God of gods – Host of hosts

A Stronger character than any man, needed by all of them

All human beings are created in the image of God. In each person there may be elements or parts, call it some fragments of DNA of the Most High Divine Creator of all things.

The Elohim Hashem Jehovah

We may live in a troubled world, for sure it is a world where not many are loving the Creator God. Some people in this world are looking forward to the return of Jesus Christ, the son of God, holding fast to the Word of God for getting wisdom.

That Word given to us where is told that God, who can not be seen by man, does not tell lies, tells us that there can only be One True Eternal God, who is One. He was the One Who presented Himself to His creation and Who was the El Shaddai Who appeared to Abraham. It is undeniable that the person Jesus, referred to in the Bible, the sword of the Spirit, asked us to come into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of him, the son of God, who declared himself and the Father as separate.

The Most High All Mighty God of gods is the One Who makes that everything we see can exist. He, Who does not change, allows everything to be. Being God Almighty, He has the power to do whatever He wants in order to accomplish His purposes. (Genesis 17:1) He does not look down on His creatures but wants a good relationship with them.
He says that He delights in justice, graciousness, and righteousness:

“22 “Speak, ‘This is what the utterance of Jehovah is: “The dead bodies of mankind* must also fall like manure upon the face of the field and like a row of newly cut grain after the reaper, with no one to do the gathering up.”’”+23 This is what Jehovah has said: “Let not the wise man brag about himself because of his wisdom,+ and let not the mighty man brag about himself because of his mightiness.+ Let not the rich man brag about himself because of his riches.”+
24 “But let the one bragging about himself brag about himself because of this very thing, the having of insight+ and the having of knowledge of me, that I am Jehovah,+ the One exercising loving-kindness, justice* and righteousness in the earth;+ for in these things I do take delight,”+ is the utterance of Jehovah..” (Jeremiah 9:22-24)
“8 For I, Jehovah, am loving justice,+ hating robbery along with unrighteousness.*+ And I will give their wages in trueness,+ and an indefinitely lasting covenant I shall conclude toward them.+ 9 And their offspring* will actually be known even among the nations,+ and their descendants in among the peoples. All those seeing them will recognize them,+ that they are the offspring whom Jehovah has blessed.”+” (Isaiah 61:8-9)

Many people may not at all be interested in God’s existence. There is no searching of His understanding. (Isaiah 40:28). It is true that for man it is very difficult to proof the existence of God scientifically or to believe in something where we have absolutely no evidence for. Many will say to you

“You are deluded! There’s no evidence for God.”

“This is just wishful thinking that comforts you. Grow up, face reality, and only believe what you have evidence to support!”

But we should know that it is given to the fool to say that God does not exist. (Psalm 14:1)

If God does not exist, then lots of people their personal experience of a non-existent God is delusional. If Christianity is false, then the commonplace experience of experiencing God’s love through nature, conversations at work, and caring for neighbours is simply, plainly delusional. In such case we can say that the brain is clearly misfiring to give the perception of the supernatural when everything is really just matter and energy. Though lots of people also want to see and compare God with themselves, but God cannot be seen and He is not one like ourself. (Psalm 50:21)
God reproves the wicked man and gave His Word for man to get Him to know better. To start with, a good summary definition of God is

“the Supreme Being; the Creator and Ruler of all that is; the Self-existent One who is perfect in power, goodness, and wisdom.”

God is not only

“the source of life.” (Psalm 36:9)

but also the

“Sustainer of life”.

“He did not leave Himself without witness in that He did good, giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts to the full with food and good cheer.” (Acts 14:17)

From the pages of the Bible, by which we can come to know our Creator, Jehovah, and learn what kind of God He is, it is revealed that

“God is love.” (1 John 4:16; Exodus 34:6, 7)

The 66 books which form a harmonious collection, called the Bible (from Genesis to Revelation), give numerous accounts showing Who is behind everything. By God’s Words we can learn it was man himself who abandoned God, but that God always was there for man to show His love. Always have justice and equity been very important to God. But so are grace and mercy. And so, while God will hold everyone accountable, each for their own lives, He extends His grace to the repentant sinner. He promises that,

“‘21 “‘Now as regards someone wicked, in case he should turn back from all his sins that he has committed+ and he should actually keep all my statutes and execute justice and righteousness,+ he will positively keep living. He will not die.+ 22 All his transgressions that he has committed—they will not be remembered against him.+ For his righteousness that he has done he will keep living.’+

23 “‘Do I take any delight at all in the death of someone wicked,’+ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, ‘[and] not in that he should turn back from his ways and actually keep living?’+ … 32 “‘For I do not take any delight in the death of someone dying,’+ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah. ‘So cause a turning back and keep living,+ O YOU people.’”'” (Ezekiel 18: 21-23, 32 Ref.B.)

