h) Jehovah Rohi (1) Jehovah Rohi
(rōhē) means the “LORD my
Shepherd.” (2) Psalm 23,
which has been beloved by so many, is a psalm that teaches us that the Lord
is Jehovah Rohi (Psa 23:1). (3) The Lord is called the Shepherd of Israel
(Ps 80:1). (4) In Eze
34:11-12, the Lord will be like a Shepherd who seeks out His sheep. (5) Christ is
called the Shepherd in the prophets (Zec 13:7 cf. Mt 26:31). (6) Christ is
the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep and knows and seeks
His sheep (Jn 10:11, 14, 16) i) Jehovah Ropha (1) Jehovah Ropha
means the “LORD your Healer” (Ex 15:26). (2) The Lord
will gather His people and heal them in the future kingdom (Is 30:26). (3) Through
Christ’s death on the cross believers have been healed spiritually (Is 53:5). (4) Christ is
the Great Physician healing man’s most dire need (sin) (Mk 2:17). j) Jehovah Sali (1) Jehovah Sali (Salē) means the “LORD my Rock.” (2) As Jehovah
Sali, the Lord is a refuge, a deliverer, a
fortress, and salvation (Ps 18:2; 144:1 cf. Ps 94:22). (3) Even
rocks eventually erode, but the Lord is an everlasting Rock (Is 26:4). k) Jehovah Shammah (1) Jehovah Shammah
means the “Lord is there.” (2) He
assured Israel that even though His glory had departed; His presence and
glory would return (Eze 48:35). l) Jehovah Moshiekh (1) Jehovah Moshiekh means “The LORD your
Savior.” (2) It is
found in Is 49:26 and Is 60:16 (%[eêyviAm) ‘hw"hy> - pronounced
“Yahweh Mōshēāk) and comes from the root h['v'Am
mōshayah which means to
save or deliver with saving acts (cf. Ps 68:20). (3) The
salvation which God accomplishes reveals his universal reign (cf. Isa 33:22).
His kingdom over the entire world allows him to work salvation for whomever
he wills. Further deeds of salvation destroy the purposes of the forces of
evil….Thus every victory moves toward the final salvation for all of his
people. God's ability to give salvation provides the basis for man to worship
him; i.e. only a god who can save is worthy of worship. Therefore a frequent
polemic against idolatry is to challenge the other gods to bring deliverance
to their oppressed followers (Isa 46:7; Jud 6:31-32). TWOT (4) There are other compound names of Jehovah
that include the meaning of salvation: (a) Jehovah Hoshiah (Ps 20:9) - O LORD Save (b) Jehovah
Keren-Yishi (Ps 18:2) - The LORD the Horn of My Salvation (c) Jehovah
Elohay Yeshuathi (Ps 88:1) - LORD GOD of My Salvation. (i) El
Yeshuati - The God of My Salvation (Is 12:2 cf. Tit 2:13; 3:4; Mt 1:21) (ii) Elohay Yishi - God Of My Salvation (Ps
18:46, 25:5) (5) God even calls the name of the walls of the
New Jerusalem; “salvation” (Is 60:18). (6) The
Hebrew translation of Jesus is Yehoshua and
means, “Yahweh saves” (cf. Mt 1:21). Jesus is “Jehovah Moshiekh.” m) Jehovah Melech Olam (Ps 10:16) - The LORD King Forever n) Jehovah Kanna Shemo (Ex 34:14) - The
LORD Whose Name Is Jealous o) Jehovah Goelekh (Is 49:26; 60:16) - The LORD your Redeemer p) Jehovah Hashopet (Jdg 11:27) - The LORD the Judge q) Jehovah Bore (Is 40:28) - The LORD Creator r) Jehovah Izuz Gibbor (Ps 24:8) - The Lord Strong and Mighty s) Jehovah Gibbbor
Milchamah (Ps 24:8) - The LORD Mighty In Battle t) Jehovah Machsi
(Ps 91:9) - The LORD My Refuge u) Jehovah Tsuri
(Ps 19:14) - O LORD My Rock v) Adoniah Jehovah
(Ge 15:2) - Lord GOD w) Jehovah Eloah
(Ps 40:5) - O LORD my God x) El Elohim Jehovah (Jos 22:22) The Mighty One, God, the LORD 3. Knowing and Addressing the various names
of God a) ...where
the name of God is not known, he himself cannot be known; and the rather the
consideration of his name, or names, is worthy of regard, because they serve
to lead into some knowledge of his nature and perfections. (Gill) b) The names of God employed in prayer in
holy Scripture are always significant. Holy men of old were not so
poverty-stricken in language as always to address God under one name, nor
were they so careless as to speak with him under such a title as might first
come to hand; but in their approaches to the Most High they carefully
regarded that attribute of the divine nature from which they expected the
blessing which they desired. If they needed that their enemies should be
overthrown they pleaded with the arm of his strength; if they were wrongfully
entreated, they prayed to the God of righteousness; if they needed pardon for
their sins, they pleaded with the God of mercy; and such names as Jehovah,
Elohim, Shaddai, are not used indiscriminately in the prayers of the saints
of old, but always with selection and judgment. (Spurgeon) |
