Names of God - YHWH ELOHIYM

 

YHWH ELOHIYM

(pronounced yah-way eh-lo-HEEM)

THE LORD HE IS GOD

Deuteronomy 4:39

Know therefore this day, and consider it in your heart, that 
THE LORD HE IS GOD in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

    There is only one God. He is Almighty God, The God of heaven and earth. He is Spirit. God is Omnipresent: He can be everywhere at the same time. God is Omniscient: knows all there is to know. And God is Omnipotent: all powerful. 

    God is in heaven above: all the heavenly places bear His imprint of creativity. No two stars are exactly like. Every planet is singular in structure. We give parts of the known universe names like Nebulae and Ursa Minor and Milky Way. Yet, God has named each one of His creation with names only He knows. 

    God is in His heaven, that far away place above and beyond the skies and outer space. And because He is Omnipresent, that heavenly place where His thrones are is only one area of His permanent residence [Sapphire Throne: Ezekiel 1:26; White Throne of Judgment: Revelation 20:11-15] . God inhabits (dwells within, lives in) the praises of His people [Psalm 22:3]. 

    God is in His tabernacle. The tabernacle of God is both a physical dwellingplace and a spiritual dwellingplace. In the Old Testament the tabernacle was a tent like no other that had to be put together when God's people would settle in one place, then dismantled and carried to the next place, where it would be reassembled and the glory of God would settle into it, filling it completely.

    In John 1:14, the glory of God is seen in Christ Jesus, Who is The Tabernacle of God and it is this Tabernacle of God that is with men [Revelation 21:3]--the people who believe that Jesus Christ is God's only begotten Son, the people who believe on The Name of The Lord Jesus Christ for our salvation. 

    Those of you who choose not to believe will never know the joy of being loved by God. You will never have an intimate, loving relationship with our heavenly Father. You condemn yourselves to hell and an eternity of torment in the lake of fire. But, you don't have to do that. There's still time to believe. There's still time to repent, to admit you have sinned against God, to turn away from the sins you have committed and turn your hearts and faces to The God of heaven and earth. 

    God is Creator. He created all things, all people for His glory. All the heavens and everything in them. All the earth and everything in it. From a black void to a colorful, peopled, nature-filled wonder. He created me. He created you. And when I turned my back on sin, and turned my face and my heart to my Creator, He created in me a new me through my belief on The Name of The Lord Jesus Christ. God wants to create in you a new creation, too. There's still time. 

    God is in His heaven and in His earth. Is He in you, too?

Names of God - YHWH MAGEN - The Lord My Shield

 

YHWH MAGEN

(pronounced yah-way maw-GEN)

THE LORD MY SHIELD

Psalm 3:3

But Thou, O LORD, are a shield around me, My Glory, and The Lifter-Up of my head. 

    Can't always see Him at work in our lives. Can't always see His protection. But as Christians we know that our God is always with us. We know that He protects us from both unseen dangers and snares laid for us. 

    The Word of God covers us, surrounds us and causes us to walk uprightly in The Word. Our Shield covers our head with His salvation. Our Shield is held in our least dominant hand and arm, the weakest part of us, that His Strength may be made evident, that His Name would be glorified in times of battle and warfare.

    Our Shield is held in front of us. We are holding onto Him while He goes before us. We should never let go of, drop, our Shield, for then we would be in dire straits in the midst of our daily battles. And should one of us be killed for His Name's sake, it is not because we dropped our Shield; it was merely their time to be on the other side of the victory we always hope for. 

    Our Shield causes us to not only walk upright before The Lord (for it impossible to carry our Shield with our heads bowed low), but to maintain a vigilant walk with Him. Always looking forward, anticipating the fiery darts from the enemy's quiver which have the power to slip through our Armor, which is also The Word of God. We must keep our Shields up, our eyes and ears open to the dangers around us, and our Sword ever ready to repel the onslaught of hate which threatens to take us down and out. 

