On the following presentation we will review if, according to the Bible, Jesus is the creator of the world and everything

within it.

That will allow us to define our position towards before Him and viceversa.

Once our position is defined before Him and his before us, we will let common sense drive us to a determined set of

natural conlusions.

The CreatorAll things were made by Him, and without Him was not any

thing made that was made.

John 1:3

If we observe the context of the chapter, we will see that in v.1 he who created everything was the Word.

Meaning of Word lgos (Divine) Expression

The Creator

What does it mean that Jesus a Divine Expression?

Who is the image of the invisible God,

the firstborn of every creature:

Colossians 1:15

For it pleased the Father that in Him should

all fulness dwell;

Colossians 1:19

For in Him dwellers all the fulness of the

Godhead bodily. Colosenses 2:9

We can see then by Scriptures, that Jesus created the world.

The Creator

Not only do we have one example to prove the fact that Jesus is the creator. There are many more, and here we

have got one.

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the

worlds. Hebrews 1:1-2

The Creator

Even one more instance.

For y Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities,

or powers: all things were created by him and for him: Colosenses 1:16

The CreatorIf Jesus is the creator, as we have just seen, and Scripture

cannot be broken (John 10:35), Genesis 1:1 must be referring to Jesus

Consequently, the Old Testaments Jehov is Gods Begotten Son.

The Old Testaments Jehovah and the New Testaments Jesus are the same oneThat statement can look quite shocking at first glance to the

majority of the christian community and the world in general.

Nontheless, it is necessary to say (generalizing) that both the christian community and the world in general are not

familiar to the Scriptures.

It is for this reason that we are going to go throughout a series of texts that will lead us from the Old Testament unto the second coming of Jesus. These texts show Jehova to be the

very same Jesus.

These are

Isaiah 40:10

Isaiah 62:11

Revelation 22:12

The amount of texts that prove Jesus to be Jehovah, and the connections that can be perceived by these

texts are many. What we will do is to be based on the following texts.

Behold the Lord GOD will

come with strong hand, and

his arm shall rule ir him; behold, his

reward is with him, and his work before

him. Isaas 40:10

Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed

unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion,

Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward

is with him, and his work before him.

Isaas 62:11

And behold, I come quickly;

and my reward is with

me, to give every man

according as his work shall

be. Apocalipsis

22:12

The Old Testaments Jehovah and the New Testaments Jesus are the same one

Based on these texts, we can state that Jesus is the Old Testaments Jehovah by two paths

1.- The Savior

2.- The Rewarder

The Old Testaments Jehovah and the New Testaments Jesus are the same one

For the Son of man is come to save that which is lost.

Matthew 18:11

1.- The Savior

If we connect Matthew 18:11 with Isaiah 62:11, we approach the fact that Jesus is the Jehovah that Isaiah is speaking of.

The Old Testaments Jehovah and the New Testaments Jesus are the same one

Who is he who comes quickly with his reward (Rev 22:12)? The scripture

clearly tells us.

If the Revelation (Apocalypse in greek) is from Jesus, logic tells us that must be him speaking about himself when refers to he who will shortly come in

Revelation 22:12. Moreover, if Revelation 22:12 speaks of the same rewarder as Isaiah 40:11 and 62:11, that Jehovah that Isaiah speaks of is the very same

Jesus, the Begotten Son of God.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and

signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Revelation 1:1

2.- The Rewarder

The Old Testaments Jehovah and the New Testaments Jesus are the same one

We have seen Jesus as the creator. This fact implies that throughout all the Old Testament, when references are made

to Jehovah, they are directly speaking about Jesus

We have proved that Jesus is the rewarder (Hebrews 11:6). This has got a series of consequences, which will be observed.

Jesus as rewarder

In Revelation 22:12, Isaiah 40:11 and Isaiah 62:11 we see Jesus described as someone who arrives with a reward.

That means, like scripture says, he will render to every man

according to his deeds (Romans 2:6)

That makes Jesus a judge.

For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath

done, whether it be good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:10

For this they are willingly ignorant of, that by the Word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: whereby the world that then

was, being overflowed with water, perished: but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store,

reserved unto fire against the day . 2 Peter 3:5-7

We can see how both the Old Testament and the New Testament predict the doom of the world by fire.

For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the

proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that

cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

Malachi 4:1

Jesus as rewarder

Who will execute the doom?

For the Lord is our judge the Lord is our lawgiver, the

Lord is our king; he shall save us.

Isaiah 33:22

Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will

judge the world in righteousness by that man

whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given

assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him

from death. Acts 17:31

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord

Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the

dead at his appearing and his kingdom. 2 Timothy 4:1

In the Old Testament we see how Jehovah takes charge of the doom of the nations. We know that this Jehovah is Jesus, which

is clearly shown in Acts 17:31 and 2 Timothy 4:1

Jesus will execute his doom with fire

For our God is consuming fire. Hebrews 12:29

For the Lord thy God is consuming fire, even a jealous God. Deuteronomy 4:24

Behold, another connection between the Old Testament and the New Testament. The mere presence of God is no only light (1 John 1:5). We will see now why his presence is

attached to the adjective consuming.

What is Gods doom about?And God shall wipe

away all the tears from their eyes; and there

shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall

there be any more pain: for the former things are

passed away.

Revelation 21:4

He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from

off ak faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken

it.

Isaiah 25:8

The judgement of God consists on erasing death. This implies eradicate sin from the world, because the cause of

death is sin (Romans 6:23).

What is sin?We have seen that the judgement of God consists on erasing sin. Nevertheless, it sound quite ambiguous if we do not have awareness of what sin is. Therefore, we will see how the Bible

defines sin.Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the

law.

1 John 3:4

Scriptures make it crystal clear. But which law is John telling us about?

The Law of 1 John 3:4

The apostle John had the same faith and the same beliefs that the other apostles and disciples had once the Holy Spirit was poured

upon them (Acts 2). Consequently, the same law James refers to must be the same that John mentions.

For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thow commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

James 2:11

TORAH

Jesus, creator and judgeWe have seen that Jesus is both the creator and the judge of the world. He is who has power to give live, and to take

it away (John 10:18)

In Jesus the history of this wotrld began, and through

him this world will finish, to be restored.

Everything we know, starts and ends up with Jesus.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Revelation 22:13

ConclusionJesus is:

- Creator

- Judge

- Old Testaments Jehovah

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Revelation 22:13
