Name Above All Name Lessons

1. Call Upon His NameGo to Lessons Index Go To Quiz (offline/online)

When the Earth came forth from the hand of the loving Creator, it was perfect. Every

blade of grass, every petal, every creature, from the greatest to the smallest, showed

forth the glory of its Maker. The crowning part of the entire Creation was Man.

Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have

dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle . . .

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male

and female He created them. (Genesis 1:26, 27, NKJV)

Made in the very image of the Creator! Nothing else on earth had been given this honor,

only mankind. The perfect beings made in the image of the Almighty were createdfor thecompanionship of the angels and the Creator Himself. The holy pair were not only

children under Fatherly care, they were students receiving instruction. They were visited

often by angels and had the privilege of talking face-to-face with their Maker.

The laws and function of nature were open to their astonished minds. Every living

creature from the largest to the smallest was to be observed and understood. From the

meadow flower to the tallest tree, from the earth and sky and sea, His children were to

recognize their Fathers name written in love.

In the cool of the evening the Creator came to visit with the holy pair to talk over the

events of the day and share the joy of being together. As long as Adam and Eve

remained loyal to the divine law of love, they constantly would be gaining new insights,

new knowledge and discovering fresh sources of happiness as they obtained ever clearer

understanding of the immeasurable, unfailing love of their Creator. As each happy day

passed, the Creator came to the garden and called for His children to come to Him.

Then a great tragedy happened: sin entered. When Satan came to tempt Eve, she was

not hungry. The temptation was not food. She was tempted to doubt the love of herCreator. Satan tempted her to doubt the truthfulnessof her Maker. He tempted her todesire a station that had not been given her. She wanted to be like a "god" - the very

temptation into which Satan himself had fallen. (See Isaiah 14:12-14.) She aspired to a

position for which she was not created: that of "knowing" (or experiencing) both good

andevil. It was never the Father's plan for His children to ever experience evil.

Following that terrible day when Adam and Eve chose to sin, they found themselves

devoid of the garment of light that had covered them, and they felt guilt. Having no way tocover their nakedness, or to excuse their disobedience, they ran in terror and hid when

they heard the voice of the Creator calling them:

"Where are you?" So he [Adam] said, "I heard Your voice in the garden, and I wasafraid because I was naked; and I hid myself." And He said, "Who told you that you

were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, that you

should not eat?" (Genesis 3:9-11, NKJV)

Thus begins the long sad history of mankind's sin. Love of the Creator, joy in His

presence, trust and confidence in His care was replaced with fearof all that had attractedthem to Him before. As a result, they no longer enjoyed His company.

The heavenly Father did not desert Adam and Eve, but explained to them that a life of

pain and sorrow, of toil and sadness, would be their future experience. He explained thecost of sin: that in the fullness of time, the divine Son must die to atone for their

disobedience. They were told they must leave their beautiful garden home. Adam and

Eve pleaded to remain in the Garden of Eden, the home of their joy. They promised that

in the future they would strictly obey, but they were told that their very naturehad becomespoiled by sin. By their own choice they had lessened their strength to resist Satan. They

could not maintain their integrity because of their state of conscious guilt.

In sadness, they went out to dwell on the earth where the curse of sin now rested. All

heaven was touched with feelings of sympathy for Adam and Eve, but the Creator had a

plan whereby they could be restored to their state of innocence. That divine plan providedfor constant communication between the Creator and His children. They were to have

immediate access to divine help if they asked for it.

The descendents of Adam and Eve did not long retain loyalty to the heavenly Father. As

sin became more and more prevalent, people did not hear the divine voice calling them.

People did not want to retain in their minds the law of love provided by their Creator. As

more people were born and grew up, people continued to forget that a Voice was calling

to them. Seth, born to Adam and Eve after Cain killed Able, had a son whom he named

Enos. Genesis 4:26 states: And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called

his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD." (KJV)How sad that it took so long for men and women to beginto call upon the name of theirloving heavenly Father! To limit the power of Satan and to keep things equal in the great

controversy between good and evil, the Creator imposed rules. Any human could contact

whichever side he wished: Heaven or Satan. But neither Satan nor Heaven could directly

contact the human unless first invited to do so. The Father did this in order to protect His

children from constant harassment by demons. It is still the "rules of engagement."

Throughout scripture, all are repeatedly urged to "call upon the name" of the Father.

Oh, give thanks to the LORD!

Call upon His name; . . .

Talk of all His wondrous works!

Glory in His holy name; . . .Give to the LORD the glory due His name . . . .

I Chronicles 16:8-10, 29, NKJV

I found trouble and sorrow.

Then called I upon the name of the LORD . . .

I will take the cup of salvation

And call upon the name of the LORD.

Psalm 116:3, 4, 13, KJV

Praise the LORD, call upon His name,

declare His doings among the people,

make mention that His name is exalted.

Isaiah 12:4

I love the LORD because He hath heard my voice and my supplications. . . . I

found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD. . . .

Gracious is the LORD, and righteous. . . . O LORD, truly I am thy servant . . . I

will . . . will call upon the name of the LORD.

Psalm 116:1, 3-5, 16-17

Many other verses instruct all to praisethe holy Name.

Praise ye the LORD.

Praise ye the name of the LORD;

praise him, O ye servants of the LORD . . .

