My hope is that this series will offer my readers a chance to consider the names, characteristics and descriptions of our God in the Word.
The remaining Names of God in this series might be considered descriptors, or characteristics of the Lord. We have reviewed the three primary Names of God, along with nineteen compound Names of God in our previous posts. As we venture through these descriptors of our God, I hope we will recognize all the many characteristics of our God that we tend to take for granted.
The Word is truly rich with descriptions of the Living God, and this effort of searching in the Word was quite illuminating. He truly is the ultimate subject of the Word, and His revelation of self-descriptions, or the accolades offered Him by His priests, prophets, kings apostles and faithful truly is a blessing.
May the Name of the Lord be praised, and by thinking on His name, may you have a blessed day.

| DELIVERER |
| Romans 11:26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”; |
| The Deliverer, Jesus is the One who initiates the deliverance, the rescue, the salvation out of our pitiful existence. And yet He has come out of Zion, which originally meant “a parched place”. Of course, Zion had come to mean the City of David, Jerusalem or even the Temple constructed by Solomon, which was called the dwelling place of God. Out of a parched place, glory rose. This picture reminds me of another time when Isaiah develops the Saviors arrival in the midst of unexpected times and circumstances. Isa 11:1 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. Jesus appeared on time, in location and per direction in the most unlikely manner, out of a parched circumstances, and from a stump the remains of a now dead family tree. The Deliverer has come out of Zion, a parched place that showed no promise of life. And yet He came, not only to provide life for all, but to banish ungodliness, which is the very definition of life for those who understand the Life He has given us. To consider to be delivered and yet to wallow in ungodliness is to be self deceived. Consider the purpose of the Deliverer as we consider the Deliverer today. For He has rose from the grave, the dust of a parched place to provide life and godliness for all who seek Him. 2 Peter 1:3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, |

One response to “Names of God – DELIVERER – 95”
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 4:21-23
