I’m fascinated with Rev. 19:12, which refers to Jesus having a name that no one else knows. And what about Rev. 2:17, which says that the one who overcomes will receive a white stone with a new name written on it that only that person will know. Is that for every believer, or specific only to that particular church’s situation?

The whole topic is fascinating!

There is SO much to learn from the Word, through study and from each other. I also enjoy to give and take of your comment form. Thank you for continuing this series.

I think it is likely that the Knighting formula borrowed its structure from the more ancient baptismal formula, without realizing its grammatical significance.

Now, if you were able to come up with an older formula that had the same structure…

Its a fair comment, and on topic, so it got posted.

Any Greek scholars wish to comment as to the structure of the phrasing in Greek?

The Knighting Ceremony

At the age of 21, if he had acquitted himself well as page and squire, the young man was made a knight……….He then knelt to receive the accolade. This was a blow upon the neck or shoulder, given by the officiating lord or knight with his fist or with the flat of a sword. As he gave it he said,

“In the name of God and St. Michael and St. George, I dub thee knight; be brave and loyal.”

note the singular use of “name”. I think the grammar could go either way. The structure in “the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit” doesn’t require they all have the same name. Feel free to drop the comment from posting, as it may be nit-picky and no one likes a pest.

I will be getting into the meaning of the name Jesus as well as the “I am” statements of John 8:24 and 8:56 in a future post.

Stay tuned.

Look at the trouble Jesus got in when He said, “Before Abraham was, I am.” There is a name for you! Great post!
