“Him that liveth forever, whose dominion is an ever-lasting dominion, and His kingdom from generation to generation.” 4: 3, 34. So also the Psalmist, in his prayer to Jehovah, says; “Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion throughout all generations.” 145: 13. (See also Rev. 11: 15.)
Thus we find the kingdom and dominion of God and of Christ described by the same language in the Word; which would lead to the conclusion that one and the same Divine Person is meant by both these names.
Again: It is recorded in Matt. 1: 21, that the angel who announced to Joseph the birth of the Messiah, said, “and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for He shall save His people from their sins.” The name Jesus signifies Savior; or, according to some lexicographers, Jehovah Savior.[1] Hence, also, it is said in Luke 2: 11, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior who is Christ the Lord.” Again it is written in John 4: 42, “For we have heard ourselves and know that this is indeed the Christ the Savior of the world. And in many other parts of the New Testament the Lord Jesus Christ is called Savior; and He is also called Redeemer, and is spoken of as redeeming us by His blood. (See Luke, 24: 21. Rev. 5: 9. Gal. 3: 13.)
