1. Name of the LORD
Name of the LORD is recorded in Bible as given to Moses as I am that I am. Exodus 3:14
In Hebrew it is made of 4 alphabets Yod Hah Vav Hah i.e., transliterated in English as YHVH or YHWH. Some add vowels to this and say JEHOVAH. Some call YaHWeh. In NIV bible the name is translated as "LORD" (all capital)
Meaning of this name is, the one who doesn't change. The one who doesn't age. The one who is not created.
2. Name of our Saviour Jesus
The Name of our Savious Jesus is recorded in Greek New testament as IEOSUS. Hebrew equivalent name if YSHUA. Transliteration -Yah Shu vah
Shu alphabet is inserted in Yah and Vah, Shu means save...
So the one who saves in YHWH is Yshua.
The English name of Jesus is derived from the Greek name IEOSUS
3. Name of the Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit has been called with no name in Bible. He has always been called as "LORD's Spirit", Holy Spirit, or just Spirit. Some earlier translations refer to Holy Ghost. In those era, Ghost is not referred to the evil spirits that is referred now a days. Ghost meant to be invisible being.
Holy spirit has been called as Spirit of Truth, Spirit of correction, etc.,
In this collection of the names, any names may refer to any of the 3 entities of the LORD viz, Father, Son, Holy Spirit. As we believe that LORD has three entities and also is ONE LORD.
Let us explore the names that are given in bible. The names need not follow a strict flow, as these were revealed in my bible study. Hopefully, when I complete this blog, this would be a good record for the people around the world to understand about our LORD and His Names.
