I always wonder what mine is. Does he name us like those in the OT or maybe the NT? What's your thoughts on it if you have any? I haven't seen any clues in the bible, have you?

Are you referring to the 17th verse of the second chapter of Revelation? "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like God has named you since the beginning. Something like that or maybe as simply as God has named you. I doubt that my worldly name is what is in the Lambs Book of Life:O) But then I am not a scholar in the word. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that my worldly name is what is in the Lambs Book of Life:O) But then I am not a scholar in the word. That passage from Revelation isn't the only example wherein the Lord gives a new name to one He loves. Consider Jacob, the son of Isaac: our God honors him by calling Himself the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. There's more, of course. Reference the 32nd chapter of Genesis, verses 24 through 32, where Jacob wrestles with the Lord all night long until the break of day. It's an amazing chapter to prayerfully read! The Lord injured Jacob's hip (he walked with a limp thereafter) but Jacob refused to let go until God gave him His blessing. This is where God gave Jacob a new name: Israel.

I guess you haven't wondered what name God has given you. That's okay, I will just keep wondering until I find out first hand.:O) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not certain this is what the Lord is referring to... but I found it a powerful witness to Jewish people specifically which Israel is the suffering servant (Isaiah 52:12-53:12). The rebs are delighted that I agree the suffering servant is Israel. Until I show them which Israel is being referred to. Israel: Yish Sarar Elohiym = he prince god And the ultimate Prince of God is the Messiah! Isaiah 49:3 (AV) 3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
