Philippians 2:9-11

Denise and I will battle the crowds to get into the Vatican an extremely fortified and large-walled city housing the Catholic Pope and incredible works of art. This got me to thinking about Paul’s words in Philippians 2:9-11  where upon reading this verse every Jew would have known instantly what that name was. This name was so sacred it was never pronounced instead it was just referred to as the “NAME” or by the consonants after the vowels were removed YHWH. Just in case his readers weren’t getting his implication, Paul says that “every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord”, which is the translation of Jehovah into English. When someone is a Lord they have the right to everything they survey, they have sovereign authority and are the Master with everyone else at their beckon call. Paul says Jesus who had that position and willingly gave up the right to those rights has won those rights in front of humanity because of His humiliation. This is why we read in Revelation 5:12“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!” How that those that profess to know His name would more excited to proclaim Him Lord then to worship the church they attend!
