(Knowing God to Make Him known to the world)

Course design for Bachelor Level

INTRODUCTION
Who is God to you?
Is He your Most High God, All sufficient One, Master, Lord of Peace, the Lord Who Will Provide? Is He
your Father? We must be careful not to make God into an "it" or a "thing" to which we pray. He is our
Jehovah Raah, the Lord our Shepherd. God knows us by our name, shouldn't we know Him by His?
We should never take His name lightly (Exd 20:7; Lev 22:32), but always rejoice in it and think deeply
about its true meaning. To hallow, a thing is to make it holy, set it apart to be exalted as worthy of absolute
devotion. To hallow, the name of God is to regard Him with complete devotion and loving admiration.
God's name is of the utmost importance (Neh 9:5).
How many names does God have? A name can be a legal proper name, how you address a person, a title
they bear, a pet or nickname, or an attribute (something that describes them or a characteristic of theirs). In
the Bible, we find two names God decrees as his, but we find many more names people have given him.
There are also names given to God through prophecy Andres where God refers to himself with a name.
What are the names of God?

4. What is the significance of God’s name to the Believers?
5. How did God reveal to us?
1. Special Revelation
2. General Revelation
6. Is God knowable?
7. Reasons for knowing God
1. God wants to communicate with us.
2. We can know him so that we can make him known.

II. WHAT IS HIS NAME?

How do we honor God’s name or him? How do we disowner his name of him?
In the Bible, a person’s name is a description of his character. Likewise, the names of God in Scripture are
various descriptions of his character. In a broad sense, “name” is equal to all that the Bible and creation tell
us about God. To honor God’s name is to honor him (Matthew 6:9). The command, “You shall not take the
name of the LORD your God in vain” (Exodus 20:7) is a command that we do not dishonor God’s
reputation either by words that speak of him foolishly or misleadingly actions that do not reflect his true
character.

Primary Old Testament Names
Elohim - God of Creation (Genesis 1)
Jehovah – God of redemption and revelation (Exodus 3:14)
Adonai – Master (Exodus 4:10, 13)

Each of these names of God is fully demonstrated and embodied in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Jehovah God
of the Old Testament is the Lord Jesus Christ of the New Testament (John 10:30; John 14:9)

A sample class note:

1. ELOHIM
This is the first name of God revealed in the Bible (Genesis 1:1). It is used about 2,570 times in the Old
Testament and translated as “God” in the English Bible. El (singular) Elohim (plural). It is used 2,310 times
as a name for the true God.

ELOHIM [el-oh-heem]: God “Creator, Mighty and Strong” (Genesis 17:7; Jeremiah 31:33) – the plural
form of Eloah, which accommodates the doctrine of the Trinity. From the Bible’s first sentence, the
superlative nature of God’s power is evident as God (Elohim) speaks the world into existence (Genesis 1:1).

Meaning
It comes from a root word, which means “to be strong” and suggests the power, authority, and majesty of
God as the creator and ruler of the universe who brought everything into existence out of nothing.

Usage
After the fall (Genesis 3) man departed more and more from God and the truth about Elohim was abused and
turned into a lie (Romans 1:18-25). This name became a general title for God or god. The name of God was
retained from his original revelation, but the nature of God was forgotten as the worship due to him alone
was transferred to the sun, Moon, stars, and even idols made by men’s hands. The name El became a general
term or title for a deity in the ancient world.

The Apostle Paul used the name for God in Greek (theos) that the pagans in Athens were familiar with as a
title for their gods and filled it with the truth about the nature of God which the term itself did not convey to
their minds (Acts 17:23-31)

Plural form
The striking thing about this name for God is that it is in the plural form, yet it is accompanied by a singular
verb. Genesis 1:1: “In the beginning, God (Elohim, plural) created (“he created”, singular) the heavens and
the earth.”

It has been the ancient belief that the Trinity is implied in this plural name Elohim.

Conclusion
There is blessing and comfort in this great name of God. It depicts the infinitely great and exalted one, who
created the heavens and the earth and who preserves and governs every creature. “Those who know your
name will put their trust in you” (Psalm 9:10).

2. JEHOVAH
This name first appears after the creation of man, in Genesis 2:4. The name Elohim emphasizes that God is
the exalted creator and sustainer of the universe, while Jehovah emphasizes God’s personal relationship with
a man and special care for him. This name is always used by God in His covenant with His people in
redemption and personal revelation. It speaks of his “faithful presence” It occurs about 5,321 times in the
Old Testament.
2
YHWH / YAHWEH / JEHOVAH [yah-way / ji-hoh-veh]: “LORD” (Deuteronomy 6:4; Daniel 9:14) –
strictly speaking, the only proper name for God. Translated in English Bible “LORD” (all capitals) to
distinguish it from Adonai, “Lord.” The revelation of the name is given to Moses “I Am who I Am” (Exodus
3:14). This name specifies an immediacy, a presence. Yahweh is present, accessible, and ear to those
who call on Him for deliverance (Psalm 107:13), forgiveness (Psalm 25: 11), and guidance (Psalm 31:3).

Yahweh is the covenant name of God. Occurs 6823 times in the OT First use Gen. 2:4 (Jehovah Elohim).
From the verb “to be”, havah, similar to chavah (to live), “The Self-Existent One,” “I AM WHO I AM” or ‘I
WILL BE WHO I WILL BE” as revealed to Moses at the burning bush, Ex.3.

