"Blessed be THE GOD OF ISRAEL, the whole earth shall be filled with his glory." lxxii. 18, 19. Besides other passages, where the Lord is called the God of Israel, Redeemer and Savior, as Luke i. 47. Isaiah xlv. 15. liv. 5. Psalm lxxviii. 35. And in many other places, where He is only called the God of Israel, as Isaiah xvii. 6. xxi. 10. 17. Jer. vii. 3. ix. 15. xi. 3. xiii. 12. xxiii. 2. xxiv. 5. xxv. 15. 27. xxix. xxxi. 23. xxxii. 14, 15. 36. xxxiii. xxxv. 13. 17-19. xxxvii. 7. xxxviii. xxxix. 16. xlii. 9. 15. 18. xliii. 10. xliv. 2. 7. 11. xlviii. 1. 1. 18. li. 33.

40. III. THAT THE LORD IS CALLED THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, is manifest from these. "The angel said to Mary, THE HOLY THING that shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God." Luke i. 45. "I was seeing in visions, and lo, a watcher, and a HOLY ONE came down from heaven." Daniel iv. 13. "God came from Teman, and THE HOLY ONE from mount Paran." Hab. iii. 3. "I am Jehovah your HOLY ONE, the Creator of Israel, your King." Isaiah xliii. 15. "Thus saith Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, his HOLY ONE." xlix. 7. "I am Jehovah thy God, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, thy Savior." xliii. 3. "As for our Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts is his name, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL." xlvii. 4. "Thus saith Jehovah your Redeemer, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL." xliii. 14. xlviii. 17. "Jehovah of hosts is his name, and thy Redeemer THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL." liv. 5. "They tempted God, and limited THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL." Psalm lxxviii. 41. " They have forsaken Jehovah, and provoked THE HOLY ONE of Israel.' Isaiah i. 4. 66 They say, Cause THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL to cease from before us; therefore thus saith THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL." xxx. 11, 12. They say, Let Him hasten his work, that we may see it, and let the counsel of THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL draw nigh and come." v. 19. "In that day they shall stay upon Jehovah, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, in truth." x. 20. 66 Cry out, and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion, for great is THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL in the midst of thee." xii. 6. 66 'Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, In

66

that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL." xvii. 6, 7. "The meek also shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the poor among men shall rejoice in THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL." xxix. 9. xli. 26. "Nations shall run unto thee, on account of Jehovah thy God, and on account of THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL." lv. 5. "The isles shall wait for Me, to bring thy sons from far, to the name of Jehovah thy God, and to THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL." lx. 9. Babylon hath been proud against Jehovah, against THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL." Jer. 1. 29; besides many other passages. th: Holy one of Israel is meant the Lord as to the Divine Human; for the angel Gabriel said to Mary, "THE HOLY THING that shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God." Luke i. 35. That Jehovah, and the Holy One of Israel are one, although they are distinctly named, is also evident from the places here cited, in which it is said, that Jehovah is the Holy One of Israel.

By

41. IV. THAT THE LORD IS CALLED LORD AND GOD, is manifest from so many passages, that if quoted, they would fill pages; these few may suffice. In John; "When

Thomas, by the command of the Lord, had seen his hands and touched his side, he said, MY LORD AND MY GOD." XX. 27, 28. In David; "They remembered that God was their Rock, and THE HIGH GOD THEIR REDEEMER." Psalm lxxviii. 35. In Isaiah; "Jehovah of hosts is his name, and THY REDEEMER, the Holy One of Israel, THE GOD OF THE WHOLE EARTH SHALL HE BE CALLED." liv..5. This also is manifest from the fact, that they worshipped Him, and fell down on their faces before Him. Matthew ix. 18. xiv. 33. xv. 25 xxviii. 9. Mark i. 40. v. 22. vii. 25. x. 17. Luke xvii. 15, 16. And in David; "We heard of Him at Ephratah-let us go into his tabernacles, let us bow down at his foot. stool." Psalm cxxxii. 15, 16. Also the Lord is worshipped in heaven, as it is said in Revelation; "I was in the spirit, and lo, a throne was set in heaven, and on the throne one sat that was like a jasper and a sardine stone; and a rainbow around the throne in sight like to an emerald. And the four and twenty elders fell down before Him who sat on the throne, and worshipped Him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne." iv. 2, 3. 10. And in another place; "I saw in the right hand of Him that sat on the throne, a book written within, and on the back side, sealed with seven seals, and no one could open it. Then

one of the elders said, Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose its seven seals. And I saw in the midst of the throne, a Lamb standing; He came and took the book; and they fell down before the Lamb, and worshipped Him that liveth for ever and ever." v. 1. 5—8. 14.

