# NOJ - Isaiah 11.2
## Background
- See the [[Names_of_Jesus_Study]]
### Verse
- All references below are to **Isaiah 11.2**
- The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him—the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and strength, the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the LORD.
### Thoughts
#### 2022.10.03
- It seems clear to me today that Isaiah is saying that "the LORD" and Jesus are two separate entities. Therefore, Jesus is not "the LORD"
- Based on other passages, if Jesus is not "the LORD" then He is not "GOD"

#### 2021.05.01
- It’s not clear to me exactly to whom the “the Lord” refers.
- If it is Jesus, then the verse is recursive and He fears Himself.
- If it is the Father or God, then Jesus is not God.
