There are amazing hidden messages in the names of people and places in the Bible. Once you get an understanding of the prophetic messages revealed in these names, you will be able to get greater insight and understanding of what the Word of God is revealing to you.
It was common in Biblical times, and in many instances even today, that the name of a person is descriptive of an expression, hope for the future, a prophecy or a divine revelation.
Often the name of a person would describe the characteristics and mannerisms of a person. In some cases it explained the occupation of a person and in other cases it had symbolic or prophetic significance.
Some names depicted family relationships or was descriptive of a person’s behaviour or emotions. Biblical names can also describe aspects such as praise, rebellion or bitterness.
