Name of the Lord

Topical Encyclopedia

The Name of the LORD holds profound significance throughout the Scriptures, representing His character, authority, and presence. In the Hebrew Bible, the most sacred name of God is YHWH (Yahweh), often rendered as “LORD” in English translations. This name is considered so holy that it was traditionally not spoken aloud, with “Adonai” (Lord) or “HaShem” (The Name) used in its place during readings.

Revelation of the Name:

The Name of the LORD is first revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:14-15, where God declares, “I AM WHO I AM.” He instructs Moses to tell the Israelites, “I AM has sent me to you.” This self-existent, eternal nature of God is encapsulated in His Name, signifying His unchanging and sovereign character.

Attributes and Character:

The Name of the LORD is often associated with His attributes. In Exodus 34:5-7, God proclaims His Name to Moses, revealing Himself as “The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and truth.” This passage highlights His mercy, justice, and faithfulness.

Sanctity and Reverence:

The sanctity of the Name is emphasized in the Ten Commandments, where the third commandment instructs, “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain” (Exodus 20:7). This command underscores the importance of honoring God’s Name in speech and conduct, reflecting a life that reveres His holiness.

Protection and Refuge:

The Name of the LORD is depicted as a source of protection and refuge. Proverbs 18:10 states, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” This metaphor illustrates the security and strength found in trusting God and His promises.

Invocation and Worship:

Throughout the Psalms, the Name of the LORD is invoked in worship and praise. Psalm 113:1-3 calls believers to “Praise the LORD. Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. Blessed be the name of the LORD both now and forevermore.” The Name is central to worship, reflecting the acknowledgment of God’s majesty and sovereignty.

Salvation and Deliverance:

The Name of the LORD is also associated with salvation. Joel 2:32 proclaims, “And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.” This promise is echoed in the New Testament, where calling upon the Name of the LORD is linked to the salvation offered through Jesus Christ (Acts 2:21, Romans 10:13).

The Name in the New Testament:

In the New Testament, the Name of the LORD is closely associated with Jesus Christ. Philippians 2:9-11 declares that God exalted Jesus and “gave Him the name above all names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.” This passage affirms the divine authority and lordship of Christ, uniting the reverence of God’s Name with the person of Jesus.

Conclusion:

The Name of the LORD is a profound and multifaceted concept in the Bible, encompassing His identity, character, and relationship with His people. It calls for reverence, trust, and worship, serving as a reminder of God’s eternal presence and the salvation He offers.

The Divine Name:

Of special interest is the usage with respect to the name of God. (For the various Divine names and their significance see GOD, NAMES OF.) He revealed Himself to Israel through Moses by a new name (which was at the same time that of the God of their fathers)-JEHOVAH (which see) (Yahweh)-the nature of which should be shown by His manifestations on their behalf (Exodus 3:13-16; Exodus 15:2, 3). The “name of God was therefore not a mere word, but the whole of” the Divine manifestation, the character of God as revealed in His relations to His people and in His dealings with them (Exodus 9:16 Joshua 7:9; Joshua 9:9, etc.). The “name of Yahweh” was proclaimed to Moses on Mt. Sinai, “Yah, Yahweh, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth,” etc. (Exodus 34:6); the name Yahweh (so revealed) was (Exodus 3:15) His “memorial Name” (so, often, in the American Standard Revised Version; see MEMORIAL). His sole Deity was such an important element in His name that Deuteronomy 6:4 was termed the “Shema” (from shema`, “hear,” the first word in 6:4), the first article of Israelite faith, taught to all the children, written on the phylacteries, and still recited as the first act in public and private worship “twice a day by every adult male Jew.” Where Yahweh is said to record His name, or to put His name in a place (or person), some special Divine manifestation is implied, making the place or person sacred to Him (Exodus 20:24 1 Kings 8:16). His “name” was in the angel of His Presence (Exodus 23:21); what He does is “for his great name’s sake,” in fidelity to and vindication of His revealed character and covenant relationship (2 Chronicles 6:32 Psalm 25:11); the great things He should do would be “for a name” (Isaiah 55:13); He would give His people a new name, “an everlasting name” (Isaiah 56:5); to be “called by” the name of Yahweh is “to be his people” (2 Chronicles 7:14 Isaiah 43:7); it implies “protection,” etc. (Isaiah 63:19 Jeremiah 14:8, 9); to “call upon” the name of Yahweh was “to worship him” as God (Genesis 21:33; Genesis 26:25, etc.); “to confess” His name, to “acknowledge him” (1 Kings 8:33, 35); to love, trust, act in, etc., “the name,” was to love, trust, etc., Yahweh Himself (Psalm 5:11; Psalm 7:17). Very frequently, especially in the Psalms and prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah, “the name” of God stands for “God himself”; to “forget his name” was “to depart from him” (Jeremiah 23:27); “to minister, prophesy, or speak” in His name signified Divine appointment, inspiration, authority (Jeremiah 11:21; Jeremiah 14:14, 15, etc.); we have “swearing by” or “in” the name of Yahweh (Deuteronomy 6:13); to take His name “in vain” was to swear falsely (Exodus 20:7 Leviticus 19:12); we have “blessing” in His name (Deuteronomy 10:8); “cursing” (2 Kings 2:24). In Leviticus 24:11, we have the case of one who “blasphemed the Name, and cursed,” the penalty for which was death by stoning (24:13-16). In later Jewish usage (compare The Wisdom of Solomon 14:21) the sacred name Yahweh was not pronounced in reading the Scriptures, ‘Adhonay (“my Lord”) being substituted for it (the vowels belonging to ‘Adhonay were written with the consonants of the Divine name), hence, the frequent term “the Lord” in the King James Version, for which the American Standard Revised Version substitutes “Yahweh.”

