I don't know if this will make the forum or end up in misc., but here is an interesting teaching and would like some feedback as I am meeting with my pastor next week to discuss the implications for the church.
The name Jehovah comes from God whoose proper name in Hebrew is, YHWY. Since the Hebrews realized that a sin against God and especially his name could result in death, they apparently decided to transcribe His name with the vowel points in addonai (lord).
The result was yahoway. Since the y sounds like j and the w sounds like v, the result is Jehovah. Jehovah is a trascription error:

But when the word is spoken the name in Hebrew sounds like hovah since there is no j in the hebrew language. And here is the definition of hovah:

Do Christians call on the god of desctruction when they sing and praise in the name of Jehovah?

I tried your link and couldn't find anything.
All gods point to Ya, but He most likely wants us to credit the right form of the name to the great I am of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob so that we are in line with the blessing from Yashua (Jesus).
Yaro, I saw one of your other threads and didn't read to the end to see the resolve on your split personality. And your picture does seem to lack some fig leaves to the neck line.

I don't get it?
It looks like you are not wearing any clothes in your picture. It looks like you are naked, but that the crop prevents us from seeing you. Adam and Eve covered themselves from their nakedness...
We can be assured that YHWY will fix any issues regarding His name:
EZEK 36:20-
And wherever they went among the nations they profaned my holy name, for it was said of them, 'These are the LORD 's people, and yet they had to leave his land.' 21 I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone.
22 "Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. 23 I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD , declares the Sovereign LORD , when I show myself holy through you before their eyes.
Note the definition of chalal {khaw-lal'}
"profane" = 1) to profane, defile, pollute, desecrate, begin
seems to line up with calling Him Jehovah the God of destruction. The part I find interesting is that He knew the Israelite scribes would have a problem with translating the Holy name that was supposed to protect those from using His name in Vain.
Only an omniscent being could have seen that one coming! This would also be yet another sign that we are in the end times as a post like this will no doubt change the language of a few believers! And maybe a song or two.

YHWY is the great I am. His name is important to him as my post above. It has been polluted and He will come to fix it. Ezekial 36 is the Chapter before Armageddon. His son is Yoshua (Jesus) the savior of Ya, the short name for YHWY.
The critical point is that if we are in the time when He will reveal His name for His name's sake then we ought to hear these things and fall into obedience. And we should be baptizing in the name of Yoshua as it is written in the Word. Let Addonai by Addonai and fulfill His glory by bringing the chruch together. I just want to confirm that if I am hearing the Holy Spirit to speak the Great One's name that I hop to it.
