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.
