L34.⑸主里面的神性和人身的完全合一通过十字架受难，也就是最后的试探实现。这一点在前面适当章节已经被证实，那里说明，主降世是为了征服地狱并荣耀祂的人身，十字架受难是最后的争战，祂通过这争战完全征服了地狱，也完全荣耀了祂的人身。由于主通过十字架受难完全荣耀了祂的人身，也就是将它与祂的神性合一，从而使祂的人身也变成神性，故可推知，祂在神性和人身两方面都是耶和华和神。
因此，在圣言的许多经文中，祂都被称为耶和华，神，以色列的圣者，救赎主，救主和形成者。如以下经文，路加福音：
马利亚说，我的灵魂尊主为大，我灵以神我的救主为乐。（路加福音1:46，47）
又：
天使对牧羊的人说，看哪！我报给你们大喜的信息，是关乎万民的。因今天在大卫的城里，为你们生了救主，就是主基督。（路加福音2:10，11）

他们说，这真是基督，世界的救主。（约翰福音4:42）

又：
耶和华你们的救赎主，以色列的圣者如此说，我是耶和华你们的圣者，是以色列的创造主、你们的王。（以赛亚书43:14，15）

必有一位救赎主来到锡安。（以赛亚书59:20）
又：
你便知道我耶和华是你的救主，是你的救赎主，雅各的大能者。（以赛亚书60:16）
又：
耶和华，就是那从母腹形成你的。（以赛亚书49:5）
诗篇：
耶和华我的磐石，我的救赎主啊！（诗篇19:14）
又：
他们也追念神是他们的磐石，至高的神是他们的救赎主。（诗篇78:35）
以赛亚书：
从母腹就形成你的，你的救赎主耶和华如此说。（以赛亚书44:24）
又：
我们救赎主，祂的名是万军之耶和华，以色列的圣者。（以赛亚书47:4）
又：
我却要以永远的怜悯怜悯你，这是耶和华你的救赎主说的。（以赛亚书54:8）
耶利米书：
他们的救赎主大有力量，万军之耶和华是祂的名。（耶利米书50:34）
诗篇：
以色列啊，你当仰望耶和华！因为在耶和华那里有怜悯，在祂那里有丰盛的救恩。祂必救赎以色列脱离一切的罪孽。（诗篇130:7，8）
撒母耳记下：
耶和华是我的岩石，我的堡垒；是拯救我的角，我的救主。（撒母耳记下22:2，3）
以赛亚书：
耶和华，以色列的救赎主，以色列的圣者如此说，君王要看见就站起，都因信实的耶和华，就是拣选你的以色列的圣者。（以赛亚书49:7）
又：
神真在你们中间，此外再没有别的！再没有别的神！救主以色列的神啊，你实在是自隐的神。（以赛亚书45:14，15）
又：
耶和华以色列的王，以色列的救赎主，万军之耶和华如此说，除我以外再没有神！（以赛亚书44:6）
又：
我是耶和华，除我以外没有救主。（以赛亚书43:11）
又：
不是我耶和华吗？除了我以外，再没有神！又是救主，除了我以外，再没有别的了！（以赛亚书45:21）
何西阿书：
我就是耶和华你的神。在我以外，你不可认识别神；除我以外并没有救主。（何西阿书13:4）
以赛亚书：
不是我耶和华吗？除了我以外，再没有神！又是公义的神和救主，除了我以外，再没有别的了！地极的人都当仰望我，就必得救。因为我是神，再没有别的。（以赛亚书45:21，22）
又：
万军之耶和华是祂的名；救赎你的是以色列的圣者，祂必称为全地之神。（以赛亚书54:5）
从这些经文可以看出，被称为“父”（在此被称为“耶和华”和“神”）的主之神性，和被称为“子”（在此被称为“救赎主”、“救主”，，以及“形成者”，意思是改造者和重生者）的神性人身，不是二，乃是一。因为经上不仅提到耶和华，神，以色列的圣者，救赎主和救主，还说“耶和华是救赎主，救主”，甚至说“我耶和华是救主，除我以外再没有别的”。由此很清楚地看出，主里面的神性和人性或人身是一个位格，人性或人身也是神性；
由此明显可知，主里面的神性与人性或人身是一个位格；这人性或人身也是神性；因为世人的救赎主和救主正是被称为子的神性人身方面的主。此外，救赎和拯构成适合祂人身或人性的属性，被称为功德和公义；因为忍受试探和十字架受难的，正是祂的人身；因此，祂正是凭借祂的人身救赎和拯救人类。
因此，既然祂里面的神性与人身合一，正如人的灵魂与身体合一之后，根据基督教界的教义，它们不再是两个位格，乃是一个位格，那么可知，主在神性和人性或人身方面都是耶和华和神。这就是为何经上有时说耶和华和以色列的圣者，救赎主和救主，有时说耶和华，救赎主和救主；这从所引用的经文可以看出来，其中我们读到：
救主基督。（路加福音2:11；约翰福音4:42）
神和以色列的神被称为救主和救赎主。（路加福音1:47；Isa. 45:15；54:5；诗篇78:35）
耶和华，以色列的圣者被称为救主和救赎主。（以赛亚书41:14；43:3，11，14，15；48:17；49:7；54:5）
耶和华，救主，救赎主，形成者。（以赛亚书44:6；47:4；49:26；54:8；63:16；诗篇19:14；130:7，8；撒母耳记下22:2，3）
耶和华神，救赎主和救主，除我以外，再没有别的。（以赛亚书43:11；44:6；45:14，15，21，22；何西阿书13:4）.
34. 5. The complete union of the divine nature and the human nature in him was effected by the suffering on the cross, which was his last trial.
Support for this proposition was provided above, in the chapter explaining that the Lord came into the world to subdue the hells and to glorify his human nature, and that the suffering on the cross was the last battle, by which he gained complete victory over the hells and completely glorified his human nature. Since, then, by suffering on the cross the Lord completely glorified his human nature-that is, united it to the divine nature-and thereby made his human nature divine as well, it follows that he is Jehovah and God in respect to both natures.
[2] That is why in so many passages in the Word Jehovah, God, or the Holy One of Israel is called the Redeemer, the Savior, or the Maker, as in the following:
Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God, my Savior.” (Luke 1:46-47)
The angel said to the shepherds, “Behold, I am bringing you good news, a great joy, which will be for all people. There is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:10-11)
They said, “This is truly the Savior of the world, the Christ.” (John 4:42)
I, Jehovah God, am helping you; your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 41:14)
Thus says Jehovah, who is your Creator, O Jacob, and your Maker, O Israel: “I have redeemed you. I am Jehovah your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.” (Isaiah 43:1, 3)
Thus says Jehovah your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, “I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.” (Isaiah 43:14-15)
Thus says Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and Israel’s Maker. (Isaiah 45:11)
