The most important man to ever walk the earth was the outcast of a Israel known as Jesus. His name means salvation. The condescension of Israel’s God to take upon himself a tabernacle of flesh and to perform an act of supreme sacrifice and love can scarcely be appreciated by even those who profess a belief in him. This is what the Gods do, they sacrifice for those on a lower level so that those for whom they sacrifice can one day rise up. This is what He did yet few recognized it. His atoning sacrifice, to which the outward ordinances of the law of Moses pointed to and typified, was the most important act in the history of mankind. Yet Isaiah says:
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. – Isaiah 53
(Now these verses also apply to another end time Messianic figure as well as Christ, but for my purposes I will relate them to the spiritual deliverer who was Israel’s god Jehova)
In my studies of the scriptures these are the names and titles that I have come up with that likely refer to Him. This is not a comprehensive list by any means, and some are the same words in different languages. Some are referring to the Father of Jesus but since they are one, they are also included. This list is just my own that I have been assembling over the past few months. Feel free to send me any others I have overlooked.

I am another witness that He lives. I am a witness to the restoration of truths from God in these latter days through a modern day prophet, even Joseph Smith. I am a witness to the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon as a record of scripture and another witness of Christ. Let me share in closing an exhortation made by a prophet who lived in the Americas many centuries ago. He was alone, the last of his kindred and wrote for the benefit of a future people; those gentiles who would come across the book that his father compiled, the Book of Mormon; and to the Jews who will be ministered to by those same gentiles. These are the prophet Moroni’s very last words to us:
And awake, and arise from the dust, O Jerusalem; yea, and put on thy beautiful garments, O daughter of Zion; and strengthen thy stakes and enlarge thy borders forever, that thou mayest no more be confounded, that the covenants of the Eternal Father which he hath made unto thee, O house of Israel, may be fulfilled.
Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.
And again, if ye by the grace of God are perfect in Christ, and deny not his power, then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Christ, which is in the covenant of the Father unto the remission of your sins, that ye become holy, without spot. (Moroni 10: 32-34, Book of Mormon)
