Who is Jehovah, The Father or the Son?

Who is Jehovah? When I ask this question  I mean to say, who is Jehovah in personality? Is it the Father or the Son? Now we know that both are called Jehovah in the bible (Genesis 19:24) see below:

"Then Jehovah rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven;"

The Jehovah in heaven was the Father and the Jehovah on the earth was the Son. Remember, Jesus represented his Father in visible and audible manifestations as no one can see the Father and live. So when one saw or heard Jesus speak it was the same as seeing and hearing the Father. After all Jesus is called "the Word of God (Jehovah)".

Jesus also has his Father's name in him (Exodus 23:21):

"Take ye heed before him, and hearken unto his voice; provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgression: for my name is in him"

The above passage is in reference to the Jehovah's Angel. Paul confirms this in 1 Corinthians 10:1-4:

"[1] For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;[2]and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;[3]and did all eat the same spiritual food;[4]and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ"

Jesus hebrew name "Jehoshua" bears the prefix of his Father's name (Jeho) and it means "the salvation of Jehovah". So Jesus is not Jehovah in personality but rathet the salvation of Jehovah and the Angel  (messenger) of Jehovah. Salvation and messenger, clearly two functions that Jesus fufills.

John 5:43 (KJV)

43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

Jesus came in his Father's name (Jehovah).

One scripture in the old testament makes crystal clear who Jehovah is and it is found in Isaiah 64:8:

"But now, O Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand."

There is is!!! Clear as day Jehovah is the Father!

If that weren't enough we also find the answer in the book of John and Joel.

John 14:26 (KJV)

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

So Jesus makes it clear that it is the Father who sends the Holy Spirit. There can be no doubt about that. Let’s now go to Joel chapter 2:

Joel 2:27-29 [27]And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God, and there is none else; and my people shall never be put to shame.[28]And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:[29]and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit.

This passage above erases all doubt about who Jehovah is. In verse 27, Jehovah makes it crystal clear that there is none else that is God, making the crystal clear claim that He is God in singularity. Some will try to apply multiple divine beings in this statement however read verses 28 and 29 and you will see who Jehovah really is. This Jehovah is the one who pours out the Holy Spirit on all flesh, who Jesus himself said would be the Father in John 14:26. This passage without a doubt proves that Jehovah is the Father and that he alone is God whicj agrees with Jesus statement in John 17:3:

 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."

Jehovah is the one true God and he is the Father according to the inspired word of God.

Exodus 20:2-3 [2]I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.[3]Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

The Shema!

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 [4]Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah:[5]and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Jesus qouting the Shema!

Mark 12:28-34 (KJV)

28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

Be like Jesus and believe in One Living God!