Thus says Jehovah your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 48:17)
... so that all flesh may know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Isaiah 49:26)
Then he will come to Zion as the Redeemer. (Isaiah 59:20)
... so that you may know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Powerful One of Jacob. (Isaiah 60:16)
Jehovah, the one who formed you from the womb. (Isaiah 49:5)
... Jehovah, my Rock and my Redeemer. (Psalms 19:14)
They remembered that God was their Rock, and God on High their Redeemer. (Psalms 78:35)
Thus says Jehovah your Maker, and the one who formed you from the womb. (Isaiah 44:2)
As for our Redeemer, Jehovah Sabaoth is his name, the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 47:4)
“With everlasting compassion I will have mercy on you, ” says Jehovah, your Redeemer. (Isaiah 54:8)
Their Redeemer is strong; Jehovah is his name. (Jeremiah 50:34)
Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is mercy; with him there is abundant redemption. He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities. (Psalms 130:7-8)
Jehovah God is my rock, my fortress, the horn of my salvation, my Savior. (2 Samuel 22:2-3)
Thus says Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, Israel’s Holy One: “Monarchs will see and abide, because of Jehovah, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.” (Isaiah 49:7)
God is only among you, and there is no other God. Surely you are a hidden God, O God of Israel, the Savior. (Isaiah 45:14-15)
Thus says Jehovah the King of Israel, and Israel’s Redeemer, Jehovah Sabaoth: “There is no God other than me.” (Isaiah 44:6)
I am Jehovah, and there is no Savior other than me. (Isaiah 43:11)
Am I not Jehovah? And there is no [God] other than me; and there is no Savior other than me. (Isaiah 45:21)
I am Jehovah your God. You are to acknowledge no God other than me; there is no Savior other than me. (Hosea 13:4)
Am I not Jehovah? And there is no God other than me. I am a just God, and there is no Savior other than me. Look to me so that you may be saved, all you ends of the earth, because I am God and there is no other. (Isaiah 45:21-22)
Jehovah Sabaoth is his name, and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. He will be called the God of the whole earth. (Isaiah 54:5)
[3] We can see from these passages that the Lord’s divine nature called “the Father” (and here called “Jehovah” and “God”) and his divine human nature called “the Son” (and here “the Redeemer” and “the Savior” as well as “the Maker, ” meaning the Reformer and Regenerator) are one, not two, for it not only says “Jehovah is God” and “the Holy One of Israel is the Redeemer and Savior, ” it also says “Jehovah is the Redeemer and Savior.” Not only that, it even calls Jehovah “the Savior” and says, “there is no Savior other than me.” This clearly shows that the divine nature and the human nature in the Lord are one person and that the human nature is divine as well, since the Redeemer and Savior of the world is no other than the Lord in his divine human nature, which is called “the Son.” Redemption and salvation are properly credited to his human nature, and are called “merit and righteousness, ” since his human nature bore the trials and the suffering on the cross, which means that he accomplished redemption and salvation by means of his human nature.
[4] Since, then, after the union of his human nature with his inner divine nature, which was like that of soul and body in us, they were no longer two but were one person (according to the teaching of the Christian world), the Lord was Jehovah and God in both respects. This is why some passages speak of “Jehovah” and “the Holy One of Israel the Redeemer and Savior, ” but others say “Jehovah is the Redeemer and Savior, ” as you can see from the citations above.
