A psalm by David.

¹ The earth and everything it contains are Yahweh’s.
    The world and all who live in it are his.
² He laid its foundation on the seas

³ Who may go up Yahweh’s mountain?
    Who may stand in his holy place?
⁴ The one who has clean hands and a pure heart
    and does not long for what is false^[a]
        or lie when he is under oath.
⁵ This person will receive a blessing from Yahweh
    and righteousness from Elohim, his savior.
⁶ This is the person who seeks him,
    who searches for the face of the El of Jacob.^[b] Selah

⁷ Lift your heads, you gates.
    Be lifted, you ancient doors,
    so that the Melek of glory may come in.

⁸ Who is this Melek of glory?
    Yahweh, strong and mighty!
    Yahweh, heroic in battle!

⁹ Lift your heads, you gates.
    Be lifted, you ancient doors,
    so that the Melek of glory may come in.

The following speaks of YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH:

Revelation 19:11-16 Names of God Bible (NOG)

The Great Banquet of GOD

¹¹ I saw heaven standing open. There was a white horse, and its rider is named FAITHFUL and TRUE. With integrity HE judges and wages war. ¹² HIS eyes are flames of fire. On HIS head are many crowns. HE has a name written on HIM, but only HE knows what it is. ¹³ HE wears clothes dipped in blood, and HIS name is the WORD of GOD.

¹⁴ The armies of heaven, wearing pure, white linen, follow him on white horses. ¹⁵ A sharp sword comes out of HIS mouth to defeat the nations. HE will rule them with an iron scepter and tread the winepress of the fierce anger of GOD Almighty. ¹⁶ On HIS clothes and HIS thigh he has a name written: KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS.

Genesis 22 Names of God Bible (NOG)

God Tests Abraham

22 Later Elohim tested Abraham and called to him, “Abraham!”

“Yes, here I am!” he answered.

² Elohim said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I will show you.”

³ Early the next morning Abraham saddled his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut the wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place that Elohim had told him about. ⁴ Two days later Abraham saw the place in the distance. ⁵ Then Abraham said to his servants, “You stay here with the donkey while the boy and I go over there. We’ll worship. After that we’ll come back to you.”

⁶ Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and gave it to his son Isaac. Abraham carried the burning coals and the knife. The two of them went on together.

⁷ Isaac spoke up and said, “Father?”

“Yes, Son?” Abraham answered.

Isaac asked, “We have the burning coals and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

⁸ Abraham answered, “Elohim will provide a lamb for the burnt offering, Son.”

The two of them went on together. ⁹ When they came to the place that Elohim had told him about, Abraham built the altar and arranged the wood on it. Then he tied up his son Isaac and laid him on top of the wood on the altar. ¹⁰ Next, Abraham picked up the knife and took it in his hand to sacrifice his son. ¹¹ But the Messenger of Yahweh called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!”

“Yes?” he answered.

¹² “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear Elohim, because you did not refuse to give me your son, your only son.”

¹³ When Abraham looked around, he saw a ram behind him caught by its horns in a bush. So Abraham took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering in place of his son. ¹⁴ Abraham named that place Yahweh Yireh. It is still said today, “On the mountain of Yahweh it will be provided.”

The Lord’s Seventh Promise to Abraham

¹⁵ Then the Messenger of Yahweh called to Abraham from heaven a second time ¹⁶ and said, “I am taking an oath on my own name, declares Yahweh, that because you have done this and have not refused to give me your son, your only son, ¹⁷ I will certainly bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of their enemies’ cities. ¹⁸ Through your descendant all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.”

¹⁹ Then Abraham returned to his servants, and together they left for Beersheba. Abraham remained in Beersheba.

Abraham Learns of Nahor’s Descendants

²⁰ Later Abraham was told, “Milcah has given birth to these children of your brother Nahor: ²¹ Uz (the firstborn), Buz (his brother), Kemuel (father of Aram), ²² Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel. ²³ Bethuel is the father of Rebekah. Milcah had these eight sons by Abraham’s brother Nahor. ²⁴ Nahor’s concubine,^[a] whose name was Reumah, had the following children: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.”

 

Numbers 29:1-6 Names of God Bible (NOG)

29 The Lord continued, “On the first day of the seventh month you must have a holy assembly. You must not do any regular work. It is a day for the trumpets to sound a fanfare. ² As a burnt offering, a soothing aroma to Yahweh, bring one young bull, one ram, and seven one-year-old lambs that have no defects. ³ Along with them bring grain offerings of flour mixed with olive oil. Bring 24 cups for each bull, 16 cups for each ram, ⁴ and 8 cups for each of the seven lambs. ⁵ Also bring one male goat as an offering for sin to make peace with the Lord. ⁶ Offer these in addition to the monthly burnt offering with its grain offering, and the daily burnt offerings with their proper grain offerings and wine offerings. They are a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to Yahweh.

