Why Are the Names of God Different in Every Age?

By Qingxin

    It is recorded in the Old Testament, “I, even I, am Jehovah; and beside Me there is no savior” (Isaiah 43:11). “Jehovah … is My name for ever, and this is My memorial to all generations” (Exodus 3:15). It clearly states in the Scriptures that the name of Jehovah is for ever, and yet it says in the New Testament that God’s name changed to Jesus, as it says, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8). Why does God’s name change? What is the mystery behind this?

The purpose of God’s judgment is to encourage man’s obedience;

the purpose of God’s chastisement is to allow for man’s transformation. 

Though God’s work is for His management’s sake, 

none of what He does isn’t good to man. 

God wants the lands beyond Israel to obey as the Israelites did, 

to make them into real men, so that in the lands beyond Israel 

God’s foothold shall be gained. This is the management of God. 

It’s His work in the lands of the Gentiles.
