7 Powerful Bible Names of God with Meaning

JEHOVAH JIREH – The Lord Will Provide

JEHOVAH JIREH is specifically speaking about salvation for in Genesis 22, God provided a ram to be sacrificed after the Angel of the Lord stopped the knife in Abraham’s hand from killing Isaac. This was prophetic too because the Lord God would provide the Perfect and Supreme Sacrifice of the Lamb of God in Jesus Christ. At the same spot where Abraham was willing to sacrifice his own son is the same place that God did sacrifice His One and Only Unique Son, Jesus Christ. That place was where Calvary was! It is not ironic but intentional. The Lord provided for us Jesus Christ so that we could be restored to a right relationship with God that our sin had caused us to be separated. Genesis 22:14 is literally translated in the Hebrew to read “And Abraham called the place ‘The-Lord-Will-Provide’[JEHOVAH JIREH] as it is said to this day, In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” The “shall be” is prophetic and points to Christ Jesus thousands of years later and in that same spot where the Father would provide for us Jesus Christ Who gave His own life willingly just as Abraham was willing to give the life of Isaac. This is why this is one of the most powerful names of God that He gives us.
