Revealed: Your own identity carries divine 'name of God'

Answering ordinary questions such as "Who are you" or "What's your name" may seem trivial and mundane, but millions of people have little or no idea they're actually voicing the divine name of God when they utter the answers.

The fascinating subject was probed recently on the popular Bible TV show "Shabbat Night Live," as host Scott Laird interviewed Joe Kovacs, author of the new bestseller, "Reaching God Speed: Unlocking the Secret Broadcast Revealing the Mystery of Everything."  (See video of the show below.)

The pair investigated people's ultimate identity, and how every human being has a divine proclamation.

"Who are you? We all want to know who we are, our identity," explained Kovacs.

"And if somebody asks you, 'What's your name?' or 'Who are you?,' You would say 'I am Scott.' I would say, 'I am Joe.' It's a very simple thing, and everybody in the audience can insert their own name there. But the point is, that when you say your own identity, you are saying God's name first.

"Because you are saying, 'I am … whatever your name is.' You're saying God's name first because God has used that phrase, 'I AM' to identify Himself.

"'I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say … I AM has sent me to you. … This is my name forever; this is how I am to be remembered in every generation (Exodus 3:14-15 CSB).

"So it's a memorial for how we remember God because you're saying it every time you say your name. Your own identity is already attached to God."

Kovacs went on to explain that God's presence in people's identity goes far beyond the present time, but extends into everyone's future.

"Not only is it attached to God now," he said, "once we're resurrected from the dead and become members of God's family forever, we're going to have God's name on us forever. Jesus says that. 'I'm going to write on them the name of my God (Revelation 3:12) … and my 'Father's name,' (Revelation 14:1) because it's another way of saying that we're going to become on the divine level as children of God."

Laird agreed and then brought up the custom of women often changing their names at wedlock.

"And when we change our names for marriage purposes, there's something in there too, isn't there?" Laird asked.

"Absolutely," said Kovacs.

"Women change their name all the time when they get married and you might wonder how did this start. God started it because He is broadcasting the end from the beginning. I cannot overstate this Scripture enough. Isaiah 46:10, God says He's 'declaring the end from the beginning.' He's telling you the conclusion of the story right from the start. And the conclusion of our story, is that we, the bride of Christ if you want to think of it that way, the wife of God as Revelation calls us, we are going to be married to God.

"And so we are going to change our name from human beings here in the flesh, to the very family name of God. That's when the name change comes. That's why brides change their name to the family name of their husband. God is our husband. He says in the Old Testament, 'I am your husband,' "I am married unto you" (Jeremiah 3:14).

"All these phrases are in the Old Testament and again they're previewing the very famous marriage, the most important marriage because we are the spouse of God. So we get a name change from human beings to God beings. It says in the Old Testament, Psalm 82:6, 'I said, "You are gods,'" that phrase is in the Bible, you are Elohim. Because He's telling us the end right now."

Endorsed by Chuck Norris and other Christian champions, "Reaching God Speed" is nothing short of a breakthrough work, as it probes God's hidden messages embedded in popular movies, hit songs from (Adele and the Beatles to Frank Sinatra and Led Zeppelin), the stories we tell our children, everyday phrases we all say, historic news events, famous commercial campaigns, nature itself, and typical life activities such as such as inhaling every breath you takesleeping, waking up and many more.
