Do You Know The Meaning Of The Hebrew Word Yahweh

By Etta Bowen


God is known by many names. People from all over the world know him by several different names. In the Holy Bible alone, God is known by a number of names. These names help people to identify with God and his teachings in a much easier way. The Hebrews for example know God by the name Yahweh. This name can be further translated in several meanings according to the culture.

To begin with, the Hebrew name helps you learn that God has not beginning and has no end. Many people and especially children bother their parents a lot by asking them where God came from. The best response that parents would give to such questions is that nobody made God. In short, parents make their children understand that God has no end but that he is the creator and former of all things.

The word is also used to mean that, God is independent. This means that, he is solely dependent on himself and not in any other source of power whether in heaven or on the earth. Everything came to existence just because he wanted and he can still fade the earth at will. His judgment is final and therefore, he does not depend on anybody else for consultation.

The Hebrew name also suggests that everything else that is not God has to totally depend on him. This includes human beings and plants that live in any part of the universe. In fact, nothing would be without his support or willingness to allow it to exist. This by itself shows that every other creature is bound to seek help from God since he owns powers and abilities that make success and progress for humans.

God is consistent in his being. He does not keep changing like a chameleon. He is the same since the beginning and will always be the same. This is the reason why he is a dependable God. People can be able to learn from him. They can be able to depend on his mercy and his word. He is always ready to protect his children.

Equally important, you need to know that the name also suggests that God performs what is right for the good of those who trust in him and in his son Jesus Christ. God is righteous and those people who are called by his name will inherit the kingdom of heaven. It is therefore important for every Christian to be a true follower of Jesus Christ so as to get the eternal gift of life.

From this name you would learn that truth and goodness is his lovely shield. He would always follow what is truth to maintain justice among the people of all tribes and races. He would never compromise in what if false to make anyone happy. If anything, falsehood and lies are what he hates most.

Lastly, for you to know more about this Hebrew word, you need to invest in Christian books that explain the different meaning of the word. You also need to be a consistent bible reader so that you can learn the Christian doctrines that you need to observe.
