The Psalmist, speaking of God, says: "Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows;" _Psalm_ 45. 7. It is not possible that any other than the true God is here referred to, for the God that was anointed above his fellows had loved righteousness and hated iniquity. "God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the Gods;" 82. 1. In this passage the number of Gods among whom God judgeth is indefinite, and the words, "congregation of the mighty," indicate that they might be quite numerous. John, the Evangelist, opens his history of our Savior thus; "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;" 1. 1. In this passage we have an account of two Gods, one of which dwelt with the other in the beginning. That the "Word," spoken of, is Jesus Christ is evident from _verse_ 14: "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." "Which in his times he shall shew, _who is_ the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of Lords;" 1 _Tim_. 6. 15. From the context of this passage we learn that the kings and lords here referred to were holy men. Of like significance is the following: "And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father;" _Rev_. 1. 6. That is to God and the Father of God. "A Lamb stood on the Mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty _and_ four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads;" 14. 1. From the third verse we learn that these were redeemed from the earth. Whether this name of the Father of Jesus Christ was God, or some other title indicating his power and attributes, is not revealed to us, but, whatever it was, it evidently identified those who received it as Gods.
