Bible Questions & Discussion PAGE 879

I haven't seen you before. I hope you'll keep coming back.

God has His watchman on the walls. When a lot of them speak the same things it gets exciting. It's an encouragement for everyone.

I've been speaking about politics, some, for a while. Last week the Lord kinda re-routed my focus. More prayer and I have to break in a Bible I bought last fall. I'm going to miss the one held together with tape and glue.

You'll love the search engine on this website. I'll catch up with you all later.

Im a bit confused as to why Ham was cursed at the end of chapter 9 in Geniuses. "Noah woke up and knew what was done onto Him," the Bible states. Why was it such a big deal for Ham to walk in on his father being naked and tell his older brothers? I think that his telling someone was better than letting his father just be naked. At these times, why was seeing his father naked such a big deal?

God is everything. Perfect.

This site is magnificent. Such admirable effort.

Thank you for blessing the world.

"when the day of trail comes. We may be mistaken"

Sincerely, E.

Being sprinkled with the blood of Christ, while being a stone in the building of Christ s nature.

We are many stones within the building of Christ's church.

This comparison of the nature of a believer, Peter uses to describe how we should see and feel in the faith that will become the witness unto the world! Stones ,yet lively stones!

Remember when you ask Mother or Dad about a thing, you may experience their stony response. This is the evidence of what a stone nature looks like. Or the question concerning, abortion, same sex marriage, or even trans-sexual condition one says requires surgery! Your reaction should be as a stone, No reaction!

How we respond to the condition around us will require a stone like response, yet sanctified and justified with the blood of Christ! We as stones have been sprinkled with His blood through Baptism, a baptism that is reserved in heaven through the reminder of Holy Communion given unto those who trust and believe the Gospel! Repent and be baptized.

I was healed a month ago, after physical therapy on my shoulder. I came home and cried out to Jesus to heal me.

Later I put my arm up on the back of the sofa, no pain! Then I touched the center of my back. No pain!

I waved both arms and danced around.

Called the PT people and said Jesus healed my arm and I wouldn't be back.

In the gospels, people called out to Jesus, and he healed everyone who asked. I'm 70. I've been healed many times. I do think we should have regular check ups too.

I've prayed for people in the prayer room and they emailed me that they were healed, which is pure joy to hear. Jesus knows who's touching him with faith.

I think we should all pray for spring to come early :D

We need some sunshine, and blue skies to restore our joy in Gods creation.

This chapter carries the statutes (according to verse 27) showing results of all those evils committed by the surrounding nations; hence bringing the wrath of God and destruction. These acts seem to encompass this whole chapter and include uncovering nakedness in general (v. 1-18); adultery (v. 20); child sacrifice (v. 21); sodomy (v. 22); and bestiality (v. 23). The land was said to "vomit out its inhabitants" (v. 25) with a warning for Israel of the same thing happening in verse 28.

Therefore; we see the results of these sins in pagan nations in general (certainly the same sort of things have occurred throughout the earth in such societies). God in His appointed time destroyed those nations and Israel wasn't immune to the same response from the Lord.

In addition to this; many giant offspring (first mentioned in Genesis 6) had their offspring (whose "ites" were listed among 10 giant nations in Deuteronomy). These represented areas the Lord utterly wiped out; and no doubt inspired the idol worship of others who were enamored by their supernatural strength and accomplishments; which certainly fit in to Satan's scheme.

Sadly; all these sins were to affect Israel and or Judah after these admonitions. God had warned them before this; when they were still in exile that they were not to follow the customs or adopt the gods of these nations which would be a snare unto them; neither intermarry. This warning was also given to Solomon; who went from the richest man on earth who had the honor of rebuilding the Temple and had praise and respect from his neighbors and peace with the nations to a man of compromise at best. All his promises of descendants ruling would have to be deferred until the Messiah came. Satan when he couldn't succeed in corrupting all the seed of men would usually succeed in bringing down those who could have maintained Israel as a great nation. The Lord foresaw all this but it is sad to see man's disobedience throughout scripture.

Thankyou Chris for your reply, interesting perspective or objective fact... As a Christian scholar or priest, your knowledge is inspiring, have a good weekend....

