The God Who Provides (Out of Zion Episode #139)
Transcript
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,680
Well, are you asking God for some need in your life?
2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:12,840
Maybe it's financial or a relationship or healing or a miracle you need?
3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,520
Well, I have good news for you.
4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,040
So welcome to this week's Shabbat Shalom devotional when I seek to share just a little
5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,040
inspiration.
6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,280
We bring a little piece to the close of your very busy week.
7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,760
You know, many of the titles or descriptive names of God we've been talking about are
8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,640
derivatives of the conjunction with the name El for God.
9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:40,000
Elohim, El Shaddai, El Elion, El Olom.
10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,320
But there are another set of titles of God that are based on His name, the name, that
11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,440
tetragrammaton that we don't really know how to pronounce.
12
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:57,760
And in some translations, the name has been translated into English as Jehovah.
13
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,200
I want to explain how that happened.
14
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:08,640
So because the pronunciation of the four letters in the tetragrammaton was lost, it was replaced
15
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,560
by the name of Adonai for Lord.
16
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:21,160
And so at some point the scribes began, they took the consonants of the tetragrammaton.
17
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,200
The fact that they don't have the vowels is why they don't know how to pronounce it.
18
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,600
And they put on top of it the vowels of the name Adonai.
19
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:37,760
And out of that came the word in English as we pronounce it as Jehovah.
20
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,040
Now in Hebrew, the J would be a yeh.
21
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:48,720
But in Greek and in English, it's a J. So we pronounce it as Jehovah.
22
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:54,920
So today I'm going to use that pronunciation of Jehovah in these conjunctive names of God.
23
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,800
The first one is Jehovah Jireh.
24
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,360
Well most of you have probably heard that name.
25
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:08,920
I'll tell you that in Hebrew, Jireh is pronounced yehre.
26
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:15,960
This name for God is only used once in the Bible, but yet many of us have heard it.
27
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,360
Maybe because of a song that made it popular.
28
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,360
But to know that God is our provider, which is what it means.
29
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,280
And it's used, the one time it's used is in Genesis 22, the story where Abraham took
30
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:36,960
Isaac up onto the mountain in order to obey God in offering Isaac as a sacrifice.
31
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:42,600
And God stopped him and he said God will provide.
32
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,920
And God did provide a ram and a thicket.
33
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:51,080
And so he dedicated the altar to the name the Lord will provide.
34
00:02:51,080 --> 00:03:00,520
Now I want to point out that the Hebrew word yehre is actually based on the same Hebrew
35
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,600
root as roi.
36
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:10,320
So the God who sees el roi is the God who provides yehre.
37
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,280
It's the same root word.
38
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:18,760
So the connotation is that God is so close he sees you, but he doesn't just see you and
39
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,020
ignore you.
40
00:03:20,020 --> 00:03:23,440
He sees you and he will provide what you need.
41
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,880
Isn't that beautiful?
42
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,360
Now another name is Jehovah Rafa, the Lord who heals.
43
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,360
We read this in Exodus 1526.
44
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:41,360
Throughout the Old Testament, the concept of healing is used both for physical healing
45
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:47,000
of disease and spiritual healing from the effects of sin.
46
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,120
Because there's an overlap, there's a connection.
47
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:56,480
Sin leads to sickness in the soul which can lead to sickness in the body.
48
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,240
So the word crosses over here.
49
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:08,960
And in Isaiah 53, which it talks about that by his stripes we are healed, healing there
50
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,080
has been interpreted in the New Testament in both ways.
51
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,160
One verse about that it's healing for the body and the other verse in that it is healing
52
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,400
from sin, the God who heals.
53
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:29,800
Then there is Jehovah Mechodesh, or you might pronounce it Mechodesh, but in Hebrew it's
54
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,880
Mechodesh, the Lord who sanctifies.
55
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,840
He makes holy.
56
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:43,480
That makes it clear that he alone, not the law, not our obedience, can cleanse his people
57
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,520
and make them holy.
58
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,480
And then there's Jehovah Shalom, the Lord our peace.
59
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,440
Isn't that beautiful?
60
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,480
Judges 624 uses this.
61
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,680
Now once again the connotation of peace is twofold.
62
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:06,120
We think of peace as a beautiful state of calm and relaxation, which it is.
63
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:14,760
But for God's people in the Old Testament, peace meant peace from war with your enemies.
64
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:21,760
And so he is the God who provides all that you need.
65
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:27,520
He's the God who is provided for your forgiveness from sin and your sanctification.
66
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,560
He provides for your spiritual and physical healing.
67
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,520
Our God is the God of peace.
68
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,440
Whatever you need, just take a little break this weekend and come before him and watch
69
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:46,200
as he heals and transforms your life one step at a time.
70
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,880
And great peace awaits you.
