What Is the Name of the Lord That the Righteous Run Into?
1) Direct Answer
The Name is the Lord Jesus Christ.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous run into it, and is safe” (Proverbs 18:10).
- Salvation is in one Name: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven… whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12)—that Name is Jesus Christ.
- God made Jesus both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36). “Thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).
- The command was to baptize in the Name (singular) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19). Jesus said, “I am come in my Father’s name” (John 5:43) and “the Comforter… the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name” (John 14:26). That revealed Name we act in is “the Lord Jesus” (Colossians 3:17; Acts 2:38).
- “Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21). In the New Testament, that Lord is Jesus.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- There is one God, not three persons. He was above us as Father, with us in the Son, and now in us as the Holy Spirit. The LORD of the Old Testament is Jesus of the New.
- The “strong tower” is not letters; it is the revealed Person and Name of God to us—Jesus Christ. We run into Him by faith, calling on His Name, obeying His Word, being baptized in His Name, and we are safe.
4) Reinforcing Statement
That’s the mystery: God manifested in flesh. The righteous find safety in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Oh, let's just raise up our hands and praise Him.

Now, in Washington, DC, my name is recorded. It makes me ... they ... what nationality I am, who my father and mother was, how much I weighed when I was born, my description, my prints of my thumb. You see, it's the expression to the nation who I am; and William Branham is recorded up there in Washington. That's the expression of me to the nation. Now, that is my name. So, when God came down from heaven to be king over the earth, He expressed Himself to His subjects in seven compound redemptive names. Jehovah-jireh...

Heavenly Father, as our sister, also a trophy of the grace of God, too wretched and miserable dope addict, drunkard, and, now stands a lovely woman, made whole, what a case of healing, Lord. And then her heart burns for others who are afflicted, because she knows there is a great Healer. She spoke three different names just now, Father. I pray and connected myself with our brother here, our pastor, and--and her, and the Lord Jesus. And may, in His glorious Name, these three people be delivered for the Kingdom of Go...

Oh, I'm so glad to know that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. He feeds His little ones, pours His strength into His believers through His Word. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Then when the believer comes, he comes up to El Shaddai, and he leans upon His bosom, and he just draws His---he draws God's strength right into his own body by believing His Word. Oh, blessed be the name of the Lord!

You'll sign papers that you'll do this, or do that. Even against the Word, you'll still sign it. That's right. In your heart, you know it's wrong. That's that still small voice speaking that Word. No wonder we can't move on, because what ... something's happened. You separated yourself from that still small voice. You run out too quick. God was calling you, but you run out too quick because the thunders roared, the lightning flashed, the mountains shook. It never moved Elijah, that prophet. He wanted that voice fir...
