Primary Redemptive Names of God
The Primary Redemptive Names of God
By Paul Keith Davis
Psalms 23 contains eight redemptive names of Jehovah:
1) Jehovah Rohi - "Jehovah is my shepherd...." (Psalms 23:1)
Thus the Lord is the feeder to provide for us, keeper to protect us, companion to cheer us, friend to help us, pastor to comfort us, and herdsman near to us, as His frequent revelations prove.
2) Jehovah Jireh - "I shall not want." (Psalms 23:1)
The Lord Will Provide (Genesis 22:14) - As Elohim, God demanded the sacrifice of Isaac, but as Jehovah He made complete provision of a substitute for the son Abraham willingly offered. The place of this miracle is important. It is the first recorded instance in scripture of the naming of a place after a divine interposition or manifestation.
3) Jehovah Shalom - The Lord is my peace. (Psalms 23:2) "He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters."
The word "Peace", and words directly related to it, appear over 400 times in scripture. It is one of the most precious and fundamentally essential ingredients for a believer to be at peace with God and know the peace of God. It relates to a harmonious relationship obtained through reconciliation of a debt paid in full. Peace or "Shalom" is often translated--welfare, good health, prosperity, favor, rest whole, finished, restitution or repay and perfect.
4) Jehovah Rophi - The Lord, my healer. (Psalms 23:3) "He restores my soul."
The Lord Our Physician (Exodus 15:26) "I am Jehovah thy healer"
He healed all of our diseases, spiritual as well as physical. (Psalms 103:3)
He also heals the broken in heart (Psalms 147:3),
and for those who are backsliding, He is their healer as well (Jeremiah 3:22).
The scriptures also clearly indicate the removal of bodily infirmity (Genesis 20:17; Matthew 4:23).
5) Jehovah Tsidkenu - The Lord is righteousness. (Psalms 23:3) "He leadeth me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake."
The Lord Our Righteousness (Jeremiah 33:16)
To the glory of the gospel, is that Jehovah Tsidkenu became flesh and was made unto us righteousness. (1 Corinthians 1:30)
6) Jehovah Nissi - The Lord is my banner. (Psalms 23:5) "He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
"The Lord Our Banner (Exodus 17:15-16)
Jehovah Nissi in literal Hebrew means "A hand upon the throne of Jehovah".
7) Jehovah M'Kaddesh - The Lord my sanctifier. (Psalms 23:5) "He anoints my head with oil.
"The Lord Who Sanctifies (Exodus 31:13) "I am Jehovah M'Kaddesh - The Lord who sanctifies you".- moral and spiritual purity
The term holiness is from the Hebrew word "Kodesh" and is allied to "sanctify". It is translated as dedicate, consecrate, hallow, and holy in various translations.
In the New Testament, many scriptures relate to the process of sanctification, the sum of which are provided to the church through the atoning work of Christ:
SANCTIFIED By Truth (John 15:3; 17:17)
SANCTIFIED By the Blood (Hebrews 13:12)
SANCTIFIED By Faith (Acts 26:18)
SANCTIFIED By Prayer (I Timothy 4:5)
8) Jehovah Shammah - The Lord is there. (Psalms 23:4) "...thou art with me."
(Ezekiel 48:35) The name of the city revealed through Ezekiel is Jehovah Shammah - the Lord is There.
9) Jehovah Tsebahoth - The Lord of Hosts (I Samuel 1:3)
This reference for Jehovah appears 14 times in the book of Haggai and 24 times in the book of Malachi. In Zechariah, the Lord of Hosts occurs 53 times.
When Joshua asked the question, "are you for us or against us"; the reply came, "I am Prince of the Host of Jehovah", therefore Joshua humbly surrendered his sword to Jehovah Tsebahoth.
The whole of His creation is under His control and obeys His sovereign command, willingly or otherwise. He is:
o Lord of all angelic hosts (I Kings 22:19)
o The Lord of all steller things (Genesis 1:16)
o The Lord of all the feathered hosts (I Kings 17:2-7)
o The Lord of all the animal hosts (Isaiah 11:6)
o The Lord of all the human hosts (Isaiah 40:15)
o The Lord of the satanic hosts (Matthew 28:18)
Jehovah Heleyon - The Lord Most High
This title reveals God as the high and lofty one that inhabits eternity (Isaiah 57:15). It is prophetically speaking of Jehovah's reign over the earth at the time of Israel's restoration or the restoration of God's chosen people.
Jehovah-Makkeh - The Lord Who Smites (Ezekiel 7:9) "You shall know that I am Jehovah-Makkeh", the Lord who smites thee.
According to Hosea 6:1-2 “ For He has torn us but He will heal us; He has wounded us but He will bandage us. He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, that we may live before Him."
Jehovah Gmolah - The God of Recompense (Jeremiah 51:6)
In Jeremiah 51, the Lord declares that He will severely punish Babylon because of their harsh dealing with Israel, thereby revealing Himself as the God of retribution.
Retribution and recompense belong only to him. Vengeance is His, and He promised to repay (Deuteronomy 32:35; 2 Thessalonians 1:8).
