NAMES OF GOD IN THE BIBLE: A DISPENSATIONAL APPROACH : PROF. M. M. NINAN Medieval, rationalist Jewish philosophers (exponents of "Hakirah"-rational "investigation" from first principles in support of Judaism), such as Maimonides, describe Biblical Monotheism to mean that there is only one God, and His essence is a unique, simple, infinite Unity. Jewish mysticism gives a deeper explanation, by distinguishing between God's essence and emanation. In Kabbalah and especially Hasidism, God's Unity means that there is nothing independent of His essence. This is the stand also of the Eastern Churches. Since there can be nothing outside of God, in order to create – especially free willed beings - God will have to share his divinity with sentients. There has to be a Kenosis flowing out of love. Otherwise there will be no Sons of God with independence and responsibility. But then love is the basic nature of God and that is also shown in the Trinitarian aspect of God. 94
NAMES OF GOD IN THE BIBLE: A DISPENSATIONAL APPROACH : PROF. M. M. NINAN XIII THE OCTAGRAMAMATON 8 LETTER NAME OF GOD Octagrammaton" means "eight letters" and refers to an eight-letter Name of God created by interspersing the letters for Adonai with the letters for the Tetragrammaton: Y-A-H-D-V-N-H-Y (Yud-Aleph-Hey-Dalit-Vav-Nun-Hey-Yud) This Name is numerically equivalent to "Amen" that is a sound faith in Hashem. Within the secrets of this name is the meaning of Adonai – which includes the word for judgement – alluding to Tzedek (Righteous). Also there is a hint at God’s unity with ehad . Another allusion to the messiah is from Nah. 95
