The divine name of God, as used in the English language. From the ancient Hebrew, which had no vowels, YHVH or JHVH. Other languages use similar spellings.
The name Jehovah is so fearsome to some people that they went to the trouble to remove it from His own book. They alternate between the excuses, that we don't know the original pronunciation of God's name, and that God's name is Jesus, when in fact, Jesus isn't the original pronunciation of Yeshua's name and that doesn't seem to bother them.
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom", (Ps. 111:10), so fearing His name is fine. However, how is one to gain further wisdom when one fears fear itself more than one fears Jehovah?

Get the Jehovah mug.Manliest character ever made by Square Enix, he is considered the reincarnation of Chuck Norris and a child-beating father of Final Fantasy. Armed with his Jeeecchhtoooo Fingaaaaaaa that's deadlier than the Falcon Punch, and his variety of self-honed battle skills from repeatedly beating his child, Tidus, he is considered top-tier in Square Enix's new release, Final Fantasy: Dissidia.
Ex. 1: The reason why most of the Final Fantasy cast in Dissidia are all bishies is because Jecht took all of the manliness from them. Especially Kuja.
Ex. 2: Sephiroth attempted to summon Jecht, but only got Meteor.
Ex. 3: Jecht made Cid drink his tea.
Ex. 4: Jecht has been described as rocking a "Surf Bum" look. If by surf you mean "Oh dear lord what are you doing to my legs" and by bum you mean "I am not worthy of Jecht's manliness", then yes, he is.

Get the Jewhole mug.Juchoes has become somewhat of an intercollegiate celebrity, taking the west side of Michgian and abroad by storm. But many people are confused, who, or what, is Juchoes?
Scholars maintain that the meaning was lost during the Spanish Inquistition, when the "keepers of the lost scrolls" were brutally murdered. These men were the keepers of the meaning of Juchoes. were found handcuffed to goats in a Northern region of Syria, castrated and stabbed to death. Some persist that this was a political move by roving militias from southern Tajikstan.
This left the true meaning of "Juchoes" to be interperted by any and all. The most globally accepted explaination is a combination of the name "Juan" (pronounced "Jew-on") and Chode (a slang term for a penis which is wider than it is long). But what does this all mean? Who is this Juan? And why is his supposed chode so infamous?
This is something we may never know.

Get the Juchoes mug.Jehovah
Jehovah is the English pronunciation of the divine name. In in the Hebrew scriptures the divine name was written YHWH or JHWH (Tetragrammaton) because there are no vowels in Hebrew. No one knows how to pronounce this name because the Jews became superstitious about saying the name out loud before the time of Christ and the actual pronunciation was lost. Scholars believe it to have sounded like Yehowah or Yahweh. Saying Jehovah in English is like saying Miguel for Michael in Spanish, or like Yeshua in Hebrew is pronounced Jesus in English.
Jehovah means "to become," and it was a popular Hebrew name before God chose it. So when God chose this name for himself he was indicating that he would "become" whatever was needed to fulfill his purposes. The translation "I AM" as seen in Exodus 3 is commonly mistranslated and should more likely read "I will become," as is explained in the passages following.
The original scrolls of the Christian Greek scriptures didn't last long and when Catholicism came about in the 4th century YHWH began being replaced with LORD and GOD due to the man made doctrine of the holy trinity. (If Jesus were actually God, then it didn't make sense to keep calling Him Jehovah, even though that name appeared almost 7,000 times in the Hebrew scriptures.) But there really is no question that Jesus and his disciples used the divine name, especially when quoting and reading from the Hebrew scriptures where the name appeared. (See Luke 4:16-21 and compare Isaiah 61:1-2 in American Standard Version.)
Jesus said that he made God's name known to his disciples John 17:6, 26. And the book of Ezekiel repeatedly says in the end times "they will know that I am Jehovah." (Given that the bible you're reading honors the divine name and has not substituted it with LORD.)