If the Holy ghost is always with us or in us. What is the washing all about, and are we being regenerated every day? My question is coming from this portion of scripture in Titus 3:5 part (B) per say. Where it states He saved us by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost. I want to add I really appreciate the help in understanding the scriptures.

Thank you Richard , I enjoy your thought provoking posts . I especially like that your mind is open and you don't try to tell me for definate what's going to happen . It feels more like a conversation than a lecture with you . I have to be honest , I'm very excited by what is going on .My heart goes out to those poor Ukrainians but I try to remember that Gods eyes are there and He can see everything . Did you know that Moscow is on the same longitude as Jerusalem ? Putin has a few allies in the middle East and I'm sure all this has been meticulously planned with China eyeing up all of the south east for itself . Putin want northern Europe . We all know who the enemies of Israel are , and these three are all quite friendly with each other , suprise suprise . It's hard for me to contain my excitement ! I think I need to pray daily for the peace of Jerusalem , which is of course the return of Christ and for God's continuing mercies to be upon all flesh . I also feel the need to talk more about this to my loved ones who don't believe . It breaks my heart honestly . I already know that none of them are even slightly interested as I've tried before and they all just look at me as if to say : oh , I didn't realise that Suzanne is a bit crazy . Christ is coming ! I'm so happy excited overwhelmed and I've never felt such peace . I'm totally calm and unafraid . Nothing in this life can touch my joy . It's hard keeping it all in , I feel as if there is an enormous flock of sparrows singing in my heart !

It came alive for me this morning as I sat down with the word of God. That the same God who filled the disciples with the Holy Spirit is the same today! In Him There is no changing shadow. No change, He has said His!

I'm not scared, but very sad, my spirit just wants to cry. For all the misery we humans can do to each other. 2000+ years, many many wars. Then someone invents an excuse to start a war again, in the world that we can so proudly say democratic. After Mikhail Gorbatsjov, the Russians have also been democratic but still leaned to red. We have the Lord to lean on, we have another hope than to perish. We reach for what is in front of us and do not turn our eyes away from Jesus.

There is no reason today to get upset dear friends. Because we know as Michael says here, the mark of the beast must come first, even though we have had it among us for many years. Has no authority yet declared that we must global have the cip implant. Of course, the chip can come fast now, and then dear friends we have to fend for ourselves. Committed to the Holy Spirit in faith that can move mountains. And I think He has an exit for us :) Amen.

Be blessed with words from Galatians 2 and 3 chapter. God bless us all and thank too Amerika and all the countries that profess to be Christians in this wicked world. for their faith in Jesus Christ over all those years. Bless them You Lord who has all the knowledge in You. Thank you for being the King Amen.

Dear Alex N I think i start and understand what you mean but experienced the first time you said this like Donna here now. But how we experience the Holy Spirit has no real significance for the Hearer of His Voice. I also know that the Spirit has and had great Power.

We constantly see it through the Bible. And i'm so happy for all the pictures we get, and who u have. So this became a new one dear friend Love you in Christ, I will look at it with open eyes.

Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Thanks GiGi. I could only learn this from referring to the Hebrew text (& translation), where in Genesis 2:4 the Hebrew clearly shows "in the day that the LORD (YHWH) God (Elohim) made the earth and the heavens". And not being a Hebrew reader, I can only read it as given, that it is 'God Who is YHWH', Who has done all these things & now communing with man & woman.

Given that the Genesis writer is generally accepted as being Moses (written between 1450 & 1410 BC), where he would have been given special grace to relate these events that he personally had not experienced, it could be that God was already showing him that 'special' connection to His people Israel, yet future, was already set in Adam & Eve.

Yet, would all those living pre-Moses (i.e. pre- Exodus 3:13,14), even know that 'special' Name? Exodus 6:3, says that the 'Name YHWH was not known to the patriarchs'. And yet we know that they were aware of it, like Abraham ( Genesis 15:7; Genesis 22:14), Jacob ( Genesis 27:20) & others knew that Name. But did they only know OF that Name but did not know Him fully, the full depth of understanding of the Name, YHWH? This debate probably still goes on. But when the children of Israel were in slavery in Egypt for over 400 years, that Name which should have been remembered & faithfully passed on, was forgotten, hence their need for an urgent reminder by Moses.

