A Book of Remembrance—For Those Who Think Upon His Name

God’s Last‑Day “Special Treasure”

He has a special treasure hidden in the earth. They are a chosen people whom He watches with keen attention as they walk through this world. He takes special note of them.

O, that God would remember us! There is a way for these special ones to be in God’s memory. Yahweh notices these characteristics about them:

(1) They fear Him. They stand in awe of Him. They know who He truly is, what He has done, and they hold a reverential awe toward His majesty.

(2) They speak often one to another. They find each other. And when they do, they “click.” God directs their steps until their paths meet.

(3) God listens to their conversations. He hearkens to their speech as they encourage one another.

(4) And then He remembers them. When they fear Him, He not only takes notice—He commands His angels to write “a book of remembrance…for them that feared Yahweh, and that thought upon His name” (Malachi 3:16–17).

What were they speaking about? We know that whatever we think about, that is what we speak about. These chosen ones were speaking to each other about God’s Name—His Hebrew Name.

This moves God. How can we—little old us—ever touch God’s heart so that He would take notice of us? First, we fear Him; that is wisdom. Wisdom is reverential awe. And then we think on His Name. We ponder His Name, peruse it, explore it, understand the message contained in His Name, and then believe that message.

And this is the message contained in the Son’s Name Yahshua: Yahweh is the Savior (Isaiah 43:11).

He goes on to say that Yahweh will remember His elect “in that day when I make up my jewels” (“special treasure” in Hebrew). And these special ones He will spare.

Spare them from what? Spare them from the tribulation coming upon the earth. He will take care of His own—but not through a rapture. The humble who are in awe of Yahshua’s Name will make it through to the other side of earth’s destruction.

“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Yahweh… But unto you that fear my Name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings…” (Mal. 4:1–2).

His “special treasure” is His elect—those who fear Him and think upon His Name. Kenneth Wayne Hancock
