There are many scriptures which lead me to believe that God is Jesus just in a different form. Because in the Jewish culture, the Messiah, was the one the Jewish people were waiting for. Unfortunately, when the Son of God appeared they didn’t recognize Him. Even though Jesus told them if you don’t believe Me, believe the works which I do as a witness to who I AM. So I’ve put together several scriptures which speaks to who Jesus was, the first one reads;
Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet
fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”
Jesus said to them, Most assuredly, I say to
you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
John 8:57,58
The Pharisees, Scribes and the Jewish people would recognize this name because this is the name given to Moses at the burning bush. The name which God revealed as, I AM, allowing the children of Israel to follow Moses out of Egypt into their own land. But let’s look at a few others;
Exodus 3:14 – And GOD said to Moses, I AM;” and He said, “This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.”
Deuteronomy 4:35 – You were shown these things so that you might know that the LORD, He is God; there is no other besides Him.
Zechariah 12:10 – And I will pour out on the House of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and of pleading, so that they will look on Me, whom they pierced; and they will mourn for Him, like one mourning for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a first born.
Revelation 1:7 – Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him-even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.
Micah 5:2 – But as for you Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clams of Judah, from you One will come forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His times of coming forth are from long ago, from the days of eternity.
Malachi 3:1 – “Behold, I will send My Messenger, who will prepare the way before Me. Then the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to His temple-the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight-see He is coming,” says the Lord of Hosts.
Isaiah 42:8 – I am the LORD, that is My Name; I will not give My Glory to another, nor My Praise to idols.
Isaiah 43:15 – I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, and your King.
Isaiah 44:6 – Thus says the LORD, the King and Redeemer of Israel, the LORD of Hosts: “I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God but Me.
Isaiah 45:5 – “I am the LORD, and there is no one else; There is no God except Me. I will arm you, though you have not known Me.“
Psalm 110:1 – The LORD said to My Lord: “Sit at My right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”
Psalm 45:6,7 – Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your Kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.
Psalm 100:3 – Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
John 10:11 – I am the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
John 10:33 – “We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, declare Yourself to be God.“
Colossians 1:15 – The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.
Isaiah 43:10-13 – “You are My witnesses, ” declares the LORD, and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you many consider and believe Me and understand that I am HE. Before no god was formed, and after Me none will come. I, yes I, am the LORD, and there is no Savior but Me. I alone decreed and saved and proclaimed-I, and not some foreign god among you. So you are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God. Even from eternity I am He, and none can deliver out of My hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”
John 1:1 – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
John 1:14 – And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Revelation 1:8 – “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and who was and is to come-the Almighty.
Revelation 19:13 – He was clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.
Revelation 19:16 – And he has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS.
We can see by these scriptures that there is ONLY ONE GOD, which means GOD has manifested Himself in different roles. Because in Isaiah, Zechariah, Exodus and even Deuteronomy we’re told over and over the Lord is God and there is no one else. God has declared Himself the King of Israel and no one can reverse it!
But now we have the Son of God who takes away the sin of the world. He did this by becoming the sacrificial lamb. Because it’s through the blood He shed for the remission of sins and to seal the new covenant that we have the opportunity to become sons and daughters to the Almighty.
