Matthew 28:19 formulates the "Name" of the "Father" and "Son" and "Holy Spirit."

Revelation 3:12 formulates the "Name" of "God" and "New Jerusalem" and Jesus' "new name."

NB. Mathew has Father and Son, Revelation has God and Jesus.

Any and all serious answers are appreciated. Thanks.

Idle speculation or theorizing will not be appreciated quite as much.

First of all, Jesus is speaking in both places, So what was the information involved in each of his statements.



(Matthew 28:18-20) 18 And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”



On this, the reason for the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit was that he said they were to go to the most distant parts of the earth. While the Jews and the proselytes were ones joining up to this point in time, (These knew the Father and the Holy Spirit. The only new thing to them was who the Messiah or Christ was)



But when the ministry reached out those foreign lands, the people there would not know any of the aspects of the faith that the Christians would be preaching. (Look at the account of Paul before the Greeks in Acts). They would have to know the importance and parts that the Father, Son, and the holy spirit would play in this new faith.





(Revelation 3:12) 12 “‘The one that conquers—I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out [from it] anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which descends out of heaven from my God, and that new name of mine.



Now, this references those that had lived and conquered by means of their faith. Clearly they know what was delivered to them provided the basis for the faith. They are rewarded with the name of "my God", Jesus' Father, the name of New Jerusalem, (of which they became members of) and the new name of Jesus.



(Revelation 14:1) And I saw, and, look! the Lamb standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.



(Revelation 19:12) His eyes are a fiery flame, and upon his head are many diadems. He has a name written that no one knows but he himself,



(Revelation 22:4) and they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.



For all eternity, these conquerors will be special among all creation.





23 "These conquerors have written on them the name of Jehovah—their God and Jesus’ God. This shows clearly that Jehovah and Jesus are two separate persons and not two parts of a triune God, or Trinity. (John 14:28; 20:17) All creation must come to see that these anointed ones belong to Jehovah. They are his witnesses. They also have written on them the name of the new Jerusalem, the heavenly city that descends out of heaven in the sense that it extends its benevolent rule over all faithful mankind. (Revelation 21:9-14) All the earthly Christian sheep will thus also know that these anointed conquerors are citizens of the Kingdom, the heavenly Jerusalem.—Psalm 87:5, 6; Matthew 25:33, 34; Philippians 3:20; Hebrews 12:22.



24 Finally, anointed overcomers have written on them Jesus’ new name. This refers to Jesus’ new office and the unique privileges granted to him by Jehovah. (Philippians 2:9-11; Revelation 19:12) No one else gets to know that name, in the sense that no one else has those experiences or is entrusted with those privileges. However, when Jesus writes his name on his faithful brothers, they come into an intimate relationship with him in that heavenly realm and even share in his privileges. (Luke 22:29, 30) It is no wonder that Jesus concludes his message to such anointed ones by repeating the exhortation: “Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations.”—Revelation 3:13."



So, the correlation shows the importance place on knowing God, and Jesus Christ. The roles that they have, Jehovah God as the Father and Provider of the provision of his Son, Jesus, and the important position that his Father has placed him in. (John 17:3) Jesus received a new name one of honor and position that he did not have before.



These facts all must be understood if they are to serve God completely. You can't serve God with incomplete or faulty knowledge.

Simply put

the "NAME OF " the Father would be JESUS

the " NAME OF " the Son would be JESUS

the " NAME OF" the Holy Ghost would be JESUS



HE came in His Fathers Name what Name did HE use ? JESUS!!

What does the " NAME OF " JESUS mean ? GOD WITH US !!



He has MANY Titles , Many Attributes ,BUT ONLY One Name and that's JESUS .

For there is NO OTHER NAME under heaven given among men whereby WE Must Be Saved.ONLY at the Name of JESUS is their Salvation.For there is NO Salvation in ANY OTHER !!!



At the Time of the End

He will have a New Name

that only He Himself knows

And We shall be called by that New Name

His Bride(his Chosen people) takes the Grooms(Jesus') Name

HE Himself is the ONLY ONE Who knows His Name till then!!!



Isa 62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a NEW NAME, which the mouth of the LORD shall name .



Rev 3:12 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.



Rev 19:13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and HIS NAME is called THE WORD OF GOD



1Ti 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, [who is] the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;



Rev 19:16 And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

The books were written by different authors at different times. My speculation is that each author was unaware of what the other had written. (The New Testament was put together after 300 Common Era, a long time after the words were written).



My speculation is that they were basically writing words to sound lofty and important.
