Ancient Of Days (Daniel 7:9): God is without beginning, eternally full of wisdom and honor. As the Eldest, He is worthy of our greatest respect.

When the Lord delivered us from the Egyptians, and brought us safely through the Red Sea, then Moses and the sons of Israel asked, "Mee chah moh cha ba elim Adonai? Who is like You among the mighty ones O Lord?" The answer was, is now, and always will be, "There is none like You!"

Names, Titles And Descriptions For The Son Of God That Are Found In The Tenach (Old Testament)

Adonai Tzidkaynu - the Lord our Righteousness (Jeremiah 23:6): This is a prophecy about a human being who comes from the royal line of King David. He will ascend to David’s throne, save the Jewish people, and rule over us with wisdom and righteousness. The Lord is righteous - everything that He does, and everything that He says is perfectly good and right. Since He is our righteousness, He enables those who trust in Him to have a right relationship with Him, and be considered righteous by Him. Ultimate, saving righteousness doesn't come by keeping commandments or doing good deeds, but by developing a right relationship with Adonai Tzidkaynu and being declared righteous by Him.

The Son of David is also Adonai, and possesses all the attributes of Adonai. Adonai is also referred to as the "Tetragrammaton," which means "The Four Letters," because it comes from four Hebrew letters: Yud, Hay, Vav, Hay. This name comes from the Hebrew verb which means "to be." The title Adonai emphasizes God as the Supreme Source of all being, all reality, and all existence. He has life and being inherent in Himself. Everything else derives its existence from Him. Adonai is without beginning and without end because He always is. He is involved in creation, but is Himself beyond this creation. Messiah has life and being inherent in Himself: Yeshua said, "For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;" (John 5:26). He gives existence to and sustains all things: All things came into being by Him (John 1:3). He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together (Colossians 1:17). He upholds all things by the word of His power (Hebrews 1:3). Furthermore, the Son of God claimed to be Adonai. When asked by some Jewish leaders how He could claim to have seen Abraham, who lived 2,000 years earlier, Yeshua replied: "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” (John 8:58), I Am being an essential part of the Tetragrammaton. As Adonai, Yeshua has all the resources to rule over Israel with wisdom and righteousness, to save the Jewish people, and give us a right standing and relationship with God.

Messiah (Psalm 2:2): The anointed Prophet, anointed Priest and anointed King. Messiah Himself uniquely embodies all three offices in one Person. He is the Prophet greater than Moses, the Priest greater than Aaron, and the King greater than David. He was not merely anointed with oil (a symbol of God's presence) as were Israel's earthly prophets, priests and kings, but He was anointed with the Holy Spirit of God, the reality to whom the oil points! Moses was indeed great, having performed miracles, saved us out of Egypt, mediated the covenant at Sinai, taught us God's laws, and led us, but Yeshua is far greater! He performed greater miracles, saved us from sin and death, is the mediator of the New and Eternal Covenant - one which saves and blesses all the families of the Earth. Not only did He teach us, but He Himself is the Living Torah. He is our High Priest, who offers a better sacrifice for us Himself. He fully atones for us, reconciles us to God, lives forever and intercedes for us, and is able to save us to the ultimate by means of His eternal, indestructible life. Yeshua is the Anointed Ruler sent to save us, the descendant of King David and rightful eternal heir to his throne, who is destined to rule with perfect justice over Israel and the nations, bringing salvation, peace, prosperity, justice and righteousness to every corner of the Earth.

Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father Of Eternity, Prince Of Peace (Isaiah 9:6):

Wonderful: The nature of this Son who is given to us (the Jewish people) is above that of any ordinary man; He is miraculous and full of wonders.

Counselor: He is available to give us the best counsel in every situation. His advice is unparalleled for its depth of wisdom, and given freely to everyone who asks Him for it. He is our Chief Rabbi, the Supreme Teacher who guides us into all truth.

Mighty God: This Son who is born to the Jewish people is fully man, but also fully God. In some miraculous way, He is Immanu El God with us the Word made flesh, the fullness of God dwelling in humanity! Since He is fully God and fully Man, He is the only Mediator capable of ending the estrangement between God and man. He is the Bridge that spans that infinite gulf, enabling God and man to be reconciled. As the Mighty God, He wields within Himself power so great that He can atone for all the evil that is or ever has been in the world, and bring us forgiveness, reconciliation and peace with God.

Father Of Eternity: Since He is the Mighty God, He is also eternal. He is utterly beyond the limits of time. A thousand years in His sight are like yesterday when it passes by. He is the Creator and the Possessor of eternity. Since He is eternal, He is forever able to meet all the needs of His people. He is the One who enables His people to live forever. Father of Eternity can also be translated and understood to mean "Eternal Father," indicating that the Son of God shares the very same name and nature, character and essence as God the Father.

Prince Of Peace: Yeshua has so much power that He can restore shalom wholeness, completeness and peace to a broken and shattered universe. He is able to establish peace between man and God, between man and his fellow man, Jews and Gentiles, rich and poor, blacks and whites and between man and nature. The wonderful peace that He will bring at the inauguration of his kingdom will not be temporary, but will last forever!

Light Of The Nations (Isaiah 42:6): Messiah is the source of wisdom, truth, revelation, understanding, knowledge, victory and salvation, not only for the Jewish people, but for all the peoples of the world!

Star (Numbers 24:17): Messiah is like a Heavenly body high and pure, which radiates its own light in the vast darkness of the universe. His light shines in the darkness of this world, pointing us to God, and to salvation, victory and life! As the stars declare God's intelligence, power and glory, so does Messiah!

Cornerstone (Isaiah 28:16, Psalm 118:22): Just as the cornerstone adds strength to the foundation, upon which the rest of the building is supported, so we must build our lives on the Son of God. It is impossible to have a stable and enduring life apart from Him.

Stone (Psalm 118:22): Just as stones are used for building, so we must build our lives with Messiah. Just as a stone may be used as a weapon, so Messiah is our protector. Just as stones are used to erect memorials, so Yeshua is the One we should continually remember.

Branch (Zechariah 6:12): As the branch or sprout which starts out small but grows great and soon produces fruit, so the activity of God's Son was to begin in a humble way, but will increase until He accomplishes all of God's purposes.

Scepter (Numbers 24:17): As a rod which is used to strike one's enemies, so the Son of God will defeat all the enemies of God. As a royal rod in the hand of a king, which symbolizes his authority, so the Messiah is God's authorized ruler.

Messenger Of The Covenant (Malachi 3:1): The Messiah was sent by God to inaugurate a new covenant (contract, agreement) with the Jewish people, and with the nations of the world. The terms of this eternal covenant include knowing and loving God, the ability to understand God’s Word, and having all of our sins forgiven. This covenant became effective when Messiah died and then came back to life.

Covenant To The People (Isaiah 42:6): Messiah Himself is the essence of this contract that God has made available to mankind. Anyone who rejects this Covenant remains in a state of alienation from God. All people everywhere must believe in Yeshua and follow Him in order to participate in this new contractual relationship with the God who can save us.
