<strong>NAMES</strong> <strong>OF</strong> <strong>GOD</strong> IN <strong>THE</strong> BIBLE: A DISPENSATIONAL APPROACH : PR<strong>OF</strong>. M. M. NINAN<br />
42 letters, are traditionally split into 7 names of 6 letters each.<br />
Another representation of the Ana Bekoach is the 7 leaf Menorah. King David meditated on this for<br />
hours before entering into battle.<br />
The model was made after David had a dream. As David<br />
relates<br />
"In the dream, I was in a very dark place.<br />
I was tied up and could not move anything.<br />
I tried to scream but my voice was gone.<br />
It was very frightening.<br />
Then the Ana BeKoach prayer rose up in my mind.<br />
I started saying it in my thoughts.<br />
When I reached the third line everything disappeared and I<br />
woke up."<br />
Forty-two words make up this Psalm which represent a connection to<br />
the 42-letter name of the Creator, also known as the Ana B’choach.<br />
This prayer is meant to arouse within us thankfulness and appreciation<br />
for the unseen miracles that occur in our lives.<br />
A song of thanksgiving,<br />
Shout in triumph to HaShem, all the earth.<br />
Serve HaShem with joy,<br />
come before the Eternal with happiness.<br />
Know that HaShem is the Eternal One,<br />
the One who made us, and to whom we belong,<br />
the people, the flock of the Eternal’s pasture.<br />
Enter the Eternal’s gates with thanksgiving,<br />
the Eternal’s courts with praise.<br />
Thank the Eternal, praise the Name.<br />
For HaShem is good, mercy everlasting,<br />
faithfulness, enduring through all generation<br />