For Christ being called the Savior, see Luke 2:10-11 and John 4:42. On God and the God of Israel being the Savior and Redeemer, see Luke 1:47; Isaiah 45:14; 54:5; Psalms 78:35. On Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel being the Savior and Redeemer, see Isaiah 41:14; 43:3, 11, 14-15; 48:17; 49:7; 54:5. On Jehovah being the Savior, Redeemer, and Maker, see Isaiah 44:6; 47:4; 49:26; 54:8; 63:8; Jeremiah 50:34; Psalms 19:14; 130:7-8. On Jehovah God being the Redeemer and Savior, “and there is no Savior other than me, ” see Isaiah 43:11; 44:6; 45:14, 18, 21-22; Hosea 13:4.
34. The complete union of the Divine and the human in Him was achieved by His suffering of the cross, which was the last of those temptations or trials. This we established in its own section above, in which we showed that the Lord came into the world to conquer the hells and glorify His humanity, and that the suffering of the cross was the last battle by which He completely overcame the hells and completely glorified His humanity.
Now because the Lord by His suffering of the cross completely glorified His humanity, that is, united it to His Divinity and so made His humanity Divine, it follows that He is Jehovah
[2] and God in respect to both. In many places in the Word, therefore, He is called Jehovah, God, and the Holy One of Israel, the Redeemer, Savior and Former, as in the following passages here:
Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.” (Luke 1:46-47)
The angel said to (the shepherds), “...behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which will be to all people, (that) there is born...this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:10-11)
They said..., “...this is truly the Christ, the Savior of the world.” (John 4:42)
I (Jehovah God) will help you, ...and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 41:14)
...said Jehovah, your Creator, O Jacob, your Former, O Israel: “...for I have redeemed you.... ...I am Jehovah your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.” (Isaiah 43:1, 3)
...said Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.... “I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.” (Isaiah 43:14-15)
Thus said Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker.... (Isaiah 45:11, cf. 45:15)
Thus said Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.... (Isaiah 48:17)
...that all flesh may know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Isaiah 49:26)
...Then he will come to Zion as the Redeemer. (Isaiah 59:20)
...that you shall know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Isaiah 60:16)
...Jehovah..., your Former from the womb.... (Isaiah 49:5)
...O Jehovah, my rock and my Redeemer. (Psalms 19:14)
They remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God their Redeemer. (Psalms 78:35)
...said Jehovah your Redeemer, and your Former from the womb.... (Isaiah 44:24)
As for our Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 47:4)
“With everlasting mercy I will have pity on you.” (Thus) said Jehovah, your Redeemer. (Isaiah 54:8)
Their Redeemer is strong; Jehovah...is His name. (Jeremiah 50:34)
O Israel, hope in Jehovah; for with Jehovah there is mercy; with Him is abundant redemption. He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities. (Psalms 130:7-8)
Jehovah (God) is my rock, my fortress..., the horn of my salvation..., my Savior.... (2 Samuel 22:2-3)
Thus said Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, its Holy One...: “Kings shall see and endure..., because of Jehovah, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.” (Isaiah 49:7)
Surely God is within you, and there is...no other God (besides). Certainly You are a hidden God, O God of Israel, the Savior ! (Isaiah 45:14-15)
...said Jehovah, the King of Israel, and its Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: “...Besides Me there is no God.” (Isaiah 44:6)