Praise the LORD;

For the LORD is good:

Sing praises unto His name;

For it is pleasant.Psalm 135:1, 3

Every day will I bless Thee;

And I will praise Thy name forever and ever.

Psalm 145:2

Other texts urge those who believe in their Maker "To declare the name of the LORD in

Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem." (Psalm 102:21) The inspired Word reveals that all

may safely trust in the holy Name: "We will rejoice in Thy salvation, and in the name of

our God we will set up our banners." (Psalm 20:5)

Everything has a name. Communication is not possible without a name to apply to

everything, be it a person, a thing, a place or even an idea or emotion. The Creator

Himself has a personal name. And it is upon that Name that all are to call. By His Spirit,

the divine Father is always close, always available and He just waits; He waits for you to

call upon His name. He longs to answer!

"Lord," however, is not the Father's nameand it should not have been substituted forthedivine name. The English words "Lord" and "God" are mere titles and can be applied to

demonic gods, too! The word "Lord" simply means master. The word translated "God"

comes from the Hebrew word "Elohim." The given translation is:

godsin the ordinary sense; but sepc[ifically] used . . . of the supreme God;occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates;and sometimes asa superlative: - God, god, judge, GOD, goddess, great, mighty . . . rulers,

judges, . . . . (#430, The New Strong's Expanded Dictionary of BibleWords, emphasis original.)

"Elohim" is the word used in the first commandment and it is applied to both the Creator

and to false gods. The King James Version translates it:

I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, . .

. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. (Exodus 20:2, 3)

In other words, "I am the Elohim that brought you out of Egypt. Don't have any other

elohim before Me." Elohim is a plural word translated "gods"; the singular, el, means"mighty." (See Strong's#410.)

The problem with using a word or a title that can be just as readily applied to a pagan

deity, is that there is no power in titles! Titles do not inspire faith in the power and lovebehind the divine Namewhen the same word can be applied to many different people(magistrates, kings, prophets, husbands, gods). In order to call upon the name of the

Heavenly Father in full faith, one must knowHis name!

It has pleased Satan well that the divine Name has been hidden behind the title "Lord."

When the Name is hidden behind titles, there is no knowledge of what the Name means

and thus there is no corresponding faith

in the power of the Loving One who

bears that Name. The stories of the

Bible reveal that all who call upon the

Name receive an answer.

From the belly of a whale, Jonah cried

out in prayer. From the den of lions,

Daniel sent his prayers heavenward and

he was protected. From the burning fiery

furnace, from the pit and slavery and

persecution, from the heart and mind of the Creator's children, people throughout time

were saved from all their troubles when they called in faith upon the divine Name. Over

and over in the history of the nation of Israel, the people sinned and were taken into

captivity, or otherwise punished. However, when they repented and called upon the divineName, they were delivered and saved.

In this final generation, during this last remnant of time when the great tribulation of the

wrath of the Almighty will come upon the world, His people need to know the divineName. His name is wonderful, powerful and must not be taken in vain, or foolishly. All

are still invited to call upon His name in faith, and all that do will receive an answer.

2.Be Specific

Go to Lessons Index Go To Quiz (offline/online)It must ever be remembered that Satan, the Father of Lies, is also the Father of Stolen

Identities. He does not have creative power himself, so he twists; he manipulates, he lies.

He takes attributes belonging to the Creator and claims them for himself, while trying to

paint the Father with his own evil characteristics. Thus, people are led to fear the very

One to Whom they should flee and call upon for help in the fight against Satan.

Satan's method of warfare, his stealing and usurping that which belongs to the Almighty

alone, can be seen in his boast, made when he was cast out of heaven. This boast has

been preserved in Isaiah:

How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! . . . For you

have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne

above the stars of . . . [Elohim]; . . . I will ascend above the heights of the

clouds, I will be like the Most High.' (Isaiah 14:12-14, NKJV)

After the flood cleansed the earth, Satan quickly reestablished idolatry, seeking to turn all

to worship himself. Even while Noah and Shem yet lived, men were worshipping

demons. By the time of Abraham, idol worship was fully ingrained in the minds of the

majority of the people. Elohim called Abraham to come out and be separate; to serve no

other gods.

During this time Satan sought to bind people

in service to himself by having his demons

present in their temples. A rich man or a king

could build a temple, appoint priests and

ceremoniously invite a specific demon, by a

specific name, to live in the inner sanctum, the

"most holy place" of that temple. The priest

appointed to serve that particular demon-god

could then come in, offer sacrifices andofferings, and call upon the name of that god

to petition for a favor. People would pay the

priest to ask the demon questions, work magical acts or in some way bless them or curse

others.

This was no mere charade. The reason people were willing to pay the priest and give

offerings to the god was because it worked! Satan had many ways to deceive and keep

the people entranced with his deceptions. Their occult worship had many mysteries and

fascinating ceremonies to allure the mind and keep the people coming back for more. The

specific name of an individual demon-god was held to be very important. Without knowing

their name, it was believed that a person could not get in touch with the demon. If an

enemy learned the name of your god, he could offer a bigger offering and get yourgod tocome over to hisside and destroy you. This meant that people desperately kept secretthe name of their god. Over time, there were thousands of gods inhabiting thousands of

temples and answering to thousands of names.

