There can be no doubt that this was a vision of God. Let us consider the testimony of two witnesses:

HEZEKIAH - `O LORD of hosts,

God of Israel, that dwellest between the Cherubims,

THOU ART THE GOD,

THOU ALONE' (Isa. 37:16).

(Quoting Isa. 6:9,10) - `These things said Esaias (Isaiah), when he saw His (Christ's) glory, and spake of

Him' (John 12:41).

Scripture declares that the Lord of Hosts is THE God, John declares that the Lord of Hosts is Christ. Your

teachers, whose doctrine you have renounced, told you that John taught that Christ was A God, but not THE God!

A - They did, and I believed them, denying the very Lord that bought me.

B - Not only have we definite quotation, but the fact that `Jehovah' and `Jesus' are one and the same is assumed

on every hand. Isaiah 40:3 says:

`The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a

highway for our God'.

The Gospels declare that John the Baptist is `the voice', and that he was sent to prepare the way for Christ, Who

is both Lord and God.

The Lord is the God of Israel. He that dwelt between the Cherubim was no God in a subordinate sense. He is

confessed as the God of Israel, the God alone of all the kingdoms of earth, the maker of heaven and earth (Isa.

37:16). Solomon confessed that this same God was not limited to Israel or the temple, saying:

`But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain Thee'

(1 Kings 8:27).

I want you to see clearly that any reservation in the mind as to the full Deity of Christ blights the faith and is

unscriptural. Take the title `Saviour' in Titus:

`According to the commandment of God our Saviour' (1:3). `Adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour' (2:10).

`Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing (appearing of the glory) of the great God and our

Saviour Jesus Christ' (2:13).

`The love of God our Saviour toward man' (3:4).

`Through Jesus Christ our Saviour' (3:6).

The title `Saviour' is used of `God' and `the Lord Jesus Christ' without distinction. Further, here we have a

definite statement, that Christ is `The Great God and our Saviour'. Not only is Christ here called `The Great God',

but Psalm 78:35 says:

`God was their rock, and the HIGH GOD their redeemer'.

That redeemer was Christ. In verse 56 the same title comes again:

`They tempted and provoked the MOST HIGH GOD'.

They tempted Christ.

A - How do you know that?

B - 1 Corinthians 10:9 says:

`Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted'.

In 1 Corinthians 10:4 we also find, `That rock was Christ' which looks to Psalm 78:35. There can be no good

done by lengthening this study. You have your Bible, and you may add to the passages already brought forward.
