Jer.23:6 is often used to prove Yahushua is Yahuweh. "In his [Yahushua's] days Yehudah shall be saved, and Yisrael shall dwell safely: and this is his [ Yahshua's] name whereby he [Yahshua] shall be called, YAHUWEH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." If this verse teaches that Yahushua is Yahuweh because he is called "Yahuweh Our Righteousness, then Jer.33:16 teaches that Yahrushalayim is also Yahuweh. It reads, "In those days shall Yehudah be saved, and Yahrushalayim shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, Yahuweh our righteousness." The translators did not use the same capitalization because they undoubtedly feared that it would suggest Yahrushalayim is Yahuweh.

A difficult passage to understand is found in Jn.12:37-41. A superficial reading leads one to believe that the "his" and "him" of verse 41 refers to Yahushua and ties in with verse 37. For the sake of clarity these verses will be printed out with [brackets] designating the speaker. Jn.12:37,38, "But though he [Yahushua] had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him [Yahushua]: That the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he [Isaiah] spake, haElohim, 'who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Yahuweh been revealed?' (The underlined is a quote from Is.53:1. The "arm of Yahuweh" is Isaiah's reference to the Messiah). The passage continues with verses 39-41; "Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again, 'He [Yahuweh] hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I [Yahuweh] should heal them.' These things said Isaiah, when he [Isaiah] saw his [Yahuweh's] glory, and spake of him [Yahuweh]." Verse 40 (underlined) is a quote from Is.6:10. John is quoting a second passage from Isaiah to show why they could not believe on Yahushua; because Yahuweh blinded them. Verse 41 therefore, is referring to Is.6:10, not Is.53:1. In Is.6:1-3 Yahuweh is seen in all His glory. That is the glory referred to in verse 41. It was not Yahushua's glory.

Since John the Baptist preceeded Yahushua, Is.40:3 and Mt.3:3 are often used to prove Yahuweh is Yahushua. Is.40:3 reads, "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of Yahuweh, make straight in the desert a highway for our haElohim." Of all the Renewed Covenant/Messianic verses that quote Isaiah, Lu.3:4-6 aids our understanding because it includes Is.40:4 & 5. It says, "As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of Yahuweh, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of Yahuweh." "Prepare ye the way of Yahuweh" does not mean, "Move out of the way because Yahuweh is coming." And so when Yahushua comes they believe he is Yahuweh.

How was "the way" to be prepared? By filling valleys, leveling mountains, straightening paths, etc. This work is not to be understood literally, but spiritually through the humbling of those in exalted positions and the restoration of truth. Who was to do that work? Jn.4:34 says, "Yahushua saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish his work." Almighty Yahuweh appointed His Son Yahushua to finish His work. Yahushua was Yahuweh's instrument in the accomplishment of His great plan. Yahushua is the "Messenger of the Covenant/Malak Paneh Yahuweh," "the servant of Yahuweh," and "the salvation of Yahuweh." Jn.14:6 calls Yahushua "the way." He is "the way of Yahuweh;" the means through which Yahuweh will finish His work.

Shalom Shalom
