Names of God Pt 1

TEXT: Exodus 3:14-15, 4:1-5, 10-15
PSALM 34:1-2
The name Yahweh occurs more than 6,200 times in the Old Testament. It is the personal name of God. 
It appears in every book but Esther, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Songs.
As time went on, it spoken aloud only by priests worshiping in the Jerusalem temple. 
After the destruction of the temple in AD 70, the name was not pronounced at all. 
Adonay was substituted for Yahweh whenever it appeared in the biblical text. 
Because of this, the correct pronunciation of this name was eventually lost. 
English editions of the Bible usually translate Adonay as “Lord” and Yahweh as“LORD.” Yahweh is the name that is most closely linked to God’s redeeming acts in the history of his chosen people. 
YHWH - (no vowels) - in Hebrew this word means, “He will be.”
When Moses asked God His name, God responded, “I Am Who I Am.”
God does not change, He simply IS.
Yahweh was too sacred to say out loud.
They replaced it in your Bible with “LORD”
Adon is a Hebrew word that means “lord” in the sense of an owner, master, or superior. 
It is frequently used as a term of respect and always refers to people. Adonay (a-do-NAI) is the plural form of adon and always refers to God as Lord or Master. 
In the Old Testament it is rendered as “Lord” (distinct from “LORD,” the rendering for the Hebrew name Yahweh). 
Psalm 9:10 - He is a relational being Who wants us to know Him and He wants know us.
He is enough. 
Jesus is Lord of lords - Revelation 19:16
He is all we need. 
He is enough.
