Now let's continue on by looking at the first Chapter of MatithYAHU (sn- Matthew). It gives the geneology from AbrAHam to the Savior YAHUsha the Mashiach (MessiYAH):

:cloud9: Excellent post, WW. And as I said in a previous post, my first study on the names in there, is what convinced me 23 years ago, that God is in control.
Unless of course, we should choose to believe that the parents of all these individuals just "happened" to name their children names with significance to the acts of their lives that hadn't even happened yet. :mshock: I don't think so. :winkgrin:
Also, the part that is added to those names, is HIS BREATH. Blessings....
Quick one because it's way past bedtime (again)
Hopefully no mistakes because i'm typing this from memory.
halleluyah doesn't mean praise the Lord but Praise (to) Yah.
Yah is short for Yaweh
Transliterated halleluyah is hywllh
Remove the 2 Ls reach from left to right.
(transliterate back to Hebrew)
Read from right to left and..... Yaweh
hywllh is pronounced the same in 4200 languages.

In fact this type of thing
is the major reason I've started digging.
But that said many names changed during the life of the person.
How common where such names at that time?
Even today many names are varitions on a certain 'root name'
/edit

When I read that I get a picture in my head of a path that is 'worn out' (dunno the word)
Not flat but a little depth of frequent use.
Then more than a few have walked that path.
Maybe just a few but all are dragged over it :winkgrin:
QuoteNow let's continue on by looking at the first Chapter of MatithYAHU (sn- Matthew). It gives the geneology from AbrAHam to the Savior YAHUsha the Mashiach (MessiYAH):
Dear brother WhiteWings
I commend you, brother on your extensive research, unfortunately you have missed out on the most obvious name of all; "Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?" God said to Moses,
"I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, '
I AM has sent me to you.' " (Ex.3:13-14).
Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born,
I AM ." (Jn.8:58).

The idea being to reach the Father. So where is the connection other than to divert one's attention and make them fall for Satan's ploy?

Dear Brother WhiteWings
Indeed I do have a clue that's why I'm responding. It is you that is clueless because you do not realize that you are being manipulated by the seed of the evil one within you. It is you that cannot see this fact, I'm only trying to help you see.
With your learning you obviously know the definition of the two words CONCEAL and SEAL. Why don't you try to apply it. "But as for you, Daniel,
conceal these words and
seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase." (Dan.12:4). It is him within that is making you defy Almighty God and leading others reading your very impressive intellectual research to follow suit. That is not good and not of God, but I will accept God knows His own. He is not selecting everyone at the present time only the few. "As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, "My lord, what will be the outcome of these events?" He said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time. "Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand." (Dan.12:8-10). Lead on, brother, you are playing the evil one's corner well, diversion of attention to his presence is what he wants.
QuoteI'm posting this to make people fall for satans ploy? Get your head checked dude...
Thank you for your advice, brother, but my head is squarely set in its correct place, it's yours that I have doubts about. You gave an impressive list of intensively researched names for God as used by men, but failed to mention the name that God Himself commanded He be known by - I AM. Do we believe an impressive multitude of men or do we believe God Himself?
By the way, brother, what is the meaning of dude? I hope you are not swearing at me as that would be naughty. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THERE IS NOTHING PERSONAL IN MY POSTINGS.

The name Mark is Latin (French form is 'Marc') and means "warlike" or "dedicated to Mars." Mars was also known as Aries in the Greek world and was the God of War.

There seems to be a very different meaning of names between the two lists....
:cloud9: His name also means "supplanter" or "heel-catcher".
Interesting thread title.. I thought it was in reference to Hannah Whitall Smith's writing "The God of All Comfort, ch.2 -- What is His name?"
I have a couple of lines from it to share, and since it seems to fit in with the title I'll copy it below:
"In Bible language name always means character. Names are not given arbitrarily there, as with us, but are always given with reference to the character or work of the person named. Creden in his Concordance says that the names of God signify that which He really is, and are used throughout the Bible to express His attributes, and His purposes, His glory, His grace, His mercy, and His love, His wisdom, and power, and goodness. A careful study of His names will make this plain.
When, therefore, the children of Israel asked, What is his name? they meant, Who and what is this God of whom you speak? What is His character; what are His attributes; what does He do? In short, what sort of a being is He?
The psalmist says, They that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. And again he says, The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous runneth into it and is safe. They that know thy name will put their trust in thee. They cannot do anything else, because in knowing His name they know His character and His nature, that He is a God whom it is safe to trust to the uttermost. And there can be no doubt that a large part of the unrest and discomfort in so many Christian hearts comes simply from the fact that they do not yet know His name.
....
"These simple words, I am, express therefore eternity and unchangeableness of existence, which is the very first element necessary in a God who is to be depended upon. No dependence could be placed by any one of us upon a changeable God. He must be the same yesterday, today, and forever, if we are to have any peace or comfort.
But is this all His name implies, simply I am ? I am what?—we ask. What does this I am include?
I believe it includes everything the human heart longs for and needs. This unfinished name of God seems to me like a blank check signed by a rich friend given to us to be filled in with whatever sum we may desire. The whole Bible tells us what it means.
Every attribute of God, every revelation of His character, every proof of His undying love, every declaration of His watchful care, every assertion of His purposes of tender mercy, every manifestation of His loving kindness—all are the filling out of this unfinished I am.
God tells us through all the pages of His Book what He is. I am, He says, all that my people need : I am their strength ; I am their wisdom ; I am their righteousness ; I am their peace ; I am their salvation ; I am their life ; I am their all in all.
This apparently unfinished name, therefore, is the most comforting name the heart of man could devise, because it allows us to add to it, without any limitation, whatever we feel the need of, and even exceeding abundantly beyond all that we can ask or think." -End quote.
Blessings to all,
Brian

oh man, this is so beautiful and so true. Thanks, Brian!
Thanks Molly. I really like Whitall Smith, I discovered her on this website, and most everything I've read of her really touches me. I think that women who are Christians often "see" farther than us men!
Blessings,
Brian
