Only ONE "Saviour" By William F. Dankkenbring
Jesus Christ is plainly called the Saviour in many passages. An angel told Joseph
at the conception of Christ, ". . . you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will
save his people from their sins" (Matt.1:21 KJV). Christ is "the Savior of the world" (John
4:42). Paul preached, "God has brought Israel the Savior Jesus, as he promised" (Acts
13:23). Paul goes further, in his letter to Titus, and exclaims, ". . . while we wait for the
blessed hope -- the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ" (Titus
2:13). Here he clearly calls Jesus not only our Savior but also "our great God." It is
Jesus whose appearing, or return, that we await with bated breath and anxious yearning.
Are there two Saviors? Not according to your Bible! There is only ONE Savior -
- and that is Jesus Christ! The Father has given that responsibility to Christ. The
apostles clearly taught, "Savation is found in NO ONE ELSE, for there is NO OTHER
NAME under heaven given to men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12 KJV).
Now notice what Isaiah wrote: Quoting the LORD YHVH, Isaiah declared, "I,
even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is NO savior. I have revealed and saved
and proclaimed -- I, and not some foreign god among you" (Isa.43:11-12 KJV). Clearly,
then, there is only ONE Savior -- the YHVH, the One who BECAME Jesus
52
Christ!
Again, Isaiah quotes God as saying, "And there is no God apart from me, a
righeous God and a Savior; there is none but me. Turn to me and be saved, all you ends
of the earth; for I am GOD, and there is no other" (Isa.45:21-22 KJV). The reason the One
who became Christ says, here, that only He is God and there is no other is not because
the Father did not also exist, but because the Father had not been revealed to the world
at this time. The Father's identity and existence had been hidden, and was not to be
revealed until Christ came and revealed Him!
Isaiah continues along this theme, "The LORD has made proclamation to the ends
of the earth; 'Say to the Daughter of Zion, "See, your Savior comes! See, his reward is
with him, and his recompense accompanies him"'"(Isa.62:11 KJV).
Notice also the plain and clear statement in Jeremiah: "The days are coming,
declares the LORD, when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King who will
reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah will be saved
and Israel will live in safety. This is the NAME by which he will be called: The
LORD Our Righteousness" (Jer.23:5-8 KJV; see also Jer.33:14-16 KJV). What could be clearer
than this? Christ is plainly called "The LORD [YHVH] Our Righteousness," and God
always names individuals what they are!
Jeremiah also tells us, "Yet their Redeemer is strong; the LORD Almighty is his
name" (Jer.50:34 KJV). In many Scriptures the LORD is referred to as our Redeemer
(Isa.41:14 KJV; 43 KJV;14 KJV; 44:6 KJV, 24 KJV; 47:4 KJV; 59:20 KJV; 60:16 KJV, etc. KJV). Who is our Redeemer? The
disciples said to Jesus, whom they did not recognize, after His resurrection, about
Christ: ". . . and they crucified him, but we had hoped that he was the one who was
going to REDEEM Israel" (Luke 24:20-21 KJV). Jesus Christ "redeemed us to God" by His
shed blood (Rev.5:9 KJV). He is therefore YHVH, the Redeemer!
Ezekiel the Prophet Tells Us Plainly
The prophet Ezekiel explains that the new Temple which is to be built after the
return of the Messiah will have an outer gate facing eastward. Ezekiel was told, "This
gate is to remain shut. It must not be opened; no one may enter through it. It is to
remain shut because the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered through it" (Ezek.44:2 KJV).
Christ will enter His Temple when He returns (Mal.3:1 KJV). The Father will still be in
heaven at this time. Therefore, it should be crystal clear that Ezekiel is here calling
Christ, the Messiah, who returns to the Temple, "the LORD, the God of Israel."
Interestingly, at that time the city of Jerusalem will also have another name.
Ezekiel says, "And the name of the city from that time on will be: THE LORD IS
THERE" (Ezek.48:35 KJV). Which "LORD" or YHVH will be there at that time? Christ
the
Messiah!

Joel is also very explicit in referring to the returning warrior-king, the Christ, as
the YHVH or LORD. This prophet exclaims, prophetically of the second coming,
"Come quickly, all you nations from every side, and assemble there. Bring down your
warriors, O LORD! Let the nations be roused; let them advance into the Valley of
Jehoshaphat, for therre I will sit to judge all the nations on every side" (Joel 3:11-12 KJV).
This clearly refers to Christ returning at the head of a huge army of angelic warriors,
the same as we find described in Matthew 24:30-31 KJV and Revelation 19:11-16. KJV
Jude also referred to this truth, when he wrote: "Enoch, the seventh from Adam,
prophesied about these men: 'See, the LORD is coming with thousands upon thousands
of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly
acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners
have spoken against him" (Jude 14-15 KJV).