And "why should the Israelites listen to Moses & trust God?" There were four tokens of identification of this 'forgotten' God: the one of His Name ( Exodus 3:14, I AM: I've read that it is the inner meaning of YHWH - I Am the One Who Is); the one of the rod/serpent ( Exodus 4:1-5); the one of the leprous hand ( Exodus 4:6-8); & the one of the river of blood ( Exodus 4:9). I guess that any one or all of these signs should have confirmed Moses' call without any dispute & revealed to the Israelites unequivocally Who the One was Who had heard their cries & come to save them.

GiGi:

Wow, Wow, Wow. Wow. Theology like what you've written is tight. Wouldn't suffering for Christ in light of what you've said be hard? Actually, it's super easy. Barely an inconvenience. Just focus on the glory to be revealed. (Thanks ScreenRant Pitch Meetings, the Apostle Paul and of course God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit).

Hello, Mary Ann

My understanding is that at minimum the 11 apostles and a few women were at the Ascension. But I do think that it was the 11 apostles and many of the 120 disciples and women who later stayed in the upper room as Jesus requested them to do.

Ronald Whittemore:

Thank you for affirming what I wrote and expanding upon it. I fully agree with your point that Christ had to be flesh and human in the same way Adam to deliver us from our bandage to sin that Adam brought upon our race. Christ's perfect submission to God's will had to be a genuine human act in order to defeat Satan's temptations and the curse the serpent brought upon our race. The serpent had to be able to inflict real damage to Christ's flesh in the bruising of his heal, so that He could crush Satan's head in the resurrection of that damaged flesh, robbing Satan of all his powers of death (kill, i.e. the rich man that ignored Lazarus ultimately died in the midst of his pursuits of pleasure without ever overcoming Satan's deceptions), the grave (steal, i.e. the rich man was buried which was the last time his earthly wealth was spent on his earthly life and his soul was rendered as naked as the day he was born) and hell (destroy, i.e. the eternal torment of the rich man that can never know relief, because he never loved to God or his neighbor and never listened to either of them, even though he knew about both of them). Christ had to overcame real temptations from Satan appealing to the lust of His flesh (miraculously make bread to stop your hunger), last of His eyes (He could have everything could put before His eyes in this world if He betrayed God to worship Satan) and boastful pride of life (jump from a height that would kill anyone else so You can show off your power over angelic beings). To the last Christ was aware that He could call on angels to prevent His flesh from experiencing, His eyes from seeing and His earthly pride from the humiliation of His being arrested, mocked, beaten, stripped naked, and nailed to the cross, even to the point of being taken down from the cross at the last minute to shut the mouth of unbelievers, but the only thing He authorized angels to do that day was carry a believing thief to paradise to be with Him

Thanks T. Levis. I agree that Job was well into adulthood with adult children, so He must have been over 50 at least. But He could have been over 100 or 200 since Job is believed to have lived before Abraham when people lived into the 200's We just do not know. He did end up fathering more children and saw them grow up to adulthood, so I think He was between 50 and 120 or so. a pretty broad range, but Abraham had many children by Keturah after Sarah died when He was over 130 years olde and saw these children grow into adulthood.

Hi Ronald, I have read some on this.

Some say, in order to know our weakness of flesh (infirmities) He needed to be able to sin but to always choose against it, facing every temptation with a spirit, mind and will doing his Father's will.

Others say that, because of He was divinity in uncorrupted human flesh, He was not able to sin because no member of the Godhead is ever capable of sinning. And since the humanity and divinity of Jesus was a union that did not mix the two natures but existed in only one single Person, this union made Jesus unable to sin because in every act, thought, word of Jesus it was this unified nature that did these acts, thoughts, words. If Jesus did something in His human nature by this union, the divine nature did it also. If Jesus did something in His divine nature then His human nature did it, too, bcause of this union. When Jesus walked on water, His divine nature was performing the act, but Jesus the God/Man did the action without separating into two persons. When Jesus was hungry (strictly a human feeling and need) because of this union both God and Man hungered.

Still, some also say that God the Son emptied Himself of His divinity in the incarnation, (referring to Philippians 5:2-8 and therefore Jesus did everything as a human fully empowered by the Holy Spirit. In this view, Jesus was able to sin, being only human.

