Download The Study Guide (Members)
Our series continues with a study of the misunderstood phrase “take God’s name in vain.” In addition to a careful analysis of the Hebrew text behind this phrase, Keith also offers a free download of a section from his book His Hallowed Name Revealed Again that goes deeper into this subject to uncover the treasure of biblical information, inspiration, and revelation that comes from this third matter that still matters to God.

Another interpretation, if we call ourselves followers of Yeshua and worship YeHoVaH hence to carry His Name as a banner, but do NOT live our lives as HE commanded (observe Torah, Shabbat, Feasts, Love our neighbor); then we are using His Name in vain, showing it to be nothing! We must walk the walk, not just talk the talk. Shalom

Discovered this series thanks to Nehemia’s and Keith’s Prophet pearls on Nehemia’s Wall. Not only is this an interesting approach to scripture using the original Hebrew words and dissecting them using grammar, but Keith is doing this in a way that is entertaining, attention grabbing, and straight-up fun. Even from someone coming from a traditional Jewish background, I find these teachings full of new information. I will definitely keep bfainternational in my top go-to resources for scripture study and I look forward to watching the other series on this website. Keep it up Keith! Keep reading 🙂

Do you have any comments on the alef-tav that appears 3x in this verse? It appears twice attached to the word name/shem with a maqquev (hyphen) in the Schottenstein Interlinear version and once as a stand alone word. I have felt that the alef-tav refers to the Messiah (He is the alef-tav, not the alpha and omega). If so, to me this is also saying that not only shall we not take YHVH’s Name in vain, but neither should we take the Messiah’s name (YHVShAy) in vain. (Which is probably why satan had the name of the Messiah changed. Otherwise he would be bringing curses down on his agents.)
