What about Jehovah?
Some Christians, especially Jehovah's witnesses, use this name for
the Heavenly Father. However, every scholar and every reference
book I have ever checked on "Jehovah" (including Jehovah's witness
tracts) has said that this is not the way you pronounce His name!
First of all it is impossible because of the fact that the Hebrew
language has no "J" sound! According to the Encyclopaedia
Brittanica, 1991 under the heading "Yahweh", here is how this name
came into being:
"The Masoretes, who from about the 6th to the 10th century worked
to reproduce the original text of the Hebrew Bible, replaced the
vowels of the name YHWH with the vowel signs of the Hebrew word
Adonai or Elohim. Thus the artificial name Jehovah (YeHoWaH) came
into being."
So we see here one of many confirmations that the name Jehovah is
not really His name at all! But it is a artificial name that was
invented by man. Does man have the right to change the name of the
one who created him? I think not! But that is exactly what has
happened here.
