This is the second article regarding the Names of God. In our previous article we highlighted eight key names of God in the Old Testament, but there are actually, twenty major names, with a further eleven being less prominent. If you haven’t read part one, click here…

A study of the compound redemptive names of Jehovah in the Old Testament unfolds the glories of our covenant-al and redemptive God. Each of these names, relative to man’s needs find their ultimate fulfillment in the New Testament. It is divinely suitable that the redemptive names of God find their consummation in the Redeemer Himself (Jesus). For a complete list of the names and titles of Jesus Christ, click here…

Each time God revealed His name, He gave us a promise to stand on. Take the time to look them up in the Bible for yourself and read the passage in context. That way you will feel more confident in God’s ability to intervene on your behalf, no matter what situation you might be struggling with. Jesus is bigger than any problem you have…He’s got you covered!

The 20 Major Names Of God In The Old Testament

YAHWEH or Jehovah אֶהְיֶה The Redemptive Name of God (I AM that I AM, I will be, who I will be) – Exodus 3:14-16 & 6:2-3. His eternal name, for us to remember for all generations. God reveals Himself to Moses, as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is a covenant keeping God who keeps His promises today. Every subsequent name begins with YAWHEH.
Jehovah Elohim אֶהְיֶה אֱֱלֹהִים? (The Lord, our Creator) Genesis 2:4 – Creator of the heavens, earth, angelic realm and mankind. All things were created by and through Him. Though angels and mankind were later corrupted by sin, they were not created that way. Angels were witness to the earth’s creation and shouted for joy upon its completion (Job 38:7). Sin has negatively impacted all facets of creation; even the earth groans for redemption as we yearn for our glorified bodies (Rom 8:20).
Jehovah El Elyon אֶהְיֶה אֵל (The Lord, the Most-High, Owner) Genesis 14:22 – Abram swears before the King of Sodom, that the most-High God has given him the ability to gain wealth and then bargains for his allies to be granted the spoils of war. Abram is quick to Honor God for his exploits and give Him the glory of victory. Abram knew the importance of giving God the glory and was strong in faith because of it (Rom 4:20).
Jehovah Adonia אֶהְיֶה אֲדֹנָי (The Lord, the Master) Genesis 15:2 – The Lord spoke to Abram in a vision, promising to protect and reward Him. In response, Abram replies ‘sovereign Lord’ (Adonai). For those in Christ, He is our Lord and Master. He watches over us in His divine providence and showers us with His many blessings. Many have made Jesus’ savior but not everyone has made him lord.
Jehovah El Olam אֶהְיֶה עֹלָם (The Lord, the Everlasting) Genesis 21:33 – Abram makes a covenant with Abimelech, dedicating his loyalty to him and his country. After swearing an oath and worshipping to the ‘eternal God,’ Abram offers seven lambs and a well, sealing his part of the covenant.
Jehovah Jireh יְהוָֹה יִרְאֶה (The Lord, the Provider) Genesis 22:14 – This name commemorates the provision of the ram in place of Isaac for Abraham’s sacrifice. The Lord is our provider, He will provide for you. You need to trust Him for your provision. You can rest assured as you sow seed and tithe your income, God will provide for you. Just as Abraham was willing to sacrifice, He sees your sacrifice and will honor it. You cannot reap a harvest, unless you’ve sown seed. Seed, time and harvest will never cease.
Jehovah Rapha אֶהְיֶה יְהוָֹה (The Lord, the Healer) Exodus 15:26 – appears when Israel is assured that God, their healer, will prevent the diseases of Egypt from affecting Israel. Although the name is only