New Testament Word and Use.

1. Character and Work of the Person:

In the New Testament onoma has frequently also the significance of denoting the “character,” or “work” of the person, e.g. Matthew 1:21, “Thou shalt call his name Jesus; for it is he that shall save,” etc. (Luke 1:31; Luke 2:21; Luke 1:63, “His name is John”; compare the new names given to Simon, James and John; Saul’s new name of “Paul”). The “name” of God has the same relation to the character of God as in the Old Testament (Matthew 6:9; “Father, glorify thy name,” John 12:28); it is manifested by Christ (John 17:26; compare John 17:3); the name of Jesus, as manifesting God, takes the place of the name of Yahweh in the Old Testament (compare James 2:7 with Jeremiah 14:9, and see below); to Him is given “the name which is above every name; that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow…. and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father,” Philippians 2:9, 10 (compare Isaiah 45:23); “It is not the name Jesus, but the name of Jesus” (Lightfoot), i.e. the name (“Lord,”) received by Jesus; we have with reference to Jesus simply “the Name” (Acts 5:41, “worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name”; James 5:14 (probable text, Westcott and Hort, The New Testament in Greek), “in the Name”; 3 John 1:7, “for the sake of the Name”); the “name of Christ” is equivalent to “Christ himself” (Matthew 10:22; Matthew 19:29); it is the same thing as “his manifestation” (John 20:31); therefore “to believe on his name” is to believe in Him as manifested in His life and work (John 1:12; John 2:23); “in the name of God” means sent by God, as representing Him, with Divine authority (Matthew 21:9; Matthew 23:39); in like manner, we have “prophesying” or “preaching” in the name of Jesus (Acts 4:18; Acts 5:28). The “name of Jesus” represented His “authority” and “power,” e.g. working miracles in His name (Matthew 7:22 Mark 9:39 Acts 4:7, `by what name (or “power”) have ye done this?’), and it is contrasted with casting out evil spirits by some other name or power (Acts 16:18; Acts 19:17). The gospel, of salvation was to be preached “in his name,” by His authority and as making it effectual (Luke 24:47); sinners were justified “through his name” (Acts 10:43 1 Corinthians 6:11); sins were forgiven “for his name’s sake” (1 John 2:12); men “called upon the name” of Jesus, as they had done on that of Yahweh (Acts 9:14, 21 (compare Acts 7:59); Romans 10:13, 14).

