YAHWEH JIREH Yahweh=s providence becomes visible. The Lord sees beforehand this need. It shall be seen and provided for. Yahweh Jireh differs from Elohim, the All-knowing One. The meaning of Yahweh Jireh is: He sees something in advance and He knows something beforehand. This is followed by His providence. He will with certainty take care for the needs, which He sees before. Prevision and Providence cannot be separated! Yahweh Jireh is the God who gave for our salvation the sacrificial lamb! Mekkadishkem - the Lord Ex 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, sanctifier saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.

A sign of deliverance and salvation. A sign for the victory in the daily needs. Banner is also translated as staff, flag and standard. In Hebrew it can also mean miracle. It was a sign for God=s people to assemble themselves. The banner stood for His cause, His fight. With AYahweh-Jesus@ as our banner we can move on from victory to victory and give thanks to God, who leads us in victorious procession!!! Elohim Macheslanu - God Ps 62:8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your our refuge heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Elohim Kadoshim - the Holy Ps 99:9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy God hill; for the LORD our God is holy. Jehovah Magenenu - the Psa 89:18 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One Lord our defence of Israel is our king. Shammah - the Lord is Ez 48:35 It was round about eighteen thousand measures: present and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.

There was a time when I thought that the Yooropean Yahoodim Tetragrammaton ( = YHWH ) that was and is presented to the world was genuine, but after further study and review I realized that it was false. I have come to understand that the Jetthiopian Paleo- Tetragrammaton ( yhwh =JEWE) that was discovered on the Mesha Stele or the Moabite Stone around 1869 AD was in fact the original one, and it was not just four letters that you add other letters too to compose the Orijahnator’s name, but it was in fact the full name of the Orijewnator’s name which is JEWE . The final letter in the name can be silent at times therefore leaving the root word ‘ JEW,’ and this full name can be compounded with other words to give different meanings such as, ‘JEW-EL ’ ( Jew is mighty) or ‘JEW-O-SHA-WAH ,’ ( Jew is Salvation ) etc. With the ‘ E’s’ interchangeable with ‘ A’s’ in the name it can be rendered JAWE or JAWA and with the silent ‘H’ added we get JAHWEH and JAHWAH and with ‘OSHA ’ added we get JAHOSHAWEH or JAHOSHAWAH and with ‘ L’ added to the name ‘JEWE’ we get the name ‘JEWEL’ and is not the Orijewnator a precious JEWEL ? Yes, and He is the Jewel of the universe (Rev.

  • Elohim and Jehovah in Mormonism and the Bible
    Elohim and Jehovah in Mormonism and the Bible Boyd Kirkland urrently, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints defines the CGodhead as consisting of three separate and distinct personages or Gods: Elohim, or God the Father; Jehovah, or Jesus Christ, the Son of God both in the spirit and in the flesh; and the Holy Ghost. The Father and the Son have physical, resurrected bodies of flesh and bone, but the Holy Ghost is a spirit personage. Jesus' title of Jehovah reflects his pre-existent role as God of the Old Testament. These definitions took official form in "The Father and the Son: A Doctrinal Exposition by the First Presidency and the Twelve" (1916) as the culmination of five major stages of theological development in Church history (Kirkland 1984): 1. Joseph Smith, Mormonism's founder, originally spoke and wrote about God in terms practically indistinguishable from then-current protestant the- ology. He used the roles, personalities, and titles of the Father and the Son interchangeably in a manner implying that he believed in only one God who manifested himself as three persons. The Book of Mormon, revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants prior to 1835, and Smith's 1832 account of his First Vision all reflect "trinitarian" perceptions. He did not use the title Elohim at all in this early stage and used Jehovah only rarely as the name of the "one" God. 2. The 1835 Lectures on Faith and Smith's official 1838 account of his First Vision both emphasized the complete separateness of the Father and the Son.

