lattice from the passages of the Word that were cited above, in the first chapter (n. 1-6), and from those which will now be adduced concerning the Lord, showing that He is so many times called Lord and God; from this, however, may shine forth the truth that it is He Who spake by the prophets, by whom it is everywhere said, Jehovah spake, Jehovah said, and the saying of Jehovah.

THAT THE LORD WAS, BEFORE HIS COMING INTO THE WORLD, is manifest from these passages. John the Baptist said of the Lord, He it is Who is to come after me, WHO WAS BEFORE me; the latchet of Whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose. This is He of Whom I said, He That cometh after me, Who was before me, and Who was prior to me (John i. 27, 30). In the Apocalypse: The four and twenty elders fell down before the throne, upon which was the Lord, saying, We give Thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, Who art, and WHO WAST, and Who art to come (xi. 16, 17). Also in Micah: Thou Bethlehem Ephratah, it is but little that thou art among the thousands of Judah: out of thee shall come forth to Me He Who shall be ruler in Israel, and Whose goings-forth HAVE BEEN FROM OF OLD, FROM THE DAYS OF ETERNITY (v. 2). Also, from the Lord's words in the Evangelists, that He was before Abraham ; that He had glory with the Father before the foundation of the world; that He came forth from the Father; and that from the beginning the Word was with God, and that the Word was God, and that this became Flesh. That the Lord is called Jehovah, the God of Israel and of Jacob, the Holy One of Israel, God and Lord, also King, the Anointed of Jehovah, and David, may be evident from what follows.

38. (1.) THAT Tthe Lord is called JEHOVAH is manifest from these passages: Thus saith JEHOVAH thy Creator, O Facob, and thy Former, O Israel: Fear not; for I have REDEEMED thee. I am JEHOVAH, thy God; the Holy One of Israel, thy SAVIOUR (Isa. xliii. 1, 3). I am JEHOVAH, your Holy One; the CREATOR of Israel, your King (Isa. xliii. 15).

Thus saith JEHOVAH, the Holy One of Israel, and his FORMER: Truly Thou art a God That hidest Thyself, O God of Israel, the SAVIOUR (xlv. 11, 15). That all flesh may know that I JEHOVAH am thy SAVIOUR and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob (xlix. 26). That thou mayest know that I JEHOVAH am thy SAVIOUR and thy REDEEMER, the Mighty One of Jacob (lx. 16). JEHOVAH, thy FORMER from the womb (xlix. 5). JEHOVAH, my Rock and my REDEEMER (Ps. xix. 14). Thus hath said JEHOVAH thy Maker, and FORMER from the womb. Thus hath said JEHOVAH, the King of Israel, and His REDEEMER, JEHOVAH ZEBAOTH (Isa. xliv. 2,6). As for our Redeemer, Jehovah Zebaoth is His name, the Holy One of Israel (xlvii. 4). With the mercy of eternity

will I have mercy on thee, saith JEHOVAH thy REDEEMER (Isa. liv. 8). Their RedeemeR IS STRONG: JEHOVAH ZEBAOTH IS HIS NAME (Jer. 1. 34). JEHOVAH is my rock, my fortress: God is the horn of my salvation, my SAVIOUR (2 Sam. xxii. 2, 3). Thus saith JEHOVAH, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel (Isa. xliii. 14; xlviii. 17). Thus saith JEHOVAH, the REDEEMER of Israel, his Holy One: Kings shall see (xlix. 7). I am JEHOVAH, and beside Me there is no Saviour (xliii. 11). Am not I JEHOVAH? and there is none else beside Me, and there is no SAVIOUR beside Me: look unto Me, THAT YE MAY BE SAVED, all ye ends of the earth (xlv. 21, 22). I am JEHOVAH, thy God; and there is no SAVIOUR beside Me (Hos. xiii. 4). Thou hast REDEEMED me, O JEHOVAH, God of truth (Ps. xxxi. 5). Let Israel hope in JEHOVAH; for with JEHOVAH there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous REDEMPTION. He shall REDEEM ISrael from all his iniquities (cxxX. 7, 8). JEHOVAH ZEBAOTH is His name; and thy REDEEMER, the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth, shall He be called (Isa. liv. 5). In these passages, Jehovah is called Redeemer and Saviour; and, as the Lord alone is the Redeemer and Saviour, it is He Who is meant by Jehovah. That the Lord is Jehovah, that is, that Jehovah is the Lord, is also

