Please excuse lack of interpunct, my text has a life of it's own.

'Eh-yeh' 'Asher' 'Eh-yeh' The Hebrew verb Ha-yah' means "become" or "prove to be", what He will become towards others.

I think we all have our individual preaching methods and there is no 'set' answer to all. If what you do works for you, great I'm not trying to make spiritual foie gras 🤣

Time will tell but there seems to be 3 tiers active here.

Jehovah will have His message preached to the extent He has foretold, there may be ways that reach those that have yet to hear, that we are unaware of. Who would have thought, as recently as last year, that we'd be carrying out that preaching work using electronic means. It is not outside of the realms of possibility to consider Jehovah able to 'know' how a person 'would' react had they heard the good news. That's not what I'm saying will happen, I'm simply saying all things are possible with God, and some of those things may fall within the following scripture: Isaiah 55:9 - "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So my ways are higher than your ways And my thoughts than your thoughts" That is what faith and knowing Jehovah results in, absolute conviction that what He has said He will do, His way.

The fundamental difference between many here is the ability to anthropomorphise Jehovah God. Jehovah has written what he will do and He will choose the manner in which He carries it out, best left for Him to decide. Jehovah is never wrong but humans have the tendency to become overly concerned about matters that, not only do they not have the answers to, but also undermine their own faith and for whatever reason, that becomes a stone on a slippery pathway to self-justification and the ruination of their faith. Let Jehovah carry out His will, He knows better than we do what He is doing.

The title 'Elo'him' is used in the Hebrew scriptures for the following: Jehovah (the true God) Dagon (Philistine god) Nisroch (Assyrian god) ------------------------------------ The Greek term for God, Theo-os for: The true God Zeus (Roman Jupiter) Hermes (Mercury Novel) It is essential to distinguish the true God by the use of His personal name Jehovah.

James 1:13 "When under trial, let no one say: "I am being tried by God." For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone." It is a 'sign' of the last days.

Soft-pedalling the Bible's message is not going to help people.

To know God's name Jehovah, is more than just an awareness of it's existence.

Indicating humility.

Rev 7:14 Those that have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb. These are the ones that come out of the great tribulation.

Am I glad I carried out those on my bucket list in London mid 2018, just in time.

The Septuagint is a translation of the Hebrew scriptures into Greek, begun in the 3rd century B.C.E. It contained the divine name in the form of Greek characters or the Tetragrammaton.

Exodus 9:16 But for this very reason I have kept you in existence: to show you my power and to have my name declared in all the earth. It's quite possible that the Jews were concerned about non-Jews misusing Jehovah's name and so tried to keep it under wraps. As we can see from the scripture noted above, Jehovah is going to make His name known in all the earth. Isaiah 64:2 As when a fire ignites the brushwood, and the fire makes the water boil, Then your name would be known to your adversaries, And the nations would tremble before you! Clearly, Jehovah's name would be known throughout the earth.

I wonder if that's what your companion was thinking they'd say

There arose a superstition on the part of the Jews, concerning the utterance of Jehovah's name. I have experienced this whilst on the ministry. I knocked at a door and two men answered, I began to talk to them about the Bible and one of them asked who we were, I replied, "Jehovah's Witnesses", completely unaware of the small Mezuzah attached to the doorframe, he then put his finger to his mouth as if to say hush and closed the door. For me, that meant he recognised God's name, Jehovah. Now I say, I worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Isa 42:8 I am Jehovah. That is my name; I give my glory to no one else, nor my praise to graven images. Descriptive titles are: God, Sovereign Lord, Creator, Father, the Almighty and the Most High.

There would be catastrophic confusion if we were all called Mister or Miss

That's one of my favourites too, it is a fantastic film. I also have Samson and Delilah with Victor Mature and Hedy Lamarr.
