Thought for the day- walking in the name of Jehovah

[Emma Rose]

Genesis 4:1  Now Adam had sexual relations with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant.  When she gave birth to Cain, she said: “I have produced a male child with the help of Jehovah."

Eve knew Jehovah's name.

However, with this text you cannot prove that Eve knew Jehovah's name, because neither Adam nor Eve wrote this. What is sure though is that Moses knew God's name, and we are assuming he is quoting Eve correctly.

Yes, you do what?

I'm not trying to prove it, I don't believe Moses to be a liar, nor do I believe the canonised scriptures to be wrong.

Genesis 2:4 This is a history of the heavens and the earth in the time they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.

The first instance of Jehovah's name.

BUT it didn't use the word Jehovah did it ?  Moses never actually said or wrote the word Jehovah did he ?

I would think in honesty that no one really knows the true translation and just maybe we are not supposed to know

The word 'Jehovah' is ONLY an English translation of YHWH.

And I for one don't even know why YHWH was changed to JHVH 

What i do find interesting is when Jesus was teaching the disciples / Apostles how to pray, Jesus said this :

Like 11 v 2. So he said to them: “Whenever you pray, say: ‘Father, let your name be sanctified.a Let your Kingdom come.

Matthew 6 v 9 “You must pray, then, this way:i“‘Our Father in the heavens, let your namej be sanctified.

Jesus did not use a personal name for God here, he only used a title / description, and Jesus was talking to those who are of the Anointed. 

Now tell me, who was the first person to actually use this name 'Jehovah', and were they ofthe Anointed. Were they inspired of God's Holy Spirit, and how do you know that ? 

For instance is this true ? 

16th century

The Hebrew vowel points of Adonai were added to the Tetragrammaton by the Masoretes, and the resulting form was transliterated around the 12th century as Yehowah. The derived forms Iehouah and Jehovah first appeared in the 16th century.

I don't believe Moses to be a liar and I don't believe the canonized scriptures are wrong either, but it did occur to me, how would Moses know? I think that's a fair question. But, we probably can't answer it. That's why I said we assume Moses quoted Eve correctly. And we can assume that because we believe the scriptures are inspired of God and because we believe Moses would not lie.

[Emma Rose]

Assumption leaves a margin for error, for me there is no margin for error.  Perception...funny old thing.

[Emma Rose]

Abram's name - "Father Is High (Exalted)" was changed to Abraham ("Father of a Crowd (Multitude)"

Jehovah's purpose in connection with Abraham had changed and was reflected in this name change.

Sarai changed to Sarah

Jacob to Israel

Names changed to reveal something fundamental and prophetic about God's purpose concerning them.

[Emma Rose]

Abram, while he had one son Ishmael.

Abraham (meaning father of a crowd, multitude) once Isaac and other sons were born and began producing offspring.

[Patiently waiting for Truth]

None of this proves that YHWH = Jehovah though does it ?
