Jehovah is the Mighty God Jesus is the Mighty God and Cannot Be "a god" Because All Other "" are Demons

Deuteronomy 10:17 "For JEHOVAH your Isaiah 9:6 "For there has been a Child born God is the God of gods, and the Lord of , to us, there has been a Son given to us; the God great, MIGHTY and fear-inspiring, and the princely rule will come to be upon His who treats none with partiality, nor accepts a shoulder.

And John 14:16-17 "And I will request the when that One arrives HE will give the Father and HE WILL GIVE YOU another world convincing evidence concerning sin and Helper to be with you forever, the Spirit of concerning righteousness and concerning the truth...... " judgment."

Jehovah is Called the Fountain of Living The Holy Spirit is Called the Fountain of Waters Living Waters

Jeremiah 2:13 "For my people have John 4:13-14 "Jesus answered and said to committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, her, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst the fountain of living waters, to hew for again, but whoever drinks of the water that I themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that shall give him will never thirst. But the water can hold no water." that I shall give him will become in him a FOUNTAIN of water springing up into Jeremiah 17:13 "O Jehovah, the hope of EVERLASTING LIFE." Israel, all those who are leaving You will be put to shame. Those who turn away on earth John 7:38-39 "He who puts faith in Me, just will be written down, because they have as the Scripture has said, out of his inmost left the source of living water, part streams of LIVING WATERwill flow. JEHOVAH." 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." 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." 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, 26-27 "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. 1:17-18. 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." 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!