Jeremiah 31:1-19 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Both Israel and Judah Will Be Rescued

31 “At that time,” declares Yahweh, “I will be the Elohim of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”

² This is what Yahweh says:

The people who survived the wars have found favor in the desert.
    Israel went to find its rest.

³ Yahweh appeared to me in a faraway place and said,

“I love you with an everlasting love.
    So I will continue to show you my kindness.
⁴         Once again I will build you up,
            and you will be rebuilt, my dear people Israel.
        Once again you will take your tambourines,
            and you will go dancing with happy people.
⁵         Once again you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria.
            Those who plant them will enjoy the fruit.
⁶ There will be a day when watchmen on the mountains of Ephraim
    will call out this message:
        ‘Arise! Let’s go to Zion, to Yahweh our Elohim.’”

⁷ This is what Yahweh says:

Sing a happy song about Jacob.
    Sing joyfully for the leader of the nations.
    Shout, sing praise, and say,
    “O Yahweh, rescue your people, the remaining few from Israel.”

⁸ “I will bring them from the land of the north.
    I will gather them from the farthest parts of the earth.
    Blind people and lame people will return
        together with pregnant women and those in labor.
            A large crowd will return here.
⁹ They will cry as they return.
    They will pray as I bring them back.
    I will lead them beside streams
    on a level path where they will not stumble.
        I will be an Ab to Israel,
            and Ephraim will be my firstborn.

¹⁰ “You nations, listen to the word of Yahweh.
    Tell it to the distant islands.
    Say, ‘The one who scattered the people of Israel will gather them
        and watch over them as a shepherd watches over his flock.’
¹¹ Yahweh will free the descendants of Jacob
    and reclaim them from those who are stronger than they are.
¹² They will come and shout for joy on top of Mount Zion.
    They will stream to it to enjoy Yahweh’s blessings:
        fresh grain, new wine, and olive oil, lambs and calves.
    Their lives will be like well-watered gardens,
        and they will never suffer again.
¹³ Then young women will rejoice and dance
    along with young men and old men.
    I will turn their mourning into joy.
    I will comfort them.
    I will give them joy in place of their sorrow.
¹⁴ I will satisfy the priests with rich food.
    My people will be filled with my blessings,” declares Yahweh.

¹⁵ This is what Yahweh says:

A sound is heard in Ramah,
    the sound of crying in bitter grief.
        Rachel is crying for her children.
            She refuses to be comforted,
                because they are dead.

¹⁶ This is what Yahweh says:

Stop your crying, and wipe away your tears.
    You will be rewarded for your work, declares Yahweh.
    You will return from the land of the enemy.
¹⁷ Your future is filled with hope, declares Yahweh.
    Your children will return to their own territory.

¹⁸ “I have certainly heard Ephraim mourn and say,
    ‘You disciplined me, and I was disciplined.
        I was like a young, untrained calf.
    Turn me, and I will be turned,
        because you are Yahweh my Elohim.
¹⁹ After I was turned around, I changed the way I thought and acted.
    After I was taught a lesson, I hung my head in shame.
    I was so ashamed and humiliated,
        because of all the stupid things I have done
            ever since I was young.’

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Comfort about Christians Who Have Died

¹³ Brothers and sisters, we don’t want you to be ignorant about those who have died. We don’t want you to grieve like other people who have no hope. ¹⁴ We believe that Yeshua died and came back to life. We also believe that, through Yeshua, God will bring back those who have died. They will come back with Yeshua. ¹⁵ We are telling you what the Lord taught. We who are still alive when the Lord comes will not go into his kingdom ahead of those who have already died. ¹⁶ The Lord will come from heaven with a command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the dead who believed in Christ will come back to life. ¹⁷ Then, together with them, we who are still alive will be taken in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. In this way we will always be with the Lord. ¹⁸ So then, comfort each other with these words!

 

 

1 Corinthians 15:51-54 Names of God Bible (NOG)

⁵¹ I’m telling you a mystery. Not all of us will die, but we will all be changed. ⁵² It will happen in an instant, in a split second at the sound of the last trumpet. Indeed, that trumpet will sound, and then the dead will come back to life. They will be changed so that they can live forever. ⁵³ This body that decays must be changed into a body that cannot decay. This mortal body must be changed into a body that will live forever. ⁵⁴ When this body that decays is changed into a body that cannot decay, and this mortal body is changed into a body that will live forever, then the teaching of Scripture will come true:
