THE NAMES OF GOD

NAMES OF GOD IN THE BIBLE: A DISPENSATIONAL APPROACH : PROF. M. M. NINAN
EL TZADIK - The Righteous God: (Isaiah 45:21)
It is the Tazdiks who intercedes with God for the world just as Abraham did for Sodom and
Gomorah. The Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 97b, Sukkot 45b says that at least 36 Tzadikim
Nistarim—anonymous tzadikim—are living among us in all times; they are anonymous, and it is for
their sake alone that the world is not destroyed. However that number is derived from geometria while
Abrahamic intercession talks only about a minimum of ten Tzadiks in a city. tzadik's prayers are
considered especially potent, as the Talmud states: "A tzadik decrees and the Holy One (blessed be
He) fulfills."
Rabban Gamliel the son of Rabbi Judah haNasi used to say: "Make His Will your own will, that He
make your will as His Will."Avot, 2:4
The Lord is our righteousness... Jeremiah, 23:6.
“Is any one among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is any among
you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in
the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and
if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for
one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects.”
(Jam 5:13-16)
EL YESHUATI - The God Of My Salvation: (Isaiah 12:2

another name for Israel.
