AI Overview In rabbinic thought, "calling on the name of the Lord" (Hebrew: qara besem YHWH) signifies a public proclamation of faith and a turning to God in prayer and devotion, often accompanied by an expression of humility and awe. This phrase, found in the Hebrew Bible, is interpreted as a way to express faith, seek guidance, and connect with the divine. Here's a more detailed breakdown: 1. Public Proclamation and Testimony: Rabbinic interpretations emphasize that "calling on the name of the Lord" is not just a private act of prayer, but also a public affirmation of faith and a testimony to God's power and presence. 2. Seeking Guidance and Divine Intervention: It's understood that "calling on the name of the Lord" is a way to seek God's guidance, protection, and intervention in times of need. 3. Humility and Awe: Rabbinic scholars connect this phrase with the concept of humility, recognizing that humans are finite and God is infinite. It also reflects a sense of awe and wonder in the face of creation and God's majesty. 4. Connecting with the Divine: Ultimately, "calling on the name of the Lord" is a way to connect with the divine, to establish a relationship with God, and to express one's reliance on Him.

Exodus Thirty-Three: 17 So the Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.” 18 And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.” 19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” Calling to Remembrance The goodness found in the Name of the Lord In the Psalms Twenty-Five: 6 Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your loving kindnesses, For they are from of old. 7 Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord. [Note: Stating in anger or frustration "Oh, for goodness sake!", is an inappropriate manner of invoking the Name of the Lord. In vain?, Oh, for Christ's sake! even worse.] Twenty-Seven: 13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Thirty-One: 19 Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! Thirty-Three: 5 He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

David calls on the Name of the Lord 14 O God, the proud have risen against me, And a mob of violent men have sought my life, And have not set You before them. 15 But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth. 16 Oh, turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give Your strength to Your servant, And save the son of Your maidservant.

Calling On His Name: Merciful From the Psalms Twenty-Six: 11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me. Forty-One: 4 I said, “Lord, be merciful to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.” Fifty-Six: 1 Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up; Fighting all day he oppresses me. Eighty-Six: 3 Be merciful to me, O Lord, For I cry to You all day long.

Nehemiah's Prayer of Remembrance Thirteen: 14 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its services! 22 Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of Your mercy! 29 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and the Levites. 30 Thus I cleansed them of everything pagan. I also assigned duties to the priests and the Levites, each to his service, 31 and to bringing the wood offering and the firstfruits at appointed times. Remember me, O my God, for good!

The function of an intercessor is to "remind" the Lord of His promises to His Chosen Examples In the Psalms Twenty-Five: 6 Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old. 7 Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord. Seventy-Four: 1 O God, why have You cast us off forever? Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture? 2 Remember Your congregation, which You have purchased of old, The tribe of Your inheritance, which You have redeemed— This Mount Zion where You have dwelt. Eighty-Nine: 47 Remember how short my time is; For what futility have You created all the children of men? 48 What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the power of the grave? Selah 49 Lord, where are Your former loving kindnesses, Which You swore to David in Your truth? 50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of Your servants— How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples, Examples of Personal Devotions In The Psalms Twenty: 7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God. Forty-Two: 4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast. 5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance. 6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me; Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan, And from the heights of Hermon, From the Hill Mizar. Sixty-Six: 6 When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches. 7 Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. To Be Continued...

Hebrews Ten: 1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. Beyond the act of sinning, the sinner must live with the repercussions in their conscience manifesting as guilt and shame. First John Three: 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. For sin to be fully "taken away" the remembrance of sin must be removed. This is why we cannot comprehend the sufferings of Christ. It was not merely physical pain He endured, it was the Psychological weight borne, which is the "Chastisement of our Peace". Isaiah Fifty-three: 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

John Fourteen: 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. We may end our prayer with "in the name of your Son (Yeshua), but this does not meet the standard set by "the Name of the Lord" Exodus Thirty-four: 5 Now the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation. 8 So Moses made haste and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped. To pray effectively, our heart's intent must abound in goodness and truth, seeking mercy, and invoking His long-suffering nature Psalm Eighty-six: 14 O God, the proud have risen against me, And a mob of violent men have sought my life, And have not set You before them. 15 But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth. [This is calling on His Name] 16 Oh, turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give Your strength to Your servant, And save the son of Your maidservant. 17 Show me a sign for good, That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed, Because You, Lord, have helped me and comforted me. Many pray ineffectively, not being liberated from self interest, and the influence of the "spirit of the world". James Four: 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. 4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. For the Saints to be the Righteousness of God in Christ, they must pray the prayers of the righteous, "abounding in goodness and truth". James Five: 13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

