YAHWEH, the Great I AM - the name Yahweh is embedded in your Bible almost 7,000 times, disguised as LORD. Yahweh is spelled Yod-Hey-Waw-Hey (YHWH). When the letters of God's name are put together, the name YHWH declares, "The hand, behold; the nail, behold." The Father's sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, for our salvation is revealed in the very name of Yahweh. Behold the hand, behold the nail. In His name, God is saying - before anything was ever created - look to Jesus

"And God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM,' and He said . 'This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.'" - Exodus 3:14-15

The letters in God's name tell a truly fascinating story.

Everywhere in your Bible you see LORD in all capitals, it is God's personal name, Yahweh, which means I AM WHO I AM. 

The name Yahweh is embedded in your Bible almost 7,000 times, disguised as LORD. 

But there is an even greater revelation within the name of God when it is spelled out in ancient Hebrew pictographs. 

Yahweh is spelled Yod-Hey-Waw-Hey (YHWH). 

In Hebrew pictographs it is ????. (Hebrew is read right to left.)

The pictograph for Yod is a hand suspended in air.

Hey resembles a window, meaning look or behold.

Waw resembles a nail. 

When the letters of God's name are put together, the name YHWH ???? declares, "The hand, behold; the nail, behold!" 

The Father's sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, for our salvation is revealed in the very name of Yahweh!

Behold the hand, behold the nail! 

In His name, God is saying - before anything was ever created - look to Jesus!

Thank You for Salvation!

"I am who I am" - this is a poetic expression of God's very nature. The statement carries a sense of necessity, simplicity, and absolute-ness. God identifies Himself as the self-existent One — eternal, unique, uncreated God. He is the ultimate truth, the only necessary being, the beginning and end, the first cause. God will also identify Himself using the term YHWH, a Hebrew word which was considered so holy that it was not spoken aloud. Jesus will later use the name "I AM" in reference to Himself

YHWH - the tetragrammaton - contrary to what some believe, Jehovah is not the Divine Name revealed to Israel. The name Jehovah is a product of mixing different words and different alphabets of different languages. Due to a fear of accidentally taking God’s name in vain, the Jews basically quit saying it out loud altogether. Instead, when reading Scripture aloud, the Jews substituted the tetragrammaton YHWH with the word Adonai (“Lord”)

Jesus the Great I AM - Jesus was equating Himself with the "I AM" title God gave Himself in Exodus 3:14. Such a statement, if not true, was blasphemy and the punishment prescribed by the Mosaic Law was death. Jesus committed no blasphemy; He was and is God, the second Person of the Godhead, equal to the Father in every way. Jesus used the same phrase “I AM” in seven declarations about Himself. He combines I AM with tremendous metaphors which express His saving relationship toward the world
