What a profound statement I have made, “God has a new name”! Really, it is not my statement, it is God’s statement. How does God have a new name? Take a look at the following verse and see what God says.

Rev 3:12
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.

When and how did God get a new name? What is his new name? Throughout the Old Testament God had many names and titles but what about this New Testament era that we live in?

This new name I will prove to you is “Jesus”. Jesus is not a title of God. Jesus is the one name that carries the fullness of God in it. All that God is is found in Jesus. Jesus is not in the Godhead but the Godhead is in Jesus. All the attributes of God are found in that all wonderful name of Jesus!

I am sure you have noticed if you looked up this verse in the Bible that it is written in red ink. Why, because Jesus is speaking. Jesus is the one with a new name. What name did he have before? His primary name in the Old Testament was Jehovah.
 
The next verse is a prophecy of when Jesus would come in flesh to save his people from their sins. The prophets only knew of Jehovah God as being God and he says that there shall be one LORD and his name shall be one. His name shall not be three (father, Son & Holy Spirit) as the Trinitarians teach but one. Many that believe that God is a trinity will say that Father, Son and Holy Ghost are three names of God.

Zech 14:9
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

How can anyone look at the previous verse and say that God has more than one name? We must somehow agree that God is making a bold claim to have one name in these last days. If it doesn’t matter as some will quickly say or say that I am making something out of nothing, than why did God say it? It is his word, not mine.

Acts 4:12
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

What name is Acts 4:12 referring to, Father, Son, Holy Ghost or Jesus? What is the one name that mankind can only be saved by? What is the only name that you can call upon and be saved? Is Acts 4:12 referring to Jesus or Father, Son & Holy Ghost? Is the name referred to in this verse found in Matthew 28:19 (Father, Son & Holy Ghost) or is it found in Acts 4:10 (Jesus)?

The name Jesus is above every name! Father, Son and Holy Ghost are titles and not names. No knee will bow to these titles. No tongue will confess to these titles! If you disagree with me and say that they are names, you must agree and say that the name Jesus is above even these three names / titles!

Jesus is the one name of the one LORD found in Zech 14:9. Look below at verse eleven and you will see that Jesus is the one LORD.

Phil 2:9-11
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Yes, Jesus is the one LORD of the Old Testament that gave himself a new name. When was this name given? It was given at the birth of Jesus!

Matt 1:21
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

In the next verse you will notice that a name is referred to but not mentioned. This new name at the time of Isaiah the prophet was yet a secret. God had not revealed this new name to the world. Even the prophet did not know what it was but had a great revelation of what this name would encompass.

Earlier I had written that the Godhead is in Jesus. By this I mean that Jesus is fully God. Jesus is the Father, Son and Holy Ghost in one person.

Isa 9:6
6 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, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

In the previous verse Isaiah brings out the awesomeness of this yet secret name. Isaiah boldly claims that this name of Jesus would reveal him as being The Mighty God and the Everlasting Father. Everyone agrees that Jesus is wonderful but can you agree that he is the Mighty God and the Everlasting Father? How long is Jesus the father? He is the Father, Everlasting. From the beginning and to the end! What kind of God is Jesus? He is the Mighty God!

Col 2:9
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

In the previous verse you can plainly see that all of God is in Jesus Christ. Jesus is not part God. He is not one third God. He is Jehovah God manifest in the flesh! See the verse below.

1 Tim 3:16
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

God changed his own name from Jehovah to Jesus. Jesus means, “Jehovah has become salvation”.