Personally, I do not believe this reasoning, because the whole of Scripture refutes it. Instead, I believe that the God the Son humbled himself by laying aside His glory and did not operate out of his divine powers outside of the will of God. Though He was equal to the Father and the Spirit, He chose to subordinate Himself to the Father, becoming the servant of the Father, but retained His full deity in the incarnation as well as being fully human.

For me, this is somewhat of a mystery. My first two views presented here are both plausible. I am not convinced on one over the other. The third view I wholly reject.

Here are scripture links about Jesus CHRIST ministry, the Bible however indicates HIS open ministry longer than a year on earth.

Luke 3:23, people take that scripture & add holidays & other events to draw a timeline.

It doesn't actually say that Jesus CHRIST ministry is/was limited to just those years of HIS open ministry because it's everlasting. Luke 1, John 1:1-5, Luke 2:42-50, John 8:58, 1Corinthians 15:47-58, Ephesians 3:9-11, Titus 3:7, John 3:15, Hebrews 5:9, Jude 1:21, Romans 6:23, Romans 5:21, John 17:3, 2Timothy 2:10, 2Corinthians 5:1, 1John 5:11, John 10:28, 1John 5:20,

Hopefully these are helpful

Chris,

My bad, too. As I read farther, I saw the name LORD God used repeatedly in Genesis 2. My questions are: does this name in Genesis actually equate to the name YHWH? Or was LORD God or Lord God indicative of another meaning or Hebrew name? And if the pre-flood people knew God as YHWH (I AM THA I AM), did Noah not carry this name over to the post flood era? If Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob knew God as YHWH, when did the Israelites cease to know Him by this name among others mentioned? If the Israelites never knew that God's name was YHWH, why did God think that the Israelites would listen to Moses and trust God if Moses gave them this name for God?

Hello again,

Part 4

So, creatures are not to say to the potter "Why hast thou made me like this? ( Romans 9:20-24) Who are we to question God's purpose or wisdom ( Job 38-41:6). We just need to be humble like Job, accepting Who God really is by studying His nature, essential nature and acts from the Word and also from the writings of those who have studied this topic over the ages.

Tozer, "The Knowledge of the Holy" is a good read on Who God Is. Packer is another. The early church fathers are other writers that can help us understand what Scripture teaches us about the God we worship.

The more I train my mind on discovering the excellencies of God, the more humble I become and the more readily I accept His wisdom, purposes and plans as being perfect, holy, righteous, unfathomable, and praiseworthy. I can live with knowing that God created angels and humans with the ability to sin. I can live with knowing that He indeed creating us and angels with the inevitability that sin would begin at some point in some angels and in all humans. I can live with the knowing that God created some angels and humans with the foreknowledge that these will suffer His wrath forever and other angels and humans will receive His mercy forever. I can live with knowing that the exercise of God's attributes within creation and the manifestation of His glory in all of this is truly good and righteous. I can live with knowing that God humbled Himself in creating anything, in relating to His creatures, and in becoming our Savior in Jesus Christ, because without His condescension in these things, we would never exist not receive salvation, nor know Him personally.

May my life give Him glory as He so well deserves. My only value is in what value I have in Jesus. I am but a big bag of dust and corrupted soul and spirit without the whole Trinity's loving work in me. A true view of God and of myself is really a blessing and well worth pursuing. It is a treasure because it causes us to value God

Mary Ann Knight,

You ever notice after a wedding difference people will focus details on certain aspects of things? Sometimes it's things that you yourself didn't notice or didn't seem as significant as something else. Some talk about the cake, another about the people that attended, another can't get over how white the dress was, others saw the doves released.

There's also differences in personalities It may be one of reasons that Jesus chose the varying difference in people that wrote the Gospels. Knowing each would have a unique perspective & emphasis on different details.

Matthew speaks much about angels, major significant events pertaining angels. Matthew 4:6,11, Matthew 13:39,41,49, Matthew 18:10, Matthew 22:30, Matthew 24:31,36, Matthew 25:31-46, Matthew 26:53, in context: Matthew 26,

Mark 1:13, Mark 8:38, these following 3 Matthew & Mark both discuss: Mark 12:25, Mark 13:27,32,

Luke has emphasise on several events others do not mention: Luke 1, Luke 2, but, like Matthew & Mark mention Luke 4:10,

Luke 9:26, mentioned by atleast 1 other. Luke 12:8,9,

You asked also if the others were present or witnessed the angels, it looks like Luke 24:23, testifies to that question. & John 20:12, testifies to angels being present.

