Greetings again Aunty Jane, While I was looking up Genesis 3:1 in the NWT I decided to consider Psalm 8 and I was interested in the following: Psalm 8:5 (NWT Internet Study Bible): You made him a little lower than godlike ones (margin: or, than angels),*And you crowned him with glory and...

Psalm 72 - The Kingdom of God Soon to be Established on Earth Psalm 72 (KJV - with headings added) A Psalm for Solomon The King's Son 1 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son. 2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. 3...

Greetings TheHC, I understand that this is speaking about the fact that the Gospel would be preached and received by the Gentiles. The first sheep were the disciples among the Jews who Jesus was speaking to here. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings again Aunty Jane, (part 2) We believe that Jesus will convert a significant remnant of natural Israel when he returns and after the Battle of Armageddon, e.g. Ezekiel 38. One of the main Scriptures that I suggest when a JW comes to the door are Acts 1:11 and Acts 3:19-21. Most of the...

Greetings again Aunty Jane, (part 1) There is quite a lot for me to catch up with. I will try to be brief. I can accept what the KJV translators did. My view is that it is important to understand the Yahweh Name first, partly out of reserve and reverence for the Holiness of God's Name. There...

Greetings PS95 and Greetings again Aunty Jane, This is relatively valid, in that the faithful are now Spiritual Israel, but I find the JW 144,000 distinction strange, as I consider ALL of the faithful are Spiritual Israel. If you are alluding to Romans 11, the conversion of natural Israel at...

Greetings again Aunty Jane, It is too late at night in Eastern Australia for me to answer or discuss with you in detail. I would like to let you know that although I had a copy of the KJV which I used, both at home, and at Sunday School, the first Bible that I actually purchased was the green...

The Yahweh Name (cont’d) The first two Posts established that Yahweh is the One God who acted to deliver Israel out of Egypt. There are many passages after these events where the Yahweh Name appears and perhaps one of the most important of these is mentioned below, and this is extensively quoted...

The Yahweh Name (cont’d) In my first post I mentioned that the margin of the Revised Version has "I will be" for Exodus 3:14, and one of the supporters of this rendition could have been AB Davidson as he was one of the Hebrew scholars engaged in the production of the RV. Please note that I do...

The Yahweh Name Part 2 The Fulfilment in our Lord Jesus Christ The initial fulfilment was not the ultimate completion of the Yahweh Name. God’s purpose with the earth was not complete with the salvation of Israel out of Egypt. God’s purpose was declared in the following, but sadly this was...

The Yahweh Name Part 1 Initial Declaration and Fulfilment The following is a consideration of the Yahweh Name that was revealed in Exodus 3:14-15. It is hoped that the following comments will help to explain some of the language of both the OT and NT and the true role of our Lord Jesus Christ...

Greetings again Aunty Jane, As far as the KJV is concerned, tey have indicated where YHWH occurs by using LORD and GOD. As far as Bibles are concerned I read from the RV/KJV Interlinear, both at home and at our meeting. I also have next to me a NASB Study Bible at our meetings for quicker...

Greetings again Aunty Jane, I was speaking of the derivation not the pronunciation. "Jehovah" is an incorrect rendition of the YHWH Name. "Jehovah" is erroneous. Perhaps you are reticent to in any way consider Strong's as JWs are discouraged to use outside reference material. You seem to...

Greetings tigger 2 and Greetings again Aunty Jane, Yes, I am aware that various translations use "Jehovah". The American Committee of the ASV uses it consistently in the OT, whereas the English equivalent RV mainly follows the KJV and gives LORD and GOD when translating YHWH. I already...

Greetings again Aunty Jane, Jehovah is recognised as an incorrect rendition of the YHWH Name and many scholars suggest Yahweh. Strongs' gives the following definitions and this gives some indication why the erroneous form "Jehovah" occurred. "Jehovah" is based upon reading the wrong vowel...

Greetings Aunty Jane, "Jehovah" is an erroneous rendition of the YHWH Name, and most scholars prefer Yahweh. This is explained in early JW literature but is suppressed in most modern JW literature. Kind regards Trevor

A Few Thoughts on Psalm 1 This is an impressive Psalm and is an introduction to the Book of Psalms. Two sets of people and two ways are revealed, summed up in the last verse, the way of the ungodly and the way of the righteous. The righteous class are introduced in the first phrase, but it is...
