THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD, (john c3:v16), THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD, (john c4:v42), MANS SALVATION IS THE WAY OF THE CROSS, THERE MEN AND WOMEN CAN AT LAST RECEIVE FORGIVENESS, AND ALL THE REDEMPTIVE BLESSINGS IN JESUS CHRIST, FOR THE HAND THAT PROVIDES AND THE EYES THAT SEE ARE JEHOVAH-JIREH.
JEHOVAH-MeKADDÎSHKED (exod c31:v13) (THE LORD THAT DOES SANCTIFY YOU) THE LORD GOD’S SANCTIFICATION WAS HERE GIVEN TO THE ISRAELITES IN HIS LAWS, WHICH THEY HAD TO ADHERE TO, FOR HE IS A HOLY GOD, THEY AS THE CHILDREN OF GOD HAD TO BE A HOLY NATION, DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER NATIONS, SET ASIDE AS A PECULIAR PEOPLE. THE LAW OF THE SABBATH WAS GIVEN TO THE ISRAELITES BEFORE ANY OTHER LAW, IT WAS A SIGN OF GOD’S UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL, THE KEEPING OF THE SABBATH WAS BY THE ISRAELITES AN INDICATION OF THEIR SPIRITUAL CONDITION TOWARDS THE LORD GOD, (jer c17:v19:v27, ezek c20: v12-v24). A DAY IN WHICH JEHOVAH WAS TO BE WORSHIPPED AND HONOURED, IT COMMEMORATED GOD’S REST AFTER THE WORK OF CREATION, (gen c2:v2), IT IS THE ONLY COMMANDMENT OF THE TEN, WHICH IS NOT REPEATED AFTER THE DAY OF PENTECOST, IF THE ISRAELITES HAD KEPT GOD’S STATUTES AND COMMANDMENTS, HE IN TURN WOULD HAVE FULFILLED HIS PROMISE TO THEM, (deut c10:v15), THAT IS THEY WOULD HAVE BECOME A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS, YET THEIR APOSTASY FROM THE LORD GOD RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF THAT PROMISE. THE CHILD OF GOD LIVES NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW, FOR CHRIST JESUS FULFILLED ALL THE DEMANDS OF THE LAW, AND WE ARE SANCTIFIED BY THE WORD, (john c17:v17-v19), AND BY THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT, (rom c8:v1-v15), FOR WE WALK NOT ACCORDING TO THE FLESH, BUT ACCORDING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW, BUT UNDER GRACE, (rom c6:v14, lev c20:v8, c21:v8, c22:v32, ezek c20:v12).
JEHOVAH-YESH (Jehovah-moshi’ek, isa c60:v16)(I,THE LORD, AM YOUR SAVIOUR). DELIVERER, CHRIST JESUS, THE ANOINTED ONE, THE MESSIAH, SAVIOUR, REDEEMER AND BLESSED, HE WHO SAVES AND DELIVERS FROM SIN, (col c1:v13, john c1:v7), BOTH NOW AND IN THE FUTURE, (rom c6), CHRIST JESUS THE SAVIOUR WHO BRINGS SANCTIFICATION TO THE SOUL, AND ADOPTION INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD, (gal c4:v5, eph c1:v5), BEING SET ASIDE AFTER CONVERSION, FOR A HOLY PURPOSE, FORSAKING SIN, BEING CONFORMED INTO THE IMAGE OF CHRIST JESUS, (rom c8:v29, col c3:v10), SOLELY CONSECRATED UNTO GOD, GIVING HIM SOUL WORSHIP, (john c4:v23-v24, matt c22:v37, deut c6:v5).
JEHOVAH-nâKâh (ezek c7:v9) (THE LORD WHO STRIKES) A PROMISE FROM THE LORD GOD THAT HE SHALL POUR OUT HIS WRATH UPON MANKIND, BECAUSE OF THEIR SIN AND INIQUITY TOWARDS HIM, (isa c21), SRAEL WAS NOT SPARED FROM GOD’S JUDGMENTS, FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, GOD FOREWARNED ISRAEL THROUGH HIS PROPHETS, BUT HIS CRIES WENT UNHEEDED, AND THEY REMAINED REBELLIOUS, AND DID NOT REPENT FROM THEIR WAYS, AND MAN HAS NOT LEARNED FROM ISRAEL’S PAST EXPERIENCE, AND SO GOD SHALL AGAIN POUR OUT HIS JUDGMENTS UPON MAN, IN WHAT THE LORD JESUS TERMED, THE END OF THE AGE, (matt c24, rev c16, ezek c38), MANS CHIEF PURPOSE IS TO GLORIFY GOD, FOR THIS REASON MAN WAS CREATED, YET FROM THE FALL MAN HAS ALWAYS TAUGHT HIS OWN PRECEPTS, FORSAKING THE WAYS OF THE LORD GOD, MANS APOSTASY FROM GOD WILL EVENTUALLY OPEN THE WAY FOR THE ANTICHRIST, (2thess c2:v4), THE WORLD IN GENERAL HAS REJECTED CHRIST JESUS AS THE SAVIOUR, THE VERY RELIGIOUS SYSTEM OF TODAY SHALL PREPARE THE WAY FOR THE MAN OF SIN, (SON OF PERDITION), THUS THE WRATH OF GOD SHALL COME UPON APOSTATE MAN, (2thess c2:v9: v12).
