Jehovah-Nissi

Jehovah-Nissi ('The Lord is My Banner') declares God as our victorious standard and protection in spiritual warfare. This name assures believers that God leads us to triumph over sin, Satan, and worldly opposition through Christ's finished work.

Overview

Jehovah-Nissi first appears in Exodus 17:15 after Israel's victory over Amalek. The name signifies God as our banner of victory, rallying point, and sign of His lordship over all enemies. In the New Testament, Christ becomes our ultimate banner—His cross displaying God's final victory over death and darkness.
