Philippians 2:9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father
.
What is the name above all names?
The name above ALL names is the Father's---Jehovah. He is the
Most High, Psalm 83:18, KJV. Peter quoted from the Hebrew Scriptures (the Old Testament) at Acts 2:21. The Hebrew Scripture that he quoted is
Joel 2:32.
Peter said: "It shall be, everyone---whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved." (Acts 2:21) (Young's Literal Translation)
He quoted from Joel 2:32: "Everyone who calleth in the name of Jehovah is delivered." (Young's Literal Translation; the American Standard Bible)
Jesus' name is above any person
under heaven. Jehovah's name is above every name in heaven and on Earth. Jesus' name is specifically compared to the names of men. Jehovah's name is higher than all names. Indeed, the scripture you quoted from Philippians 2:9 shows that everything Jesus did was
for Jehovah's glory (God the Father). He himself would say that God's name is the most important. (John 17:6,26)