It was assumed that the more hidden the name, the more power it contained. If a god

was "unknown," no one assumed he lackeda name. Instead, it was believed that thename was simply very deeply hidden. In his address to the men of Athens on the

Areopagus, Paul used this belief in his favor to preach about the Creator:

Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, "Men of Athens, I

perceive that in all things you are very religious; for as I was passingthrough and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar

with this inscription:

TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.

Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to

you: . . . [Elohim] who made the world and everything in it." (Acts 17:22, 23,

NKJV)

The necessity of praying to a specificgod by his personalname was a concept that waswell-understood throughout the ancient world.

In the ancient world, knowledge of a person's name was believed to give

one power over that person. A knowledge of the character and attributes of

pagan "gods" was thought to enable the worshipers to manipulate or

influence the deities in a more effective way than they could have if the

deity's name remained unknown. To that extent, the vagueness of the term

elfrustrated persons who hoped to obtain some sort of power over the deity,since the name gave little or no indication of the god's character. This was

particularly true for el, the chief Canaanite god. The ancient Semites stoodin mortal dread of the superior powers exercised by the gods and attemptedto propitiate them accordingly. They commonly associated deity with the

manifestation and use of enormous power.1

1El, #410, The New Strong's Expanded Dictionary of Bible Words.)


11/107

In order to access the god, a generic title could not be used as that was ineffectual. Thus,

it was a continual battle to keep hidden the name of one's own god, while learning as

many hidden names of other gods as possible. By the time of the enslavement of the

Israelite nation, Egypt had over 2000 named gods and some of those gods had hundreds

of names. The priests jealously guarded the knowledge of the gods secret names,

because this knowledge was what gave them power over the gods since it was believed

that when a god was called upon by his personal name, he mustanswer.

No Egyptian being, natural or supernatural, can avoid the calling of his

name. . . . In Egypt magic . . . is based almost entirely on the use of this

possibility . . . The priest-

magician devotes all his

learning and power to

'knowing' (rokhu) the exacttexture of the name . . . [as]

the magical chant (khrou)which exactly reproduces all

those elements [of the spoken

name] give to him who

possess it the complete

ownership of the name-souls

thus evoked. To the

irresistible call which attracts

their vital substance all

beings, visible and invisible,must answer. . . . The person

who is adjured or evoked, not

being able to avoid the declaration of his name, . . . keeps his name secret.

From the most humble spirit to the most powerful of the gods, each has a

'secret name,' which no one is supposed to know. He defends it jealously

as his very life. For, as the texts say, 'this is his name by which he

breathes.'2

Some Egyptian gods had multiple names. From the top 358 most well-known Egyptian

gods' names, the following are just those gods whose names began with "A":

Aa, Aah, Aapep, Abtu, Ah, Ahemait, Ahti(2), Ailuros, Aken, Aker,Amathaunta, Amaunet, Amemait, Amen, Amen Ra, Amen Re,Amenhotep, Ament, Amentet, Amentit, Ammam, Ammit, Ammon,Ammon Ra, Ammon Re, Ammut, Amn, Amon, Amon Ra, Amon Re,

What Satan cannot destroy outright by lies, he twists and corrupts by misunderstanding or

placing a wrong emphasis. While it is true that all should call upon the Father, directing

their prayers specifically to Him by calling upon His personal name, it is not true that

names are magical. Correspondingly, a title is not non-magical. This is the trap intowhich the pagans fell: belief that names contained inherent magical power.

The all-important reason that one should know the Father's and the Son's personal

names is because an understanding of the meaningof Their names inspires faith in theheart of the petitioner. Faith in the Father's love, faith in His willingness to hear and

answer prayer, confidence in His promises is what is necessary to release the divine

power. As one well-known writer put it, "prayer is the key in the hand of faith to unlock

heaven's store house, where are treasured the boundless resources of Omnipotence."3

There are definitely conditions that must be met before prayer is answered: repentance,

obedience, the realization that one needs divine help. "Our great need is itself anargument and pleads most eloquently in our behalf. But . . . [the Father] is to be sought

unto to do these things for us. He says, 'Ask, and it shall be given you.'"4

Faithis the primary prerequisite for answered prayer. The Saviour repeatedly linked Hisability to answer petitions made Him to the level of faith in the heart of the petitioner.

After exclaiming in surprise over the level of faith the Roman centurion had, ("Verily I say

unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel."

Matthew 8:10) the Saviour turned to the centurion and said, "Go

thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee."

(Matthew 8:13, KJV)

This principle was reinforced again later when the Syro-

Phoenician woman asked for her daughter to be healed. When

told, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the

dogs," her faith grew stronger. "True," she said, "yet even the

little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."

(See Matthew 15:21-28.) To this answer of faith, the Saviour

rejoiced: "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you

desire." (Verse 28, NKJV.)

Here is where the importance of knowing the Creator's personal name is seen. His name

is a revelation of His power, His functionand His character. When one knows this, allother gods fade into oblivion. All that remains is the one true Elohim, the Creator of

heaven and earth Who loves each one of His children as though there were not anotherindividual on the face of the planet.

If anyone loves . . . [Elohim], this one is known by Him. Therefore

concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is

nothing in the world, and that there is no other . . . [Elohim] but one. For

even if there are so-called gods [elohim], whether in heaven or on earth as

there are many gods and many lords), yet for us there is only one Elohim,

the Father of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one . . . [Saviour],

through whom are all things and through whom we live. (I Corinthians 8:3-

6)

This is the knowledge that is crucial for all living in the closing days of this earth's history.

