Hebrew Names

[Christina]

Names in the Bible have meaning especially the Hebrew names unlike our English Names they most always mean something God uses the meaning of some of these Names as teaching tools for those who are wanting to see the deeper things of Gods teaching for example God changed Abram's name to Abraham why did he do this because Abraham means something different Gen 17:5 the new Promise to Abraham was sealed in this new name he was to become the father of many nationsAbram = "exalted father"Abraham = "father of a multitude" or "chief of multitude"There are examples of God changing someones name to depict a message or new message or naming someone from the Womb because of the meaning of their name does anyone know of any of these examples they want to share.Or just the meanings of Some of the Hebrew Names its a good learning exercise

Hosea is a great example of how God tells a story through names Hosea 1:6 "And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, "Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away."Hosea and Gomer have a second child, a daughter, and God told Hosea to call her name "Lo-ruhamah": which means "not compassionated", or "not beloved". This is why Paul in Romans 9:25 used the expression "not having obtained mercy, with respect to the "House of Israel"The "house of Israel", on Israel (not Jews) were utterly dismantled, as any remembrance of being God's people. They were so scattered they forgot who they were.Hosea 1:7 "But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, not by horsemen."Verse seven is not a "Inserting of new material" into the subject but rather a clarification that God is going to handle and treat Israel, and Judah separately from now on. Israel, God is going to divorce, while Judah He is not. Israel, and Judah are dealt with separately from now on. God will have "No mercy" (Lo-ruhamah) on Israel; while He will show mercy of Judah, even through Judah's captivity in Babylon. "By the Lord their God", is a commitment of Jehovah to Judah.Hosea 1:8 "Now when she weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.Hosea 1:9 "Then said God, "Call his name Lo-ammi" for ye are not My People, I will not be your God.""Lo-Ammi" in Hebrew means "Not my people." Remember this chapter, as the book, is a symbolic gesture, using Hosea's family as a reminder of what God is going to do, and latter did, to the House of Israel" (not the Jews).In the Hebrew text, God told Israel, "I am not (I am) to you." I am is God's eternal name. God disclaims any ownership of Israel."Lo-Ammi" is Hosea's third child, and through these three children, God has sent His message to Israel; "Jezreel" means, God will cease their Kingdom, "Lo-Ruhamah" means , God will not have compassion on their people; and "Lo-Ammi" means, you are not my people.

Hosea contiues to teach us through names into the next chapterNotice the change with next verse's on the surface this can be confusing God has just divorced the Jews and then he goes on to reaffirm his promise to Abraham to make him the father of many nations Its because we have a change here God has just seperated Judah(Jews) and Israel (the ten tribes) We now switch to the future watch the names change in chapter 2 Hosea 1:10 "Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured not numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, We are not My People," there it shall be said unto them, "Ye are the sons of the living GOD."This verse is directed to the latter days; The generation we are in now. It is talking only of the "House of Israel" (Children of Israel) and not Judah.Hosea 1: 11 "Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel."This "Day of Jezreel" is also called , the "Day of the LORD". It is the day that Israel will be restored with Judah as one people. We know this has not happened yet, but at the seventh trump, when our Lord Jesus Christ returns, this joining will take place. This is what Romans 11:14-16 is all about , the restoring of Israel.Hosea 2:1 "Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah."In the Latter days, we do greet our Friends and neighbors in God's name, and call ourselves Christians. "Ammi" means , His (God's ) people.When we see our sister nation's of Israel, we do take compassion (Ruhamah) on them. We wish them "God's speed" when departing, and pray God's blessing upon them."In the future it will come to pass that Lo-Ammi -Not my people becomes Ammi -My People(Gods People)LO-Ruhamah-No compassion becomes Ruhamah-to have compassionEze. describes this coming together of the tribes of Judha(Jews) and Israel (those scattered Christians)as the joining of two sticksHow amazing God reaffirms this story told other places in scripture through Names here in this book of Hosea
