Jehovah Nissi (12 of 15)
Series: What a wonderful name

Exodus 16-17
Do you know the name Colin Kaepernick? The former NFL Quarterback for the San Francisco 49ners made headlines in 2016 for sitting or taking a knee as the National Anthem played. Weeks' later, other athletes followed suit in solidarity.

It was in that water crisis and cure that God reveals Himself to them as Jehovah Rophe, the God who heals! Then the chapter c ...
