The Jehovah Witness understand that the word Jehovah was created by Raymundus Martin in his publication Dagger of Faith in the 13th-century.
They will tell you it's the closet to God's name. If you follow Michael Gibson's progression just on this forum on this subject. He has used JAH, YAH, Jehovah, can't remember Yahweh. But even he is confused.
Acts 4:12 doesn't point to any other name but JESUS. So, YAH, Yahvah, Yehvah, Yehovah, or what other alphabet soup or word jumble you come up with. Micheal Gibson, understands that nowhere in the New Testament does the early church set any precedent for the use of the Tetragrammaton. Mike is just following the practice of Talmudic Kabbalist Rabbis, by using the Hebrew verb as a talisman. As by speaking it it gives the speaker more power, or by misusing it can cause one to commit blasphemy
