While many names of God reflect aspects of His infinite nature, the name that most directly conveys the concept of His
unending existence and eternal nature is
YHWH (יהוה), often referred to as Yahweh or Jehovah.
Here's why:
* Meaning of YHWH: Scholars believe the name YHWH is derived from the Hebrew verb "to be" (היה - hayah). A common interpretation is "I AM THAT I AM" or "I Will Be What I Will Be." This suggests God's self-existence, His eternal presence, and His unbound ability to become whatever He needs to be. He isn't limited by time or creation; He simply IS.
* Relationship to Eternity: The timeless nature of "I AM" signifies God's transcendence beyond the limitations of time, reflecting His infinite and eternal being. He is not bound by the past, present, or future; He encompasses all of time simultaneously.
* Unfathomable nature: Because of this connection to being, the name YHWH is considered to be the most sacred name of God. Its use was often reserved to high priest in the Temple and is avoided by many devout Jews to this day. This reverence further reinforces the unfathomable and infinite nature of God
While other names like El Shaddai (God Almighty) speaks to God's limitless power, and Elohim (God) to his transcendence, YHWH comes closest to denoting His infinite existence and eternal nature.
