Notice in following passage three men appeared to Abraham two men are identified as angels 19:1 while one of the men is identified as Jehovah God, not a representive of him but actually Jehovah. Read the text right out of the NWT . John 1:18 says no one has seen the God the Father so here again we can conclude this was the pre-incarnate Jesus.
6 So Abraham went hurrying to the tent to Sarah and said: “Hurry! Get three seah measures of fine flour, knead the dough and make round cakes.”7 Next Abraham ran to the herd and proceeded to get a tender and good young bull and to give it to the attendant, and he went hurrying to get it ready.8 He then took butter and milk and the young bull that he had got ready and set it before them. Then he himself kept standing by them under the tree as they were eating.
29 But yet again he spoke further to him and said: “Suppose forty are found there.” In turn he said: “I shall not do it on account of the forty.”30 But he continued: “May Jehovah, please, not grow hot with anger, but let me go on speaking: Suppose thirty are found there.” In turn he said: “I shall not do it if I find thirty there.”31 But he continued on: “Please, here I have taken upon myself to speak to Jehovah: Suppose twenty are found there.” In turn he said: “I shall not bring it to ruin on account of the twenty.”32 Finally he said: “May Jehovah, please, not grow hot with anger, but let me speak just this once: Suppose ten are found there.” In turn he said: “I shall not bring it to ruin on account of the ten.”33 Then Jehovah went his way when he had finished speaking to Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
1 Now the two angels arrived at Sod′om by evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sod′om. When Lot caught sight of them, then he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the earth.
the biblical use of the word "firstborn" is most interesting. It can mean the first born child in a family (Luke 2:7), but it can also mean "pre-eminence." In Psalm 89:20, 27 it says, "I have found David My servant; with My holy oil I have anointed him...I also shall make him My first-born" (NASB). As you can see, David, who was the last one born in his family was called the firstborn by God. This is a title of preeminence.
The way the Holy Spirit finally reached me that Jesus is Jehovah actually came about from what the WT Org taught me about the name YHWH, that it had stopped being pronounced so we had lost how to say it, because what was said instead of God's name was LORD (Adonai in Hebrew; Kyrios in Greek). And that English Bibles show where YHWH is in the Hebrew text by using LORD there. So here comes 1 Corinthians 12:3 no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. That had to mean Jesus is Jehovah. And in fact the Aramaic Bible in Plain English has it as: neither can a man say, “Yeshua is THE LORD JEHOVAH”, except by The Spirit of Holiness.
It would be interesting to see what the 25 Hebrew translations have there, the ones the WT Org uses to insert the name Jehovah into the NT. I know some of them show Jesus is Jehovah in Paul's encounter with him on the road to Damascus.
"9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”"
Two different parts of scripture are used here by Paul. One is that of Isaiah 28:16 where The Father has laid the cornerstone (Jesus) and Joel 2:32.
Acts 4:11 "11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone."
Psalm 118:22-23 "22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone."
Isaiah 8:13-15 "13 But the Lord of hosts, him you shall honor as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 14 And he will become a sanctuary and a stone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15 And many shall stumble on it. They shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.”"
1 Corinthians 1:23 "23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles,"
‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’"
Then Paul uses Joel 2:32. This is directly applied to Jesus as we can see from verse 11. Verse 11 says exactly to whom we are to call upon, "the same Lord is Lord of all"
Joel 2:32 "32 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls."
This is again supported by 1 Corinthians 1:2 "2 To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:"
The subject [Him] is Jesus. John states that when Isaiah wrote these words down he saw Jesus. But when did Isaiah see Jesus for Isaiah lived during the 8th century BC? Note it was when Isaiah said the above things.
So what did Isaiah see when he wrote this.
Isaiah wrote that he saw God in all His Glory. John states that Isaiah saw Jesus. Now some say that what Isaiah saw was the glory of God that was bestowed on Jesus.
Is 42:8 I am the Lord, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images.
Jesus states that no one has seen or heard The Father.
Jn 6:46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.
Jn 5:37 And the Father Himself, who sent Me, mhas testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nnor seen His form.
Luke writes in Acts that it was the HS that spoke to Isaiah.
Premise 1 John states that Isaiah saw the glory of Jesus.
Premise 3 God states that He does not share His glory with anyone.
Premise 4 Jesus states that no one has seen or heard the Father.
Conclusion Isaiah saw and heard the Triune God.
Exodus 3:14 Yahweh (Yahweh) means "He Is."
• Yahweh God dwells in us. (2 Corinthians 6:16) Jesus is in us. (Romans 8:10)2.
• Yahweh’s nature does not change. (Malachi 3:6) Jesus’ nature does not change. (Hebrews 13:8)3.
