Alvan Quamina: Uplifting the Name Symbolized by the Tetragrammaton
The tetragrammaton uses four letters that symbolize the great holiness of God. The four-letter name (YHWH or JHVH) is too sacred to be spoken aloud.
Who is Alvan Quamina?
Alvan Quamina is a minister of the gospel, teaching the words of God and uplifting the name symbolized by the tetragrammaton. He was born and raised in Trinidad & Tobago. Alvan also follows the footsteps of his grandfather, father, mother, and uncle in conveying the teachings of God to His disciples. He served as the assistant Pastor of Mozart Missionary Baptist Church and was Director of Door of hope Rescue Mission in Chicago. He wrote Glory to Glory, a book on the identification of Jehovah-Elyon.
What is the Tetragrammaton?
The tetragrammaton is a symbol composed of four letters in Hebrew, יהוה. The four letters are Yod, Hey, Vav, and Hey, also written as YHVH or JHVH, symbolizing God’s name in Hebrew, Yahweh or Jehovah. Since it is believed that God’s name is too sacred to be spoken aloud, the terms Adonai, El Shaddai, or Hashem are used instead.

It helps the readers understand the Most Divine with the use of a variety of views, including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, early Africa, and Judaism. The book tells the story of Jehovah from way before the creation of the world to the final judgment. It also allows the readers to appreciate the story and the words of the name symbolized by the tetragrammaton – the Father whose name is most exalted, whose name is above anything else in heaven and earth, whose name is the praise of all the saints.

Excerpts:
“The term God is not a name, and it is certainly not the name, or even a name of the Almighty, the Holy One. It is in fact a generic descriptive term which can hardly be individualized, for “there are gods many, and lords many.” He Himself indicated that He could not have a name when questioned by Moses, as to who to tell the people had sent him. Jehovah’s reply was, “I am that I am.”
“The record of creation begins in Genesis 1:1 with the definitive statement, “In the beginning, Jehovah created the heaven and the earth.” This heaven, which was created in the beginning, is referred to, in the Rabbinic tradition, as the uppermost heaven. Verse 1 effectively summarizes the whole creation at that moment in time when the creation event was accomplished, which, according to modern science, is the Big Bang.”
“Nahmanides, a Hebrew scholar, referred to Genesis 1:1 as the reason that the creation account starts the Torah: Be resnith bara Elohim – “In the beginning (God) the Lord of the Forces created…” – which Nahmanides interprets as Jehovah creating the world for the sake of the Torah and is referred to as the beginning.
Alvan Quamina Dedicates This to the Glory of Our Father, the Most High

It tells us the greatness of God’s power and blessings all over the earth. This book strengthens a connection and relationship with Elohim. Alvan Quamina gives his readers the idea that the name that the tetragrammaton symbolizes is ever-powerful. In the coming of the judgment day ahead, we will remember the name that will bring us eternal joy — JHVH or YHWH. The four letters symbolize power and glory.