JEHOVAH-NISSI (exod c17:v15) (THE LORD MY BANNER) THE BATTLE AT REPHIDIM, BETWEEN THE ISRAELITES AND THE AMALEKITES WAS NOT JUST A RECORD OF ONE OF THE MANY BATTLES THE ISRAELITES HAD TO FIGHT, BEFORE ENTERING INTO THE PROMISE LAND, BUT WAS THE LORD GOD REVEALING THE IMPORTANCE OF OBEDIENCE, TO HIS CHILDREN, FOR DELIVERANCE FROM THE ENEMY SHALL ONLY COME WHEN FIRST WE SURRENDER TO THE LORD GOD, FOR WHEN WE WALK IN THE LIGHT WE HAVE VICTORY, BECAUSE CHRIST JESUS IS IN THE LIGHT, (1john c1:v7)THE EVENTS AT REPHIDIM HAD A SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE, THE AMALEKITES REPRESENTED THE WORLD WITH ALL ITS HATRED AGAINST THE LORD GOD, (john c15:v18, jam c4:v4, 1john c2:v15), THE SPIRITUAL LESSON IS SIMPLE, THE LORD GOD DOES NOT PROMISE TO DELIVER YOU OUT OF YOUR TROUBLES, BUT TO DELIVER YOU THROUGH THEM, FROM THE WORLD THE CHILD OF GOD CAN ONLY EXPECT PERSECUTION AND TRIBULATION, (john c15:v19, matt c5:v11- v12, rom c5:v3 john c16:v33), BUT CHRIST JESUS OVERCAME THE WORLD, AND HE IS THE BANNER WHICH THE CHILD OF GOD CARRIES, AS THEY FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, (1tim c6:v12).
JEHOVAH-RÂÂH (Jehovah-ro’i, ps 23) (THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD) THE GOOD SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP, IN PSALM 23, WE HAVE THE LORD GOD REVEALING HIMSELF, NOT ONLY AS THE GOOD SHEPHERD, BUT AS THE GREAT SHEPHERD (heb c13:v20), AND THE CHIEF SHEPHERD, (1pet c5:v4) IN VERSE 1, THE LORD REVEALS HIMSELF AS JEHOVAH-JIREH, VERSE 2, AS JEHOVAH-SHALOM, VERSE 3, AS JEHOVAH-ROPHEKA, AND JEHOVAH-ZIDKENU, VERSE 4, AS JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH, AND VERSE 5, AS JEHOVAH-NISSI, AND JEHOVAH-MEKADDISHKEM, PSALM 23, REVEALS THE OUT POURING OF GOD’S LOVE. NO GREATER LOVE WAS EVER SHOWN, THAN THE LOVE OF GOD, HANDING ON A CURSED TREE, (gal c3:v13, 1pet c2:v24), CHRIST JESUS WHO DIED FOR THE SHEEP, (john c10:v11), THAT THE SHEEP MAY LIVE, HE IS THE GOOD SHEPHERD, WHO GAVE HIS LIFE SO THAT HIS SHEEP COULD ENTER IN, THROUGH THE DOOR OF HEAVEN, AND PASS INTO GREEN PASTURES, THE GREAT SHEPHERD WHO AROSE FROM THE DEAD, THE CHIEF SHEPHERD WHO SHALL COME FOR HIS SHEEP, THE ONLY SHEPHERD WHO CAN PROVIDE THE WAY TO GOD THE FATHER, HE IS THE ONLY SHEPHERD IN WHOM THE SHEEP FIND PEACE WITH GOD THE FATHER, THE ONLY SHEPHERD WHO CAN HEAL OUR SOULS, AND THE ONLY SHEPHERD IN WHICH WE BECOME RIGHTEOUS, BEFORE THE LORD GOD, THE ONLY SHEPHERD THAT CAN TAKE US INTO THE VERY PRESENCE OF GOD ALMIGHTY, THE ONLY SHEPHERD WHO HAS GONE BEFORE US AND PREPARED A PLACE FOR US, HE IS THE ONLY SHEPHERD WHO IS CALLED "SON OF THE MOST HIGH GOD", AND HE IS THE ONLY SHEPHERD WHO CLAIMED THE TITLE, THE GREAT "I AM" (john c17:v17-v19).
