    “Draw near to Me, hearken to this; in the beginning I did not speak in secret, from the time it was, there was I, and now, the Lord God has sent Me, and His Spirit” – verse 16

    Who is the speaker of these words in verse 16? Some commentators, like Thomas Cheyne, have suggested the words “ and now Lord YHWH has”, belong to another speaker, who is introduced here. No doubt this is due to the influence of the Targum of Jonathan Ben Uzie’s reading;

    “The prophet saith: And now the Lord God and His Word, hath sent me” (C W H Pauli; The Chaldee Paraphrase on the Prophet Isaiah, pp.166-167)

    This is also accepted by John Calvin in his commentary. That this view is wrong, can be seen from the facts of the passage, where it will be seen, that, The Speaker in this verse, is none other than YHWH. There is no Hebrew text that supports the paraphrase reading.

    The words in this verse are like those found in verse 3, “I have declared the former things from the beginning”, and verse 5, “I have even from the beginning declared it to you”. In verse 12 and 13 the Speaker says, “Listen to Me, O Jacob and Israel, My called; I am He, I am the First, I also am the Last. My hand has also laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens”. In verse 15 we read, “I, even I have spoken, yes, and I have called him”. In the very next verse, we read, “Thus says YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am YHWH your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go”.

    In Isaiah 41:4, we read, “Who has performed and done this, calling the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am He”. And, 44:6, “Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god”

    Can any of these words have been spoken by a created human? In the Book of Revelation, Jesus says, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”. Dr Thayer, in his Greek lexicon says of these words, “absolutely (i. e. without a noun) and substantively; α. with the article: ὁ πρῶτος καί ὁ ἔσχατος, i. e. the eternal One, Revelation 1:17; Revelation 2:8; Revelation 22:13”. The words “The First and The Last”, are equivalent to “The Eternal One”. In Exodus 3:14, where Jesus Christ is Speaking with Moses, and gives His Name, the Greek Old Testament, the Septuagint (LXX), reads, “εγω ειμι ο ων”, literally, “I am The Eternal One”.

    In the Book of Hebrews, God the Father is addressing Jesus Christ, and says, “And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish, but you remain, they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end.” (verses 10-12). These words are spoken in the passage in Isaiah, and could only refer to the Creator God, YHWH!

    Are there two subjects in this verse, “Adonay Yahweh”, and “His Spirit”, Who both send the Speaker? This is the reading of the older English Versions, as Wycliffe, Coverdale, Great, Geneva, Bishops, and KJV. Or, is “Adonay Yahweh” the one subject, and the Speaker and “His Spirit”, two objects, Who sends the Speaker and His Spirit? The actual word order in the Hebrew, LXX, and Latin Vulgate, make two objects, and not two subjects.

    The Hebrew here is: “ועתה אדני יהוה שׁלחני ורוחו׃”, the order of words here are: “And now 'Adônây YHWH He has sent Me and Spirit of Him”.

    The Hebrew verb “שְׁלָחַנִי” is masculine, singular, 3rd person, “He has sent Me”

    The Greek Old Testament, The Septuagint, has rendered this Hebrew as;

    “καὶ νῦν κύριος κύριος ἀπέσταλκέν με καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ”, the order of words here are: “And now the Lord Lord hath sent Me and His Spirit.

    The Latin Vulgate of Jerome;

    “et nunc Dominus Deus misit me, et spiritus eius”, the order of words here are: “And now, the Lord God has sent Me and His Spirit”

    The following (and others) Jewish Bible’s also translate the words, where the Holy Spirit is the second object and not subject.

    “And now, the Lord Eternal hath sent me, and his Spirit” (Isaac Leeser, The Twenty-Four Books of the Holy Scriptures: Carefully Translated According to the Massoretic Text)

    “and now the Lord Eternal hath sent me, and his spirit.” (Dr A Benisch; Jewish School and Family Bible, Vol. III)

    “And now the Lord GOD has sent me, and his Spirit” (The Holy Scriptures According to the Masoretic Text, A New Translation. The Jewish Publication Society of America. 5677-1917)

    There can be no doubt that the Speaker in Isaiah 48:16, is YHWH, as seen from the chapter, especially in the verses shown. As the Speaker is One Who has been “sent” by “Adonay Yahweh”, it most certainly refers to the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. As passages like Matthew 10:40; Mark 9:37; Luke 9:48; John 5:23, etc, show.

