Everything has almost come to pass as far end time prophesy for our generation. There are a group of people who have been preaching “the good news of the kingdom” for a long time now.Take the time to find out what that ‘good news” is then you will see that it is very important to use the name of Jehovah in all of your prayers.

Jesus tells us to go to all the world preaching the Gospel and to Baptise the new beleivers in the name of the Father, and the name of the Son and in the name of the Holy Spirit. So why then did the disciples in the book of Acts, baptise the new believers in the name of Jesus? What is the name of the Holy Spirit? If Jesus is not God, then explain John 1:1-4,14 and Colossians 1:14-22 and John 8:58 where Jesus told those overly religious folks, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and if you don’t know who the Holy Spirit is read John Chapters 14-16, Jesus tells us in John 14:18, “I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you.” No one had to tell me who God is, His Word told me! Jesus tells all who doubt his diety , just like He told Phillip in John 14:9, “Jesus saith unto him(and to all of us!), Have I been so long time with you,and yet hast thou not known me, Phillip(insert your name there for an eye opener!)? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father: and how sayest thou then, shew us the Father?” And finally look at Revelation 1:8, Jesus tells us who He is again,” I AM Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” JESUS IS THE I AM, HE IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD!

ALL OF THE SCRIPTURES POINT TO JEHOVAH as being the true God. DO NOT LET THIS FACT ESCAPE YOU. The meaning of his name means “HE CAUSES TO BECOME” It is late into the last days, and we must both know and honor his name, because he deserves this respect.I am a person [woman], and I have a name. Why would’nt we give God this respect and call him by his name? JEHOVAH’S name is beautiful and soon we will see the love and power of this God who chooses to distinguish himself with a name for his people. PLEASE SEEK HIM WHILE THE ‘SEASON IS FAVORABLE’.

i just wanna say that gods true name is jehovah god not jesus christ.jesus christ is jehovah gods first creation and jesus christ has a begining and jehovah god has no begining so you tell me which one sounds more like god.god has a name and it is jehovah god is just a title thats why his name is jehovah.Satan is the devil and he is trying to fool you people into believing that god has no name because he knows he will get destroyed when the time comes that jevovah destroys all wicked people.So dont fall into the trap know that gods name is jehovah and try to get into the truth before it is to late start going to the kingdom hall because it is in tour heart not because your scared of the future.The kingdom hall is jehovah gods home.

“Yah” is an abbreviation for Y’HoVaH which in Hebrew means you take the first letter and last letter (and its vowel) giving you Y + aH. You cannot take that single instance and say that all 7000+ instances where the full 4 letters YHVH or even 3 letters YHV appear at the start of a name should also be YAH—. Hebrew does not work that way.

As far as Yahweh goes, it too is not based on the rules of Biblical Hebrew since if you have 4 such consonants you must have 3 vowels or one between each pairing. And again, Yahweh would not have been even invented if people had not made the mistake of thinking the vowels in all the texts were replaced with ADONAI’s vowels–which is not the case. The texts have enough information preserved to deduct what the obviously erased middle vowel was without going to less reliable external sources such as is done to come up with Yahweh.

I THINK THIS IS A GREAT ARTICLE. HOWEVER, I DO BELIEVE THAT THE FIRST PART OF GOD’S NAME IS YAH NOT YEH. I WILL GIVE YOU TWO BIBLICAL REASONS WHY I THINK THIS IS SO:

1) THE USAGE OF THE HEBREW WORD FOR PRAISE TO GOD IS
HALLELUJAH OR HALLELUYAH.

2) THERE IS A PASSAGE IN THE BIBLE, BUT I DO NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHERE THAT IS. JERUSALEM IS BESEIGED AND THE COMMANDER OF THE ENEMY DERIDES IN ARAMAIC THE GOD OF ISRAEL BY SAYING “WILL YAH DELIVER YOU?”

WELL!!!!
WHAT YOU SAY MAKES SENSE ALSO. I believe we all need to meet the high priest himself to know for sure. In the Hebrew YHWH IS USED OVER 6000 times the closest I can get is Exodus 3:14 wher the first I am is HaYah and the 2nd I am is HaWah Strong’s 1961 and 1933. Looks like each person
will have to decide what to use….

Jesus said he came in his father’s name and Yehovah was an errant translation by Petris Gaddius around 1522. used 7 times only wheras YAHWAH IS used over 6000 times. makes more sense to me.
