Yahweh is the name God chose for Himself; through this sacred name He reveals who He is and what He will do for His people. No other name is as significant as Yahweh, the name God revealed to Moses at the burning bush and which means "I AM WHO I AM." Yet, many centuries ago this name was changed to Jehovah, a hybrid word that has no meaning. English translations also have substituted LORD for Yahwehmore than 6,800 times in the Old Testament.Who changed God's name and why? The word God chose for His name is one that reveals who He is as well as what He wants to mean to us. He is the ever present One who takes the initiative in making Himself known to His people. He promises to be whatever they need in order to become all He wants them to be. Dr. Jim Harvey examines the original meaning and significance of God's name, and provides insight into the way the name Jesus relates to Yahweh. He explains how discovering the meaning of God's name will enrich our worship of God, as well as encourage us to claim His provisions for all our needs.	One name above all names makes the greatest difference in our lives. Yahweh is God's name. A name God chose to reveal for the first time to His servant Moses at a burning bush in the Sinai desert. The sacred name Yahweh means "I AM." Through His name God reveals Himself as the One who meets every human need. He is saying to every person, "I AM whatever you need to become all I want you to be." The name Yahweh occurs over 6,800 times in the Old Testament. Many of these occurrences are combinations of "Yahweh" with other terms, revealing specific ways in which God reaches out to make a difference in His people. In What a Difference a Name Makes, author Jim Harvey guides readers to understand and make personal application of these special combination names. Further insights are offered by discovering that the name Jesus in Hebrew is Yeshua, a name that means "Yahweh is salvation." One interesting chapter of this book is devoted to a study of the claims Jesus made regarding Himself as "I AM the Bread of Life," "I AM the Light of the World," "I AM the Alpha and the Omega," and many others. Val Harvey provides a helpful Study Guide with each of the thirteen chapters of the book. Bible students who are interested in individual or group study settings will find these guides of practical value in gaining more understanding of God's nature and His purpose for us.
