The Name Of The Lord

[Aloysius]

this is a really cool thing i just learnt about...

it was discovered by Christians in the fourteenth century who were studying the Cabala. anyway, the hebrew word for the descending glory of God is "Shekhinah", starting with the letter Shin.

this is what the pillar of fire is called in the old testament and it's also the Spirit at Christ's baptism and the tongues of fire at pentecost, so the "Shin" became the symbol of the Holy Spirit to early Christians.

anyway, the four letters to rep the name of God are YHWH, "Yod" "He" "Vau" "He"

When the Jews were exiled from the Holy Land, they lamented saying that the Yod He and the Vau He had been seperated

and that they would only be reunited when the Messiah came in Glory.

now, back to the Shin, the symbol of the Holy Spirit. Christians studying all this discovered, that when you put the Shin in between the Yod He and the Vau He it becomes Yod He Shin Vau He,

which is the Hebrew for Jehoshua, Jesus.

just more proof of the Trinity and the divinity of Christ.thoasands and tens of thousands of European Jews, when seeing the fragments of YHWH united in Christ, they converted.

i learnt this in a book called the "Rosary Meditations, Mysteries, and the Telling of the beads" by Kevin Orlan Johson, PhD. it has a nihil obstat and an imprimature, making it even cooler.

anyway, that's a lil apologetics to our elder brethren in the Faith. yay.

This is cool, but don't put too much stock in it, because people can make George Bush's name and the Pope's title equal 666. It is hard to tell whether it is just coincidence; but if it converted thousands of jews, then it must be a legitamate thing, because the 666 thing isn't working too well.
