The Scriptures clearly teach that "Jesus", of the New Testament, and "Yahweh", translated "LORD", of the Old Testament, are the same person - the Second Person of the Trinity, the "revealed", or "manifest" Person of Almighty God.

1 Cor. 15:47 states that Jesus is "THE Lord from heaven", (Note: "Lord" has the Greek article "the").  1 Cor. 15:47 is stating that the "Lord", Hebrew "Yahweh" in the Old Testament, is Jesus, before He left His home in heaven and entered the stream of humanity through the virgin birth.

Jesus Christ, of the New Testament, and "Yahweh" of the Old Testament are one and the same:

Yahweh is The Creator: Isa 40:28 (Yahweh)
Jesus is The Creator: John 1:3 (Jesus)

Yahweh is The First and Last: Isa 41:4 44:6 (Yahweh)
Jesus is The First and Last: Rev 1:17, 2:8, & 22:13 (Jesus)

Yahweh is The Forgiver of sins: Jer 31:34 (Yahweh)
Jesus is The Forgiver of sins: Mark 2:7,10 (Jesus)

Yahweh is The Holy One: Isa. 43:3 (Yahweh)

Both are confessed as LORD - Every knee is going to bow and every tongue confess: Isa. 45:21-23 (Yahweh); Phil 2:9-11 (Jesus)

Jesus is eternal:

Col. 1:17 Jesus existed before all things!

John 1:1-4, 10-15, 18, & 30 The "Word" who was "with" God from the "beginning" and who has the attributes and character of God, and who "made all things", and who was "made flesh and dwelt among us".

John 1:30 compared with Luke 1:36, Jesus was born 6 months after John the Baptist, but John the Baptist declared that "He existed before me"!

John 8:58 Jesus said that He existed before Abraham!

John 17:5 "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was".  Again, "Yahweh", the LORD in the Old Testament, left His home in heaven and entered the stream of humanity through the virgin birth.

The "Trinity" in the New Testament:


Matt. 28:19 The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

John 14:26 The Father sends the Holy Spirit, in the Name of Jesus.

John 15:26 again, the Father sends the Holy Spirit, in the Name of Jesus.

1 Peter 1:2, Elect by the Father, sanctified by the Holy Spirit, and sprinkled by the blood of Jesus.

1 Cor. 12:4,5, & 6 Diversities of gifts by the "Spirit", differences of administrations by the same "Lord", and diversities of operations, but it is the same "God" who worketh all in all.

1 John 5:7&8, Three that bare witness in heaven, the "Father", the "Word" and the "Holy Spirit", and these three are one.

2 Cor. 13:14, The grace of the LORD Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, [be] with you all. Amen.
