His Name is One

Author: Jeff Benner

ISBN 1-58939-457-7 (softcover)

132 pages


When we read an English translation of the Bible we define the words within it according to our modern vocabulary allowing our culture and language to influence how we read and interpret the Bible. The Bible was written by ancient Hebrews whose culture and language was very different from our own and must be read and interpreted through their eyes. When we define the names of God using our culture and language we lose the Hebraic meanings behind the original Hebrew names of God. Consequently the true nature and character of God is hidden behind the veil of time and culture. By understanding the various names of God through the vocabulary and language of the ancient Hebrews, the nature and character of God is revealed to us in a new light. The prophet Zechariah described the character of God with the words "sh'mo ehhad" translated as His Name is One (Zechariah 14:9). This phrase beautifully describes the character of God from a Hebraic perspective that is lost to us through translation and unfamiliarity with ancient Hebrew culture.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jeff Benner has had a long interest in the Hebrew language of the Bible and in 1996 he began researching the ancient pictographic alphabet used by the Hebrew people and other Semitic tribes. He has made many significant discoveries linking the ancient Hebrew culture with the ancient Hebrew language and alphabet. In 1999 Jeff founded the "Ancient Hebrew Research Center" to research and teach Biblical understanding through the alphabet and language to those with little or no Hebrew background. Jeff's current project is the "Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible". This Lexicon defines Hebrew words of the Bible according to their cultural context revealing the original Hebraic meanings of Biblical passages and words.

Understanding the biblical words for God and Jesus

This book has been in lightening in that it brings an understanding of what the Hebrew writers meant in their biblical descriptions of God and Jesus. By explaining the words utilized to describe them in a way that Western Civilized persons will understand and see the difference in the Eastern civilization and their use of language in such a way that Western Civilization can finally truly understand. I thank Mr. Benner for his wonderful book. It has been a great blessing for me!
