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?
Barne's did not mentioned a single name but names where Jesus stand alone.
[And given him a name which is above every name] No other name can be compared with his. It stands alone. He only is Redeemer, Saviour. He only is Christ, the Anointed of God; see the notes at Heb 1:4. He only is the Son of God. His rank, his titles, his dignity, are above all others; see this illustrated in the notes at Eph 1:20-21.
(from Barnes' Notes.)
Jesus can't be God and also his own Son. Barnes finds himself contradictory in this. Jesus is definitely the Son of God, not God, and his name is higher than anyone on Earth. Everyone will show him the highest respect and honor, with the one exception, of course, being the Father that GAVE Jesus that name and position. The Father is the most high and has always been and always will be. (Psalm 83:18, KJV) Jesus comes in second. He is fine with that. (John 14:24; John 14:28; I Corinthians 11:3; Revelation 3:12)
You will notice in Philippians 2:9,10 that everything associated with Jesus is
to the glory of God the Father.
Even the Jewish NT Commentary believe that Jesus the Messiah is YHWH. Meaning God.
Philippians 2:9-11
God has given him the name, that is, the character and authority, above every name (v. 9). In vv. 10-11 Sha’ul reveals the extraordinary fact that this name above every name is
Adonai! He states, moreover, that the day is coming when every tongue will acknowledge it—angelic (in heaven), human (on earth) and demonic (under the earth).
Yeshua the Messiah is Adonai (Greek kurios). As explained at Mt 1:20 N, the Greek word “kurios” can mean anything from the tetragrammaton (YHVH, “Jehovah,” the personal name of God, rendered “Adonai” in the Jewish New Testament) to “Lord” (in the sense of God as universal ruler) to “lord” (in the human sense) to merely “sir” (a respectful form of address). Because Isaiah 45:23, which in its own context applies to YHVH, is quoted in v. 10 in reference to Yeshua, I believe this verse teaches that
Yeshua the Messiah is YHVH and not only “Lord” in a lesser sense.
