(THE NAME OF GOD) THE TITLE GIVEN TO GOD WAS YAHWEH. OR
JEHOVAH, "I AM THAT I AM"
One of the most important names for GOD in the old testament is Yahweh,
or Jehovah. meaning, "I AM that I AM." and "I WILL be who I WILL be."
The Hebrew word YHWH was the name by which GOD revealed Himself to Moses
in the burning bush. The bush burns like a fire with His love and His
righteousness, yet remains a burning fire for ever and ever, for all
mankind to see as a Holy light. Some may translate the English word
GOD to be Jehovah, while others use YAHWEH.
GOD in the first refers to the central and sole object of worship and
center for prayer, and religious commitment and meditation. GOD is
the Holy Spirit and He is JESUS CHRIST the one who gave up His life
died on the cross and shed His blood for all our sins. that is the
christians belief. GOD is the one who gave us life and salvation,
and the world that we live in and all that we can see and hear He
made that is the "great I AM." Moses was called to proclaim
deliverance to the people and was told by GOD, "thus you shall say
to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you."
With the deliverance of the Hebrew people from slavery in Egypt, GOD
SHOWED Moses a deeper meaning to his name. Than He did to Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob. They called on the name of the Lord YAHWEH.
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob did not know the fuller meaning of Yahweh,
like Moses did. The divine name Yahweh is translated Lord in the
English versions of the Bible. Because it was a practice for the
jews in the old testament not to used the sacred name YHWH. But to
say instead "my Lord," (Adonai) a practice still used today in the
Synagogue. Many christians use the word YAHWEH, and do not
hesitate to call the name YAHWEH when they pray to Him, because
JESUS CHRIST taught believers to speak in a familiar way to GOD.
And here some other names in honor of the Lord in the old testament
that come from the name YAHWEH. JEHOVAH-JIREH meaning in English
"the LORD will provide," commemorating the provision of the ram in
place of Isaac for Abraham sacrifice. JEHOVAH-NISSI meaning "the
Lord is my banner," in honor of GOD'S defeat of the Amalekites.
JEHOVAH-SHALOM meaning "the Lord is peace," the name Gideon gave
the altar which he built in Ophrah. JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH meaning "the
Lord is there," referring to the city which the prophet Ezekiel
saw in his vision. JEHOVAH-TSEBAOTH "the Lord of host," was used
in the days of David and the prophets, witnessing to GOD the savior
who is surrounded by His hosts of heavenly power.
JEHOVAH-ELOHE Israel this name means "Lord GOD of Israel," you can
find it in Israel, Jeremiah, and the Psalms, other names similar to
this are netsah Israel. "The strength of Israel," Abir Yisrael "the
mighty one of Israel." Lord means JEHOVAH ELOHIM. I am a jealous
GOD. The word of GOD is prominent through out the old and new
testaments another name of GOD. The word is not as clearly a person
in the old testament as in the new testament where JESUS CHRIST is
seen as the personal word of GOD. Shekinak is a word for glory.
You can find it in the old testament in the book of Psalms, and the
book of Isaiah. In the new testament JESUS shares the glory of GOD.
With the birth of JESUS CHRIST. The name of the persons who comprise
the Trinity are made more explicit. These names fulfill the deeper
meanings of the old testament names for GOD. In the new testament
GOD is known as Father ABBA JESUS CHRIST is known as Son of the living
GOD, and the son of man, He is also known as wisdom. Bridegroom,
Shepherd, light, and "I AM." The Holy Spirit is know as the helper
