Origin
The Assemblies of Yahweh consider themselves to be the reconstituted Apostolic Assembly that went into dormancy in 70 C.E. The sect's founder, Jacob O. Meyer (November 11, 1934 - April 9, 2010), came into contact with some Sacred Name groups and became convinced of the importance of exclusively employing the names Yahweh for God and Yahshua for Jesus. Meyer rejected the Sacred Name Movement and went on to found in 1969 the Assemblies of Yahweh, which promotes strict adherence to Biblical principles. The organization sometimes refers to itself as "Modern Day Elijah", alluding to Malachi 4 and Mark 9:12 concerning the return of Yahweh in the "End times".

“We have got rid of the fetish of the divine right of kings, and that slavery is of divine origin and authority. But the divine right of property has taken its place. The tendency plainly is towards ... “a government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.””