  • 2 Lord Or Jehovah
    2 LORD OR JEHOVAH THE second name of God revealed in Holy Scripture, the name "Jehovah," which we translate "LORD," shews us qualities in God, which, though they are contained, can hardly be said to be expressed, in the first name, "Elohim." (Note: I may perhaps say here, for those who do not read Hebrew, that, in our Authorised Version, wherever we find the name "GOD" or "LORD" printed in capitals, the original is "Jehovah," (as in Gen. 2:4, 5, 7, 8, &c.; Gen. 6:5, 6; 15:2; 18:1, 13, 19, 22, 26; Ezek. 2:4; 3:11, 27; Obad. 1:1.) Wherever we find "God," (as in Gen. 1 throughout, and in countless other passages,) it is "Elohim." Where we find "Lord," (as in Gen. 15:2; 18:3, 27, 30, 31, 32; and constantly in the prophecies of Ezekiel,) it is "Adonai." Thus "LORD God" (in Gen. 2:4, 5, 7, 8, and elsewhere,) is "Jehovah Elohim;" while "Lord GOD" (in Gen. 15:2, and Ezek. 2:4, and elsewhere,) is "Adonai Jehovah." I may add that wherever the name "Jehovah" stands alone, (as in Gen. 4:1, 3, 4, 6, 9, &c.) or is joined with "Elohim," (as in Gen. 2:4, 5, &c.,) it is always written in Hebrew with the vowel points of "Adonai:" where "Adonai" is joined to "Jehovah," (as in Gen. 15:2; Ezek. 2:4, &c.) "Jehovah" is written with the vowel points of "Elohim." For the Jews scrupulously avoided pronouncing the name "Jehovah," always reading "Adonai" for "Jehovah," except where "Adonai" is joined to "Jehovah," (as in Gen.

Committee Member ______________________________ Chris Nelson, M.F.A. Assistant Honors Director THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THEOLOGY AND WORSHIP Thompson 2 ______________________________ Date Abstract This thesis will address the correlation between theology and worship. Firstly, it will address the process of framing a worldview and how one’s worldview influences his thinking. Secondly, it will contrast flawed views of worship with the biblically defined worship that Christ calls His followers to practice. Thirdly, it will address the impact of theology in the life of a believer and its necessity and practice in the lifestyle of a worship leader. THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THEOLOGY AND WORSHIP Thompson 3 The Correlation Between Worship and Theology Introduction Since creation, mankind was designed to devote its heart, soul, and mind to the Sovereign God of all (Rom. 1:18-20). As an outward sign of this commitment and devotion, mankind would live in accordance with the established, inerrant, and absolute truths of God (Matt. 22:37, John 17:17). Unfortunately, as a consequence of man’s disobedience, many beliefs have arisen which tempt mankind to replace God’s absolute truth as the basis of their worldview (Rom.

  • A Students Guide to the 'Philosophy of Worship in Islam'
    A STUDENTS GUIDE TO THE ‘PHILOSOPHY OF WORSHIP IN ISLAM’ DR FAZL-UR- RAHMAN ANSARI BY ABDULLAH CONCEPT OF WORSHIP UNIQUENESS The concept of worship in Islam is unique among the religions of the world. IMPLICATION The word which the Holy Qur’an has used for worship is ‘ibadat, Which means: 1. Submission to God, 2. Service to Him. The word “worship” denotes: in the English language what is termed as “adoration.” The word “ibadat” denotes: the act of becoming ‘abd, namely, slave1. Consequently, the full connotation of the term ‘ibadat’ is to hand over or deliver oneself solely to God. In other words, the worshipper has to negate himself entirely and affirm the supremacy and absolute authority of God in all respects. 1 According to Islamic terminology, this term does not refer to slavery in terms of imprisonment, rather, it refers to Servitude in terms of service. Namely, service in reference to his Creator through whom he attains true freedom, instead of becoming a slave unto himself or others. THE SCOPE OF WORSHIP A HOLISTIC SCOPE OF WORSHIP 1. Worship forms only a part of human life in other religions. 2. In Islam it is meant to cover the whole life.2 2 The purpose behind the creation of man is ‘ibadat’ (worship) as mentioned above, which implies the act of becoming and remaining an Abd (one who lives a life of service in accordance to the Will of God). As many faculties and powers man possesses that many ways and modes of expression manifest. Utilizing each faculty in accordance to the function bestowed upon it will be regarded as worship in terms of Shukr (gratitude), while, misusing any of the faculties will be regarded as Kufr (ingratitude).

