It was my lot to fall in with, and to be often situated with characters who were inimical to this grand fundamental truth. Swedenborg denied the existence of the Father and the Holy Spirit. Socinians, Arians, and Sabellians, either in one form or another, deny the Godhead of Christ, and the personality of the Holy Spirit. Thus, amongst this motley group, they leave us no God at all. Many have been my conflicts with such; but the Word is so plain upon the subject, that it needs no comment, only by comparing a very few out of the many scriptures of truth, and drawing a very reasonable inference from the plainest testimony. This has been done by an excellent author, the rev. W. Jones; and the great Mr. Macgowan, in his “Twenty Letters to J. Priestly, D.D.” I will only compare a few texts together, and you will see the beauty of truth. As— Isaiah vi. 5—“Mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts.” John xii. 41.—“These things said Esias, when he saw his (Christ’s) glory, and spake of him.” “Therefore Jesus is the Lord of Hosts.” Isaiah xliii. 11. * * * * * Isaiah xliii. 11.—“I, even I, am the Lord, and besides me there is no Saviour.” 2 Peter iii. 18.—“Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” _Then Jesus Christ is Jehovah_, _the Saviour_. * * * * * Rev. xxii. 6.—“The Lord God of the Holy Prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants things which must shortly be done.” Rev. v. 16.—“I, Jesus, have sent mine angel to testify these things unto the churches.” Therefore Jesus is the Lord God of the Prophets. * * * * * Isaiah xliv. 6.—“Thus saith the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts, I am the first, and I am the last, and besides me there is no God.” Rev. xxii. 13.—“I (Jesus) am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” This is too plain to be denied. Christ is the King of Israel, the Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts, the first and the last. * * * * * Psalm lxxviii. 56.—“They tempted and provoked the Most High God.” 1 Cor. x. 9.—“Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted.” Christ must be, therefore, the Most High God. * * * * * Isaiah xxxvii. 5.—“For thy Maker is thy husband, the Lord of Hosts is his name.” John iii. 29.—“He that hath the bride is the bridegroom.” Psalm xxiii.—“The Lord (Jehovah) is my shepherd.” John x. 16.—“There shall be one fold and one shepherd.” Christ must be the Lord of Hosts. * * * * * Psalm c. 3.—“Know ye that the Lord he is God, we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.” John x. 3.—“He calleth his own sheep.” Therefore, Christ he is the Lord God and shepherd. * * * * * John xx. 28.—“And Thomas answered and said, my Lord and my God.”
