The Name of the Lord

[Arphaxad]

Did God have a name in the old testament? or Was it revealed for the first time in Mathew 1:21?

Every single time you see the capital letters LORD in the OT it is actually standing in for the Hebrew letters YHWH. That is his name.

Isn't YHWH an abbreviation for His name because the actual name was considered too sacred to be uttered or spelled out?

The name was spoken for hundreds of years. After the Babylonian exile the idea came in that if you spoke it you might take it in vain.

There is controversy about whether there should be vowels in the name. If you go by the vowel pointing of the Massorite Text it would be spoken as YEHOVAH.

Modern scholarship has pretty much abandoned YEHOVAH and for their reasons believe it should be pronounced YAHWEH.

There is a short version of the name with a vowel also. YAH. For some reason this is not considered controversial but is agreed on by the great majority as being the valid, shortened version.

4: Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. Psalms 68:4

There was no J in Hebrew but rather a letter that sounds like our Y.

The Jewish people use the term ADONAI in place of the sacred name. It is divinely inspired being used some 400 times when speaking of YHWH.

I would say ONE NAME with many variations.

WOW

Are you saying this sarcastically or are you agreeing?

Is Yahweh saves His name? Or is it a variation? Or is His name Yahweh alone?

I said WOW because I agree. Yeshua is a variation of YAH.
