It is referring to the the temple in Jerusalem,which served as a place of worship to Jehovah God.However, the people had defiled this place of pure worship by introducing pagan idol worship.\nThe name Jehovah is the name of the Creator,Our Heavenly Father.Unfortunately the Divine Name has been omitted from most Bible translations today and the Churches of Christendom do not make God's name known,they substitute it with titles such as "Lord" or "God".

ADDED: Oh you are talking about the Name of Gd? There are quite a few names for Gd in the TaNaCH, there is the unpronounceable y-h-v-h, there is the pronounced 'adonai' which means 'my master' or my lord, as in lords and ladies of England, there are the derivitives of El, (meaning 'power' because Gd is the Ultimate Power) like Elohim, El, Eloah, and the constructs like El Elyon, El shaddai. Shaddai, and El Shaddai are derived from the idea that other religions have to have more than one as their godhead, or as godS, but our Gd is El SHaddai, meaning 'Gd Who Is Enough.'\n\nPlease see http://www.jewfaq.org/name.htm for the best, and most accurate, explanation there is on this topic!\n----\nBy 'the Jewish word' do you mean Hebrew or do you mean Yiddish, or do you mean Ladino, or do you mean any of the other languages created by the Jewish People?? As the Jews were kicked out of one Christian country to another, the first thing they did was to learn the local language. However, they wrote it in the language they knew, which was with Hebrew letters. Yiddish is a dialect of German, Ladino is a dialect of Spanish, and on and on. So, i am not sure which language you are referring to by "Jewish" word??\n\nIf you mean Hebrew, it is go-el. i do not know Yiddish or Ladino, so if it is in one of these two languages, i am sorry i cant help.

I'm sorry to have to take issue with the rabbi, but "John" is derived from Yôḥānān, short for יהוחנן Yəhôḥānān, meaning "Yahweh has been gracious [or 'has shown favor']." (The German name Johann is a bit closer to the original.)   It is NOT the same name as "Jonathan" (except for those who in more recent times have created the name "Jon" AS a nickname for Jonathan).  \n\nNote that "Jo" is not "God" (for which the Hebrew uses El or the "plural of majesty", "Elohim").  It is from "Ja/Yah/Yahu", the short form of the personal name of God in Hebrew (widely thought to be "Yahweh", traditionally considered very sacred and so replaced by "the LORD" [Hebrew, "Adonai"] to avoid speaking it).\n\nA related Hebrew name in that of the prophet Samuel's mother - "Hannah" [ḥānā], "gracious"(see 1 Samuel 1-2).  The name John also points to one of the most important proclamations of the Old Testament, that the LORD (Yahweh) is a "gracious" God who has shown his people grace/favor (see especially Exodus 34:6, whose expressions are echoed in many other places).  \n\nIncidentally, Hebrew names like Jonathan ["Yahweh has given"] and John ["Yahweh has been gracious"], and many others are "sentence names".  They make some confessional statement about God, and/or may be related to the circumstances of the child's birth.  These two names, for instance, would be very appropriate for a LONG-awaited child.  It is, in fact, precisely the circumstance of the birth of John the Baptist to the elderly Zechariah and Elizabeth [Luke 1]\n\n------------------\n\n"William" (as already noted) is originally a Germanic name, meaning something like "valiant protector".  Its popularity in English owed much to "William the Conqueror" (1066).  Actually, the Conqueror's name (and so our "William") does NOT come directly from the Germanic form of the name (which would be "Wilhelm")but from the Norman French form (from Old French) Guillaume.   Also, the "helm" part is related to the word "helmet" and might more literally refer to that object used for protection rather than just the abstract idea of protection.   At any rate, it is a name given to a warrior-leader who is regarded as the helmet/protection of a group of people.\n\nThe addition of an -s to form a surname is a common practice in English to indicate a "DESCENDANT of William" (In other words, adding an 's' to form a surname is essentially the same as adding "son" as in "Williamson", etc.)

Probably because you call him G-D, call him by his name "Yah" short for Yahweh and he will answer. Calling him G-D could mean any God. He answers to his name, That why he tells it to us over 6,000 times. "whatever you ask in his name he will do"

Chandler:  From an occupational surname which meant "candle seller" in Middle English, ultimately from Old French\n\nJacob:  In the Old Testament, Jacob was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel, and his name meaning "holder of the heel" or "supplanter". Other theories claim that it is derived from a hypothetical name like יַעֲקֹבְאֵל (Ya'aqov'el) meaning "may God protect". \n\nAlec:  Form of Alexander: "defending men"  "to defend, help" & "man"

(Sam′u·el) [Name of God].\n\nA prominent prophet (Ac 3:24; 13:20), traditionally credited with the writership of the Bible books of Judges, Ruth, and part of First Samuel.\n\nPromised to the service of Jehovah as a Nazirite by his mother Hannah before conception (1Sa 1:11), Samuel was taken to the tabernacle at Shiloh upon being weaned (perhaps at the age of at least three years,  and was left there in the charge of High Priest Eli.  Thus Samuel, having a linen ephod girded on, ‘ministered to Jehovah’ as a boy.  As he grew, Samuel became “more likable both from Jehovah’s standpoint and from that of men.”\n\nBecomes Prophet at an Early Age. At night Samuel slept in “the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God was,” and his first assignment in the morning appears to have been to open “the doors of Jehovah’s house.” \n\nLeads Israel in True Worship. Over 20 years later, at Samuel’s exhortation, the Israelites abandoned idolatrous worship and began serving Jehovah alone. \n\nThe days of Samuel brought additional reverses for the Philistines  and proved to be a period marked by outstanding Passover celebrations.  Samuel also seems to have worked out some arrangement for the Levite gatekeepers, and his arrangement may have served as a basis for the organization put into operation by David. \n\nAnoints Saul as King. The unfaithfulness of Samuel’s sons, coupled with the threat of warfare with the Ammonites, prompted the older men of Israel to request that Samuel appoint a king over them. \n\nAnoints David. \n\nSamuel died as an approved servant of Jehovah God after a lifetime of faithful service.  He had demonstrated persistence in fulfilling his commission, devotion to true worship, honesty in his dealings, and courage and firmness in announcing and upholding Jehovah’s judgments and decisions

, “the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah”! John is familiar with the prophecy that Jacob, ancestor of the Jewish race, pronounced concerning his fourth son, Judah: “A lion cub Judah is. From the prey, my son, you will certainly go up. He bowed down, he stretched himself out like a lion and, like a lion, who dares rouse him? The scepter will not turn aside from Judah, neither the commander’s staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to him the obedience of the peoples will belong.” (Genesis 49:9, 10) The royal line of God’s people stemmed from Judah. Starting with David, all the kings who ruled in Jerusalem until the Babylonians destroyed that city were Judah’s descendants. But not one of them was the Shiloh prophesied by Jacob. Shiloh means “He Whose [Right] It Is.” Prophetically, this name pointed to Jesus, the one to whom the Davidic Kingdom now permanently belongs.—Ezekiel 21:25-27; Luke 1:32, 33; \n\nJohn quickly recognizes the reference to “the root of David.” The promised Messiah is prophetically called both “a twig out of the stump of Jesse [father of King David] . . . a sprout” and “the root of Jesse that will be standing up as a signal for the peoples.” (Isaiah 11:1, 10) Jesus was a twig of Jesse, being born into the royal line of David, son of Jesse. Further, as a root of Jesse, he was the One that caused the Davidic dynasty to sprout again, giving it life and sustenance forever.—2 Samuel 7:16.
