According to the Christian bible, GOD is given many names among them are EL AND ADONAI. YAHWEH is believed to have been revealed to his people by the prophet Moses. The name was considered holy and therefore the letters YHWH were instead used to act as a reminder for one to use Lord instead of God name. The name has however changed over the ages to Jehovah which what is commonly used today.
Intellectuals dispute that the consonants YHWH ought to be deciphered to mean He Who Makes That Which Has Been Made. This is because it is understood that it was a verb in the prehistoric days that meant to be. This meaning can be supported by the books John and Exodus. The articulation however is not known.
He is also recognized as the God of the desert, which can be comprehended from the bible as the Israelites were crossing to Canaan from Egypt. When they settled conferring to the account, devotion as the singular deity was inducted across the land-dwelling. It was communal practice during that age that every single divinity was only accessible in the land where He presided. Greece gods did not exist in Egypt and so did Egyptian gods exist in Greece.
As a fellow of one of the Israelite pantheon, it is believed that He also had His own consort known as Asherah. The occurrence of monotheism in Israel has therefore been a late phenomenon, fleeting via different stages before unswerving monotheism became the custom in Babylonian Exile. In contrary to other gods, Hebrews worshiped without idols to represent their God.
In history, in the course of the arrival to Canaan by the Israelite its alleged that the original people of Canaan were polytheistic. There was however no hostility between the people. The scriptural narrative is understood to be against the polytheistic philosophy of these Canaanites.
Records show that the name was used during monarchial period in Israel . That is up to the time that the land was subjugated by Nebuchadnezzar during his tenure as king. The detainees of the fighting included elites such as pharmacists, scholars, and teachers. The subjects usually gathered in synagogues where the younger people were given advises and practiced their essential dialect. This ensured that Hebrew culture was well conserved.
Following the end of monarchial rule, a re-examination of traditions began. The term ceased to be vocalized and was only used once a year by the high priest during the Day of Atonement. The term is used in combination with other names all with different meaning such as shalom, rapha, nissi among others. The significance of the name is that it confirms the existence of God. He is therefore seen as to allow His people to call him personally rather than formally.
In closing, in prehistoric times, a character of a person can be told by the name that was given to them. This term is hence seen as conveying the character of always been available to his people by the Israelite god.
