HalleluYAH (Praise Be To YAH)
This most exalted form of praise has been spoken, written, prayed and sung by Jews and Christians alike for thousands of years. HalleluYAH is simply: Hallelu—"Praise be to," YAH —"YAHveh, the one true living God." Praise be to YAH —HalleluYAH! The proclamation of YAHveh's name elicits from the worshipper the highest form of praise, glory, and honor due to the almighty King. His name speaks of His salvation for Israel and all Gentiles joined with her. His name proclaims His infinite mercy, compassion, goodness, protection, and deliverance for those who love Him and revere His name. Those who wholeheartedly exclaim "HalleluYAH" bring glory to the name of YAHveh and give praise to all that His name embodies. "There is none like Thee, O YAHveh; THOU ART GREAT, AND GREAT IS THY NAME IN MIGHT. Who would not fear Thee, O King of the nations? Indeed it is Thy due! ..." (Jer 10:6-7)
The holy Scripture, YAH's written, eternal Word, concludes the ages with a resounding of heavenly HalleluYAHs :
"I heard, as it were, a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, 'HalleluYAH! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God ...' And a second time they said, 'HalleluYAH!' ...And the twenty four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped YAHVEH who sits on the throne saying, 'Amen, HalleluYAH!' ...And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude and as a sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying, 'HalleluYAH! For YAHVEH our God, the Almighty reigns.'" (Rev 19:1-6)
The ultimate HalleluYAH chorus is going to close this age and welcome all the redeemed of all ages into the eternal kingdom- of Whom? What is His name? Surely you know it is YAHveh! "And He will reign ... forever; and His kingdom will have no end" (Lu 1:33).
PRAISE YAHVEH! [HALLELUYAH!]
Praise, O servants of YAHveh.
PRAISE THE NAME OF YAHVEH.
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF YAHVEH.
From this time forth aand forever.
From the rising of the sun to its setting
THE NAME OF YAHVEH IS TO BE PRAISED.
PRAISE YAHVEH! [HALLELUYAH!]
(Ps 113:1-3, 9)
It is our greatest hope and intention that the Almighty will complete His purpose to have a people who are Holy to Yahveh, a righteous remnant who will pour out their lives for the praise, honor, and glory due His holy memorial-name. May you have eyes to see the splendor of His majesty, a receptive heart to beat with His, and an open mind to grasp His eternal purposes for all mankind - for the Jew and the Gentile alike.
