Wording of this Handout:


The Lord my Peace.

The fifth name was given of God is Jehovah Shalom which means the Lord sends peace.

This name was given when an angel visited Gideon. The angel came to Gideon with a message - that he, Gideon, was about to lead and Israelite army against a mighty enemy force. Gideon was uncertain as to whether this would really happen so he asked the angel for a sign to confirm the message (Judges 6:24)

The angel told Gideon to make a meal and place it on a rock. Gideon did so and the angel touched the meal with staff he was carrying. Instantly fire "came up out of the rock." burning the food as a sacrifice. Then the angel disappeared.

Gideon was amazed that he ha seen and angel face to face and loved to talk about it! He was expecting to die at any moment..... but God spoke and told him not to be afraid. It was a this point that Gideon built and altar and called it Jehovah Shalom.

He called it this because God was a peace with him.

The Bible says: "Great peace have they which love your law and nothing shall offend (harm) them." Psalm 119:165
