Have you studied the matter of God's name? I think it is fascinating. I have found that there are two basic approaches. The first group goes way overboard and focuses on how you pronounce God's name, believing He will be offended if you do not pronounce it correctly.

The other group does not think it matters at all that God has a name, even though He told them many times in the Old Testament to call upon His name.

I believe that God has a name, Jehovah, or Yahshua, or Yaweh, depending on how you pronounce "J". This is the reconstruction of His name after the Hebrews removed the vowels so that they would not inadvertently use His name in vain. The four consonants you mentioned, YHWH, are called the Tetragrammaton. 

Like all other subjects, this one is controversial and people are divided over it. It seems important that God has a name. If we do not know his name, how are we to call upon Him?

   I call Him Father, specifically the GOD and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ.

There is yet another group that want to be totally immersed in His Name, as the Rev 19:7-9 Wife of the Lamb, who leaves behind every identity that is not in Him, to make Him Her ONLY identity.

That gives an entirely new depth to doing everything, in word or deed, that it ALL be done in Him and in His name, by immersion.

THAT is an identity that will take us into the air to meet Him.

See you in the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.

Shalom,

Excellent point. I would like to be in this group with you brother.

Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

 Paul replied:  Me too.  Rom 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.  However that may be experienced, it is far above any other possibility.
