THE WORD ELIJAH MEANS 'MY GOD YAHWEH'.
YAHWEH IS A POPULAR TRANSLATION OF THE HOLY
TETRAGRAMMATRON.
THE TETRAGRAMMATRON IS OTHERWISE KNOWN AS
'YHWH' .......THE NAME OF GOD.
IN ANCIENT ISRAEL , IT WAS FORBIDDEN TO
PRONOUNCE THE NAME OF GOD OUTLOUD , SO THE SCRIBES TOOK TO WRITTING IT DOWN WITH THE VOWELS
OMITTED.
ANOTHER POPULAR PRONOUNCIATION OF THE SACRED FOUR CONSTANANTS IS 'JEHOVAH'.
'JAH' AND 'YAH' ARE ALSO HEARD IN VARIOUS PLACES THROUGHOUT THE EARTH.
WHEN HOLY GOD FIRST PRESENTED HIMSELF TO MOSES , HE DID SO IN THE FORM OF THE BURNING BUSH.
WHEN MOSES ASKED HIM HIS NAME , GOD SAID " I AM THAT I AM".
THIS MEANS THAT GOD IS ETERNAL. HE ALLWAYS WAS AND ALLWAYS WILL BE.
ANOTHER NAME FOR GOD CAN BE FOUND IN GENESIS , WHERE HE IS REFERRED TO AS "ELOHIM".
THE ELOHIM IS OFTEN REFERRED TO IN THE PLURAL . IN THE CREATION TALE , THE ELOHIM CREATE MAN AND WOMAN AND OBSERVE THEM.
WHEN ADAM EATS OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL , THE ELOHIM STATE TO EACH OTHER ......." NOW THE MAN HAS BECOME LIKE WE ARE , KNOWING GOOD FROM EVIL ".
DOES THAT MEAN THERE'S MORE THAN ONE GOD ????
OF COURSE NOT . THESE ARE THE SONS OF GOD . GOD'S ANGELIC HELPERS. THESE ALSO CREATED THE WORLD AND ALL THAT IS IN IT ALONG SIDE GOD.
GOD IS LOVE . GOD WILL ALLWAYS BE AND GOD ALLWAYS HAS BEEN.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO OBEY GOD BECAUSE HE LOVES US.
GOD LOVES EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US AND WERE ALL IMPORTANT TO GOD.
IT DOES'NT MATTER WHAT RACE OR WHAT COLOR YOU ARE ......GOD CARES.
DAVID SAID ONCE ......" WHEN I JUDGE MEN , I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHERE YOUR FROM OR IF YOU DO
DRUGS .........YOU KNOW THAT DRUGS ARE BAD , STOP DOING THAT TO YOURSELF. ALL I CARE ABOUT IS , DO YOU WANNA LEARN THE SEALS ?"
