THE IMPORTANCE OF A NAME
For everything there is a name...but the Creator of all things is not allowed (by humans) to have a name. Yet, they often claim to love him. In an article in the Anglican Theological Review, Dr. Walter Lowry wrote..."In human relationships it is highly important to know the proper name, the personal name, of the one we love, or to whom we are speaking. Precisely so it is in man's relation to God. A man who does not know God by name does not really know him as a person and he cannot love him, if he knows him only as an impersonal force." October, 1959
"Who has gathered the wind in the hollow of both hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in a mantle? Who has made all the ends of the earth to rise? What is his NAME and what the name of his son?" Proverbs 30:4
PRONOUNCING GOD'S NAME IN ENGLISH
No one today knows exactly how God's name was pronounced in ancient Hebrew.Jesus made God's name known when on earth and he instructed his disciples to pray for the sanctification of that name.Matthew 6:9 John 17:6 After Jesus' death nearly two thousand years ago there arose among the Jews a superstitious tradition that it was wrong to pronounce God's name.When a reader came to the name in the scriptures he would say the word "Lord" as a substitute.In this way after many centuries of disuse the pronunciation of God's name faded from memory. Ancient Hebrew was written without vowels very similar to abbreviations in English and other languages.When reading the written text the reader supplied the missing vowel sounds from memory.The four consonants called the Tetragrammaton which one dictionary defines as "the four Hebrew letters usu[ally] transliterated YHWH or JHVH that form a biblical proper name of God."It is easy to see how JHVH with vowel points and vowel sounds added becomes "Jehovah" the form that is most familiar and widely accepted in English.Some scholars though recommend the pronunciation "Yahweh."Is that closer to the original pronunciation?No one can be certain.So going with the most widely accepted name for God in English 'JEHOVAH' is that the correct pronunciation of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton YHWH?The Tetragrammaton is transliterated YHWH in Hebrew & JHVH in English.The Hebrew consonant Y is translated with a J in English.Proper names like Jerusalem, Jacob, and Jeremiah are spelled with a Y in Hebrew.The divine name was undoubtably composed of three syllables e.g Je-ho-ram, Je-ho-ash, Je-hosh u-a = Jesus.Also many Hebrew names have 'ah' on the end e.g Zephani-ah, Hezeki-ah & Jeremi-ah.So we should pronounce God's name as Je-ho-vah or Ye-ho-wah.

If we have forgotten the name of our God...Psalms 44:20-21Give thanks to Jehovah...Call upon his name...Isaiah 12:4 "I shall certainly sanctify my great name which was being profaned among the nations"...Ezekiel 36:23 "YOU are my witnesses is the utterance of Jehovah even my servant whom I have chosen...I—I am Jehovah and besides me there is no savior...YOU are my witnesses is the utterance of Jehovah and I am God."Isaiah 43:10-12...God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name...people who are called by my name says Jehovah. Acts 15:13-17
