Always Be Ready (ABR) - Christian Apologetics: Defending Your Faith The Names of God - Jehovah-M'Kaddesh Leviticus 20:1-8 The Names of God - Jehovah-M'Kaddesh Leviticus 20:1-8 Over the past several weeks we have been looking at the various ways that God has revealed Himself to us in Scripture indicated by His names. Each name that God uses for Himself reveals to us an aspect of His character that helps us to know Him better. Elohim = God -- Creator, Preserver, Keeper of His Covenant Jehovah = LORD -- holiness (Truth revealer), righteousness, redemption El-Shaddai = Almighty God -- Our all-sufficient supply, Bestower of power, gifts, blessings, and the one who makes us fruitful Adonai = Lord - Our Sovereign God, Owner of all. Tonight we will look at another of His names. Leviticus is the book of life, a book explaining the walk and worship of a people already redeemed. I. A. 1. 2. 3. B. 1. (Genesis 2:3) And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 2. 3. 4. II. A. B. C. III. A. 1. 2. 3.

The Names of God "Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory [is] above the earth and heaven." Psa 148:13 In the Old Testament times, a name was not only identification, but an identity as well. Many times a special meaning was attached to the name. Names had, among other purposes, an explanatory purpose (e.g., Nabal, whose name means "fool," is the target of Abigail's explanation to David: "For as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him:" - 1Sa 25:25). Throughout Scripture God reveals Himself to us through His names. Who is God to you? Is He your Most High God, All sufficient One, Master, Lord of Peace, the Lord Who Will Provide? Hallowed be Your name? To hallow a thing is to make it holy or to set it apart to be exalted as being worthy of absolute devotion. (el shad-di') All-Sufficient One, Lord God Almighty Use in the Bible: In the Old Testament El Shaddai occurs 7 times. Variant spellings: None TWOT Reference: 2333 Strong's Reference: H7706
