YHWH The Creator of the Universe
OUR FATHER
If you are among the children of God, then you will call HIM father not by His name because it is how you would respect Him.
The Creator of the Universe has a personal name. His name written in Hebrew goes back to ancient times. Here (on the top left) is it written in Paleo-Hebrew but in modern Hebrew it is written like this on the bottom left.
You can see the changes the script has had over time, but this is what happens with language.
God’s personal name is often Romanized as YHWH, JHVH. The 4 letters in Hebrew are called the Tetragrammaton.
God’s name was not allowed to be pronounced by the Jews – instead they pronounced the word as Adonai, meaning Lord. But the literal meaning of God’s name is “the existing One” or the self-existent one. This is what God said himself— “I AM”— means to just be.
“And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” Exodus 3:14
God is Himself created all things
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth [a merism meaning the whole Universe]. Genesis 1:1.
“I am YHWH: that is my name:” Isaiah 42:8
