What is God? "No one should begin to define what is beyond definition. Keys of Enoch..."
Hi, and thank you for joining me here at 144Judah! Today is a special day for those of you that don't know the real name of God. And why is that? Well...back in the day, the Jews didn't think that we should be saying the real name of God out loud because that was concidered to them blasphemous. So, they took out the personal relationship with God, and put the word LORD in place of Yahweh. LORD is the title, but YAHWEH is His name, and from the last blog we know that there is POWER in a NAME!
"Yahweh" is the personal name of God in the Bible. Called the Tetragrammaton, it is composed of four letters, no vowels. The Hebrew letters are Yod, Hey, Vav, Hey, read right to left in the Hebrew (see above), left to right in English (YHWH).
Yod
Yod is the smallest letter of the Hebrew alphabet and is masculine in gender. It portrays the symbol of an entire hand, or closed hand, from the wrist to the fingertips. This is distinguished from another letter, kaf, that means "palm."
Hey
Hey is feminine and means "to behold," "show" or "reveal."
Vav
Vav is masculine and signifies a nail, peg or hook, signifying being nailed or bound together.
So when read in Hebrew, right to left, God's name means:
"Behold the Nail, Behold the Hand"
It gets even better when you combine the meaning of the individual letters with the overall meaning of the word—Yahweh, YHWH, which means "Salvation," then it basically translates:
"Behold, the nailed hand is salvation."
"...they will look upon Me whom they have pierced" Zech 12:10
Afterall, Yeshua did tell us that he is the ALPHA and OMEGA... HE IS THE WORD! THE LOGOS!