71
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:58,400
And with that I wish you Jehovah Shalom.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,680
Well, are you asking God for some need in your life?
2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:12,840
Maybe it's financial or a relationship or healing or a miracle you need?
3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,520
Well, I have good news for you.
4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,040
So welcome to this week's Shabbat Shalom devotional when I seek to share just a little
5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,040
inspiration.
6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,280
We bring a little piece to the close of your very busy week.
7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,760
You know, many of the titles or descriptive names of God we've been talking about are
8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,640

00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:40,000
Elohim, El Shaddai, El Elion, El Olom.
10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,320
But there are another set of titles of God that are based on His name, the name, that
11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,440
tetragrammaton that we don't really know how to pronounce.
12
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:57,760
And in some translations, the name has been translated into English as Jehovah.
13
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,200
I want to explain how that happened.
14
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:08,640
So because the pronunciation of the four letters in the tetragrammaton was lost, it was replaced
15
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,560

16
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:21,160
And so at some point the scribes began, they took the consonants of the tetragrammaton.
17
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,200
The fact that they don't have the vowels is why they don't know how to pronounce it.
18
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,600
And they put on top of it the vowels of the name Adonai.
19
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:37,760
And out of that came the word in English as we pronounce it as Jehovah.
20
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,040
Now in Hebrew, the J would be a yeh.
21
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:48,720
But in Greek and in English, it's a J. So we pronounce it as Jehovah.
22
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:54,920
So today I'm going to use that pronunciation of Jehovah in these conjunctive names of God.
23
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,800
The first one is Jehovah Jireh.
24
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,360
Well most of you have probably heard that name.
25
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:08,920
I'll tell you that in Hebrew, Jireh is pronounced yehre.
26
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:15,960
This name for God is only used once in the Bible, but yet many of us have heard it.
27
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,360
Maybe because of a song that made it popular.
28
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,360
But to know that God is our provider, which is what it means.
29
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,280
And it's used, the one time it's used is in Genesis 22, the story where Abraham took
30
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:36,960
Isaac up onto the mountain in order to obey God in offering Isaac as a sacrifice.
31
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:42,600
And God stopped him and he said God will provide.
32
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,920
And God did provide a ram and a thicket.
33
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:51,080
And so he dedicated the altar to the name the Lord will provide.
34
00:02:51,080 --> 00:03:00,520
Now I want to point out that the Hebrew word yehre is actually based on the same Hebrew
35
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,600
root as roi.
36
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:10,320
So the God who sees el roi is the God who provides yehre.
37
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,280
It's the same root word.
38
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:18,760
So the connotation is that God is so close he sees you, but he doesn't just see you and
39
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,020
ignore you.
40
00:03:20,020 --> 00:03:23,440
He sees you and he will provide what you need.
41
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,880
Isn't that beautiful?
42
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,360
Now another name is Jehovah Rafa, the Lord who heals.
43
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,360
We read this in Exodus 1526.
44
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:41,360
Throughout the Old Testament, the concept of healing is used both for physical healing
45
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:47,000
of disease and spiritual healing from the effects of sin.
46
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,120
Because there's an overlap, there's a connection.
47
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:56,480
Sin leads to sickness in the soul which can lead to sickness in the body.
48
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,240
So the word crosses over here.
49
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:08,960
And in Isaiah 53, which it talks about that by his stripes we are healed, healing there
50
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,080
has been interpreted in the New Testament in both ways.
51
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,160
One verse about that it's healing for the body and the other verse in that it is healing
52
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,400
from sin, the God who heals.
53
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:29,800
Then there is Jehovah Mechodesh, or you might pronounce it Mechodesh, but in Hebrew it's
54
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,880
Mechodesh, the Lord who sanctifies.
55
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,840
He makes holy.
56
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:43,480
That makes it clear that he alone, not the law, not our obedience, can cleanse his people
57
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,520
and make them holy.
58
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,480
And then there's Jehovah Shalom, the Lord our peace.
59
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,440
Isn't that beautiful?
60
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,480
Judges 624 uses this.
61
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,680
Now once again the connotation of peace is twofold.
62
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:06,120
We think of peace as a beautiful state of calm and relaxation, which it is.
63
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:14,760
But for God's people in the Old Testament, peace meant peace from war with your enemies.
64
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:21,760
And so he is the God who provides all that you need.
65
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:27,520
He's the God who is provided for your forgiveness from sin and your sanctification.
66
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,560
He provides for your spiritual and physical healing.
67
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,520
Our God is the God of peace.
68
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,440
Whatever you need, just take a little break this weekend and come before him and watch
69
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:46,200
as he heals and transforms your life one step at a time.
70
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,880
And great peace awaits you.
71
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:58,400
And with that I wish you Jehovah Shalom.