Yahweh translated “as LORD”, is used over 5,300 times and stresses His eternal presence and commitment
to help His people.
A. Although the name of Yahweh was used before, its full significance was not revealed until He appeared
to Moses in the Burning Bush—Exodus 3:1–15. Before this time, names such as Elohim, Adonai, El Elyon
(the most high God), and El Shaddai (God almighty) were used.
B. The name Yahweh is probably from the Hebrew verb hayah, which means “to be”, thereby describing
God as the One Who eternally is, exists and is present.
C. The great “I am” or Yahweh denotes that He is tender toward our circumstances, incapable of forgetting
His promises, and unwilling to leave our side or cast us aside.
D. When Jesus claimed to have existed before Abraham as “I am”, He claimed to be Yahweh in John 8:58

Derivation and Meaning

The name Jehovah is derived from the Hebrew verb hayah “to be,” or “to become.” First-person, “I am,”
third person, “he is.”

In the Psalms, it is sometimes shortened to Jah. We are familiar with it the expression Hallelujah (i.e. “praise
the LORD”). It is also found in compound names such as Elijah, which means “Jehovah is my God.”

We can derive its meaning from Exodus 3:14 and its context, where God reveals himself to Moses as “I
AM.” There it implies his nearness and his power to redeem Israel out of Egypt. The root word conveys the
idea of a continuous coming to be, of existence in motion, existence always making itself known in a
process of becoming. G. Campbell Morgan said it refers to “the ever changeableness of the unchanging
one.” In short, the idea is of the unchanging, ever-living God, who is personally concerned for his people
and ready and willing to act on their behalf and meet their needs.

Application
Whatever man’s need is, the LORD is able and willing to become to the soul that trusts in Him. As “I AM”
he is the all-sufficient God who meets every need. All through the Old Testament, the LORD became and
became and became whatever His people needed. Finally, the Word became flesh. The LORD Jesus Christ
is himself the great “I AM,” the all-sufficient God who meets every need. All that I need, Jesus is! (Note
how Jesus uses “I Am” in the Gospel of John).

In the Gospel of John, Jesus makes seven statements beginning with the words I am. Each of these
“I am” proclamations furthers our understanding of Jesus’ ministry in the world. They also link
Jesus to the Old Testament revelation of God.

3
In the Old Testament, God revealed His name to Moses: “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to
say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you” (Exodus 3:14). Thus, in Judaism, “I AM” is
unquestionably understood as a name for God. Whenever Jesus made an “I am” statement in
which He claimed attributes of deity, He was identifying Himself as God.

Here are the seven metaphorical “I am” statements found in John’s gospel:

1. “I am the bread of life” (John 6:35, 41, 48, 51). In this chapter, Jesus establishes a pattern that
continues through John’s gospel—Jesus makes a statement about who He is, and He backs it up
with something He does. In this case, Jesus states that He is the bread of life just after He had fed
the 5,000 in the wilderness. At the same time, He contrasts what He can do with what Moses had
done for their ancestors: “Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is
the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die” (verses 49–50).

2. “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12; 9:5). This second of Jesus’ “I am” statements in
John’s gospel comes right before He heals a man born blind. Jesus not only says He is the light; He
proves it. Jesus’ words and actions echo Genesis 1:3, “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there
was light.”

3. “I am the door” (John 10:7 and 9, ESV). This “I am” statement stresses that no one can enter
the kingdom of heaven by any other means than Christ Himself. Jesus’ words in this passage are
couched in the imagery of a sheepfold. He is the only way to enter the fold. “Truly, truly, I say to
you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a
thief and a robber” (verse 1, ESV).

4. “I am the good shepherd” (John 10:11, 14). With this “I am” statement, Jesus portrays His
great love and care. He is the One who willingly protects His flock even to the point of death
(verses 11 and 15). When Jesus called Himself the good shepherd, He unmistakably took for
Himself one of God’s titles in the Old Testament: “The Lord is my shepherd” (Psalm 23:1).

5. “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). Jesus made this “I am” statement
immediately before raising Lazarus from the dead. Again, we see that Jesus’ teaching was not just
empty talk; when He made a claim, He substantiated it with action. He holds “the keys of death
and the grave” (Revelation 1:18, NLT). In raising Lazarus from the dead, Jesus showed how He can
fulfill Yahweh’s promise to ancient Israel: “[God’s] dead shall live; their bodies shall rise” (Isaiah
26:19, ESV). Apart from Jesus, there is neither resurrection nor eternal life.

6. “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6). This powerful “I am” statement of
Christ’s Christ with meaning. Jesus is not merely one way among many ways to God; He is the only
way. Scripture said that “The very essence of [God’s] words is truth” (Psalm 119:160, NLT), and here
is Jesus proclaiming that He is the truth—confirming His identity as the Word of God (see John
1:1, 14). And Jesus alone is the source of life; He is the Creator and Sustainer of all life and the
Giver of eternal life.

7. “I am the true vine” (John 15:1, 5). The final metaphorical “I am” statement in the Gospel of
4
John emphasizes the sustaining power of Christ. We are the branches, and He is the vine. Just as a
branch cannot bear fruit unless it is joined in vital union with the vine, only those who are joined to
Christ and receive their power from Him produce fruit in the Christian life.

