For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
Isaiah 11:1

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.Isaiah 28:10

Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Matthew 1:23

I said as YHWH

Isaiah 48:12

“Listen to Me, Jacob,
and Israel, the one called by Me:
I am He; I am the first,
I am also the last"

Who is the Speaker in this verse/passage, and what do the words, "I am the first, I am also the last", mean?

Bible Gateway passage: Isaiah 48 - Holman Christian Standard Bible

Comparing the above biblical text with Revelation 1:v.1 and 17

1 - The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his MESSENGER (in fact an archangel) unto his servant John:

17 - 7 And when I -John- saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

When GOD sent the same MESSENGER to speak with Moses in the mount Sinai, he presented himself in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush, saying: I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Exodus 3:v.6 and in Exodus 23:v.20-21 GOD said to Moses: 20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee (in fact an Archangel), to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for MY NAME is in him. What NAME? In that occasion"I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

Another interesting biblical detail: When the archangel appeared to Moses, Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.Exodus 3:v.3

And John in the island of Patmos, said: I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man (one similar unto the Son of man).

And Isaiah prophesied: And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. Isaiah 30:v.21

Ezekiel 3:v.12 -
12 Then the spirit took me up, and I heard BEHIND ME a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place.

13 I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.

14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me.

15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.

And now? Now, in the time of Apocalipse, and not so far from these days, we will see the terrible events of the last 7 years, or the last week of years, and mainly the fulfillment of Matthew 24.

Get ready

P.S.
Who is the Speaker?

Isaiah 48:1 is very clear, that Yahweh is the Speaker in verse 12. The words "I am the first, I also am the last." literally means The Eternal God, without beginning and end.

These words are also Spoken by Jesus Christ in Revelation 1:18; 2:8 and 22:13, which makes Jesus Christ the Eternal God, YHWH.

Unitarianism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and anyone else that denies that Great Bible Truth about Jesus Christ, are destroyed by these Scriptures!
Note: “Mormons”100% believe that Jesus Christ is the 100% divine Son of God. The Alpha and Omega. Salvation is through faith in Him.

— An actual “Mormon”.

So Mormon theology teaches that Jesus Christ is Almighty God and the Holy Spirit and the Father? The Holy Trinity?
The Father, Son, and Spirit are 3 persons in 1 God.

There are disagreements with some Creedal statements on the nature of God. Specific example: Athanasian Creed’s statements on substance.

As YHWH the Eternal God, Jesus Christ was never born
You are quite confused. The eternal and uncreated Godhead (YHWH) consists of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But God the Son (God the Word) voluntarily took human form as Jesus of Nazareth and was born in a manger. Now if you do not believe that, you have a very serious problem.

YHWH is the Name of the Persons in the Godhead and not the Godhead. Elohim is God

I am talking about my own discussions with Mormons years ago, not from a book
I’m guessing there was a communication disconnect. It happens regularly.

For example, a ton of LDS Christians (incorrectly) think that Creedal Christians believe the Father, Son, and Spirit are all 1 person ( formally known as modalism).
