For David himself says in the book of Psalms, "Jehovah [Yehovah] said to my lord, Sit at
my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet." David, therefore, calls
him "lord"; so how is he his son?

In the book of Hebrews, which discusses the role of Christ as the High Priest of God (Ye-
hovah) we find written --

Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest
[Christ], who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a
Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the LORD [YEHOVAH --
YHVH] erected, and not man.

In Psalm 110 (and other passages) YEHOVAH speaks to the Messiah (Christ), exalts him,
empowers him, and counts him as His beloved chosen one -- but NEVER is the Messiah (Christ)
confused with Yehovah God! How could these texts be any plainer -- in Hebrew or in English? All
one has to do is to read the texts with an open mind and take the language he sees there seriously.
No careful student of the Bible could ever remotely come up with the distorted idea that Jesus
Christ and God the Father (Yehovah -- YHVH) are one and the same!

Incidentally, those who know and use the Divine Name (YHVH) and recognize that this is a
NAME -- not a title such as LORD -- seldom have any problem telling YEHOVAH apart from His
Messiah, Christ. In other words, the LOSS of the understanding of the Sacred Name has greatly
contributed to the current confusion in many of the Churches of God.

With few exceptions, this CLEAR DISTINCTION between YEHOVAH and His Messiah
(Christ) is maintained throughout the New Testament texts. Please note the following:

Acts 2:36: "Therefore let all the house of Israel know for a certainty that God made him both lord
and Christ [Messiah], this Jesus whom you impaled." Note that in the Greek of the New Testament
the word for "lord" in this passage is NOT the same as the word used for YEHOVAH.

Acts 3:13: "The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers [i.e., YEHOVAH,
YHVH!] has glorified His servant Yeshua [Christ]."

Acts 4:26: "The kings of the earth took their stand and the rulers massed together as one against
JEHOVAH [YEHOVAH] and against His anointed one [Christ]." (The Kingdom Interlinear
Translation of the Greek Scriptures).

This same text, in the Jewish New Testament, reads as follows --

By the Ruach HaKodesh, through the mouth of our father David, your servant, you said,
"Why did the nations rage and the peoples devise useless plans? The kings of the earth
took their stand; and the rulers assembled together against ADONAI [YEHOVAH] and
against HIS MESSIAH [CHRIST]." This has come true in this city, since Herod and Pon-
tius Pilate, with Goyim and the peoples of Israel, all assembled against your holy servant
