Is Jehovah the name above every name?

Question

“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

Philippians 2:9

Answer 1

Jehova is Jesus incarnate.

Answer 2

Phil 2:9 has to agree with

1 Cor 15:27For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET But when He says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him.

He has not been exalted above Jehovah.

Side point to those who ridicule Jehovah's name.

Jesus said it is to be holy.

Answer 3

True, but don't overlook the wording of the scripture. It say God exalted Jesus, implying two individuals. Also, if one person exalts another it usually means the first person has more authority the the one exalted. So the verse just means Jesus has a name higher than any human or angel, and people are bending their knees "to the glory of God the Father," not to Jesus's. Simple.

Answer 4

Of course, the personal name "Jehovah" is above every other personal name of every other being, created or Creator.

But the truth is that Philippians 2:9 can be understood in one (or more) of three ways. Jehovah's Witnesses generally teach the second thought among these three, but acknowledge the likelihood of the first and the possibility of the third.

1. Among CREATURES heavenly and earthly, the personal name "Jesus" is above every other.

2. The "name" given to Jesus (in Philippians 2:9) is actually a TITLE rather than a personal name
(Isaiah 9:6) For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And HIS NAME will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. [caps added]

3. Jesus may properly be called "Jehovah" when he functions in a special role as the direct representative of Jehovah. The bible SEEMS to indicate that a heavenly representative of Jehovah has done this before, and it seems likely that this privilege is reserved for Jesus forever into the future.
(Genesis 18:22) At this point the [materialized angels appearing as] men turned from there and got on their way to Sodom; but as for [the angel using the name of] Jehovah, he was still standing before Abraham

Answer 5

At Philippians 2:9, Paul said about Jesus: “God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name.” What is this new name? And if Jesus is inferior to Jehovah, how is Jesus’ name above every other name?

Philippians 2:8, 9 reads: “More than that, when he [Jesus] found himself in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient as far as death, yes, death on a torture stake. For this very reason also God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name.”

This passage does not mean that since only Jehovah has a name absolutely above every other name, Jesus must be the same person as Jehovah. As the context in Philippians chapter 2 shows, Jesus received his elevated name after his resurrection. Before that, he did not possess it. On the other hand, Jehovah has always been supreme, and his position has never changed. The fact that Jesus received a name higher than the name he had before his earthly service proves that he is not the same as Jehovah. When Paul said that Jesus was given a name above every other name, he meant that Jesus now has the highest name of all God’s creatures.

What is Jesus’ high name? Isaiah 9:6 helps us to answer. In prophesying about the coming Messiah, Jesus, that verse says: “The princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” Here Jesus’ “name” has to do with his high position and authority, which is also how we understand “the name that is above every other name” mentioned at Philippians 2:9. Every knee is commanded to bend to Jesus in recognition of the high position of authority that Jehovah has given to him—a position of authority higher than that given to any other creature. The word “other” in this translation is not directly represented in the underlying Greek text, but it is implied by the sense of the verse. Jesus’ “name” is not above his own name but is above every other creature’s name.

Answer 6

"Jehovah" is based on a misunderstanding of some bible translators who confused the kethib (written) and kere (spoken out loud) versions of the name of God in Hebrew. The written form is YHWH but because the Jews considered it too holy to say, and to avoid the risk of breaking the second of the 10 commandments by accidentally dishonoring the name, they did not say it. When they saw YHWH they would instead read out loud "Adonai" meaning "Lord". The Masoretes put the vowel points for Adonai into YHWH which led those translators to transscribe it Jehovah. Incidentally, if you do wat to use "Jehovah" the J in Jehovah and other biblical names should be pronounced as Y as there is no modern English J sound in Hebrew.

By the late second temple period, the proper name of God, YHWH, was said out loud on only one day a year, only by the high priest on the day of atonement whilst he was performing the ceremonies. Since the temple was destroyed in AD70, it hasn't been said out loud and nobody is sure what it sounded like. "Yahweh" is an educated guess by scholars.

Answer 7

Context helps confirm what's being reported: Paul in Corinthians tells us that some have been claiming to be followers of Paul, Peter, Apollos. additionally Christian Jews claimed to have Moses and Abraham. a number of those are interior the Christian congregation at that element, All claiming to worship Jehovah acceptably. So at Philippians, Paul is telling us that Jehovah has appointed His Son the firstborn of all advent as his purely real representative. If we would desire to worship the daddy acceptably, we would desire to understand Jesus' appointment (Heb a million:3,9) a million Cor 15 tells us that Jesus' appointment excludes his God and Father. Peter and Paul the two tells us that "Whoever calls upon the call of Jehovah would be saved" How do we call upon Jehovah? by utilising the only approved mediator: Jesus. Calling Jesus "Lord" honors Jehovah's association, as a result it additionally Glorifies Jehovah the only real God. .

Answer 10

i dont think people Know his actual name. it is a hebrew tradition that everyone else claims to the true name but I dont believe it is the REAL name of the one I have been taught is Jesus.
The saviour and he is messiah, was rejected of the jews to this day, for the most of them. but that Person Exists in heaven and there is no one else on earth that is higher or more exalted, not in mortality. when i call up on the name of Jesus, and my spirit is wholly sincere, I get answers, i get the spirit. but with all the evil I have experienced in teh world and all the poisons and toxins that have forced upon me, I dont know if i can ever know the true spirit of God anymore. I just Know there is a God. And someday he will appear and possibly I will be raptured away or sent on a mission.

Answer 11

http://www.yahweh.com/SAVIOR/search.htm

Now let's look a little more deeply into this name Jehovah. Notice that many Hebrew names contain the first part of Yahweh's name which is Yah. This is true in the name Isa-YAH (Hebrew: YeshaYAH), which means "Yah is Salvation". Also in Jeremi-Yah (Hebrew: YermeYAH), Obadiah, Zechariah, and so on. Taking this knowledge, apply this to the name Je-hovah with Jeh being the first part of His name. First of all it doesn't add up when it comes to the names of these prophets. (Isaiah's name isn't IsaJEH) Second, the Hovah part of Je-hovah means RUIN and MISCHIEF in Hebrew according to Strong's Concordance #1943:

#1943 Hovah, another form for 1942; RUIN:-MISCHIEF

Is this a good description of our Creator? No, it is Blasphemy and it is also breaking the third commandment
