024A - Two Yahweh's or just One. (GENESIS 19:24)

I did a Serious & Prayerful Scripture Study on Genesis 19:24. I have come up with the below explanation, but after collecting, comparing, collating, and checking on various multiple sources. I WANT TO BE CLEAR ON THIS PLEASE: The purpose of this communication is NOT for any tiny Sand or Straw of Personal Credit or Gratification, but let Praise, Honor and Glory be of Yahweh.

Having said that………………………………



Genesis 19:24 (King James Bible}
Then the LORD (Yahweh) rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD (Yahweh) out of heaven;

Trinitarians and Binatarians love this above Scripture. This is their proof text that there are two Yahweh’s or two Elohim or two God’s mentioned here in one Sentence or Statement. Warning, this is going to get complicated now. Their first argument & conclusion is that the first part of Genesis 19:24 it is Yahweh speaking from an Earthly perspective and the second part of the same scripture is Yahweh speaking from Heaven. The second is that first name Yahweh refers to Yahshua (Jesus) on Earth and the second name Yahweh refers to Almighty God Yahweh in Heaven. Thirdly according to Binatarian theorists, therefore these two different persons with God's personal name show the "plural personality" of that one God. (Genesis 1:26)

Nothing Trinitarian here……
There are absolutely no three identities or beings or persons or personalities, not even 3 names mentioned at Genesis 19:24, so using this scripture as a Trinitarian belief is absurd and wrong.

TRANSLATION TROUBLES
Even if we assume this to be a correct translation, Genesis 19:24 (King James Bible), it seems obvious that it can be honestly interpreted as a simple repetition of the same person's name. That is, the very same person who produced the brimstone and fire, Yahweh, is also the one who rained it down upon these cities.

SIMILAR NAME REPEATING PARALLELS IN SCRIPTURE:
"And King Solomon gave to the Queen of Sheba all that she desired, whatever she asked besides what was given her by the bounty of King Solomon." - 1 Kings 10:13, RSV. (Cf. KJV.) To rephrase the above scripture, ("King Solomon gave her everything she asked him for, besides the presents he had already planned.") Even though this is a very literal translation of the original manuscripts and the one personal name of King Solomon is actually used twice, we surely don't believe there were two different persons making up the one King Solomon!

ANOTHER HONEST EXPLANATION FOR GENESIS 19:24 given by Trinitarian scholars themselves is that the use of the phrase in question ("from the LORD out of heaven") is in doubt. The very Trinitarian New American Bible, 1970 ed. (Catholic) encloses the last part of Gen. 19:24 in brackets: "the LORD rained down sulfurous fire upon Sodom and Gomorrah [from the LORD out of heaven]." And the preface to the NAB tells us: "Doubtful readings ... appear within brackets." - p. 45, St. Joseph Edition.

That is why these Trinitarian Bible translations have actually omitted that doubtful portion: NEB, REB, AT, Mo, LB,
and GNB. (E.g. "then the LORD rained down fire and brimstone from the skies on Sodom and Gomorrah." -New English Bible.) And others, like the NJB, have rendered it "[Jehovah] rained down on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire of his own sending."
