New Testament Confirmation
In fulfillment of Isaiah 45:23, where Jehovah claims the knee and tongue of all-- "I have sworn by Myself, the Word is gone out of My mouth in Righteousness, and shall not return, That unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear"
(Isaiah 45:23)-- the New Testament writers understood this to be spoken of Jesus, but its final fulfilment yet awaits His Second Coming.
"6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the Death of the Cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name:
10 that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven, and things in Earth, and things under the Earth;
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the Glory of God the Father"
(Philippians 2:6-11). Though Jesus shows Himself to be the "Living God, Who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe"
(1Timothy 4:10) in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, it is plain in the last book of the Christian New Testament that He reserves for Himself all the capacities and responsibilities of the "Judge of All the Earth"
(Genesis 18:25) to execute Judgment upon His enemies.
"13 And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in Blood: and His Name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in Heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of His mouth goeth a Sharp Sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a Rod of Iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and Wrath of Almighty God.
16 And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a Name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS"
(Revelation 19:13-16).
"10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the Earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His Wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him" (Psalm 2:10-12).
Hebrew Affirmation:
This is a potent portion of Messianic Psalm that reveals perhaps more directly than any other that the Messiah, Who is the Son begotten of Jehovah (Psalm 2:7), must be given all the prerogatives of treatment that befit His Father, "lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His Wrath is kindled but a little"
(Psalm 2:12). If one is to believe the Hebrew Scriptures, it would force one to conclude that the Son must be Divine-- "The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace"
(Isaiah 9:6)-- which He is. The theme of trusting Jehovah the Father is here repeated, but now in reference to Messiah the Son, i.e., "Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him"
(Psalm 2:12). "3 Thou wilt keep him in Perfect Peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee.
4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is Everlasting Strength" (Isaiah 26:3-4).
Christian Confirmation:
Again, we are told that Jesus, Who is called the Christ, will pass Judgment upon all the world, for He said, "All Power is given unto Me in Heaven and in Earth"
(Matthew 28:18), and He shall judge the world as a shepherd would separate sheep from goats.
"31 When the Son of Man shall come in His Glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the Throne of His Glory:
32 And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 and He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 for I was an hungred, and ye gave Me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me in:
36 naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in prison, and ye came unto Me.
37 Then shall the Righteous answer Him, saying, LORD, when saw we Thee an hungred, and fed Thee? or thirsty, and gave Thee drink?
38 When saw we Thee a stranger, and took Thee in? or naked, and clothed Thee?
39 Or when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto Thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me.
41 Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from Me, ye cursed, into Everlasting Fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 for I was an hungred, and ye gave Me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took Me not in: naked, and ye clothed Me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited Me not.
44 Then shall they also answer Him, saying, LORD, when saw we Thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto Thee?
45 Then shall He answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to Me.
46 And these shall go away into Everlasting Punishment: but the Righteous into Life Eternal" (Matthew 25:31-46).
