Alright, Psalm chapter 68. We're continuing our study on the names of God. We started off this study by looking at a list of all the Bible names for God. That's what I just handed out there. These are the names for God the Father. We're going to go over the names of all the different names for Jesus Christ probably next time we have Sunday school, would be my guess. We went over how names are important and are associated with reputations and relationships. We also looked at how seriously God takes His name. Last week we went over many of the modern names for God because you see these different names pop up and names like Yahweh and Elohim and El Shaddai and Adonai and things like that. You hear a bunch of names for God that aren't in the Bible. And so that should be a red flag to you. But we went over those, where they came from, why that could be problematic. I showed you how the name Yahweh was guesswork of how that name for God might have been pronounced and the other three names that I talked about, Elohim, El Shaddai, and Adonai, those are not exclusive names for God and they could be used for people of authority or even angels. This morning what we're doing is I'd like to start off by looking at parts of God's name that He uses in the Bible to associate Himself with someone or something. Because God takes His name seriously and since it does portray His relationship with those individuals. Sometimes people like to use names for God to show their relationship with Him. Sometimes God gives people names to show His relationship and association with them. So let's look at Psalm 68 verse number 4. The Bible says, Sing unto God, sing praises to His name. Extol Him that rideth upon the heavens by His name, JAH. and rejoice before Him." Let's pray. Amen. We just read a verse here in Psalm 68 verse 4. It says, "...sing unto God, sing praises to His name, extol Him that writheth upon the heavens by His name, JAH." Maybe you didn't know that was a name for God in the Bible. That is one of the names for God in the Bible. He says His name is JAH and I believe Here the Bible tells us one of the names for God is Jah, and this is the only reference to that name in scripture. We said before that names mean something, God's name means something, and people's names mean something, okay? There's a meaning to this. Oftentimes in the Bible, the Bible have names that are associated with God. Several of those times that association is made with this Jah sound. Okay, I'll give you several examples here. Jehovah, remember, one of the names for God. But how many other names that start with J in the Bible do you know that kind of have that jaw sound to it? Because we're talking about Jehovah. That is the correct name for God in English. So if you speak in English and, you know, if you want to Sound spiritual will be incorrect. You can say, what was he? Not Jehovah, no, it was, I'll get it. Let me see, Yahweh, that's it. I always forget that one, Yahweh. But if you want it to sound, pronounce it correct in English, that's Jehovah. But I started thinking about some of the J names we got in the Bible there, since his name is Jah. Thought of Joshua, that's got that Jah sound in it. You know what that means? It means Jehovah is salvation. That's what Joshua means. So we've got a Joshua here, no, Joshua, yeah. Jehovah is salvation, that's what that means. That's in Hebrew, that's the Hebrew name Joshua. You know what Jehovah is salvation, you know what that name is rendered in Greek? Jesus. Jehovah is salvation, got that jaw in it. Joshua, Jesus. You know what it is in English? James. James means Jehovah is salvation, kind of like our King James Bible, isn't that something? Anyway, got that jaw sound in it, Joshua, Jesus, James. Here's another jaw name, how about Jeremiah? Jeremiah, that means may Jehovah lift up. Jehu is another one, Jehu means Jehovah is he. You remember David's general, Joab, that's Jehovah his father. Joash means Jehovah gives. Here's another J name for you. How about John? It means Jehovah has been gracious. That's what John means. Or Jonathan, Jehovah gave. A bunch of J names in the Bible. Why? God's name is associated with His people and oftentimes they do a lot of these J names like Josiah. It means Jehovah heals. Judah means praise Jehovah. What are those? J names. Now listen, not all the names that start with J have a meaning associated with God, like Jacob. Jacob starts with J and that means supplanter. But the reason that there are so many J names is because the Jewish people wanted their children to have a name proclaiming their God. So they took a portion of the name of God, that J sound oftentimes, and they gave them a name to associate this child that was born with our God, Jehovah. So they made a name association there to show that relationship that they had. Last week I told you that one of the names for God that they tell us was El, right? So we got Jah for one, El, El means God, okay? And