Jehovah in English - Basic statement by Jehovah's Witnesses...

[Arauna]

I visited a church in Sweden this weekend - massive church with tall glass windows..... and in the glass engraved is YOD HE WAW HE....  I took a picture but too unclear to paste here.   This church has many visitors because it is 700 years old..... and most do not see or understand this..... but I immediately understood the letters and what it stands for! I am so happy to know Jehovah!

[Queen Esther]

I  feel  the  same....   Thank  you  so  much  for  telling  from  your  visit !   Yes,  without  Jehovah,  our  life  were  so  terrible   We  need  HIM  SO  very  much   AGAIN,  THANK  YOU !

So the graphic was written incorrectly? Is that what you are saying JWI? It should read Yod He Vav He? Reading as Hebrew is written, right to left?

Yes. The graphic is written incorrectly because it labels the name of each Hebrew letter incorrectly.

Does what she said take away from the name of our Creator? How it is translated into English? I am curious.

Not to me. The mistake in the graphic is not a big deal. That's the reason that I said:

This is picture of ancient letters in Hebrew and the bottom is the letters in Aramaic script - now used and recognized by everyone.    You will see far right letter (the short one) - this is Yod.......  they have it other way round on your diagram like "mirror image" because they think western people read from left... to right - this is why it is like it is.

As I said before - these four letters have the same meaning no matter what vowels you add.  If you add vowels it changes to a verb or noun or adjective..... but the meaning is basically the same.  So it does not really matter what vowels you put in .... it is the use of the name and acknowledging the name that is important. Jehovah chose this name because it has significant meaning in the outworking of his purpose  as the creator.  It is the causative form for "He causes to become" ...  He can fulfill his promises... he can prove to be by his actions....

Hope this de-confuses you...and thanks for sending the other stuff.....

That's absolutely correct

Here is another graphic who shows the correct direction to read the names, both Jesus and Jehovah, in hebrew lang.

Haha...  Süden ist gut,. mehr Südosten ?  Ich war schon 3 x in Ost - Deutschland zum Camping,  in Kühlungsborn, Rerik und Meesiger am Kummerower See, war sehr schön. Du wohnst aber auch an einem wunderschönen Platz. Ich liebe diese tolle Landschaft !  Viel Sonne aber auch genug Schnee, so wie es sich gehört   Ja, im Grünen wohnen, das hat schon was....  Hab gerade mal gegoogelt.  Super !
