You may of noticed it or maybe you haven't. What? The removal of the proper name of God from Bibles, hymms and church services. A letter from from the Vatican dated June 29th 2008 and given to the presidents of Catholic bishops conferences states that the use of the proper name of the God of Israel had crept into services. This was to stop and the alternative adonai/kyrios was to be used instead.
The Kings James Version used to have God's proper name in bold type. This was found in 4 places: Ex. 6:3; Ps. 83:18; Isa. 12:2, 26:4. And that was it. In other places where the proper name of God was to be found, it was replaced with LORD or GOD to show to the reader who was being spoken about. The new version of the KJV has removed God's proper name from the text even though it would of existed in the original manuscripts the translation would of used and consulted.
Any who love the Name that is above all others will not be surprised by this at all. For Jehovah is determined to have a people willing to represent Him, who are willing to live, not by their standards but by His. As many know, that is not easy. But it does set apart those who claim to and those that do worship Him. Did not the Lord Jesus say to his followers that the world would be fond of what is it's own, but true Christians would be persecuted? They would be hated by this Satanic system because they adhere closely the words spoken by Jesus and his Father as contained in Holy Scripture.
Many people know what the proper name of God is. Still many more do not. Yet there will come a time when that Name will be known by everyone as Jehovah shows His strength for His people at His War of Armageddon. Until then, His people will let that name be made known in a work that cannot be stopped by governments no matter how hard they try.
If you love God, have a love for His Name and reputation, now is the time to reflect just where you are right now. How do you stand in your relationship with Jehovah? We all have to find room for improvements because we are imperfect. Yet many people before they found God lived terrible lives. Now they are so happy to find a way of life that gives them direction and purpose and a hope for the future, because they are in a faith that repsects and honours the Name of God, Jehovah. Are you among them?