There are two more “I am” statements of Jesus in the Gospel of John. These are not metaphors;
rather, they are declarations of God’s name, as applied by Jesus to Himself. The first instance
comes as Jesus responds to a complaint by the Pharisees. “I tell you the truth,” Jesus says, “before
Abraham was born, I am!” (John 8:58). The verbs Jesus uses are in stark contrast with each
other: Abraham was, but I am. There is no doubt that the Jews understood Jesus’ claim to be the
eternal God incarnate because they took up stones to kill Him (verse 59).

The second instance of Jesus applying to Himself the name I AM comes in the Garden of
Gethsemane. When the mob came to arrest Jesus, He asked them whom they sought. They said,
“Jesus of Nazareth,” and Jesus replied, “I am he” (John 18:4–5). Then something strange
happened: “When Jesus said, ‘I am he,’ they drew back and fell to the ground” (verse 6). Perhaps
explaining the mob’s reaction is the fact that the word he has been provided by our English
translators. Jesus simply said, “I am.” Applying God’s covenant name to Himself, Jesus
demonstrated His power over His foes and showed that His surrender to them was entirely
voluntary (see John 10:17–18; 19:11).

➢ As Elohim, Jesus Christ exercised Divine power

➢ As Jehovah, Jesus Christ is “the same yesterday, today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) ready to save to
the uttermost those who come to God through him (Hebrews 7:25).

3. ADONAI

ADONAI [ˌædɒˈnaɪ; ah-daw-nahy]: “Lord” (Genesis 15:2; Judges 6:15) – used in place of YHWH, which
was thought by the Jews to be too sacred to be uttered by sinful men. In the Old Testament, YHWH is more
often used in God’s dealings with His people, while Adonai is used more when He deals with the Gentiles.

Adonai translated “as Lord”, is used over 400 times and stresses His absolute authority.
A. The singular noun Adon means lord (over subjects) or master (over servants), both of which stress His
absolute authority.
B. The intensive or majestic plural ending (-ai) attached to Adon marks Him as “Lord par excellence” or
“Lord of all”—Psalm 136:3.
➢ better or more than all others of the same kind
➢ being the best of a kind
➢ preeminent a chef par excellence - surpassing all others (incomparable or outstanding) - is
an example of excellence –
superior:
adverb above all;
above and beyond all other consideration
pre-eminently - (above all).
C. Adonai denotes (means) God as the One Who justifiably (with good reason) expects obedience—Joshua
5:13–15; Isaiah 6:1–8.

5
Usage
This name occurs about 300 times in the Old Testament as a name for God and is translated “as Lord” with
only the first letter a capital.

Used by men it occurs 215 times and is translated as “master,” “sir” and “lord.” But for the most part,
“master.” E.g. Genesis 24 “my master Abraham.”

Used of men it is always in the singular form, adon. Only if God is it in the plural, suggesting the Trinity.

Significance
The name Adonai, while translated as “Lord,” signifies ownership or mastership and indicates the truth that
God is the owner of each member of the human family, and that He consequently claims the unrestricted
obedience of all. Deuteronomy 10:17 “Lord of Lords,” i.e. “master of masters.”

Application
This name implies God’s right as our Master to implicit obedience (John 13:13).
It also implies the servant’s right to direction from his Master (Isaiah 6:8-11).

As believers, we are not our own; we have been bought with a price. We belong to God who is our Master.
We are therefore to glorify God in our bodies, which belong to him (I Corinthians 6:19-20). “Lord (master)
what will you have me to do?” (Acts 9:6).
Who is God according to the Bible?
His Nature
God is a Spirit (John 4:24). He is One, but exists as three Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit (Matthew 3:16-17). God is infinite (1 Timothy 1:17), incomparable (2 Samuel 7:22), and unchanging
(Malachi 3:6). He exists everywhere (Psalm 139:7-12), knows everything (Psalm 147:5; Isaiah 40:28), and
has all power and authority over all (Ephesians 1; Revelation 19:6).
His Character
God is loving (Ephesians 2:4-5), just (Acts 17:31), truthful (John 14:6), and holy (1 John 1:5). He shows
compassion (2 Corinthians 1:3), mercy (Romans 9:15), and grace (Romans 5:17). He is a righteous judge
(Psalm 5:5) but He also offers forgiveness (Psalm 130:4) to those that sincerely ask and are willing to walk
in His path of righteousness.
His Work
God is the Creator of heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1; Psalm 146:6; Nehemiah 9:6). We cannot understand
God apart from His works, because what God does flows from who He is. He actively sustains His creation
(Colossians 1:17). He reveals His good will towards humans (Ephesians 1:11) which involves the
redemption of man from the curse of sin and death (Galatians 3:13-14). He draws people to Him through the
ministry of His Son Jesus Christ (John 6:44). He disciplines His children with love (Hebrews 12:6) and will
also judge the evildoers on the Day of Judgement (Revelation 20:11-15).
The Relationship with Him
God is our heavenly Father who loved us unto death (Philippians 2:8). In the Person of the Son, God became
incarnate (John 1:14) to bear the penalty of our sins, which is death. Thus, the Son of God is the “bridge”
between God and man (John 14:6; 1 Timothy 2:5). It is only through Jesus that we can have peace
(Ephesians 1:7), reconciliation (John 15:15; Romans 5:10), and eternal salvation (2 Timothy 2:10).
In Jesus Christ, “all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form” (Colossians 2:9). So, to know who God is,
all we have to do is to look at Jesus.

