§ 1. HIS EXISTENCE DECLARED.

there be after me. I even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no Savior. I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when there was no strange god among you therefore ye are my witnesses,

GEN. 17: 1. I am the ALMIGHTY saith the LORD, that I am God. GOD.

23: 13. And behold the LORD stood above it and said, I am the, LORD GOD of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac.

Ex. 3: 14. And the LORD said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM.

20: 1. And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.

DEUT. 32: 39. See now that I, even I, am_he, and there is no god with me: kill, and I make alive

Yea, before the day was, I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

WORKS OF CREATION.

GEN. 1: 1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Ps. 19: 1. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handy work. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night

unto night showeth knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

His

going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

ISA. 40: 12. Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

Ps. 100: 3. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves.

95: 3. For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hands are the deep places of the sea: the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his and he made it; and his hands formed the dry land.

HEB. 3: 4. He that built all things is God.

ACTS 17: 24. God, that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands.

ZEC. 12: 1. Thus saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

ROM. 1:20. The invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, even his eternal power and Godhead, so that they [the heathen] are with

obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.

7: 17. Thus saith the LORD, in this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.

8:16, And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt. And they did so. Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

22. And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth. And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to-morrow shall this sign be. And the LORD did so; and there came grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.

14: 3. For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in. And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honored upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.

29. But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore. And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.

18: 10. And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered

you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.

T20: 18. And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

20: 22. And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

29:46. And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD their God.

DEUT. 4: 32. For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it? Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him. Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: | and upon earth he showed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his

words out of the midst of the fire. - 39. Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

2 CHRON. 33: 10. And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken. Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and hound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. And when he was in affliction, e besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, and prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.

Ps. 9: 16. The LORD is known by the judgments which he executeth.

Ex. 3: 13. And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

6: 2. And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

DEUT. 33: 26. There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky, The eternal God is thy refuge, And
