Is Jesus Christ God?

According to the Hebrew scriptures and teachings of the prophets, only God Himself is capable of becoming the Savior of all humanity. Only Yahweh qualifies to bear the titles; the Lord, Savior, Creator and Redeemer. These titles belong exclusively to God alone, however they directly correspond the Yeshua Messiah. This connection proves conclusively that Yeshua is Lord.

Take note of the following scripture:



1 Chronicles 16:35 (NIV), 'Cry out, "Save us, O God our Savior; gather us and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name, that we may glory in your praise."
Psalm 79:9, 'Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgiveour sins for your name's sake'.
Isaiah 45:17 (NIV), "But Israel will be saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation..."
Isaiah 45:18, 'For this is what the LORD says— he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited— he says: "I am the LORD, and there isno other.'
Isaiah 45: 21-22 (NIV), "...Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from the distant past? Was it not I, the Lord? And there is no God apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior;
Isaiah 45:22 (NIV) “Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other."
I Timothy 1:17 (NIV) 'Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen'.
Exodus 15:2 (NIV), 'The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is myGod, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.'
Joshua 24:23, (NIV), "Now then," said Joshua, "throw away the foreign gods that are among you and yield your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel."
2 Samuel 22:32 (NIV), 'For who is God besides the LORD ? And who is the Rock except our God?'
Isaiah 45:5, "I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me,..."

The Incarnation of God




According to the Hebrew scriptures and writings of Jewish mystics, the Messiah was the very Shekinah {glory} of Almighty God manifested in the flesh.

Here is a brief explanation of Shekinah, not from a Christian perspective but a Hebraic perspective. This is what the Hebrew prophets and apostles understood and believed about Shekinah.

The Zohar proclaims that the Shekinah is also 'Kneset Yisrael', the mystical community of Israel, the Holy community, Zion and that all of Israel are her limbs (Zohar 3:231b). thus the Church, the New Israel, is the Shekinah seen as Bride of God. The shekinah as the Eucharistic Presence is so connected with the Church, that both are seen as Shekinah. The Church possesses the glory and brings it forth through the Presence of the Holy Spirit in covenant union with Lord.

(See: Soncino Zohar, Shemoth, Section 2, Page 51a) - For thus said R. Simeon: "The Holy One prepared for Himself a holy Palace, a supernal Palace, a holy City, a supernal City, which is called ‘Jerusalem, the holy city’. He who wishes to see the King, must enter through this holy City and thence take his way to the King: ‘this is the gate of the Lord into which the righteous shall enter.’

Revelation 21:22-23, 'And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.'

In otherwords, Messiah was the very splendor, essence, power, divinity and goodness of Almighty God - manifested in a human body.:

Hebrews 1:1-8

"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; (8) ...unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever..."

(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".

Commentary: We notice from the text several important points; God speaks to humanity in these last days through the Son. Secondly, the Son of God has been appointed heir (possessor of all the assets) of all things. Thirdly, He is was the Maker of the worlds, and His throne is everlasting. Finally, saint Pauls drops a bombshell revelation on us. He tells us that the Christ is - the brightness of YHWH's glory and the express image of His person.

I Timothy 3:16 (New King James Version)

16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

God[a] was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.