El has the meaning of God in many names in the Bible. That's why we see a lot of El names like Elijah, E-L, Elijah, that means my God is Jehovah. Elisha, there's another E-L, my God is salvation. Eliab, there's another E-L, God is my father. How about Eliakim, God will raise up. Elihu, he is God. It works for women too. Elizabeth, E-L, Elizabeth, my God is good fortune. But you realize that the E-L, these portions of the name of God, they work in the beginning of a name as well as they work in the latter part of a name. How about Bethel? Bethel. Bethel means house. El means God. House of God. That's what Bethel means. House of God. You have, how about Daniel? And we got God again in that name. You know what Daniel means? God's judge. God's judge. Not that he judges God, but he's a judge coming in God's name. How about this one? How about Gabriel? Ends in L. Strong man of God. I like that one. Gabriel, strong man of God. What's the other angel's name? Michael. You ever wonder why I spelled with a A-E-L on there? Michael? That's to put God's name in there. Who is like God? Who is like L? That's what Michael means. Let's just give you some names there to say, oh, that's kind of interesting. But see, God cares about His name and His relationship with His people. As a matter of fact, one time He changed a man's name because their relationship changed. Turn to Jeremiah. You're in Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, keep going, you'll find Jeremiah. Jeremiah chapter 27. Jeremiah chapter 27. I want to show you this guy's name because like I said, God will change men's names like He did with Jacob, changing to Israel, things like that. Men change, their names can change, God doesn't change, His name doesn't change. He has many different names based on the association that He has with those people, but His names don't change. Jeremiah chapter 27, look at verse 20. Jeremiah 27.20, Bible says, Which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem. Yea, thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessel that remains in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and Jerusalem. In verse 20, I read one too many, you've got a bonus one. In verse 20 it says, Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah. Jeconiah is this fellow's name. Jeconiah is his name, king of Judah here. Look at Jeremiah chapter 28 in verse number 4. Now I'll bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah went into Babylon, saith the LORD, for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. And again in chapter 29 verse 2, after that Jeconiah the king and the queen and the eunuchs and the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the carpenters and the smiths were departed from Jerusalem. So Jeconiah, he's the son of Jehoiakim, he was king of Judah when God delivered Judah into Babylonian captivity. Okay, that's the name of the king, right? We read it in three places, Jeconiah, that's his name. Jeconiah means Jehovah establishes. Okay, so he's got the J-E, it means Jehovah establishes, Jehovah establishes. I can, there we go, abbreviate that one. Jehovah establishes. God uses this man's name, Jeconiah, when He's talking about establishing Babylonian captivity over Judah or establishing freedom for Judah from Babylon. Whenever God's establishing something with this guy's name, his name is Jeconiah, we read that there. The problem is Jeconiah did not live a very godly life. He wasn't very close to the God Jehovah in whose part of his name, his name contains. Here is what God called him when their relationship started going really poorly. Look at Jeremiah chapter 22. Jeremiah 22, look at verse 24. Here's what God thinks about this man Jeconiah. Jeremiah 22, 24. As I live, saith the Lord, though Caniah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence. So I thought Jeconiah was his name. Here God calls him Coniah. God took away the J-E from this man's name. You say, why? Let's keep reading. Verse 24, As I live, saith the LORD, though Caniah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence. And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. And I'll cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born, and there shall ye die. But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return. Is this man Caniah a despised, broken idol? Is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? Wherefore are they cast out? He and his seed and are cast into a land which they know not. Oh, earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord, write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days. For no man of his seed shall prosper sitting upon the throne of David and ruling anymore in Judah." Here we have this man, God says, Here, Keniah is the son of Jehoiakim, is the king of Judah at this time, and this same man Same man, Jeconiah, but God took away the J-E. Why? Conniah's despised. God says, I will not give him prosperity. I won't let his seed sit on the throne here. I'm cutting him off. I'm severing my relationship with him because of how he is with me. And not only am I taking away that relationship, I'm taking away my part of his name, out of his name. I'm going to call him Conniah. Why? Because God established it that way. He said, hey, Jeconiah is no longer letting Jehovah establish anything so we'll just see what Caniah can establish. What can he establish? Nothing for his kids. Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days, for no man of his seed shall prosper sitting upon the throne of David and ruling any more in Judah. God gave Caniah a new name reflecting his bad relationship with the Lord. See, God names His children accordingly. And our new names, we sing about it, we've got a new name written down in glory, and it's mine, and it's mine. Our new names are dependent on our relationship with the Lord. Look at Revelation chapter 2. Revelation chapter 22, I'm sorry, Revelation chapter 2. I didn't put all my fancy cheat cheating tabs in here before this Sunday school lesson, so now I've got to go with you all. I don't seem near as fast and spiritual finding the places in the Bible now. I don't get to cheat. Revelation chapter 2, look at verse 17. Revelation 2, 17. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone And in that stone a new name written, which no man knoweth, saving he that receiveth it." Look at chapter 3 verse 12. So the Lord Jesus here is the one speaking. He says He's going to give those that overcome a new name, a stone with a new name written on it. He gets to decide what that name is, you don't get to decide it. Revelation 3.12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out. And I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is New Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God. And I will write upon him my new name." So we're getting some new names. I wonder, you know, talking about Jah and El and things like that, I wonder how many of our new names will have either one of those in it. I wonder how many J names there are going to be in heaven and how many L names are going to be a portion of names in heaven. But see, our new name is dependent on our relationship with him. I don't think our new names are established yet. I think it's dependent on how we live our life and how close we are to him as to whether or not we're going to have that portion in our new names or not. I don't think every name in heaven is going to have that, but I think the ones that live accordingly and that God wants to associate with, I think He'll want to associate with us up there. If we deny Him, He'll also deny us. Alright, let's turn to Genesis chapter 22. Genesis chapter 22, talking about God's name, portions of His name, how He's using it, especially in the Old Testament. See, just like God uses names to associate with His people, Israel likes to use names to associate with God. That's a good one to associate with. You want to show your relationship with God, it's good to have that name accordingly. That's why we ought to watch out what we do as Christians since we're taking the name of Christ with us when we're doing it. Genesis chapter 22 verse number 11, Genesis 22, 11, And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here am I. You remember this is the time that Isaac is being altered on the altar, there by Abraham his father. And God put a stop to it. Isaac is there bound up, he was bound up willingly, laid on the altar by Abraham his father. because God told him he wanted to offer his son as a sacrifice. And Abraham's holding up the knife, getting ready to plunge it down. Voice from heaven says, whoa, hold on, hold on. And that's where we're at right here, verse 11. And the angel of the Lord called upon him out of heaven and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, here am I. And he said, lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him. For now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, that only son from me. Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-Jireh. As it is said to this day, in the mount of the Lord it shall be seen." So here we have a name with Jehovah in it. It's Jehovah-Jireh. I need some more room on here. Let's do it this way. Jehovah Jireh. Let's see if I spelled that right. Let me get it here. There we go. J-I-R-E-H. Jehovah Jireh. We had this question. last week and it's come around a lot because you see names of things associated with Jehovah in the Bible and oftentimes they're said, oh, that's a name for God. Well, we just read it. Jehovah Jireh was not the name of God in this instance. What was Jehovah Jireh? Read verse 14, and Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-Jireh, as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen." Jehovah-Jireh means the Lord will provide. And I looked at several different websites and they all said this is a popular name for God. The problem is