This chart shows some names and attributes of
Jehovah, or Yahweh, that the Bible also uses to describe Jesus.
To ascribe most of these names or powers to any one but God would be
blasphemous, yet the Bible clearly ascribes ALL of them to Yeshua Hamashiakh
(Jesus Christ). It points to Yeshua (Jesus) and יהוה being one and the same:
the great "I AM."