    In the Prophecy of Isaiah 9:6, we see that the Child to be born, will be called, or known as, “The Mighty God”, the Hebrew, “אֵל גִּבּוֹר”, literally, “God of Might”. This same Title is used in Isaiah 10:21. The Hebrew noun, “שְׁמוֹ”, is masculine, 3rd person, singular, and can only refer to the Child, “His Name”. The Deity of the Child is clear, It is interesting that the Jehovah’s Witnesses, here read in their New World Translation, “Mighty God”.

    Isaiah 48:16 has “Adonay Yahweh”, sending the Speaker, Who is also “Yahweh”. We also have “His Spirit”, Who is also “sent”, along with the Speaker. As both the Speaker, and they One Who “sent”, are YHWH, “His Spirit”, must also refer to One Who is YHWH. That the “Spirit” here is a Person, is clear from the fact that He is “sent”, which can hardly refer to something impersonal. Neither can “His Spirit” refer to a created being, as no creature can have this relationship with God, from eternity past!

    In 2 Samuel 23:2, we have a very clear reference where The Holy Spirit is called YHWH:

    “The Spirit of the LORD speaks by me (heb., דִּבֶּר־בִּי, is masculine); His word (heb. וּמִלָּתוֹ , is feminine, lit, “Her word”) is on my tongue. The God of Israel has spoken; the Rock of Israel has said to me”

    We would have expected “אֶת־דְּבָרוֹ”, the masculine, “His word”, which would agree with “יהוה” (YHWH), which is masculine. However, with the use of the feminine, “וּמִלָּתוֹ”, it is clear that The Spirit is meant, so that “The Spirit of the Lord”, IS the subject, and refers to One, and not two Persons. It is "His Word”, that is, The Spirit’s, that is on the tongue of David. The following words also belong to the Spirit, Who is also called “The God of Israel”, and “the Rock of Israel”. Very clear testimony to the full Deity of the Holy Spirit.

    In Job 33:4, we see the Holy Spirit as the Creator.

    “The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of (וְנִשְׁמַת)the Almighty gives me life (תְּחַיֵּנִי).”

    “The spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Almighty given me life.” (The Holy Scriptures According to the Masoretic Text, A New Translation. The Jewish Publication Society of America. 5677-1917)

    In this verse also, the Hebrew is very interesting. We have “רוּחַ־אֵל”, “the Spirit of God”, and then, “עָשָׂתְנִי”, the feminine singular, literally, “She has made me”, referring grammatically to “Spirit (רוּח)”, which is also feminine in the Hebrew. “רוּחַ־אֵל”, refers to only one Person, The Holy Spirit, Who IS The Creator.

    “made”, is the same Hebrew word, “עֲשׂוֹת”, used in Genesis 1:7, 2:4, etc. In Genesis 2:7 we read, “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (נִשְׁמַת חַיִּים); and man became a living soul (לְנֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה)”

    The Deity and Personality of The Holy Spirit is clear in the Old Testament. Taken together with “Adonay YHWH”, and the Speaker Who is also “YHWH”, in Isaiah 48:16, we have a very clear reference to The Holy Trinity in the Old Testament. Three DISTINCT Persons, Who are EQUALLY YHWH.

    I will show my understanding, however please do not ask me to apply to the above for I do not know that I can.

    Deut 6:4 YLT 'Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God is one Jehovah;

    I believe that, "speaking," is a Holy, of Spirit God ( 'ĕlōhîm ) Jehovah (YHWH).

    Now at the time that was spoken, was Jehovah our God;

    A. Spirit the God, the Father and the Son of God of flesh
    B. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God; this one was in the beginning with God; John 1:1,2 YLT of Holy Spirit

    I believe B.

    I believe it is B who Jesus told those in John 8:54 that they called their God and he had said was his Father. And as you stated in another thread this conversation in John 8 comes from the burning bush story where, :their," God, the same God of Deut 6:4 speaks (Word) of being the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and says in verse 14 literally, "I Will Be Who I Will Be".