Brother Robert Roberts wrote:

” God’s goodness is seen in nothing more than in this- insistence on His own glory and supremacy as the first condition of human fellowship with him: for how stands the fact?
That man seeking his own glory fails by the very constitution of things to attain any good at all.
Man living for himself cannot rise to even what possibilities of good lie latent in his organization as a creature formed in the image of the Elohim. He necessarily sinks into all kinds of earth gravitating ignoblenesses: languishes in sluggishness and ennui [boredom]; spends his fire and his interest, and sinks in a quagmire of vanity and vexation of spirit.
For a man to see God and love and worship and serve Him is, on the contrary, to rise to beauties and joys of life even now that are outside the highest experiences or conceptions of the most dashing child of disobedience . . .
How good for God to insist that without His exaltation in the way He has appointed there can be no fellowship or well-being or life”

“The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards Him.” (2 Chronicles 16:9) .

This is true now; for there is no change with God; but

“we walk by faith and not by sight.”

That is, God works not visibly in His present dispensation toward the sons of men. If He did, there would be no scope for the faith which He is seeking to develop. He works invisibly. He has all things in His hands, and can by very slight diversions, and with no apparent interference with the will of men, turn the current of events around us into any channel He pleases, causing all things to work together for the good of those who are the called, according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28). On this great truth, the prayer of faith is founded; and because of faith, the righteous prayer is heard, even to the supply of “the things we have need of.”

Rejoice, then, all ye righteous,

“for the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly. O Lord of Hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in Thee.” (Psalm 84:2 : 12)

Brother A. T. Jannaway wrote in The Christadelphian 1890:

Let us not trouble ourselves about the apparent hardness and arbitrariness of the divine conditions of salvation. God is all-wise, and therefore knows what is best. No amount of dissatisfaction on our part will cause God to alter the conditions; neither will our tampering with them change them.
In dealing with this matter, we must be sensible and honest. God would have all men to be saved, but all men will not be saved,
because, for a variety of known and unknown reasons, they will not fall in with this simple and reasonable condition.
God’s method will sift the sons of men as in a sieve.Mercy is the tranquility of God’s omnipotence, and the sweetness of His omnipresence: the fruit of His eternity, and the compassion of His immensity; the chief satisfaction of His justice; the triumph of His wisdom, and the patient perseverance of His love.
Wherever we go – there is mercy; the peaceful, active, broad, deep, endless mercy of our Heavenly Father.
If we work by day, we work in mercy’s light, and we sleep at night in the lap of our Father’s mercy.God is truth, love, wisdom, and all might.
We are, as it were blind.
By degrees He opens our eyes and enables us by dint of sore trial – to know him little by little.
Every time the flesh is foiled by the spirit, so often is a rent made in the veil, and we know more of God.
Every time the reverse takes place, so often does the veil fall again and God disappears from our view.
The doctrines of men thicken this veil, and the first thing for the acceptance of truth is to unlearn human doctrines and become as a little child.
Hence a Publican finds it easier to accept the truth than a Pharisee.

The loving God made a provision for the ones who want to repent. A provision to atone for the sins of those who want to be made right with Him. Throughout the centuries God has called man to come to Him. Those willing to hear His Voice and listening to it, taking those words at heart, God always welcomes them as His children.

Brother Robert Roberts in his ‘Diary of a Voyage‘ wrote:

The doctrines of the truth embody the thoughts of God, and the thoughts of God are higher than the thoughts of man, and, therefore, the majority of men easily fail to rise to the height of them, or easily fall from their height when lifted up to them.
The death of Christ has more to do with the exaltation of God than the salvation of man.
Most men take in the latter more easily than the former, and quickly get astray through the power of mere humanitarianism.God’s goodness is seen in nothing more than in this- insistence on His own glory and supremacy as the first condition of human fellowship with him: for how stands the fact?
That man seeking his own glory fails by the very constitution of things to attain any good at all. Man living for himself cannot rise to even what possibilities of good lie latent in his organization as a creature formed in the image of the Elohim.
He necessarily sinks into all kinds of earth gravitating ignoblenesses: languishes in sluggishness and ennui; spends his fire and his interest, and sinks in a quagmire of vanity and vexation of spirit.
For a man to see God and love and worship and serve Him is, on the contrary, to rise to beauties and joys of life even now that are outside the highest experiences or conceptions of the most dashing child of disobedience . . .
How good for God to insist that without His exaltation in the way He has appointed there can be no fellowship or well-being or life. {Robert Roberts}

Several lovers of God did not mind continuing publishing the Name of the divine Creator, though the world did everything to have His Name to disappear in oblivion. They have forgotten that God’s Name shall resound over the earth for ever. In the past as well now and in the future many will proclaim the name of the God Who is above all the gods, man made for himself. They, like we, ascribe the greatness unto our God and want to be His children. We do know that He is the Light-tower, the Watchtower and the Rock, Whose work is perfect and on Who we may always count.

Many people shall try to judge you when you go looking for God or when you have found God and want to worship only Him, as we do, please do know then man’s judgement is not so important as the ways of God which are the most righteous judgement:

A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, Just and right is He. The world has dealt corruptly with Him, because they do not want to be His children, it is their blemish. They are a perverse and crooked generation. Do ye thus requite the All Mighty LORD of Lord of lords? Remember that you might be foolish people and unwise by ignoring the Most High Establisher God. We too should remember the days of old, considering the years of many generations.

