JESUS CHRIST YESHUA MY LORD MY SAVIOR MY KING HAS BEEN GIVEN THE FAMILY NAME!!!

WE ARE WITNESSES OF JESUS CHRIST...

ROMANS 10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.
11 It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between get lost and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord (YESHUA) (JESUS CHRIST) will be saved.”


Here is how I finally came to understand the subject for myself.


(John 17:26) And I have (((made your name known))) to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them."


Now think back to Moses.


(Exodus 6:3) . . .And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Yahweh I did not make myself known to them.


Was God known by his name before this statement to Moses?


YES!!!


This could not mean that the name Yahweh was unknown to these patriarchs, since it was frequently used by them as well as by others before them... they had not had opportunity to appreciate the full meaning and implications of his personal name...


With this thought in mind, how can Jesus' words at John 17:26 make sense, especially since the Divine Name does not appear at all (with the exception of hallelujah) in the Christian Greek Scriptures?


Think too of the famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus' most extensive recorded teaching event. Nowhere on this occasion does he teach others to use the Divine Name or does he use it himself.


Look back a little in John chapter 17 ....


(John 17:11) . . .Holy Father, watch over them on account of (((your own name which you have given me)))

Philippians 2:9-11... Therefore God has highly exalted him and (((bestowed on him the name that is above every name))), so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.


What is "your own name which you have given me"?


The Father gave the Son the name...


(Matthew 1:21) She will give birth to a son, and you must call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."


And what does that name mean?


(Je′sus) [Lat. form of the Gr. I·e·sous′, which corresponds to the Heb. Ye·shu′a? or Yehoh·shu′a? and means "Yahweh Is Salvation"


The Son made known God's name (John 17:26) by providing meaning to the name, just as the name was defined through Moses and the acts of deliverance from Egypt, so too the Son gave meaning to God as "Yahweh is Salvation" ... Jesus.


God's name IS made known through the name Jesus! The divine name, while not appearing anywhere in the Greek Scriptures as Yahweh, is in actuality throughout the text as "Yahweh is Salvation" (Jesus). By preaching the name Jesus, God is not relegated secondary to the Son, that is the Name the Father gave, his own name.


Now other texts that seemed problematic take on a whole new meaning and make sense. We preach THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST (((YAHWEH IS SALVATION)))
