••• You should recognize and know "and use" God's Hebrew Name! It is יהוה and sounds like
to English speakers... God Himself wrote with his own finger on stone tablets He then gave to Moses. (Exo 31:18) Using the Diving Name of our Creator is a uniting force in this divided world! •••

Hearing people quote the King James Translation of Psalm 118, verse 24, all my life, I always thought that verse applied to just any and every day: That we should find joy and appreciation for any day of life we are favored to have. That is true, of course. Reading the verse here in context, however, these verses have special application to one very specific day: To Armageddon, and to the day God stands up to destroy all His enemies forever. (Zep 2:2-3 of 1-7) Rejoice in that day above all others, it is the day of our deliverance. (Joel 2:11 & 3:16) It is the day our faith has placed us in God's Temple for all eternity. (Rev 21:1-4)
