MATTHEW CHAPTER 6

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come . Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Here are helpful hints as we study:

Hagiadzo is the Koine Greek word used for "Hallowed Be..." Jesus had a specific point of reference from Torah and we often miss the point of reference or fail to connect the dots regarding His statement Our Father which art in Heaven hallowed be thy name. Both the Lords Prayer and the third commandment are designed to give an accurate perspective and the highest esteem to the "name of the Lord."

Jesus is referring to the "Ten Commandments." He was intimate with "Torah" and the Ten Commandments specifically "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain." Jesus is reiterating the 3rd commandment when He says "Our Father which art in Heaven hallowed be thy name. Jesus was saying the following:

According to the Torah you should know Gods name is holy. The twelve disciples who were Messianic Jews also knew Torah and could understand Jesus' point of reference in the Torah. Messianic Judaism is directly referenced in Revelation 7:4-8 as we interpret literally the 144,000 Jewish evangelists sealed by God twelve thousand from each tribe of Israel. Messianic Judaism shall be the final project implemented by Ha Shem in the end times. See it for yourself as we read the facts literally.

Jesus knew that the disciples having CHABAD training since their childhood as Jews were already familiar with the third commandment of Moshe which says the following thus what He was saying was not foreign to them:

Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God. The Lord will not let you go unpunished if you misuse his name. (NIV)

You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. (NLT)

Gods name can only be used to articulate his attributes but never associated with the unclean thing. His name must be set aside for Holy things only because He is Holy.

Orthodox Judaism never say or use the personal name of God to risk violating the third commandment. To address God the words Ha Shem is used in conversation and Adonai is used in prayer. "Ha" is a definite article which means "the" and "Shem" means "name" thus Ha Shem means "the name." When Orthodox Jews say the word Ha Shem they are referring to the holiest name in Judaism, the personal name of "God Our Father Which Art in Heaven" that they do not use. Adonai means "Lord" and in the Koine Greek of the New Testament the counter part for Lord used is "Kurios."How did we arrive at the names YaHWeH or JeHoVaH?

By transliteration which is using the letter of one alphabet to help pronounce the letter of another alphabet one to one or letter for letter so any person can pronounce a word in their own language.

From right to left for the letter "yode" we assigned a "Y" or a "J" to capture two alternative sounds.

For the "hay" second from the right we assigned an "H"

For the "Vav" third from the right we assigned a "V" from the english alphabet.

For the last "hay" we assigned an "H"

Thus we arrived at Y H V H all consonants so the word had no sounds. Thus we added vowels to give sound to the consonants and we arrived at Yahveh or YahWeh. The other alternative pronunciation was to use a "J" instead of Y thus we arrived at J H V H and added vowels to give the letters sound thus we arrived at Jehovah.

There is a greek term used to describe the personal name of God and the term is "Tetragrammaton" which means "a four letter word." Thus the personal name of God is also referred to as the "Tetragrammaton."

The take away from the names of God is to experience God personally and to know He is holy, awesome, worthy of our respect, worthy of applaud, honor and deep appreciation. As we pray "Our Father" "Which art in heaven" "hallowed be thy name" we linger at each interval, internalize who God is, His character and attributes, the vastness of His creation and respecting His personal name as hallowed. Note at the end of the prayer we come under His authority and gratefully receive His delegated authority.

There is only one God, there is no other God besides Him in all of eternity past, present and future and His name is JeHoVaH. This is the message of "Shema Yisrael Adonai elohenu Adonai ehad." Hear Oh Israel the Lord is our God, the Lord is one found in Deuteronomy 6:4-9. In this day and age we must be clear there is not a plurality of gods but there is only one God and one way to Him which is by faith in Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 6:3 says Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh Adonai Tsevaot melo khol ha arets kevodo. In English it says Holy, Holy, Holy the Lord of Hosts the fullness of all the earth His glory.

The concept of holy includes being entirely set apart from the common and the profane with full differentiation. Adonai is distinct, one of a kind, utterly peerless and without rival. With all of His holiness God is close to man His choice creation and we have to discipline ourselves not to take Him for granted and to comprehend the concept of His holiness. Let us draw near to Him as He is willing with full cognition of His holiness and receive His Spirit.

