12:41 When did Isaiah see Jesus' glory?
(CP Isa 6:1-12). The Lord Isaiah saw here sitting upon the throne, high and lifted up, whose train filled the temple, is the one we now know as the Lord Jesus Christ. In V1, 8, 11 He is Adonay, meaning Ruler, Master. In V3, 5, 12 He is called Jehovah denoting God in the Old Testament.
All these names belonged to the one person in these passages, and as it was Jesus' glory John said Isaiah saw, then the names belonged to the preincarnate Jesus.
This is clear proof of Jesus' Deity, and is further evidence that Jesus was not eternally the Son of God, but that He became the Son at His incarnation (see also comments on Mt 1:18-21, 3:16-17; Lu 1:35(B); Jn 1:1, 5:16-23; Ac 13:33, 20:28; Php 2:5-8, Col 2:9; 1Ti 3:16; He 1:5, 5:5; 1Jn 5:6-9; Rev 1:8 and author's studies Jesus - Eternally God in his book Advanced Studies in the Christian Faith (Volume 1),