JEHOVAH-ROPHEKA (exod c15:v26) (THE LORD WHO HEALS YOU) INDEED JEHOVAH DOES HEAL AS THE NUMEROUS STORIES THROUGHOUT HOLY WRIT REVEALS, PHYSICAL HEALINGS IS A SIGN AND A TESTIMONY TO THE POWER AND GLORY OF THE LORD GOD, (john c11:v40), BUT IN THE STORY OF MIRAH, JEHOVAH-ROPHEKA WAS NOT REVEALING PHYSICAL HEALING, BUT SPIRITUAL HEALING, THE HEALING OF THE SOUL, HE REVEALED TO THE ISRAELITES THAT INSTEAD OF GRUMBLING ABOUT THEIR LOT IN THE WORLD, THEY WERE TO BE OBEDIENT TO HIS WORD, (exod c19: v5-v6). FOR HIS WORD IS TRUTH (john c17:v17), LIFE IS OFTEN BITTER FOR MAN, LIKE THE WATERS OF MIRAH, YET THE LORD GOD SHOWED AWAY TO MAN WHICH WAS THE WAY OF THE CROSS (TREE), HE WAS REVEALING SUFFERING BEFORE GLORY, (luke c24:v26-v46, rom c8:v17- v18, 2tim c2:v11- v12), CROSS BEFORE CROWN, THE SUFFERING OF THE CROSS IS THE OBEDIENCE OF A DISCIPLE, THE EMPTYING OF SELF AND THE FILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE LORD DOES NOT FREE US FROM BONDAGE TO BECOME MASTERS OF SELF, BUT A SERVANT OF HIS, A SERVANT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, IT IS ONLY WHEN A DISCIPLE NAILS SELF-WORTH (EGO) TO THE CROSS, THAT THE SWEET WATERS FLOW, THE LIVING WATERS, AND THAT THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS RISES WITH HEALING IN HIS WINGS, (john c6:v35, c7:v38, mal c4:v2, ps41:v4).
JEHOVAH-SHÂMMÂH (ezek c48:v35) (THE LORD IS THERE) FROM EZEKIEL CHAPTER 40 TO 48, WE HAVE A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE MILLENNIUM TEMPLE, SOME BELIEVE IT TO A LITERAL TEMPLE, WHILE OTHERS BELIEVE IT TO BE A SPIRITUAL TEMPLE, THESE EIGHT CHAPTERS OF SCRIPTURE RECORDED IN EZEKIEL HAVE BEEN LOOKED UPON BY MANY COMMENTATORS AS THE MOST DIFFICULT TO INTERPRET, BUT WHAT IS TRUE, IS THE FACT THAT IN CHAPTER 43, THE LORD GOD TAKES POSSESSION OF IT BY FILLING IT WITH HIS GLORY. THERE ARE SEVEN TEMPLES RECORDED IN SCRIPTURE, THE FIRST IS REVEALED IN 1SAMUEL CHAPTER 1:VERSE 9, THE SECOND IS SOLOMON.S TEMPLE, 1KINGS CHAPTER 6:VERSES 5:17, THE THIRD TEMPLE IS ZERUBBABEL’S EZRA CHAPTER 4:VERSES 1:2, THE FOURTH IS HEROD’S TEMPLE, JOHN CHAPTER 2:VERSE 20, THE FIFTH TEMPLE IS THE TRIBULATION TEMPLE IN WHICH ANTICHRIST SHALL DISPLAY HIMSELF AS GOD, (2 thess c2:v4, dan c9:v27, c11:v31, c12:v11, matt c24:v15, rev c11:v1:v2). THE SIXTH TEMPLE IS THE MILLENNIAL TEMPLE OF EZEKIEL,CHAPTERS 40 TO 48 AND THE SEVENTH TEMPLE IS THE HEAVENLY TEMPLE OF REVELATIONS CHAPTER 21, THE FIRST SIX OF THESE TEMPLES ARE BUILT IN ISRAEL IN THE CITY OF JERUSALEM, THE SEVENTH TEMPLE WAS NOT BUILT BY HUMAN HANDS, BUT DESCENDED DOWN FROM HEAVEN, (rev c21), THERE ARE ALSO SEVEN REFERENCES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT MENTIONING THE BELIEVERS AS A TEMPLE, 1cor c3:v9:v17, c6:v19, 2cor c6:v16, eph c2:v20:v21, heb c3:v6, 1pet c2:v5, c4:v17). THE REVELATION OF THE SEVENTH TEMPLE, THE HEAVENLY TEMPLE, IS THAT THE LORD GOD AND CHRIST AS THE TEMPLE, AND THIS REVELATION ALSO REVEALS THAT THE CHURCH, THAT IS THE BODY OF BELIEVERS ARE ALSO THE TEMPLE, FOR AS THE SON IS IN THE FATHER, AND THE BELIEVERS IN THE SON, (john c14:v20). CHRIST JESUS IS THE LIVING STONE AND THE CORNER STONE, THE BELIEVERS ARE ALSO LIVING STONES, BEING BUILT UP AS A SPIRITUAL HOUSE,(1pet c2). WITHIN EVERY BELIEVER (BORN AGAIN),"GOD REIGNS" "JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH", THE LORD IS THERE!
