    JEHOVAH EL RACHUN

THE LORD GOD IS COMPASSIONATE

JEHOVAH ELOHIM

THE LORD IS MY GOD

Zechariah 13:9

"And I will bring the third part through the fire. Refine them as silver is refined. And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name. And I will listen and answer them. I will say, 'They are My people.' And they will say, 'The LORD is my God.'"

Leviticus 26:11-12

And I will make My dwelling place among you, and My soul will not despise you.

I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.

Jeremiah 30:32

"And you will be My people, and I will be your God."

JEHOVAH NISSI

The LORD Is My Banner

Exodus 17:15

And Moses built an altar and named it The LORD Is My Banner.

Psalm 20:5

We will rejoice in your salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.

Psalm 60:4

You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow. Selah.

Song of Solomon 2:4

He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

JEHOVAH SHALOM

The LORD Is Peace

Judges 6:24

So Gideon built an altar to the LORD there and called it The LORD Is Peace. To this day it stands in Ophrah of the Abiezerites.

Because of Gideon's visit with the angel of the LORD, the messenger from God, he knew the message he had just received was True. (Judges 6:11-22)

In Judges 6:23, the LORD spoke to Gideon and said, " “Peace be with you. Do not be afraid, for you will not die.” 

In wisdom he built an altar to God and worshiped there. For the LORD had given him peace (Peace be with you)

God was with Gideon and Gideon knew immediately the Peace that only God can give.

Is the LORD with you today? Have you received His Peace?

JEHOVAH TSEDEQ

The LORD Our Righteousness

Jeremiah 23:6

In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is His name by which He will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness.

I will say, 'They are My people'. 

And they will say, 'The LORD is my God.'"

PSALM 27:1 "The LORD Is my Light and my Salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD Is the Strength of my Life, of whom shall I be afraid?" 

• This is that Light which shines in the darkness, distinguishing what is Good and what is Right from what is not. "And God said, Let there be Light and there was Light. And God saw that the Light was good, and He separated the Light from the darkness." (Genesis 1:3-4) {while the Light referred to in Genesis 1:3-4 is not the Light of God's Love, it still has the same general concept of light piercing the darkness}.
• This Light is the Path we take through the darkness around us: "Thy Word is a Lamp unto my feet, a Light unto my path." (Psalm 119:105)
• This Light delivers those who walk in darkness: "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a Light has dawned."

This Light is not only to be walked in, but makes one fruitful in the things of The LORD. 

• "For you were once darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord. Walk as children of Light, for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth." (Ephesians 5:8-9)

THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH AND MY SONG

Psalm 59:16

But I will sing of Your strength 

and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning.

 For You are my fortress, 

my refuge in times of trouble.

Psalm 81:1

or the choirmaster. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.

Psalm 95:1-2

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;

 let us shout to the Rock of our salvation! 

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, 

and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

Psalm 98:4-5

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, in melodious song with the harp.

YOU ARE THE GOD WHO SEES ME

Genesis 16:13

So Hagar gave this name to the LORD who had spoken to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, 

“Here I have seen the One who sees me!”

Ezekiel 1:16-18

The workmanship of the wheels looked like the gleam of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. Their workmanship looked like a wheel within a wheel. -- As they moved, they went in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved. -- 

Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims 

were full of eyes all around.

There is no place we can go that God does not see us. Therefore we should want to be a people who delights in the things of God that our actions and our words might bring Him joy.

THE LORD OUR JUDGE

Isaiah 33:22(a)

For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.

JEHOVAH ELOHIM TSABA

So, when I finished reading Jude, there was a cross-reference in verse 23 that took me to Amos 4:11, where I was compelled by the Holy Spirit to read through the end of Amos. And that's when this Name of Christ grabbed my attention.

JEHOVAH ELOHIM TSABA

THE LORD, THE GOD OF HOSTS

Amos 4:13

"For, behold, He Who forms the mountains,

Who creates the wind,

and reveals His thoughts to man,

the One Who turns the dawn to darkness,

and strides on the 

heights of the earth,

The LORD,

The GOD of Hosts Is His Name."

And I talked to The Spirit about how we were going to render this name pictorially. He reminded me that God's warriors are "flaming ministers". That's why each flame carries a sword.

• Hebrews 1:7
• Genesis 3:24

• 2 Kings 6:17
• Ezekiel 1:13

JEHOVAH QAROB

PSALM 145:18

The LORD Is Near to all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth.

In the Bible Emerald green is used to describe the rainbow around God's throne. It indicates a deeper place of worship, a closer connectiveness to our God, our Creator.

Beryl, or a lighter shade of green, is indicative of new growth, new life; specifically, new life in Christ, through our belief on Him as Savior and Redeemer. It is through our faith in Christ, living in Him and He living in us, that makes it possible for us to draw close to God, Who, as He proclaims in this verse, Is Near to all of us who call upon Him; and not just so, but all who call on Him in truth, which means to call on Him faithfully and in faithfulness. 

The vines in this picture remind us that He is the Vine and we are the branches. Through His blood and our faith in His sacrifice and His resurrection, we are now in Him and He is in us.

The old life we lived before we came to saving grace through Christ's atonement is dead on the cross.

The new life we live after receiving God's grace takes us out of the grave and into the life of ministry which God has prepared for us. 

God Is Near. He is just a breath away.

THE LORD IS RIGHTEOUS

THE LORD IS RIGHTEOUS

in all His ways,

And HOLY in all His works.

JEHOVAH CHANNUN-RACHEM

PSALM 145:8

The LORD Is Gracious and Compassionate,

slow to anger and abounding in 

loving devotion.

King of Glory

THE LORD MIGHTY IN BATTLE

THE LORD STRONG AND MIGHTY

PSALM 24:8

Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty, 

the LORD mighty in battle.

JEHOVAH-CHEREV

 DEUTERONOMY 33:29

THE LORD IS SWORD OF MY EXCELLENCE

"Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD? He is the Shield that protects you, the Sword in which you boast. Your enemies will cower before you, and you shall trample their high places.”

JEHOVAH-YASHA

JEHOVAH-YASHA

THE LORD MY SAVIOR

2 Samuel 22:3

The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence.

In David's song of deliverance, he acknowledges that it is the Lord who saves, not just in that moment when The Lord rescued David from Saul, but for always. Anyone can save anyone from anything at any given moment, but it is The Lord who is Savior!

JEHOVAH-GO'EL

This is not the only verse in the Old Testament writings which refers to God as our Redeemer. Isaiah alone contains more than a handful of references. 

JEHOVAH-SHALOM

THE LORD MY PEACE

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31

In other words, what have to fear when our hearts are aligned with God's? Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved." 

Isaiah 9:6 says Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. Romans 5:1 "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our LORD Jesus Christ."

I have this peace. I have peace with God through Jesus Christ my LORD because I believe that He Is and that God sent Him to die on the cross in my place and raised Him from the dead, showing Christ to be God's Promise of Salvation to all men everywhere. 

Getting this peace is easy. Let us pray:

Lord Jesus, I believe that You are God's only begotten Son, that You died on the cross and rose from the dead for me. I recognize that I have sinned against You, against Your Word, and repent of all my wicked ways. Oh God, forgive my wretchedness! Cleanse my heart, wash me clean and make me wholly holy unto You. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I might be able to live daily in You, live in obedience to Your Word. Remember me, O LORD.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.