John also notes John 20:30-31, John 21:25,

Hopefully this is helpful

Hello, rich

Part 3

We believers and the holy angels who never sinned are the direct recipients of this marvelous benevolence. God created in order to redeem us to benefit us, not Himself. Conversely, unbelievers and the sinful angels are the direct recipients of his fearful wrath and judgment. God created in order to exercise His righteousness and justice for both groups. God 's nature is active self-existence. He acts and is always acting. Therefore, He is always expressing all of His attributes as a display of His glory.

So, when we consider just these small number of attributes of God, we can understand why the plan of salvation was decided before the creation of the world, before there was any need for this group of attributes to be expressed outwards. The plan of salvation is the big picture when considering the purpose of creation, especially of beings that have the freedom of volition in regards to self-rule or God ruled, obedience or disobedience. Creation was necessary for the plan of salvation to become a reality. It needed time and space and matter and creatures that can know God (angels and humans) and those creatures who are not capable of knowing God through faith and reason (animals). It needed angels who could sin and those who did not, as God's salvation is not extended to fallen angels. God in His perfect and infinite wisdom decided this when the plan of salvation was willed within the Godhead.

In thinking of this, we may think of humans and angels and animals as "pawns" for God to do with as He wishes. It is true that God can do with His creation and creatures as He wills, but His will is never evil, selfish, nor unloving. So, I think we who are believers and the objects of God's mercy should accept that we just cannot know God in the internal council of the Godhead. that is an area that is off limits to us as creatures.

I will finish in part 4

Rich

Part 2

Here I will explain my speculation based on my study on Who God Is (for the past 4 months), although I have studied Him in depth before.

In my study I have learned that God is eternally self-sufficient and self-satisfied within Himself. Therefore, He is in need of nothing outside that He Himself cannot supply within the Godhead. He draws nothing he needs from outside of Himself. Paul speaks to this in Acts 17:23-25 So, I learned that God does not need us to be happy or for survival. to receive love, or to be complete.

I also learned that God created everything in accordance to His own volition, in order to display His glory, and because it pleased Him to do so. ( Rev. 4:11 for example). It is part of God's nature to manifest the glory of His Being. Before creation, many aspects of His essential Being were manifested within the relationships among the persons of the Trinity. However, there was no need for God to manifest the glory of His mercy, grace, compassion, wrath, justice, nor judgment before creation because there was no sin within the Godhead, no degradation in need of reclamation, no broken fellowship to be reconciled, no death to be resurrected.

Yet, God possessed these qualities mentioned and so, being Who He is created to give expression to these qualities.

He created all things to display His power, glory, and wisdom as a creative Being, but mostly, He created to express mercy, grace, compassion, wrath, justice, and judgment through the plan of the ages which is all about benevolent redemption and wrathful judgment. To us, it may seem somewhat cold to think of God this way and especially about His reasons for creating

rational beings. But we, as mere creatures cannot fathom the depths of God's love nor wisdom.

God is not self-absorbed, conceited, nor narcissistic. He expresses Himself through His holy and faultess will to the benefit of the objects of His generous benevolence. I will continue in part 3.

This verse was great & helped me alot.

An addendum to earlier statement...all things eventually lead to the consummation in Revelation. There is certainly a link as to the "hook in the jaw" that drags in the nations to secure wealth in Israel in the last days. It could be assumed that they will become a "land without walls" after the 1st seal but I tend to think that war may be some time before that event. If the Psalm 83 war occurs first it likely will be after this event in the news has progressed. Eventually; Israel will have to feel secure against the Palestinians and other surrounding threats and if they regain more territory for themselves and there is a league to secure the natural gas and other resources that the gulf states seem to be heading towards that could start getting them to let their guard down. There isn't a logical answer to the 7 years of cleanup after the Gog/Magog war unless it is after the Tribulation going 7 years into the Millenium or it is well before. It can't be during the Tribulation Israel will not be employed to clean up but be in exile. At any rate, when Antichrist comes he must come with the 10 nation or world REGIONAL group of kings who rule with him "one hour" or the Tribulation hour. It will be truly a global government at that time; and local currencies likely will temporarily go to a gold standard until the mark comes when "gold and silver are cast into the streets." Russia, China and India still have a large amount of investments in gold; although of the 3 India has gone the most toward cashless society; and China is doing the most spying on its citizens. The one world religion has to be set up first as you know as well.

