Old Testament (Jehovah)

New Testament (Jesus)

Deuteronomy 30:10-14:  10  if thou shalt obey the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.

11  For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for thee, neither is it far off.  12  It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?

13  Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?

14  But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

Romans 10:6-11:  6  But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:)

7  or, Who shall descend into the abyss? (That is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)  8  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

9  because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:

10  for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  11  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

Psalm 102:25-27:  25  Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands.  26  They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: 27  But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end.  (see vv. 18-19, the context is about praising Jehovah the Creator)

Hebrews 1:8, 10-12:  8  but of the Son he saith… 10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands: 11  They shall perish; but thou continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment; 12  And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail.

Isaiah 6:3, 10:  3  And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory… 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.  (Context is Isaiah’s vision of the glory of Jehovah, 6:3)

John 12:37-41:  37  But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38  that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: "Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?" 39  Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: 40  "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them." 41  These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

Isaiah 8:11-13:  11  For Jehovah spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying, 12  Say ye not, A conspiracy, concerning all whereof this people shall say, A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be in dread thereof.  13  Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

1 Peter 3:14-15:  14  But even if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, blessed are ye: and fear not their fear, neither be troubled; 15  but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: being ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:

Isaiah 8:13-15:  13  Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.  14  And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.  15  And many shall stumble thereon, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

1 Peter 2:7-8:  7  For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; 8  and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

Isaiah 40:3:  The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God.

Matthew 3:3:  For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

Matthew 11:10, 13-14:  This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee… 13  For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.  14  And if ye are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, that is to come. (John was the voice that prepared the way for Jesus)

Isaiah 44:6:  Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.

Revelation 1:17:  And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.

Joel 2:32:  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be delivered;

Acts 2:21:  And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Zechariah 12:8-10:  8  In that day shall Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of Jehovah before them.  9  And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.  10  And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born.

John 19:33, 37:  33  but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs… 37  And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

 
1. Jesus is fully God (deity) and fully man (humanity). 

2. These passages demonstrate that in Jesus dwells “all the fullness of the Godhead bodily” (Col. 2:9)… John 1:1-3; 10:30 (30-38)

3. “that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father that sent him” (John 5:23).
