Today's Christian lesson continues the names of God. This lesson assumes that the reader knows that the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) are a part of the triune Godhead and that the Father (God) has many names including Jehovah, Yahweh and God among them. The characteristics of God are on full display in the Hebrew language, and we will discuss these names of God over the next few weeks. Each name of God describes one of His characteristics.
The fourth name we will discuss is Yahweh Nissi or Jehovah Nissi which literally means "The LORD your banner" and appears in several places in the Bible, one of which is:
"Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this in a book as a memorial and recite it to Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” Moses built an altar and named it The Lord is My Banner; and he said, “The Lord has sworn; the Lord will have war against Amalek from generation to generation.”
Exodus 17:14-16
