THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU - LUKE17:21
"THE KINGDOM OF GOD DOES NOT COME WITH YOUR CAREFUL OBSERVATION, NOR WILL PEOPLE SAY, 'HERE IT IS,' OR 'THERE IT IS,' BECAUSE THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU." LUKE 17:21
Behold the Nail, Behold the Hand - Exodus 3:14.... "This is my name to remain hidden." - Part One.
This is very interesting ... Do you speak Aramaic ? Hebrew ?
In Exodus 3:14 God tells Moses that his name is " I am that I am " ...
"... God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."
In Hebrew letters it is spelled yod - heh - vav - heh and looks like this :(read from right to left)
But How is this word spoken in Hebrew ? No one knows because it has not been spoken for 2,200 years.
"As an expression of the infinite greatness and majesty of God, it was held to be unpronounceable and hence was replaced during the reading of sacred Scripture by means of the use of an alternate name: 'Adonai,' which means 'Lord.'", However "until almost the year 200 B.C., the divine name was pronounced every morning in the temple in the priestly blessing: 'The Lord bless and keep you: The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you'" (Numbers 6:24-26)
And it would appear that toward the end of the period of the second temple -- 70 A.D. -- the high priest now only pronounced the word in a whisper. This was explained in a childhood memory of Rabbi Tarphon (1st-2nd centuries), who recalls that even straining to hear, he could not hear the name.