6
Finally, if we wish to summarize who is God in one word, that word would be “God is love” (1 John 4:8).
The Father showed us His infinite love on the cross when He offered His only begotten Son to redeem
humans from death “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Love is the pre-eminent quality of
the Creator concerning His creatures. It is the controlling power in the divine government. God’s love
embraces all mankind, but directly benefits only those who accept it (John 1:12).

Names of God in the Bible

Throughout the Bible, people have given many names to or for God. Sometimes they were given in response
to something God had done, other times they were to describe who he is. We will search and input together
the names of God from each book of the Bible.
Why Is it Important that We Know the Names of God?
If you don't know all the names of God, does that make you a bad Christian? Of course not. There are
hundreds of names and titles for God found scattered throughout Scripture. Even some of the most mature
Christians in the faith may not know all of them.
But we should learn the names of God because they help us to know his character more. Let's say we are
dealing with a health crisis. If we know that God is called the Great Physician, that can give us great
comfort. If we know him as the Healer, we can take refuge in that name. God's names not only give us
comfort, but they also give us insight into the many facets of who he is.
Different names tell different stories. El Shaddai will tell us a different story than Elohim. Because we are
finite beings, we have trouble grasping the magnitude of our God. But when we learn the different names of
Jesus, we can have a better understanding. The more we understand something or someone, the greater the
relationship.
As Christians, we strive to become more like God. And how we do so, is by learning about God's character.
How we learn about God's character comes from understanding the meaning behind the names of God in
Scripture.

right is He’ (Deuteronomy 32:3 & 4). ‘Yahweh is my Rock, my Fortress, my Deliverer, my God, my
Rock in Whom I take refuge, my Shield, the Horn of my salvation, my High Tower’ (Psalm 18:2).
He is the life-giving water that comes from the Rock. ‘Speak to the Rock … so it gives forth its

20. EL-DEAH
God of knowledge. Wisdom comes from the Lord. Man tries to become wise apart from God, ut ends
up in foolishness. When we fear God and keep His commandments, to love one another, we will
know Him as He is and His wisdom will guide us.
(1 Samuel 2:3; Romans 11:33-36; 1 Cor. 1:18-31)
21. EL MISHPAT: “GOD OF JUSTICE” (ISAIAH 30:18). God is perfectly just and will bring
perfect justice to the world. There we should trust Him when we see injustice (and still act,
remember our responsibility!) because, I n the end, those who cause injustice will get their reward.
22. EL SELICHOT: “GOD OF FORGIVENESS” (NEHEMIAH 9:17). We might be slow to forgive,
but it is God’s nature to forgive (once we repent!). God desires to be a forgiving God, so let’s take
advantage of it by being forgivers ourselves.

power and position. God is supremely exalted, so let us praise Him.
24. EL MIKAROV: “GOD WHO IS NEAR” (JEREMIAH 23:23). God is not a distant God who put
the world together and abandoned us, who is on permanent vacation as the Deists in the 16-19
century taught. He is near to us and His creation. So let the walls come down that hinder you with
fear, so you can receive His love!
25. EL CHASDI: “GOD OF MY KINDNESS” (PSALM 59:11, 18). God is kind and calls us to make
us kind to each other. Christ’s life and sacrifice are supreme examples of God's kindness. So are we
kind to each other as we are called to be?
26. EL JESHURUN … GOD OF ISRAEL. This is an affectionate nickname God has for Israel. ‘He
(God) was King in Jeshurun when the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together’
(Deuteronomy 33:5). ‘There is no one like El Jeshurun, Who rides on the heavens for your help …
The Eternal God is your dwelling place. Underneath you are His Everlasting Arms’ (Deuteronomy
33:26 & 27). ‘Listen now Jacob My servant and Israel whom I have chosen. This is what Yahweh …
Who will help you says, "Do not be afraid Jacob My servant and you Jeshurun, whom I have
chosen’” (Isaiah 44:1 & 2).
27. EL MAUZI: “GOD OF MY STRENGTH” (PSALM 43:2). GOD desires to make us strong and
persevere through adversity. When we realize that we are weak; then, He can make us strong. Have
you accepted His strength?
28. EL TEHILATI: “GOD OF MY PRAISE” (PSALM 109:1). God is supremely worthy of our
praise, so let’s give it constantly. In worship, God is the main subject of our honor and praise. It is
not a show where we entertain each other, because He is the audience and the focus.
29. EL YISHI: “GOD OF MY SALVATION” (PSALM 18:47, 25:5). Salvation is in, and from, a
Person, Christ, not in any belief or religious system. God's nature and will are to save what is lost:
us. Thus, our Salvation is personal, but we serve Him as a collective.
30. EL TZ'VAOT: “GOD OF HOSTS”, OR “GOD OF ARMIES” (2 SAMUEL 5:10). God is a
mighty warrior and is the commander in chief of the armies of Heaven and His people on earth.
Does He have control over you, are you willing to march to His leading? If not, what is in the way?
31. EL ELOHIM: “GOD OF GODS” (DEUTERONOMY 10:17). There are other so-called "gods",
principalities and powers, but God is the only Most Powerful Supreme One’ and is mightier than all.
Therefore, you should have nothing in your way in your life that blocks you from His intimacy. Not
money, time, career, nothing!!!
32. EL TZUR: “GOD OF ROCK” (2 SAMUEL 22:47). A Rock is strong, solid, dependable,
enduring, and use as a weapon or for defence. God is our eternal defence on whom we can depend.
33. EL KOL BASAR: “GOD OF ALL FLESH” (JEREMIAH 32:27). God is the God of all
humanity. There are no gods of various peoples such as the god of the Midianites or the Canadians.
God created all things living, and He demands that they conform to His plans.
34. EL HARUCHOT LEKOL BASAR: “GOD OF THE SPIRITS OF ALL FLESH” (NUMBERS
16:22). GOD created us with a mind, body, and spirit. He claims lordship over all three. Does your
claim of lordship over yourself get in the way of growing closer to Christ?
35. EL HANE'EMAN: “THE FAITHFUL GOD” (DEUTERONOMY 7:9). Everything God says
and does is 100% reliable. He is completely trustworthy. So do you trust Him? Do you through all

