Vocal Point-Chaplain Richard Sones

Topic: The Covenant Names of God.

A press release notes: “How does God reveal Himself to humanity? What is a covenant and how is one made? Where does the name ‘Jehovah’ (or Yahweh) come from? Why are the ‘Jehovah’ names for God called ‘Covenant Names’? What do these Old Testament names for God have to do with Jesus? What relevance do ancient biblical names carry in our modern world? Richard Sones addresses these important questions and more in his informative and inspirational new book, The Covenant Names of God.” Chaplain Sones says: “Covenant is how God has chosen to reveal himself to us through history…He started with simple and basic covenants. Then, as time went on and our understanding and relationship with God deepened, the covenants became more involved and elaborate.” Chaplain Richard Sones joins Jerry Newcombe on Vocal Point to discuss the “covenant names of God,” which include Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Ropheka, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Mqaddishcem, Jehovah Ro-ih, Jehovah Tsidqenu, and Jehovah Shalom.
