<–back to Names of God MainThe first thing I would just like to mention is that Jehovah is not actually a Hebrew word. It came later. The correct word is Yahweh. However, I use Jehovah for familiarity. The distance around the city shall be 18,000 [4 x 4,500] measures; and the name of the city from that day and ever after shall be, THE LORD IS THERE. - Ezekiel 48:35 (amp) "THE LORD IS THERE" (our future home a.k.a.: Heaven) came from the Hebrew words YHWH Shammah. (Note: read more about our future home here: Revelation 21:1-22:5)I am looking forward to Heaven and being with my Lord.

Jesus did not ONLY speak Aramaic. He also spoke Hebrew and … [Read more...]
