In Jerusalem Will I Put My Name

 

1 Kings 11:36 And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.

1 Kings 14:21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

2 Kings 21:4 And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

2 Kings 21:7 And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

Exodus 3:13-15

13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 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.
15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

I AM = ehyeh (alef, hei, yud, hei)

Ezekiel 23:1-4

1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
3 And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.
4 And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.

Comments? Discussion?

[Thinkin' Gal]

Have you come across this in your studies? Comments, observations? There's YHVH in Yehuda, but this is a new one for me.

[Thinkin' Gal]

??? I don't know where this one is headed. I saw it so I posted it, FWIW.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Drop in for a visit.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Word study FYI

[BibChr]

Well, since you asked....

I try to draw my hermeneutics as directly from Scripture itself as I can. While this is inventive, I don't know of one example in either Testament even approaching something as Kabbalistic as that.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Inventive? Kabbalistic?

Come on, I invented nothing and interpreted nothing. I only posted raw data. There it is, "I AM", written within the name of Jerusalem, Aholibah. Just as YHVH is within the name Yehuda.


Perhaps it is of no value to you. I found it most intriguing, in light of the the textual references.

[Dataman]

I think I'll abstain. Dan's the Hebrew expert.

[Markofhumanfeet]

lev, of course for the levite priests who were the heart and soul of the Nation. It's been a while since I did in depth study of the Hebrew, but you are right in seking the deeper meanings. I hope you let none dissuade you. All peace, Mark

[Thinkin' Gal]

The Hebrew is posted, along with the English, so one can see exactly what I am referring to. Easy enough to compare with a Tanakh, concordance, dictionary, or other reference such as the Blue Letter Bible, wherein the Hebrew is printed or displayed.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Thanks. It doesn't look like this will be of interest to most. I figured it's been done before, so I tried to Google it with all sorts of keyword combos. No luck. I guess it slipped through the cracks... until now! :-)

SHALOM & BLESSINGS…

Concerning: EZEKIEL 23:1-4 this chapter is leading to the eventual Exile of the Jewish people from ISRAEL to Babylon and their 80 year Captivity.

Ohalah – Hebrew meaning: “her tent”; and Oholibah – Hebrew meaning: “My tent is in her”.

The word: “Prostitution” used in the context of these specific verses represents Political Alliances with Pagan powers Not Idolatry as found in Ezekiel chapter 16.

We find that in Ezekiel chapter 16, The LORD is speaking of a Spiritual turning away from Him and Physical involvement with the fertility rites of Canaanite Paganism, referring to Jerusalem’s continual hereditary tendency – bendt toward Evil.

The word “Daughter(s)” used in the context of verse 46 of chapter 16 is referring to areas of land as in Suburbs or Satellite Cities in Israel.

This is a direct correlation to the people’s willingness to “prostitute” themselves by willful Disobedience to GOD and their Sins of: Idolatry, Perversion and Pride; all of which are a far greater offense than that of Adultery and ordinary prostitution.

READ: Jeremiah chapter 3 (Unfaithful Israel), Hosea chapter 4 (Charge Against Israel) and 2Kings chapter 23 (Molech worship) and 2Kings chapter 25 (The Fall of Jerusalem).

[Thinkin' Gal]

Ohalah – Hebrew meaning: “her tent”; and Oholibah – Hebrew meaning: “My tent is in her”.

Re: the meaning of the names

It becomes evident that Jerusalem was chosen, whereas Samaria was not. His name is NOT is Aholah.

Aholah = "her own tent"
Aholibah = "woman of the tent" or "the tent is in her"

Tent, as in the Temple.

contains "I AM" the eternally existing name which means just that, whereas does not. One could say, that to go from Jerusalem (Aholibah) to Samaria (Aholah), two things must be removed: the hand [yud, ] of God, and the house [bet, ] of God. Some may choose to mock the kabbalistic nature of that statement, but that spiritual concept is already spelled out in the plain text of Scripture. Over and over and over again. The letter structure merely provides an additional witness to the same message.

[man of Yosemite]

This is curious, but I'm not sure you can extend this to the extent you do. You could do the same thing with our language, find a name hidden within another name, but you would never draw the conclusion that something other than the first context seen was the one meant. The mere fact that letters appearing in one name also appear in another does not give us license to build a whole premise based on something hidden. I don't think God tries to hide meaning in his words unless you take the view that he hopes to entertain clever people. I think he is more forthright than that, wanting his words to be understood.

[Thinkin' Gal]

The mere fact that letters appearing in one name also appear in another does not give us license to build a whole premise based on something hidden.

The difference here is, there is no premise *built* upon the letters, so no license is taken, and therefore nothing mysterious is revealed at all. The letters are but a reflection of what is already stated in the plain text throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. I am merely pointing out that the same message/theme is *also* revealed in the place names. Multiple witnesses within the Word.

[CJ Wolf]

I'll admit it I'm a bit lost on this one.

[Jeremiah Jr]

Whose Land is Israel?

[Markofhumanfeet]

yes, there are layers of understanding and scholars are encouraged to search the scriptures for this hidden wisdom. Good job, TG!

Bible codes?
