Compound Names of God Principle

Compound Names of God Principle

            By understanding the compound names of God in the Old Testament we can gain a better understanding of the nature of God and what He is to us.  This is a small minor principle, but can be useful while reading Scripture and how it can apply to our individual lives.  The Lord's names are an insight into His personality.
1.      Jehovah-Jireh:  This name means that “The Lord will provide.”  It can be found in Genesis 22:14, where Abraham names the place where he built an alter to sacrifice his son, Isaac.   The Lord provided a ram for sacrifice instead.  It was fulfilled by Jesus Christ, on the Cross where by His sacrifice sin was dealt with, as we read in Hebrews 10:10-12.
2.      Jehovah-Rapha:  This name means “The Lord that heals.” It can be found in Exodus 15:26. This is the first mention of the blessings of obedience found in Deut. 7:12-15 and 28.   It was fulfilled by Jesus Christ before the Cross, as told in 1 Peter 2:24, “...by whose stripes ye were healed.”
3.      Jehovah-Nissi:  This name means “The Lord our banner or victory.”  It can be found in Exodus 17:15. It was fulfilled by Jesus Christ in 1 Corinthians 15:57, “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
4.      Jehovah-M'Kaddesh:  This name means “The Lord that sanctifies.”  It can be found in Exodus 31:13. It was fulfilled by Jesus Christ at the Cross as seen in Hebrews 10:10, “By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”
5.      Jehovah-Shalom:  This name means “The Lord our peace.”  It can be found in Judges 6:24. It was fulfilled by Jesus Christ in John 16:33, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace...”
6.      Jehovah-Saboath:  This name means “The Lord of Hosts or warfare, or Almighty.”  It can be found in 1 Samuel 1:3. It was fulfilled by Jesus Christ in James 5:4-7, “...are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth...”
7.      Jehovah-Elyon:  This name means “The Lord most high.”  It can be found in Psalm 7:17. It was fulfilled in Luke 1:32, 76, 78 “He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest...”
8.      Jehovah-Raah:  This name means “The Lord my shepherd.”  It can be found in Psalm 23:1. It was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, whom is our Chief Shepherd as seen in 1 Peter 5:4; John 10:11. “And when the chief Shepherd shall appear...”  “I am the good shepherd...”
9.      Jehovah-Hoseenu:  This name means “The Lord our maker.”  It can be found in Psalm 95:6. It was fulfilled at creation as revealed to John the Apostle in John 1:3. “All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.”
10.  Jehovah-Tsidkenu:  This name means “The Lord our righteousness.”  It can be found in Jeremiah 23:6. It was fulfilled by Jesus Christ as revealed in 1 Corinthians 1:30.  “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.”

11.  Jehovah-Shammah:  This name means “The Lord is present.”  It can be found in Ezekiel 48:35. It is fulfilled in Jesus Christ by His own testimony in Matthew 28:20. “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.  Amen.”
