Exodus 3:15 - Exposition

The Lord God . In the original Jehovah elohey —"Jehovah, God of your fathers," etc. The name is clearly an equivalent of the " I AM " in the preceding versa The exact mode of its formation from the old root hava , "to be," is still disputed among the best Hebraists. This is my name for ever . Henceforth there will be no change—this will be my most appropriate name so long as the world endures—"The Existent"—"The Alone Existent"—"He that is, and was, and is to come" ( Revelation 1:4 , Revelation 1:8 ; Revelation 4:8 ; Revelation 11:17 ; Revelation 16:5 ). My memorial. The name whereby I am to be spoken of.
