The Power in a Name

What is in a name? When you think of a big famous brand name or a name associated with a famous brand, there is a mystique in a big famous name and I imagine there is a certain power. If you had a father whose name was a big global brand you might stand to inherit that name but still if you have the character and inspiration you might use that status to create a name of your own and your father might help. This could lead to you experiencing for yourself just how much power there can be in a name. Yet when it comes to the name of the Son of Man who is son to the One Most High God we are talking power on a whole new level. I cannot even imagine that level. It takes the Holy Spirit to inspire it within us. The name and fame this Son of Man has takes power to the extreme since it drives the very forces of Nature and of Life on Earth. The name by which we can be saved if we believe.

Book of Enoch 48:1-4 
“1. And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousness
Which was inexhaustible:
And around it were many fountains of wisdom;
And all the thirsty drank of them,
And were filled with wisdom,
And their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect.
2. And at that hour that Son of Man was named In the presence of the Lord of Spirits,
And his name before the Head of Days.
3. Yea, before the sun and the signs were created,
Before the stars of the heaven were made,
His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.
4. He shall be a staff to the righteous whereon to stay themselves and not fall,
And he shall be the light of the Gentiles,

And the hope of those who are troubled of heart.”
