Elisha Vision – Commentary

“If it had not been Yehovah Who was on our side,” ​​Let Israel now say— ​​ “If it had not been Yehovah who was on our side, when men rose up against us, ​​Then they would have swallowed us alive, when their wrath was kindled against us; ​​Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul; ​​Then the swollen waters would have gone over our soul.”

​​Blessed be Yehovah, ​​Who has not given us as prey to their teeth. ​​Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped. ​​Our help is in the name of Yehovah, ​​Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 124

I have been meditating on Daniel and his three fellow captives in Babylon. They would not bow down to man or to pagan gods. But have you ever looked up the meanings of their Hebrew names? We know them as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, but look at the Hebrew name and meaning of each.

1. Daniel = “God is my judge. “
2. Hanniah = “Yehovah has favored.”
3. Mishael = “who is what God is”
4. Azariah = “Yehovah has helped”

No wonder the King changed their names to political titles. Man’s rule always exchanges our God given placement and blessing with man’s false honor and flattery. Seriously? In which list would you like to be mentioned? As for me and my house, we will serve Yehovah!

1. Belteshazzar = “lord of the straitened’s treasure”
2. Shadrach = “royal” or “the great scribe”
3. Meshach = “guest of a king”
4. Abed-nego = “servant of Nebo”

​​Our help is in the name of Yehovah, ​​Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 124

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for rain.