Jehovah-Jireh is not a name for God. It's a name for the place here. The Bible says that Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-Jireh. Okay, Abraham was going to offer up Isaac, his son, as a sacrifice to God, but then God stopped him and provided a ram instead. Abraham named this place Jehovah-Jireh. Why? God provided a substitutionary sacrifice, an altar was built, a sacrifice was named, and Abraham named the place. Jehovah Jireh has to do with the place where God provided the ram for a sacrifice in place of Abraham's son Isaac. So it's interesting on some of these things. You've got to watch out whenever people start messing with the names of God. because whenever they start going over to the Hebrew and then start trying to tell you what that Hebrew name means and you don't have any way to check it and everything, they can tell you all sorts of different things. But they like to get in this trend of saying, oh, see, look, Jehovah-Jireh, it's right here, that's the name for God, that means this, and this shows this. They try to get you a whole bunch of stuff that's not based in the Bible at all. Let's look at another one of these Jehovah names, Exodus chapter 17. Genesis Exodus chapter 17, what happens is these modern adaptations for what people say is a name for God, it's kind of a slippery slope because they want to get you to buy into something that's not in the Bible. And whenever they do use instances out of the Bible, they'll misrepresent it. Like I said, I've searched at least three or four different websites on that Jehovah Jireh. All of them said, oh, this is a popular name for God. It's not a name for God. It's a name of a place where an altar was made. Exodus 17, look at verse 8. Exodus 17, 8. Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel and Rephidim. And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand. So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed. And when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses' hands were heavy. And they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon. And Aaron and Herod stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. And his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua. For I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. and Moses built an altar and called the name of it Jehovah Nissi." So now we have Jehovah Nissi. Okay, we had Jehovah Jireh, now we have Jehovah Nissi. All right, popular. Popular occurrence, popular thing that happened in the Bible, you know, Israel's fighting the battle, Abraham, or no, Moses has to hold up his hands and everything. When the hands are up, victory's going, goal is good, we're good, we're scoring points. Arms come down, Israel starts losing, they're losing some guys, you know, tired, tired, his arms are tired, and he sits down on a rock, and he has Aaron and Hur there holding up his hands so they can keep winning the victory. Afterwards, I like this, God delivers such a decisive victory that He commands Moses to write it down in a book because Amalek's going to be wiped out of history. Verse 14, And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua. For I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. That's how thoroughly God gave the victory for Israel over Amalek. After the victory, Moses builds an altar And he names that altar, verse 15, Moses built an altar and called the name of it Jehovah Nissi. Jehovah Nissi means the Lord is my banner. You know what a banner is, right? That's a square flag, it's a military end sign, it's the principal standard of a prince or state. We like to sing the song, we've got Noah sings it the best, we sing Sound the Battle Cry. All right, rouse then soldiers, rally round the banner. Ready, steady, pass the word along. Onward, forward, shout aloud, Hosanna. Christ is captain of the mighty throng. What's that? Rally round the banner. That's the flag. Jehovah's my banner. The Lord is my banner. That's what Jehovah Nissi means. Again, if you look up, if you Google it and say, what's Jehovah Nissi mean? Those websites will say, well, it's a popular name for God. Problem is, it's not a name for God. It's a name for an altar. Again, they're trying to say, God is not the altar. God's the one that the altar was built for. And Moses wants to show his relationship with God, so he names the altar, which talks about God's great deliverance and how God is such a wonderful soldier and how God is such a great commander that he can give us victory and all these different things. He names the altar Jehovah Nissi to remind everybody about that aspect of God and people say, no, that's a name for God. It wasn't a name for God. Turn to Judges chapter six. So at Abraham with Jehovah Jireh, we have Moses with Jehovah Nissi. Both of them have to deal with altars, with praising God for deliverance. Let's check in Judges 6. We have one more Jehovah name that is associated with God. Let's see if this one's a name for