No Other God
Isaiah 44:6-8 “Thus says the Lord Yᵊhōvâ, 1) the King of Israel, 2) Redeemer, 3) the Lord of hosts: 4) ‘I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God.
And who can 5) proclaim (tell the future) as I do? Then let him declare it and set it in order for Me, since I appointed the ancient people. And the things that are coming and shall come, Let them show these to them.
Do not fear, nor be afraid; Have I not told you from that time, and declared it?
You are My witnesses.
Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one.’ ”
Who is 1) the King of Israel?
Isaiah 44:6a “Thus says Yᵊhōvâ, the King of Israel,

Conclusion: Yᵊhōvâ is the King of Israel. In the New Testament Jesus Yeshua is the King of Israel. The sign above the cross declared Him “King of the Jews” in three languages.

- Hebrews 1:2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;

Is there a God ‘ĕlôha besides Me?
Indeed there is no other Rock (ṣûr); I know not one.’ ”
Note: Yehova is calling Himself ‘ĕlôha (from ‘ēl H410). Therefore; Yehova and ‘ĕlôha are the same.
- Gen 33:20 Then he erected an altar there and called it El Elohe Israel: ‘ēl ‘ĕlōhîm yiśrā’ēl.
Who is the “Rock of Israel”?
- Exodus 17:6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the Rock (ṣûr) in Horeb; and you shall strike the Rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
- 1 Corinthians 10:4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.
- 1 Samuel 2:2 “No one is holy like the Lord Yᵊhōvâ, For there is none beside You, Nor is there any Rock! like our God ‘ĕlōhîm.
- Yᵊhōvâ, the Rock, and ‘ĕlōhîm. are the same.
- 2 Samuel 22:47 “The Lord Yᵊhōvâ lives! Blessed be my Rock! (reference to diety) Let God ‘ĕlōhîm be exalted, The Rock of my Salvation (salvation Literally is the word Yeshua in Hebrew. In Greek it is Jesus)!
- Rock, ‘ĕlōhîm, and Yeshua are the same. Yeshua is the original Hebrew for the Greek name Jesus.
- Matthew 7:24 Build on the Rock – “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:
- Isaiah 8:14 He will be as a sanctuary, But a stone of stumbling and a Rock (ṣûr) of offense To both the houses of Israel, As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
- Romans 9:33 As it is written: “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, And whoever believes on Him (Jesus) will not be put to shame.”

Salvation literally means Yeshua (in Hebrew) (pronounced yesh-oo’-aw)
or Jesus (in Greek)
Psalm 110:1 the LORD Yᵊhōvâ said to my Lord ‘āḏôn.
In Psalm 110 Yᵊhōvâ is the Father and ‘āḏôn is the Son.
Notice that Jehovah (Yᵊhōvâ) is speaking to Adona āḏôn (a singular form of Adonai). As was mentioned earlier, when the word ‘Lord’ is used for God it is usually written in the plural form (Adonai), which is in harmony with the historic Christian doctrine of God’s Tri-une nature (Trinity). In this verse Psalm 110:1 Jehovah Yᵊhōvâ is speaking to a specific Person within the Trinity, so he uses the singular word for Lord. God is in fact speaking to God, or to state it from the perspective of the Apostle Peter’s sermon in Acts 2:32-36, the Father is speaking to His pre-incarnate Son, Jesus Christ.”

CONCLUSION: Jesus is in the Father and the Father is in Jesus.
God, in all parts of the Trinity, is God.
