God the Father has so many names. He used the name Yahweh when he appeared to Moses (Exodus 6:3). But he appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty. Some other names he uses in Scripture were garnered from http://www.shema.com. The principal name for God is Elohim (Genesis 1:1). Elohim is unusual since it is plural. That is worth pondering. But God reveals himself by other names as well. When Elohim is combined with other words, different attributes of God are emphasized. So we have: God Of The Beginning (Deuteronomy 33:27).God Of Hosts, or God Of Armies (2 Samuel 5:10).God Of Justice (Isaiah 30:18).God Of Heights (Micah 6:6).God Who Is Near (Jeremiah 23:23).God Of My Kindness (Psalm 59:11). God Of My Strength (Psalm 43:2).God Of My Praise (Psalm 109:1.God Of My Salvation (Psalm 18:47, 25:5.God Of Gods (Deuteronomy 10:17.God Of The Rock Of My Salvation (2 Samuel 22:47). God Of All Flesh (Jeremiah 32:27). God Of The Spirits Of All Flesh (Numbers 16:22.Holy God (Leviticus 19:2).Living God (Jeremiah 10:10).God Of Forgiveness (Nehemiah 9:17).The Faithful God (Deuteronomy 7:9).The Great God (Deuteronomy 10:17).The Holy God (Isaiah 5:16).The God Of Israel (Psalm 68:36). The God Of The Heavens (Psalm 136:26).God Of My Rock (Psalm 42:10).God The Joy Of My Exaltation (Psalm 43:4).The God Who Sees (Genesis 16:13). The God Of Glory (Psalm 29:3). The God Of Knowledge (1 Samuel 2:3).The God Of Eternity or The God Of The Universe (Genesis 21:33.The God Of Truth (Psalm 31:6).The Faithful God (Deuteronomy 32:4).The God Of My Salvation (Isaiah 12:2).The One God (Malachi 2:10).The God Of Compassion (Deuteronomy 4:31). The Gracious God (Jonah 4:2).The Jealous God (Deuteronomy 4:24).The Righteous God (Isaiah 45:21). God The All-Sufficient (Genesis 17:1).The Most High God (Genesis 14:18). God Of Heaven And Earth (Ezra 5:11): recalled for all generations" (Exodus 3:14-15). Although some pronounce YHVH as Jehovah or Yaweh, those are only guesses, since we no longer know for sure the proper pronunciation. The Jewish people stopped saying this name by the third century AD out of fear of violating the commandment, "You shall not take the name of YHVH your God in vain" (Exodus 20:7), and we lost the knowledge of its proper pronunciation. According to the rabbis, the Tetragrammaton may not be pronounced under any circumstances. Another name, "Adonai," is usually substituted in place of YHVH. When YHVH is combined with other words God’s different attributes are emphasized. Thus we have Adonai Elohim - Lord God (Genesis 2:4). Adonai Tz'vaot - The Lord Of Armies (1 Samuel 1:11). Adonai M'kadesh - The Lord Who Makes Holy (Ezekiel 37:28). Adonai Yireh - The Lord Who Sees: (Genesis 22:14). Adonai Neesee - The Lord My Miracle, or The Lord My Banner (Exodus 17:15). Adonai Shalom - The Lord Of Peace (Judges 6:24). Adonai Rofehcha - The Lord Who Heals You (Exodus 15:26). Adonai O'saynu - The Lord Our Maker (Psalm 95:6). Thanks to the Bible scholars who made all this available. But there is more. God the Son is called Jesus, but he has many other names. The Holy Spirit is God, and he has many names. All in all, the names of God are as many as God’s attributes. They are too many to list in one post on this forum. My impression is that God would have us to use any of these names depending on the situation. That is what the writers of Scripture did. One would hope that the mere number of these names would remind us how great God is, and that we would worship him. |
