Knowing God and His Name, Scripture background

===Subsection===
The scriptures promises that God will reveal Himself to His people. In the Old Testament He reveals Himself as the LORD, the ‘I am’.

'''EXODUS 3:13-14'''

13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, [when] I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, '''What [is] his name?''' what shall I say unto them?

14 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 29:46'''

46 And they shall know that I [am] the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I [am] the LORD their God.

'''JEREMIAH 24:7'''

7 And I will give them an heart to know me, that I [am] the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

'''EZEKIEL 28:26'''

26 And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD their God.

'''EZEKIEL 36:23'''

23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I [am] the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

'''EZEKIEL 39:22'''

22 So the house of Israel shall know that I [am] the LORD their God from that day and forward.

'''DANIEL 11:32'''

32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits].

'''PROVING.HIS.WORD_ LA.CA V-18 N-3 MONDAY_ 65-0426'''

185 …. But there will be, to those Who It's sent to, they will understand. "The wise shall know their God in that day, and they'll do exploits." We realize that the hour that we're now living.

41 Now, and He... '''What is His Name first?'''

We'll have to name--find what God's Name is '''before''' we can find '''what it is He's putting in the place.'''

Now, we find out that '''He had many titles'''. He's called the--He was called "Father," which is a title; and He was called "Son," which is a title; He was called "Holy Ghost," which is a title; He's called "Rose of Sharon," which is a title: "Lily of the Valley," a title; "Morning Star," "Jehovah-jireh," "Jehovah-rapha," seven different compound redemptive names, but all of them were titles. None of them were names.

'''But He has a Name.'''

When He met Moses He had not a Name yet, and He told Moses, "I AM THAT I AM." And when we see Jesus on earth, speaking in Hebrews the 6th chapter, I beg your pardon, St. John the 6th chapter, He said, "I AM THAT I AM."

They said, "Why, you're a man not over fifty years old and say that you seen Abraham?"

He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." And I AM was the One--the burning bush--the Pillar of Fire that was in the burning bush back in the days of Moses, the I AM THE I AM.

'''''NOTE:''''' ''God’s chosen place of worship is connected to His Name''

God, defined as ‘Jehovah’ has many titles (link) as Baal has many titles (Link).

However, these titles are not the Name.

'''EXODUS 20:2-3'''

2 I [am] the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

'''''NOTE:''''' ''We are not to have any other God but the ‘I Am’''

'''Dispensational views of the Godhead'''

'''DISCERNING.BODY.OF.LORD_ CHATAUQUA.OH V-2 N-25 WEDNESDAY_ 59-0812'''

12-1 The prophets of the Old Testament, Daniel and the others said, "'''In the last days''' that '''the people that know their God''' shall do exploits."

'''That's a promise.''' When the intellectual looks at the exploits, they'll say, "Oh, that's psychology; it's mental telepathy; it's the working of the devil."

But the Holy Ghost will answer back, "Amen, that's the truth." The right discernment. They promised it. Jesus promised it. Jesus said, "The works that I do shall you do also, even greater than this shall you do, for I go to My Father."