I...am Jehovah, and besides Me there is no Savior. (Isaiah 43:11)
Am I not Jehovah? And no other...besides Me, (and) no Savior besides Me? (Isaiah 45:21)
I am Jehovah your God..., and you shall not acknowledge any God but Me; and there is no Savior besides Me. (Hosea 13:4)
Am I not Jehovah? And there is no other God besides Me, a just God, and there is no Savior besides Me. Look to Me to be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is none besides. (Isaiah 45:21-22)
...Jehovah of Hosts is His name; and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; He shall be called the God of the whole earth. (Isaiah 54:5)
[3] It can be seen from this that the Lord’s Divinity called the Father, and called here Jehovah and God, and His Divine humanity called the Son, and called here the Redeemer and Savior, or Former and Maker, meaning the Reformer and Regenerator, are not two entities but one. For we are told not only that Jehovah God and the Holy One of Israel is the Redeemer and Savior, but also that Jehovah is the Redeemer and Savior. Indeed, we are also told that Jehovah is the Savior and none besides Him.
It is clearly apparent from this that the Divine and the human in the Lord are one person, and that the human is also Divine, inasmuch as there is no Redeemer and Savior of the world other than the Lord in respect to His Divine humanity, called the Son.
Redemption and salvation, indeed, are the unique attributes of His humanity called merit and righteousness. For it was His humanity that underwent temptations or trials and the suffering of the cross, so that it is by His humanity that He redeemed and saved.
[4] Now after the union of His humanity with the Divinity in Him, which was like the union of soul and body in anyone else, because they were then no more two but one person, in accordance with the Christian world’s doctrine, therefore the Lord was Jehovah and God in respect to both. That is why we are sometimes told that Jehovah and the Holy One of Israel are the Redeemer and Savior, and sometimes that Jehovah is the Redeemer and Savior, as may be seen from the passages cited above. Namely, that the Christ is called the Savior (Luke 2:10-11, John 4:42); that God, and the God of Israel, is called the Savior and Redeemer (Luke 1:47, Isaiah 45:11, 15, 54:5, Psalms 78:35); that Jehovah is called the Holy One of Israel, the Savior and Redeemer (Isaiah 41:14, 43:3, 11, 14-15, 48:17, 49:7, 54:5); that Jehovah is called the Savior, Redeemer, and Former or Maker (Isaiah 44:6, 47:4, 49:26, 54:8, 63:16, Jeremiah 50:34, Psalms 19:14, 130:7-8, 2 Samuel 22:2-3); and that Jehovah God is called the Redeemer and Savior, and there is no other besides Him (Isaiah 43:11, 44:6, 45:14-15, 21-22, Hosea 13:4).
34. 5. THE FULL UNION OF THE DIVINE AND THE HUMAN IN THE LORD WAS EFFECTED BY THE PASSION OF THE CROSS, WHICH WAS THE LAST OF THE TEMPTATIONS. This was confirmed above in its proper chapter, where it was shown that the Lord came into the world to subjugate the hells and glorify His Human, and that the passion of the cross was the last combat by which He fully conquered the hells and fully glorified His Human. Now, since the Lord by the passion of the cross fully glorified His Human, that is, united it to His Divine and so made His Human also Divine, it follows that He is Jehovah and God as to both.
[2] Therefore, in many passages in the Word He is called Jehovah, God, and the Holy One of Israel, the Redeemer, Saviour and Maker; as in the following:
Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Luke 1:46-47.
The angel said unto the shepherds ... Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people;
That this day, in the city of David, is born a Saviour who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:10-11.
