Hebrew Word Picture for LORD

The name for Jehovah is contrived from the consonants JHVH known as Yod, He, Vav, He.  These consonants in the original pictoral language were pictures of a hand, someone saying behold, a nail, and someone saying behold.  The pictures literally say,” what comes from the nail revealed in the heart of the hand.”  Here is a complete prophetic picture of Jesus’ arm outstretched on the cross pierced through with a nail. 
No greater proof is really needed to understand the connection between Jesus and his DIVINITY AS LORD.  But even so the name for Jesus is Jod, Shine, Vav, Ayin.  Aagain the Jod, & Vav are repeated, but literally translated we could say, ‘The hand that destroys, secures wisdom & experience.  Isn’t that what salvation is?
Other Hebrew pictoral names of God are equally informative.  Jesus said he is the first and the last.  The first letter, Alef, is an ox head and reminds us of the numerous oxen that were sacrificed for mankind’s behalf.  The last letter, Tav, is a cross representing c covenant.  ‘Jesus is the sacrifice on the cross that brings us our redeeming covenant.’
Also check out the more indepth description of Elloheim.
The letters for Adonai are a picture of the sacrificial ox, a doorway and a symbol for life; we can see that ‘the sacrifice is the doorway to life’.