9
 things at all times? El HaGadol: “The Great God” (Deuteronomy 10:17). God is great in all ways,
including His nature, attributes, and deeds. So, we can completely trust Him!
36. EL HAKADOSH: “THE HOLY GOD” (ISAIAH 5:16). God is unique. He is distinct from
creation. There is no one and nothing like Him. This means He is set apart and pure. How can this
characteristic influence you to be set apart for Him?
37. EL YISRAEL: “THE GOD OF ISRAEL” (PSALM 68:36). God chose Israel to be a light to all
the nations of the earth and is forever uniquely connected to His Chosen People. This name also
implies responsibility, that God sets us apart for a reason and purpose to make Him known and give
Him glory.
38. EL HASHAMAYIM: “THE GOD OF THE HEAVENS” (PSALM 136:26). God created the
heavens. His throne is in Heaven, and He rules over the heavenly hosts. But He is not by no means
limited to His creation or Heaven. That is God is not a little old man living high up on a mountain
top, He is beyond the scope of space and time! Have you realized how big our God is, and how small
your problems are?
39. EL SALI: “GOD OF MY ROCK” (PSALM 42:10). God is my defender, my stronghold, and my
protection from all attacks. Thus, there is no need for us to retaliate a wrong for wrong or seek
payback or revenge, He is our defender! El Simchat Gili: “God, The Joy of My Exaltation” (Psalm
43:4). God is the source of fabulous joy, f we choose to receive it. So, do you choose Him?
40. EL RAH'EE: “THE GOD WHO SEES” (GENESIS 16:13). God sees and knows all. So why try
to lie to and evade Him?
41. EL HAKAVOD: “THE GOD OF GLORY” (PSALM 29:3). God Himself is beautiful and is the
basis of all beauty and creativity. Do you take the time to enjoy Him, His creation as well as the
beauty, splendour, and, wonder of our adventure in this life?
42. EL DE'OT: “THE GOD OF KNOWLEDGE” (1 SAMUEL 2:3). God is all-knowing and the
source of all knowledge. Thus, all of the knowledge we have has come from Him. We may think we
are smart with our accumulated wisdom and sciences, but we have nothing, no science no knowledge
with God giving it to us!
43. EL OLAM: “THE GOD OF ETERNITY”, OR “THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE” (GENESIS
21:33). God is eternal. He is the Maker of time, space, eternity, and the universe. He is without
beginning and end.
44. EL EMET: “THE GOD OF TRUTH” (PSALM 31:6). God is the source of ultimate reality.
Everything connected with Him is true and real. The answer to all of the philosophers’ quests!
45. EL EMUNAH: “THE FAITHFUL GOD” (DEUTERONOMY 32:4). God is completely reliable.
You can trust Him completely, in this life and with your eternal destiny.
46. EL YESHUATI: “THE GOD OF MY SALVATION” (ISAIAH 12:2). God Himself is the source
of salvation. We fell by sin and invoked the wrath of a just, pure and holy God. We deserved death
and His anger, yet He steps in to save us from Himself (God’s wrath) and ourselves (our willful
disobedience and sin)!
47. EL CHAIYAI: “THE GOD OF MY LIFE” (PSALM 42:9). God is the source of all life. He gives
life and takes life (including eternal life) because it is His. So, have you realized where you belong?
48. EL ECHAD: “THE ONE GOD” (MALACHI 2:10). HE is the only true God, the ultimate Mighty
One. There is one God and guess what? You are not it! El Roi: “the God who sees me.” This
expression of God appears only in Genesis 16:13, which refers to how Hagar finds protection and
provisions in the desert at the spring Beer-lanai-roi. She addressed Yahweh with this title, which
means the God who opens our eyes. He has opened your eyes, but have you seen?
49. EL RACHUM: “THE GOD OF COMPASSION” (DEUTERONOMY 4:31). God’s nature is
kindness and is full of compassion and feeling for His people. We may complain to God in times of
stress and confusion, “Why did this happen…?”, but He is completely free of any cruelty or
meanness.
50. EL CHANUN: “THE GRACIOUS GOD” (JONAH 4:2). God’s nature is gracious, giving, and
generous, even when we don't deserve it. That is what grace is all about!
51. EL KANA: “THE JEALOUS GOD” (DEUTERONOMY 4:24). GOD is extremely protective
towards His people and doesn't want to share our praise and devotion with other "gods." His very
name and character is “Jealous” (Exodus 34:14). How do you spend your devotions and time?
52. EL TZADIK: “THE RIGHTEOUS GOD” (ISAIAH 45:21). Everything God does and says is
right. Even though there is much unrighteousness in the world, He is completely fair and just in all
10
 His doings. So, we can rest our fears away in Him. If not today or tomorrow, eventually He will
make everything right (Rom. 8:28).
53. EL YESHURUN: “THE GOD OF YESHURUN” (DEUTERONOMY 33:26). This name means
"righteous" and is also another name for Israel. God is forever uniquely connected to Israel. He is
righteous and calls Israel to be righteous.
54. EL GIBOR: “THE MIGHTY GOD” (ISAIAH 9:6). God is the strongest force in the universe.
Thus, even further reason for our trust and obedience! Elah Sh'maya: similar to ‘HaShamayim’,
“God of Heaven” (Ezra 7:23). God created the heavens and is Lord of it all. His throne is in Heaven,
and He rules over the heavenly hosts but is not solely contained in Heaven.
55. ELAH SH'MAYA V'ARAH: “GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH” (EZRA 5:11). God is the
ruler over the entire universe. There is nothing that is not under His control, care, or power. Have
you surrendered yourself to His love, car,e, and power?
56. ELOHIM KEDOSHIM: “HOLY GOD” (LEVITICUS 19:2, JOSHUA 24:19). God is revealed to
us as unique, special, one of a kind, and pure. There is no one and nothing like Him, never was, and
never will be. He is distinct from everyone and everything else in the universe. This name also
testifies to His holiness, that God is pure and free from any wrong. That is why Christ had to appease
His wrath and take our place.
57. ELOHIM CHAIYIM: “LIVING GOD” (JEREMIAH 10:10). God is alive and the giver of life.
He created life and everything that is living. He desires to give us abundant, eternal life. Do you live
a life with gratitude for what you have, your blessings? Even if you cannot see them in the deepest
darkest times of despair, His care is still there!
58. ELAH IS ARAMAIC FOR "GOD (SMALL G)." ELAH” APPEARS IN THE HEBREW
BIBLE IN JER. 10:11 (WHICH SOME PARTS ARE IN ARAMAIC, AND ARE PLURAL,
"GODS"). In Daniel (the Aramaic sections), Elah is used both for pagan gods and the true God, also
plural. Elah is equivalent to the Hebrew Eloah, which is dual, while Elohim is three or more. The
gods of the nations are called "eloElohimThe origin of Eloah is vague. Elohim is the more common
plural form of El. Eloah is used 40 times in Job between 3:4 and 40:2, but fewer than 15 times
elsewhere in the OT. It is mostly in thetic literature.

