coming as the good shepherd, insists that we shall think of him as he "who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance." (Isa. 40:12.) Now if Jesus is the good shepherd prophesied of here; if Jesus is this Messiah foretold, he must be Jehovah. Jesus must somehow be the manifestation in time and space in the terms of a human being of Jehovah. He must be identical with Jehovah, not a separate being in harmony or agreement with him, for Jehovah, as we have seen, is indivisible, complete in himself, nor will ht give his glory to another.
Another statement from Isaiah in regard to the coming of the Messiah will bring this thought of the identity of Jehovah and the Messiah to us:
"For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me." (Isa. 63:4, 5.)
This thought is also brought to our attention