They said.... This is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. John 4:42.
I, Jehovah God, will help thee, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41:14.
Thus saith Jehovah thy Creator, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel ... for I have redeemed thee ...
I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour. Isaiah 43:1, 3.
Thus saith Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;
I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. Isaiah 43:14-15.
Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, [... the Saviour]. Isaiah 45:11, 15.
Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 48:17.
That all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One (Fortis) of Jacob. Isaiah 49:26.
Then the Redeemer shall come to Zion. Isaiah 59:20.
That thou mayest know that I, Jehovah, am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One (Potens) of Jacob. Isaiah 60:16.
Jehovah, thy Maker from the womb. Isaiah 49:26.
Jehovah, my Rock (A.V. strength) and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14.
They remembered that God was their Rock, and the high God their Redeemer. Psalm 78:35.
Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, and thy Maker from the womb. Isaiah 44:24.
As for our Redeemer, Jehovah Zebaoth is His name, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 47:4.
With everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith Jehovah thy Redeemer. Isaiah 54:8.
Their Redeemer is strong; Jehovah [Zebaoth] is His name. Jeremiah 50:34.
Let Israel hope in Jehovah: for with Jehovah there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption. And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities. Psalm 130:7-8.
Jehovah God is my rock and my fortress, and the horn of my salvation, my Saviour. 2 Samuel 22:2-3.
Thus saith Jehovah the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One ... kings shall see and come to a stand ... because of Jehovah, that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee. Isaiah 49:7.
Surely God is in thee, and there is none other God besides.
Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel the Saviour. Isaiah 45:14-15.
Thus saith Jehovah the King of Israel, and his Redeemer Jehovah Zebaoth ... besides me there is no God. Isaiah 44:6.
I am Jehovah; and besides me there is no Saviour. Isaiah 43:11.
Am not I Jehovah? and there is no God else besides me; [a just God] and a Saviour, there is none besides me. Isaiah 45:21.
I am Jehovah thy God ... and thou shalt know no God but me; for there is no Saviour besides me. Hosea 13:4.
Am not I Jehovah? and there is no God else besides me; a just God and a Saviour there is none besides me.
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else. Isaiah 45:21-22.
Jehovah Zebaoth is His name, and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth shall He be called. Isaiah 54:5.
[3] From these passages it may be seen that the Lord's Divine, which is called the Father and here Jehovah and God, and the Divine Human, which is called the Son and here the Redeemer and Saviour, and also the Maker, that is, the Reformer and Regenerator, are not two, but one. For not only is mention made of Jehovah, God, and the holy One of Israel, the Redeemer and Saviour, but it is also said that Jehovah is the Redeemer and Saviour; indeed it is also said that Jehovah is the Saviour and that there is none besides Him. From this it is clearly manifest that the Divine and the Human in the Lord are one Person, and that the Human also is Divine; for the Redeemer and Saviour of the world is none other than the Lord as to the Divine Human, which is called the Son. Moreover, redemption and salvation constitute the attribute proper to His Human, which is called merit and righteousness; for it was that endured temptations and the passion of the cross; and thus by His Human He redeemed and saved mankind.
[4] Now, since after the union of the Human with the Divine in Himself, which was like that of the soul and the body with man, they were no longer two but one Person, according to the doctrine of the Christian world, therefore the Lord as to both is Jehovah and God. Thus mention is made sometimes of Jehovah and the Holy One of Israel the Redeemer and Saviour, and sometimes of Jehovah the Redeemer and Saviour; as may be seen from the passages quoted, where we read:
The Saviour Christ. Luke 2:10-11; John 4:42.
God, and the God of Israel [are called] the Saviour and Redeemer. Luke 1:47; Isaiah 45:15; 54:5; Psalm 78:35.
Jehovah the Holy One of Israel, the Saviour and Redeemer. Isaiah 41:14; 43:3, 11, 14-15; 48:17; 49:7; 54:5.
Jehovah, the Saviour, Redeemer, and Maker. Isaiah 44:6; 47:4; 49:26; 54:5, 8, 63:16; Jeremiah 50:34; Psalm 19:14; 130:7-8; 2 Samuel 22:2-3.
Jehovah God the Redeemer and Saviour, and besides me there is no other. Isaiah 43:11; 44:6; 45:14-15, 21-22; Hosea 13:4.
