What's In A Name? - Exodus 3.

God revealed his magnificent name to Moses in instead significant fashion. Moses, a fugitive, was often tending lamb in Sinai. One day, all of a sudden he sees a bush burning that does not consume itself. He goes to inspect it out only to listen to a voice asking him to remove his sandals, for the ground he is basing on is holy ground. From that bush Moses hears words of God and also revelation of his divine name.

 

He proclaimed the name of God.

God disclosed his name in the context of his care for his harming individuals. God's response concerned them in four considerable verbs:.

1. God hears.

2. He bears in mind.

3. He sees, and.

4. He is worried.

 

" So God heard their groaning, and He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God saw the Israelites, as well as He took notification." (Exodus 2:24 -25 HCSB). Then God adds two brand-new measurements to his relatedness. He claims, "I have boiled down to rescue them..." (3:8). As well as his assurance to Moses is, "I will certainly be with you" (3:12).

 

Each of these verbs sets the context for the discovery of the divine name. God hears the pleas of his people; he remembers his agreement with his individuals; he sees the distress of his individuals; he is concerned about his people; he saves his people; he assures to be with his people.

 

(3:13). In great Hebrew style, for focus as well as clarity, God reveals his name in 2 parts. God states, "I AM WHO I AM" (3:14). In other words, God's name - "I AM WHO I AM" - speaks of his necessary being. That God is!

 

In the second part of the revelation in verse 15, God moves from the initial person "I AM," to the 3rd person "He is." The Hebrew is Yahweh, equated "The LORD." Notice what God says, "Say this to the Israelites: Yahweh, the God of your dads, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and also the God of Jacob, has actually sent me to you. This is My name forever; this is how I am to be kept in mind in every generation" (3:15).

 

God's name is not simple; it is profound. God's name is not minor; it is charming.

 

Yahweh's name.

The name Yahweh and also its short type Yah takes place over 6,800 times in the Old Testament - more than any kind of various other word. Yahweh is God's self revelation. Arguments over its meaning have actually taken place for centuries. Some have actually recommended that it indicates outright being, creation, as well as benevolent visibility are all recommended. Yet God is revealed as One who can not be fully understood in brief.

 

From the shrub, an icon of his hiding, and fire, a mark of his righteousness, comes the word of his name, a sign of his dynamic existence - "I AM WHO I AM.".

 

Conclusion.

What's in a name? When that name is Yahweh, every little thing is in that name: life, fact, and partnership to the living God. Hence, to recognize the name of God is to recognize God as he has revealed himself.

 

God came to one nation on planet in order to redeem a people for Himself, to make a name for Himself, and to execute for them fantastic and also outstanding acts, driving out countries and also their gods prior to Your people You retrieved for Yourself from Egypt" (2 Samuel 7:22 -23 HCSB). God never falls short, because his name is over all names (Phil. Notification what God states, "Say this to the Israelites: Yahweh, the God of your daddies, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and also the God of Jacob, has actually sent me to you. When that name is Yahweh, whatever is in that name: life, truth, and also partnership to the living God. To understand the name of God is to understand God as he has actually exposed himself.