Matthew Twenty-Five: 34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

Psalm 30:4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. King David wrote Psalm 30 at the dedication of his house, which is mentioned in 2 Samuel 5. He had already reigned in Hebron for over seven years before the elders of Israel came to him. 2 Samuel 5:3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king of Israel. However, it was not until he captured Mount Zion from the Jebusites that he chose the stronghold of Zion for his house, and this stronghold came to be known as the city of David, confirming His kingdom 2 Samuel 5:12 Then Hiram, king of Tyre sent craftsmen and materials to build David a house. And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake. Psalm 97:12 Rejoice in the LORD you righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. We enjoy a direct experience of the holiness of the Lord by His everlasting remembrance of us, described in this Psalm. Psalm 97:10 & 11 You that love the LORD, hate evil: He preserves the souls of his saints; he delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Remembrance of an Everlasting Covenant Psalm 112:6 Surely you shall not be moved forever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. We remain in everlasting remembrance based on the relationship established by the everlasting covenants that exist between God and His creation. After the flood, righteous Noah and his family stood as witnesses to the first blood covenant recorded in Genesis 9. We begin to understand the need for Christ to shed His blood for our sanctification and redemption beginning with the terms of this covenant. After man had corrupted his ways upon the earth, this brought on God’s first judgment by water. On the first day of his six hundred and first year Noah exited the ark along with all the animals that were delivered from destruction. Gen 8:13. God then blessed Noah and his sons giving them commandment to replenish the earth. Gen 9:1. It was at this time that man was granted permission to eat the flesh of animals with one critical restriction. Genesis 9:4 But you shall not eat the flesh with the blood. The apostles at Jerusalem confirmed the gentile churches and aligned with Paul in not requiring circumcision and the keeping of the Levitical laws. They did demand four ordinances be kept by all believers: Acts 15:20 that they abstain from the pollution of idols and fornication and things strangled and from blood. This everlasting covenant is a blood covenant. The basis for understanding this is Genesis 9. Genesis 9:5 & 6 And surely your blood of your lives will I require at the hand of every beast will I require and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother I will require the life of man. Whoever sheds man’s blood shall his blood be shed for man was made in the image of God. God then gave the rainbow to be the token of an everlasting covenant with not only man, but all of the earth. Genesis 9:13 I set my bow in the cloud and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth. Genesis 9:16 And the bow shall be in the cloud and I will look upon it that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. It is time for the church to fully grasp the nature of this perpetual agreement in order to have a right understanding of the covenants that form the basis for their relationship with God. Consider the serious nature of God’s covenant with the earth from Isaiah’s horrible vision of judgment. Isaiah 24:3-6 The land shall be utterly empty and utterly spoiled for the Lord has spoken this word. The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away, and arrogant people of the earth do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore the curse has devoured the earth and they that dwell therein are desolate; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned and few men are left. And how has the earth been defiled? By pollution? By waste? By radiation? Think again. By the spiritual principles of the Bible the earth is defiled by fornication, sacrifices to idols and false gods, and the shedding of innocent blood. Man can clean up a toxic waste site, but only by blood can a land be cleansed of blood. This is the terms of the everlasting covenant; that God would require blood for blood. Only by the shed blood of the Messiah can man be redeemed from the curses of a covenant violation. The judgment is foreshadowed in the way God dealt with Judah in the time of Jeremiah. This same standard of judgment awaits a church that turns from the everlasting covenants. 1 Peter 4:17 for judgment must begin with the house of God. Jeremiah 7:4 Trust not in lying words saying: the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord… Simply being a church member is no more insurance than having the Temple of the One True God in your capital city. Jeremiah 7:8-16 Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, and swear falsely, and follow other gods; and come stand before me in this house which is called by my name... which has become a den of robbers...therefore pray not for this people. There comes a time when true intercessors can no longer pray for the church in general because the curse of another gospel is being taught within her buildings. Revelation 11:18 And nations are angry and your wrath has come and the time of the dead; that they should be judged and that you should give reward unto your servants the prophets and the saints and them that fear your name small and great; and that you should destroy them which corrupt and destroy the earth.

