Over the centuries, Israel's faith was able to manifest and deepen realization of the riches contained in the revelation of the divine name. God is unique; there are no other gods besides him.[24]

He transcends the world and history. He made heaven and earth: "They will perish, but you endure; they will all wear out like a garment....but you are the same, and your years have no end."[25]

In God "there is no variation or shadow due to change."[26] God is "HE WHO IS", from everlasting to everlasting, and as such remains ever faithful to himself and to his promises.
