VI.The Ministry of God the Father as Revealed in His Names
The part of God revealed to Israel in the Old Testament was primarily God the Father. He figuratively ‘married’ Israel and became her protector, provider, and so on. The Church, on the other hand, is primarily ministered to by God the Son. Just as the Father ‘married’ Israel, the Son is espoused to the Church. We are all part of the bride of Christ in a figurative sense. The Holy Ghost is the part of the Godhead that binds these two groups together, making us all equally the people of God for eternity. As primary minister toIsrael, God the Father’s ministry is well expressed in His seven particular names as follows:

A. Jehovah=“He Is” or “I Am”
Because they considered it blasphemy to mispronounce the name of God, the Jewish scribes of the Old Testament purposely inserted another name wherever the name of God was indicated in the original text. The transliteration of that name in the English is Jehovah, the name we use for the Lord of glory, the great I Am. It indicates that He is the greatest force in existence for all eternity

Whenever you see a reference to GOD or the LORD using all capital letters in your King James Bible, that is an indication that the Hebrew text used the word Jehovah in that verse. It is by far the most frequently used name for God in the Old Testament. However, in some cases the translators saw fit to leave the word in it’s untranslated form so there are several references to God using this version of His Personal, Holy Name.

Exodus 6:3; Psalms 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; 26:4; and as JAH in Psalms 68:4
