Answer 1

Actually, the Hebrew letters which represent the divine name "Jehovah" are found in the bible nearly 7000 (seven thousand) times; the four Hebrew letters corresponding to "YHWH" are called "the Tetragrammaton" or "the Tetragram".

The bible book of Isaiah clearly connects this "Jehovah"/Tetragrammaton with the Almighty God and demonstrates that He alone is called by Scripture as the first and the last.

(Isaiah 44:6) “This is what Jehovah has said, the King of Israel and the Repurchaser of him, Jehovah of armies, ‘I am the first and I am the last, and besides me there is no God.

(Isaiah 41:4) Who has been active and has done this, calling out the generations from the start? “I, Jehovah, the First One; and with the last ones I am the same.”

(Isaiah 48:12) “Listen to me, O Jacob, and you Israel my called one. I am the same One. I am the first. Moreover, I am the last.

In Revelation, a parallel expression is used. The expression "the Alpha and the Omega" is used exclusively with reference to Almighty Jehovah the Father (no authentic Scripture calls Jesus by this title).

(Revelation 21:5-7) And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” ...And he said to me: “They have come to pass! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To anyone thirsting I will give from the fountain of the water of life free. Anyone conquering will inherit these things, and I shall be his God and he will be my son.

(Revelation 22:13) I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

Answer 2

God's name Jehovah is in his word the Bible, over 7000 times in many verses throughout the Bible, but it has been removed from Bible translations in the foreword it used to say that the /name Jehovah had been replaced with Lord or God read this in the fore word of several translations, the only scriptures that it was left in were(Psalm83:18 ; Exodus6:3 ; Isaiah12:2 ; Isaiah26:4) only in these 4 verses was it left in place in the King James Bible version and some other versions but every other verse with God's name was removed it was stated in the foreword about this but I saw this in the foreword over 20 years ago so if you have an older Bible it should be there because the newer Bibles they have managed to remove God's name in all of the Bible years ago I even found God's name Jehovah in my School dictionary under Jehovah it said OT principal name of God OT meaning Old Testament That is why when I first found out about God's name I found it very strange that I had never heard that name before that is why I searched to see if this was truly his name and why I never heard it if it was well this is what I found as to why this is the case, and if you also looked in the Bible like I did and you did so nowadays,and ou did not find it because it has been totaly removed and so has the explanation in the forword But obviously these translators omit to notice or even read what (Revelation22:18 19) says!

Answer 3

No one today can be certain how the name was originally pronounced in Hebrew, as Biblical Hebrew was originally written with only consonants, no vowels. When the language was in everyday use, readers easily provided the proper vowels. In time, however, the Jews came to have a superstition that it was wrong to say God's personal name so they used substitute expressions. Many scholars favor the spelling Yahweh, but it is uncertain and there is not agreement among them . On the other hand, Jehovah is the form of the name that is most easily recognized, because it has been used in English for centuries and preserves, equally with other forms, the four consonants of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton. In the Bible itself, somewhere around the beginning of the second century the use of surrogates must have crowded out the Tetragram in both the Testaments.

Answer 4

Here are what some sources say about the word: 'Jehovah'
(correct pronunciation of god's name is: Yahweh)

Webster's Collegiate Dictionary: "Jehovah" -- False reading of the Hebrew YAHWEH.

Encyclopedia Americana: "Jehovah" -- erroneous form of the name of the God of Israel.

Encyclopedia Britannica: The Masoretes who from the 6th to the 10th century worked to reproduce the original text of the Hebrew Bible replaced the vowels of the name YHWH with the vowel signs of Adonai or Elohim. Thus the artificial name Jehovah came into being.

The Jewish Encyclopedia: "Jehovah" -- a mispronunciation of the Hebrew YHWH the name of God. This pronunciation is grammatically impossible.

The New Jewish Encyclopedia: It is clear that the word Jehovah is an artificial composite.

*****According to the Encyclopedia Judaica, p. 680, vol. 7, "the true pronunciation of the tetragrammaton YHWH was never lost. The name was pronounced Yahweh. It was regularly pronounced this way at least until 586 B.C., as is clear from the Lachish Letters written shortly before this date."

Answer 5

Jehovah, Jesus, Jehu, Jeremiah come to english by way of german.

The German "J" sounds like the hebrew "Y"
and the German "V" sounds like the hebre "W"

So in German bibles God's name was spelled JHVH.

Since English is related to German and not Hebrew, when translating in English early bible translators used the German lettering, Thus we say Jesus, Jehu, and Jehovah.

German professor Gustav Friedrich Oehler discussed various pronunciations and concluded: “From this point onward I use the word Jehovah, because, as a matter of fact, this name has now become more naturalized in our vocabulary, and cannot be supplanted.”—Theologie des Alten Testaments (Theology of the Old Testament), second edition, published in 1882, page 143.

Similarly, in his Grammaire de l’hébreu biblique (Grammar of Biblical Hebrew), 1923 edition, in a footnote on page 49, Jesuit scholar Paul Joüon states: “In our translations, instead of the (hypothetical) form Yahweh, we have used the form Jéhovah . . . which is the conventional literary form used in French.”

The Jerusalem Bible, though preferring “Yahweh” to “Jehovah,” makes a strong point for using it instead of “Lord.” The preface of that translation states: “To say, ‘The Lord is God’ is surely a tautology [a needless repetition], as to say ‘Yahweh is God’ is not.”

