Who is in a name?
If you held the burden of naming yourself so that a people for your name would understand something about you and be able to identify you uniquely, what name would you use? What if you were an eternally existing being that could not be seen by His human creation; you were love, you could not lie, and by definition eternal means you cannot die, what would name your existence?
Perhaps the last human to know much about you died before the flood, Adam. Eight humans in an ark carried your identity and shared what they understood from the oral history of their father Adam. Between generations you were explained in oral history. You might have even received recognition from the monarchs of later generations. (The ark survivors' children, for instance.) These could only list you as an unnamed God among many they worshiped.
When the true God introduced himself to Moses through an angel in the curiosity of the burning bush, He did so because it was necessary. Moses was the instrument for delivering Abraham's seed from Egypt and recording the first books of the Bible. With Moses came our first written record of our Creator the true God. (The book of Job is included here.) And, also, what role a fornicator (Satan) played in destroying humanity's perfection giving us sin.
The God worshiped by mac Dukes she explains as; the God of Jesus who is the true God. What about the name Jehovah? Satan did a tremendous job of inserting a name in the Bible, recorded by Young as happening in only four KJV scriptures to replace "the LORD." It was not until after 1880 that this 'divine name' became a part of our modern culture. Is this name divine? Anything belonging to a God or god is divine according to Oxford. (We like Oxford.)
Where is wealth when it comes to the name of the true God? Israel. YHVH's preserved insights are in the scholarly pages of the Jewish Study Bible. Wait, isn't YHVH Jehovah? No. What is Jehovah? It is, in essence, an anagram. Men who built a religious order on the Satanic seeking of dates -- not deeds for fulfilment of the true God's will -- and times to build a faith on, with measures of truth but twisted reasoning, glommed onto the few occurrences of "Jehovah" in the King James (Jesse James) Bible and ran amok with it. The name Jehovah owes itself to taking the consonants YHVH and inserting the vowels e-o-a between the consonants.
YHVH is the left to right lettering of the Tetragrammaton. (Read Hebrew right to left). Bibles' translate YHVH as "the LORD" -- ORD in smaller font -- in English. Adonai, "my Lord", replaces YHVH is well. Adonai entered the Jewish culture after Jesus' death. What is wrong with the anagram created mixing YHVH with some vowels for annunciation? Look at what is created with the name Jehovah.
The actual Tetragrammaton is best enunciated as, "Yahveh" from "yod-he-waw-he." It is also often written, YHWH. "W" is considered a more precise replacement of the "V" for annunciation. Why didn't we just use, Yahweh? Well, let us look at the anagram Jehovah. First, h-v-h is from YHVH. Then according the the Jewish study Bible, the vowels from Adoni were inserted. (And reversed left to right). Why the reverse inserted vowels, a-o-e when Adonai has the vowels; a-o-a-i? Adone is taken from the Greek Adonis and is Italian, meaning the male.
YHVH is "He who causes things to Be". Appropriate for a Creator. Now jumble on top of YHVH the male vowels e-o-a and we have created the penile amalgam; He who causes things to Be on the male. We mapped YHVH to the genital member, penis. Congratulations humanity, with the name Jehovah we have been calling the God of Israel, a "dick." (Hear Jehovah's laughter.)
