Devotional The Father’s Name John 17:11 Strong's # 3962

Our Father stated His name repeatedly in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, the translators refused to use it and instead called Him father and lord.

Good morning,
Yes, I have. I'd like to refer you to this:

Good Day Outcast, Thank you for the above,
Yehovah Yehovah -

The Eternal -

God of the Old Testament -

God of Israel.

It is popularly accepted that this ancient Hebrew name refers exclusively to God our Father in Heaven -

And that it was He -

Who had first appeared to Abraham and later to Moses and all the prophets of ancient Israel.

But is that what scripture reveals?

Before we explore God's Word to ascertain this truth, let us first consider the origin of His Holy name -

A name so sacred that it could not even be spoken out loud by the people of ancient Israel.

In the Hebrew scriptures it was represented by four letters called the "Tetragrammaton".

In it's earlier written form, Hebrew didn't contain vowels -

So this sacred name would be represented in English by the four letters - YHVH.

Since the vowels of the sacred name are not indicated and the name wasn't spoken out loud for centuries, the exact pronunciation has been lost.

Love, Walter

Well, friend, there was no problem pre-resurrection with using Yahweh's name. Refusing to use His announced name is a product of translation into Latin done by the church of Rome. The interlinear scriptures have no problem with using the Father's name. (Those who want to confuse those who seek to know the One True God fail to distinguish between the Father and His Son by the overuse of the word "lord."}

In the Hebrew Bible -the Old Testament - God is referred to with a number of different titles. Sometimes he is called God (Hebrew word is El or the plural form of that word, ELOHIM). Sometimes, Shaddai is used meaning The Almighty or Adonai meaning Lord. But the Father often used His personal name. He has a name - יהוה (in English letters, YHWH).

The Father claims that there is no other God, and He told His prophets His Name. While I am uncertain how 4000-year-old Israelites would pronounce it, I'm certain the Father knows who I mean.

Well! My friend, I thank you for your input.
