God doesnt Have a Particular Name. Yahweh : What does this name mean ? Is it an unexplainable word ? No ! The Meaning and Significance In Ex. 3:13-14, Moses asks God, “Whom should I say has sent me?” and God responds by saying, “I AM that I AM… You must say this to the Israelites, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” However, it could be awkward for Moses to go to the Israelites and Pharaoh and say, “I am has sent me.” So, in Ex. 3:15 God revises this phrase and changes it to the third person by saying, “Tell them that ‘He is’ has sent you.” The word “He is” comes from the Hebrew root word haya, which means, “to be.” It is the third person form of this word, “He is,” that becomes the name Yahweh. The significance of the name Yahweh is that it is confirming God’s existence but most importantly His presence. In the context of Ex. 3, God is talking about His presence with Moses and subsequently with Israel. For in Ex. 3:12 Moses says, “Who am I, that I should go?” to which God responds by saying, “Surely I will be with you.” The point is not that He eternally existed (although this is implied) but that He is present with His people. In light of the above, Ex. 3:14-15 could be paraphrased as, “Call Me ‘I am with you’ (I am the ever present helper) because I am indeed the ever present helper. And this is what you should say to the Israelites, ‘He is the ever present helper’ – the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob – has sent me to you.” This Shows How ignorant People Are by Saying : He is Yahweh , No Adonai , No Shaddai , No Eloah , No Allah etc... He Has No Name, ONLY CREATURES like us have names. why do you always want to make God as Us ? Praise be to the almighty One
