Today's blog is dedicated to the Tetragrammaton.



The four characters above are the four Hebrew letters
(Yod, He, Waw and He) called the "Tetragrammaton". YHWH or its transliteration, IAUE or Yahweh, is the name of the Almighty Father in Heaven that people commonly call "The LORD" or "God". In Jewish tradition, speaking the name Yahweh is considered a blasphemy. This is the reason why we see "LORD" and "God" instead in our Bibles.


I never thought of my
God as having only a Hebrew name. That would have made very sad – for I do not know how to read or write or speak in Hebrew. Does it matter what name you call God? For me, it does not. What really matters is you call on Him and trust by faith that He will answer.
