What is God's Name?

Answer 1

Names of God

The names or titles given to God in the Bible reveal much about His characteristics - who He is, what He is like, and what He does.

When the Bible uses the phrase the ``name of God" or ``in the name of the Lord" it refers to His total person - all that He is. And God's name is excellent and majestic.

(Psalm 8: 1)
Elohim (God) means ``might or strong one"; it denotes the power and pre-eminence of God and is especially used in relationship to creation and strength.

(Genesis 1: 1; Psalm 68: 1)
Adonai (Lord) means ``master, sovereign ruler or Lord" and generally denotes the authority and position of God.

(Psalm 68: 32; Isaiah 6: 8-11)
Yahweh or Jehovah (Lord) means most likely the self-existent one (I am who I am or Iam the One who is) and denotes God's personal name and His eternality.

It is often used in relationship to God as redeemer and covenant keeper.
Yahweh is the most common name for God in the Old Testament.

God's personal name was so sacred to most Jews that they feared to write or say it lest they misused it and usually substituted Adonai for Yahweh.

Jehovah is an English word created from the other two to stand for God's personal name.

(Genesis 2:4; Exodus 3:14; Psalm 68:14)
El Shaddai means ``God Almighty" and pictures God as the all powerful source of blessing and comfort.

(Genesis 17:1; Exodus 6:3; Psalm 68:14)
El Elyon means ``God most High" and pictures God's strength and sovereignty.

(Genesis 14:18; Psalm 9:2)
El Roi means ``God who sees" and denotes God's personal care and presence

(Genesis 16:13)
El Olam means ``Everlasting and Eternal God" and pictures God's eternality and infinite strength.

(Genesis 21:33; Isaiah 40:28)

The following are the main Old Testament Yahweh/Jehovah compound names:

Yahweh Jireh means the ``Lord provides" and was used by Abraham when God provided a sacrificial lamb instead of Isaac.

(Genesis 22:14)
Yahweh Sabbaoth means the ``Lord of hosts" (hosts is sometimes translated almighty or army) and pictures God as the commander of the heavenly armies.

(Joshua 5:14; I Samuel 1:3; Psalm 24:10)
Yahweh Rophe (or Rapha) means the ``Lord who heals" and denotes the physical and spiritual healing power of God.

(Exodus 15:26)
Yahweh Shalom means the ``Lord is peace" and denotes the lack of tension, conflict and strife in God

(Judges 6:24)
Yehweh Nissi means the ``Lord is my banner" and signifies that the battle is the Lord's.

(Exodus 17:15)
Yahweh Tsidkenu means the ``Lord our righteousness" and signifies God as the only source of true righteousness.

(Jeremiah 23:6)
Yahweh Maccaddeschcem means the ``Lord our sanctifier" (or the Lord who makes you holy) and signifies that God is the one who sets people apart and makes them holy.

(Exodus 31:13; Leviticus 20:8)
Yahweh Raah (rohi) means the ``Lord our Shepherd" and denotes God's loving care, protection and provision for His people.

(Psalm 23:1)

Answer 2

Even "Jehovah" is a poor English equivalent for the Hebrew "Name", the Tetragrammaton.

When Moses asked 'Who shall I say has sent me"; God answered and told Moses the name by which He should be known:
I AM
and
I AM THAT I AM.

God declaire that was His Name, the eteranl self-existent One.

And Jesus, while here on Earth, also declared that He was the "I AM", one with the Father.

Actually, there are many Names for God in the Scriptures; many compound (hyphenated) Names ... for Names are "descriptives" of God.

That does not mean that non-biblical names refer to Him; they may refer to pagan gods.

Answer 3

People of different religion may call GOD in diffeent names. But God or A deity is a postulated preternatural being, usually, but not always, of significant power, worshipped, thought holy, divine, or sacred, held in high regard, or respected by human beings. They assume a variety of forms, but are frequently depicted as having human or animal form. Some faiths and traditions consider it blasphemous to imagine or depict the deity as having any concrete form. They are usually immortal. They are commonly assumed to have personalities and to possess consciousness, intellects, desires, and emotions much like humans. Such natural phenomena as lightning, floods, storms, other 'acts of God', and miracles are attributed to them, and they may be thought to be the authorities or controllers of every aspect of human life (such as birth or the afterlife). Some deities are asserted to be the directors of time and fate itself, to be the givers of human law and morality, to be the ultimate judges of human worth and behavior, and to be the designers and creators of the Earth or the universe. Some of these 'gods' have no power at all—they are simply worshipped-.
