Chapter 75: Proof that Jesus was God's Name in the Book of Exodus.

IN THE BOOK OF EXODUS: we also see that the name of God Himself, which He says was not revealed to Abraham or Jacob, was Jesus and was revealed mysteriously through Moses. It is written: "And the Lord spoke to Moses, 'Tell this people, Behold, I send My angel before you to guard you on the way and bring you into the land I have prepared for you. Pay attention to Him and obey Him; do not defy Him. For He will not pardon your rebellion, for My name is in Him.'" Understand that He who led your ancestors into the land is called Jesus, first known as Auses (Oshea).

If you grasp this, you will also see that the one who said to Moses, "for My name is in Him," was Jesus.

Indeed, He was also called Israel, and Jacob's name was changed to this as well. Isaiah shows that those prophets sent to deliver messages from God are called His angels and apostles. Isaiah says at one point, "Send me." It is clear to all that the prophet whose name was changed to Jesus [Joshua] was strong and great.

If we know that God revealed Himself in so many forms to Abraham, Jacob, and Moses, how can we be confused and not believe that, according to the will of the Father of all things, it was possible for Him to be born as a man from the Virgin, especially when we have such Scriptures that clearly show He became so according to the will of the Father?