Luke 22:19 He took bread and gave thanks and broke it, and gave unto them saying: this is my body which is given for you; this do, in remembrance of me. The practice of breaking bread in fellowship became the foundation of Christian fellowship in the book of Acts. Later, Paul wrote: 1 Corinthians 11:23, 24 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the night in which He was betrayed took bread;and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” This is a true definition of Christian leadership by the Holy Spirit; to receive from the Lord and deliver unto the congregation. Paul was not a participant at the last supper and had not been welcomed into the fellowship of the church in Jerusalem early on due to his fearful reputation. Yet the new communities were established in the breaking of bread in fellowship. The breaking of bread is not given to practice as a memorial before God, but a remembrance in the Lord’s sight. Jesus said: Matthew 18:20. “when two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” The Presence In the Breaking of Bread This gathering together is initiated by the proper breaking of bread. Continuing, Paul warns: 1 Corinthians 11:29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. To allow breaking bread to become an empty ritual, or to completely neglect the act as obsolete is to deny the very presence of the Lord into your fellowship. Paul concludes: 1 Corinthians 11:30 for this cause many have become infirm and many have died. From Luke 24 we know that the presence of the Lord in fellowship is essential to a right understanding of His word. After his resurrection, Jesus meets with two disciples on the road to Emmaus, and has a conversation which is given to us as a memorial. Luke 24:30, 31. Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight. Once their eyes were opened, they testified: Luke 24:32-35 And they said to one another, Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us? So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those with them gathered together, saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon. And they talked about the things on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread. This is the Lord’s remembrance. This is to know Him. Now is the time for believers to enter into the ministry of the burning heart. To break the bread of sincerity and truth. To call on the name of the Lord in remembrance of His mercy. 2 Peter 3:1 I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance. John 6:33 For the bread of God is he which comes down from heaven, and gives life unto the world.

Revelation Twenty: 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. First Corinthians Fifteen: Amplified 20 But now [as things really are] Christ has in fact been raised from the dead, [and He became] the first fruits [that is, the first to be resurrected with an incorruptible, immortal body, foreshadowing the resurrection] of those who have fallen asleep [in death].

During the Millennium, the Gentiles will facilitate the return of every child of Israel. Isaiah Forty-Nine: 18 Lift up your eyes, look around and see; All these gather together and come to you. As I live,” says the Lord, You shall surely clothe yourselves with them all as an ornament, And bind them on you as a bride does. 19 For your waste and desolate places, And the land of your destruction, Will even now be too small for the inhabitants; And those who swallowed you up will be far away. 20 The children you will have, After you have lost the others, Will say again in your ears, ‘The place is too small for me; Give me a place where I may dwell.’ 21 Then you will say in your heart, ‘Who has begotten these for me, Since I have lost my children and am desolate, A captive, and wandering to and fro? And who has brought these up? There I was, left alone; But these, where were they?’ ” 22 Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations, And set up My standard for the people; They shall bring your sons in their arms, And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders; 23 Kings shall be your foster fathers, And their queens your nursing mothers; They shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, And lick up the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord, For they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me.”\ 24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, Or the captives of the righteous be delivered? 25 But thus says the Lord: Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, And the prey of the terrible be delivered; For I will contend with him who contends with you, And I will save your children.

Okay, you aren't going to like the answer, but I asked. "Why do so many Christians across all denominations believe that the glorified Son of Man/God is going to come spend 1000 years on earth with us to sit on an earthly throne? Because no one wants to believe that the world will be ruled by a man, much less a Jew supported by the blessed of the First Resurrection. How about a half Persian, half Jew from his mother's side? The Lord remains at the right hand of power, where he has consecrated Himself as man's intercessor, until ALL his enemies are defeated, including sin and death in the lake of fire. When the Holy and Righteous Son of God returns in Glory... Second Peter Three: 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness?
