Jehovah
LORD (Jehovah) — the covenant name; the premortal Christ
Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak. 2 Chronicles 12:5–7
Jehovah speaks through Shemaiah, and when the people humble themselves He answers with deliverance. The same Lord who later redeems all who humble themselves and come to Him shows His mercy here.
How we know: Jehovah is the premortal Christ (Abraham 1:16; D&C 110:3–4)
- alludes to 2 Chronicles 7:14 — The promise that if His people humble themselves He will hear and heal.
