Jehovah is the Alpha & Omega, The First & the Last Isaiah 44:6 "This is what Jehovah has said, the King of Israel and the Repurchaser of him, Jehovah of armies, 'I am the first and I am the last. And besides Me there is no God.'" Isaiah 48:12 "Listen to Me, O Jacob, and you Israel, My called one. I am the same One. I am the first. Moreover, I am the last.

Titus 1:3 "Whereas in His own due times He made His word manifest in the preaching with which I was entrusted, under command of our Savior, God." Titus 3:4 "However, when the kindness and the love for man on the part of our Savior, God, was manifested." Jehovah is the Light Psalm 27:1 "Jehovah is my LIGHT and my salvation.

Titus 1:4 "To Titus, a genuine child according to a faith shared in common: May there be undeserved kindness and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior." Jesus is the Light John 8:12 "Therefore JESUS spoke again to them saying, 'I am the LIGHT of the world. He that follows Me will by no means walk in darkness, but will possess the LIGHT of life." The Name of Jesus Saves Acts. 4:10 & 12 "Let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST the Nazarene, whom you impaled but whom God raised up from the dead, by this One does this man stand here sound in front of you. Furthermore, there is NO SALVATION IN ANYONE ELSE, for there is NOT ANOTHER NAME under heaven that has been given among men by which we MUST GET SAVED." I John 5:13 "These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God; that you may KNOW that you HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God." Romans 10:9 "For is you publicly declare that word in your own mouth, that Jesus is Lord, and exercise faith in your heart that God raised Him up from the dead, you WILL BE SAVED."

3 Every Knee will Bow to Jehovah Isaiah 45:23-24 "By My own self I have sworn - out of My own mouth in righteousness the word has gone forth, so that I will not return - that to ME EVERY KNEE WILL BEND DOWN, EVERY TONGUE WILL SWEAR, saying 'Surely in Jehovah there are full righteousness and strength.'" Jehovah Receives Worship Revelation 4:11 "You are WORTHY, Jehovah, even our God, to receive the GLORY and the HONOR and the POWER, because You created all things, and because of Your will they existed and were created." Revelation 5:13-14 "And every creature that is in heaven and on earth and underneath the earth and on the sea, and all the things in them, I heard saying, 'To the One sitting on the throne (Jehovah) AND TO THE LAMB be the BLESSING and the HONOR and the GLORY and the might forever and ever.' And the four living creatures went saying, 'Amen!' and the elders fell down and WORSHIPED." We Are to Honor Jehovah Revelation 7:12 "Saying: 'Amen! The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the HONOR and the power and the strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen.'" I Timothy 1:17 "Now to the King of eternity, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, be HONOR and glory forever and ever. Amen." Jehovah Says There is No One Like Him Isaiah 46:9 "Remember the first things of a long time ago, that I am the Divine One and there is NO OTHER GOD, NOR ANYONE LIKE ME." Every Knee will Bow to Jesus Philippians 2:10-11 "So that in the NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BEND of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground, and EVERY TONGUE should openly acknowledge that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD to the glory of God the Father." Jesus, the Lamb, Receives Worship Revelation 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, 'The Lamb that was slaughtered is WORTHY to receive the POWER and riches and wisdom and strength and HONOR and GLORY and BLESSING'" John 1:29 "The next day he beheld JESUS coming toward him, and he said, 'See, the LAMB of God that takes away the sin of the world!'" Revelation 5:13-14 "And every creature that is in heaven and on earth and underneath the earth and on the sea, and all the things in them, I heard saying, 'To the One sitting on the throne AND TO THE LAMB be the BLESSING and the HONOR and the GLORY and the might forever and ever.' And the four living creatures went saying, 'Amen!' and the elders fell down and WORSHIPED." Jesus Is to Be Honored EQUALLY, the SAME AS the Father John 5:21-23 "For just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes those alive whom He wants to. For the Father judges no one at all, but He has committed all the judging to the Son, in order that all may HONOR THE SON JUST AS they HONOR THE FATHER. He that does not HONOR THE Son does not HONOR the Father who sent Him." Jesus is the Exact Image of God Hebrews 1:1-3 "God, who long ago spoke on many occasions and in many ways to our forefathers by means of the prophets, has at the end of these days spoken to us by means of His Son, whom He appointed heir of all

