HEBR. 13. 8. Iesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for euer.
BY the name of Jehovah was God known to Israel; from the time of the first mission of Moses to them, and their manumission out of Egypt: and not before. For saith God to Moses aI appeared unto Abraham, and unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the Name of God Almighty; but by my Name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. This (I Am) is an eternal word, comprehending three times; that was, that is, and is to come.
BY the name of Iehouah was God knowne to Israel; from the time of the first mission of Moses to them, and their manumission out of Egypt: and not before. For sayth God to Moses aI appeared vnto Abraham, and vnto Isaac, and vnto Iacob, by the Name of God Almightie; but by my Name IEHOVAH was I not knowne to them. This (I Am) is an eternall word, comprehending three times; that was, that is, and is to come.
Now to testify the equality of the Son to the Father, the Scripture gives the same Eternity to Jesus, that it doth to Jehovah. He is called Alpha and Omega, Primus & novissimus, the First and the Last: which is, which was, and which is to come.
