God's Real Name

What is God's Real Name

Is Yahweh a word you are familiar with? Or the Tetragrammaton? Few Christians are. That's because both words are related to the subject of God's name, which is not a Christian core doctrine (with a few exceptions noted below).

To the surprise of many Christians hearing it for the first time, God has a personal name in Hebrew. It's four letters long, consisting of the four Hebrew consonants yod-hey-vav-hey or YHVH transliterated to יהוה in English. It is used nearly 7,000 times in the Old Testament by prophets, kings, judges, regular saints and "heroes of faith."

God's personal name has a profound meaning to go with it:

יהוה‎ → "He was, He is, He will be" (Rev 4:8; 1:4,8)

That's because his name comes from the Hebrew root word "to be" (להיות lihyot) (Note: The idea that YHVH comes not from "to be" but from hovah making YHVH translate to "God of ruin, destruction" is wrong as the root analysis shows. Anyone who tells you this or that "Yehovah means 'oh hail destruction'" is only proving they learned Hebrew on Facebook or from the Strong's Concordance Lexicon or Lew White's books.)
