Of all the Old Testament prophets, perhaps Isaiah is the most noted for his many and detailed announcements regarding the coming of Messiah. Repeatedly he identifies this Messiah with Jehovah. Witness the following from Isaiah 8:13-15 and note the identity of this One with Jesus as recorded by Peter in his first epistle, chapter 2:7-8:
“Sanctify the LORD [Jehovah] of hosts Himself; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. And He shall be for . . . a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel...And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken.”
“Unto you therefore which believe He is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient.”
How patent is the conclusion from the above comparison that Jesus is Jehovah.
