When I was a kid growing up I had a Jewish friend whose mom said they never say God's Name because it's blasphemous to do so. Meanwhile my own mother always called God "Jehovah." Then I had another friend whose dad is a pastor who claimed "Yahweh" was God's Old Testament Name. It gets more complicated when I tell you that another friend of mine said God's Name is "Allah."
Needless to say growing up I realized plenty of religions probably had their own name for God but I truly wanted to know what I felt was probably the most important Name in the universe to know, 'what actually is God's true Name?' I mean, after all, shouldn't we as human beings also part of this vast universe at least know the name of the One responsible for all of this?
One thing made clear to me is that God's Divine Name was literally (4) Hebrew consonants and different denominations interpreted the consonants I would understand out to be
The Tetragrammaton, differently.
My goal was to understand why each denomination interprets the four consonants differently and more importantly, which one(s) had it right. As I delved deeper into my quest to know God's divine holy Name I realized no religion had a satisfactorily answer to my burning question. As an English student, the fact that (4) consonants having no vowels could be all there was to God's Name just didn't sit well with me. After all, didn't Almighty God create all languages? Would we not all agree that God is The Literary Genius? These questions all burned within my psyche because I was taught all words, no matter what, must contain at least one consonant and one vowel, especially names.
This need to know God's true name gave inspiration to this book.
They say "necessity" is the
mother to all inventions ... this need to know gave birth to
The Tetragrammaton.