“To name the name” of Christ was to belong to Him (2 Timothy 2:19); the calling of His name on the Gentiles signified their acceptance as God’s people (Acts 15:17 (quoted from Amos 9:12); compare Romans 1:5); to “hold fast his name” is to be true to Him as made known (Revelation 2:13; Revelation 3:8); to be “gathered together in his name,” to “do all” things in his name,” is as “acknowledging him” (Matthew 18:20 Colossians 3:17); “to baptize in” or “into the name” of Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16, “calling on his name,” contrasted with baptizing into one’s own name in 1 Corinthians 13, eis) is “to call over them his name” (in the rite), as claiming them for Christ and as their acknowledgment of Him or of faith in Him-becoming His disciples; similarly, to baptize “into (eis) the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,” represents “dedication to” God as He has been revealed in Christ.

“In the name of” means “as representing” (or as being), e.g. “in the name of a prophet,” of “a righteous man,” or of “a disciple” (Matthew 10:41, 42); to receive a little child “in Christ’s name,” i.e. as belonging to Him, is to receive Himself (Matthew 18:5 Mark 9:37; Mark 9:41 to disciples, the Revised Version (British and American) “because ye are Christ’s,” margin “Greek: in name that ye are (Christ’s)”; Luke 9:48; compare Matthew 18:20 Mark 13:6, “Many shall come in my name”; Luke 21:8).

2. In Relation to Prayer:

The significance of the name of Jesus in relation to prayer deserves special notice. To pray in the name of Jesus, to ask anything in His name, according to His promises, “Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do” (John 14:13; compare John 14:14; John 15:16; John 16:23); “Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask…. that your joy may be made full” (John 16:24), is not merely to add to our prayers (as is so often unthinkingly done): “we ask all in the name of Jesus,” or “through Jesus Christ our Lord,” etc., but to pray or ask as His representatives on earth, in His mission and stead, in His spirit and with His aim; it implies union with Christ and abiding in Him, He in us and we in Him. The meaning of the phrase is, “as being one with me even as I am revealed to you.” Its two correlatives are “in me” (John 6:56; John 14:20; John 15:4; 16:33; compare 1 John 5:20), and the Pauline “in Christ” (Westcott, The Gospel according to John).

Divine Names

The names of God in the Bible reveal His nature and attributes. The most sacred name of God in the Old Testament is Yahweh (YHWH), often rendered as “LORD” in English translations. This name is first revealed to Moses at the burning bush, where God declares, “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14), signifying His eternal, self-existent nature. Other names of God include Elohim, emphasizing His power as Creator, and El Shaddai, meaning “God Almighty.”

Names of Jesus

The New Testament places great emphasis on the name of Jesus, which means “Yahweh is salvation.” The angel instructs Joseph to name Mary’s child Jesus, “because He will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Jesus is also called Emmanuel, meaning “God with us” (Matthew 1:23), highlighting His divine presence among humanity. The name of Jesus is central to Christian faith and practice, as believers are called to pray and act in His name (John 14:13-14).

The following are the Hebrew and Greek translation that I made from many Lexicons and from the three different Greek New Testament Texts.

A composite of the Hebrew words for Joel 2:30: And I will show a token, a sign and wonder in the visible arch of the sky where the clouds move and throughout all the earth, in the fields, in the country, in the wilderness and it will have the appearance of blood; along with a burning, hot flaming fire; with columns of cloudy dust, smoke and vapor.

A composite of the Hebrew words for Joel 2:31: The brilliant sun, from the rising of the sun in the east to the sun rays in the arch ways of the sky, will be changed into darkness; as if it were night and the moon will take on the appearance of blood before the great and noble, fearful and terrible day in which Jehovah; the self-Existing One; the Eternal Lord shall come.

A composite of the Greek words for Acts 2:19: And I will bring forth a rare event so extraordinary, it will inspire wonder; for it will be in the elevated area of the sky and a token of these events; will be throughout the entire regions under the surface of the soil, of all the land of the world; for it will be a visible wonder of flowing substance like blood; of flashes of lightning and fire; with a mist of smoke.

A composite of the Greek words for Acts 2:20: The rising of the sun in the east and the rays of daily light will become as an outlining shadow and the bright shining moon, will appear to be a blood red color; before that mighty and visible day in which the One in supreme authority will come.