Know that when you ask for God the Father, He will show Himself to you. When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the children of men, He set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel. For God’s portion is His people, He will be their Mighty Rock, fence, safety and fortress, their refuge, the best intimate relation to look for. The God of our rock, in Him we will trust and hope that you also will take Him as your shield and the horn of your salvation, your high tower, and your refuge. So that you also may find hope and courage for everyday living. That you might gain Christ and trust Jehovah. Remember that He alone is the Most High Saviour, because He authorised the man from Nazareth to be His arrow of salvation so that this man could be a saviour for mankind and to be a mediator between God and man, the helmet of salvation we do have to accept. (Deuteronomy 32:3-9,12-20; 2 Samuel 22:3; 2 Kings 13:17; Psalm 3:8; Luke 1:69,77; Acts 4:1; Ephesians 6:17)

At this site and at our Weebly blog we like to present you with texts so that you shall be able to come to know the Creator deity, the Adonai Elohim Hashem Jehovah and see the difference between Him and His sent one, His only begotten son, the “Messiah,” a Servant who willingly suffered and died a vicarious death in order to pay for the sins of those who would repent and trust in Him.

Why not make it a habit to read God’s Word daily in order to get to know your Creator? Study the Bible carefully with the help of those who are familiar with its contents. (Acts 8:26-35) Doing so, you will see that he is also a God of justice, who will not permit wickedness forever. (Deuteronomy 32:4) Maintaining a balance between love and justice is not easy for man, but in His wisdom, Jehovah keeps them in perfect balance. (Romans 11:33; 16:27) Being God Almighty, He has the power to do whatever He wants in order to accomplish his purposes. (Genesis 17:1) Try to apply the wise counsel that you find in the Bible, and you will appreciate your Creator even more, realizing that His counsel always works to our benefit. Plus remember that God knows your heart and wants you to make the right choices and to act as if everything you think say and do determines your life.

Looking at what the Bible says about יהוה = Jehovah, the Most High Lord of lords and Host of hosts

For those who say only the Authorised Version of King James is the right Bible, we would like to ask them to have a look at what it says about God.

Isaiah 48:16-22 KJV-1611 (16) Come ye neere vnto me; heare ye this; I haue not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I; and now the Lord God and his Spirit hath sent me. (17) Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, the holy one of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest goe. (18) O that thou haddest hearkened to my commandements! Then had thy peace beene as a riuer, and thy righteousnesse as the waues of the sea. (19) Thy seede also had beene as the sand, and the ofspring of thy bowels like the grauell thereof: his name should not haue beene cut off, nor destroyed from before me. (20) Goe yee forth of Babylon: flee yee from the Caldeans, with a voyce of singing, declare yee, tell this, vtter it euen to the end of the earth: say yee; The Lord hath redeemed his seruant Iacob. (21) And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rocke for them: he claue the rocke also, and the waters gushed out. (22) There is no peace, saith the Lord, vnto the wicked.

Isaiah 42:8 KJV-1611 I am the Lord {יהוה Jehovah}; that is my name, and my glory will I not giue to another, neither my praise to grauen images.

Exodus 20:3-7 KJV-1611 Thou shalt haue no other Gods before me. (4) Thou shalt not make vnto thee any grauen Image, or any likenesse of any thing that is in heauen aboue, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water vnder the earth. (5) Thou shalt not bow downe thy selfe to them, nor serue them: For I the Lord thy God am a iealous God, visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon the children, vnto the thirde and fourth generation of them that hate me: (6) And shewing mercy vnto thousands of them that loue mee, and keepe my Commandements. (7) Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vaine: for the Lord will not holde him guiltlesse, that taketh his Name in vaine.

Exodus 6:2-3 KJV-1611 And God spake vnto Moses, and said vnto him, I am the Lord. (3) And I appeared vnto Abraham, vnto Isaac, and vnto Iacob, by the Name of God Almighty, but by my name IEHOVAH was I not knowen to them.

Psalms 83:18 KJV-1611 That men may knowe, that thou, whose name alone is IEHOVAH: art the most High ouer all the earth.

Deuteronomy 10:17 KJV-1611 (17) For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward.

Deuteronomy 32:3-9 KJV-1611 (3) Because I wil publish the Name of the Lord: ascribe yee greatnesse vnto our God. (4) He is the rocke, his worke is perfect: for all his wayes are Iudgement: A God of trueth, and without iniquity, iust and right is he. (5) They haue corrupted themselues, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a peruerse and crooked generation. (6) Doe ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people, & vnwise? Is not he thy Father that hath bought thee? Hath he not made thee, and established thee? (7) Remember the dayes of olde, consider the yeeres of many generations: aske thy father, and he will shewe thee, thy Elders, and they wil tell thee. (8) When the most High diuided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sonnes of Adam, hee set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. (9) For the Lords portion is his people: Iacob is the lot of his inheritance.
