Jehovah is our God Too

My Google search noted how “Jehovah” is a Latinization of the Hebrew name for God, YHWH, which is also known as the Tetragrammaton. The four Hebrew letters YHWH, which are often transliterated as “Jehovah,” are the consonants of God’s name.  It’s considered one of God’s personal names in Judaism and is used in some Christian traditions. (AI Overview, 2025)

The name that follows Jehovah is a word that describes an aspect of God’s character and nature. Jehovah Sabaoth, Naheh, and Milchamma are ones I gravitate to. I’m naturally a fighter and outspoken. You will hear my voice or see me in action, standing up for a cause, speaking out against systemic racism or injustice, or vehemently fighting for the cause of the weak or those harmed. This nature of Jehovah, God reminds me to step back and let the Lord fight for me because He has power over all armies/systems, is strong in battle, and can smite any enemy.
