NAMES
OF GOD
His glorious NAMES,
designated Titles and divine Office.
The English word: God
is translated from the Hebrew word, Elohim—which is a noun implying more than
One in unity.
One God composed of
more than One divine Person.
The Name Of The Lord
is a strong tower:
the righteous runneth
into it, and is safe.
Proverbs 18:10 KJV
The Lord, The God of Hosts
The Lord God Almighty
For, lo, He that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and
declareth unto man what is His thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and
treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The Lord, The God of hosts, is His
Name.
Amos 4:13 KJV
In the NIV Bible
“The Lord, The God of Hosts” is referred to as “The Lord God Almighty”:
He Who forms the mountains,
creates the wind,
and reveals His thoughts to man,
He Who turns dawn to darkness,
and treads the high places of the earth —
The Lord God Almighty is His Name.
And the CJB refers
to “The Lord God Almighty” as Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot:
Him Who forms mountains and creates wind,
Who declares to humankind His thoughts,
Who turns the morning to darkness
and strides on the heights of the earth —
Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot is His Name.”
THE LORD, THE GOD
OF HOSTS is the One Who formed the mountains, made the winds, and knows the
every thought of man; HE turns the morning to darkness and crushes down the
mountains underneath HIS feet.
HE treads “the high
places of the earth” and HE reveals HIS Divine Will to man.
HE is The Lord God
All-Powerful!
GOD's Purpose in
dealing with man is not for humiliation, but for transformation.
He had by several
tokens intimated to incorrigible Israel His displeasure, with this design, that
they might by repentance make their peace with Him; but it had not that effect.
The natural man is unruly
and unmanageable— several times corrected, but in vain; not yet reclaimed, with
no sign of amendment— sent for by one messenger after another, but has not come
to repentance.
If men had returned
to their GOD, they would have been accepted, He would have bidden them welcome,
and the troubles they were in would have been removed.
The reason why God
sent further troubles to Israel was because former troubles had not done the
work; otherwise it is no pleasure to The LORD GOD Almighty that He should
afflict.
He was grieved at
their obstinacy, and took it unkindly that they should force Him to do that
which He did so unwillingly.
They refused to
return to Him from Whom they had revolted; to Him with Whom they were in Covenant
with.
Man usually turns
away from Him Who stands ready to receive him; people often run away from God
the One Who have so often called.
The Lord of Hosts
is enthroned between the cherubim.
He is the God of
the armies of Israel.
He gives Power and
Grace to His people.
No man can fathom
the Mysteries of God (see Job 11:7).
He punishes wicked
traitors (see Psa. 59:5).
He is the One Who
restores us and makes His face shine upon us, that we may be saved (see Ps
80:7).
"Hallelujah!
For our Lord God
Almighty reigns"(see Rev. 19:6).
