Names of God in Holy Scripture
Doctrine by
Andrew John Jukes
Elohim, Jehovah, El Shaddai, El Elyon, Adonai, El Olam—are you familiar with these words? All of these are names that pertain to God. But what’s the need for such variation if it is all refers to Him?
Jukes explores the original Hebrew and Greek text to reveal things about God that English translations missed in this book. He illustrates that we can know God better through the various names associated with Him. He emphasized that God wants us to know Him, but our mere intellect cannot open what those names contain. Only those with faith, humility, love, and patience amidst the uncertainties will be led to a full knowledge of who He is. May our meditation on the meaning of His names serve as a guide to know Him more so that we can reflect His image.
