We are walking in today:  The Third Commandment Wrap-up, Do Not Misuse Yahweh's Name

Witness provide throughout the Bible:  H7200 ra'ah  to see, look at, inspect, perceive, consider, have vision, to observe, to watch
Genesis 22:8, 30:30; Exodus 18:21; 1 Samuel 16:17; 2 Chronicles 2:7; Psalm 78:20-22; Matthew 10:9-10; Luke 12:33; Acts 23:24; Romans 12:17; 1 Timothy 5:8
​Fiveamprayer, it is the reverence and honor that we are to give to Yahweh that was altered.  The use of titles for our almighty God, Yahweh.  This came about while some did not want to have His name misused, has over the centuries come to not be uttered at all.  The respect needed is not shown in referring to Him by a title for there are others that can be called lord for that is a title used in countries that have royalty.  Much as we have discovered that the many pagan gods that we have been blinded to, are found in many of our common practices in worshiping the Creator of the world, Yahweh.  We must not lump all of these terms together, ​else how do we tell the difference?  Our instruction to give His name honor is also a protection that we would not be misled into to worshiping the pagan gods that others worship.  Much has been done to protect us to remain in His safety.  Yet with changing of one thing here and another thing there, over time and generations, in which each do the same thing--we find ourselves far from our desired destination.  We have been taken so off course that many of us did not know at all, where we were supposed to be heading.  So not only did the path change but the destination.  These small changes seemly insignificant and yet when considered collectively amount to a whole lot.  All praises to Yahweh for bringing us back to the beginning!  The more that we study the beginning of the Bible we find better understanding for the latter part of the Bible.  Which is the case with most books, you read from the beginning.  Often in many books there and important things that are referred to throughout the book that is first introduced in the beginning.  The honor that we are to give to Him, to be a faithful bride to Yahweh our husband, would include not diminishing His word nor His name. When we find ourselves distant or not understanding our lives we need to remember what He had given us to do.  To hear more of this teaching click here.