34. v. That the full unition of the Divine and the Human in the Lord was effected by means of the passion of the cross, which was the last temptation, has been established above in its proper chapter, where it has been shown that the Lord came into the world in order to subjugate the hells and glorify His Human, and that the passion of the cross was the last combat, by means of which He fully conquered the hells, and fully glorified His Human. Now as by the passion of the cross the Lord fully glorified His Human (that is, united it to His Divine, and thus made His Human also Divine), it follows that He is Jehovah and God as to both the Divine and the Human. And therefore in many passages in the Word He is called Jehovah, God, and the Holy One of Israel the Redeemer, Savior, and Former.
[2] As in the following:
Mary said, My soul doth magnify THE LORD, and my spirit hath exalted in GOD MY SAVIOR (Luke 1:46, 47).
The angel said to the shepherds, Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people; that there is born this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:10, 11).
They said, This is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world (John 4:42).
I Jehovah God will help thee, and thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 41:14).
Thus saith Jehovah thy Creator, O Jacob and thy Former, O Israel for I have redeemed thee. I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior (Isaiah 43:1, 3).
Thus saith Jehovah your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King (Isaiah 43:14, 15).
Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Former (Isaiah 45:11).
Thus saith Jehovah thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 48:17).
That all flesh may know that I Jehovah am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob (Isaiah 49:26).
Then shall the Redeemer come to Zion (Isaiah 59:20).
That thou mayest know that I Jehovah am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob (Isaiah 60:16).
Jehovah thy Former from the womb (Isaiah 49:5).
Jehovah my Rock, and my Redeemer (Psalm 19:14).
They remembered that God was their Rock, and the High God their Redeemer (Psalm 78:35).
Thus saith Jehovah thy Redeemer, and thy Former from the womb (Isaiah 44:24).
As for our Redeemer, Jehovah of Armies is His name, the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 47:4).
With mercy of eternity will I have mercy on thee, saith Jehovah thy Redeemer (Isaiah 54:8).
Their Redeemer is strong, Jehovah of Armies is His name (Jeremiah 50:34).
Let Israel hope in Jehovah, for with Jehovah there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption; and He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities (Psalm 130:7-8).
Jehovah is my Rock and my fortress; the horn of my salvation, my Savior (2 Samuel 22:2-3).
Thus saith Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, Kings shall see and stand, because of Jehovah who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee (Isaiah 49:7).
Surely God is in thee, and there is none else, there is no God. Verily Thou art a God that hidest Thyself, O God of Israel, the Savior (Isaiah 45:14-15).
Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer Jehovah of Armies, Besides Me there is no God (Isaiah 44:6).
I am Jehovah, and besides Me there is no Savior (Isaiah 43:11).
Am not I Jehovah? and there is no God else besides Me; and a Savior, there is none besides Me (Isaiah 45:21).
I am Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt know no God but Me, and besides Me there is no Savior (Hosea 13:4).
Am not I Jehovah, and there is no other God besides Me; a just God and a Savior, there is none besides Me: look unto Me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth for I am God, and there is none else (Isaiah 45:21, 22).
Jehovah of Armies is His name, and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth shall He be called (Isaiah 54:5).
[3] From these passages it may be seen that the Lord's Divine called "the Father" (and here "Jehovah" and "God"), and the Divine Human called "the Son" (and here "the Redeemer" and "Savior," and also "the Former," which means the Reformer and Regenerator), are not two, but one. For not only is mention made of Jehovah, God, and the Holy One of Israel the Redeemer and Savior, but the expression "Jehovah the Redeemer and Savior" is used, and even "I am Jehovah the Savior, and there is none besides Me." From this it is very evident that the Divine and the Human in the Lord are one Person; and that the Human also is Divine. For the Redeemer and Savior of the world is no other than the Lord in respect to the Divine Human, and this is what is called the Son. Moreover redemption and salvation are an attribute proper to His Human, which is called merit and righteousness; for it was His Human that endured temptations and the passion of the cross; and therefore it was by means of His Human that He effected redemption and salvation.