JEHOVAH-SHÂLOM (judg c6:v23:v24) (THE LORD SENDS PEACE) THE LORD SPOKE UNTO GIDEON, PEACE BE UNTO YOU, FEAR NOT, FOR YOU SHALL NOT DIE, "FEAR", IS ONE OF THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE ELEMENTS EVER TO COME UPON MAN, GIDEON FACED SUCH FEARS, ONE WAS FROM THE WORLD, (MIDIANITIES), AND THE OTHER WAS FROM SEEING THE FACE OF GOD, IN THE FORM OF THE "ANGEL OF THE LORD", (gen c16:v13, c32:v30, exod c3:v6). FOR NO MAN SEE’S GOD’S FACE AND LIVES, (exod c33:v20, isa c6:v5,1tim c6:v16) YET GOD GAVE GIDEON PEACE, THE PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING, (phil c4:v7), THE BLESSING THAT EVERY CHILD OF GOD RECEIVES, PEACE NOT AS THE WORLD GIVES, BUT RECONCILIATION BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, FREEDOM FROM CONDEMNATION, AND THE WRATH OF GOD, THE LORD IS THE SOURCE OF OUR PEACE, WE ARE ACCEPTED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS, AND ARE TO BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, FOR CHRIST SHALL SUSTAIN US IN ALL OUR TROUBLES AND TRIBULATIONS, HE SHALL NEVER LEAVE US NOR SHALL HE FORSAKE US, (heb c13:v5).
JEHOVAH-ZEBÂ’ÔTH (1sam c1:v3) (THE LORD OF HOST). THIS NAME OF THE LORD GOD EMPHASISES THE SOVEREIGNTY AND OMNIPOTENCE OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD, AS THE ETERNAL ONE, THE GREAT ”I AM", WHO CONTROLS AND COMMANDS ALL THE HOST OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE GOD OF ISRAEL AND THE GOD OF THE REDEEMED, 1kings c22, luke c22:v19, rev c19:v14, 1sam c17:v45, rev c17). SAMUEL WAS PROBABLY THE FIRST TO USE THIS TITLE OF GOD, HE LIVED AT A TIME WHICH WAS ONE OF ISRAEL’S DARKEST PERIODS, FOR ISRAEL HAD REBELLED AGAINST THE LORD GOD, THEY DID EVERY THING THAT WAS RIGHT IN THEIR OWN EYES, THEY COULD NOT WAIT ON GOD, (1sam c8:v6), AND IT CAN BE SAID WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM TODAY, PEOPLE DO NOT REALISE THAT GOD’S TIMING IS PERFECT, ISRAEL AT THIS TIME IN THEIR HISTORY WANTED A KING, YET THE LORD GOD WAS THEIR KING, BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT WAIT ON GOD, THEIR MONARCHY BEGAN WITH SAUL AND ENDED WITH CAESAR, (john c19:v15), SAMUEL WAS THE LAST OF THE JUDGES OF ISRAEL, HE KNEW GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY COULD NEVER BE DISPUTED, (job c26:v7), AND HE KNEW THAT THE WAYS OF THE LORD GOD ARE JUST, TO THE CHILD OF GOD THERE IS ONLY ONE KING, (1sam c2:v10, ps 2:v6:v7, ps75:v3.)