Wolfgang Feneberg comments in the Jesuit magazine Entschluss/Offen (April 1985): “He [Jesus] did not withhold his father’s name YHWH from us, but he entrusted us with it. It is otherwise inexplicable why the first petition of the Lord’s Prayer should read: ‘May your name be sanctified!’” Feneberg further notes that “in pre-Christian manuscripts for Greek-speaking Jews, God’s name was not paraphrased with kýrios [Lord], but was written in the tetragram form [YHWH] in Hebrew or archaic Hebrew characters. . . . We find recollections of the name in the writings of the Church Fathers;

Answer 6

Yes, it is, God has many names. The word Jehovah occurs exactly 7 times in the word of God (Genesis 22:14, Exodus 6:3, Exodus 17:15, Judges 6:24, Psalm 83:18, Isaiah 12:2, and Isaiah 26:4).

Two things happened to change this situation. First, a superstitious idea arose among the Jews that it was wrong to say the divine name out loud; so when they came to it in their Bible reading they uttered the Hebrew word 'Adho·nai' ("Sovereign Lord"). Further, as time went by, the ancient Hebrew language itself ceased to be spoken in everyday conversation, and in this way the original Hebrew pronunciation of God's name was eventually forgotten.

In order to ensure that the pronunciation of the Hebrew language as a whole would not be lost, Jewish scholars of the second half of the first millennium C.E. invented a system of points to represent the missing vowels, and they placed these around the consonants in the Hebrew Bible. Thus, both vowels and consonants were written down, and the pronunciation as it was at that time was preserved.

When it came to God's name, instead of putting the proper vowel signs around it, in most cases they put other vowel signs to remind the reader that he should say 'Adho·nai'. From this came the spelling Iehouah, and, eventually, Jehovah became the accepted pronunciation of the divine name in English. This retains the essential elements of God's name from the Hebrew original.

Answer 7

Look in the Bible in
Psalms 83:18

That is the name of God which is Jehovah.
If the Bible ur looking at says something like-- the lord is name the lord....think about it ...does that make sense?..some Bible translations take out God's name in many places.

Answer 8

Look in the preface or appendix of your copy of the Bible. About 99% of all Bibles acknowledge that God's name Jehovah is REMOVED from the Bible and replaced with LORD (all caps) to differentiate it from Jesus where it is Lord (only first letter capped).

Answer 9

Because God chose it.

Jehovah: Exod 6:3, Ps. 83:18, Isa. 12:2, and Isa. 26:4.

Plus words that end in "jah" like Hallelujah, mean "praise Jehovah" etc. So any word ending with "jah" in the Bible refers to Jehovah's Name, such as Elijah (meaning, "My God is Jehovah.") Also, in the Original Hebrew Texts, Jehovah's name (the Tetragrammaton) was used over 6,000 times. However, good gay King James left it in only 4 times. : ) Serious.

Also, when Christ taught us to pray on the night before he died at the Last Supper, the FIRST thing he taught us was "Hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come" the tetragrammaton has no vowels, because Hebrew had no vowels. Therefore Jehovah is as close as we can come to a "correct" pronunciation of his name. THIS IS GOD THE FATHER!

Basically, man has gone through 3 stages with Jehovah God.

Stage 1) He was called "El" or God and this lasted until Moses when he declared himself the I AM god, or YHWH or JHVH. Both equally correct, btw. He started out as a Tribal God to the family of Adam, Noah and then Abraham. Then on down to Egypt when he bacame a God of a Nation.

This is why we have names like "Michael, Gabriel, and others." Micha"el" means = Who is Like God? While Gabri"el" means "God is my strength."


Stage 2) This lasted until Christ died on the cross and he was still God of the Jews. However, on Pentecost (Acts Chpt. 2) he became God to the World. That is to anyone that would accept the sacrifice of his son, Christ Jesus (real name was more like Yeheshua). However Jesus is the Anglicized version.


Stage 3) From Christ to now. Each of these Stages lasted/lasts different. The stage from Moses to Christ is only around 1,300 years. While we have had 2,000 years or so. However, we have all the combined wisdom of the 2 before written down in the Holy Bible.


So, no, Jesus is extremely SEPERATE from Jehovah. One is the Father, the other is the Son and sits at his fathers right hand.

GOD’S NAME

The Massorah has a rubric calling attention to these first 4 acrostics. This locks in the name of God according to Hebrew and Biblical scholars. The name also being spelled backwards for Divine reasons, a subject for another time.

Est.1:20 And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.
( shall give to their husbands honour both to great and small ) Hebrew ( Hi Vekal Hannashim Yittenu ) HVHY

Est.5:4 And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
( let the king and Haman come this day ) Hebrew ( Yabo Hammelek Vehaman Hayyom ) YHVH

Est.5:13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
( this availeth me nothing ) Hebrew ( zeH eynennV shoveH leY ) HVHY

Est.7:7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
( that there was evil determined against him ) Hebrew ( kY kalethaH elayV haraaH ) YHVH

Also a 5th acrostic of “ I am”, ( I am that I am ) Hebrew ( ehyeh asher ehyeh ) Exo.3:14
Est.7:5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
( Who is he, and where is he ) Hebrew ( huE zeH veeY zeH ) EHYH “I am”

The Massorah has a special rubric calling attention this acroustic.
Psa.96:11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
Hebrew ( Yismehu Hashshamayim Vethagel Haarez ) YHVH