59. EYALUTH: “Strength” Psa. 22:19.

60. GAOL: “Redeemer” (to buy back by paying a price). Job 19:25; For example, the antitype
corresponding to Boaz the Kinsman-Redeemer in the Book of Ruth.
61. HASHEM (in Hebrew: ‫ )השם‬is a term that literally means “The Name”. It is used to avoid
referring to the Name of GOD. It is also used to avoid writing the word YHWH (formed by
the Hebrew letters yod hei vav hei), and with the word ADONAI which is used only in
prayers, songs and when teaching a class of Torah. It is common practice for Jewish culture
to limit the use of Names referring to the CREATOR to a liturgical context. In a casual
conversation some Jews, even when not speaking Hebrew, will call GOD HaShem (‫)השם‬,
which means “the Name” (cf. Leviticus 24, 11 and Deuteronomy 28, 58). In the same way,
citing TaNaKh or prayers, some believers replace ADONAI with HaShem.

62. JUDGE: Psa. 7:8, 96:13.

63. JEHOVAH ELOHIM: “LORD God” Gen. 2:4; Judges 5:3; Isa. 17:6; Zeph.
2:9; Psa. 59:5, etc.
64. JEHOVAH-SHAFAT - Jehovah our judge. Isaiah 33:22. God is not a merciless judge, but "our
judge" who is in our favor. And though the Bible makes clear that He will not leave the guilty
unpunished, He is our judge who will protect our rights before the cross in Calvary.
65. JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU: “The Lord Our Righteousness” Jer. 23:5, 6, 33:16.
From “tsidek” (straight, stiff, balanced – as on scales – full weight, justice, right, righteous, declared
innocent.) God our Righteousness.

