God’s name we are first introduced to in the Bible is ALHYM. ALHYM is an all-encompassing name and allows us to understand that God is an infinite entity. Only an infinite entity could create our universe and the life within it. ALHYM is sovereign LORD and Master, Supreme Ruler of All.
A study of the very letters of His name reveals the truth of His essence:
A Aleph the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet. It is premier and silent, giving honor to that which it proclaims. A denotes holiness and godliness.
L Lamed is in the middle of the alphabet and leads us up into God’s realm because the Hebrew letter trails above the line of writing, as God’s domain, Heaven, is above all.
H Hey is a sound made by gutturally breathing out. It denotes the breath of God that gives life to all living and breathing souls. It is located in the middle of God’s name as our breath is located in the middle of us. Breath is the most fundamental necessity of life, over all other elements. Without it nothing could live.
Y Yod is the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet. It is made by beginning with a dot of a pen, or a point. Nothing is too small for God. He is in our smallest cell or atom, and He communicates with us on the smallest level–smaller than we can imagine. He goes after the one lost lamb out of the large flock. Nothing is too small or too great for our God.
M Mem is the closing letter of God’s primary name. It denotes plurality coming at the end so we know God is an infinite Being who is capable of revealing Himself to us in an infinite number of ways, and He has numerous personal names He reveals to us in our relationship with Him. It means ‘waters’ which is what creation first began as, as His breath hovered over the waters. Mem at the end of words looks like a box, while at the beginning it is wavy and twisting, like flowing water. As far as water can flow and seep, there is God containing it all. All is encompassed by God, the upper waters and the lower waters.
