Today’s Podcast
- Thanks for joining me today for “A Little Walk with God.” I’m your host Richard Agee.
- Today we look at God’s name Jehovah-Yahweh. They are one and the same, the first a Christian transliteration of the latter.
- Scripture
- Genesis 2:4
- This is the detailed story of the Eternal God’s singular work in creating all that exists.
- Devotional
- Yahweh, the name God called Himself when Moses asked who he should tell the Israelite sent Him.
- Meanings attributed to the name
- “He Who Makes That Which Has Been Made”
- “He Brings Into Existence Whatever Exists”
- other interpretations have been offered by many scholars.
- Meanings attributed to the name
- Written as a tetragrammaton, four letters YHWH without vowels
- Reminder to never say His name because of its sacredness
- Later transliterated to Jehovah by Christians
- Adonai was the spoken name of God
- One of the seven names of God that should never be erased
- We hear the name Jehovah fairly often, Yahweh not as much, but they are the same
- Transliteration on one to the other beginning in ancient Israel
- God, the one who makes that which has been made
- He is the creator of all things
- If it’s been made, He is the one who brought it into existence
- We might think we are creative, but Yahweh created the creative mind
- Nothing exists without Him
- Today, think about God’s name, Yahweh.
- What does His creative name mean to you?
- What has He created for you and in you that you can give thanks and glorify Him for it
- What has He brought into your life that you recognize come from Him
- Reexamine your life and see how Yahweh has made possible every good thing in your life
- He who makes that which has been made; He brings into existence whatever exists
- Good descriptions of the God we serve
- He is the one worthy of our worship
- Yahweh, the name God called Himself when Moses asked who he should tell the Israelite sent Him.
