Isaiah 40:3 A voice is calling, "Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; Make
smooth in the desert a highway for our God.”

2
Mark 1:2-4 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: "BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER
3
AHEAD OF YOU, WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY; THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE
WILDERNESS,
'MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.'" John the Baptist
4
appeared in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

Calling upon Yahweh in Joel 2:32 is seen as identical and parallel to calling upon Jesus in Romans
10:13

Joel 2:32 "And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the LORD Will be
delivered;
For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem There will be those who escape, As the LORD has
said,
Even among the survivors whom the LORD calls.

Romans 10:13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."

The glory of Yahweh in Isaiah 6: 1-5 is said to be the glory of Jesus in John 12:41.

Isaiah 6: 1-5 In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with
1
the train of His robe filling the temple. Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings: with two he
2
3
covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called out to another
and said, "Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts, The whole earth is full of His glory." And the
4
foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the temple was filling
5
with smoke. Then I said, "Woe is me, for I am ruined Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I live
among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."
John 12:41 These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him.

Yahweh’s voice “like the roar of rushing waters (Ezekiel 43:2) is identical to Jesus’ voice in Rev. 1:15

Ezekiel 43:2 and behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the way of the east And His
2
voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.

Rev. 1:15 His feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His
15
voice was like the sound of many waters.

The description of Yahweh as an everlasting light in Isaiah 60: 19-20 is seen as
identical to the statement about Jesus as an everlasting light in Rev. 21: 23.

19
Isaiah 60: 19-20 "No longer will you have the sun for light by day, Nor for brightness
will the moon give you light; But you will have the LORD for an everlasting light, And
your God for your glory.
20 "Your sun will no longer set, Nor will your moon wane; For you will have the LORD for
an everlasting light, And the days of your mourning will be over.
