Names of God 6

Our Family 2006
Continuing our study of God by knowing His names:
Judge -
Power to hear and decide; position and power to determine worth.
Genesis 18:25 Far be it from you to do such a thing --to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?"

Living God
Joshua 3:10 This is how you will know that the living God is among you and that he will certainly drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites,....

Lord of Hosts
Joshua 5:14 "Neither," he replied, "but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." Then Joshua fell face down to the ground in reverence, and asked him, "What message does my Lord have for his servant?"

Lord of Lords
Deuteronomy 10:17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.

Mekodish - Sanctifier (set apart for God)
Leviticus 20:7,8,26 "'Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the LORD your God. Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the LORD, who makes you holy. You are to be holy to me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own.
"Set apart for God" is seen further in Exodus 19:2-6; 31:12-17; Leviticus 20:7-8,26;Romans 8:2-4; Ephesians 5:25-27; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8; Hebrews 10:10-15; 12:14.
Most High
Deuteronomy 32:8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.

Nissi -
Banner, an altar erected by Moses to commemorate the defeat of the Amalekites; a standard carried at the head of a military band or body, to indicate the line of march or the rallying point (Int. Standard Bible Encyclopedia). Our source of victory, Captain, mighty in battle. We fight under his flag.
Exodus 17:15 Moses built an altar and called it The LORD is my Banner.
2 Corinthians 2:14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.
For further study: Deuteronomy 20:3-4; Isaiah 60:20; John 15:5; Ephesians 6:10; 2 Timothy 4:7; 1 John 1:5; Revelation 22:5
