(iii) Jesus Is The God Of The Old Testament:

Though many individuals directly interracted with God in the Old Testament, Jesus Christ emphatically stated that no man has either seen or heard the Father. If the Lord, God of the Old Testament was not God the Father, then Who was it? Scriptures teach it was none other than the One revealed as the Word of God in the New Testament, Jesus Christ. Always has He done the Father's will and delivered His truth, not only to the patriarchs in the Old Testament, but also to various witnesses in the New.

John 1:18, 5:37, 6:46 - AFV

6:46   "No one has seen the Father except He Who is from God; He has seen the Father."

2.   And all were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
3.   And they all ate the same spiritual meat.
4.   And they all drank of the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them. And that Rock was Christ.

13.   Who has personally rescued us from the power of darkness and has transferred us unto the kingdom of the Son of His love;
14   In Whom we have redemption through His own blood, even the remission of sins;
15.   Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;
16.   Because by Him were all things created, the things in heaven and the things on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether they be thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him.
17.   And He is before all, and by Him all things subsist.

Hebrews 1:1-2, 10 - AFV
