In Christian culture, the ancient name of God, Yahweh has become something of a trend, that very few FULLY understand. It is important to understand a few things about the name of God. In Hebrew teachings, this name is to be reveredm respected, and treated as absolutely HOLY. When you look at the history of this name you find that the Jewish people regarded the name in such a manner, that many times, using or writing the name was not allowed because His name is that holy.
Looking back through the history of written languages, Hebrew is one that has many hidden meanings, and mysteries, aswell as revelations. This is ESPECIALLY true with Yahweh, the name of God.
The earliest form of the Hebrew written language, Paleo-Hebrew dates back to the 10th century BCE, and was used until the Babylonian exile around the 6th century BCE. Keep this date in mind as it will play an extremely significant role later in this article. Lets break down the letters YHWH, often referred to as a tetragrammaton.
It is important to note that Hebrew is typically read from right to left. The first letter, “Y”, is called yod or yud, is often shown in a pictogram associated with HAND, representing ACTION and DIVINE POWER.
The second and fourth leter, “H” is called he (pronounced as HEY), is representative of a person with his arms up, associated with the word BEHOLD.
The thrid letter, “W” is vav, signifying “to cure” or “to secure”.
So when the letters aare put together, the symbology reads as “Behold the hand, behold the nail”. Many believe that this ia prophecy pointing to the coming crucifixion, the promise of salvation.
What is interesting about this is the fact that the Paleo-Hebrew no longer being used 600 years BEFORE the arrival of Jesus. This ALSO 600 years BEFORE crucifixion would enter into practice. So the idea that the name of God would prophesy the crucifizion of Jesus 600 years BEFORE it would happen is compelling evidence to the reality of God, Jesus, and the promise of salvation that is available today.
How much more evidence does one need to finally believe and take that step of faith? And even if people were given the sign and evidence they asked for, would they believe? Or would they make excuses as to why the signs they asked for is not good enough?
