'For My Name' in the Bible

Be attentive to him and listen to his voice. Do not defy him, because he will not forgive your acts of rebellion, for My name is in him.

He will build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

So I plan to build a temple for the name of Yahweh my God, according to what the Lord promised my father David: ‘I will put your son on your throne in your place, and he will build the temple for My name.’

But the Lord said to my father David,“Since it was your desire to build a temple for My name,you have done well to have this desire.

Yet you are not the one to build it;instead, your son, your own offspring,will build it for My name.”

I will cut off Israel from the land I gave them, and I will reject the temple I have sanctified for My name. Israel will become an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples.

but the word of the Lord came to me: ‘You have shed much blood and waged great wars. You are not to build a house for My name because you have shed so much blood on the ground before Me.

He is the one who will build a house for My name. He will be My son, and I will be his father. I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’

but God said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for My name because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’

However, Yahweh said to my father David,“Since it was your desire to build a temple for My name,you have done well to have this desire.

Yet, you are not the one to build the temple,but your son, your own offspring,will build the temple for My name.”

then I will uproot Israel from the soil that I gave them, and this temple that I have sanctified for My name I will banish from My presence; I will make it an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples.

“For My name will be great among the nations, from the rising of the sun to its setting. Incense and pure offerings will be presented in My name in every place because My name will be great among the nations,” says Yahweh of Hosts.

I will show him how much he must suffer for My name!”
