1 The Name of the Lord is a Strong Tower “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” Proverbs 18:10 To the Hebrew mind, and in Biblical terminology, a name is more than just an identifying title for a person. A name carried with it the essence of a person - the character, reputation, (specifically, reputation by inheritance) authority, worth, ownership, and many other attributes descriptive of the person and all that the person represents. The descriptive or summational character of the name is evident in Scripture. The list is long. I mention just a few just to illustrate the point. Abram's name was changed from Abram, which meant: "exalted father", to Abraham meaning: "father of a multitude" when he became a friend of God by faith, and founder of the nation of Israel through the covenant God made with him. Jacob means: "heel holder" or "supplanter" and was the son of Isaac, grandson of Abraham, and father of the 12 patriarchs of the tribes of Israel, and the name certainly was fitting in his part in the plan of God for Israel's beginnings, as he had to carry the birthright in order to fulfill his destiny of leadership in the line of the Messiah to come. God changed his name to "Israel" meaning "God prevails” and he had power with God and prevailed. (Genesis 32:28) Saul had his name changed to Paul after he had his encounter with our Lord Jesus. Saul was the Jewish name of the Apostle, meaning literally, "desired." It actually fits him before his conversion, doesn't it? He was certainly zealous and desired to do everything with a passion and determination to stamp out what he believed to be heresy, as we see in the records of his persecution of the church. He was desirous to pursue the legalistic letter of the law in his religious fervor. Paul, his Greek name, means "small or little." I believe this speaks volumes about the significance of his name. After he was chosen to become probably the most famous and esteemed apostle of them all, he constantly, like John the Baptist, esteemed himself as the chiefest of sinners and of no repute when compared to our Savior. In his writing, he consistently lifts Jesus up and plays down his own importance. His name, being changed from a Jewish name to a Greek name also shows his calling, as he was highly instrumental and played a singularly important part in the Gospel being preached to the Gentiles from then on. Even the demons have names with significant meanings as in the case of 'Legion' in Mark 5:9. When asked for a name, the response was, "Legion, for we are many." Names of people in the Old Testament culture had more meaning to them than personal names have for us in our culture. To the people of God – Israel – personal names generally expressed some personal characteristic, some incident connected with birth, some hope, desire, or wish of the parents. In the New Testament names also were of a more distinctive nature than they are today. Names in the New Testament times, at least among the Biblical Jews, represented certain aspects of the person. For example, "Jesus" is the English translation of the Greek word "Iesous" which is the equivalent of the Hebrew "Joshua" (Jehoshua) meaning: "Jehovah (is) salvation."

The Name of the Lord is a Strong Tower

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”

Proverbs 18:10

To the Hebrew mind, and in Biblical terminology, a name is more than just an identifying title for a person. A name carried with it the essence of a person - the character, reputation, (specifically, reputation by inheritance) authority, worth, ownership, and many other attributes descriptive of the person and all that the person represents.

The descriptive or summational character of the name is evident in Scripture. The list is long. I mention just a few just to illustrate the point.

• Abram's name was changed from Abram, which meant: "exalted father", to Abraham meaning: "father of a multitude" when he became a friend of God by faith, and founder of the nation of Israel through the covenant God made with him.

• Jacob means: "heel holder" or "supplanter" and was the son of Isaac, grandson of Abraham, and father of the 12 patriarchs of the tribes of Israel, and the name certainly was fitting in his part in the plan of God for Israel's beginnings, as he had to carry the birthright in order to fulfill his destiny of leadership in the line of the Messiah to come. God changed his name to "Israel" meaning "God prevails” and he had power with God and prevailed. (Genesis 32:28)

• Saul had his name changed to Paul after he had his encounter with our Lord Jesus. Saul was the Jewish name of the Apostle, meaning literally, "desired." It actually fits him before his conversion, doesn't it? He was certainly zealous and desired to do everything with a passion and determination to stamp out what he believed to be heresy, as we see in the records of his persecution of the church. He was desirous to pursue the legalistic letter of the law in his religious fervor. Paul, his Greek name, means "small or little." I believe this speaks volumes about the significance of his name. After he was chosen to become probably the most famous and esteemed apostle of them all, he constantly, like John the Baptist, esteemed himself as the chiefest of sinners and of no repute when compared to our Savior. In his writing, he consistently lifts Jesus up and plays down his own importance. His name, being changed from a Jewish name to a Greek name also shows his calling, as he was highly instrumental and played a singularly important part in the Gospel being preached to the Gentiles from then on.

Thus, "she shall bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins" (Mat 1:21).

Personal names given at birth were sometimes changed later in life for various reasons. Some names of people were changed by God to indicate what God was going to do with or through that person:

• Abram's name ("exalted father") was changed to Abraham ("father of many") because God was going to make him a father of many nations (Gen 17:5)

• Sarai's name ("Jah is Prince") was changed to Sarah ("princess") because God was going to make her a mother of nations and kings of peoples would come from her (Gen 17:15-16)

• Jacob's name ("supplanter" or heel catcher) was changed to Israel ("ruling with God" or "contender or soldier or prince of God") after he struggled with the angel (Gen 32:28)

• Princes had their names changed on their accession to the throne (2Kgs 23:34, 24:17 • In the New Testament names were also changed during one's life time for various

reasons. For example, Simon's name was changed to Peter and Saul's name was changed to Paul

A name of a single person or quality can also refer to a whole nation or all those with that single quality:

• Israel, the individual, or Israel, the nation • Christ, the individual, or Christ, the whole Body of Spiritual people in Christ's Spirit (see

New Mind Papers). • Seed, the individual (Christ), or Seed in the sense of all those in the true Seed (see "Seed

Paper" [PR 1]). • God's Spirit, as individually distinctive versus other kinds of spirit, or any to all Spirits of

the same nature as God's. • Satan, as the individual, or any to all the spirits or angels of the same nature as Satan's. • Beast, the individual, or the system of the Beast

So, we see that having a name is a precious thing. Names are a personal connection, a unique part of us. They do, in many ways, reveal who we are. What is more, to know someone’s name is a very important part of growing in greater intimacy with that person. In the same way as our names have significance so does the name of God. It is important to know God by name. He has told us His name as a sign of His trust and desire for us to grow in an ever deepening relationship of intimacy with Him. In the Scriptures, the changing of a person’s name denoted a change of character. Therefore, for God’s name to be unchanging is a statement of His unchanging character; His attributes; and His nature. What is more, the shear number of names by which He has revealed His unchanging character shows that He is without measure in His glory and splendor. It is wise therefore, to make it a priority in our lives to learn the names of God.

We can gain great encouragement through an exploration of God’s nature and character by contemplating His name. As you are uplifted in meditating on His glorious name I would urge you to take that very opportunity to worship Him and in doing so, to experience His love and

strength. Meditating on the name of God can be an awesome experience in the depths of His love for you.
