What Do We Call GOD

 What Do We Call GOD?

The Name of GOD is unknown! We have many names that we call Him by: GOD, YHWH (Yahwah), El, Elohim, Elyon, El Shaddai, Jehovah, Adonai, LORD, Emmanuel, Yeshua, Jesus, Christ, Messiah, Savior, Ruach ha-Kodesh, Holy Spirit, Spirit of GOD, Heavenly Father, Son of GOD, Son of Man, etc. But none of these are His Name!

Revelation 19:12 says that no one knows JESUS’ Name.

The closest we have is YHWH, GOD’s Hebrew Name without any vowels, maybe also some consonants (who knows). I believe GOD’s Name, The One He told to Adam was known until the time of Moses, because of the third commandment (Exodus 20:7) the Hebrew people; maybe the last group of people who knew GOD’s Name; stopped using it. When Moses asked Him, “Who should I say sent me?” GOD answered “I AM WHO I AM…say I AM sent me”. It is not really His Name, it is a statement of Who He Is, like all the names we use to call Him. I AM, is His statement that He Is The One Who has always been and will always be. All the names listed above and all the ones not listed are just descriptions of Who GOD Is.

Here is an example: President Trump; is his title and name by which we call him, we also call him Mister (Mr.) President. President is his title, mister is because he is a man and Trump because that is his name, his full name is Donald J. Trump, but his title is Mr. President. Donald is the name his parents gave him, he could (as many have) changed his name, but he didn’t. Yet, Donald J Trump is not the name that GOD has given him, Revelation 2:17 says that those who overcome will receive a new name from GOD that no one knows.

So what do we call GOD? Any of the descriptive names that He has revealed to us in The Bible. He is GOD, The One Who has always existed and will always exist. He is The One Who created everything that exists (Genesis 1; Psalm 89:11-12; Proverbs 8; John 1:1-5; Romans 11:33-36; Revelation 4:11, 21:1-2).
