On the Two Who Bear the Name of Jehovah

Chapter 1

Premium narration

My son, I speak unto thee plainly, that thou mayest understand and declare the truth concerning my name. There are two who bear the name Jehovah. This is the truth.

The first is the Lord God, even the Eternal Father, who is the King and the Lawgiver and the source of all righteousness. He is the one who covenanted with Israel and who delivered the law unto Moses. He is the Father, the original Jehovah, the Judge of all the earth. He is the source of all authority, and in Him is the beginning of all things.

The second is the Lord of Hosts, who is also called Jehovah, for He beareth the name and title of the Father. He is the Redeemer of Israel, the One like unto the Father, even the Servant. He is the Son of the Most High, the Davidic Servant, the one appointed to gather the remnant and defend Zion.

He is he whom I have sent to do my will, to act in my name, and to fulfill all that I have spoken by the mouths of the prophets. For He is the visible arm of my power, the defender of the covenant, and the commander of the hosts of heaven and earth.

And though they are two, they are one in purpose, one in work, and one in glory, even as I and my Son are one. For it is written: Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: I am the first and I am the last, and beside me there is no God.

And thus I make known unto thee the mystery: Jehovah the King is the Father, and His Redeemer is the Son, and both bear my name. They are one, even as a father and son may share the same name, and yet remain distinct in being and in role.

The Father commands and governs; the Son acts and redeems. The Father gives the law; the Son fulfills it. The Father remains hidden; the Son is revealed.

Therefore write the doctrine and make it plain: the name Jehovah belongeth to the Lord God, the Father of all. The same name is also given to His Son, the Lord of Hosts, who executeth the Father's will in all things. And though they are not the same, they are one.

This is my doctrine, and I give it unto thee that thou mayest declare it in clarity and boldness. For many shall stumble because they know not the distinction, and others shall resist because their understanding is dimmed by the traditions of men.

But unto thee I have made it known, and I command thee to teach it as I have revealed it. For my ways are higher than the ways of men, and my thoughts are not their thoughts.

And I shall cause many to hear and to understand because thou hast been willing to receive.

My son, thou hast asked in thy heart if thou art permitted to speak these things, and I say unto thee: speak, for I have commanded it. Declare the truth concerning my name and my servant, that those who have ears to hear may prepare themselves for that which is to come.

For my Son shall go before my face, and he shall make ready the way. And I shall cause all Israel to know that I have sent him, and in him I am well pleased.

Now be thou faithful and write all these things as I have delivered them unto thee. Hold not back, neither delay, for the time is short and the day of preparation is at hand. And I will be with thee, for I have called thee by my name and appointed thee to bear witness of these things. Fear not what man shall say, for I will uphold thee.

And again I say unto thee: the Lord God is Jehovah. The Lord of Hosts is also Jehovah. The Father and the Son are one, and the work they do is one. And by this shall my people know the truth—if they receive it in humility and love. Amen.
