“How could any word of man be more powerful than a Name of God?”

“Alamo-Girl “got it”...”

Perhaps Isaiah didn’t get it either.

Isa. 57:15, “For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy;”

Ex. 3:14 “Yahweh” in ancient Hebrew is a causative in the third person that has been shortened in biblical Hebrew. In its original form it reads “Yahweh asher yihweh”, “He causes to be what comes into Existence”.

Fascinating. That is where this sidebar began around post 405!

Isa. 57:15, “For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy;”

Isaiah 57:15 underscores God's Names Alpha and Omega.

We might discern those Names of God as first cause and final cause of "all that there is."

And God's Name is I AM.

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. – Exodus 3:14

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. – John 8:58

As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground. – John 18:6

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. – Revelation 1:8

Alpha and Omega is another perspective of the Name I AM much like the perspective of Scripture changes from Genesis 1-3 where God is the observer to Genesis 4 when Adamic man, now banished to mortality, is the observer.

To God be the glory, not man, never man.

lol.

Isaiah called God by the name of either Holy or Randy. (They were very close.)
