We proceed in Exodus 20:4: "You should not make unto you any graven picture, or any resemblance of anything that is in paradise above, or that is in the earth underneath, or that is in the water under the earth." Understand that barbarians didn't venerate a stone picture as the stone that it seemed to be, yet as a representation of some divinity.
Yahweh says don't make these things since they will expel you from love of Me, and I am the one and only you are to revere. When we utilize substitute titles for His Name we are in heathen worship similar to the agnostic's wood and stone. Similarly that a symbol expels us from Him, substituting His Name veers us far from Him and the particular love communicated by His Name and places us in a summed up love that is honed by differing and clashing categories.
Proceeding onward to 20:6 we are advised to keep the instructions on the off chance that we cherish Him and He thus will indicate leniency to us. Presently see verse 7: "Thou shalt not take the name of Yahweh your Elohim futile." Taking His Name futile does not intend to revile when you crush your thumb with a sledge. "Take" is the Hebrew nasa, intending to lift or bring to. "Vain" originates from shoaw, to surge over, convey to annihilation, futility, waste - essentially it implies disregard.
When we exchange His name for some title, we are breaking the Third Commandment. "You should not convey His Name to devastation or disregard it through disregard," the Hebrew behind the instruction says. When we utilize a typical title in love we are feeling the loss of the most imperative part of who Yahweh is and what He remains for; what He is about and what He will accomplish for us on the off chance that we would simply take after and obey Him. His Name portrays the very pith of who He is - Yahweh: He is presence embodied.
