Exodus 3; 13-15 "13 Nevertheless, Moses said to the [true] God:
?Suppose I am now come to the sons of Israel and I do say to them,
?The God of YOUR forefathers has sent me to YOU,? and they do say to
me, ?What is his name?? What shall I say to them?? 14 At this God said
to Moses: ?I SHALL PROVE TO BE WHAT I SHALL PROVE TO BE.? And he
added: ?This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ?I SHALL
PROVE TO BE has sent me to YOU.?? 15 Then God said once more to Moses:
?This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ?Jehovah the God
of YOUR forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God
of Jacob, has sent me to YOU.? This is my name to time indefinite, and
this is the memorial of me to generation after generation.
Exodus 6;. 3 And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God
Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known
to them".
Psalm 83;18 That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah,
You alone are the Most High over all the earth".
NAME
A word or phrase that constitutes a distinctive designation of a
person, place, animal, plant, or other object. ?Name? can mean a
person?s reputation or the person himself.
?Every family in heaven and on earth owes its name? to Jehovah God.
(Eph 3:14, 15) He established the first human family and permitted
Adam and Eve to have children. Therefore, the earthly lines of descent
owe their name to him. He is also the Father of his heavenly family.
And just as he calls all the countless stars by their names (Ps
147:4), he undoubtedly gave names to the angels.?Jg 13:18.