[4] As, therefore, after the unition of the Human with the Divine in Him, which was like that of the soul and body in man, they were no longer two but one Person (according to the Doctrine of the Christian world), it follows that the Lord is Jehovah and God as to both the Divine and the Human. And this therefore is why it is said on the one hand that Jehovah and the Holy One of Israel are the Redeemer and Savior, and on the other that the Redeemer and Savior are Jehovah, as may be seen from the passages that have been quoted. Thus it is said,
Christ the Savior (Luke 2:11; John 4:42).
God and the God of Israel the Savior and Redeemer (Luke 1:47; Isaiah 45:15, 5; Psalm 78:35).
Jehovah the Holy One of Israel the Savior and Redeemer (Isaiah 41:14; 43:3, 11, 14, 15; 48:17; 49:7; 54:5).
Jehovah the Savior, Redeemer, and Former (Isaiah 44:6; 47:4; 49:26; 54:8; 63:16; Jeremiah 50:34; Psalm 19:14; 130:7-8; 2 Samuel 22:2-3).
Jehovah God the Redeemer and Savior, and besides Me there is none else (Isaiah 43:11; 44:6; 45:14-15, 21-22; Hosea 13:4).
34. ((v.)) Quod plena Unitio Divini et Humani in Ipso facta sit per Passionem crucis, quae fuit Tentationum ultima, confirmatum est in suo articulo supra; in quo ostensum est quod Dominus in mundum venerit ut subjugaret inferna, et glorificaret Humanum suum, et quod passio crucis fuerit ultima pugna, per quam plene vicit inferna, et plene glorificavit Humanum suum. Nunc quia Dominus per passionem crucis plene glorificavit Humanum suum, hoc est, univit illud Divino suo, et sic Humanum suum etiam fecit Divinum, sequitur quod Ipse sit Jehovah et Deus quoad utrumque: quare in Verbo multis in locis vocatur Jehovah, Deus et Sanctus Israelis Redemptor, Salvator et Formator.

"Jehovah Zebaoth nomen Ipsius, et Redemptor tuus, Sanctus Israelis, Deus totius terrae vocabitur" (Esaiam 54:5).
[3] Ex his videri potest quod Divinum Domini, quod Pater vocatur, et hic Jehovah et Deus, ac Divinum Humanum, quod Filius vocatur, et hic Redemptor et Salvator, tum Formator, hoc est, Reformator et Regenerator, non duo sint sed unum; nam non solum dicitur, Jehovah Deus et Sanctus Israelis Redemptor et Salvator, sed etiam dicitur Jehovah Redemptor et Salvator; immo etiam dicitur "Jehovah Salvator et non praeter Me;" ex quibus manifeste patet quod Divinum et Humanum in Domino sint una Persona, et quod Humanum etiam Divinum sit; nam Redemptor et Salvator mundi non alius est quam Dominus quoad Divinum Humanum, quod Filius vocatur. Redemptio et salvatio enim est attributum proprium Humani Ipsius, quod vocatur meritum et justitia; nam Humanum Ipsius sustinuit tentationes et passionem crucis; ita per Humanum redemit et salvavit.
[4] Nunc quia post unitionem Humani cum Divino in Se, quae fuit sicut animae et corporis apud hominem, non amplius erant duo sed una Persona, secundum Doctrinam Christiani orbis, ideo Dominus quoad utrumque est Jehovah et Deus; quare dicitur nunc Jehovah et Sanctus Israelis, Redemptor et Salvator, nunc Jehovah Redemptor et Salvator, ut ex adductis locis videri potest: quod ibi dicatur,
"Salvator Christus" (Lucam 2:10-11; Johannem 4:42);
"Deus, et Deus Israelis, Salvator, et Redemptor" (Lucam 1:47; Esaiam 45:15 4; 54:5; Psalm 78:35 5);
"Jehovah Sanctus Israelis, Salvator, et Redemptor" (Esaiam 41:14; 43:3, 11, 14-15; 48:17; 49:7; 54:5);
"Jehovah Salvator, Redemptor, et Formator" (Esaiam 44:6 6; 47:4; 49:26; 54:8; 63:16; Jeremiam 50:34; 7Psalm 19:15 (B.A. 14); Psalm 130:7-8; 2 Samuelis 22:2-3).
"Jehovah Deus, Redemptor et Salvator, et praeter Me non alius" (Esaiam 43:11; 44:6; 45:14-15, 21-22; Hoscheam 13:4).
