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.

The infallible Word of God
56-0404 §35
Our foundation stands sure. Foundation of God. God laid in Zion the cornerstone. There we are, can't slip, can't slide, can't move. Then we come into the door through Christ, put on here. Oh, we may have our ups-and-downs, along, that's true enough: sicknesses and troubles. But remember, there's a great company of angels all along the road, bear thee up, any time. Taking you on up when you fall. Oh, yes, He's there. He promised it. And He had to make a way of it. So, the only way He could make was the cornerstone,...
To take on the whole armor of God
62-0701 §36
Now the enemy knowed as long as the human race stayed with that Word, he'd never be able to touch them. (Now I'm beginning to feel religious right now.) As long as the human race stayed with the Word... God fortified his family on the earth, his army, in the fort of his Word. That is our fortress. "The name of the Lord is a mighty tower. The righteous run into it and are safe." They're fortified. The Lord is the Word. They are in there fortified, and safe forevermore, as long as the human race stays in the Word. As...
Unbelief does not hinder God
62-0128M §50
I never said nothing right then, but I thought, "How true it is! Unbelievers, instead of trying to take the beacon light (God's Word is a light), trying to take that beacon and go to safety with it to Christ, they beat their brains out---die in sin and disgrace trying to beat the light out, when it would be totally impossible. There can't be enough infidels rise, enough devils come out of hell, to ever beat that light of the world out." "I am the light of the world." They'll never beat it out. So there's only one t...
Letting off the pressure

I have two scriptures tonight in mind, like to call your attention to. One of them is Proverbs, 18th chapter, 10th verse; the other one's Isaiah, 32:2. And in Proverbs, the 18:10, I would like to read this: The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous run into it, and are safe. And in Isaiah, the 32nd chapter of Isaiah, and beginning with the 1st and 2nd verse: Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, a prince shall rule in judgment. And a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from...

Lord Jesus, Thou rose of Sharon, lily of the valley, the bright and morning star, the fairest of ten thousand to my soul, Thou, the stream of all my comfort, more than life to me, how we love You.

Somehow or another I just feel we're going to ... something laying right ahead for us. Now, just remember... I believe I'm prophesying. Great joy waits for them that believe in Him.
