The Jehovah titles

“The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation.” Psalm 118:14
The Hebrew name of God, Jehovah (or Yahweh), conveys the sense of God being Him who was, who is, and who is to come; God dwelling in the present tense, meaning that all things which are (in the present) and will be (in the future), are to Him as if they have already happened. God is unfathomable: for all of eternity we will be discovering more and more about Him. We cannot know God completely – nor can the angels, which is why they are continually praising Him (Rev. 4:8). The name Jehovah carries the sense of God ‘becoming’ to us – becoming what we need, in every situation.
There are nine so-called ‘Jehovah titles’ of God, as follows (taken from Appendix 4 of E. W. Bullinger’s Companion Bible):
1. Jehovah-Jireh = Jehovah will see, or provide
2. Jehovah-Ropheka = Jehovah will heal
3. Jehovah-Nissi = Jehovah my banner
4. Jehovah-Mekaddishkem = Jehovah who sanctifies
5. Jehovah-Shalom = Jehovah sends peace
6. Jehovah-Zeba’oth = Jehovah of hosts (heavenly armies)
7. Jehovah-Zidkenu = Jehovah our righteousness
8. Jehovah-Shammah = Jehovah is there
9. Jehovah-‘Elyon = Jehovah my shepherd
Whatever you need God to ‘become’ for you today, just ask Him!