To many people, the days ahead appear dark and fearful. Revelation lists the seven last

plagues, the wrath of Elohim, to be poured out unmixed with mercy upon this sinful earth.

At this time, it is absolutely essential for Elohims people to have faith in His power to

deliver, both from enemies without and sin within.

Call upon the name of the Father. Lay aside titles and words Satan has appropriated for

demons. Call upon Him specifically and in faith. Let your faith grasp the promises given

in Love. The message of Elijah and Moses resounds through the years to this day: Whois on Elohim's side? If Baal is your god, serve him; but if Elohim is the Creator, then with

repentance and humility, obedience and faith, serve Him.

According to your faith be it unto you.

3.Prayer is the Key

Go to Lessons Index Go To Quiz (offline/online)

I still remember the day my son called me "Mama." My first child, each new experiencewith him was precious. Actually, he did not call me "Mama." It was more like

mamamama! I did not care! His littleface had lit up with happiness when I

walked in to get him after his nap, his

little arms waved, and then the sweetest

sound I had ever heard: "Mamamama!"

While it was not said perfectly, it was

music to my ears. It showed that his little

heart recognized me, his mother. This is

what is experienced in a true prayer

relationship with the Creator. There is

great value in knowing the true, personal name of the Creator . . . but it is not for Hisbenefit. It is for ours. He is our Father. No loving parent rejects the request of his child

because a young child can only say "dada" rather than "Daddy." No loving parent refuses

to listen or help unless the child stands a certain way or holds her hands "just so" when

making the request.

The same is true of the Heavenly Father. He has a name, a personal name and Heinvites all to call upon it. However, He understands that we are but dust. Some

languages contain sounds that other languages simply do not contain and unless a

person is raised from babyhood forming those sounds, it is not always possible to make

the tongue produce unfamiliar sounds. My mother was raised in an English speaking

home, but as a very young child learned French from her playmates. She could make her

tongue form certain sounds that, no matter how I try, I have never been able to duplicate.

No one, parent or otherwise, refuses to respond to someone calling his or her name if the

person calling cannot pronounce the name perfectly or speaks with a lisp. A friend of

mine is French Canadian. We have an old mutual friend named Thackery. My FrenchCanadian friend has never once been able to pronounce his name because French does

not have the soft "th" sound. The closest she gets is Zachary. However, he does not

ignore her because she cannot pronounce his name correctly. Likewise, a woman named

Rachelle would not ignore someone from China pronouncing her name "Lachelle." She

would be understanding because Chinese does not contain the "r" sound.

So too, ". . . [Elohim] does not stand afar off as I struggle to speak. He cares enough to

listen with more than casual attention. He translates my scrubby words and hears what is

truly inside. He hears my sighs and uncertain gropings as fine prose."5

Far more important than pronouncing the divine name The Precise Way the angels say it,

is to know the meaning of the name. It is only when the meaning of the name isunderstood, that one can fully exercise faith in the power of the One Who bears that

name. It is here that the importance of knowing the Father's personal name is seen in its

importance.

When the divine name is understood in its fullness, it is seen to be a promise. This

promise itself inspires all to call upon the Creator for every need. Certain titles are

acceptable to use when calling upon the Almighty. The Saviour Himself has encouraged

us to call upon the Omnipotent One. To strengthen our confidence in Elohim, the Saviour

has taught us to call upon Him by a new name, a title that is entwined with the closestaffections and deepest love of the human heart. He has given us the honor of calling

Elohim our "Father."

This name, spoken to Him and of Him, is a sign of our love and trust toward

Him, and a pledge of His regard and relationship to us. Spoken when

asking His favor or blessing, it is as music in His ears. That we might not

think it presumption to call Him by this name, He has repeated it again and

again. He desires us to become familiar with the appellation [name]. . . .

[Elohim] regards us as His children. He has redeemed us out of the

careless world and has chosen us to become members of the royal family,sons and daughters of the heavenly King. He invites us to trust in Him with

a trust deeper and stronger than that of a child in his earthly father. Parents

love their children, but the love of . . . [Elohim] is larger, broader, deeper,

than human love can possibly be. It is immeasurable. Then if earthly

parents know how to give good gifts to their children, how much more shall

our Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?6

Scripture tells us that Elohim is LOVE. (See 1 John 4:8.) As the embodiment of pure

love, He does not set exacting standards of bodily position or perfect pronunciation before

He will listen to our prayers. He assures every hesitant soul, "All that come to Me, I will in

no wise cast out." (See John 6:37.) In His "Sermon on the Mount" the Saviour taught

what kinds of prayer are acceptable and what kinds of prayer are unacceptable to Elohim.

He said:

When you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray

standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may

be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. . . . [And]

when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they

think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like

them.7

Prayer is never to be a particular set of words or motions we go through in order to buydivine favor. The Saviour explained that such tradition and theatrics were unnecessary

when speaking to the Father.

But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your

door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father whosees in secret will reward you openly. . . . For your Father knows the things

you have need of before you ask Him.8

Prayer is not for the purpose of making known to Elohim our needs. He already knows

our needs and has the way all planned to provide for us.

