No doubt the name “Jehovah” is pronounced in the Hebrew Bible (four letter
name) “JHWH” or Jahwe.
Jehovah means, “the existing, the abiding, eternal, steadfast, permanent,
dependable, true, “Who is and will ever be,” or, as the exalted Lord Himself
declares.
“which is and which was and which is to come.” (Revelation 1:4,8; 4:8)
In the most manifold way the name Jehovah gives to us a picture of
salvation, Christian living, and experience and eternal glory.
There are seven names of Jehovah in the Old Testament direct, also
revealed in Psalm 23:
1. Jehovah-Rohi; – The Lord is my shepherd. Psalm 23: 1
2. Jehovah-Shalom; – The Lord who is or gives peace. Psalm 23:2 (Judges 6:24)
3. Jehovah-Rapha; – The Lord the physician. Psalm 23:3 (Exodus 15:26)
4. Jehovah-Tsidkenu; – The Lord our Righteousness. Psalm 23:3, (Jeremiah 23:6)
5. Jehovah-Shammah; – The Lord is there, the tabernacle of God with men. Psalm 23:4 (Ezekiel 48:35)
6. Jehovah-Nissi; – The Lord my banner. Psalm 23:5 (Exodus 17: 15)
7. Jehovah-Jireh; – The Lord who provides. Psalm 23:6 (Genesis 22: 14)
The one other name that sums up all the names is the name “Jehovah-Sabaoth”; The Lord Of Host.
These other names I will briefly mention so you can be looking for them in the future.
1. Adonai – means Lord 450 times
2. El – means mighty God 230 times
3. El Shaddai – means Almighty 50 times
4. El Elyon – means most high God 32 times
5. Elohim – means Creator 2570 times
6. Jehovah; means redeeming and covenant God 6000 times
7. Eloth; means strong one (Almighty) 50 times
Thus altogether the names of God occur in the Old Testament over 6,000
times.
This shows their vast and exalted significance in Biblical revelation