66. JEHOVAH-ROHI: “The Lord Our Shepherd” Psa. 23, from “ro’eh” (to
pasture). The Lord my shepherd. He cares for you, the way a shepherd tends his sheep. He cares for

11
 you and leads you to still waters and green pastures.
(Psalm 80:1, 95:7, Isaiah 40:11, Jeremiah 31:10, Ezekiel 34:12, 23)
67. JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH: “The Lord is There” (Ezek. 48:35). The Lord who is

betrays you. (Genesis 28:15, Ezekiel 48:35, Psalm 23:4, 46:1, 139:7-12, Jeremiah 23:23-24, Amos
5:14)
68. JEHOVAH-SABAOTH: “The Lord of Hosts” The commander of the
angelic host and the armies of God. Isa. 1:24; Psa. 46:7, 11; 2 Kings 3:9-12; Jer. 11:20 (NT: Rom.
9:29; James 5:4, Rev. 19: 11-16).
69. JEHOVAH RAPHA – The Lord that heals (Exo. 15: 26). The Lord is our healer. “By His stripes
were are healed” declares the Bible. Jesus Christ died to give you life. Not only was God the healer
in the Old Testament, but Jesus Christ revealed the healing heart of God for all of us, more than
ever. (Exodus 15:26, Exodus 15:26, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Psalm 6:2, 41:4, 103:3, 147:3, Isaiah 19:22,
30:36, 57:18-19, Jeremiah 3:22; 17:14, 30:17)
70. JEHOVAH SABAOTH – the Lord of the host, the Lord of powers (1 Sam. 1: 3). The Lord of Hosts.
The Bible mentions myriads of angels, who wage war against the armies of hell, who try to destroy
mankind. Jesus Christ is the Lord of hosts, the Captain of the armies of heaven.
(Isaiah 6:1-3, 1 Samuel 1:3, 17:45; 2 Samuel 6:2, 7:26-27; 1 Chronicles 11:9; Haggai 1:5)

73. KADOSH: "Holy One" Psa. 71:22; Isa. 40:25, 43:3, 48:17. Isaiah (Isa.) uses the expression "the
Holy One of Israel" 29 times.

74. MAGEN: “Shield” Psa. 3:3, 18:30.

75. MELEKH: "King" Psa. 5:2, 29:10, 44:4, 47:6-8, 48:2, 68:24, 74:12, 95:3, 97:1, 99:4, 146:10; Isa.
5:1, 5, 41:21, 43:15, 44:6, 52:7, 52:10.
76. PALET: “Deliverer” Psa. 18:2.

80. SHEPHERD: Psa. 23, 79:13, 95:7, 80:1, 100:3; Gen. 49:24; Isa. 40:11.

81. SHAPHAT: “Judge” Gen. 18:25

82. SHILOH, The peacemaker (Gen. 49: 10)

83. TSADDIQ: “Righteous One” Psa. 7:9.

84. TSUR: “God our Rock” Deut. 32:18; Isa. 30:29. Malachi calls Messiah “The Sun of
Righteousness” (Malachi 4:2). Isaiah calls Messiah “Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God (El
Gibhor), Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isa. 9:6). ‘Attiq Yomin (Aramaic): “Ancient of Days,”
Dan. 7:9, 13, 22.
85. “YHVH” / JEHOVAH O'SAYNU: “THE LORD OUR MAKER” (PSALM 95:6). THE LORD
is our Creator. Since He is our Maker, He deserves all that we have and all that we are.
86. Y A H W E H
The self-exist+ent One. He has always existed and will always exist. You can always rely on Him
because He is your eternal source of strength.
(Genesis 2:4, Isaiah 40:3; 10; 1 Samuel 1:20; Exodus 6:1-4, 3:1-22)
87. YHWH GMLUTH … GOD OF RECOMPENSE OR VENGEANCE. ‘Yahweh is a God of
recompense. He will surely requite’ (Jeremiah 51:56). “Vengeance and recompense are Mine”
(Deuteronomy 32:35). "Vengeance is Mine," says the Lord, "I will repay" … It is a fearful thing to
fall into the hands of the Living God’ (Hebrews 10:30 & 31).

12
88. YHWH MQDSH’EM … GOD OUR SANCTIFIER. ‘I AM The Lord Who sanctifies you’
(Exodus 31:13).
89. YAH VEH-HOSEENU - The Lord Our Maker Job 35:10
90. YAH VEH-ELOHEKA - Lord Thy God Deut.2:7
91. YAHWEH YIREH
The Lord Will Provide (Gen. 22: 13-14)
The Hebrew word raah (RA-ah, from which yireh is derived) means “to see.” In this case, it is
translated as “provide.” Since God sees the future as well as the past and the present, he can
anticipate and provide for what is needed. Interestingly the English word “provision” is made up of
two Latin words that mean “to see beforehand.” When you pray to Yahweh Yireh, you are praying to
the God who sees the situation beforehand and can care for your needs.
92. YAHWEH-MACCADDESHEM
The Lord is your sanctifier. Forgive your ns and His Holy Spirit works in your life to become like He
is: pure, loving, true (Exodus 31:13, Leviticus 20:8; Ezekiel 37:28)