Prayer is the opening of the heart to . . . [the Father] as to a friend. Not that

it is necessary in order to make known to . . . [Elohim] what we are, but in

order to enable us to receive Him. Prayer does not bring . . . [the Father]

down to us, but brings us up to Him.9

Or, as Oswald Chambers once said: "Our ordinary views of prayer are not found in the

New Testament. We look upon prayer as a means for getting something for ourselves;

the Bible idea of prayer is that we may get to know . . . [Elohim] Himself." This is the

purpose of prayer, and it is the reason why it is important to know the divine Name.

Elohim's personal name is as holy as Himself and it is a revelation of His character.

When a person knows Elohim as his loving Father, he will have the trust to call upon His

name in prayer. This will not be a lazy, half-hearted, vague prayer. Charles H. Spurgeon,

the well-respected minister from the 19th century once observed: "There is a general kind

of praying which fails for lack of precision. It is as if a regiment of soldiers should all fire

off their guns anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the

enemy would be missed." A person who trusts his Maker as he trusts his human father,

will not be afraid to lay out his needs in as simple and trusting a manner as a child asks

for a drink of water when he is too short to reach the faucet.

We are to trust to the promise of . . . [Elohim]. We are to go about our

business believing that . . . [He] will do

just what He has said He would do, and

that the blessings we have prayed for

will come to us when we most need

them. Every petition enters into the

heart of . . . [the Father] when we come

believing. We have not faith enough.

We should look upon our heavenly

Father as more willing to help us than an

earthly parent is to help his child. Whynot trust Him? "He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for

us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" (Romans

8:32)10

Prayer is a privilege, but it is not a luxury that one can take or leave at the dictates of

whim or time. Calling upon the Name of the Father is a vital necessity! As the great

Protestant Reformer, John Wesley, once observed: "I have so much to do that I spend

several hours in prayer before I am able to do it."

Prayer is the breath of the soul, the channel of all blessings. As . . . therepentant soul offers its prayer, . . . [the Father] sees its struggles, watchesits conflicts, and marks its sincerity. He has His finger upon its pulse, andHe takes note of every throb. Not a feeling thrills it, not an emotion agitatesit, not a sorrow shades it, not a sin stains it, not a thought or purpose movesit, of which He is not cognizant. That soul was purchased at an infinite cost,and is loved with a devotion that is unalterable.11

One who loves his heavenly Father, will not hesitate to call upon His name in every trial or

perplexity. Trusting in the love and power of the One Who bears the name of promise, it

is a natural thing to follow Paul's instructions: "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in

everything give thanks; for this is the will of . . . [Elohim] in . . . [the Saviour] for you." (1

Thessalonians 5:16-18, NKJV) The Saviour

10E. G. White, That I May Know Him, p. 230.

11E. G. White, Maranatha, p. 85.

has urged that His people pray without ceasing. This does not mean that we

should always be upon our knees, but that prayer is to be as the breath of

the soul. Our silent requests, wherever we may be, are to be ascending

unto . . . [the Father], and . . . [the Saviour] our Advocate pleads in our

behalf, bearing up with the incense of His righteousness our requests to the

Father.12

It is not possible to be continually on one's knees. However, the heart may be drawn to

the Father in prayer. When in trouble, when sad or confused, prayers, like arrows flown

heavenward, receive the immediate attention of the Father. In His presence is fullness of

joy! It is our privilege to be in His presence when we pray. Therefore, prayer should be

as natural to His children as breathing. "Accustom yourself gradually to carry Prayer into

all your daily occupation -- speak, act, work in peace, as if you were in prayer, as indeed

you ought to be."

13

Tell . . . [the Father] all that is in your heart, as one unloads one's heart, its

pleasures and its pains, to a dear friend. Tell . . . [Him] your troubles, that . .

. [He] may comfort you; . . . [tell Him] your longings, that . . . [He] may purify

them; tell . . . [Him] your dislikes, that . . . [He] may help you conquer them;

talk to . . . [the Father] of your temptations, that . . . [He] may shield you from

them: show . . . [Elohim] the wounds of your heart, that . . . [He] may heal

them. If you thus pour out all your weaknesses, needs, troubles, there will

be no lack of what to say. Talk out of the abundance of the heart, without

consideration say just what you think. Blessed are they who attain to suchfamiliar, unreserved intercourse with . . . [their Maker].14

While engaged in our daily work, we should lift the soul to heaven in prayer.These silent petitions rise like incense before the throne of grace; and theenemy is baffled. The Christian whose heart is thus stayed upon . . .[Elohim] cannot be overcome. No evil arts can destroy his peace. All thepromises of . . . [the Father's] word, all the power of divine grace, all theresources of . . . [the Omnipotent One], are pledged to secure hisdeliverance.

It is a wonderful thing that we can pray effectually, that unworthy, erringmortals possess the power of offering their requests to . . . [their Creator].What higher power can man desire than this,--to be linked with the infinite . .

. [One]? Feeble, sinful man has the privilege of speaking to his Maker. Wemay utter words that reach the throne of the Monarch of the universe. Wemay speak with . . . [our Saviour] as we walk by the way, and He says, I amat thy right hand.

We may commune with . . . [the Father] in our hearts; we may walk incompanionship with . . . [His Son]. When engaged in our daily labor, wemay breathe out our heart's desire, inaudible to any human ear; but thatword cannot die away into silence, nor can it be lost. Nothing can drown thesoul's desire. It rises above the din of the street, above the noise ofmachinery. It is . . . [Elohim] to whom we are speaking, and our prayer isheard.

