The following scriptures from Psalms prove that Jesus Christ is the same one Lord God Almighty in both his Spiritual form in the Old Testament and in His manifested form as a Man in the New Testament. God spoke out of heaven and told us His Highest Name through the Apostle Paul Acts 9:5, Acts 4:12, Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11, Matthew 1:23, Ephesians 4:5, Colossians 2:8-9, II Corinthians 5:19)

mouth.

Hebrews 1:1-3 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

Matthew 16:18. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Jesus explains to Peter that since he understood that he is the Christ, he also wanted him to understand that he is the rock and he will build the church upon the words of Peter which is the gospel message about his name, the rock, in Acts 2:38 – Repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. “The gospel of Christ,” Acts 4:11-12. Verse 11. Jesus is the stone which was set at nought of you builders which is become the head of the corner. Verse 12. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

Psalms 18:31. For who is God save the Lord? Or who is a rock save our God?

Note: This scripture is revisited because it clearly shows that Jesus is God in his Spiritual form before he was born and he is the rock of our salvation in the flesh as The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In other words, God has a dual nature, he is both God in the Spirit and Man in the flesh (Colossians 2:9).