    The Word was with God, and the Word was God, then through the virgin Mary; John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us
    Gal 4:4 NKJV But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born[fn] of a woman, born under the law,

    God the Father and the Son of God, The Son being I Am. YHWH The Father also YHWH

    The Son of God died was dead for three days then the Father Spirit the God raised him up out of the dead, then Acts 2:33
    at the right hand then of God having been exalted -- also the promise of the Holy Spirit having received from the Father -- he was shedding forth this, which now ye see and hear;

    He shed forth the Holy Spirit YHWH

    John 7:39 YLT and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

    I pray that is fair to the OP. I feel it is but you may feel differently. If so I apologize.

    John 18:20 “I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus replied.
    “I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.

    The Speaker is Jesus.

    Thanks for the response.

    How relative to my post?

    Let me add however I don't think it changes my post.

    John 14:9,10 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

    Are you saying this is not True?:

    Are you saying this is not True?
    Christ existed as the Word and Son of God from all eternity, and was with God His Father from everlasting;

    Are you saying this is not True?
    He was by Him, and brought up with Him, and lay in His bosom so early:

    I don't think I said any of those things. I believe these scriptures are very clear.

    And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14

    When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Matt 16:13-16

    Now let me ask. Was Jesus actually the seed of David, of Abraham? Was Jesus eternally the seed of David, of Abraham?

    and that, as percho says, "Jesus actually the seed of David, of Abraham? Was Jesus eternally the seed of David, of Abraham?"

    Or are your 'teachers' telling you these things?

    If you can understant what I have said in the OP, that Jesus Christ is YHWH; The Father is YHWH, and The Holy Spirit is YHWH. Even though Jesus and the Holy Spirit are said to be "sent" by the Father, this is purely functional, and has nothing to do with any "hierarchy", in the Godhead. The Three are 100% EQUAL, as they are YHWH. This also means that The Three Persons, are COETERNAL, existing from all eternity.

    "Into thy Hands I commend My Spirit".
    Luke 23:46
    Psalm 31:5

    It's OK that Jesus, as God, was Alive and Left The Cross, Alive, right?

    so you agree with the OP, that The Three Person in the Holy Trinity, are equally YHWH?

    The Office of God the Father, in The Trinity, is God The Father.

    God the Son, in The Office of The Second Person, King, Priest, Temple, and Israel, is The Messiah, Savior, Sent.

    The Holy Spirit Accomidates the Sending of Jesus Christ, in the Office of The Third Person in The Trinity.

    As long as The Spirit did not 'create' Jesus ( He Created Job)
    and the Holy Spirit is not a girl ('feminine) (but as 'Paternal' in the Nurturing and bringing "up' and forth, of Jesus Christ, understood in the sense befitting The Godhead (Proverbs 8).

    There are hundreds of pages of Divine Distinctions and Variations.

    I have written and edited hundreds of blogs on the subjects, below:


    A BODY OF DOCTRINAL DIVINITY



    BOOK I.
    OF GOD, HIS WORD, NAMES, NATURE, PERFECTIONS, AND PERSONS.


    † Of the Unity of God
    † Of a Plurality in the Godhead
    † Of the Personal Relations in Deity
    † Of the Distinct Personality and Deity of the Father
    † Of the Distinct Personality and Deity of the Son
    † Of the Distinct Personality and Deity of the Holy Spirit

    ~~~~~~

    BOOK II.
    OF THE ACTS AND WORKS OF GOD

    Of the Internal Acts of God, and of his Decrees in general
    † Of the Special Decrees of God, particularly of Election
    † Of the Rejection of some Angels and some Men
    † Of the Union of the Elect to God
    † Of Adoption as an Immanent Act

    Dive deep in this:
    The Concern The Spirit Of God Has
    In The Covenant Of Grace


    His By Grace--"John Gill: A Body of Doctrinal & Practical Divinity"-Doctrinal Book 2, Chapter 14

    ..