4 Isaiah 45:5 "I am Jehovah, and there is NO ONE ELSE. With the exception of Me there is NO GOD." things, and through whom He made the systems of things. He is the reflection of His glory and the EXACT REPRESENTATION of His VERY BEING..." Colossians 1:15-17 "He is the IMAGE of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers." There is No God But Jehovah Isaiah 43:10 "'You are My witnesses', is the utterance of Jehovah, 'even My servant whom I have chosen, in order that you may know and have faith in Me, and that you may understand that I am the same One. Before Me there was NO GOD FORMED, and AFTER ME there continued to be NONE.'" Isaiah 44:6 & 8 "This is what Jehovah has said, the King of Israel and the Repurchaser of him, Jehovah of armies, 'I am the first and I am the last. And besides Me there is no God.'" "Do not be in dread, you people, and do not become stupefied. Have I not from that time on caused you individually to hear and told it out? And you are My witnesses. Does there EXIST A GOD BESIDES ME? No, there is no Rock. I have recognized none." Jesus is God, Not a Created Being and He Cannot be a Lesser God, Since Jehovah Says There is None John 1:1 & 14 "In the BEGINNING was the WORD, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. And the WORD BECAME FLESH and DWELT (LIVED) among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 20:27-29 "Next He said to Thomas, 'Put your finger here, and see My hands, and take your hand and stick it into My side, and stop being unbelieving.' In answer Thomas said to Him, 'My Lord and MY GOD!' Jesus said to him, 'Because you have SEEN ME have you BELIEVED? Happy are those who DO NOT SEE, and yet BELIEVE.'" Jehovah is the Mighty God Deuteronomy 10:17 "For JEHOVAH your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, the God great, MIGHTY and fear-inspiring, who treats none with partiality, nor accepts a bribe." Jeremiah 32:18 The One exercising loving kindness towards thousands, and repaying the error of the fathers into the bosom of their sons after them, the true God, the great One, the MIGHTY ONE, Jehovah of armies being His name." Isaiah 10:20-21 "And it will certainly occur Jesus is the Mighty God and Cannot Be "a god" Because All Other "gods" are Demons Isaiah 9:6 "For there has been a Child born to us, there has been a Son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, MIGHTY GOD, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." I Corinthians 8:4-6 "...We know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is NO GOD BUT ONE. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether IN HEAVEN or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many

5 in that day that those remaining over of Israel and those who have escaped of the house of Jacob will never again support themselves upon the one striking them, and they will certainly support themselves upon JEHOVAH, the Holy One of Israel, in trueness. A mere remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the MIGHTY GOD." "lords..." I Corinthians 10:20 "No, but I say that the things which the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to DEMONS, and no to God; and I do not want you to become sharers with the DEMONS." Jehovah is King of Kings and Lord of Lords Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords Deuteronomy 10:17 "For JEHOVAH your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, the God great, MIGHTY and fearinspiring, who treats none with partiality, nor accepts a bribe." The Father Sent the Holy Spirit John 14:26 "But the Helper, the HOLY SPIRIT, which the Father will send in My name, that one will teach you all things and bring back to your minds all the things I told you." Ezekiel 36:22 & 27 "This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said...'and My Spirit I shall put inside you..." John 14:16-17 "And I will request the Father and HE WILL GIVE YOU another Helper to be with you forever, the Spirit of the truth..." Jehovah is Called the Fountain of Living Waters Jeremiah 2:13 "For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, to hew for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water." Jeremiah 17:13 "O Jehovah, the hope of Israel, all those who are leaving You will be put to shame. Those who turn away on earth will be written down, because they have left the source of living water, JEHOVAH." Revelation 17:14 "These will battle with the LAMB, but, because He is LORD OF LORDS and KING OF KINGS, the LAMBwill conquer them. Also, those called and chosen and faithful with Him." Jesus Sent the Holy Spirit John 15:26 "When the Helper arrives that I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of the truth, which proceeds from the Father, that One will bear witness about Me." John 16:7-8 "Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth. It is for your benefit I am going away. For if I do not go away, the Helper will by no means come to you; but if I do go My way, I will SEND HIM to you. And when that One arrives HE will give the world convincing evidence concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment." The Holy Spirit is Called the Fountain of Living Waters John 4:13-14 "Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a FOUNTAIN of water springing up into EVERLASTING LIFE." John 7:38-39 "He who puts faith in Me, just as the Scripture has said, out of his inmost part streams of LIVING WATERwill flow. However, He said this concerning the SPIRIT, whom those who put faith in Him were about to receive; for theholy SPIRIT was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified."

