THIS ONE GOD IS BEING (Esse) ITSELF, AND THIS IS JEHOVAH or THE ESSENCE AND EXISTENCE OF GOD IN HIS VERY SELF 1. That One God is termed Jehovah from Being (Esse), thus from the fact that He is He who is, who was, and who is to come or, what is the same, that He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega. [Rev. i 8, 11; xxii 13; Isa. xliv 6.] 2. Therefore this one only God is very Essence, Substance, and Form; and men and angels are spiritual essences, substances and forms, or images and likenesses, in so far as they derive quality from that very and one only Divine. 3. The Divine Being (Esse) is Being (Esse) in itself. 4. The Divine Being (Esse) in itself is Divine Existing (Existere) in itself as well. 5. The Divine Being (Esse) and Existing (Existere) in itself cannot produce another Divine that is Being (Esse) and Existing (Existere) in itself. 6. Consequently another God of identical essence with the One God is not possible. 7. The plurality of gods in ancient times, and partly in modern times, did not originate from any other source than the Divine Essence not being understood.