AND THROUGH HIM MANY SHALL BE MADE RIGHTEOUS, THE BRANCH IS A REFERENCE TO CHRIST JESUS, FOR HE IS THE LORD OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS (zec c14), HE THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, FOR NONE CAN GO TO THE FATHER, EXCEPT THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, (john c14:v6), OUR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS IS RECKONED UNTO THE LORD GOD AS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS OUR SALVATION, IN THE FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST JESUS, FOR IN THE CITY OF JERUSALEM A FOUNTAIN SHALL BE OPENED FOR THE CLEANSING OF SIN AND INIQUITY, (zec c13:v1), THIS DESCRIPTION IS OF THE LORD JESUS WHEN HE COMES TO SET UP THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM, A PROMISE TO ISRAEL THAT SHALL REVEAL THEIR MESSIAH, KING, JUDGE, AND HIGH PRIEST, A PROMISE FROM THE LORD GOD, WHEN ALL ISRAEL SHALL CRY OUT, "THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS",(zec c13v9).
JESUS (matt c1:v21) (THE LORD IS SALVATION) JEHOVAH MY SAVIOUR, JESUS IS THE SAME NAME AS THE HEBREW JESHUA, (JOSHUA), (heb c4:v8, acts c7:v45), THE NAME JESUS SHOULD NEVER BE USED FLIPPANTLY BY HIS DISCIPLES, BUT SHOULD ALWAYS BE SPOKEN WITH REVERENCE, TO THE WORLD HIS NAME MEANS NOTHING, BUT TO THE CHILD OF GOD, HE IS LORD, JEHOVAH MY SAVIOUR, GOD IN FLESH, THE ANOINTED ONE, THE MOST HOLY ONE, WHO SAVES HIS PEOPLE FROM THE CURSE OF SIN AND ITS PENALTY, (matt c1:c21, rom c6:v23).
JESUS CHRIST (matt c1:v16, acts c18:v28) (SAVIOUR, MESSIAH) JESUS WAS THE JEWS EXPECTED KING AND MESSIAH, BUT THEY HAD SHUT THEIR MINDS AS TO WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAID ABOUT HIS COMING AND LOOKED FOR THE PRECEPTS OF THEIR OWN HEARTS AND MINDS, THEY WANTED A STRONG AND GLORIOUS EARTHLY KING TO DELIVER THEM FROM OPPRESSION, THUS THEY DELUDED THEMSELVES AS TO THE COMING OF THEIR MESSIAH, THEY BELIEVED AS FAR BACK AS THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY AND DEFINITELY AT THE TIME OF JESUS, THAT THE MESSIAH WAS AT HAND, BUT JESUS DID NOT FIT THEIR EXPECTATIONS, TRUE THERE ARE PASSAGES OF SCRIPTURE WHICH SPEAK OF HIS COMING AS BEING GLORIOUS AND ALL POWERFUL, BUT THERE ARE MANY MORE WHICH REVEAL THAT HIS COMING WOULD BE LOWLY AND HUMBLE AND TO SUFFER AND DIE, (isa c53, ps34:v20, ps31:v5, ps49:v15).
JUDGE AND RIGHTEOUS JUDGE (acts c10:v42, ps 119:v7:v20,2tim c4:v8 , rev c19:v11) ALL AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN FROM THE FATHER TO THE SON, (CHRIST JESUS), TO EXECUTE JUDGMENT (john c5:v22-v27), CHRIST SHALL SIT UPON THE GREAT WHITE THRONE AND WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS HE SHALL JUDGE THE UNGODLY AND UNBELIEVERS, (rev c20:v11), THOSE WHO REJECTED OR REFUSED TO ACCEPT HIM AS THEIR MESSIAH.

LAMB OF GOD (john c1:v29, rev c5:v6) (JEHOVAH-JIREH) BEHOLD THE LAMB WHICH THE LORD GOD PROVIDED, JEHOVAH-JIREH, CHRIST JESUS, THE LORD’S PASSOVER, (exod c12:v11), FOR IT WAS JESUS CHRIST WHO ACCOMPLISHED OUR REDEMPTION AT THE CROSS, (1cor c5:v7), IT WAS CHRIST JESUS WHO WAS WITHOUT BLEMISH (SIN), (1pet c1:v19), IT WAS CHRIST JESUS WHO GAVE HIMSELF FREELY AS THE ONLY SACRIFICE ACCEPTABLE TO THE LORD GOD, (heb c10), AND IT WAS CHRIST JESUS WHO SHED HIS GODLY BLOOD THAT OUR SINS MAY BE FORGIVEN, AND OUR SALVATION ASSURED, (heb c9:v14). NOTE: THAT THE LORD JESUS IS PORTRAYED WITHIN THE BOOK OF REVELATION, AS THE RISEN LAMB IN ALL HIS STRENGTH, POWER AND PERFECTION AND WORTHY OF ALL WORSHIP, (rev c5)THE WORD LAMB IS MENTIONED FOUR TIMES BETWEEN MATTHEW AND JUDE, AND TWENTY-SIX TIMES IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
