PRAYING THE NAMES OF GOD:
Week #9: YAHWEH NISSI
Key Scripture: Exodus 17:15-16
Understanding the Name:
Unlike fabric flags, ancient banners were usually made out of wood or metal and shaped into various figures or emblems that could be fastened to a bare staff or a long pole. Depicting birds, animals, or gods, they often glistened brightly in the sun so that they could be seen from far off. A banner carried at the head of an army or planted on a high hill served as a rallying point for troops before battle or as an announcement of a victory already won.

Because banners embodied the ideals and aspirations of whoever carried them, they aroused devotion to a nation, a cause, or a leader. When Moses held up the staff of God in the battle with the Amale kites, he was holding it like a banner, appealing to God’s power. By building an alter and naming it Yahweh Nissi (yah-WEH nis-SEE), “The Lord is my Banner, “ he created a memorial of God’s protection and power during the Israelites’ first battle after leaving Egypt.
