Jesus and His God

{Luke 1:68} “Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, for he has looked upon and prepared deliverance for his people; {Luke 1:69} and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David . — Restoration Light Improved Version. {Luke 7:16} Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has looked upon his people!” —  Restoration Light Improved Version . Many refer to the above scriptures and claim that Jehovah (Yahweh) God himself became flesh as Christ so as to deliver Israel. Such have to explain away the fact that Luke (in Luke 1:68,69) distinguishes Jehovah, the God of Israel, from Jesus, since it is Jehovah of verse 68 who raises up “a horn of salvation” in verse 69. It is generally conceded that this “horn of salvation” in verse 69 is Jesus. Since it is Jehovah of verse 68 who raises up this “horn” spoken of in verse 69,  the default conclusion should be that “Jehovah” is not Jesus. — Deuter...

Isaiah 63:9 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 bore them, and carried them all the days of old. Isaiah 63:10 But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] himself fought against them. — World English In all their distress [He is] no adversary, And the messenger of His presence saved them, In His love and in His pity He redeemed them, And He doth lift them up, And beareth them all the days of old. — Isaiah 63:9, Young’s Literal Isaiah 63:9,10 is sometimes presented as proof of the trinity, although there is actually nothing at all in these verses about a triune God. The word “presence” in the phrase “the angel of Jehovah’s presence” probably refers to the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of light by night, that covered the tabernacle for 40 years. (Exodus 31:22,24) There are scriptures that do indicate that an angel who was c...

It is being claimed that in Revelation 22:2,3 that God and the Lamb are both being referred to as "his" and "him." From this the assumption appears to be that the God and Lamb are both the same being. It default reasoning, however, is that the singular pronouns are not being applied to both God and the Lamb, but either to one or the other. Revelation 22:4 indicates that his and him in verse 3 is the one whom Jesus refers to as "my God" in Revelation 3:12. The Greek word for serve - latreuo -- here is usually only used in the New Testament of the Father [except in idolatrous servitude -- Acts 7:42; Romans 1:25], or in relation to service to the Father. One could see Hebrews 8:5; 13:1 as exceptions, although one could also see that also as being service to the Father. Some claim that in Revelation 22:3, this word is used of the Lamb, but in view of its usage in Revelation 7:15, it should be realized that it is referring to service to "God". {R...
