Who is Yahweh?

Shalom.

Thanks for coming back. Being that this is our first week of study, I think it would be appropriate and wise if we started with the most simplest of questions because most or many of us may not be aware of who or what YHWH is.

So I ask, Who is YAHWEH?

I would have been unable to answer this question a few years back. It wasn't until slightly after living for a quarter of a century that I had become introduced to the name Yahweh. Sadly, I don't believe that that was by coincidence either. From the moment we are born into this world we become fed and raised up by the world. We slowly become products of our environment and lose touch with He that is in us. Isn't it ironic that we can lose that which lives right 'inside' of us? The trick of the enemy is just that though, it is his duty to keep you from knowing who your God is. If you don't know what to call Him; how can you call upon Him?

This week's study verses comes from Exodus 3:13-15 which reads:

And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.


Study, meditate and pray. I'll see you back here in a few days to get the answer to this week's question and to open up the floor for any comments and questions as they portray to the question and verses above.

Be well.