Ask, then; ask, and ye shall receive. Ask for humility, wisdom, courage,increase of faith. To every sincere prayer an answer will come. It may notcome just as you desire, or at the time you look for it; but it will come in the

way and at the time that will best meet your need. The prayers you offer inloneliness, in weariness, in trial, . . . [your Father] answers, not alwaysaccording to your expectations, but always for your good.15

When you call upon the name of the Father, you may not always seeor feelan immediateresponse. However, your prayer is

always immediately heard. It is oftensaid that sometimes the answer is yes;sometimes the answer is no; andsometimes the answer is wait awhile.

But too often, people give up too soon.

They either do not persevere in praying,

or they think perhaps they are asking for

something too large and ask for

something smaller. However, the Father

"does not delay to hear our prayers because He has no mind to give; but that, by

enlarging our desires, He may give us the more largely."16

Sometimes a person just learning to pray is unsure how to pray. It is always appropriateto give thanks to your Creator. Tell Him what you are thankful for! You can also pray

what has come to be known as "The Lord's Prayer." This is the prayer which the Saviour

taught in His Sermon on the Mount:

15E. G. White, Messages to Young People, pp. 249-250.

16Anselm of Caterbury


23/107

23

Our Father which art in heaven,

Hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.

Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13, KJV)

This is also the prayer that He taught His disciples. (See Luke 11:2-4.) It is the model

prayer because it acknowledges the Father in Heaven, it asks for His will to be done, it

lays out the simple needs and asks for spiritual blessings, while leaving all to Him Who is

infinite in wisdom. There would be nothing wrong with praying this perfect prayer to close

one's own private times of prayer every day.

Secret prayer, prayer prayed in the privacy of one's own heart, brings divine strength

needed by all who would overcome in the warfare against sin and self. However, there

are other types of prayer that can be a great blessing as well. Praying in groups can be a

tremendous blessing, as the Holy Spirit comes and draws hearts together in unison and

up to Elohim. Sometimes, if there is a large group, people will break up into small groups

of four or five.

Another way to pray that brings tremendous blessings is praying "in one accord." One

person starts the prayer and tells the Father what is on his heart. Another person can joinin at any time, and anyone else can, too. When praying around a circle, one at a time,

the Holy Spirit can bring thoughts to the mind that, by the time one's own turn comes to

pray, have already been forgotten. Being free to speak up and pray "in one accord" as

the Spirit moves is a deeply enriching and spiritually uplifting experience.

The Creator has given every encouragement for His children to call upon His name.

Our heavenly Father waits to bestow upon us the fullness of His blessing. Itis our privilege to drink largely at the fountain of boundless love. What a

wonder it is that we pray so little! . . . [Elohim] is ready and willing to hearthe sincere prayer of the humblest of His children, and yet there is muchmanifest reluctance on our part to make known our wants to . . . [Him].What can the angels of heaven think of poor helpless human beings, whoare subject to temptation, when . . . [the Creator's] heart of infinite loveyearns toward them, ready to give them more than they can ask or think,and yet they pray so little and have so little faith? The angels love to bowbefore . . . [their Maker]; they love to be near Him. They regard communion


24/107

24

with . . . [their Creator] as their highest joy; and yet the children of earth,who need so much the help that . . . [Elohim] only can give, seem satisfiedto walk without the light of His Spirit, the companionship of His presence.

The darkness of the evil one encloses those who neglect to pray. The

whispered temptations of the enemy entice them to sin; and it is all becausethey do not make use of the privileges that . . . [the Father] has given themin the divine appointment of prayer. Why should the sons and daughters of .. . [Elohim] be reluctant to pray, when prayer is the key in the hand of faith tounlock heaven's storehouse, where are treasured the boundless resourcesof Omnipotence?17

Call upon the name of your Creator! He is waiting with longing heart to answer your

prayers. He will be found by all who call upon His name in faith.

4.The Personal Name of the Father

Go to Lessons Index Go To Quiz (offline/online)

The very last chapter of the last book of the Old Testament contains a beautiful prophecy:

But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with

healing in His wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the

stall, and ye shall tread down the wicked. (Malachi 4:2, 3a, KJV)

This prophecy is a promise that all who love, reverence and fear the name of the Almighty

will grow up (in their spiritual understanding) and tread down all the lies of the wicked.

The prophecy further promises: "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet . . . And he

shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their

fathers." (Malachi 4:5, 6)

The Israelites applied this prophecy to the coming of the

promised Deliverer. They believed that Elijah himself would

return from heaven to let everyone know Messiah had come.

Centuries later, when Peter, James and John saw Elijah

standing with the Saviour when He was transfigured shortly

before His death, they were confused. They asked Him: "Why

then say the scribes that Elias [Elijah] must first come?"

The Messiah knew that they were referring to this prophecy of

Malachi and He gave a two-fold answer in reply:

"Elias [Elijah] truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto

you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto

him whatsoever they listed [wished]. . . . Then the disciples understood that

He spake unto them of John the Baptist." (See Matthew 17:1-13.)

This is an intriguing reply. It has two parts:

1. "Elias is come already and they knew him not but have done unto him whatever

they wanted." The disciples clearly understood this to refer to John the Baptist

who had proclaimed the Messiah's arrival.

2. "Elias truly shallfirst come." This is even more intriguing because it is spoken inthe future tense. There was an Elijah that was yet to come who had not come yet!

