Book of Isaiah: Proof that Jesus Christ is the one Lord God Almighty

Old Testament: Jehovah is God and his Name is Immanuel.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Isaiah 9:6. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

New Testament: Jesus is God and his Name is Emmanuel
Matthew 1:21-23. 21. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Verse 23. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Old Testament: God is the Father
Isaiah 9:6. 6. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

New Testament: Jesus is the Father
John 14:7-10. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him and have seen him. 8. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father. 10. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Jesus explains his dual nature. He explains to Philip that he doesn’t speak out of his flesh but out of his Spirit which is the Father within his body (Colossians 1:14-19, 2:9).

Old Testament: God the Creator
Isaiah 40:28. Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of his understanding.

Isaiah 44:24. Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself.

Isaiah 45:18. I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

New Testament: Jesus the Creator
Colossians 1:13-20. 13. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14. In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15. Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17. And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have preeminence. 19. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20. And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Old Testament: God is “I am he.”
Isaiah 41:4. Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.

Isaiah 43:10-13. 10.Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 11. I even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour. 12. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God. 13. Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? Jesus is the Lord and the only Saviour (John 8:24).

Isaiah 43:25. I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

John 8:23-24. 23. And he said unto them, ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 24. I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Note: This is a strong warning to those who don’t believe that Jesus is God.

John 18:5-8. 5. They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 6. As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. 7. Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 8. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

Old Testament: God is the Lord.
Isaiah 40:3, 5. 3. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 5. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Note: This scripture tells us that Jesus is the one Lord and he is also God himself. (I John 1:1-2).

New Testament: Jesus is the Lord
Matthew 3:3. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from the time, and have declared it? Ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? Yea, there is no God; I know not any.

Isaiah 48:12. Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called: I am he, I am the first, I also am the last.

Revelation 22:12-13. 12. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and last. Jesus declares that he is God, the first and last. We understand that the red letters in the Bible are Jesus’ spoken words. Look at this: Jesus is saying, he is God because only God can say, I am first and last.

Old Testament: God is our redeemer
Isaiah 41:14. Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

New Testament: Jesus is our redeemer

Old Testament: God is our Saviour.
Isaiah 43: 3, 11-13. Verse 3. For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. Verse 11. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour. Verse 12. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God. Verse 13.

Isaiah 49:26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

Philippians 3:20. 20. For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; 4. To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. In verse 3, Paul tells Titus that God is our Saviour and in verse 4, Paul tells Titus that Jesus is our Saviour. Therefore, Jesus is the only God and he is also our Saviour.

Titus 2:10, 13. Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 13. Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Note: In verse 13 of this scripture Paul assures Titus that Jesus Christ is both God and our Saviour. There is only One God and Saviour and his name is Jesus Christ. Remember God’s admonishment. Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.

Jude 1:25. To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Note: Without question, Jesus Christ is the only wise God and Saviour. The Jews were right, there is only one God and his name is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. If one would believe in the oneness of God, they cannot go wrong. The name of Jesus Christ is the personification of the oneness of God, the rock and foundation of our salvation.

Old Testament: God is the Holy One.
Isaiah 43:15. I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.

I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. God is saying that every knee will bow to him. God will reveal himself as Jesus Christ in the New Testament. (Philippians 2:10-11).

New Testament: Every knee shall bow to Jesus
Philippians 2:10-11. 10. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
