Hello Everyone,

Of all the names of God, Jehovah (or Yahweh, as some say today) is the name most frequently used in the Old Testament.

The name Jehovah is used 6,823 in the Bible. The first time it is used is in Genesis 2:4 where Jehovah is compounded with Elohim.

The name Jehovah comes from the Hebrew that means “to be, to become”.

So Jehovah speaks of God’s being or essence.

When we read the name Jehovah or LORD in capitol letters, in our Bible, we are reminded of One who is totally self-existent.

This is the One that Jesus said in John 5:26: “has life in himself”.

The world says, “Where is God? Who made God? How did God come into existence? All things have to have a cause. Therefore God had to have come into existence at some point in time.”

But the answer to these faithless questions can be found in His very name-Jehovah.

He is the self-existent Creator who made the heavens and the earth.

His name says, “I always have been, I always am, and I always will be.”
