Jehovah’s Sovereignty Over Creation

Scripture affirms Jehovah as the sole Creator and Ruler:

“To Jehovah your God belong the heavens… and the earth with all that is in it.” — Deuteronomy 10:14

“Yours is the kingdom, O Jehovah… You are the One exalting yourself as head over all.” — 1 Chronicles 29:11

“For you, O Jehovah, are the Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all other gods.” — Psalm 97:9

“Jehovah has firmly established his throne in the heavens; And his kingship rules over everything.” — Psalm 103:19

These verses establish Jehovah’s unrivaled dominion over all things. He is the one enthroned in heaven, ruling over creation with unmatched authority.

Jesus Christ: The Divine King Who Reigns from Heaven

“All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.” — Matthew 28:18

“He is the head over all government and authority.” — Colossians 2:10

“He is Lord of lords and King of kings.” — Revelation 17:14

“The Ruler of the kings of the earth.” — Revelation 1:5

“He made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father.” — Revelation 1:6

Paul affirms that Jesus is seated at the right hand of God, far above every name and power, and that all things are subjected under his feet (Ephesians 1:19–23). This is not the language of a subordinate being—it is the language of divine supremacy.

Jesus Described as God and Lord

“Our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” — Titus 2:13

“Thomas said to him, ‘My Lord and my God.’” — John 20:28

“To me every knee will bend, every tongue will swear loyalty.” — Isaiah 45:23

“At the name of Jesus every knee should bend… and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” — Philippians 2:10–11

“To you I raise my eyes, You who are enthroned in the heavens… So our eyes look to Jehovah our God.” — Psalm 123:1–2

These declarations are not metaphorical—they reflect the early Christian belief that Jesus shares the divine identity of Jehovah. The same homage given to Jehovah in the Old Testament is now directed toward Jesus in the New Testament.

The Son’s Exaltation and Servanthood

“He emptied himself and took a slave’s form.” — Philippians 2:7

“The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve.” — Mark 10:45

“I am among you as the one serving.” — Luke 22:27

“Jesus… laid aside his outer garments… and started to wash the feet of the disciples.” — John 13:3–5

Jesus humbled himself in obedience, and was exalted to divine glory. His servanthood was voluntary, and his exaltation was a return to the glory he shared with the Father before the world existed (John 17:5).

Jesus as Jehovah, the Immutable Creator

Psalm 102 describes Jehovah as eternal and unchanging:

“Long ago you laid the foundations of the earth… But you are the same, and your years will never end.” — Psalm 102:25–27

Hebrews 1 applies this directly to Jesus:

“At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth… But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.” — Hebrews 1:10–12

This passage affirms that Jesus is the unchangeable Creator—identical in nature to Jehovah. The Father himself speaks these words about the Son, confirming his divine identity and eternal nature.

Jesus as Judge and Redeemer

“The Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son.” — John 5:22

“We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 5:10

“The Son of Man is to come in the glory of his Father… and then he will repay each one according to his behavior.” — Matthew 16:27

Jesus is not only the Creator and King—he is also the Judge of all humanity. This role belongs to Jehovah alone in the Old Testament, yet is fulfilled by Jesus in the New Testament. This reinforces the conclusion that Jesus is Jehovah in human form.

Moreover, Jesus is the Redeemer who gave his life as a ransom for many. He is the Lamb who was slain, the one who purchased people for God with his blood (Revelation 5:9). These are divine acts, not the work of a mere messenger.

Jesus: The Visible Image of the Invisible God

“He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact representation of His very being.” — Hebrews 1:3

“Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.” — John 14:9

“The Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing… For whatever things that One does, these things the Son does also in like manner.” — John 5:19

Jesus is not a lesser being imitating God—He is the full expression of God’s nature in human form. His works, words, and authority mirror the Father perfectly.
