KNOW WHO YOU’RE TALKING
ABOUT
Have you noticed that a
lot of Christians are using the term “YAHWEH” or “YAH, instead of using the word,
“God”? I didn’t give it much thought until the other day when the Lord God of
the Bible gave me insight on what was going on. There is such a mish-mash of
gods and deities worshipped in the USA now, that we’re going to have be more
specific in our conversation and writing when it comes to who we’re talking about,
and not assume that just because a person uses the word, “God,” they’re talking
about the God that we know.
When I went to grade
school, we said the Pledge of Allegiance every day with “one nation under under
God.” Everyone back then understood that we meant one nation under the Judeo-Christian
God, the God of the Bible. But it’s not that way anymore. And now I know why in
the Old Testament we’re given other names to describe our God. One of those
names is Yahweh, which is the name God told Moses to give to the children of Israel to
call Him. In Exodus 3:15 and other places our God is called “the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.” He is called the Creator (Elohim)
of all things, “The Most High God”.
And by the way,
since the Most High God, our God, created all things, He also created Lucifer,
which makes Lucifer below God, and he (Lucifer, devil, Satan- which ever name
you call him) will always be beneath our
Almighty God in authority and power, no matter what form he or his minion
demons decide to take.
So, this gives me something to think about, as
far as my conversations and my writing. Please know that when I write, and I
use the capital “G” for God, I am referring to the Almighty God of the Bible, the
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Yahweh, and Elohim (The Creator).
When we read the Bible now, we can become more
aware of the culture, and the circumstances surrounding the believers, and see how
they speak of our God to distinguish Him from the other existing deities.
Know Who you’re talking about and let others
know too.
Love, Carolyn
