4.2 Jehovah and God: Analysis
The root of the Divine Name originates in the Hebrew root H.I.H. This is the
origin for various Hebrew words meaning “to be” in various linguistic forms.
The Divine Name is therefore based on the most fundamental concept: being.
However, the various time tenses of this root, when the latter appears as a verb,
12a
13
are hayah or havah 12b (he was), oveh (“he is,” meaning also the present), and
14
yehiyeh (he will be).
Combining parts of these words together, one obtains the Divine Name going
from the future tense, to the present tense to the past tense:
Yehovah:

yeh (Future) + ov (Present) + ah (Past)

Once one has become familiar with the source of the word and what it conveys
to the “naked eye”—namely, a combination of “being” with “time”—a deeper
probe may reveal some bizarre structures internal to this name.
First, let us detail the numerical values of the letters comprising the Divine
Name Jehovah :

26 = (5 = ה) + (6 = ו) + (5 = ה) + (10 = י)

(yod = 10) + (hei = 5) + (vav = 6) + (hei = 5) = 26

Repeating the same for the numerical values representing ordinal positions of
the English letters comprising “God,” it is extraordinary that the same result is
obtained:

“God” = (G = 7) + (O = 15) + (D = 4) = 26

Next we examine the composition of the name of the first letter in the Divine

Name, the yod . This composition is indeed extraordinary. If one was required to
convey in the name of the first letter that appears in the name of the Divine the

concept of creation as depicted by the big bang —namely, as that of an expanding
