The meaning of Jehovah Jireh is: He sees something in advance and He knows something beforehand. This is followed by His providence.

Jehovah is my shepherd. Shepherd means companion, friend; someone who cares for me, who feeds me, who guides me, who gives me direction.

Jehovah Shammah is God's promise to bring people to final peace and glory. Man has been created to glorify God and to rejoice in Him eternally. We are looking forward to the new Heaven and the Earth, where His Righteousness will reign forever.

32. Jehovah Shalom - The Lord Our Peace

Judge 6:23,24 And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die. Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovah Shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

Jehovah Shalom is peace, wholeness, recompensing a loss, to finish something, well-being, to be complete, deepest desire of the human heart. In Hebrew it also means harmony in a relationship or a reconciliation, based on a closed negotiation, the payment of a debt or to serve satisfaction to someone.

Peace is destroyed by sin. The peace sacrifice re- establishes the relationship between God and people.