manifest from these passages: There shall come forth a Rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch out of his roots shall bear fruit; and the SPIRIT OF JEHOVAH shall rest upon Him (Isa. xi. 1, 2). And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God, we have waited for Him, that He may save us; this is JEHOVAH, we have waited for Him; let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation (xxv. 9). The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye a way for JEHOVAH, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. For the GLORY OF JEHOVAH shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. Behold, THE LORD JEHOVIH cometh in strength, and His arm shall rule for Him (Isa. xl. 3, 5, 10). I JEHOVAH will give Thee for a covenant to the people, for a light of the nations. I am JEHOVAH, this is My name; and MY GLORY WILL I NOT GIVE TO ANOTHER (xlii. 6, 8). Behold the days, when I shall raise up to David a just Branch, Who shall reign King, and shall prosper, and shall do judgment and justice in the earth; and this is His name by which they shall call Him, JEHOVAH OUR JUSTICE (Jer. xxiii. 5, 6; xxxiii. 15, 16). Thou Bethlehem Ephratah, out of thee shall come forth to Me He Who is to be Ruler in Israel: He shall stand and feed in THE STRENGTH OF JEHOVAH (Mic. v. 2, 4). Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, upon Whose Shoulder shall be the government; and His name shall be called God, Mighty, THE FATHER OF ETERNITY: of the increase of His government there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, to order and to establish it in judgment and justice, from henceforth even for · ever (Isa. ix. 6, 7). JEHOVAH shall go forth and fight against the nations; and His feet shall stand upon the Mount of Olives before the face of Jerusalem (Zech. xiv. 3, 4). Lift up your heads, ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; * that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? JEHOVAH strong and mighty, JEHOVAH mighty in battle (Ps. xxiv. 7-10.) In that day shall JEHOVAH ZEBAOTH be for a crown of splendor and for a diadem of beauty to the residue

* The Latin here reads ostia mundi, doors of the world.

of His people (Isa. xxviii. 5). I will send you Elijah the Prophet before the coming of the great DAY OF JEHOVAH (Mal. iv. 5). Besides other places, where it is said the day of Fehovah, great and near, &c.: as Ezek. xxx. 3; Joel ii. 11; Amos v. 18, 20; Zeph. i. 7, 14, 15, 18.

39. (2.) THAT THE LORD Is called the GOD OF ISRAEL AND THE GOD OF JACOB is manifest from these passages: Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you. And they saw THE GOD OF ISRAEL; under Whose feet was, as it were, a work of sapphire-stone, and as it were the substance of heaven (Exod. xxiv. 8-10). The multitudes wondered when they saw the dumb speaking, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified THE God of IsRAEL (Matt. xv. 31). Blessed be THE LORD GOD OF Israel; for He hath visited and made redemption for His people Israel, and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David (Luke i. 68, 69). I will give Thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that Thou mayest know that I Jehovah, Who have called Thee by Thy name, am THE GOD OF ISRAEL (Isa. xlv. 3). The house of Facob, who swear by the name of Jehovah, and of THE GOD OF ISRAEL: for they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon THE GOD OF ISRAEL; Jehovah Zebaoth is His name (xlviii. 1, 2). Facob shall see his children; in the midst of him they shall sanctify My name; and they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and fear THE GOD OF ISRAEL (xxix. 23). In the last days, many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Fehovah, to the house of THE GOD OF JACOB, Who will teach us of His ways, that we may walk in His paths (ii. 3; Mic. iv. 2). That all flesh may know that I, Fehovah, am thy Saviour, and thy REDEEMER THE MIGHTY ONE OF JACOB (Isa. xlix. 26). I Jehovah am thy Saviour, and thy REDEEMER THE MIGHTY ONE OF JACOB (lx. 16). Travail, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of THE GOD OF JACOB (Ps. cxiv.

7). David sware to Jehovah, and vowed to THE MIGHTY ONE OF JACOB: Surely I will not enter into the tabernacle of my house until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for THE MIGHTY ONE OF JACOB. We heard of Him in Ephratah (Bethlehem) (cxxxii. 2, 3, 5, 6). Blessed be THE GOD OF ISRAEL: all the earth shall be filled with His glory (lxxii. 18, 19). Besides other places, where the Lord is called the God of Israel, Redeemer and Saviour: as Luke i. 47; Isa. xlv. 15; liv. 5; Ps. lxxviii. 35. And in many other places, where He is only called the God of Israel: as Isa. xvii. 6; xxi. 10, 17; xxiv. 15; xxix. 23; Jer. vii. 3; ix. 15; xi. 3; xiii. 12; xvi. 9; xix. 3, 15; xxiii. 2; xxiv. 5; xxv. 15, 27; xxix. 4, 8, 21, 25; XXX. 2; xxxi. 23; xxxii. 14, 15, 36; xxxiii. 4; xxxiv. 2, 13; xxxv. 13, 17, 18, 19; xxxvii. 7; xxxviii. 17; xxxix. 16; xlii. 9, 15, 18; xliii. 10; xliv. 2, 7, 11, 25; xlviii. 1 ; l. 18; li. 33; Ezek. viii. 4; ix. 3; x. 19, 20; xi. 22; xliii. 2; xliv. 2; Zeph. ii. 9; Ps. xli. 13; lix. 5; lxviii. 8.

40. (3.) 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. 35). I was seeing in visions; and, lo, a watcher and a HOLY ONE coming down from heaven (Dan. iv. 13). God shall come from Teman, and THE HOLY ONE from Mount Paran (Hab. iii. 3). I am Jehovah, your HOLY ONE; the Creator of Israel, your King (Isa. xliii. 15). Thus saith Fehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, his HOLY ONE (xlix. 7). I am Jehovah thy God, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, thy Saviour (xliii. 3). As for our Redeemer, Jehovah Zebaoth is His name, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL (xlvii. 4). Thus saith Jehovah your Redeemer, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL (xliii. 14; xlviii. 17). Fehovah Zebaoth is His name, and thy Redeemer THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL (liv. 5). They tempted God, and limited THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL (Ps. lxxviii. 41). They have forsaken Jehovah, and provoked THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL (Isa. i. 4). They say, Cause
