So what is in a “name” anyway? Everything, IF it is “Yahweh/Yeshua!” Because there’s the Bible verse that says, “He [Yahweh the Father] “…has given Him [Yeshua] the name which is above every name,” and more specifically,  Phil 2:8-11 nkjv, reads like this:

 “And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

Now, for a special note: Hear THAT devil (and ALL your evil spiritual thugs), and all proud and arrogant human conspirators, that hate Yahweh and His people! NOTHING in this universe will escape bowing the knee and their tongue confessing that The Name/Yeshua IS LORD! Your time to bow and confess is soon to come. Glory to Yahweh… Hallelujah!

“The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble. 10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.” ps 9:10 nkjv

But… For those who disdain the warnings of the Word of Yahweh… to do their own thing:

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God. 18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten; The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

19 “Arise, O Lord, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight. 20 Put them in fear, O Lord, That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah” ps 9:17-20 nkjv

Sometimes when I read the Psalms, and other Scriptures, I overflow with peace and thankfulness for the certainty and finality of Yahweh’s Word and its provision for our “real” spiritual vision that clarifies the temporal realm that we inhabit… whereas so many, and so much, of their efforts are lived in fantasy and carelessness as they flounder chasing the deceptions and the mirage the evil one has orchestrated to draw them into his darkness… which they think is light. Why do you think Yeshua said, “I am the light of the world?”

“Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” jn 8:12 nkjv

The darkness He spoke of is the deception the wicked one offers… it started with the lie he subdued Eve and Adam with in the beginning… so many yet today seek the fruit of that same tree, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, gen 2:16-17; 3:1-19…  the bottom line is, what “name” do you think saves and sanctifies you? There is only one. It [Yeshua] is the only name given among men whereby they [we] may be saved. Acts 4:12 nkjv

So then… WHAT IS in THE NAME? Everything we have need of that pertains to life and godliness [fully living as Yahweh desires for us] 2pet 1:2-4 nkjv

“And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved.” joel 2:32; acts 2:21; rom 10:13; kjv

Saved from what/who? Perhaps it could be said, “saved into what/who;” I think they are connected by a NAME. For example:

Yahweh-Maccaddeshem, our sanctifier;  Yahweh-Rohi‬, our caring shepherd;  Yahweh-Shammah, our ever-present caretaker;  Yahweh-Rapha‬, our healer [body, soul, and spirit];  Yahweh-Tsidkenu‬, our righteousness;  Yahweh-Jireh, our provision;  Yahweh-Nissi, our banner for spiritual victory;  Yahweh-Shalom‬, our peace… to name a few. You will find a complete list with more detail and related scriptures [here].

What is in a NAME…? Everyone of these names were given to Israel at a specific time for a confirmation of Yahweh’s involvement in their well being, for specific provision… then, and they exist eternally for all “who call upon the NAME,” because Yahweh never changes, nor is He a respecter of persons. He has provided for all believers, in and through and by Yeshua… everything needed for life and godliness. What do you need today?

Call upon the specific NAME of Yahweh with an honest and pure heart, in thankfulness, without any iniquity in your heart; and remember, it is by HIS power (eternally existent in His NAME) applied/working with your faith… faith is also a gift and method from Yahweh for believers to walk in. Hopefully, you walk in the light of Yeshua, and not in the deceptive illusion of a devil corrupted world… if floundering, repent and come home to the life and provision that is in the NAME.

Shalom, John
