Greetings all:
I think that as beleivers in Yahshua The Messiah,
it is important to do as is spoken in Malachi,
"then they that feared Yahweh, spake often one
to another"
Where I am, there are not any beleivers in the
High Importance and significance of His Holy Name.
We are all at least in some partial deception.
For if we were in nothing but Truth, and Truth
only, we would be in the full blazing Light of the
Latter rain, The Refreshing, The Angel that came
down and gave power to the Third Angel,
Loudly Proclaiming "Fear Yahweh" and give "Praises
to His Name" I substituted Praises for glory, for
it is written "this fearful and glorious name".
This Name is honored when we keep His commandments
fully as best we can figure out how.
It is fully impossible to give glory to Him, if
one is fearful or afraid of earning a frown from
an unbeleiver, for this shows us that we care
more for the favor of men than for the Divine
favor. Thus none can be sealed with His Name
while fearful of proclaiming His Name. In Rev.
"outside are the fearful and unbeleiving".
This Name is salvation to us for it brings to
mind The Creator of all, inspiring hope, reverence
and something to cling to when all else crumbles
around us. We are more than animals and have been
empowered with the talent of language and speech,
therefore His Holy Name is important.