God. This one's Jehovah Shalom. Judges 6, verse 11. This is the story of Gideon. Judges 6, 11. There came an angel of the Lord and sat under an oak, which was in Ophrah, that's like Oprah, that pertaineth unto Joash the Abizrite, and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress to hide it from the Midianites. An angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valor. And Gideon said unto them, O my lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us? And where be all his miracles, which our father told us, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? But now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites. And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites, have not I sent thee? And he said unto him, O my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? Behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least of my father's house. Verse 16, And the Lord said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man. And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then show me a sign, that thou talkest with me. Depart not, hence I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my presence, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again. Verse 19, And Gideon went in, made ready a kid, and eleven cakes, of an heaf of flour. The flesh put he in the basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him, unto the oak, and presented it. And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so. And the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes. And there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight. And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God, for because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face. And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee, fear not, thou shalt not die. Then Gideon built an altar, there unto the Lord, and called it Jehovah Shalom. Unto this day it is yet an ophrah of the Asbir, Abir, those guys. So here we have Jehovah Shalom. Another one that if you look up, they're going to say, oh, it's a popular name for God. Problem is, it's not a name for God. Did you catch what it was a name for? Verse 24. Then Gideon built an altar. Here we go again, another altar. Jehovah Shalom means the Lord is our peace. The Lord is our peace. In Judges 6, Israel, and especially Gideon, had no peace. They are basically slaves to the Midianites for seven years. The angel of the Lord shows up and he tells Gideon that the Lord is with him. We saw that in verse 12. Gideon is worrisome and has plenty of excuses and reasons to be afraid. You know, I'm from the smallest tribe. And you know, Gideon prepares a meal for the angel. The angel touches it with a staff. The fire comes out of the rock and it consumes the food. This proves to Gideon that the angel is an angel of the Lord and his words are true. Verse 22 says, And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God! for because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face. The Lord then speaks to him in verse 23 and says, The Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee, fear not, thou shalt not die. The modern Christian resources are wrong. The Bible's right. This is not a name for God. It's a name for the altar built for God. Gideon remembers that in a troublesome war-torn time, whenever they're enslaved by these Midianites, Gideon doesn't have any peace. He has no peace. He's got to sneak around. He can't worship God the way he wants to. Angel comes down, delivers him a message. He goes, how in the world is anything good going to happen here? Don't you know we're under the rule of these Midianites? And makes the offering. Angel touches it. At the end of the staff, fire goes up. You know what he said? I think God's got this. I don't have to worry about this anymore. He makes the altar, calls it Jehovah Shalom. Why? God gave me peace. The Lord is our peace. But see, there's this trend, there's this mindset that if the Bible says Jehovah something, that must be a name for God. No, not if you read your Bible. But see, they're so big into this that they start making some up. Because I looked and I was like, there seems to be, I thought there was more of these Jehovah something names in here. And those were the only three in the Bible. I didn't write down the Shalom, but that was the third one. Those three are actually in the Bible. Maybe you've heard of this one, Jehovah Mekadesh. You've heard of that one? Okay, good. That means it's out there somewhere. It's not in the Bible, but it's out there somewhere. Turn to Exodus chapter 31. Exodus chapter 31. What they tell me, you can look it up and see what they tell you. They say that Jehovah Mekadesh means the Lord who sanctifies. Okay, that sounds pretty good. Hey, the Lord sanctifies. That's good, He does. This is not a name for God in the Old Testament. It's simply a couple of Hebrew words that describes how God sanctifies His people. Here are some of their proof texts, if there was any proof in the text. of this name Jehovah-Meccadesh. We're in Exodus 31, look at verse 12, let's see if we run across a name for God in Exodus 32. Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did He bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them with the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swearest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it forever. And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people." That's their proof text for Jehovah Megadesh. Nothing's being named there. There's no name of God mentioned there, but they're using a description, the fact that the Lord can sanctify people, set them apart, treat them different, they're special, he sanctifies them, they are separated. That's what sanctification is, he separates them out. They're describing what God does, and then they give you a couple of Hebrew words to say, see, ah, this is a name for God. The problem is it's not a name for God in the Bible. Turn to Leviticus chapter 20, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus chapter 20. Here's another one of their proof texts for Jehovah Mekadesh. I just want to show you that, I don't see any names in here. It's a description of what God does. Leviticus 20 verse seven, sanctify yourselves therefore and be ye holy for I am the Lord your God. and ye shall keep my statutes, and do them, I am the Lord which sanctify you." So see there's sanctification and there's the Lord, the Lord sanctifies and so what they do is they want to make a new name for God, one that's not a name for God in the Bible, to tell you a description of God and then say, ooh, isn't this a wonderful name for God? So whenever you are needing some sanctification or struggling with sanctification, you can call on Jehovah Mekadesh. The problem is that's not a real God. That's a description of the real God. It's not a name for God. It's something that someone wants you to call God whenever God's word doesn't call on that. Here's another. I'll give you some more of these other modern names. Maybe you've heard of them. Maybe you haven't. Jehovah Sabaoth. Sabaoth, maybe it's that way, Sabaoth. Is it Sabaoth? Jehovah Sabaoth. You know what that means? That means the Lord of hosts. What this is, this is an untranslated name for God in the Bible. Because if you look on your sheet there, the names for God, Lord of hosts, you see that? 1 Samuel 1.11, Jeremiah 32.18, It's a couple of the references there. I should get out my cup, he's got better notes on it. That is an untranslated name for God, okay? In the Hebrew, Jehovah, Sabaoth, that means the Lord of hosts, okay? So it's simply, that one is simply an untranslated name for God in the Bible. They're trying to get you the Hebrew words to sound spiritual, I'm using Hebrew. I speak English, I'd call him the Lord of Hosts. Okay, the Lord of Hosts is his name. Jehovah Sabaoth, that is the Hebrew name that is always, always, always translated as the Lord of Hosts in the Bible. God translated it into the Lord of Hosts. That is the name that I would use. Why? Because that's what God kept it in. You never see Jehovah Sabaoth in your Bible, so I'd just stick with the Lord of Hosts. That's in there several times, the Lord of Hosts. So that one, at least that one's in the Hebrew, I guess. Third one here, how about Jehovah Shama. Is it Shama, Shema, something? Jehovah Shama. This means the Lord is there. This one's interesting. Turn to Ezekiel chapter 48. Ezekiel chapter 48. Cause like the last one, this word Jehovah Shama, at least this one's actually in the Bible. Okay, this is not a name for God. Okay, I'm gonna X out Jehovah Mekadesh, that's not a name for God. Jehovah Sabaoth, that is a name for God, but it's untranslated. All right, Jehovah Shama. We're gonna see right here, Ezekiel 48, verse 35. Ezekiel 48, verse 35. It was round about 18,000 measures, and the name of the city from that day shall be the Lord is there. You know what Jehovah Shama means? It means the Lord is there. Jehovah Shama, that's actually an untranslated Hebrew name, but was it for God? Let's read verse 35. It was round about 18,000 measures, and the name of the city from that day shall be the Lord is there. It's not a name for God, it's the name of a city. It's a description saying the Lord is there. So again, they're using Hebrew words to try to give you an association, a special close relationship with God, because you're using Hebrew instead of English. And the problem is they use altars, they use names of cities, they're using different things that's not God. Okay, so it's Jehovah Shama, the Lord is there, that's the name of a town, name of a city. We got one more. This one's going to be fun to even try to pronounce. I'm going to write it down. Another modern name they try to use, Jehovah Sidkinu. I'm guessing the T is silent. That seems more Japanese than Hebrew to me, but maybe that's