Here's something interesting that I just learned.
"12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name."-Revelation 3:12
This verse on its surface would make you think that you will theoretically have 3 different names written on you. But that's not so. You will have 1 NAME written on you. How can this be? The first thing is to identify the new name of Jesus.
"In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteousness."-Jeremiah 23:6
In that day when Jesus will have delivered them out of the north country and saved Judah and Israel(read the chapter for context).....He will be called THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. What's interesting about this?
"In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness."-Jeremiah 33:16
Jerusalem will ALSO be called THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Just as the temple of God in the old testament bear the name of God upon it...so shall that Holy City also be called by God's name. And because we've identified the name of Jesus and of the city....we can easily identify it as the same as the name of the Father.
"And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one."-Zechariah 14:9
If the Lord will have only ONE name and there shall only be ONE LORD, then we know....that what is written upon us is the same for all 3 statements in Revelation chapter 3. Only one name is written upon you.
THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS!
