God has no shortage of names--He is called by almost different ones in the Bible. But one of these names stands alone, and that name is Yahweh. It appears in every book but Esther, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Songs. As the sacred, personal name of Israel's God, it was eventually spoken aloud only by priests worshiping in the Jerusalem temple.
After the destruction of the temple in A. Adonay was substituted for Yahweh whenever it appeared in the biblical text. Because of this, the correct pronunciation of this name was eventually lost. We know God because of what he has done. When you pray to Yahweh, remember that he is the same God who draws near to save you from the tyranny of sin just as he saved his people from tyrannical slavery in Egypt.
In this story, God is speaking to Moses through the burning bush and giving him the mission to end all missions: freeing the Israelite people from Egyptian captivity. Understandably, Moses has some concerns, the main one being how he will convince his fellow Israelites that this really is a mission from and blessed by God. Names were very, very important at that time. And Moses knew that.
That simple fact can be a little offensive to our human nature — that part of us that wants to be significant; to be needed. He is completely whole within himself, and he is eternal — he has always existed, and he always will. He is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega. And he is the only one in existence who can be described this way.
The rest of us need quite a lot to go right in order to keep existing! The most powerful human on earth is still at the mercy of his health and fortune. A great example of this is Psalm The author talks in the first 6 verses about Elohim another name for God and his relationship with the material world. Then, in verse 7, he shifts and starts to write about Yahweh and his relationship with those who know him and who are in covenant with him.
This is a God who was so love-motivated to know us and to be in relationship with us that he came to earth as a human and took the punishment we deserved.
It is probably a core part of your belief system. But those of us who have the least qualms with a God who exists can start to forget the beauty and significance of the fact that God is here. Yahweh is here, interacting with our world, among us. And he does that out of love. God is under no obligation to remain close to us, working in our lives and writing a love story between himself and the world.
And yet, he chooses to do so. In fact, he chooses to build his very kingdom among believers:. But our God does not conform to any of this. He remains constant through it all.
