"JEHOVAH"

 "Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." (Hebrews 1:4 KJV)

  "Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans? The kings of the earth prepare for battle, the rulers plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one. "Let's us break their chains," they cry, "and free ourselves from slavery of God." But the one who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them. Then in anger he rebukes them, terrifying them with his fierce fury. For the Lord declares, "I have placed my chosen king on the throne in Jerusalem, on my holy mountain." The king proclaims the LORD'S decree: "The LORD said to me, 'You are my son. Today I have become your Father. Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possession. You will break them with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots.'" Now then, you kings, act wisely! Be warned, you rulers of the earth! Serve the LORD with reverent fear, and rejoice with trembling. Submit to God's royal son, or he will become angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of your activities - for his anger flares up in an instant. But what joy for all who take refuge in him!" (PSALM 2 NLT)

 Without getting too carried away, I started working on making a crossword puzzle, within days after I accepted Jesus into my heart. It basically was my way of gathering all on the pieces I could, and making them easier to find and reference all the places in the Bible where Jesus is brought forth, in one way or another. 

 Within this puzzle the name Jesus was displayed with the squares, going down the middle, and across the middle; all the Old Testament questions and clues went across; while all the New Testament questions and clues where up and down. It seriously took about two weeks to make it all work out. 

 Now, about this PSALM that I have typed in above: We can talk about these kings of the earth being the rulers of nations; or we can put them in a different order, which would be a different realm, one of the unseen world; one that is ruled by principalities and powers. Regardless, these principalities and powers are also manipulating and plotting within the world that is seen, causing the world to be against, the ONE TRUE KING!  

 As to the name JEHOVAH, the J.W.'s use this name as if this has made them special because the Bible translation that they use takes all the LORD references and changes them to JEHOVAH. If you really want to get specific: JESUS CHRIST is JEHOVAH, the eternal One! But, without getting too far ahead of myself, there are several different descriptions for JEHOVAH, depending on the need and action performed. 

 Having said that, the simple description is: God is Salvation, to which is his name...

"As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. "Joseph, son of David," the angel said, "do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. And she will have a son and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."" (Matthew 1:20-26 NLT)
