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.

Revelation, Chapter 4b Twenty-Four Elders
61-0101 §116
What if Jesus would've come to earth and said, "I'm Jesus. I'm the Son of God," never done nothing? Just say, "I'm going up here and join the church"? Would that have been the Son of God? What did He say? "If I do not the works of my Father, then don't believe me." Oh, my! Do you see? God declares Himself. He loves to. He's Jehovah. He likes to make Himself known. Oh, I'm so glad of it. Yes, sir. He's made Himself known to me; I know He has to you. Some of you young people just converted, yet you don't... might not...

...to come, about the time the morning sacrifice, there came the waters when everything was laying in order. And the waters begin to pour down through, came--come from the way of the wilderness. And the first thing you know, the enemy saw it, and they rushed in, and they was laying in ambush. They run over their lands, the Israelites did, and they stopped up every well they had; cut down every tree they had; marred every piece of ground. And brother, if there ever was a time...

...want to ask you something. Noticing. When He come on earth and He started out, in Luke 2, He was having a meeting, perhaps praying for the sick. And there was a man by the name of Philip. And Philip got converted. And as soon as he got converted to the Lord Jesus, he went quickly to find his friend. That's a good sign of conversion, when you want to tell somebody else about it. He run quickly. So, he left the prayer meeting, and he goes around the hill several miles; and he finds his friend by the name of Nathanae...

Now let's get back to our Scripture. We know what the Lord's Day is not. If it is not Saturday or Sunday, what is it? Well, let's put it this way. Today is certainly not the Lord's Day. This is man's day. It is man's doing, man's work, man's church, man's idea of worship, man's everything, for it is man's world (kosmos). BUT THE DAY OF THE LORD IS COMING. Yes, it is. It is just that at this time of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, John was taken up by the Spirit and transported by the Spirit to that Great Day that i...
