warum ihr beim Lesen der älteren Kommentare (bis 2013) den Eindruck habt, dass wir Zeugen Jehovas sind, erkläre ich hier ausführlich. Nur ganz kurz: NEIN, wir sind keine ZJ, sondern einfach nur Christen – ohne irgendeine Konfession, Dachverband oder Organisation über uns – die für Gott und sein Wort brennen und sich gerne mit anderen darüber unterhalten und austauschen
Hier findest du die Daten zu unseren Treffen
… ist es, Menschen die Gott noch nicht kennen, zu ihm zu führen und mit seinem Wort bekannt zu machen; andere mit unserer Begeisterung für Gott und sein Wort anzustecken; einander zu ermuntern, im Glauben zu bleiben und zu wachsen; und einander zu helfen, ein ganz persönliches Verhältnis zum Schöpfer zu entwickeln, zu bewahren und zu vertiefen.
Wir betrachten die ganze Bibel als Gottes Wort und sie hat für uns oberste Autorität. Wir vertreten keine bestimmte Lehrmeinung, sondern beziehen auch gerne andere Meinungen und Auslegungen mit ein, denn jeder sollte sich selbst anhand der Bibel ein Bild machen
Bitte „entschuldigt“, aber Arnold Fruchtenbaum – ein Jude, der zu Christus gefunden hat, benutzt (ebenso wie die unrevidierte Elberfelder 1905) diesen Namen als Name Gottes und er hatte auch in einem Seminar mal erklärt, warum:
Auch wenn wir aufgrund der Schreibart der Juden nicht genau wissen, wie der Name früher ausgesprochen wurde (die Juden selbst sprechen ihn überhaupt nicht aus), so wissen wir doch, dass die meisten Namen der Bibel, die ein „Je“ drin haben, von dem Namen Gottes abgeleitet sind, wie zum.B. Jesus, Jesaja, Jeremia – um nur einige zu nennen
Viele sprechen den Namen heute gar nicht mehr aus, das HERR hat den Gottes Namen in der Bibel ersetzt. Die meisten Übersetzer, die den Namen drin gelassen haben, übersetzen ihn mit Jahwe. Der Name Jehova wird sehr ungern benutzt, da er an die Zeugen Jehovas erinnert…
Wichtig ist, dass der Name überhaupt benutzt wird, wir werden es unter anderem auch bei den 10 Plagen noch sehen. Es steht dir also frei, Jahwe oder Jehova zu sagen.
Wir benutzen wie Arnold Fruchtenbaum den Namen Jehova – aus den selben Gründen

Good Old Fashioned Hand Written Code by Eric J. Schwarz
Josiah ascended the throne of Judah at eight years old.
A boy King from Judah who did not inherit a legacy of faith.
His grandfather, Manasseh, reigned for more than
half a century and led Judah into idolatry so deep
that Scripture says he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood (2 Kings 21:16).
His father, Amon, followed the same pattern,
and his reign ended violently after just two years as king.
Spiritually, Josiah grew up in a house where
the fear of the LORD had been abandoned
at the highest levels of power.
And yet, Scripture records something unexpected,
“He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD
and walked in all the way of David his father” (2 Kings 22:2).
This statement was not explained and had been a question for me.
The Chronicler even adds an important detail, saying
“In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young,
he began to seek the God of David his father”
(2 Chronicles 34:3).
It’s important to note that this seeking occurred
before the Book of the Law was discovered in the temple
which happened when Josiah ordered its restoration.
So how did a child, raised in such a spiritually corrupted household, come to seek the LORD at all?
Scripture never named a prophet who discipled him.
It never identified a priest who guided his conscience.
But interestingly enough, Scripture does record
the name of his mother, something unconventional
in their culture, since women aren’t given that much
importance especially when it comes to political matters.
2 Kings 22:1 says that Josiah was born to Jedidah.
Ang guess what, her name means “beloved.”
Although the text did not say that Jedidah instructed
Josiah in the Law, and we must resist the temptation
to speculate beyond what Scripture reveals,
I believe the biblical authors were always
deliberate in what they preserve.
The naming of this boy king’s mother was never accidental,
it places a relational and moral frame around his story.
He was so young and there was no good example to look at
from his grandfather and father who reigned before him.
In a palace saturated with idolatry, God preserved
a woman whose very name testified to belonging, to being loved.
Even if she lacked political power, and even if her influence
was quiet and constrained, Scripture allowed us to see
that Josiah did not emerge from a spiritual vacuum.
His faith began not in the temple courts, but somewhere earlier.
Somewhere smaller. Somewhere unseen.
This fits a wider biblical pattern.
God often nurtures faith long before it becomes public.
He works through whispered memory,
partial truth, and fragile obedience.
The survival of covenant faith in Israel
was rarely maintained by kings, more often,
it was preserved in households, names, stories,
and quiet fear of the Lord.
Josiah’s later response to the rediscovered Law confirms this.
When the scroll was read, he tore his garments
and humbled himself (2 Kings 22:11).
This was not the reaction of a heart
encountering God for the first time.
It was the response of someone
who already feared Him and I believe
Jedidah, his mother, played a part in it.
But still, Josiah’s faith, for all its sincerity, had limits.
His reforms were real, but judgment on Judah was not reversed.
His obedience was genuine, but it could not heal generations of rebellion.
His death came suddenly, and his story ended unresolved.
Scripture leaves us waiting there.
Waiting for a King whose righteousness
would not merely reform a nation, but redeem it.
Waiting for a Son who would not rediscover the Law, but fulfill it.
Waiting for One who would not simply be raised
by someone called Beloved, but who would be declared
Beloved by the Father Himself.
Josiah shows us that God can awaken faith
even in the darkest environments.
Jesus shows us that only God Himself
can bring lasting salvation.
And between those two truths, Scripture teaches us
to honor the quiet beginnings of faith, often shaped long
before revival is visible, and often carried by those history barely names.
