• Elohim (God) • Jehovah/Yahweh (the self-existent one: I AM) • Jehovah-jireh (the Lord will provide) • Jehovah-rapha (the Lord who heals) • Jehovah-nissi (the Lord our banner) • Jehovah-Shalom (the Lord our peace) • Jehovah-ra-ah (the Lord my shepherd) • Jehovah-tsidkenu (the Lord our righteousness) • Jehovah-shammad (the Lord is present) • Jehovah-Elohim (the Lord God) • Jehovah Sabaoth (the Lord of hosts) • El Elyon (the most high God) • Adonai (our master) • El Shaddai (Almighty God, the strength giver) • El Olam (everlasting God) (1) Elohim: The plural form of EL, meaning “strong one.” It is used of false gods, but when used of the true God, it is a plural of majesty and intimates the trinity. It is especially used of God’s sovereignty, creative work, mighty work for Israel and in relation to His sovereignty (Isa. 54:5; Jer. 32:27; Gen. 1:1; Isa. 45:18; Deut. 5:23; 8:15; Ps. 68:7). Compounds of El: • El Shaddai: “God Almighty.” The derivation is uncertain. Some think it stresses God’s loving supply and comfort; others His power as the Almighty one standing on a mountain and who corrects and chastens (Gen. 17:1; 28:3; 35:11; Ex. 6:31; Ps. 91:1, 2). • El Elyon: “The Most High God.” Stresses God’s strength, sovereignty, and supremacy (Gen. 14:19; Ps. 9:2; Dan. 7:18, 22, 25). • El Olam: “The Everlasting God.” Emphasizes God’s unchangeableness and is connected with His inexhaustibleness (Gen. 16:13). (2) Yahweh (YHWH): Comes from a verb which means “to exist, be.” This, plus its usage, shows that this name stresses God as the independent and self-existent God of revelation and redemption (Gen. 4:3; Ex. 6:3 (cf. 3:14); 3:12). Compounds of Yahweh: Strictly speaking, these compounds are designations or titles which reveal additional facts about God’s character. • Yahweh Jireh (Yireh): “The Lord will provide.” Stresses God’s provision for His people (Gen. 22:14). • Yahweh Nissi: “The Lord is my Banner.” Stresses that God is our rallying point and our means of victory; the one who fights for His people (Ex. 17:15). • Yahweh Shalom: “The Lord is Peace.” Points to the Lord as the means of our peace and rest (Jud. 6:24). • Yahweh Sabbaoth: “The Lord of Hosts.” A military figure portraying the Lord as the commander of the armies of heaven (1 Sam. 1:3; 17:45). • Yahweh Maccaddeshcem: “The Lord your Sanctifier.” Portrays the Lord as our means of sanctification or as the one who sets believers apart for His purposes (Ex. 31:13). • Yahweh Ro’i: “The Lord my Shepherd.” Portrays the Lord as the Shepherd who cares for His people as a shepherd cares for the sheep of his pasture (Ps. 23:1). • Yahweh Tsidkenu: “The Lord our Righteousness.” Portrays the Lord as the means of our righteousness (Jer. 23:6). • Yahweh Shammah: “The Lord is there.” Portrays the Lord’s personal presence in the millennial kingdom (Ezek. 48:35). • Yahweh Elohim Israel: “The Lord, the God of Israel.” Identifies Yahweh as the God of Israel in contrast to the false gods of the nations (Jud. 5:3.; Isa. 17:6). (3) Adonai: Like Elohim, this too is a plural of majesty. The singular form means “master, owner.” Stresses man’s relationship to God as his master, authority, and provider (Gen. 18:2; 40:1; 1 Sam. 1:15; Ex. 21:1-6; Josh. 5:14). (4) Theos: Greek word translated “God.” Primary name for God used in the New Testament. Its use teaches: (1) He is the only true God (Matt. 23:9; Rom. 3:30); (2) He is unique (1 Tim. 1:17; John 17:3; Rev. 15:4; 16:27); (3) He is transcendent (Acts 17:24; Heb. 3:4; Rev. 10:6); (4) He is the Savior (John 3:16; 1 Tim. 1:1; 2:3; 4:10). This name is used of Christ as God in John 1:1, 18; 20:28; 1 John 5:20; Tit. 2:13; Rom. 9:5; Heb. 1:8; 2 Pet. 1:1. (5) Kurios: Greek word translated “Lord.” Stresses authority and supremacy. While it can mean sir (John 4:11), owner (Luke 19:33), master (Col. 3:22), or even refer to idols (1 Cor. 8:5) or husbands (1 Pet. 3:6), it is used mostly as the equivalent of Yahweh of the Old Testament. It too is used of Jesus Christ meaning (1) Rabbi or Sir (Matt. 8:6); (2) God or Deity (John 20:28; Acts 2:36; Rom. 10:9; Phil. 2:11). (6) Despotes: Greek word translated “Master.” Carries the idea of ownership while kurios stressed supreme authority (Luke 2:29; Acts 4:24; Rev. 6:10; 2 Pet. 2:1; Jude 4). (7) Father: A distinctive New Testament revelation is that through faith in Christ, God becomes our personal Father. Father is used of God in the Old Testament only 15 times while it is used of God 245 times in the New Testament. As a name of God, it stresses God’s loving care, provision, discipline, and the way we are to address God in prayer (Matt. 7:11; Jam. 1:17; Heb. 12:5-11; John 15:16; 16:23; Eph. 2:18; 3:15; 1 Thess. 3:11). http://www.bible.org/index.htm |

