What is God’s REAL Name?

Almighty God thunders, “How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? Yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; which think to cause My people to forget My name . . . as their fathers have forgotten My name for Baal “Lord”]” (Jeremiah 23:26-27).

God declares in His word, “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved” (Romans 10:13). In Acts 2:21, Peter quotes Joel 2:32, “In the last days everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

But what IS that Name? What is God’s name, in the original
Hebrew language?


Exodus 20:7 says, “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.”

Many Scriptures tell us we should magnify and praise God’s Name. But how can we do it, if we don’t even know it? The name of God appears 6,828 times in the Bible. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has a name by which he wished/wishes to be known. This most holy name of GOD is written in Hebrew by the letters yod hey vav hey.

This four letters name is called the Tetragramaton. But just how is that name to really be pronounced? Does it matter? How important is it that we say God’s Name correctly?

God’s Name Revealed!

Does God reveal His actual name to us? The answer is YES! The evidence has been overlooked, ignored, and is understood by scholars and, theologians and the whole world! We will rediscover the TRUE name of the Almighty God, Creator of the heavens and the earth!

In Acts 2:21, Peter quotes Joel 2:32, “In the last days everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” What is His name, in the original Hebrew language? Exodus 20:7 says, “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not old anyone guiltless who misuses his name.” Many Scriptures tell us we should magnify and praise God’s Name. But how can we do it, if we don’t even know it?

Remember that the name also means essential nature, character, reputation, and authority. The name of our GOD and the titles by which he is known are extremely important and a casual use fails to communicate adequately the greatness, majesty, holiness, and grace of the one to whom we refer.

Moses (Moshe) asked God what he was to say when the people asked, “What is his name?” (Exodus 3:13). “God said to Moshe, Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh [ I am/will be what I am/will be],” and added, “Here is what you are to say to the people of Isra'el: ‘Ehyeh [I am or I will be] has sent me to you’” God said further to Moshe, “Say this to the people of Isra'el: ‘Yud Heh Vav Heh (YEHOVAH), the God of your fathers, the God of Avraham the God of Yitz'chak, and the God of Ya'akov, has sent me to you.’”

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has a name by which he wished/wishes to be known. This most holy name of GOD is written in Hebrew by the letters yod hey vav hey. This is known as the “Tetragrammaton.” These four letters are the me of the Most High God - YEHOVAH!
