Revelation 2:23 - I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
The above two scriptures have been placed together with the claim this proves that Jesus is Jehovah of Jeremiah 17:10. Is this true?
Jehovah, the God and Father of Jesus, is the "one God" who is the source of all. (1 Corinthians 8:6) It is the God and Father of Jesus who has made Jesus both Lord and Christ (Ezekiel 34:23,24; Isaiah 61:1,2; Acts 2:36), and has exalted him to the highest position in the universe, far above the angels, next to the only Most High.-- Acts 2:33,36; 5:31; Philippians 2:9; Ephesians 1:3,17-23; 1 Corinthians 15:27; Hebrews 1:4,6; 1 Peter 3:22.
It the "one God" of 1 Corinthians 8:6 who has given to His Anointed One His Spirit in a special way, giving him the power to "not judge by the sight of his eyes, nor decide by the hearing of his ears." (Isaiah 11:1-4) Of Jesus, it is prohesied:"He shall stand and feed in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah His God. And they shall sit, for now He is great to the ends of the earth." (Micah 5:4, Green's Literal) Thus, his power to judge men's hearts is because he stands in the strength of Jehovah, his God.
Jehovah comes to judge through -- by means of -- His son. -- Psalm 96:13; 98:9; Isaiah 40:10; 62:11; Luke 1:32,35; John 5:22,23; Acts 10:42; 17:31; Romans 2:16; 1 Corinthians 4:5; Revelation 22:12.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob now speaks to us through His Son. -- Acts 3:13-26; Hebrews 1:1,2.
Nothing in this means that we need to imagine, assume, add to, and read into, the scriptures that Jesus is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
