Man of War!

 

Both Exodus 15:3 and Isaiah 42:13 speak of the Man of War. Not the gentle loving God that we know, but Yahweh, the God of fierce protection over His people, showing another facet of His nature.

 

Exodus 15:3

The Lord is a man of war; The Lord is His name. (KJV)

The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is His name. (NLT)

Jehovah is a man of war; Jehovah is His name. (ASV)

 

Isaiah 42:13; The Lord shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war.

 

The Lord is man of war; direct, bold, brawn in battle. The Lord is His name. The Lion of Judah; the symbol of bravery, nobility and strength.

Jehovah; God of all might, all power, establishing the Heavenly Father’s everlasting gospel on earth. More than a man; a man commanding, sturdy, victorious.

Exalt His name, celebrate His praise, give holiness to the Lord!

For the Lord is a man of war. He is a man of special fitness, an eminent warrior, a man of words, a tough man, a man of valour, with courage in the face of danger.

A warrior, engaged in war, inured to it. Overcoming powerful enemies, principalities, powers and satan himself. Overcoming the world and the great men of it. Overcoming the antichrist and the anti-Christian states.

Well versed in the art of war, qualified by wisdom, might and courage, subduing all people, making His own more than conquerors through Him.

Captain of the Lord’s host. Leader and Commander of the people. Generalissimo over armies on earth and in heaven. Prince and King: The Chief of them all.

The Lord is His name. Always overcoming, always constant in His promises. Jehovah, possessing the force to destroy His foes. The God who rules with unlimited might. The great Yahweh; The I Am That I Am.

This is the God that I serve! What about you?
