Yahweh - The Self-Existing One
by Tai Ikomi Yahweh (yaw-way) The Self-Existing One - "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is YAHWEH, art the most high over all the earth" (Psalms 83:18). The name "Yahweh" is translated LORD (in caps) in the Authorized Version of the Bible. He is the I AM THAT I AM. When Moses asked God what His name was after God gave him the mandate to go and set His people free, He told Moses that His name is I AM THAT I AM. What an awesome name! This name is translated, "Yahweh." This is the only personal name of God given by Himself to the world. It means the Self-existent One. He is sufficient in Himself. Nothing brought Him into existence, nothing can take Him out of it. The name can also mean, HE WILL BE WHO HE WILL BE. This name God gave Moses is written in a tense of endless and timeless existence. Whatever you need Him to be today, He is, in the present. Whatever you need Him to be in the future, He will be, in the future. He is not limited to your present needs, or only to your future needs. He can wipe away the pain of past experiences. HE WAS WHO HE WAS, HE IS WHO HE IS, and HE WILL BE WHO HE WILL BE. This is your God, the God Who is everything you need. This is Yahweh, the Self-Existing One He was, He is, He will be.
