Jewish concept of Yahweh deny the triune nature of God. They eliminate God’s Son, Jesus, and they also eliminate the Holy Spirit as a distinct Person of the Godhead. 

Without Jesus, there is no provisionary - that is, salvation is based on man’s effort rather than God’s grace. Without the Holy Spirit, there is no sanctification, no peace, no freedom (Romans 8:6; 2 Corinthians 3:17). Christians trust that by Jesus’ death and resurrection, along with the indwelling of His Spirit, sin is forgiven, the conscience is cleansed, and the human soul is freed to pursue God and goodness without the fear of punishment (Hebrews 10:22) - Allah al-Ab (God the Father)

 16) Through faith in the name of Jesus, this man was healed, you are witness to it
17-23) Before you rejected Jesus in ignorance, now repent of sins and turn to God, refreshment from the presence of the Lord, explains Moses (Deut 18:15, 19, Lev 23:29)
24-26) Samuel, every prophet since spoke about these events and promise/covenant from God