93. YAHWEH SHALOM THE LORD IS PEACE

Judges 6: 24
Shalom is a Hebrew word, so much richer in its range of meanings than the English word “peace,”
which usually refers to the absence of outward conflict or a state of inner calm. The concept of
shalom includes these ideas but goes beyond them, meaning “wholeness,” “completeness,” “finished
word,” “perfection,” “safety,” or “wellness.” Shalom comes from living in harmony with God.
94. YHWH TSEVA’OT OR EL TZBAUTH … God of Hosts or the Supreme Ruler of Heavenly
Armies. ‘I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up and the train of His robe filled the
temple. Above Him stood the seraphim … One (seraph) called to another (seraph), "Holy, holy, holy
is Yahweh of Heavenly Armies! The whole earth is full of His glory!" (Isaiah 6:1 to 3).
95. Y A H W E H - N I S S I
The Lord our banner. The Lord gives us victory in spiritual warfare. When the enemy comes in like a
flood, the Lord raises a banner of His love over us and covers us. He wages war on our behalf and
makes us more than conquerors in Christ Jesus.
(Exodus 17:15)
96. Y A H W E H - S H A L O M
The Lord is peace. Whenever there are storms in your life, hide in Him. He is your shelter in the
storm. He gives peace beyond understanding, even when circumstances are chaotic. He is our shelter
and our shield. (Judges 6:24)

97. YAHWEH-GHMOLAH
The God of Recompense. The Lord says in Romans 12 “vengeance is mine, I will repay.” We should
never avenge others for what they do to us, but leave it in God’s hands. (Jeremiah 51:6)
98. YAH VEH-SHAM - The Lord is There Ezekiel 48:35
99. QANNA, a jealous God (Exo. 20: 5)
100. ZUR: "God our Rock" (Deut. 32:18; Isa. 30:29).

The Holy Spirit is compared to:

Clothing (Luke 24:49): Because He clothes us with power from on high.

A Dove (Matthew 3:16): The dove is a symbol of purity and peace. It flies in the heavens and was used
as a sacrifice for the poor.

A Pledge, Earnest Money (2 Corinthians 1:22): Because He is the pledge and the down payment of
our inheritance.
A Seal (Ephesians 1:13): Because a seal protects, makes secure and demonstrates ownership.
Fire (Acts 2:3): Because fire separates the impure from the pure, it cleanses and purifies.
Oil (Acts 10:38): Because oil was used for anointing, for healing, for nourishment, and it burned to give
light.
Water (John 7:38): Because water is simple yet mysterious. It is tasteless, formless, colorless, transparent,
and buoyant. It can hold up a huge ship. It is used for transportation. The Holy Spirit holds us up and
transports us through this world to the World To Come. Water cleanses and refreshes. With water, there is
life, growth, and fruitfulness. Without water there are deserts.

Wind (John 3:8): Because we can't see the wind but we can see its results. Just as the winds blow
wherever it wants, so God's Spirit is sovereign. He gives gifts as He wills. Wind can be powerful like a
tornado or hurricane, or be a cool, refreshing breeze.

Breath: (John 20:22). Without breath we die. God's Breath gives us life. We have life and intimacy with
God due to His indwelling Spirit.
Wine: (Ephesians 5:18). Because we are not to be drunk with wine, but be filled with the Spirit.

“The Trinity”: The word comes from the Latin, "Trinitas” which means three or threeness, and the
word is not found in scripture. The Bible from Genesis to Revelation depicts God as being triune in
nature, that He has three forms or three ways of revealing Himself! This is evident from the third
person case in Gen. 1 & 2 to a more exacting form such as here in Romans 15:17-20! Yet the
O.T. proclaims One God only (Deut 6:3-5; Ex. 20; Isa. 40; 44-45), and so does the N.T. (Mark 12:29-30,
I Cor. 8:4; Eph. 4:6; I Tim. 2:5). There has been a lot of argumentation over the centuries from the first
early church council to present-day TV preachers misrepresenting God. Why? Because God is beyond the
confines of our limited, known universe, beyond space and time, and definitely beyond our
comprehension! Thus, God reveals Himself to us so we can be able to understand and comprehend. This
doctrine may be hard for most people to understand, nevertheless, it is true and essential for us to know
the One True God. There is one God who reveals Himself in three personalities. In theology, they are
called "Substances". There is God the Father. From Genesis chapter 1 God starts out speaking in the
plural form. (Gen 1-2; 6:5-7; Ex. 20; 32:9-14; I Kings 8:27; Psalm 90; 102:25-27; 145:18; Isa. 40:12-31;
66:1; Mal. 3:6; Matt. 10:29-30; John 4:24; 5:26; Acts 4:34-35; 17:23-25; Eph. 1:11; II Pet. 3:8; Rev.
4:10); Then, there is God the Son (John 1:-18; 20:28-31; Acts 7:59; Rom. 9:5; 10:9-13; II Cor. 12:7-9;
Phil. 2:5-6; Col. 1:15-17: 2:9; Heb. 1:1-12; I Pet. 3:15). And, finally there is God the Spirit (John
14:1626; 15:26-27; 16:7-15; Acts 5:3-4). All three are proclaimed together in Matt. 28:19; Rom. 8; 15:17-
29; II Cor. 13:14; Eph. 1:3-14; II Thess. 2:13-14; I Pet. 1:2; Rev. 1:4-5).

These are not separate Gods; this would be "Tritheism". Nor are they one God acting out three roles; this
would be "Modalism". Even though the word "Trinity" is not found in the Bible, the concept and essence
are clearly stated. And the concept is one God with three conversing, distinct ways to reveal Himself,
"Personalities” or "Substances". They are co-equal and co-eternal; they each have full divinity, yet are
distinct Persons. We are required to give equal devotion and worship. They are not three, but One in
purpose and unity.
