National anthem for the Kingdom of God

Since the Kingdom of God is a present and future reality, it it were up to you, what song or hymn would be your choice for our "national anthem"?

YHVH Nissi means YHVH my banner. SO why not a song as well?

My choice would be "Guide Me Thou Great Jehovah"....and yours?

"Yahveh"?

This is how it is pronounced, yes.

I am off to work soon, and so just wish to say thank you EJ for taking no offense. May you, if you wish, be granted ears to hear so that you may know the truth of this matter from the Truth, Himself: Christ Jaheshua, the Holy One of Israel and Chosen One of Jah, the Most Holy One of Israel.

May anyone who wishes them be given ears to hear, so that you may hear as the Spirit (Christ) and the Bride say to YOU, "Come!" May anyone who thirsts, 'Come! Take the free gift of the water of Life."

(which water is holy spirit, that the Son has been given without end from His Father, that He may give to whomever He chooses)

Peace to you and to your loved ones, as my Lord gives peace,
your servant and a slave of Christ,
tammy

Absolutely, that was the point of the list I posted. The rules and history of language vary enormously and the Divine Name is pronounced differently in different languages. Spellings differentiates from one country to another, some languages might not even HAVE the letter "Y" (or J) so alternative spelling are necessary, while respecting the basic rules of proper transliteration. What conclusion are we to make for these people? A lot of languages (many African dialects for example) are not written and alphebets have first to be invented. How can we be dogmetic about which letter must go at the beginning? Whose to say God won't hear the Zulu people because they spell the divine name with an initial U- rather than a Y-, or ignore sincere Norwegian praise because the hebrew Yod is transliterated to the letter /i/ in their language?

I firmly believe that God speaks all languages, even English.