6 There Are Three Persons in the Godhead, Yet One God Deuteronomy 6:4-5 "Listen, O Israel: JEHOVAH our God is ONE JEHOVAH." (The Hebrew word for "one" used here is "achad", which means a "UNITED ONE" - the same word, "achad" is used in Genesis 2:24 "That is why a man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become ONE FLESH." - two persons becoming a UNITED ONE. The Holy Spirit is a Person 1. He is a "He" and Does the Things a Person Does John 16:13-14 "However, when that One arrives, the SPIRIT of the truth, HE will guide you into all the truth, for HE will not speak of HIS own impulse, but what things HE hears HE will speak and HE will declare to you the things coming. That One will glorify Me, because HE will receive from what is Mine and will declare it to you." 2. HE CAN BE GRIEVED & HURT Ephesians 4:30 "Also, do not be grieving God's Holy Spirit, with which you have been sealed for a day of releasing by ransom." Isaiah 63:7-10 "But they themselves rebelled and made His Holy Spirit FEEL HURT..." 3. He is our TEACHER and He SEARCHES & KNOWS all the things of God I Corinthians 2:10-13 "For it is to us God has revealed them through His SPIRIT, for the SPIRIT searches into all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of man that is in him? So, too, no one has come to know the things of God, except the Spirit of God. Now we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that have been kindly given us by God. These things we also speak, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those TAUGHT BY THE SPIRIT, as we combine spiritual matters with spiritual words." The Holy Spirit is Called Jehovah & the Spirit of Christ II Corinthians 3:17 "Now Jehovah is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of Jehovah is, there is freedom. And all of us, while we with unveiled faces reflect like mirrors the glory of Jehovah, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, exactly as done by Jehovah, the Spirit." Galatians 4:6 "Now because you are sons, God has sent forth the SPIRIT OF HIS SON into our hearts and it cries out: 'Abba, Father!'" Romans 8:9 "However, you are in harmony, not with the flesh, but with the SPIRIT, if God's SPIRIT truly dwells in you. But if anyone does not have CHRIST'S SPIRIT, this one does not belong to Him." All Three Persons of the Godhead Are Involved in Our Lives II Corinthians 13:14 "The undeserved kindness of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the sharing in the Holy Spirit be with all of you."

7 Colossians 2:9 "For In Him (Jesus Christ) dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power." All Three Persons of the Godhead Are Involved in Creation Genesis 1:1-2, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters." "Then God said, 'Let US make man in OUR image, according to OUR likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So God created man in HIS own image; in the image of God HE created him; male and female HE created them." God refers to Himself as "Us" and "Our," then switches back to "His" and "He". If it were God PLUS SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS NOT GOD speaking, it would have to say "created in THEIR images." Jehovah Created By Himself Jeremiah 32:17 "Alas, O sovereign Lord Jehovah! Here You Yourself have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm..." Isaiah 44:24 "This is what Jehovah has said, your Repurchaser and the Former of you from the belly: 'I Jehovah, am doing everything, stretching out the heavens BY MYSELF, laying out the earth. Who was with Me?'" Compare Isaiah 48:12 with Rev. 1: The same One who "laid the foundation of the earth and stretched out the heavens" is also the One who "was DEAD and now I am ALIVE FOREVERMORE!! Jesus Created Everything & Sustains Everything with HIS POWER John 1:2-3 "This One was in the beginning with God. All things CAME INTO EXISTENCE THROUGH Him, and apart from not even one thing came into existence." Hebrews 1:1-3 "God, who long ago spoke on many occasions and in many ways to our forefathers by means of the prophets, has at the end of these days spoken to us by means of His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the systems of things. He is the reflection of His glory and the EXACT REPRESENTATION of His VERY BEING, and He (Jesus) SUSTAINS all things BY THE WORD OF HIS POWER..." All Three Persons of the Godhead Are Involved in Salvation Isaiah 63:7-10 "The loving-kindnesses of Jehovah (FATHER)I shall mention, the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah has rendered to us, even the abundant goodness to the house of Israel that He has rendered to them according to His mercies and according to the abundance of His loving-kindnesses. And He went on to say, 'Surely they are My people, sons that will not prove false.' So it was to them that HE CAME TO BE A SAVIOR (JESUS). During all their distress it was distressing to Him. And His own personal messenger SAVED them. In His love and in His compassion He Himself repurchased them, and He proceeded to lift them up and carry them all the days of long ago. But they themselves rebelled andmade His Holy Spirit (SPIRIT) feel hurt."

8 Matthew 3:16-17 "After being baptized Jesus (the Son) immediately came up from the water; and, look! The heavens were opened up, and He saw descending like a dove God's Spirit (Holy Spirit) coming upon Him. Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens (the Father) that said: 'This is My Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.'" Preparing the Way for Jehovah Isaiah 40:3 "Listen! Someone is calling out in the wilderness, 'Clear up the way of Jehovah, you people! Make the highway for our God through the desert plain straight.'" Matthew 3:1-3 "In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, 'Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.' This in fact is the one spoken of through Isaiah the prophet in these words, 'Listen! Someone is crying out in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of Jehovah, you people! Make His roads straight.'" John 1:14-15, 22-23, 29 "So the WORD became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of His glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten Son from a Father; and He was full of undeserved kindness and truth. John bore witness about Him...(22-23) Therefore they said to him (John): 'Who are you? That we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself? He said: 'I am a voice of someone crying out in the wilderness, 'Make the way of Jehovah straight,' just as Isaiah the prophet said. (29) The next day he beheld JESUS coming toward him, and he said, 'See, the LAMB of God that takes away the sin of the world!' (32-34) John also bore witness saying, 'I viewed the Spirit coming down as a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon Him. Even I did not know Him, but the very One who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'Whoever it is upon whom you see the Spirit coming down and remaining, this is the One thatbaptizes in the Holy Spirit.' And I have seen, and I have borne witness that this One is the Son of God." Who did John the Baptist prepare the way for? JESUS! Jesus is Jehovah!
