We’re mortals 2. We live less than 105 years

Notes

• Every time you see the title the LORD Almighty, the Lord also encompasses that title (22:5, 12, 15)
• 31:1 there is a clear distinction between the titles here, the or gives this away. They will neither call on the Holy One of Israel (Jesus) or seek the LORD (Father). Similarly, 34:6 says that his Spirit will gather them together… why wouldn’t the Father (Hashem) just do it? Why wouldn’t the Lord (Adonai(Jesus)) just do it? Different roles because they are different persons, but they are one (Ehad).
