Today's Christian lesson continues the names of God. This lesson assumes that the reader knows that the Trinity (Father, Son - Jesus 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. Once we are done, we will examine the many names of Jesus.
The fifth name we will discuss is Yahweh Shammah or Jehovah Shammah which literally means "The Lord’s abiding Presence is there" and appears in several places in the Bible, one of which is:
"The circumference of the city shall be 18,000 cubits. And the name of the city from that time on shall be, The LORD Is There.”
Ezekiel 48:35
