El (Or Elohim) &
Yahweh- El literally just means “God”, and is used as a proper name for God
in the Exodus passage below. Elohim, used interchangeably with El, means ‘God
of gods’. The use of the plural Elohim when referring to God has long been an
issue of debate. Yahweh can be translated “I Am” or “I Am What I Am” or “I Will
Be What I Will Be”. It is also used as a proper name for God in the Exodus
passage.
Genesis 4:26
To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call
upon the name of [Yahweh].
Exodus 3:13-15
3 Then Moses said to [El], “Behold, I am going to
the sons of Israel Israel more , said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the sons
of Israel, ‘[Yahweh], the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and
this is My memorial-name to all generations.
Genesis 17:1-5
1 Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old,
the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him,
“I am [El Shaddai]; Walk before Me, and be blameless.
2 “I will establish My covenant between Me and you,
And I will multiply you exceedingly.”
3 Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying,
4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you,
And you will be the father of a multitude of nations.
5 “No longer shall your name be called Abram,
But your name shall be Abraham;
For I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
Exodus 6:1-9
1 Then [Yahweh] said to Moses, “Now you shall see
what I will do to Pharaoh; for [under compulsion he will let them
go, and under compulsion he will drive them out of his land.”
2 God spoke further to Moses and said to him, “I am [Yahweh];
3 and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as [El Shaddai], but by
My name, [Yahweh], I did not make Myself known to them. 4 I also
established My covenant with them, to give them the
Ezekiel 10:4-5
4 Then the glory of [Yahweh] went up from the cherub to the
threshold of the temple, and the temple was filled with the cloud and the court
was filled with the brightness of the glory of [Yahweh]. 5 Moreover,
the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court,
like the voice of [El Shaddai] when He speaks. 6 It came about when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” he entered and stood beside a wheel.
El Elyon- Means literally ‘God Most High’.
Genesis 14:17-24
17 Then after his return from the defeat of
Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom
went out to meet him at the valley
of Shaveh Salem
“Blessed be Abram of [El Elyon] Possessor of heaven and earth;
20 And blessed be [El Elyon]
Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”
He gave him a tenth of all. 21 The king of
Yahweh Rapha- Translated literally this means ‘I Am Your Healer’, “I Will Be Your Healer” or ‘Yahweh The Healer’. Eventually this aspect of God’s character was attributed to an archangel, Raphael. Notice in the name “Raphael” the terms ‘Rapha’ and ‘El’…Raphael means ‘God heals’.
Exodus 15:26
26 And He said, “If you will give earnest heed to the voice of
the [Yahweh] your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His
commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you
which I have put on the Egyptians; for [I am Yahweh Rapha]Qanna – Literally translated “Jealous” God tells the Hebrews this is His proper name when they are thinking about going after to worship other gods.
Exodus 34:14
14 —for you shall not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose
name is [Qanna], is a jealous God—El Roi- This is the name that Hagar gave to God when she encountered him in the desert. It literally means “The God That Sees”.
Genesis 16:13-14
13 Then she called the name of [Yahweh] who spoke to her, “You are [El Roi]”; for she said, “Have I even remained alive here after seeing Him?” 14 Therefore the well was called [The Well of the One Who Sees]; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Shekinah- The name Shekinah means ‘the Presence’ or ‘The Face’. It is the name Jews use to describe the physical manifestation of God that was present in the
Exodus 25:29-31
29 You shall make its dishes and its pans and its jars and its
bowls with which to pour drink offerings; you shall make them of pure gold. 30
You shall set the bread of [Shekinah] on the table before Me at all times. Exodus 33:12-22
12 Then Moses said to the [Yahweh], “See,
You say to me, ‘Bring up this people!’ But You Yourself have not let me know
whom You will send with me. Moreover, You have said, ‘I have known you by name,
and you have also found favor in My sight.’ 13 Now therefore, I pray
You, if I have found favor in Your sight, let me know Your ways that I may know
You, so that I may find favor in Your sight. Consider too, that this nation is
Your people.” 14 And He said, “[Shekinah] shall go with you,
and I will give you rest.” 15 Then he said to Him, “If [Shekinah]
does not go with us, do not lead us up from here. 16 For how
then can it be known that I have found favor in Your sight, I and Your people?
Is it not by Your going with us, so that we, I and Your people, may be
distinguished from all the other people who are upon the face of the
earth?”
Mark 14:36
36 And He was saying, “[Abba], all things are possible for You;
remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.”
Romans 8:15
15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear
again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out,
“[Abba, which means] Father!”Adonai- Adonai is the name that is always used to refer to God when Jews make their prayers. They translate the name “Yahweh” as “Adonai”. It literally means “Lord”, and so in the Bible the name Yahweh is translated THE LORD (capitalized to emphasize its relationship with the name YHWH). Adonai expresses greatness, or beauty. It is a way to recognize that someone is ‘better than’ you are. The name Adonis has the same root.
Joshua 7:6-9
6 Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, both he and the elders of
Yahweh Shalom- Shalom is a very powerful, complex word in Hebrew. It is usually translated ‘peace’, and that is one aspect of Shalom. But a better translation may be something like ‘made complete’ or ‘made whole’. Translated literally this can mean “Yahweh Makes Us Whole”; “Yahweh Is Our Peace”; “I Am The One Who Makes You Whole” or “I Am The One Who Brings Peace”.
Judges 6:24
24 Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD and named it [Yahweh
Shalom]. To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.Yeshua Mesiah- The Aramaic/Hebraic equivalent of Jesus Christ. Literally translated Yeshua or Jesus means “God Saves”. Christ means “God’s Chosen” Jesus Christ would mean “The Anointed One Through Whom God Saves”.
Revelation 1:1-7
1 The Revelation of [Yeshua Mesiah], which
God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take
place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant
John, 2 who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of
[Yeshua Mesiah], even to all that he saw. 3 Blessed is he who
reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which
are written in it; for the time is near.
4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia : Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was
and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5
and from [Yeshua Mesiah], the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and
the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from
our sins by His blood— 6 and He has made us to be a kingdom,
priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion
forever and ever. Amen. 7 BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and
every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the
earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.
