Before verse 15, I notice at John 16:14 it says, ' that one will glorify me ', so it is God who glorifies Jesus.
The resurrected ascended-to-heaven Jesus goes to the Father - John 16:16 B
Jesus appears in front of his God - Hebrews 9:24.
Even heavenly Jesus still thinks he has a God over him according to John at Revelation 3:12.
Yes the Son glorifies the Father and the Father glorifies the Son.
Yes the Son, who died as a man and was raised from the dead as a man (see the gospel stories) with a man's body, has a God, as us humans do. His Father is His God and His Father did not become His God until He took the form of a man in the womb of Mary
Psalm 22:10 From birth I was cast on you;
from my mother’s womb you have been my God.
Before verse 10, at Hebrews 1:9 it says that God anointed Jesus. Jesus did Not anoint himself.
Thus, because the Son is the one who 'through his God' preformed his great works.
Jesus is the greater Solomon - Hebrews 1:5 B; 2 Samuel 7:14 - Not the Great or Greater God - John 17:3
I think we need to keep in mind that pre-human Jesus is part of the "us" at Genesis 1:26
So, to me it should Not surprise us that Jesus was there when earth's foundation was laid.
Pre-human Jesus acted in God's behalf - Colossians 1:15-16
Jesus gives credit to his God as Creator - Revelation 4:11
Jesus does Not commit all authority to himself but to his God - Matthew 28:18 - as Jesus represents his God.
Yes the Father anointed the Son and the Son who became a man, lived as a man and laid down His godly powers and relied on His Father as us humans are to do.
Yes Solomon and David and Israel and Moses and Joshua the priest etc were used as types of Jesus. King, Prophet, Priest. The Holy One of Israel. The Servant of God, Israel.
And yes there is no other name given under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12) only the name of Jesus. All those who call on the name of YHWH will be saved.
Isa 44:24 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer who formed you from the womb: “I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who by Myself spread out the earth,
and speaking of Jesus. Heb 1:10 And: “In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
Col 1:15 says that ALL THINGS were created in or through Him. The NWT is wrong when it says "all other things" Jesus was not created but God created through Him just as I am typing through my hands. The Son does all things that the Father shows Him and the Father shows Him everything, so the Son can do everything, including creating all things.
Yes the Son has all authority and is almighty and it was given to Him by His Father. He went from being the humble servant man to being almighty. Interestingly Jesus owned all this authority even as a man on earth but He is not one to grab what is His, He humbled Himself before His Father, His equal and glorified the Father that way and the Father glorifies the Son, and it glorifies the Son when we all acknowledge who Jesus is (the one with the name above all names) and bow our knees to Him(see Phil 2 but not in the New World Translation)
The 24 elders in Rev 4:11 praise the one sitting on the throne for creating all things. That is nothing new. Who is sitting on the throne? Certainly Jesus is in the midst of the throne.
Rev:4:8 tells us:
“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,’
who was, and is, and is to come.”
We already know Jesus is almighty and it is He who is going to come.
Which to me brings us back to Psalms 110.
The two (2) KJV LORD/Lords is about two (2) separate LORD/ Lords.
The Tetragrammaton LORD in ALL Capital letters YHWH.
And the some-lower-case Lord, No Tetragrammaton applied to Lord Jesus.
What does it mean that Jesus is seated at the right hand of God?
Yes I know that JWs say that at the right hand means 2nd in charge, but in order to say that you have to ignore the fact that Jesus is YHWH in the Bible. Nevertheless I suppose JWs are half right in that even though the Son owns all that the Father has (John 16:15) also the Son receives all things from His Father.
