Does this mean that Jesus has somehow replaced Jehovah God and that all creation has turned to praising him rather than his Father? Far from it! Rather, this song of praise is in harmony with what the apostle Paul wrote: "God exalted [Jesus] to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name, so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground, and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of the God the Father." (Philippians 2:9-11) Jesus is here extolled because of his part in settling the primary issue before all creation-the vindication of Jehovah's rightful sovereignty. What glory, indeed, this has brought to the Father!
