"Jealous"
As God led the Israelites in the wilderness, He told them His name is Jealous.
Exodus 34:14 "For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God"
"LORD"
Later, as God continued dealing with His people to whom He entrusted His words, He spoke telling them His name is "Lord."
Isaiah 42:8 "I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images."
Taking the "letter" of the word, how could God be so unpredictable as to change His name so often? The truth is these are all descriptive titles of God mistaken to be His names. This therefore caused concern to all Bible believers that the Roman Catholic Church, the oldest sect, through Cardinal Peter Galatin, conceived Jehovah for the name of God. In the Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. 7, page 88 this is written:
"The reading Jehovah is a comparatively recent invention. Jehovah is generally held to have been the invention of Pope Leo the 10th's Confessor, Peter Galatin (De Arcanis Catholic Veritates 1518, Folio XLIII), who was followed in the use of this hybrid form by Fagius Drusius. Van de Driesche, who lived between 1550 and 1616, was the first to ascribe to Peter Galatin the use of Jehovah, and this view has been taken since his day."
The King James or Authorized Version of the Bible which was published in 1611 A.D. thus carried this name:
Exodus 6:3 "And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
Isaiah 12:2 "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation."
Isaiah 26:4 "Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength."
In recent times however, further revision of this name was made that now it is adapted by many modern translations of the Holy Bible. Father God is called Yahweh.
"Yahweh"
The Samaritan pronunciation Jabe approaches the real sound of the Divine name. The other early writers transmit only abbreviations or corruptions of the sacred name. Inserting the vowels into the original Hebrew consonant text, YHWH, we obtain the form Jahveh or Yahweh, which has been generally accepted by modern scholars as the true pronunciation of the Divine name. It is not merely closely connected with the pronunciation of the ancient synagogue by means of the Samaritan tradition, but it also allows the legitimate derivation of all the abbreviations of the sacred name in the Old Testament. . .
Name of God in the Old Testament
The truth is God had not yet given His name in the Old Testament to His chosen people as revealed to Isaiah in:
Isaiah 52:6 "Therefore my people shall know my name (Acts 2:38): therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I."
The Testament of salvation
After the Fall as every Bible believer knows, man needs God’s assurance for salvation. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob revealed this covenant in:
Genesis 17:7 "And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee."
Later, God made known that this testament of salvation was not exclusive to the (physical) "seeds of Abraham" but to all people belonging to Christ.
Romans 9:6 "Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel."
Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed (spiritual seed), and heirs according to the promise." ..... .....
