This aspect of the doctrine of Christ is most attacked by the heretical doctrines. As a general rule, every apostate doctrine establishes as its basic disclosure that Jesus is not God. They recognize a prophetic aspect, and even a heavenly aspect, but deny its divine nature and essence. The reason is obvious; all heretical doctrine operates under the demonic intention.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² The same was in the beginning with God. John 1:1, 12:

---

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: ⁶ Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: Philippians 2:5, 6

Jesus is God. Let’s see the testimony of Jesus himself,

I and my Father are one. … ³⁶ Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?  … ³⁸But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.            John 10:30-38

Therefore, only those who recognize, accept and submit to the doctrine of Christ are the only ones, who can overcome the world and are not subject to Satan,

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? … ²⁰ And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.  1^st. John 5:5

The name of Jesus is written, and described, throughout the Old Testament.

In the scriptures of the Mosaic Law, the name of Jesus is presented in coded form. We see it in the revelation that Moses receives from God around his name.

And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. Exodus 3:15

God reveals Himself to Moses as, I am that I am (אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה),[1] and as, The LORD (יְהוָה).[2]

The name of the Messiah appears in the conjugation of both names. If we join both names, we have: Jehovah, I am that I am.

In that union of names appears the name of Jesus in codified form, let’s see it. Observe, the names of Joshua and Jesus are written as follows:

יְהוֹשֻׁעַ        Joshua ישוע          Jesus

Let us return again to the image of the union of the names, with which the Lord reveals himself to Moses,

אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה יְהוָה  Jehovah I am that I am

The name of Jesus is integrated into the words of the name with which God revealed himself to Moses.

The name of Jesus is presented in the book of Psalms in a prophetic way. Let’s review, for example, Psalm 20, verses 5 and 6.

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. ⁶Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

In verse 5, the term, salvation; and in verse 6, saving, they are written in Hebrew in the following way, respectively:

• בִּ֮ישׁ֤וּעָתֶ֗ךָ

• יֵ֣שַׁע

The root of both words is the same: ישׁועת

Now, remember how the names of Joshua and Jesus are written.

יְהוֹשֻׁעַ    Joshua

ישוע     Jesus

If we compare the terms of salvation in Psalm 20 that we have highlighted and compare them with the structure of the names of Joshua and Jesus, we will see that the terms are the same.

Now, let’s change the word salvation, for its prophetic meaning, Jesus; and let us also change the name by which the Lord revealed himself to Moses, and we will read,

⁵We will rejoice in thy Jesus, and in the name of our I am that I am we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. ⁶Now know I that the LORD Jesus his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the Jesus strength of his right hand.

As we see, the name of Jesus was prophesied by David in his psalms, and confirmed by the angels who proclaimed him from heaven the night when Jesus was born.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11

Another example is Psalm 3,

Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. Psalm 3:8

Let’s change the word salvation by its meaning, and we have,

Jesus belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. Psalm 3:8

Compare the text of these two psalms with what the apostle Paul wrote in his epistle to the Ephesians:

And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Ephesians 1:19

The apostle Paul is writing in the same terms as the psalmist. The apostle is speaking about the name of God. All this means that David was prophesying about the arrival of who would establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

So, the name of Jesus comes from the name of God that is revealed to Moses, which is the evidence that Jesus is God.

¹⁰Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. ¹¹Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. Juan 14:10, 11