  • Eisenhower Church of Christ Allah Is Ot Jehovah
    Eisenhower Church of Christ Allah is ot Jehovah – Conclusion In order to squelch negative perceptions of the religion of the 9/11 terrorists, we have been told that world religions are, at core level, basically the same, and that Allah of Islam is the same as the Yahweh (Jehovah) of the Bible. But we have exposed their lie. Here is a summary of the points we made: 1. Jehovah manifested Himself in His only begotten Son. Allah had no Son, and Islam believes the very idea of deity becoming flesh is blasphemous. 2. Jehovah has an immeasurable, personal love for all men manifested in the sacrifice of His Son, and even commands us to love our enemies. No such love characterizes Allah, and according to the Qur’an, Allah’s followers are to hate their enemies, especially the Jews. 3. Jehovah is a “triune being” – one God composed of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Allah is not, and Islam denounces the biblical doctrine of the Godhead or Trinity. 4. Jehovah is infinite in holiness, and for sinful men to have forgiveness and fellowship with Him it was necessary for Christ to make atonement for sin to appease the wrath of God. In Islam, man needs no Savior. Those whose good works outweigh their bad ones are acceptable to Allah. Jehovah is the one God who revealed Himself by His special covenant name to Israel. Allah is a pagan deity, the moon-god of ancient Mecca worshipped along with the other idols by the ancient Arabians; Mohammad simply adopted the moon-god as the one God.

  • Worshipping the Father with Our Whole Soul
    Worshiping our Father on four levels of cosmic Reality Julian McGarry, Hobart, Tasmania Presented at the Tasmanian Conference, October 2010 What is this experience that we call “worship”? What happens to us when we worship? What’s actually going on inside when we worship? At what level of reality do we worship? We are talking here about the ultimate human experience! The Urantia Book constantly emphasizes that our faith is not based on knowing about God, but is to be a personal experience of God – actually knowing God! We are talking about God-consciousness! Touching the Divine! Again and again the UB admonishes us to personally experience God – to have a personal relationship with God. How do we do this? Worship--the spiritual domain of the reality of religious experience, the personal realization of divine fellowship, the recognition of spirit values, the assurance of eternal survival, the ascent from the status of servants of God to the joy and liberty of the sons of God. This is the highest insight of the cosmic mind, the reverential and worshipful form of the cosmic discrimination. – P.192:4 Worship involves the mind!....working at the highest level of discrimination. But that’s just the beginning! The spirit of the Father speaks best to man when the human mind is in an attitude of true worship….. Worship is a transforming experience whereby the finite gradually approaches and ultimately attains the presence of the Infinite. P.1641:1 But how is this possible? The great challenge to modern man is to achieve better communication with the divine Monitor that dwells within the human mind.

  • Counterfeit – Islam 10/2/16 Sunday AM for the Time Will Come When
    Counterfeit – Islam 10/2/16 Sunday AM For the time will come when people will not put up w/ sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 Three weeks ago we began a series entitled – Counterfeit w/ the intent of learning about and comparing the tenets of the Christian faith w/ those of other major religions/cults. My heart in this series isn’t to speak condescendingly or to condemn another faith, but to clarify our differences and to prepare us to engage people of other faiths – and w/ some 4200 different beliefs – we have some work to do. The challenge comes on (2) fronts: Front 1 is the idea that my faith is right and yours is wrong. This is the posture of most religions – and rightly so – so long as the faith in question can be validated. In the case of Christianity, Jesus claimed to be the only way to God. And since the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus can be validated – it gives credence to Christianity as being correct. Front 2 is the idea that all beliefs are truthful in some manner, and therefore, ultimately, all religions lead to the same destination – all roads lead to God. Law of Non-Contradiction – something can’t be both true and untrue at the same time in the same context. This law demolishes the warped idea that all roads lead to God.
