That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is] JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth. Psalm 83:18

Is JEHOVAH the only name of God?

That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is] JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth.  Psalm 83:18

I have run into several people who take this verse out of context and say that the only real true name for God is JEHOVAH. This is almost funny it is so wrong. Zechariah 12:10 “they shall look upon me whom they have pierced.” has JEHOVAH him self saying “they shall look upon me whom they have pierced”. Clearly this is speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ who was pierced! Revelation 1:7-8 “every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.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.” This puts the icing on the cake when you compare with this passage in Isaiah 44:6 “I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me [there is] no God.” to this passage in Revelation “I am the first and the last:I [am] he that liveth, and was dead;” Revelation 1:17-18 Clearly Jesus is the one who “was dead” and both passages say that Jesus and Jehovah are the first and the last and that there is no other God besides the first and the last. Jesus is God. “Behold, God [is] my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH [is] my strength and [my] song; he also is become my salvation.” Isiah 12:2

I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by [the name of] God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. Exodus 6:3 JEHOVAH, means a self-existent self-sufficient Being, this passage it speaking of them knowing God as even greater than they think. Continued study of the Bible shows that there are many different names for God and clearly Jesus is God.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, [and] there is nothing too hard for thee: Jeremiah 32:17
