There are actually seven places in the King James Bible where it actually has the name YEHOVAH with the Y changed to a J in the English Bible. In about the 14th. Century, the J was added as a I with a long tail. A long tail was added to differentiate the first I from the second I. When the printing press came along the long-tailed I was made a J and the King James Bible was one of the first books printed on the first printing press.

Exodus Six:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty (El Shaddai), but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them. It is in capital letters because the translation is from YHVH, but here the actual vowels are printed out that goes with the tetragrammaton YHVH (Yod-hay-vav-hay) translated into English-Yehovah.

Psalm Eighty Three:18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.

Isaiah Twelve:2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Isiah Twenty Six:4 Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength.

“And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭6:2-3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“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.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭22:14‬ ‭

Jehovah- jireh “ the lord will provide “


“And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi:
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭17:15‬ ‭

jehovah-nissi “ the lord is my banner “

“Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovah-shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.”
‭‭Judges‬ ‭6:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

jehovah- shalom “ the lord is peace “


Jehovah-Rapha “ the lord heals “

jehovah is part of a description of the attributes of the Lord.

“Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:10-11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Therefore my people shall know my name:( in the future ) therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭52:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:9-11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭6:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:4-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

One name

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭

There is one name in the holy Bible that is the name above all names , the name of the Lord is Jesus. Or if one speaks Hebrew “ yeshua”

Jehovah , I AM , the Lord thy God , the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob

His name the creator of all things is Jesus. The name of God most high

a name which is above every name

think about every time the lord says in the ot “ I am the lord there is none other “

“every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,”

You could go back and out Jesus name there after we hear the revelation of the New Testament


“In the beginning God ( Jesus ) created the heaven and the earth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:15-18‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“Thou art worthy, O Lord, ( Jesus ) to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭4:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Jesus was , and he is , and he will ever be the Lord the Lord is what he is a title but his name has been declared throughout the New Testament when the veil was torn away and men began to see and hear the lord in his gospel

Love that one that’s awesome !! Took some study lol

And thou shalt call his name Jesus

The Great I AM , who now has become and IS everything we need to live forever together with him.

He is the creator in the very first verse of the Bible but you don’t hear his name yet your being taught “ God is the creator and man and beast alike and even the earth and stars and sun and moon were created by Him he is before all things and by him all things exist he is above all principality and rule prince the One true God and creator.

but you don’t hear his name yet , your learning about God. And what He is in relation to us here

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:1, 26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We aren’t being introduced personally to him yet we are seeing here his power and position he’s above us , we came from him he is the creator , we are the created , and stewards of his earthly creation. He is God , we are man

early in the Bible we learn about a mysterious and unknowable God when man asks his name he replies “ I am that I am , tell them the God of thier fathers sent you “

Or just answer with the question “ why are you asking about my name ?” Because his name was always going to be declared to mankind when he was born in the flesh. So really he’s avoiding declaring his name because it’s not time yet for the gospel , but he’s showing them his poster to create his word and it’s irrevocable quality where if he says anything it’s absolute according to what he said

a he shows them a lot through genesis about his kinship and desire to have a friendly and familial relationship with mankind , he shows us a lot about how he created the world for peace , love , kinship between mankind so he ( Jesus ) could dwell among us and walk among us in peace and harmony like a family

But the ot tells us how mankind turned the orher way and corrupted the world with violence , murder , abuse and hate , all the many evils men do to one another in this creation he gave to us to tend and care for to rule in peace and live and harmony justice and truth fairness all the qualities of himself should fill Every corner and void of the earth through mankind but instead we followed a lie and filled it with evil and war and l that comes from sin

My point is even the prophets said things like “ a son will be born of a virgin his name will be Immanuel “

And then we dont actually have all those many names he is called in tbe ot explained until the lord came with the gospel

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1:21, 23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

my point is a prophet foretelling “ his name shall be called “Emmanuel “ doesn’t mean that’s Gods name it’s foretelling what the name Jesus means “ “God is with us “

or this for instance

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This doesn’t mean the sons name is “ wonderful Christ “ or “counsellor christ “ or “ the mighty God , Christ “ or “ the everlasting father Christ “ or “ the prince of peace Christ “

The promised son, the Christ or ( messiah ) his name is Jesus. The prophets are foretelling us who he is

Jesus is the name of the Son , and he is everything the Old Testament promised, the fullness of the God of the ot manifest in the new . he came himself and said here I am and this is may name anyone who comes to me and believes will be saved into my everlasting kingdom then he returned to heaven having made our way to follow him home.

The Jehovah's Witnesses have latched on to the VERY FEW times that YHWH (or YHVH) has been translated as "Jehovah" (only 4 verses, not 7). But they have gone off the rails in everything else.

God has many names and titles in the Bible. But Jesus said that the personal name of God (Himself) is I AM THAT I AM or I AM. See Exodus 3. That is what He called Himself in the New Testament.

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name
under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved.”

‭‭John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭

“Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.”

“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world:

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6-9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

One name of the father and the son and the Holy Ghost

“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭

Father son and holy ghost manifest in the world is Jesus Christ the son of God. It’s why when anyone is baptized after he said that they are baptized into the one name Jesus who is the Christ of Nazareth , or God manifest in the flesh among us

The recognized earthly father of Christian’s, is Abraham . their Heavenly Father is God

“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

…For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:26-27, 29‬ ‭KJV‬‬

because Abraham’s promise was about Christ his seed when we get baptized into Christ we become the hiers of Abraham who makes us the children of God in Christ alone

Exodus 34:14
New American Standard Bible
—for you shall not worship any other god, because the LORD, whose name is
Jealous, is a jealous God—
Nearly every translation has Jealous capitalized, yet most Christians don't live like He is. This is the most overlooked name of God in the Bible. Maybe because it's not "me-centered". :eek:

This means that the Bible tells us not to jealous , but the English version of God is described as a jealous God, so everything that tells us not to jealous is changed to not envy.

Envy is not the same thing as jealous.

I can envy other people's life is good, but I will not jealous other people's life.

This is absolutely a huge translation error in kjv.

Envy is desiring what others have.
Jealousy is to feel threatened, or protective of something you already have. such as a wife.
