Bible Question: Who is Jehovah and what is his purpose in the Bible? Hope and Dreams |
Bible Answer: Hope and Dreams: You ask, Who is Jehovah. "Jehovah" takes its roots from Yahweh which in turn comes from the Hebrew YHWH, technically known as the tetragrammaton. "I AM WHO I AM" is the covenant name for God; it was given to Moses by God Himself (see Exodus 3:12-15). .... And you also ask, "What is His (Jehovah's) purpose in the Bible?" He has an incontestible right to be there! He created the universe (Gen. 1:1) and He wrote the Book (2 Timothy 3:16). Pray tell me, what would the Bible be without God? One who reads the Bible thoughtfully from Genesis through Revelation cannot possibly come away without at least a fair understanding of God's purpose in the Bible. --Hank |
