About His Word! (12-27 to 01-13-2000)
Current Topic: The Name of Jesus

Mary and Joseph were told specifically what to call their new born child. In bible times, names had much more significance than they do today. Often the name of the child denoted their character or what mission they were to accomplish in their life. Thus it is for JESUS His name denotes His Deity and the fact that He was to become our Savior.

Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Luke 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

From creation God has progressively revealed Himself through the use of His Name. The I AM revealed to Moses at the burning bush has come down to us as JEHOVAH. Jesus claimed the Name I AM thus claiming to be JEHOVAH.

Exodus 3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

In the Old Testament God reveals Himself through the use of compound names that show His power, authority and attributes such as:

JEHOVAH JIREH - THE LORD WILL PROVIDE

Genesis 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

Other Compound Names of Jehovah:

JEHOVAH NISSI - THE LORD OUR BANNER - Exodus 17:15
JEHOVAH M'KEDDISH - THE LORD WHO SANCTIFIES - Exodus 31:13
JEHOVAH SHALOM - THE LORD OUR PEACE - Judges 6:24
JEHOVAH SHAMMAH- THE LORD IS THERE -Ezekiel 48:35 35
JEHOVAH TSIDKENU - THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUS - JE. 33:16

These compound names point to and culminate in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Name Jesus simply means THE LORD JEHOVAH HAS BECOME MY SALVATION.

Isaiah 52:6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore [they shall know] in that day that I [am] he that doth speak: behold, [it is] I.

The prophet Isaiah sees a future day when the church exalts the name of the LORD JEHOVAH because He has become our salvation.

3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
