You wrote this concerning APAK's explanation of Isaiah 43:11.
Isaiah 43:11 I, even I, am YHWH; and beside me there is no saviour.
You falsely interpret this verse to mean Yeshua must be YHWH/God because Yeshua is our Saviour and there is no other. The word “Saviour” in Hebrew is “moshia”. Here is how “moshia” was used in
Judges 6:14-15:
“And YHWH looked upon him [Gideon], and said, Go in this your might, and you shall save [moshia] Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent you? And he said unto Him, Oh my Adonai, how shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.”
These words were spoken to Gideon long before YHWH used Isaiah to prophesy about there being no Saviour besides Him. I’ll comment on how this can be after I give a few more examples.
“And YHWH gave Israel a saviour [moshia], so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime.”
2 Kings 13:5
We learn that the saviour YHWH gave them was Joash (vs.25).
Nehemiah 9:27 speaks of saviours that YHWH sent to save Israel.
“Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto you, you heard them from heaven; and according to your manifold mercies you gave them saviours [moshiaim], who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.”
Obadiah also prophesied about future saviours that will be sent to Israel.
“And saviours [moshiaim] shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be YHWH’s.”
Obadiah 1:21
From the Scripture references given above, it is clear that there were other saviours besides YHWH both before and after the words spoken by Isaiah in our opening verse. How are we to take those apparent contradictions? Did the Almighty make a mistake? Do we reject His prophets because they prophesied falsely? Or do we seek to harmonize all the texts?
It seems obvious to me that when YHWH said there was no other Saviour except Him, He was declaring Himself the ONE TRUE SAVIOUR. As such, He can choose any method He wants to save people. He can choose to save by Himself or He can choose to save by raising up men to act as saviours. The men He raises up do not replace YHWH as the ultimate Saviour from whom all salvation flows. They are vessels through whom YHWH saves. If YHWH can and has used men in the past to be saviours, then why can’t He use His Messiah to save people as well? If YHWH can use men to bring about a temporal salvation to His people, why can’t He use His Messiah to bring about an eternal salvation for His people? He can and He has.
He has also placed in Torah the life of Joseph which is an uncanny parallel with the life of Yeshua. YHWH used Joseph to save not only the children of Israel, but many others from the nation stricken by the famine. Consider the following two verses.
Genesis 45:7 – And Elohim (God) sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
Genesis 50:20 - But as for you, you thought evil against me; but Elohim meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
The starving nations had to come to Joseph for food and to save their lives. He was a type of Messiah Yeshua to whom the world must come for spiritual food and salvation. Yeshua is the bread of life and the YHWH appointed Saviour of the world. If YHWH could use Joseph to save people, He could use His Messiah, Yeshua, to save people as well. However, the salvation we receive through Yeshua is far more efficacious than the temporal salvation received through Joseph. For salvation through Yeshua is eternal. Yet, that eternal salvation is directly caused by YHWH sending Yeshua to be the Saviour of the world. That makes YHWH our ultimate Saviour and Yeshua the means through which YHWH saves us.
