41. 4. THE LORD IS CALLED LORD, AND GOD. This is evident from so many passages that, if they were quoted, they would fill pages; let these few suffice:
In John:
When Thomas at the command of the Lord had beheld His hands and had touched His side, he said, My Lord and my God. John xx 27, 28.
In the Psalms:
They remembered that God was their Rock, and the High God their Redeemer. Ps. lxxviii 35.
And in Isaiah:
Jehovah Zebaoth is His name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth shall He be called. Isa. liv 5.
This also appears from their worshipping Him and falling down on their faces before Him. Matt. ix 18; xiv 33; xv 25; xxviii 9; Mark i 40 v 22; vii 25; x 17; Luke xvii 15, 16; John ix 38;
And in the Psalms:
We have heard of Him at Ephratah ... We will go into His tabernacles; we will worship at His footstool. Ps. cxxxii 7.
The Lord is similarly worshipped in heaven, as we read in Revelation:
I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. ... like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. The four and twenty elders fell down before Him that sat on the throne, and worshipped Him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne. Rev. iv 2, 3, 10
And again:
I saw in the right hand of Him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. And no man ... was able to open the book ... Then one of the elders said. . . . behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld and lo, in the midst of the throne stood a Lamb ... And He came and took the book ... And the elders fell down before the Lamb, and worshipped Him that liveth for ever and ever. Rev. v 1, 3, 5-8, 14.
