Holy Hormones Bible Study: Teaching — not Entertainment
NAME OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB: PART 5
The volume of the Book is written of Me
This is one of a five part series on the Name of God.
Part 1 was a brief, broad brush introduction to the Jewish response to the Name of God (HaShem). It was shown that the Name is not just an identifier. It speaks of His Capabilities and Intentions in the unspoken words heard by a Biblically sensitive Jew when the Name is spoken/read. It also showed the error of assimilating Allah with Elohim.
Part 2 briefly discussed some differences between Hebrew and English Grammar, plus more on the word unspoken and its importance concerning prayer.
Part 3, the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton (יהוה) is briefly discussed. It is included only for those who wish to know. It has no impact on your Salvation so skip it if you are not interested.
Part 4, briefly discusses the Name with which God introduces Himself to Creation, Elohim. It brushes the topic of the Trinity but not much.
Part 5, shows two examples of the Name of God in plain sight but unnoticed.
Brace yourself! This is more of a teaching blog than an entertaining one. It may not be an easy read because there is more here than a normal, well adjusted person would normally want to know but it will be worth it. It is the detail which makes me a boring person that brings the Bible alive for me. But if you happen to like what you read, there’s more to be found here.
[NOTE: Important words analysed below are identified with Hebrew/Greek transliterations into English and Strong’s Numbers so that whoever wants to can check them out — it is strongly recommended that you do. I use the Blue Letter Bible (https://www.blueletterbible.org/ BLB)]
Who wrote the Bible?
There are a number of experts on the medium platform who know a lot about the Bible and who wrote it. I have no Theological Letters so, obviously, can’t dispute their postulations. All I can say is that it must have been someone special, as the two tables below demonstrate.
It is written, “The volume of the book is written of me.” You decide.
If you are a purist keen on highlighting my Hebrew language errors, I’m possibly already aware. The organising principle is, “A gram of inaccuracy saves a tonne of explanation.”
The forgoing evidence has not been presented to convince any reader but to allow a personal decision to be made. There is much more to know about this subject. Perhaps you’ll pay another visit, sometime.
All Glory to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
(We all have a plank in our eye. It’s bigger than we think.)
