The Tetragrammaton in Rome

As our organization has well explained, the disappearance of the divine name from the Bible is the result of a series of doctrinal errors, superstitions, and even bad faith.

However, it must be emphasized that the Jews simply pronounced it to read "Lord" but never eliminated the Tetragrammaton from their sacred writings.

It was the self-proclaimed Christians who did so. But even in this case, traces of the divine name can be found in artistic works dating back a few hundred years, which means this determination to completely erase it is relatively new.

Did you know, for example, that in Rome, the name Jehovah, in the form of the four Hebrew characters called the Tetragrammaton, is engraved or painted on various works of art, often located inside Catholic churches?

This post will be continuously updated by BIBLE TOURS ROME JW with new examples, but let's start with the first and most famous, as well as the most contradictory, given that it is found in the "headquarters" of Catholicism!

1. St. Peter’s Basilica, Rome's most famous church contains the Tetragrammaton

• Artwork: Funeral Monument to Pope Clement XIII (you have to walk along the entire central nave, when you have the central altar in front of you the funerary monument is on your right)

• Detail: Located on the forehead of the statue of Religion (the standing female figure). The four Hebrew letters are engraved on her headband.

• Author: Antonio Canova.

• Year: 1783–1792.

• Map: St. Peter's Basilica

This statue is part of the monumental tomb of Clement XIII and represents the personification of Religion

The good news is that Christianity has never succeeded in completely eliminating Jehovah's name.

But would you like to discover how true Christianity changed to apostate Christendom, responsible for attempting to erase God's name from the Holy Scriptures? Book the Apostasy and Rome tour and BIBLE TOURS ROME JW will explain it to you in the setting of the two most important Catholic churches in the world!
