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send [it] unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. Revelation 1:11

[see “And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. ...”[Revelation 1:12]; “And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of man ...”[Revelation 1:13]]

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Revelation 22:13

I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, [and] the bright and morning star. Revelation 22:16
[if seeking the translation from the NWT, please notice where the quote marks [singles and doubles] actually begin and end here...and who it is that is speaking still from verse 13 and on into verse 16...it is Jesus, who sent His angel, it is Jesus who is coming quickly, by His own admission and by John's.]

According to scripture alone, who in these [above] passages is the "Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last"? It is Jesus Christ.
Behold, the Lord God will come with strong [hand], and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward [is] with him, and his work before him. Isaiah 40:10

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Matthew 16:27
Who is coming with the reward? It is Jesus Christ in all Glory, with His reward.
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:24

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Revelation 22:12
According to scriptures alone, who in these [above] passages is going to "come" and "reward"? Again it is Jesus Christ.
That thou keep [this] commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 1 Timothy 6:14

Which in his times he shall shew, [who is] the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 1 Timothy 6:15

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful. Revelation 17:14

And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Revelation 19:16
According to scripture alone, who in these [above] passages is "King of Kings" and "Lord of Lords"? Jesus Christ again.
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2
Verily Jesus, is “the Author and Finisher” of our faith.

Who was in the Pillar of Cloud and of Fire in the Wilderness?
The Spirit of God.
"The Angel [Messenger] of God [the Father]" {whom was YHVH God the Son} before Israel [the peoples] in the Pillar of Cloud and Pillar of Fire compared to "the LORD" before Israel [the peoples] in the Pillar of Cloud and Pillar of Fire:
Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. (Exodus 23:20)

Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name [is] in him. (Exodus 23:21)

But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. (Exodus 23:22)

For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off. (Exodus 23:23)

But God led the people about, [through] the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt. (Exodus 13:18)

And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: (Exodus 13:21)

And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: (Exodus 14:19)

And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, (Exodus 14:24)

And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood [at] the door of the tabernacle, and [the LORD] talked with Moses. (Exodus 33:9)

The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. Isaiah 19:1

And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand [at] the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man [in] his tent door. (Exodus 33:10)

[Notice that word, "worshipped"in direct association with the "cloudy pillar"]

And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. (Exodus 33:11)

And he said, My presence shall go [with thee], and I will give thee rest. (Exodus 33:14)
[compare also to "Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28; and "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen." Matthew 28:20] [Please notice the word "My presence", and go back unto Genesis 3:8, 4:16 and see also 1 Chronicles 16:33; Psalms 68:2, etc, many times in Psalms]
And he said unto him, If thy presence go not [with me], carry us not up hence. Exodus 33:15

The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: [even] Sinai itself [was moved] at the presence of God, the God of Israel. Psalms 68:8

Say unto them, Whosoever [he be] of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I [am] the LORD. Leviticus 22:3
Also compare the Great Controversy again in the Book of Job, between CHRIST/MICHAEL [who is the "presence of GOD", "the Angel of HIS presence"] and Satan/Dragon:
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath [is] in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. Job 1:2

So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. Job 2:7
Also:
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. Isaiah 63:9
Who is the SAVIOUR, REDEEMER, who bare them and us? Who is "afflicted" for us and them? JESUS CHRIST, the very "presence of GOD" the "Angel of HIS [the FATHER's] presence". ["If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him." John 14:7 and "Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew us the Father?" John 14:9]
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. Isaiah 53:4

And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place. (Deuteronomy 1:31)

And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy [place] within the vail before the mercy seat, which [is] upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat. (Leviticus 16:2)

And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood [in] the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. (Numbers 12:5)

And they will tell [it] to the inhabitants of this land: [for] they have heard that thou LORD [art] among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and [that] thy cloud standeth over them, and [that] thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. (Numbers 14:14)

The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; (Deuteronomy 1:30) [recompare to Joshua and "Captain of the Host of the LORD;" Joshua 5:14]

Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God, (Deuteronomy 1:32)

Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents [in], in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day. (Deuteronomy 1:33)

For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee. (Deuteronomy 23:14)

And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle. (Deuteronomy 31:15)

Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go. (Nehemiah 9:12)

Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: (Nehemiah 9:13)

Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go. (Nehemiah 9:19)

He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance [that] he gave them. (Psalms 99:7)

I am not in great eternal peril.
Who hath "appeared"?

