Unveiling the Name of Jesus

About the Book

Unveiling the Name of Jesus: A Guide to Understanding the Jehovaistic Titles explores the source of power behind the name given to Our Savior and King, Jesus the Christ, by analyzing some of the names and titles given to the God of the Old Testament. By comparing the purpose of these names with the attributes demonstrated by Jesus, the book demonstrates the equality of Christ with the Almighty God. Through the study of such aspects of God as His steadfastness, power, righteousness, authority, and his ability to provide for His own, the reader can compare the instances where God exhibited these attributes with the same qualities shown in Christ in His role as Savior and Redeemer. The resultant analysis by the author establishes the Deity of Christ and substantiates the claim that He indeed is truly the God of the Old Testament, as His name encompasses all the titles and names of God as written in the Scriptures. The believer in Christ can be fully assured of the power inherent in the name of Jesus, that it truly stands above every other name in heaven and on the earth.

About the Author

Adrian Garret Haymond was born in Los Angeles, California, on October 9, 1963, to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Haymond. At an early age, he developed an insatiable appetite for knowledge, reading from various informational literature at the age of six, including encyclopedias and, of course, the Bible. This search led him to salvation in the name of Jesus when he was eight, which only increased his thirst for the Word of God. Called to the ministry at twelve years of age, he began a journey under the tutelage of Jesus Christ, which would enable him to explore, research, and eventually embrace the doctrine under which he received his salvation. Adrian learned at the feet of several accomplished men of faith, including Elder I. V. Harris, Suffragan Bishop Joseph Dorsey, and Bishop Howard A. Swancy, who allowed and encouraged his ministry to grow and flourish. In July 1983, he met his lifelong friend and mate, Marcy Mitchell, whom he married in November 1986, eventually resulting in a miracle of life, Chris Haymond, in 1994. In the meantime, he received his secular education at UCLA and the University of Phoenix, eventually obtaining an MBA in 2002, while also attending Aenon Bible College under the leadership of Dr. Norma Jackson as dean of the West Coast Campus. In 2015, Adrian received his ThD from Aenon School of Theology and Bible College under the guidance of Dean Mary F. Jordan. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Adrian has served in various auspices of the ministry, including youth pastor (at Holy Mission Apostolic Church) and Sunday school superintendent (at Peace Apostolic Church), working both on the local level as well as with state leaders of the California District Council of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World Inc. While serving as superintendent, the Lord impressed upon the mind of Adrian to create a treatise on the book of Revelation. The seeds of Revelation: An Apostolic Commentary were planted during his formative years, cultivated through years of study and research on Johannine prophecy and urged by what he saw as errant attempts at deciphering what many saw as a mysterious and frightening book. In Revelation: An Apostolic Commentary, Adrian presents a refreshing view of what John the Apostle saw as a message of hope in an increasingly darkened world, giving encouragement to his audience that God will eventually overcome the evil that is in this world and reward those who diligently seek him. Currently, Adrian continues in his capacity as superintendent; he also serves as an instructor for Aenon School of Theology and Bible College and has conducted Christian education seminars for various organizations and church groups. Other accomplishments include two-time State Bible Bowl Champion at the California District Council, participation in the Leadership Academy at the University of California, Irvine, and president of Zotspeak Toastmasters for the 2014–15 year. He is a family man happily married to his wife of almost twenty-nine years, and he is a devoted father, uncle, brother and Great Uncle/Grandpa to numerous nieces, nephews, and godchildren. He has no inclination of stepping away from the faith that God endued him over forty years ago.
