    There are many names of God that are mentioned only once, or only a few times in the Scriptures. Many of these names in the Old Testament are similar to the names of God found in the New Testament book of Revelation.


    Scripture Name Meaning
    Psalms 144:10 Hannoten Teshuah The Giver of Salvation
    Psalms 50:6 Shofet Judge
    Genesis 49:24 Roeh Shepherd
    Isaiah 9:6 Peleh Wonderful
    Isaiah 9:6 Yo’etz Counsellor
    Leviticus 24:16 HaShem The Name
    Isaiah 43:15 Borei Israel Creator of Israel
    Ecclesiastes 12:1 Borei Creator
    Genesis 16:7 Mal'ak Jehovah The Angel of the LORD
    Genesis 48:16 Hamelekh Hagoel The Redeeming Angel
    Isaiah 10:17 ‘Or Israel Light of Israel
    Isaiah 42:6 ‘Or Goyim Light of the nations
    Deuteronomy 4:24 Esh Okhlah A consuming Fire
    Isaiah 26:7 Yashar Most Upright
    Isaiah 44:6 ri'shon first
    Isaiah 26:7 'acharon last

    In addition to the above names, both Abraham and Joshua met men who they worshipped. Abraham met Melchizedek and gave him tithes (Genesis 14:18-20) of all he had, and Joshua met the "Captain of the host of the LORD" and worshipped him (Joshua 5:13-15). Because both Abraham and Joshua knew God personally, it is evident from these scriptures that they recognized "Melchizedek" and the "captain of the host of the LORD", as God appearing in the form of a man.
