The Two Jehovahs of God's Law:
God the Father and God the Son

Print This Page

As demonstrated in the preceding paper, The Two Jehovahs of the Psalms, both God the Father and God the Son were known in Old Testament times as Jehovah. The Hebrew text also refers to the two Jehovahs individually as El and together as Elohim. Thus Jehovah Elohim is a plural name that refers to both divine Beings. The Old Testament prophets proclaimed that one of the two Jehovah Elohim would become flesh and would dwell among men. In the New Testament, this Jehovah or El Who became the Son was announced by Gabriel as Immanuel, or "God with us."

In this study paper, the third in a series on the study of the Godhead, we will delve much deeper into the Scriptural evidence of the two Jehovahs. We will examine a number of controversial and much disputed passages in the Pentateuch, including the time-honored "Shema" of Deuteronomy 6:4. We will analyze the structure of the Hebrew text through the eyes of the most respected authorities on Hebrew grammar and syntax. When we conclude our study, the weight of evidence will fully confirm the Scriptural truth which has long been suppressed and denied--that two Jehovahs have eternally existed as God.
