YAHWEH ROPHE

Name in English Translation: the LORD who heals you
Hebrew name: Rophe – [ro' phay] What it means
Rophe means to heal. All through the Old Testament God and sometimes His servants heal. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ and His disciples heal.
Usually, healing is associated with God. Elijah is said to have healed the alter of the LORD (1 Kings 18:30). And the Word of God is said to have healed the people from their afflictions (Psalm 107:20).
Rophe healing is most often associated with physical healing. The household of Abimelech was rophe healed from barrenness so they could have children again (Genesis 20:17-18). Miriam was rophe healed from leprosy (Numbers 12:13). The people of the city of Gath were rophe healed of tumors (1 Samuel 6:3). King Hezekiah was rophe healedd from his illness (2 Kings 20:5-8).
Rophe healing also applies to other things besides people. Elijah rophe healed the alter (1 Kings 18:30). God can rophe heal the land (2 Chronicles 7:14). Elisha said that Yahweh rophe healed the water so it was wholesome and drinkable (2 Kings 2:21).
Rophe healing is most often associated with the physical healing of people. But it also applies to conditions of the human heart. The LORD Yahweh rophe heals the broken hearted (Psalm 147:3). Broken hearted means that your deepest feelings are made into separate parts. Your continuity of feeling is broken.
The LORD Yahweh God rophe heals backsliding (Jeremiah 3:22). Backsliding means to go back to my old (bad) ways of acting. The implication is that at one time I was acting in a way that please the LORD. That I know the difference between good and bad, right and wrong.
The LORD Yahweh rophe heals people from uncleanness (2 Chronicles 30:20). LORD Yahweh can rophe heal the uncleanness of the soul. This is the initial rophe healing that we all experience when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. Jesus rophe heals the heart and soul of sin.
Another interesting concept related to rophe healing is that Yahweh sometimes wounds me so that He can heal me. Sometimes He needs to wound me to get my attention. Once He gets my attention, I can confess my sins and restore my relationship with Him. Then He can rophe heal me. Here are some examples. When the Philistines took the ark of God, He wounded them with tumors. Then He healed them (1 Samuel 6:3). Isaiah said that the LORD heals the wounds he inflicted (Isaiah 30:26). Hosea explained that “the LORD has torn us to pieces but he will heal us;” (Hosea 6:1)
David said that being afflicted was a good thing for him (Psalm 119:67,71).