What was the purpose of this future Elijah? To "restore all things!"

All have inherited errors and traditions passed down from paganism. Often these

traditions were handed down out of ignorance of the truth. On other matters, such as the

Holy name of the Creator, scribes and translators have actively changed what was

originally written. Now, in the closing days of earth's history, knowledge is being

increased as promised in Daniel 12:4. In the approaching "time of trouble, such as never

was since there was a nation" (Daniel 12:1) those who are faithful to their Creator will

need to exercise faith in His power to keep them and provide for their needs when every

earthly support is cut off.

It is for "such a time as this" that the divine name is being restored.

"For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name ofthe . . . [the Creator], to serve Him with one consent." Zephaniah 3:9

The personal name of the Heavenly Father is not "God" or "Lord." These are merely titles an

cannot inspire faith in Him as the Creator because they are words that are also applied to paga

gods, magistrates, titled members of the nobility or, a long time ago, even a husband!

There are a number of suggested names among those who want to use the Father's person

name. One of the most common variations is Yahweh. Another variant is Jehovah, which arobefore it was understood that ancient Hebrew did not contain a "J" sound. However a care

study of the Bible, comparing Scripture with Scripture, reveals that neither of these names

correct.

The true, personal name of the Omnipotent Creator is: Yahuwah. Written without vowels, aswas in ancient Hebrew, it is spelled: YHWH. While this may sound odd to modern ears, it is

name rich in meaning and beauty. In the modern English alphabet, each letter represents

particular sound or sometimes two. However, each letter in ancient Hebrew represented mu

more: pictograph (picture), syllable (name), mnemonic (meaning) and phonetic (sound).

YHWH

The early Semitic pictograph of the first letter is an arm and hand. The meanin

of this letter is work, make and throw - all functions of the hand. The Mode

Hebrew name yud is a derivative of the two letter word yad meaning "handthe original name for the letter.

The original pictograph for the next letter is a man standing with his arms raised. The

Semitic pictograph

of an arm and hand.

"Behold!"


29/107

29

original and Modern Hebrew for this letter is hey. The Hebrew word hey means

behold. This word can also mean breath or sigh as one does when looking at a great

sight. The meaning of the letter is behold, look, breath, sighand revealor revelationfrom the idea of revealing a great sight by pointing it out.

The original pictograph used in the Early Semitic script for WAW is a , a

picture of a tent peg. The tent pegs were made of wood and may have been

Y-shaped to prevent the rope from slipping off.

The holy name ends in another "hey." In symbology, then, the name of the

eternal Father in the ancient Hebrew reveals His plan of salvation through His

only begotten Son: Hand, behold, nail, behold. How wonderful our Father

is!

In Modern Hebrew, the name looks like this:18

There are two ways words move between languages:

A word is translated when its meaning, its definition is expressed in the new language.Sometimes, the words can be completely different. For example, in English, the tall

buildings that rise many stories high are called "skyscrapers." In French, the term is "sky-

scratchers." Such substitution is perfectly acceptable in translation where the main thrust

is to communicate the original meaning.

Transliteration is what is commonly done with names. When a word is transliterated, the

attempt is to find letters in the new language that come the closest to making the correct

sound. An example of this is found in the English name, John. The Russian equivalent ofJohn is "Ivan" . . . however that is not how "Ivan" is spelled in the Russian Cyrillic

alphabet. The letters between the Cyrillic alphabet and the English alphabet are

completely different. Therefore, although "Ivan" is translated into English as "John," it is

transliteratedfrom the Russian letters into "Ivan."

When it comes to understanding the personal name of the Creator, it is important to knowboththe meaning of His name (for that is what inspires faith) andhow to pronounce it.

There are several variations in spelling: Yahuah, IOUA, IOUO, IAUE, etc. However, using

standard English rules of spelling and pronunciation, Yahuwah is the clearest spelling that

provides the closest approximation of the original sounds.

Josephus the Jewish historian wrote that the set-apart name consisted of"four vowels" (Jewish Wars, 5. 5. 7.). Why did Josephus write this? Please

consider the following thoughts.

Remember, Josephus was writing to a Greek audience! He first wrote hishistory [at least his notes] in Hebrew Aramaic (Antiquities 12.5. 1-4footnotes; Against Apion1. 9). After the Jewish/Roman war, he had time,and with long perseverance, he mastered the Greek language, andcompiled his history in Koine Greek, which was the international language ofthe world at that time. Though it was the international language, do notthink it was the every day language in Israel, for it was not!

Josephus frequently altered Hebrew names, spelling them after the fashion

of the Greeks, "to please [his Greek] readers" (Antiquities 1. 5. 1.).Josephus describes the head-gear worn by the Levitical priest:

"Of this was a crown made, as far from the hinder part of the head to eachof the temples; but this ... did not cover the forehead, but it was covered bya golden plate, which had inscribed upon it the Name of (Elohim) in SET-APART CHARACTERS." (Antiquities 3. 7. 6. set-apart title and emphasisadded).


31/107

31

The term HOLY CHARACTERS, means not just Hebrew letters, but theancient Hebrew, known as Paleo-Hebrew, used in the time of Moses, andDavid.

