Yahweh’s Name is important. It draws a sharp distinction between Him and every god created by men, and it identifies Him as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It also distinguishes between Him and any human being called lord. Yahweh is not a god or a lord. He is the One true God and the Lord and Master of all creation.

“For here we are not afraid to follow the truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it.” (Thomas Jefferson)

Video: The Aaronic Blessing—This is a beautiful video rendition of The Aaronic Blessing (Numbers 6: 24-26) in Hebrew and English, but notice that the title Adonai is used instead of the Name Yahweh. That is in keeping with a Jewish tradition that dates back to the mid-second century B.C., but you can be certain about this fact. Yahweh’s Name is essential to The Aaronic Blessing and should be there.

Scripture:

Today I’ll show where Yahweh’s Name belongs in 1 Corinthians 4:

1 Corinthians 4

Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy.
But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself.
For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is Yahweh.
Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until Yahweh comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s praise will come to him from God.
Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other.
For who regards you as superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
You are already filled, you have already become rich, you have become kings without us; and indeed, I wish that you had become kings so that we also might reign with you.
For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.
We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are prudent in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honor.
To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless;
and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure;
when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.
I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me.
For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in Yahweh, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.
Now some have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.
But I will come to you soon, if Yahweh wills, and I shall find out, not the words of those who are arrogant but their power.
For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power.
What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

Yahweh Meets Moses on Mount Sinai

Exodus 3: 2 says that the Angel of Yahweh appeared to Moses as a blaze of fire in a bush that was not consumed, and Exodus 3: 4 says that the Angel of Yahweh is Yahweh. Keep this fact in mind because the Angel of Yahweh is the personification and manifestation of Yahweh. Today, we refer to Him as the Messiah.

Moses turned aside to take a close look at the bush. He could have simply looked at it from a distance in amazement, or he could have run away from it since it was such an unusual, and possibly frightening, sight. Instead, he walked right up to the bush, and he got so close to it that Yahweh stopped him and told him to take off his shoes because he was walking on holy ground. (Exodus 3: 4-5) The ground was holy because of Yahweh’s presence.

Yahweh called out to Moses from the burning bush and said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” (Exodus 3: 6)

When he realized who was talking to him, Moses hid his face because he was afraid to gaze at Yahweh. Moses’ mother had probably taught him about God’s awesome power and about His absolute purity. He knew that compared to Yahweh he was a filthy wretch.

Yahweh told Moses that He was sending him as His emissary to the Children of Israel and to Pharaoh. He also told Moses that He would deliver the Israelites from bondage in Egypt personally and take them to the land He promised to give Abraham and his descendants.

At first Moses was reluctant to assume this responsibility perhaps because he had tried to help his Hebrew relatives 40 years earlier, and they had asked Him, “Who made you a prince or a judge over us?” (Exodus 2: 14) When they asked him this question, Moses did not know how to respond.

In all likelihood, Yahweh had been working in Moses’ life at that point, and he understood what he was supposed to do. However, he did not understand the details. He did not know who was giving him the job or when he was supposed to do it. Forty years later on Mount Sinai speaking from a burning bush, Yahweh told Moses about the role he would play in the redemption of the Children of Israel.

Yahweh Gives Moses His Orders and Reveals His Name

God ordered Moses to return to Egypt and tell the Children of Israel, “Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.” (Exodus 3: 15)

Once the Children of Israel knew who had sent him, Yahweh assured Moses they would respond positively to his message. Then He said, “…this (Yahweh) is My Name forever, the Name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.” (Exodus 3: 15 in the New International Version )

The first command Yahweh gave Moses was to tell the Children of Israel His Name. Obviously, He never intended for us to forget it because forever means “without end.” God certainly did not want us to conceal His Name in the Scriptures by substituting the titles “LORD” and “GOD” in its place. People did that on their own initiative, and as I said before, Satan must have inspired them to do it.

At that moment, Yahweh could have instructed Moses to tell the Children of Israel not to say His Name, and if saying His Name had been a problem, He would have. He must have known how they would respond when they learned that Moses had come in His Name and that Yahweh was going to rescue them. His Name was about to spread through their community faster than a brush fire in the desert.

Yahweh’s Name is important. It draws a sharp distinction between Him and every god created by men, and it identifies Him as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It also distinguishes between Him and any human being called lord. Yahweh is not a god or a lord. He is the One true God and the Lord and Master of all creation.
