The Names of God in Worship The Messiah had the very power of the Word of God operating through Him as a man. Jesus did not use the term for himself even though he did not deny that he was indeed God's chosen seed of David. The name and title "Son of Man," is God's deliverance, which was the name that Jesus called himself. He is the fulfilled Prophecy of Dan. 7:13-14, God's intervention on behalf of his people. He is Yahweh in human form: God who saves. Rarely did anyone directly call him "God," except Thomas who had encountered Jesus. "My Lord and my God" were the spoken words of confession by Thomas when Jesus appeared to him after the resurrection. Two synonyms were used in Thomas' confession of the name Lord. Their unclean lips could not speak the name Yahweh, because God's name literally means Holy. This referenced the act of God revealing himself to Moses at the burning bush, thus the Jews substituted the word Lord.