I am just saying this to avoid the danger of national pride over love of Christ. There is danger on both sides in the church with politics today-I'll leave it at that. All nations will face God's judgment soon; may God have mercy on us as judgment for innocent blood is overdue

May we all be "wise as serpents; innocent as doves."

Hello Rich again,

Part 1

I agree that Adam and Eve were not created with inherent sinful nature. The Bible does not support the view that they were created already fallen. I do believe that God created both angelic beings and human beings with the a nature that has the freedom to choose to obey God or disobey. Therefore, they were made "able to sin". This freedom means also that angels and humans can choose to rule by their own will of be ruled by God's will.

God, in His wisdom according to His eternal purpose for creation, designed this option into His "plan of the ages" which was, He created for the purpose of salvation of being He created. Therefore, the ability to sin, and the inevitability of it, were a necessary part of His purpose for creating beings He planned to be in relationship with after creation. Whereas, prior to creation, the was (and is) perfect relationship within the Persons of the Godhead.

Creation does not affect this internal relationship in the Godhead. But it does affect the Godhead's external relationship to His creation and creatures (both spiritual and physical).

God's essential nature is infinitely complete and full. He never changes in His character. He never adds or subtracts anything necessary in his Being. So, such attributes as mercy, grace, compassion, and wrath, justice, judgment have always existed in God's essence. He did not acquire these from outside of Himself nor create them inside of Himself when the angels and man sinned.

So, this begs the question-"Why did God create knowing His created beings will sin by self-will and disobedience? I am sure that there may be many explanations for this, but I do not think that the Scriptures clearly tell us. So, any explanation would be a speculation based on what we know about God and what He has said about the plan to save sinful humans, but not sinful angels.

In my next post (Part 2) I will explain my speculation (or educated guess, so to speak).

Since you seem like a faithful person I am grateful that you are indeed concerned on the issue as only one other comment so far seems to exist on this format on this event.

I am not entirely convinced that there will be an immediate mideast regional war; and certainly not that the seal wars will commence; at least not BEFORE false peace; and the Daniel 9:27 covenant is enacted. Of course there is no guarantee that our nation will be here at least as we are now BETWEEN now and the rapture. If we are Babylon; or not it would seem that with individuals from every tribe; nation or language will be represented in the faithful group of martyrs in the 5th seal; and later in heaven. Perhaps the man of sin is identifiable to those who are discerning now before the 1st Seal and our departure.

I am not sure what is on the block list in my original statement that I was going to say. I would just say that the Russia's leader has been right on many comments at least partially; in regard to our own nation's hypocrisy; and with his support of the Orthodox church there and in league with Syria; the Lord allowed that effort to end a conflict that was poorly handled as to our allies at the time. He has also supported the Jews at least in comments in the past-basically it is more of a nationalistic effort than communist as in earlier years. He has been correct on things that we have done to some extent with subterfuge; and on comments as to our acceptance of the gay lifestyle and other things that no doubt the Soviets had in their propaganda designed through media to decay our society a generation or more ago.

I would watch Turkey as many have warned it has 300,000 men which can fight-they are loosely allied right now with Russia but they clearly are a major player in the Ezekiel 38 war; and perhaps precursor skirmishes eventually leading to the wars in the Tribulation but the FIRST SEAL of false peace must come first.

Thank you GiGi for picking up on my error. I should have written Genesis 2:4.

I agree, it is referring to a region that was settled in that time by those descended from Gog and Magog, which was most likely in northern Anatolia and around the Black and Caspian Seas. But in these times, The descendants of Gog and Magog may be further north or northeast of northwest of Anatolia. But it is very likely that God and Magog now is most likely Russia and surrounding areas.

Hi Chris, very good analysis. Thanks. I just read Genesis 2:2 and it does not say LORD God. Are you meaning Exodus 3:6?
