CHAPTER 45 - Egypt & Ethiopia[45: 14]
- trust in Jehovah not idols[45: 18-22]
- Jehovah requirements: [45:23]
- every knee will bend down: Submisson
- every tongue will swear: Commitment
PHILIPIANS 2:9-11 “God exalted [Christ] to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name, so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground, and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.” NOTE: The same expression is found refering to Jesus in his God-given authority (Php 2:9-11).

QUESTION What does it mean for "every knee to bow"? Does the fact that the same expression is used in relation to both Jesus and Jehovah indicate duality of person (trinitarian view) or a contradiction?Even today, bowing is a sign of respect towards a higher authority, for example in the United Kingdom, people meeting the Queen of England are expected to bow or GENUFLECT. Genuflection, a gesture that involves the bending at least one knee to the ground, and has from early times been a gesture of deep respect for a superior. Both Isaiah and Paul were speaking about recognizing the authority of a superior. Are we to conclude then that Christians must only recognize one or the other? That if one recognizes YHWH as the supreme Creator of the Universe one cannot at the same time recognize the authority or position of any other individual? No. Although Jehovah is the ultimate authority he has and does delegate power and authority to others. The Hebrew law for example commanded that children honour their parents, their elders and even the anointed king, all of which had relative god-given authority. If Jesus is the duly appointed representative of Almighty God, given authority to rule on his Father's behalf, then individuals that want God's approval must recognize and submit to Jesus. Doing so they are also submitting to the one that granted Jesus' authority, Jehovah God. In a similar way, Paul was explaining that Jesus, as God's representative had the right to demand submission (bending of the knee) in the name of (under the given authority) of the Father; NOT in opposition or at the demotion or surpassing of that one.
