* Isaiah 40:28 - The Creator of the Ends of the Earth

Isaiah 40:28 - Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? The everlasting God, Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary; there is no searching of his understanding. -- American Standard Version.

Sometimes, Isaiah 40:28 is given by trinitarians along with other scriptures in an effort to claim that there are three persons who are referred to as the Creator. 

Nothing in Isaiah 40:28 presents Jehovah (Yahweh) as being more than one person, or indicates that Jesus is Jehovah. "God" [ELOHIM, Strong's #430] in this verse is obviously the same one person who is "God" [ELOHIM] in Isaiah 61:1,2 and Micah 5:4. Only Jehovah, the God and Father of Jesus, is the source of creation. ("Jehovah" is the same one person spoken of in Psalm 110:1, at whose right hand Jesus sits. Jesus confirmed what is stated in Isaiah 40:28 by referring to his God and Father as the one who from the beginning made man male and female. (Mark 10:6; 13:19) Thus, only Jesus' God, Jehovah (Micah 5:4; 1 Peter 1:3), is appropriately called "creator" in the Bible.

The expression "ends of the earth" evidently refers to the land areas upon the planet Earth, and God's creation upon that land. If this is so, this is the same "earth/land" that is referred to in Genesis 1:1,10; 2:1,4; Exodus 20:11; 31:17. Acts 4:24; 14:15. 

Jesus, however, is identified in the Bible, not as being the "one God" from whom are the all, but rather "one Lord" through whom God made the skies and the land, and all therein. Indeed, 1 Corinthians 8:6 shows Jesus, not as the the source, but rather the instrument that God uses. -- John 1:3,10; Colossians 1:15-17.

The Textus Recptus of Ephesians 3:9, agrees with this.

Ephesians 3:9 - and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ. -- World English.

There is no reason to believe that "Jehovah" in Isaiah 40:28 is not the same one person who is "Jehovah" in Isaiah 61:1,2 and Micah 5:4. Jehovah is the God and Father of Jesus. -- Ephesians 1:3.

    My question about this is, in exactly what way is Jesus the "instrument" that God uses to create all things?

      I believe that God works through Jesus similar to the way He worked through Moses and many others in the Old Testament. Jehovah often spoke of doing things that were carried out by people such as Moses, etc. -- Exodus 3:8,10; 12:17; 18:10; Numbers 16:28; Deuteronomy 32:12; Judges 2:6,18; 3:9,10; 6:34; 11;29; 13:24,25; 14:6,19; 15:14,18; 16:20,28-30; 2 Kings 4:27; Psalm 77:20; 78:52; Isaiah 43:11; 45:1-6; Hosea 12:13; Acts 7:36.

Zechariah 3:2 - Does Jehovah Ask Jehovah to Rebuke Satan?

Zechariah 3:1-2 - And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.[2] And Jehovah said unto Satan, Jehovah rebuke thee, O Satan; yea, Jehovah that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? -- American Standard Version .  Deuteronomy 6:4 - Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. -- American Standard Version. Zechariah 3:2 is sometimes quoted as proof that Jesus is called "Jehovah" and therefore it is claimed that Jesus is a person of the trinitarian concept of three persons in God. Of course, there is nothing all here that presents any concept that the one Jehovah is more than one person, or that He is three persons, etc. Such concepts have to imagined, assumed, added to, and read into what is stated. As it reads in the translation above, it would appear that there are two different Jehovahs, one Jehovah who speaks of another Jehovah, ...

Psalm 110:5 - Did David Claim the Messiah is Jehovah?

The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath. -- Psalm 110:5, World English . Some refer to Psalm 110:5 as proof that Jesus is Jehovah, or a person of Jehovah. The claim appears to be that since David's Lord is spoke of as being at the right hand of Jehovah in Psalm 110:1, that Jehovah is depicted as being at the right hand of Jehovah in Psalm 110:5 must be referring to the Messiah as the second person Jehovah, sitting at the right hand of the first person of Jehovah. Of course, one has to add a lot of assumptions to the what is said in Psalm 110:1,5 in order to "see" any idea of the alleged trinity at all. The Masoretic text does not have the Holy Name in this verse; it has what is often transliterated as "adonay/adonai." http://qbible.com/hebrew-old-testament/psalms/110.html#5 The original Hebrew, however, does not actually have ADONAY anywhere. In the ancient Hebrew, there is no distinction between adonay and adony. They a...
