Yahweh (YHWH) is the Elohim of the Bible and Heaven that many, including the religious, are not aware of
In this podcast, we’ll examine Yahweh: YHWH is the Elohim of the Bible and heaven. This is a very crucial biblical topic that remains hidden to people, including many religious leaders! Here, we’ll explore and share the answers to who Yahweh is from the Holy Scripture.
Welcome to today’s episode of the educational podcast, where we dive deep into the big questions of faith, life, and the divine. I’m Elder Dan, your host. Today, we’re tackling a question that’s echoed through the ages: Who is Yahweh? We’re going to explore this through the lens of the Bible, pulling from key verses in the Old and New Testaments.

Let’s kick things off with Genesis 1:1, where it says, “In the beginning, Yahweh created the heavens and the earth.” Yes, right out of the gate, the Bible introduces Yahweh as the Creator, the one who spoke the universe into existence. There’s no preamble, no debate—just a bold declaration! This tells us Yahweh is powerful, purposeful, and pre-existent. Before time, before matter, before anything, there was Yahweh. It’s like the ultimate mic-drop moment. He’s not an idol or a man-made god; He’s the Elohim, the source of all that is!
Think about it: the stars, the oceans, the mountains—every atom owes its existence to Him. This sets the stage for everything else we’re going to unpack. Yahweh isn’t just a character in the story; He’s the author, the artist, the architect.
Now, let’s fast-forward to Exodus 3:13-15, where Moses is standing before the burning bush, having a face-to-face moment with the divine. Moses, understandably a bit nervous, asks Elohim, “Who should I say sent me to the Israelites?” And Yahweh responds, “I AM WHO I AM. Tell them, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ Yes, He says His name is Yahweh, and this is His name forever!
This is huge! “I AM” is not just a catchy phrase—it’s a revelation of Yahweh’s nature. He’s eternal, self-existent, unchanging! He doesn’t depend on anything or anyone else to exist. He just is. It’s like Yahweh’s saying, “I’m the constant in a world of variables.” And that name, Yahweh? It’s personal. It’s relational. He’s not some distant cosmic force; He’s an Elohim who engages with His people, who calls Moses by name and sends him on a mission to free Israel. I love how this moment shows Yahweh’s accessibility but also His mystery. He’s knowable, yet beyond comprehension. It’s like trying to hold the ocean in a teacup!
Next, let’s jump to Isaiah 43:10-11, where Yahweh says through the prophet, “You are my witnesses… Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me. I, I am Yahweh, and besides me there is no savior.” This is Yahweh drawing a line in the sand. In a world where people worshipped idols—think golden calves or statues of Baal—Yahweh’s like, “Nope. I’m the only one who’s real. No one comes before me, no one comes after me, and no one else can save. This exclusivity is striking! Yahweh isn’t competing in a divine talent show; He’s in a category of His own. He’s not just the best option—He’s the only option for salvation, for truth, for worship! And yet, there’s this beautiful invitation: “You are my witnesses.” Yahweh invites His people to know Him, to testify to His reality. It’s like He’s saying, “You’ve seen me work—now tell the world!”
Now, let’s shift to the New Testament, to John 4:24, where Yahshua is talking to the Samaritan woman at the well. He says, “Yahweh is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth!” This is such a profound moment. Yahshua reveals that Yahweh isn’t confined to a physical form or a specific place, like a temple or a mountain. He is a spirit being—transcendent, invisible, limitless! This challenges how we think about Yahweh. He’s not a bearded guy on a cloud; He’s beyond our physical categories.
But here’s the kicker: worshiping Him isn’t about rituals or locations—it’s about authenticity, spirit, and truth! It’s about a heart connection, about coming to Him with honesty and faith. This makes Yahweh both infinitely vast and intimately accessible. You don’t need a pilgrimage to find Him; you just need a sincere heart.
Finally, let’s close with Revelation 22:13, where Yahshua declares, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” This verse ties everything together. The Elohim who created in Genesis, who revealed Himself as I AM in Exodus, who declared His uniqueness in Isaiah, and who Yahshua revealed as spirit in John—He’s the same Yahweh who stands at the end of time, the Alpha and Omega, yes, the A to Z of existence!
This is such a comforting truth. History isn’t random; it’s held in Elohim’s hands. He was there at the start, He’s here now, and He’ll be there at the end! No matter what chaos or uncertainty we face, Yahweh bookends it all. He’s the constant, the eternal, the one who brings it all to completion!
So, who is Yahweh? From these verses, we see Yahweh who is the Creator of all things, the eternal I AM, the only Savior, a spirit being who seeks authentic worship, and the Alpha and Omega who holds time itself! He’s powerful yet personal, transcendent yet relational, unchanging yet engaged with His creation! Note: God isn’t Yahweh because “God” was not, is not, and will never be Yahweh’s name!!!

I humbly pray all these things to Yahweh through Yahshua the Messiah, our Master and coming King, amen. Kindly keep praying for the shalom of Israel. Take care. Halleluyah!
