A guide to eternal life: God’s Word. Patience, hope, confidence and security to all readers searching their way and believing in the one who walked along in front of them. Who is it? “THE SON OF GOD!” He revealed his glory taking the shame of our sins, our debts, our injustice, our lawlessness and paid the high price with his blood so that we may live eternally {if we wish to do so} and accept his sacrifice. Himself he calls us brothers and sisters, those who love Him and stick by His commandments, the precepts of his Father. (John 17:24, Matthew 12:48-49; Mark 3:33-34; Luke 8:20-21)

Shortly before the end of the grace period and the second coming of the Messiah, this work appears to honor and glorify the Almighty, living and only God, the Father. Over 7,000 times His name was mentioned in the Tanakh (Old Testament), however he completely disappeared from our translations, but the name “Satan” remained unchanged in the Scriptures.

Also in public the vast majority of people do not know the God of the Bible, much less his name. However, the name “Satan” is well known to all people. Satan does not care about the sequence of letters in his name or with which other letters or words his name is combined. The main thing is that he is either consciously or unconsciously worshipped and admired by people (for example Titan, Santa, Santa Claus, etc. - written differently depending on the language; even used with city names, such as Santa Cruz, whereby the Cross [Cruz] was transferred from paganism to Christianity).

One of many testimonies about the name of God can be found in the appendix of this works.

The name of our unique God, the Father, as called by the Israelites and how it is still written in the Bethel Bible and the Hebrew edition, is “YAHWEH.” - Deuteronomy 6:4:

“... YAHWEH is our God, YAHWEH is ONE.“

YAHWEH means: “’I am’, who I am; I am he who exists, I will always exist; and all that exists, exists through me!” (see Exodus 3:14)

In Exodus 3:6 YAHWEH said to Moses: “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.”

YAHWEH, furthermore, said to Moses in Exodus 3:15: “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘YAHWEH, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations.”

(see also I Corinthians 8:6; 11:3; Revelation 1:4+8).

The preface of the Darby (Elberfelder) Bible of 2004 says: “The main text contains the letters YHWH, during the review the decision was made in favor of “LORD” in place of “Yahweh” (see Exodus 3:15).

In the Schlachter Version 2000 in the second footnote to Exodus 3:14 on page 63 a following notice can be found: “The Hebrew name of the God of Israel (reproduced in this translation by LORD; it probably sounded ‘ Yahweh’)...”

The preface of Hermann Menge’s translation of 1928, says: “I think special attention should be paid to following details, [point 4 in particular:

‘The Hebrew divine name Yahweh (Jehovah incorrect) has been rendered “HErr” (= German translation for Lord), different from “Herr” (German translation for Lord).’

In this present translation* the real name of God “YAHWEH” was reinstated at its old position instead of “Lord” (see Luther Bible) or “Lord”. Also here the Son of God was named „Master” and not with “Lord”. In the Hebrew Bibles, the four large letters “JHWH”, “YHWH” before 16th century, are read from right to left. These letters are provided with small hooks on the vowels serving as a kind of aid for the pronunciation of the Holy Name: YAHWEH.

* Luther Bible of 1545 and 1912 is a basis of this act.

“This, then, is how you should pray: “’Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name!” (Matthew 6:9)
