The Name of GOD
GOD has several Hebrew names; Elohim (Authority God), Adonai (Master), El Shaddai (Almighty God)... The Bible records more than a dozen of GOD's Name .
All these names of GOD are His titles except for the name, Yahweh. Yahweh(proper noun) is HIS personal name. "God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM. ...The LORD (YAHWEH), the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.'" Exodus 3:14
Yahweh is called Tetragrammaton or 4-letter word in original Hebrew text referring to GOD. It spells יYud, הHei, וּVav and הHei.

Yahweh is the most sacred, highly regarded name of God for the Hebrews. For the Orthodox Jew, the יהוּה Tetragrammaton
is never spoken, only written. Only the High Priest can speak this name
with fear and reverence and only on a very special day of the year, the
Yom Kippur. Since 70AD, after the 2nd Jewish temple was destroyed by
the Roman soldiers, the ceremonial rituals
of this celebration ceased to be performed. After almost 2,000 years of
silence, scholars can only speculate wether there is someone who could
actually pronounce the original Tetragrammaton perfectly since it is all
consonants and no vowel.
Today in synagogues during Scripture readings, "Adonai" (Master) is spoken in place of "YHVH." In a regular conversation or in written documents the Orthodox Jews substitute "HaShem" (The Name) to provide further protection of the Name YHWH.
The English name Jehovah was coined by Roman Catholics during the Middle Ages resulting from a misunderstood Masoretic Hebrew texts. The consonants Y-H-V-H (the "Y" used to be pronounced as "J") and the vowels from the word "Adonai" combined to form the word Jehova.
It is interesting to note that the first time the Tetragrammaton appeared in the scripture was after He created man in Genesis 2:7. Yahweh is the covenant-keeping GOD. The GOD who have a relationship with man. Before GOD created man, GOD was called Elohim.

These four Hebrew letters are the 4 letters of the Tetragrammaton; Yod Hei Vav Hei. יYod, as mentioned earlier, means hand. הHei means grace. וּVav is pictured as nail. To read the whole Hebrew Pictograph of the Tetragrammaton it says
The hand of grace nailed in grace!

“They will look on me, Aleph Tav the one they have pierced..." Zechariah 12:10(NIV)
The end is declared from the beginning BUT in RIDDLES.
The Word
Riddle solved! “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" John 1:1 (NIV)
Aleph Tav
is the WORD revealed to John.
Aleph Tav

| The mysterious Word in the Middle of the Genesis 1:1 Creation Account |
Jesus Christ is Aleph Tav! He is present when everything was created. He was at the center of the happening.
Four times Jesus said in Revelation: "I am Alpha and Omega..."
Revelation 1:8; Revelation 1:11; Revelation 21:6; Revelation 22:13
John, who saw the vision he wrote in the book of Revelation, was
Hebrew-speaking. When Jesus said Alpha and Omega, He said it in the
language John can understand, in Hebrew. Alpha and Omega is the first
and last letter of the Roman Alphabet, translated to Hebrew is Aleph
Tav; the first and the last letter of the Hebrew Alephbet. Jesus Christ
is incscribed in the Bible, from the first (Genesis) to the last
(Revelation) book.
Aleph Tav is the same Alpha and Omega
revealed to John in Revelation.
.
"I
am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which
is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:8 KJV
This mystery was finally revealed by Jesus Christ Himself to John in a vision!
Jesus Christ is the The sacrificial Ox. The Lamb
of God who died for the sins of the world. (John 1:29) . The cross
means covenant and completion/finished, being the last of the Hebrew
Alephbet. When Jesus hung on the the cross, He shouted "It is finished!"
He was the sacrificial lamb slain from the creation. "... the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world. Revelation 13:8 (NIV)
JESUS
is the WORD, the answer to the riddle, the answer to all the puzzles of
the heart and mind. His person, His being in man, completes.
“No,
we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that
God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of
this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified
the Lord of glory. 9 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear
has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who
love him" -- 10 but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit
searches all things, even the deep things of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:7-10
"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings." Proverbs 25:2
