Jesus' New Name?

Revelation 3:12

King James Version

12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

Interesting very, worth pondering before God…

The seven promises of the Lord from the book of Revelation are astonishing to study on their own, my friend. It is best to consider them together as a contiguous whole, which completes the image which scripture imparts to us. Here they are:

The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God. (Revelation 2:7 NASB)

The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death. (Revelation 2:11 NASB)

The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows except the one who receives it. (Revelation 2:17 NASB)

The one who overcomes, and the one who keeps My deeds until the end, I will give him authority over the nations; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are shattered, as I also have received authority from My Father; and I will give him the morning star. The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (Revelation 2:26-29 NASB)

The one who overcomes will be clothed the same way, in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (Revelation 3:5-6 NASB)

The one who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name. The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (Revelation 3:12-13 NASB)

The one who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat with My Father on His throne. The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (Revelation 3:21-22 NASB)

A "name" in the scriptural context means so much more than letters or an identifier, brother. A name imparts authority... power... blessing... and is in effect much like a mantle (clothing) one wears. In this case, we are considering a mantle which the Lord Himself places upon our shoulders. Taken in context with those seven promises of the Lord, then, His name and accordingly the new name He gives to us speaks of the truth that we shall sit upon His throne with Him. In fact, according to the scripture given to us by the apostle Paul, we are already seated with the Lord!  

What this imparts to me is fullness, which we do not walk in at this time. Name = authority/power/blessing/office/raiment.  

I would write more, but work beckons.

Yes. Quite so. This is something I am delving into in my meditations. Lots to unpack here. In a nutshell, we are not passive observers. Heaven is not a holiday. Much work will be done by those who enter. Much work.

While you are pondering, may I suggest you also ponder on what is meant in Revelation 19:11-13

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.  His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.  He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

There is also a name that no one will know but Jesus.

Revelation 19:  16, And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

God as I see God is immutable. The Alpha and Omega. His spirit, essence, unchanging, the same yesterday, today, for eternity. 

In the Old Testament, OT, God was known as "I AM", Jehovah, etc... In the New Testament, NT, God was Emmanuel, "God with us", Yeshuah, Jesus, Christ. 

While God's names changed at different stages of his power and plans in both Testaments Holy Spirit God remained the same. 

 

Maybe in Revelation what he's referring to is his new name after the final plans go through.

Blessings, I find the scripture intriguing, for as you mentioned God is immutable, can’t get more or less always remains the Eternal All.. 

Seeing how He is the Eternal One how can a name be greater than the Eternal love, patience, kindness, fill in the blank.. 

How can His new name be greater still?

I know it’s scripture, so therefore true, will be interesting to find out what it is..

Be blessed in finding out, Not me

One might need to look into what His real name is and what it means first. His real name is Yeshua (which means YeHoVah's (Yah's) Salvation). Once we are in the millennial kingdom His name may change to YeHoVah Has Saved?

[Markie51]

The Bible mentions other names/title for Jesus such as Immanuel and Michael. Compare Isaiah 9:6

But this unstated “name” appears to stand for the descriptive or representative for his new position, privileges and duties that Jesus will indentified during the Lord ’s Day.  Compare Philippians 2:9-10; Revelation 2:17; 19:12.

Note that God changed Abram’s name to Abraham, Sarai’s name to Sarah and Jacob’s name to Israel. (Genesis 17:5, 15; 32:28)  All were for specific characteristics or representative for a grander purpose.
