Your Name

 

“According to Your NAME, O Elohim …” (Ps 48:10 ISR, emphasis mine)

 

Your ‘name’ is what people know you by; it is the stamp that makes you YOU.  However, there are many other titles that can be added to a person’s name; we still find royalty in various countries of the world, where there are Princes and Princesses, Dukes and Duchesses, Lords and Ladies.  It does not change the original name, it only adds to it.

Often, adjectives have been added to the names of persons of history.  For example, in Russia’s history we have “Ivan the Terrible”, and “Catherine the Great”.  In France’s long reign we find the “Spider King”, and from Great Britain, we must include “Richard the Lionhearted”, and “Edward Longshanks”.

The Name of our Elohim stands forever (Ps 135:13), and it is the Name above all names (Phi 2:9).  There is healing in the Name (Acts 3:16; 4:30).  There is freedom in the Name (John 8:36).  There is peace in the Name (John 14:27).  There is joy in the Name (1Peter 1:8).  There is total fulfillment in the Name (Eph 1:22-23).  Demons tremble at the Name (James 2:19), and all heaven rejoices at the Name (Rev 19:6).  There is power in the Name (Acts 4:30; Mat 28:18), and there is no sweeter Name.  And if we would see eternal life with Him, we must all confess His Name, and everything that He has done (Rom 10:9) …

His Name is Yahweh …

 

“I am יהוה, that is My Name, and My esteem I do not give to another, nor My praise to idols.” (Isa 42:8 ISR)

 “… HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity], Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from the [latter] time forth, even forevermore…”  (Isa 9:6-7 AMPC, emphasis mine)
