Isaiah 43:11-12 confirms this. Jehovah the Lord who spoke this is Jesus Christ our Savior. Isaiah and Israel were "witnesses" much the same way as the disciples who walked the earth with Jesus the Lord.
Dear Zeek, in my posts I am really not trying to persuade you to change your beliefs. I am only posting what I know to be the truth of the Bible. I let the readers decide what they choose to believe.

Right. If you look at the context, what I was saying is that there is no logical way to explain how Jesus could be both God and Man. Traditional Christology has not explained it. Witness Lee tried to explain it via the metaphor of "mingling". He retreated from that when he was challenged on it by Christianity. So the only way to accept that Jesus was both God and human is by faith. Typically this is called a leap of faith. But it did not seem like a leap of faith when I entered it. And now I would have to leap out of it to leave it although sometimes, I must admit, it seems like it isn't there.
Incidently, I'm not trying to persuade you either. Just "talking".
