PRAYING THROUGH THE MONTH OF OCTOBER 2016
The word October was derived from the Latin “Octo” meaning eight (8). October retained its name from the Latin origin when July and August, named after Julius and Augustus Caesar respectively, were inserted into the calendar that had originally been created by the Romans. It is now considered the tenth (10th) month in the now widely used Gregorian calendar. Consequently, it is the gateway into THE LAST QUARTER OF THE Gregorian calendar.
October 3, 2016 is the 1st of Tishrei, 5777. This is the seventh (7th) month of the Biblical Sacred calendar and the first (1st) month according to the Biblical civil calendar. (1 Kings 6:38; 1 Kings 12:32, 33).
The prophets promised that there would be a shaking of the earth in the last days, and that during the time of trouble the Name of the true GOD would become known throughout all the earth! There is power in the “Name above all names,” for according to the prophet Joel, “Whosoever calls on the Name of the LORD shall be saved!”
What is the Name of our God?
According to Wikipedia “Jehovah is the Latinization of the Hebrew הָוֹ הְ י, one vocalization of the Tetragrammaton הוהי (YHWH), the proper name of the God of Israel in the Hebrew Bible.
The consensus among scholars is that the historical vocalization of the Tetragrammaton at the time of the redaction of the Torah (6th century BCE) is most likely Yahweh. The historical vocalization was lost because in Second Temple Judaism, during the 3rd to 2nd centuries BCE, the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton came to be avoided, being substituted with Adonai (“my Jehovah”). The Hebrew vowel points of Adonai were added to the Tetragrammaton by the Masoretes, and the resulting form was transliterated around the 12th century as Yehowah. The derived forms Iehouah and Jehovah first appeared in the 16th century.