What shall the unbelievers say?
And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. Exodus 4:1
But YHVH God, the Son did so come down and appear on earth:
And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him. Genesis 12:7

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I [am] the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. Genesis 17:1

Who was walking in the Garden in the Beginning?
YAHWEH, through His Spirit.

(Psalm 139:7-8) - Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
In the prayer Jesus gave us an example of praying, where is the Father specifically?
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16

That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Matthew 5:45

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 6:1

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Matthew 6:9

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Matthew 7:11

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7:21

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 10:32

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 10:33

For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Matthew 12:50

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 16:17

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 18:10

Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. Matthew 18:14

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 18:19

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Matthew 23:9

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Mark 11:25

But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. Mark 11:26

And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Luke 11:2

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 1 John 5:7
It was Jesus walking in the Garden, as He is the one sent unto men:
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: Colossians 1:16

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Colossians 1:17

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: Ephesians 3:9

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

The same was in the beginning with God. John 1:2

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:3

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. John 1:10

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, Matthew 19:4

And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. Genesis 2:22

And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. Genesis 3:8

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Genesis 5:1

The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:47
What was man made from?
Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? Job 10:9

Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay. Job 13:12

Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay. Job 33:6
When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, John 9:6

He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. John 9:11

And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. John 9:14

Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. John 9:15

Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? Isaiah 45:9

But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Isaiah 64:8

And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. Jeremiah 18:4

O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. Jeremiah 18:6

Who is it that Comforts us?
The Spirit of Christ working the the Spirit of God.
No, it is YHVH God, even the 3 persons, the Father, & the Son & the Holy Spirit, for notice:

God the Father:
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 2 Corinthians 1:3

Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 2 Corinthians 1:4
Nehemiah = "Nĕchemyah" = "נְחֶמְיָה" = "Jehovah comforts" or Jehovah [YHVH/YHWH] is my Comfort[er].
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; John 14:16
Remember who the Chief Shepherd was? It was Jesus.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Psalms 23:4

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; Isaiah 61:2
Thus it is quite apparent that Jesus is our Comforter, since He said that He would send yet "another" Comforter, being the Holy Spirit Himself.
But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:26

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: John 15:26

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. John 16:7

Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied. Acts 9:31
Furthermore:
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. Psalms 71:21

Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. Psalms 119:76

Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? Psalms 119:82

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Isaiah 40:1

For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. Isaiah 51:3

As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. Isaiah 66:13

Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. Zechariah 1:17

You have a lot of information here but it's all personal interpretation to fit your theology. But that's okay because we're all trying to understand God's complex and divine nature but don't say people are in danger because they have not come to your conclusion.

YAHWEH is eternal. He has an eternal Spirit of which is the creative power of YAHWEH. The eternal Spirit also interacts with man in many different forms and in divers ways. Then comes the man Jesus. Born of a virgin by the power of God making YAHWEH His Father and Mary His mother. See how simple this is.

And yes, Jesus is the Good Shepherd.

And the Eternal Good Shepherd was shown you [1] and [2] . For you, who once was with us:
"... If men reject the testimony of the inspired Scriptures concerning the deity of Christ, it is in vain to argue the point with them; for no argument, however conclusive, could convince them. "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Corinthians 2:14. None who hold this error can have a true conception of the character or the mission of Christ, or of the great plan of God for man's redemption. ..." [The Great Controversy, p. 524.] - http://www.connectingwithjesus.org/media/GC.pdf
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins. John 8:24