Chinese Version

從右到左，我們為字母“yode”分配了“Y”或“J”來捕捉兩種替代聲音。 對於右邊第二個“乾草”，我們分配了一個“H” 對於右數第三個“Vav”，我們從英文字母表中分配了一個“V”。 對於最後一個“乾草”，我們分配了一個“H” 因此我們得到了 Y H V H 所有輔音，所以這個字沒有聲音。因此，我們添加了元音來給輔音發聲，我們就得到了Yahveh或YahWeh。另一種替代發音是使用“J”而不是 Y，因此我們得到了 J H V H 並添加了元音以使字母發音，從而我們得到了耶和華。 有一個希臘術語用來描述上帝的個人名字，這個術語是“Tetragrammaton”，意思是“四個字母的單字”。因此，上帝的個人名字也被稱為“Tetragrammaton”。 從神的名字中得到的收穫是親自體驗神，並知道祂是聖潔的、令人敬畏的、值得我們尊敬、值得鼓掌、榮耀和深深的讚賞。當我們祈禱「我們的父」「天上的哪一位」「願人都尊你的名為聖」時，我們每時每刻都在徘徊，內化上帝是誰，他的性格和屬性，他創造的浩瀚，並尊重他個人的名字為聖。請注意，在祈禱結束時，我們來到了祂的權柄之下，並感激地接受了祂所授予的權柄。 只有一位神，在過去、現在和未來的永恆裡，除他之外沒有別的神，他的名字是耶和華。這是「Shema Yisrael Adonai elohenu Adonai ehad」的訊息。聽啊，以色列，耶和華是我們的神，耶和華是申命記 6:4-9 中的一位。在當今這個時代，我們必須清楚，不存在複數的神，只有一位神，只有一條通往祂的道路，那就是相信耶穌基督。 以賽亞書 6:3 說卡多什，卡多什，卡多什 Adonai Tsevaot melo khol ha arets kevodo。在英文中，它說聖哉，聖哉，聖哉，萬軍之主，全地的豐盛，祂的榮耀。 神聖的概念包括完全區別於世俗和世俗。阿多奈是獨特的、獨一無二的、無與倫比的、無可匹敵的。神以祂所有的聖潔與祂所選擇的創造物接近人類，我們必須訓練自己不要把祂視為理所當然，並理解祂聖潔的概念。讓我們親近他，因為他願意，充分認識他的聖潔並接受他的聖靈。 神的特徵和屬性 當您祈禱時，請記住我們的父親，天堂的藝術是： 耶和華-麥卡德斯......出埃及記 31:13 定義：“神是使人分別為聖、分別為聖、使人成聖的人” 耶和華羅希…詩篇 23:1 定義：“神是牧人” 耶和華沙瑪......以西結書 48:35 定義：“神在那裡，並且在場” 耶和華拉法......出 15:26 定義：“治癒、縫合傷口、修復、醫治生活各方面的神” 耶和華齊肯努…耶利米書 23:6 定義：“上帝本質上總是做正確的事；我們正義的標準” 耶和華以勒......創 22:13-14 .. 哥林多後書 9:8 定義：“神的供應是顯而易見的，神保證我們凡事充足，可以多做善事” 耶和華尼西......出埃及記 17:15 定義：“神是我們勝利的聲譽，像一面旗幟一樣貼在我們的生活上” 耶和華沙龍........士師記 6:24 定義：“神是和平” 耶和華安息日…以賽亞書 6:1-3 定義：“上帝是無數天使大軍的統帥” 耶和華-格摩拉........耶利米書 51:6 定義：“神只是為了報答人類的行為，報應” EL-ELYON............創 14:17-20,以賽亞書 14:13-14 定義：“神至高” EL-RE-EH 或 EL ROI................創 16:13 定義：「看見的神」永恆的先知！ EL-SHADDAI............創 17:1，詩篇 91:1 定義：“上帝是充足的，一切供應的源頭” 以賽亞書 40:28-31 定義：“神永恆” 冥想這些特徵中的每一個，並感謝他對你、你的家人、親人、城市、州、國家以及世界上所有國家和政府的所有這些。