Anciently, even the Greek language, like the Hebrew, was written from right

to left. Also, the ancient Greek letters were similar to Paleo-Hebrew.Therefore, the ancient Greek would have written the set-apart name very

similar to the ancient Hebrew, which appeared like this: . TheModern Greek equivalent would be written IHYH, and understood as IEUE.But do not think that this, in any wise, proves the pronunciation of the set-apart name. Josephus was writing to the Greeks, the equivalent of YHWH.It was from this [Greek form] that the heathen formed their Jeue, Jove, andJeve (see Adam Clarke's Commentaryon Exodus 3:14)

It is true that the letters , , can function as vowel letters. Let usconsider a few examples: the yod acts as a vowel in the words "Eli" (Mt27:46) also #430 Elohim, #4899 Mashiach, ish(Gen 2:23 margin KJV) etc.Yet it also functions as a consonant in other words like #3050 Yah, #2968ya ab, etc. Sometimes it acts as a vowel and a consonant all in the sameletter, as in Eliyah, where it is a double yod.

"The is stronger and firmer than , and never loses it's consonantalsound in a middle of a word . . . . On the other hand, at the end of a word itis always a mere vowel letter, unless expressly marked by Mappiq as a

strong consonant." (As in Yahh, and Eloahh) Gesenius' HebrewGrammar, p. 81

The waw also can act as a vowel in words like #452 Eliyahu, #3194 Yutahetc.. It also carries the "o" sound, as in #3117 yom. On the other hand, itacts like a consonant in words like #2331 chavah, actually the consonant isnot a V, but as in Arabic, or as the English sound of "w".

Sometimes the acts like a vowel and a consonant all in the same letter;they can also be consonants, depending on the usage.

Concerning the Set-Apart Name, the structure of the letters tell us that the

yod is a consonant, as in the word YAH (Ps. 68:4 & Isa. 12:2; 26:4; 38:11NKJV). Also the is a consonant, since "it never loses its consonantalsound in the middle of a word." Gesenius' Hebrew Grammar, p. 81

Also, the waw always acts as a consonant when ending words (except

in Eloahh). When Hebrew-words end with "uah" sound, it is


32/107

32

expressed in Hebrew as or ; therefore, if the Hebrew word ends

, it will always act as a consonant, ending like "wah" or "weh" etc.

The final in is the vowel letter in the set-apart name, "at the end of aword it is always a mere vowel letter." Gesenius' Hebrew Grammar p. 81

Conclusion: When Josephus said "four vowels", he was talking to his Greekaudience trying to express the Tetragrammaton in a way that they would

comprehend, trans-letter-ating from Paleo-Hebrew , which in

Paleo Greek was , then into modern Greek, thus arriving withIHYH (literally IEUE.)19

The Israelites never "forgot" the divine name. It was an integral part of many of their own

names! It is from these other names that we get confirmation that the correct

pronunciation of the divine name is not Jehovah, or Yahweh but Yahuwah: ya WHO uh,or sometimes YAH whuh.

Even in New Testament times, parents gave their children names containing part of

Yahuwah's name:

#2197 Zacharias (ZacharYAHU - Yahuwah has remembered)

#2993 Matthew (MattithYAHU - gift of YAHUWAH)

#2491 John (Yahchanan - YAHUWAH favored)

Even Simon Peter's name, sometimes translated Cephas, was actually KephAH, meaning

"my rock is Yahuwah."

In the ancient world, far more than today, people understood the power of the divine

name. It is possible that this understanding was at least partially responsible for the

Israelite attempts to change or hide the name. "In Egypt, for example, the concept of the

'concealed Name' was extremely common."20

Some scholars state that belief in the power within a god's name extended so far as to

lead the followers to hide the name. This was done because the people feared that if apersonal (or national) enemy learned the name of their god, the enemy could entice that

god away to aid himself! It is possible that such a fear led the Israelites to try to hide the

name of the Creator from their enemies. What is far more likely, however, is that during

the wars with Babylon and the subsequent Babylonian captivity, the name was

deliberately hidden by unconsecrated priests in an attempt to guard it from blasphemy by

the pagans. (One must remember that the entire reason the Israelites were taken into

Babylonian captivity was because they were not truly committed to the worship of

Yahuwah.)

Jeremiah (whose name, YiremYAHU meant "exalted of Yahuwah") was the lone faithful

prophet during the final dark days of Israel's fall to the Babylonians. An insight into how

the Israelites justified "hiding" the name of the Almighty is recorded in a passage where

Yahuwah Himself speaks:

I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in My name, saying I

have dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the

prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their

own heart; Which think to cause My people to forget My name by their

dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers haveforgotten My name for Baal. (Jeremiah 23:25-27, KJV)

Whatever the reason, it is unfortunate that the very name on which all are to call has been

so long unknown. Satan knows that the name of the Almighty contains the power that

brought the universe into existence. He also knows that all who call upon that name in

faith, willreceive an answer of peace. It has greatly pleased the Devil to have the nameburied and all but forgotten.

There is no excuse for hiding the name of the only One that is a very present help introuble. Salvation is of Yahuwah alone and in order to heed the instruction of scripture

and call upon His name, all must know the name.

In this time of prevailing iniquity, a loving Creator is revealing His long-forgotten name:

Yahuwah.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name ofYahuwah shall be delivered. Joel 2:32

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the nameof Yahuwah our Mighty One." Psalm 20:7

Call upon the name of Yahuwah. He will hear and answer the prayer of faith.