    I believe everyone's "5-Points" of sound Biblical Interpretation should include these and a hundred more "Points", to really reach out there a touch people with THE TRUTH.

    first of, it makes no difference that the Father is "first" in some Scripture passages, like Matthew 28:19. because in other passages, He is not "first", as in 2 Corinthians 13:14, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen". And in Ephesians 4:4-6, "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.". Showing that The Three are 100% EQUAL

    Second, the Holy Spirit never "sent" Jesus, as the KJV has wrongly said in Isaiah 48:16, which is not what the Hebrew says.

    Third, the Holy Spirit is neither "feminine", or "a thing" (neuter), but "masculine", as Jesus says in John 14:26, for example, where He uses, "ἐκεῖνος" (He), for the Holy Spirit

    Fourth, Proverbs 8:22 is not Jesus Christ.

    I am wondering what those who taught you are trying to eliminate.

    It looks like the hundreds of pages of a couple of dozen points they chose to skip.

    If so, they dive deeper and come up dryer than the dust on Satan's feet.

    The Godhead Contains an ORDER.

    The Godhead is Co-Equal in Nature and Essence.

    ...

    The Bible does not 'word things wrong'.

    ...

    Jesus Christ WAS NOT CREATED.

    He is Wisdom all the way through Proverbs 8.

    "Then I was by Him, as one brought up with Him:
    and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him";
    Proverbs 8:30

    How long was Jesus God the Father's Daily Delight?

    ........................Always.....................

    Exactly where do you think/believe, Jesus , thou art the Christ the Son of the living God, went?

    Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Rom 6:3
    For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Cor 15:3
    Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. Rom 6:9

    What was Jesus Christ, as, at this time. Did Jesus Christ die or not for our sins. He certainly did not die for his own. Exactly how long do you think/believe Jesus Christ was dead for our sins? Exactly how long do you believe, death, had dominion over Jesus Christ?

    For the life (soul) of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Lev 17:11
    all in whose nostrils is breath of a living spirit -- of all that is in the dry land -- have died. Gen 7:22
    It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63 ======== Spirit makes flesh, soul living, Gen 2:7 Lev 17:11
    Jesus Christ came in flesh not in spirit. 1 John 4:2 1 Cor 15:46


    Rabbit Trail.

    And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Gen 1:5
    Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. John 11:9,10
    For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Matt 12:40

    How many hours would you guess, death, had dominion over Jesus Christ?

    from: Were the three days and three nights that Jesus was in the grave a full 72 hours? | Bible.org:

    "Note, they said, “until the third day, not until the fourth.”

    "Matthew could have used a Greek construction here which would have stressed through (duration) the third day, but using the preposition eo„s with the genitive, it basically meant “till or up to” and does not stress the idea of duration meaning “through.”

    "The genitive case typically stresses during, at, or within a time range. Had the accusative been used alone or with a different proposition, it could have stressed extent or duration of time."

    "It is probably significant that

    “Every occurrence of the ‘the third day’

    with reference to Jesus’ resurrection in the Gospels is put in the dat. (dative case) without an accompanying preposition” (Dan Wallace, Greek Grammar Beyond the Basic, Zondervan, p. 156).

    "The significance of this is that nouns used in the dative case like “the third day” express a point in time rather than duration of time.

    "So it means, “at a point in time, on the third day.”

    From the article above.

    There has been a long standing debate over the meaning of Matthew 12:40, “for just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster,

    Alan, let me ask a few questions.

    Jezebel Is Slain
    2 Kings 9:33,34 And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot. And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king's daughter.

    When did Jezebel enter Sheol / Hades?

    Now from the post above, "for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster."

    According to scripture where was Jonah considered to be?

    Jonah 1:17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
    Jonah 2:1,2 NKJV Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish’s belly. And he said:

    “I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction,
    And He answered me.

    “Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
    And You heard my voice.

    Sheol / Hades

    As Jonah was, so shall the Son of Man be.

    According to scripture; By resurrection, where was the soul of Jesus not left to?
    Acts 2:31 NKJV “he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.

    When did the soul enter Hades?

    The word of God does not state the hour of the day when Jesus was made alive but that on the first day of the week while it was still dark the tomb was empty.

    In three days, on the third day and after three days could all be inclusive in three days and three night relative to that above.

    Could it not?
