Revealed: Your own identity carries divine 'name of God'
• https://www.wnd.com, By WND StaffAnswering ordinary questions such as "Who are you" or "What's your name" may seem trivial and mundane, but millions of people have little or no idea they're actually voicing the divine name of God when they utter the answers.
The fascinating subject was probed recently on the popular Bible TV show "Shabbat Night Live," as host Scott Laird interviewed Joe Kovacs, author of the new bestseller, "Reaching God Speed: Unlocking the Secret Broadcast Revealing the Mystery of Everything."
The pair investigated people's ultimate identity, and how every human being has a divine proclamation.
"Who are you? We all want to know who we are, our identity," explained Kovacs.
"And if somebody asks you, 'What's your name?' or 'Who are you?,' You would say 'I am Scott.' I would say, 'I am Joe.' It's a very simple thing, and everybody in the audience can insert their own name there. But the point is, that when you say your own identity, you are saying God's name first.
"Because you are saying, 'I am ... whatever your name is.' You're saying God's name first because God has used that phrase, 'I AM' to identify Himself.
"'I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say ... I AM has sent me to you. ... This is my name forever; this is how I am to be remembered in every generation (Exodus 3:14-15 CSB).
"So it's a memorial for how we remember God because you're saying it every time you say your name. Your own identity is already attached to God."

In addition, and to simplify, consider the names in the Bible. Consider the two genealogies of Jesus, Himself. Most of the time, only one name is listed regarding each family in/of the genealogies. But what about the wife and other family members of the person named? most of them were as much believers in God as the person named in the genealogies. The point is, these names are important because the individuals were God-believers. And so, all names of all God-believers are important. If you are a God-believer and on His side - in favor of Him - you are as important to Him as any of those people named in the genealogies. So, your name is as important as any of those people named in the genealogies. It is important that in your reading of the Bible, to not gloss over or neglect to read the names in the genealogies, in Genesis, in Chronicles, and in Matthew and Luke.
