Names of God, Part 6 (with more details)

Jehovah Nissi (The Lord Is My Banner)

Occurs only once in Exodus 17:15 “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” Jehovah is actually YHWH and means Lord and Master. It is the promised and proper name of God. Nissi means flag or banner so together Jehovah Nissi means The Lord Is My Banner. God himself is our banner and victory. He gives us hope and a focus and is the one who wins our battles.

El Qanna (Jealous God)

First seen in Exodus 20:5 – Used 6 times in the Bible.

El is likely related to the word Elohim and is used in conjunction with other descriptive words to specifically reference a particular characteristic of God. Qanna means jealous, zealous, or envy. Used together El Qanna means Jealous God. God’s jealousy is a holy, loving jealousy without any of the insecure manipulation or control that comes packaged with worldly jealousy. It draws from the marriage relationship with a picture of a husband jealous for his wife. God longs for each of us to put him first in our lives in priority and importance, not out of ego, but because he knows that is truly what is best for us.

Jehovah Mekoddishkem (The Lord Who Sanctifies You)

First seen in Exodus 31:13 (Only other occurrence is in Leviticus 20:8)

Jehovah is actually YHWH and means Lord and Master. It is the promised and proper name of God. Mekoddishkem means holy or set apart. It is the process of sanctification, which is the separation of something so that it is holy. Used together Jehovah Mekoddishkem (can have the variant spelling Jehovah M’Kaddesh) means The Lord Who Sanctifies You. God sets us apart as his children when we become believers. He sanctifies us and makes us holy because we are incapable of it on our own.

Jehovah Shalom (The Lord Is Peace)

Occurs only once in Judges 6:24

Jehovah is actually YHWH and means Lord and Master. It is the promised and proper name of God. Shalom means peace, the absence of strife, complete, or sound. Used together Jehovah Shalom means The Lord Is Peace. When it seems like the whole world is against you or that you are completely unable to deal with whatever problem is in front of you, turn to the God of peace to find comfort and strength.
