Nehemiah 9:6 – You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.

Zechariah 14:9 – The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.

• ·         The truth revealed to Israel that God is one and that this one God created all things, sustains all things and governs all things stood in radical opposition to all the religions of the ancient Near Eastern world. Israel could live serenely in the knowledge that all things and all times were under the rule of one divine King, whose ways are righteous and whose purpose with her and through her is salvation for humankind—from sin and judgment and every evil that has burdened human life.
• ·         Moses insisted that there was only one God.
• ·         You alone are the Lord.
• ·         “The Lord will be king over the whole earth” is a pervasive theological theme in Scripture.
• ·         Jesus and the Father are one in essence or nature, will and purpose, but they are not identical persons.
