Jesus the God of the Old and the New Testament

 ^Jn:5-39  Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
The scriptures start at Genesis and end at Malachi.

This lesson has come about because many that call themselves Christians believe Jesus didn't come on the scene until the new testament through the birth of Mary. We will prove Jesus is the God of the Old and New Testament. The scripture tells us: my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Hosea:4,6

Let's start in Gen:1-1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth . This is the same God referred to in, Jn:1-1,3,14   In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
² The same was in the beginning with God.³ All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. v-14: 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.

Based on scripture Jesus is the only God man has ever known, heard or seen, altho many have said they heard the voice of God and thought it was the Father speaking to them. Sorry not so.
Look at Jn:5-37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

Jn:1-18, No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

Jn:6-46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

But if we look at Ex:24-8,10 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words.

Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.

Who is this? None other than Jesus, he let Moses and the elders take a good look at him so it be no mistake who it is giving them the Ten Commandments He is the God of the Old and New Testament

In 1Jn:4-1 the word says, try the spirits whether they be of God; All this stuff people are saying God said, if you can't find it in the bible he didn't say it. In Amos:3-7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

If we look at Lk:24,25-27 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. Jesus want us to believe the prophets because he is the one that gave them the word. He also gave Moses the Ten Commandments written with his own fingers. Ex;31-18

Paul said it like this, in Acts:24-14,15 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

The Father and Jesus existed before the world was, they live in eternity. Ps:90,1-4 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

In Is:57-15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Is:44-6 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 beside me there is no God. Now let’s find out who is this Lord, King of Israel that has declared himself to be the first and the last and besides him there is no God.

Ez:43:1-2,7  Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:

• ² And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.⁷ And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places. This is Jesus

In Rev:1-8 ,11, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty v-11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and what thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. It’s Jesus again Also look at  Rev:22-12,13

We will continue this lesson in part 2
