Jehovah-Nissi
Exodus 17:15,16
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:


The use of this name by the Church bespeaks -

1. Her militant condition. "The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation."

2. The side on which she fights - "My banner."

3. The name round which she rallies - "Jehovah." "One Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Ephesians 6:5).

4. The confidence by which she is inspired. The inscription on a banner frequently sets forth the ground of confidence. "God and my right."

5. The certainty she has of victory. - J.O.
