Fourteen Primary Names of God
(The Triune Godhead is
comprised of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit)
Jehovah, Strong’s
Old Testament #3068.
Definition: Eternal,
Self-Existent; the Jewish National Name of God.
In the King James Version, Jehovah is usually translated as “LORD” (ALL
CAPS), and in many instances translated as “GOD” (ALL CAPS).
There
are over 6,000 Old Testament Scriptures containing God’s Name Jehovah. Whenever
you see LORD in all CAPS in the King James Version, the name Jehovah is being
referred to.
Isaiah 42:8 “I am the LORD; that
is My Name; and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to
graven images.”
Exodus 6:3 “And I appeared unto
Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; by the Name of God Almighty (El Shaddai),
but by My Name Jehovah was I not known to them.”
Psalms 83:18 “That men may know
that Thou, whose Name alone is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth.”
Jeremiah 32:17 “Ah Lord GOD
(Adonai)! Behold, Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy great power
and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for Thee.”
Yehovih (Strong’s #3069) is a variation of Jehovah. It is translated as “LORD”
or “GOD”, but is pronounced as “Elohim” (Strong’s #430).
Jah (Strong’s #3050) is a contraction of Jehovah. This shortened Name is
used in many compounds, such as names beginning with “Je” (in English) or names
and words ending with “iah” or “jah”. Hallelu-jah means: “Praise be to Jah”
(“Praise be to Jehovah”).
Hayah (I AM that I AM). The name
Jehovah is derived from the Hebrew word “hayah” (Strong’s Old Testament #1961,
translated as “I AM”). In Exodus 3:14, God said to Moses, “Tell the people that
I AM that I AM has sent you” – “hayah ‘aher hayah”). Meaning, “I will be what I
will be” or “I will be all that is necessary as the occasion will arise”. Hayah
is defined as “to exist, to be or become”.
El.
Translated as “God”. Strong’s Old Testament #410.
Definition: God, the One True Almighty God, Jehovah.
Eloah. Translated
as “God”. Strong’s Old Testament #433.
Definition: God, the One True Almighty God. Eloah used of God, as the One and True Deity.
Elohim. Translated as “God”. Strong’s Old Testament #430. Plural of Eloah
(#433).
Definition: Specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the Supreme God, Jehovah. Can also be used in reference to false gods. Occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates, and sometimes as a superlative (exceeding, great, excellent). Can refer to God-like ones. Can be used to denote rulers, judges, angels, works or special possessions of God.
Adonai. Translated as “Lord”. Strong’s Old Testament #136.
Definition: Adonai is a proper royal Name and title of God spoken out of reverence in place of Jehovah. Adonai denotes majesty, respect, honor and authority. Also used of men (lord, master).
In the King James Version, Adonai (when in reference to God) is
translated as “Lord” (title case), while Jehovah is translated as “LORD” (upper
case).
Adonai is an emphatic form of Adown (Strong’s #113). Adown means:
sovereign, to rule, strength, lord, master, king, governor, husband, prophet,
prince, priest, captain, Theophanic Angel, one designated as having authority.
Used for names beginning with “Adoni-“.
Elyon. Strong’s Old Testament #5945. Definition: Most High God. The Highest. A Name of God. The Supreme God. Also used in reference to rulers, angels, princes, Davidic kings exalted above monarchs.
Lord (“Kurios” in the Greek, defined as Supreme in Authority, Master or Controller). In the Greek, “Lord” (kurios) is more of a respectful title than a name (Lord, Master, Sir). Also translated in some passages as “God”. Strong’s New Testament #2962.
God (“Theos” in the Greek).
New Testament Strong’s #2316. Defined as: A Deity, the Supreme Divinity;
figurative, a magistrate.
Ruwach (Spirit). Strong’s #7307 and #7308. Defined as: wind, breath, a mind, a spirit, the seat of the mind and moral character. An ancient angel, and later the Shekinah.
Pneuma (Spirit). Strong’s New Testament #4151. Defined as: from 4154; a current of air, breath (blast) or a breeze; to blow. By analogy or figuratively, a spirit, the rational soul, mental disposition, angel, Divine God, Christ’s Spirit, the Holy Spirit. Pneumatology is the study of the Holy Spirit.
It is God's will that no one should perish (end up in hell), but that ALL should come to repentance.
For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God did not send His Son into this world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him would be saved.
The thief (Satan the devil) comes only for to kill, steal and destroy. But Jesus has come to give us life, and life more abundantly, until it overflows.
I urge you to come to the Cross today and receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will wash away all your sins and make you as clean and white as fresh snow.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus (if you are not able to call him Lord yet, then just say "Jesus")
I receive You as my Savior and Lord. I give my life over to You. I believe that You died and rose again, and that if I call on the Name of the Lord I shall be saved.
I accept you into my heart right now, and confess that You are Lord and have risen from the dead and forever live to make intercession for me.
Thank You for washing my heart pure and clean and making me whole, and for giving me peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old has gone and the new has come.
And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (carnality and sin), but walk after the Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, I believe you got born again and are now heaven bound and will be with the Lord forever and have eternal life. Your sins are now forgiven. You are accepted in the Beloved.
I would encourage you to find a good Bible based local church to help you grow in your faith, to learn the Word of God, to praise and worship Him, and to have fellowship with the saints.
Serving Christ is the best decision you will ever make.
God bless you!!!
