MEANING: It shall be seen, it shall be provided; a sense of foreseeing, seer, prophet.

JEHOVAH-JIREH is a kind of seeing that is different from Elohim, all-knowing. This kind of seeing means foreseeing his prevision. Prevision is the noun form of “seeing beforehand.” Thus to God, prevision is followed with provision, FOR HE WILL CERTAINLY PROVIDE FOR THAT NEED WHICH HIS FORE-SEEING SHOWS TO EXIST. With Him, prevision and provision are one and the same thing.

The name JEHOVAH-JIREH arose out of the instance of Jehovah’sprovision of a substitute for Isaac, whom He had commanded Abraham to sacrifice upon the altar. The name stands for Jehovah’s excellent provision for man’s redemption in the sacrifice of His only begotten Son, Jesus. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, who was offered upon the very spot where Abraham had predicted: “in the mount of the Lord it will be provided.”

JEHOVAH-JIREH is to us the One who provides the sacrificial Lamb of God for our redemption.

Recognize that your fight is not with flesh and blood but with the powers of darkness and Satan’s spiritual rulers of this age. This age (world)has become the battleground between these satanic forces and humankind. Therefore, you are not fighting against people you know or with whom you come in contact in your daily life. Instead, the enemy may harass you by stirring up strife in the lives of people close to you to deter you from prayer and intercessional battle.
