Description
Yahweh is the name God chose for Himself; through this sacred name He reveals who He is and what He will do for His people. No other name is as significant as Yahweh, the name God revealed to Moses at the burning bush and which means "I AM WHO I AM." Yet, many centuries ago this name was changed to Jehovah, a hybrid word that has no meaning. English translations also have substituted LORD for Yahweh more than 6,800 times in the Old Testament. Who changed God's name and why?
The word God chose for His name is one that reveals who He is as well as what He wants to mean to us. He is the ever present One who takes the initiative in making Himself known to His people. He promises to be whatever they need in order to become all He wants them to be.
Dr. Jim Harvey examines the original meaning and significance of God's name, and provides insight into the way the name Jesus relates to Yahweh. He explains how discovering the meaning of God's name will enrich our worship of God, as well as encourage us to claim His provisions for all our needs.