3 | What are God's Names? | Gen 1:1 | jlpangilinan | 61823 | ||
In the hebrew scriptures you cannot find Jehovah or Yahweh there. The hebrews scriptures stated that the name of God that Moses know is YHWH but in our time no one heard how that name pronounce. word JEHOVAH only came out in the 14th Century I dont belived that God has no name before the 14th Century. Hebrew alphabeth has no letter "J" how come that the name of God is JEHOVAH which is included the letter "J" which is not included in the hebrew alphabeth. Y"A"HW"E"H ("A" "E")also an additional in the YHWH that written in the hebrew scriptures, the put "A" "E" to pronounce it YAHWEH. If you notice that Christ never mentioned the name of God the Father either it is JEHOVAH or not (of course in the bible of JWitnesses you can find it.) If the name of God the Father is Jehovah why Crist not told it to His desciples but instead He called His "Father" and our Father. In the book of Isa 63:16 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting. It mentioned there "Father" thy name is from everlasting. God bless, Johnny |

4 | What are God's Names? | Gen 1:1 | kalos | 61883 | ||
"Yahweh/Yah (or Jehovah). YHWH (or JHVH), THE TETRAGRAMMATON BECAUSE OF ITS FOUR LETTERS, IS, STRICTLY SPEAKING, THE ONLY PROPER NAME FOR GOD. It is also the most frequent name, occurring in the Old Testament 6,828 times (almost 700 times in the Psalms alone). Yah is a shortened form that appears fifty times in the Old Testament, including forty-three occurrences in the Psalms, often in the admonition "hallelu-jah" (lit. praise Jah). English Bibles represent the name yhwh by the title "LORD" (written in capitals to distinguish it from "lord" [adonai]. The Septuagint rendered yhwh as kyrios (Lord). The line from yhwh to adonai to kyrios is significant for the Pauline statement: "And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord" (Php 2:11)" (Note: Yahweh has also been translated (written, pronounced) as Jehovah.)

I am talking of the hebrew scriptures, there is no letter "J" its impossible that JEHOVAH is the true name of the God the Father. the only letter that you found there is YHWH no one now alive to testify how they pronounce it in the time of moses. JEHOVAH only came out 14th century even the jews people which is belong to the Israel doesnt know about it how come that this is the name of the Lord God. If you want to believed me please show me the scriptures that Jesus Christ mentioned that the name of His Father is JEHOVAH or YAHWEH. The name of God the father that written is this. Isa 63:16 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting. "FATHER" everlasting father. We dont have to create any name for Him as Christ mentioned everytime in the new testament "Our Father" "My Father" Mt 6:9 ¶ After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Did Christ mentioned here, hallowed be thy name "JEHOVAH" or "YAHWEH"? God bless, Johnny |