my pronunciation of it. Jehovah Tisidinku. Yeah, that one. Sidin, Sid, any idea on that one? You never heard that one? That's good. Me neither, but it's another one. Well, we're not in Jeremiah anymore. Jehovah Sidkinu, this is another untranslated name for God in the Bible. This one, look at Jeremiah 23. Jeremiah 23. I have no doubt this is a Hebrew word. You know what it means, Jehovah Sidkenu means the Lord our righteousness. How do I know that? Jeremiah 23.6, Jeremiah 23.6, in his day Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely and this is his name. whereby he shall be called the LORD our righteousness." Notice all caps there, that's the name of the Lord. We can see it again in Jeremiah 33.16, I can read it for you. Jeremiah 33.16 says, "...in those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely." And this is the name wherewith she shall be called the LORD our righteousness. Well, that time it seemed more like it was Jerusalem. The Lord our righteousness. Jehovah Sidkenu. Okay, that's what that one means. It's untranslated name for God in the Bible. As is the common theme with those who go back to the original languages, they revert back to Hebrew to try to express a deeper understanding that may or may not be accurate. Okay, so because we got a, I already forgot about Shammah, what that one? That's a city. That's a city. And now after looking at that one again in the second reference, I'm not so sure that that Jehovah Sidkenu is not a city as well, because in 3316 it says her name. She shall be called. So that one very well might be a name of a city as well. Let's see, we've got two of these names. these modern Jehovah hyphenated names. Two of these names for God were not really names for God at all. One is a city, one was a description of God. Okay, that Mekadesh, that's just a description, that's not even a name. Two of these supposed names for God were really names for God that have already been translated in the Bible to give us the understanding with no middleman needed. And if their Hebrew's accurate, whenever someone goes by and they do something like this, if their Hebrew's accurate, it was unnecessary. And if it's inaccurate, then it's a lie and it's dangerous. Because see, some of these words, if they really mean what they say they mean, which we can look at the context because we have a pure source right here that we can look at and just read and see and say, no, that's not a name for God, That's the name of an altar. No, that's not a name for God. That's the name of a city. We just read the context and we see. So some of these names, if they actually happen to get it right, which might have happened about 50% of the time here, it was unnecessary because his name's already translated here, the Lord our righteousness or whatever it is, we've already got the name. The reason they go back to the Hebrew is to try to get you to rework it. They're trying to rework it to put themselves in there to make them feel important. Because, see, now you've got to believe me on what the Hebrew says, and if I'm accurate, you could have just read the Bible in the first place. So, see, it's dangerous. If it actually is true, it wasn't necessary, because the work's already been done. All this Hebrew and Greek stuff, it's a way of running around in circles to try to rework what God already kept in perfection. So there's no reason to redo the work God's already done. We have it here. We have the answers right here. We have what God says right here. And that's why the modern trend of this Greek and Hebrew stuff, you wouldn't find that among someone who actually believes the King James Bible is the perfect preserved word of God. Why? The work's already been done. There's no need to get around that pride and arrogancy. It's just right there. So, got any questions on that? What you got? James 5. James 5. It's on your list. James 5, 4. OK. It says, entered into the ears of the Lord of seven. So is that translated? It says the Lord of Sabaoth or Sabaoth. Let me see. The Lord of hosts. Yeah. The thing is, James was written in Greek. That means he put it, James, the one writing to the Hebrews, Instead of putting it in Greek, he put it in Hebrew so they'd know he is the Lord of Hosts. Yeah, he's writing to the Hebrews. James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ to the 12 tribes which are scattered abroad. So he's writing to them in Greek, but whenever it gets to a name of the Lord, he uses Lord of Hosts, but instead of translating that to You're just saying he used the Hebrew word in his Greek writing? And he didn't use it in the paragraph of Samuel and Caroline? Yeah, so Sabaoth does mean host. And remember, it was just untranslated. But yeah, he reverted it to Hebrew for the Hebrews that he was writing to. He left it in Hebrew. So yeah. Yeah, because he's trying to keep that connection there, even though he's writing in Greek. And he's like, hey, this is the Lord of Hosts.
