What was the role of the Holy Spirit in the O.T?

It is amazing how some people ignorantly asserts that the Holy Spirit was quiescent under the old testament. Others also are of the opinion that the Holy Spirit is just an active force or a thing and not a person, but is it true? A true and a careful bible study will make you fathom the fact that the Spirit of God was not dormant in the old testament, and all his works cannot also be attributed to an active force or a thing, but to a true divine person.

What is the difference between LORD, Lord and lord?

The usage of, "LORD, Lord and lord" in the bible is not a mistake, because they carry different meaning. Some people think that they mean the same thing, but when you consult the Hebrew and Greek translation, you will come to the realization that they are used differently in the bible. My main emphasis for this short article is to distinguish the difference between the bible usage of "LORD, Lord and lord" for your spiritual edification.                                     LORD                                                                       ''LORD'' in the Hebrew is the word, ''YHWH'' , also known as the tetragrammaton (four letter words). It is often pronounced, "Yahweh or "Yehovah, or Jehovah", which is the person...
