"1. In names. The word Jehovah is employed four times in the Scriptures, and in its simple, uncompounded form, is alone applied to the Supreme God. Ex. 6:3.--'And I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, by the name of God Almighty; but by my name JEHOVAH I was not known unto them.' Ps. 83:18.--'That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth.' Isa. 12:2.--'For the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song.' Isa. 26:4.--'In the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength.' This word, it would seem, denotes the eternal self-existence of God. It was among the Hebrews their most sacred title for the Creator, so sacred in their regard that they did not, on common occasions, pronounce it in reading, or in worship, but after a significant pause of reverential silence, they substituted for it the word _Adonai_. Here is a sublime title, having no double meaning, and is applicable to no one but to the self-existent God. "2. 'Eternal God,' is a title given to the Father, and to none else. Deut. 33:27.--'The Eternal God is thy refuge.' "3. The words 'invisible God' are equally exclusive in their use. Col. 1:15.--'Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature.' 4. He is called the Highest. Luke 1:32, 35. If the Deity is composed of three persons who are perfectly equal, it would be very improper to attach the name Highest to either of them, as it would disturb the equality of the three. Was not the Angel Gabriel probably ignorant of these distinctions when he made the announcement to the Virgin Mary? 5. He is styled the 'Most High.'--Ps. 107:11; Ps. 14:14; Acts 7:48; Heb. 8:1. 6. 'God of gods,' is another title given to none but the Father.--Deut. 10:17. 'For the Lord your God is God of gods.' 7. The Father is called the 'only wise God.' Jude 25.--'To the only wise God our Saviour be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.' 1 Tim. 1:17.--'Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever and forever.' 8. He is styled the blessed and only Potentate. 1 Tim. 6:15.--'Which in his times (in the days of his flesh) he shall show who is the blessed and only Potentate, (the Father) the King of kings and Lord of lords.' These eight titles, which are alone given to the Father, do, as I consider, most perfectly demonstrate this part of my subject, and in part it illustrates what Jesus said in John 10:29. 'MY FATHER which gave them me is _greater_ than _all_.'" These indeed are strong Scripture positions, comprehensively stated, well fortified, and clearly expressed.
