Answer 3

The personal name of the only true God. His own self-designation. Jehovah is the Creator and, rightfully, the Sovereign Ruler of the universe. “Jehovah” is translated from the Hebrew Tetragrammaton, הוהי, which means “He Causes to Become.” These four Hebrew letters are represented in many languages by the letters JHVH or YHWH.

The New English Bible: The name Jehovah appears at Exodus 3:15; 6:3. See also Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24; Ezekiel 48:35. (But if this and other translations use “Jehovah” in several places, why not be consistent in using it at every place where the Tetragrammaton appears in the Hebrew text?)

Revised Standard Version: A footnote on Exodus 3:15 says: “The word LORD when spelled with capital letters, stands for the divine name, YHWH.”

Today’s English Version: A footnote on Exodus 6:3 states: “THE LORD: . . . Where the Hebrew text has Yahweh, traditionally transliterated as Jehovah, this translation employs LORD with capital letters, following a usage which is widespread in English versions.”

King James Version: The name Jehovah is found at Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; 26:4. See also Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24.

American Standard Version: The name Jehovah is used consistently in the Hebrew Scriptures in this translation, beginning with Genesis 2:4.

Answer 4

God the Almightys name is Jehovah, which means He who causes to become.
Psalm 83:18; Exodus 6:3; Isaiah 12:2; 26:4

Answer 5

Incorrect sable, God is a title, but it is clearly stated that God commands our respect and request to be adressed by the name God. so, when you say G_D , you are usiing his Holy nam in vain. This is called blapshemy, and the Bible says that no blapshemer will enherit the kingdom of God, nor will those who have lied or stolen or lusted or coveted or murdered. if we have done these things we have broken Gods Holy Law. The Law is a reflection of the character of God. Therefore, to break God's law is to offend God and deny the holiness of His character, and he will Not overlook our sins, infact he has been a wittness to everything we have ever done. the epnalty for sin is hell. the good news is that Christ died for us, you broke Gods Law, but The wrath you should reciebve was pured out upon jesus instead of you. Now God Comands men and women everywhere to repent (turn from sin) and trust in christ and be saved. God has appointed a day of Righteousness, Today is the day to get right with God.
God Bless

Answer 6

Lord is a call basically as Queen is a call. Jehovah is God's call basically as Elizabeth is the Queens call. interior the old King James bible it tells you there 1000's of circumstances that God's call is Jehovah. It replaced into faraway from the bible so as that persons could think of Jesus replaced into God. He replaced into the son of Jehovah God.

Answer 7

Let us do a breakdown.
"God" is just a title, just like Doctor or Sargent is a title. Many people say that God has many names. However, the Bible says otherwise.

In the KJV of an Old English Bible, at Psalms 83:18, you will read, "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." (There are bibles who have removed God's name in it's entirety from the Bible. They may have replaced it with LORD, GOD, YAH or JAH. Note that when choosing a Bible, it will be more beneficial to you to choose a Translation, over a Version. Versions tend to be changed drastically, while translations are often a direct translation from the original texts. According to many Bible Scholars- The New World Translation is most accurate. The Byington, American Standard Version, or Kingdom Interlinear are also good for comparison when studying/reading the scriptures.) [The KJV contains God's name only 4 times while the NWT contains His name some 7,000 times as found in the original manuscripts]

Notice that the verse in Psalms calls God, Jehovah, saying that is his name alone. Jehovah is the "common English rendering of the Tetragrammaton (the four Hebrew letters for the personal name of God), which appears over 7,000 times" in the NWT. In English, the letters of the Tetragrammaton are YHWH, for in the Hebrew alphabet there are no vowels; but they appropriately added them as they read aloud or spoke. Over time, they developed a system of pronunciation points for when they were to use vowels when reading... But by that time, the Jew had developed the superstition that it was bad to say God's name. (To connect this fact with the earlier statement regarding the removal of God's name in Newer translations, many use that reason. However, although Jews felt it wrong to verbally say God's name, they never removed it from manuscripts dating even before Christ's presence.)

Now let us reason.
Take a look at 1 Kings 11:33. There it goes to mention other gods. Note that they all have names! So if these idols own names, couldn't we reason that God too has a name?

Take a look at James 4:8. There is says that if we draw close to God, he will draw close to us. Meaning, we can have a friendship with God. Can you have a friendship, a good one, with someone and you not know their name? For example, suppose you are meeting someone for the first time. One of the first things you tell them is your name, and vice versa. As years go by, the person is introducing you to one of their associates but is unable to tell them your name- not because they forgot, but because they never knew it. How would you feel? Could you really call them a friend?

1 Corinthians 8:5, 6 says there are many gods and many lords, but there is only one TRUE God (Jehovah), and one TRUE Lord, Jesus. Knowing that there are many gods, each of them have a name... If you keep saying "god", to which are you referring? For example, say you are walking down the street and someone from behind shouts out to get someone's attention and says, " hey you!" or " Guy!" or "Hey lady!"... Every 'you', 'guy', or 'lady' will turn around... But if he specifically says, "John!'', or ""Hey Lucy!", only John and Lucy merit the greeting and they will turn around.

Finally, Romans 10:13 says, "for "everyone who calls one the name of Jehovah will be saved."" Salvation lies within the knowing of God, and that includes his name.


-Many dispute the pronunciation of God's name. In English it's Jehovah. In Spanish it's Yehovah. In Hebrew it's Yahweh. In Creole it's Jewova etc.. They are all the same, but with a different pronunciation. Just like Juan and John are the same name, but in a different language.

Jehovah: The personal name of the only true God. His own self-designation.

I think the song belong sums it up quite nicely...

One Power
by Daniel Nahmod

There’s One Power, invisible, and you see it everywhere and every day.
There’s One Power, indescribable, and you speak of it in every word you say.
Mysterious until you know the truth.
As simple as the love inside of you.

Call it God, call it Spirit, call it Jesus, call it Lord,
Call it Buddha, Bahá'u'lláh, Angel’s Wings or Heaven’s Door,
But whatever name you give it, it’s all One Power, can’t you see?
It’s the power of the love in you and me.

We speak so many languages, have different clothing, different colors, different names,
But different is only dangerous when we forget that in the heart we’re all the same.
And we’ll remember when we close our eyes to see
That such distances were never meant to be.

Call it God, call it Spirit, call it Jesus, call it Lord,
Call it Buddha, Bahá'u'lláh, Angel’s Wings or Heaven’s Door.
It’s Muhammed, it’s your mind, it’s your soul or it’s your sign,
It’s the Universe, it’s music, Mother Earth or Father Time,
But whatever name you give it, it’s all One Power, can’t you see?
Whatever name you give it, it’s the very air we breathe.
It’s the power of the love in you and me.

One Power. One Power. One Power.

It’s the moment of creation.
It’s an everlasting peace.
It’s the freedom of forgiveness.
It’s the sweetness of release.
It’s the joy of inspiration.
It’s the sunshine on your face.
It’s the birthright of all nations.
It’s the boundlessness of space.
It’s the beauty of a baby,
The serenity of sleep.
It’s the anger we abandon
For it’s love that’s most deep.
It’s One Power.
It’s the power of the love that lives forever in you and me.
It’s the power of the love in you and me.

Answer 10

In Aramaic it is YHWH. In Hebrew it is Yahweh. In english it is Jehovah.

Simply take the english version and break up the syllables into other names who's pronunciation and spelling we know such as Jehoshaphat. You basically reverse engineer the pronunciation using known, translated words.
