The LORD GOD יהוה YHVH of Israel is the Lord Jesus Christ

I was watching one of my favorite Pastors yesterday, or the day before, and He spoke about some Scriptures which really caught my attention and really made me stop and think. Because, many Jewish people believe in God but they don’t believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, or in their tongue, Yeshua Mashiach.

But there is a way for Jewish people, whether they live in Israel, the United States, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey or any foreign country, to fully understand who the Lord Jesus Christ truly is. Christians and Jewish people are called to worship the one true God and it’s time we come together and understand who He truly is.

The Scriptures I’m referring to is found in Zechariah 12:1-9 and I will highlight what is significant.

1 – The burden of the Word of LORD (יהוה‎ or YHVH) against Israel. This says the LORD (יהוה‎ or YHVH), who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the Spirit of man within him:

2 – Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding people’s, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem.

3 – And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.

4 – In that day, says the LORD (יהוה‎ or YHVH), I will strike every horse with confusion, and it’s rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.

5 – And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the Lord of hosts, their God.’

6 – In that day I will make the governors of Judah like a firepan in the woodpile…

7 – The LORD (יהוה‎ or YHVH) will save the tents of Judah first…

8 – In that day the LORD (יהוה‎ or YHVH) will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem…

9 – It shall be in that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

From the beginning in Verse 1 Zechariah tells us exactly who is speaking, which in English is the LORD, GOD, and in Hebrew would be יהוה‎ or YHVH.

  • Verse 2 states, I will make Jerusalem a cup.
  • Verse 3 states, I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone.
  • Verse 4 states, In that day, says the LORD, I will strike and I will open My eyes on the house of Judah
  • Verse 5 states, the LORD, יהוה or YHVH of Hosts, their GOD
  • Verse 6 states, In that day I will make the governors.
  • Verse 7 states, the LORD, יהוה or YHVH will save the tents.
  • Verse 8 states, In that day the LORD, יהוה or YHVH will defend.
  • Verse 9 states, I will seek to destroy all the nations.

Do you see who is speaking?

The LORD, GOD, in English and יהוה or YHVH in the Hebrew language. But if that’s true how can a Jewish person explain what GOD, יהוה or YHVH says next?

And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of Grace and supplication; then they will look on ME whom they pierced.

If you’re Jewish you should ask yourself, when was God or יהוה‎ YHVH ever pierced?

And if you’re a non-believer you should ask yourself how could the Bible predict this long before it happened?

The GOD of the Old Testament, of the Torah is the same who came in the flesh, born of a virgin, taught the people to repent and turn away from their sins, to believe in the Son of God by FAITH, was sacrificed and became the atonement for sins and ushered in the New Covenant which was spoken of by Ezekiel and Jeremiah. Then the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua Mashiach, rose on the 3rd day.

I urge all Jewish people to read the scriptures for themselves. Jewish leaders just as Christian leaders will lead you astray, don’t put your trust in man but in the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua Mashiach. Notice what Zechariah says in 14:9, which states;

And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be – “The LORD is one, and His name one.

Don’t put your salvation in the hands of others, seek the Lord Jesus Christ or Yeshua Mashiach while He can still be found!
