Subject: How important is God's Name? |
Bible Note: First off, HisEmpress, please forgive me for misspelling your name before. Names are important. It’s who we are. Sorry for the typo. Interesting that you pointed out that George Bush’s name doesn’t change if he goes to China. You are very correct. To his wife, he remains whatever her pet-name is for him. To Chinese diplomats he remains “Mr. President”, etc. But he still knows he is George Walker Bush. Psalms 68:4 is an excellent example to prove my point. To put it in proper perspective (according to the Hebrew), let’s use the “proper names” (plural) given in that verse. “Sing unto Elohim, sing praises to His name: extol Him praises to His name; extol Him that rideth upon the heavens by His name YAH, and rejoice before Him.” Elohim and YAH are not the same "names", correct? You asked me to look up what Jesus’ name was/or should be. I did. Isaiah 7:14 “…a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel.” Is this the verse you meant? That is how my Bible from the Jewish Publication reads, anyway. There IS power in His name! Which name? Was there more power in the name that Abraham knew “God” by, or Moses? Remember WHEN He was known as El Shaddai (God Almighty)? Translating Exodus 6:2-3 correctly with incorrect KJV in parentheses – “And Elohim (God) spoke unto Moses and said to him, I am Yahweh (the Lord): And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of El Shaddai (God Almighty), but by My name YAHWEH (Jehovah) was I NOT known to them.” God didn’t only change His Name, He changed others too. Abram to Abraham, Jacob to Israel, Saul to Paul – to name a few. But the most exciting thing is the new name that He will have. Rev 3:12Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him MY NEW NAME.
