Revelation of the Names of God: Hidden Mysteries of the Bible!

The Names of God: A Supernatural Revelation of His Character

The Bible is not only full of mysteries but hidden within the names in it, especially the names of God, it unfolds a beautiful esoteric story and tells the reader exactly who God is. God is not whatever you want Him to be. God becomes what He becomes by His will. It has become popular in New Age teaching to call Him Source of the Universe or Mother/Father God, but the Bible is very clear on exactly who He is. There is no conspiracy here. The Bible was not written to manipulate and control you. It was carefully preserved, divinely dictated, and breathed by the inspiration of God Almighty.

Throughout Scripture, the names of God are progressive revelations of His nature, attributes, and redemptive plan. From Genesis to Revelation, each name reveals another dimension of His being, culminating in Jesus Christ, who is the express image of the invisible God (Hebrews 1:3).

Conclusion: The Progressive Revelation of God's Name

Each name of God in the Old Testament is like a puzzle piece, each one revealing a greater part of the full picture. From Adonai to Jesus, God did not change but unfolded His nature to humanity in stages. These names are not fragments of different deities. They are expressions of the One True God’s multifaceted glory, finally revealed in Jesus Christ, the Name above all names (Philippians 2:9–11).

To truly know God is to know Him by name, and every name declares His power, presence, and plan for redemption. The mystery is no longer hidden. It is made manifest in the person of Jesus Christ.

"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." — John 17:3 (KJV)
