GOD OF ALL TIMES

WHO IS THIS GOD OF all times? The self-existed, sovereign God who is:

•  Yahweh – The I am that I am (Exod 3, 4)

•  Jehovah Jireh – The Lord, our Provider (Gen 22)

•  Jehovah Rapha  – The Lord who heals (Exod. 15)

•  Jehovah Nissi – The Lord, our Banner (Exod 17)

•  Jehovah Misqabbi – The Lord, our Strong Tower (Psa 18)

•  Jehovah Bara – The Lord, our Creator (Isa 40)

•  Jehovah Shammah – The Lord who is present (Ezek 48)
