It has been claimed that Jesus is Yahweh since "He formed the worlds alone." Isaiah 44:24 is cited as reference.

Evidently this is meant to confuse Isaiah 44:24 with what is stated in Hebrews 1:2, which speaks of the God and Father of Jesus, that God "has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds." (World English Bible translation) Hebrews 1:2 is not speaking of the same thing as the creation in Isaiah 44:42. The word rendered "worlds" would more correctly be rendered "ages":

At the end of these days, He hath spoken unto us in his Son,-whom he hath appointed heir of all things, through whom also he hath made the ages; -- Rotherham's Emphasized Bible translation

Yes, God has worked through his Son in making the ages. Aion always signifies a motion in time. Thus through Jesus, Yahweh constructed the plan of the ages (Ephesians 3:11). It is the Father who formed the ages; Jesus is the one through whom he formed these ages. God is originator, Jesus is the instrument. There is nothing in this that means that the Son of God is his God of whom he is the Son.

In service of Jesus and his God,