    Our Shield shines with the glory of God. The reflective Light shines Itself into the eyes of our enemies. It frustrates and blinds them to The Truth and sometimes they turn on each other. There is no need for us to polish our Shield, The Word of God; It's shine is The Glory of God. 

    This, our Shield, is a special Shield. It not only leads and protects us going forward, but as we go, It's properties of protection also surround us completely: on every side and behind us: A SHIELD AROUND ME, is what the psalmist writes. What is there to fear, indeed, when God not only goes before us, but is behind us, as well? It wasn't only at the crossing of The Red Sea that God led and followed after His people. He's still doing that. We have the favor of God with us as long as we retain Him as our Shield, too. 

    Don't drop your Shield. Don't stop following after God. Don't stop believing that Jesus Christ Is Lord. Don't stop listening to The Holy Spirit. Continue to walk your faith out in your lives. Continue to read Scripture daily. Continue to commune with, spend time in prayer with, God. Continue to listen to His Holy Spirit, Who is The Breath of God, The Wisdom of God, The Fire of God. You have, after all, the favor of God surrounding you as a Shield.

    Psalm 5:12

For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield. 

The Lord Is King

 

Psalm 47:2

For The LORD Most High is terrible; He is a great King over all the earth. 

Psalm 95:3

For The LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

Psalm 22:27-29

All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to The LORD. All the families of the nations will bow down before Him. For dominion belongs to The LORD and He rules over the nations. All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him—even those unable to preserve their lives.

    As both subjects and travelers will bow in the presence of earthly kings, so, too, will all bow in the presence of THE KING. Even if they don't want to, they will. For in the hearts of those who have rebelled against God in life, they will recognize in death that they were wrong and that Jesus Christ is indeed King of Kings and Lord of Lords. But for them, those, as the psalmist writes, they will not live; for they chose in this life to live without Christ in theirs. And, so, their lives were not preserved; their souls perished and will continue to perish. 

Romans 14:11

For it is written: “ As I live, says The LORD, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.” 

Philippians 2:9-11

Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him The Name above all names, that at The Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God The Father. 

    God made a Way for every person to avoid going to hell for their sins. He calls this Way, The Way of Holiness. The entrance is through Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, Who came to this earth that He created to die for our sins; Who conquered death, hell and the grave by walking out of the tomb after a major spiritual battle in death, into a new glorious body. 

    The Bible calls Him at this time, The Firstfruits: 1 Corinthians 15:20 "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become The Firstfruits of them that slept." He is the First to rise from the dead and remain so. Though many had been brought back through the power of God from death, they all died again and remained dead. Until Jesus rose from the dead. Until death was conquered with such great a victory! The King is King Forever! The Lord is Lord forever! Hallelujah! What a mighty God we who believe choose to serve!

    YHWH ELOHIM MELEK: THE LORD MOST HIGH IS KING FOREVER!

YHWH SHALOM - The Lord Is Peace

 

YHWH SHALOM

THE LORD IS PEACE

Judges 6:23, 24

But the LORD said to him, “Peace be with you. Do not be afraid, for you will not die.”

So Gideon built an altar there to The LORD, and called it The-LORD-Is-Peace. To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. 

Isaiah 6:9

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

John 14:27

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 

    When God calls people to His service, He gives us His peace. We are not called to fear and doubt, we are called to trust and obey. We are not called to worry and anxiety, we are called to rest and remain. Trust in His process and obey His Word. Rest in His Word and remain in Him. 

    Do you think God brings peace only to your surroundings and not to you? Not only can He calm stormy seas with a single word, "Peace", but the storm in our hearts is overridden by His Peace. 

    From Romans to Revelations the peace of God is sent to the churches/individuals to whom the letter is written. And when we understand that we are the church, the letter is written to us, as well. 

    Even in these last hours before Christ returns to get His bride, we encourage you to have His peace present within you. For God has placed a call on each person to enter into His Word, His Joy and His service. There we will know His Peace, for we will know Christ.