42. V. THAT THE LORD IS CALLED KING AND THE ANOINTED, is because He was the Messiah or Christ, and Messiah or Christ signifies King and Anointed. Thence it is, that the Lord is also meant in the Word by king, and also by David, who was king over Judah and over Israel. That the Lord is called King, and the Anointed of Jehovah, is evident from many passages of the Word; therefore it is said in the Revelation, "The Lamb shall overcome them, for he is LORD OF LORDS, AND KING OF KINGS." xvii. 14. And in another place; "And He that sat on the white horse had on his vesture a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." xix. 16. It is from the Lord's being called a King, that heaven and the church are called his kingdom, and that his coming into the world is called the gospel of the kingdom. That heaven and the church are called his kingdom, may be seen in Matthew xii. 28. xvi. 28. Mark i. 14, 15. ix. 1. xv. 43. Luke i. 33. iv. 43. viii. 1. 10. ix. 2. 11. 60. x. 11. xix. 11. xxi. 31. xxii. 18. xxiii. 51. And in Daniel; "God will set up a kingdom, which will not perish for ages; it will break up and consume all other kingdoms, but it will stand for ages." ii. 44. In the same; "I was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, with the clouds of the heavens, as it were, the Son of Man was coming. And to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, and all people, nations and tongues, shall worship Him. His dominion is the dominion of an age, and his kingdom one which will not perish." vii. 13, 14. 27. That his coming is called the gospel of the kingdom, may be seen in Matthew iv. 23. ix. 35. xxiv. 14.

43. VI. THAT THE LORD IS CALLED DAVID, IS MANIFEST FROM THESE PASSAGES. "In that day they shall serve Jehovah their God, and David their King, whom I will raise up to them." Jer. xxx. 9. "Then the children of Israel shall return and seek Jehovah their God, and David their King, and shall come with fear to Jehovah, and to his goodness in the latter days." Hosea iii. 5. "And I will

set up one Shepherd over them, and He shall feed them, even my servant David; He shall feed them, and He shall

be their Shepherd and I Jehovah will be their God, and David a Prince in the midst of them." Ezek. xxiv. 23, 24. "That they may be my people, and I may be their God; David my servant shall be King over them; that they all may have one Shepherd; then they shall dwell in the land, they and their children and their children's children for ever; and David shall be their Prince for ever; and I will make a covenant of peace with them, it shall be an everlasting covenant with them." xxvii. 23-26. "I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Behold I have given Him for a witness to the people, a Prince and Lawgiver to the nations." Isaiah lv. 3, 4. "In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up its breaches, and I will repair its ruins, and build it as in the days of old." Amos ix. 11. "The house of David shall be as God, as the angel of Jehovah before them." Zech. xii. 8. “In that day there shall be a fountain open to the house of David." iii. 1.

44. He who knows that the Lord is meant by David, may know why David, in his Psalms, wrote so often concerning the Lord, when concerning himself, as in Psalm lxxxix. where are these words; "I have made a covenant with my Chosen, I have sworn to David my Servant; thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to generation and generation; and the heavens shall praise thy wonders, also thy truth in the congregation of the saints. Thou didst speak in vision to thy Holy One, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty, I have exalted one chosen out of the people: I have found David my Servant, with my holy oil have I anointed Him: with Him my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen Him: My truth and my mercy shall be with Him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted. I will set his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. He shall cry unto Me, Thou art my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation: also I will make Him my first-born, higher than the kings. of the earth. My covenant shall stand fast with Him. His seed also I will make to endure for ever; and his throne as the days of heaven. Once have I sworn by my holiness, that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall be for ever, and his throne as the sun before Me: it shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven." 3-5. 19-21. 24-29. 35-37; so also in other Psalms, as xlv. 2-17. cxxii. 4, 5. cxxxii. 8-18.

THAT GOD IS ONE, AND THAT THE LORD IS THAT GOD.

45. From the numerous passages adduced from the Word, in the preceding article, it may be evident, that the Lord is called Jehovah, the God of Israel and of Jacob, the Holy One of Israel, the Lord and God, as also King, the Anointed, and David; from which it may be seen, but as yet as through a glass, that the Lord is God himself, from whom and concerning whom the Word is. It is, however, known in all the world, that God is one; nor does any man, who has sound reason, deny it: it remains, therefore, now to confirm it from the Word, and moreover, that the Lord is that God.

I. THAT GOD IS ONE, is confirmed by these passages of the Word; "Jesus said, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel, THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD; and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul." Mark xii. 29, 30. "Hear, O Israel, JEHOVAH OUR GOD IS ONE JEHOVAH; and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul." Deut. vi. 4, 5. "One came to Jesus and said, Good master, what good shall I do, that I may have eternal life? Jesus said to him, Why callest thou Me good; no one is good but THE ONE GOD." Matthew xix. 16, 17. "That all the kingdoms of the earth may know, that THOU ART JEHOVAH, THOU ALONE." Isaiah xxxvii. 20. "I AM JEHOVAH, AND THERE IS NONE ELSE; THERE IS NO GOD BESIDE ME. That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from its setting, that there is NO GOD BESIDE ME; I AM JEHOVAH, AND THERE IS NONE ELSE." xlv. 5, 6. "O Jehovah of hosts, God of Israel, who dwellest between the cherubim, THOU ART GOD, THOU ALONE, over all the kingdoms of the earth." xxxvii. 16. "Is there a God beside Me, and a Rock? I know not any." xliv. 8. "Who is God except Jehovah, and who is a Rock but our God." Psalm xviii. 31.

66

II. THAT THE LORD IS THAT GOD, is confirmed by these passages of the Word. Surely God is in thee, AND THERE IS NONE BESIDES, NO GOD. Verily Thou art a God that hidest Thyself, O God of Israel, THE SAVIOR." Isaiah xlv. 14, 15. "Am not I Jehovah, and THERE IS NO GOD ELSE BESIDE ME, a just God and A SAVIOR, THERE IS
