E
he pre-incarnate Jesus IS NOT YHWH of the OT! He did, however act on the behalf of YHWH as recorded in such passages as found in Gen.18 and 32, in a few of His many theophanies.
The exclusive name for the Father is YHWH. The capitolized "Lord" is used for both the Father and the Son. Take note of thenames and titles for both the Father and the Son: Ps.110:1; 1 Cor.8:6: 1 Tim.2:5 and Rev.19:16.
The English word "Lord" appears 8012 times in the King James Version. In the Old Testament, the most common Hebrew word translated "Lord" is "YHWH," probably pronounced "Yahweh" and also transliterated as "Jehovah." This is the personal name of the Hebrew God. This word occupies about 3/4 of the occurrences of "Lord" in the King James Version.
Here is the reason it has been rendered "Lord" instead of "Yahweh": In fear of disobeying the commandment to not use Yahweh's name in vain, eventually Jews started reading it as "Adonai" instead (Adonai means "my lord"). When the Old Testament was translated into Greek (the Septuagint), the Greek word "Kurios" (Lord) was used. The Hebrew manuscripts (Masoretic texts) of the Old Testament maintained the word "YHWH," but ascribed to it the pronunciation "Adonai." For these reasons, the modern Bible as Lord.astranslators usually translate "YHWH"
It is no surprise that the main word translated "Lord" in the NT is the Greek word "kurios," which is used to refer to both Yahweh and Jesus Christ.
God makes it clear in the OT, He is eternal, that there is no other God but He Himself. "....Before me no God was formed, nor will there be one after me." Isa.43:10. And in Isa.44:6, "....I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God." See also Isa.45:5: "I am the Lord and there is no other," and in Ex.3:14: "I AM WHO I AM."
Proveerbs 8:22-25:
22“The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works,[SUP]c[/SUP] [SUP]d[/SUP]before his deeds of old;23I was formed long ages ago,at the very beginning, when the world came to be.24When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,when there were no springs overflowing with water;25before the mountains were settled in place,before the hills, I was given birth,

Quasar92
YHWH is the name given to a single member of the godhead, when only one is being mentioned.
The God of Israel (YHWH) was pre-incarnat Jesus, His name is I I Am or YHWH.. Jesus as much as said this when he said beore abraham was, I I AM (the literal interpretation) He claimed then to be the one who spoke to moses in the firey bush.
Now. Can we please stop talking about what you think, And try to study the word?
again, here is the text. only this time I will give it in context so you can not try to distort it.
“I have declared the former things from the beginning;
They went forth from My mouth, and I caused them to hear it.
Suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Because I knew that you were obstinate,
And your neck was an iron sinew,
And your brow bronze,
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Even from the beginning I have declared it to you;
Before it came to pass I proclaimed it to you,
Lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them,
And my carved image and my molded image
Have commanded them.’ [SUP]6 [/SUP]“You have heard;
See all this.
And will you not declare it?
I have made you hear new things from this time,
Even hidden things, and you did not know them.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]They are created now and not from the beginning;
And before this day you have not heard them,
Lest you should say, ‘Of course I knew them.’
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Surely you did not hear,
Surely you did not know;
Surely from long ago your ear was not opened.
For I knew that you would deal very treacherously,
And were called a transgressor from the womb.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]“For My name’s sake I will defer My anger,
And for My praise I will restrain it from you,
So that I do not cut you off.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver;
I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it;
For how should My name be profaned?
And I will not give My glory to another.
[h=3]God’s Ancient Plan to Redeem Israel[/h][SUP]12 [/SUP]“Listen to Me, O Jacob,
And Israel, My called:
I am He, I am the First,
I am also the Last.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth,
And My right hand has stretched out the heavens;
When I call to them,
They stand up together.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]“All of you, assemble yourselves, and hear!
Who among them has declared these things?
The Lord loves him;
He shall do His pleasure on Babylon,
And His arm shall be against the Chaldeans.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]I, even I, have spoken;
Yes, I have called him,
I have brought him, and his way will prosper.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]“Come near to Me, hear this:
I have not spoken in secret from the beginning;
From the time that it was, I was there.
And now the Lord God and His Spirit
Have[SUP][a][/SUP] sent Me.”
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer,
The Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
Who teaches you to profit,
Who leads you by the way you should go.
Now please, If this is not the Father, or the spirit. who is this man, Who claims to be the LORD GOD, who was sent by the father and his spirit?
It has to be pre-incarnat Jesus. there is no one left to call it..
