Hosea 1:7 - Does Jehovah Save By Another Jehovah?

(This study still needs some editing) Hosea 1:7 - But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by Jehovah their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen. -- American Standard Version .

Trinitarians (and some others) often cite Isaiah 40:3 along with various scriptures in the New Testament, and claim that such proves that Jesus is Jehovah, and/or that Jesus is one of three persons all of whom are alleged to be Jehovah. Isaiah 40:3 foretells of one [John the Baptizer] who was to come with a message to the people of Israel to prepare the way of/to Jehovah. The people of Israel were in a desert condition because of their sin, thus John ...
