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".

Famous quotes containing the word origin:
“All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Our theism is the purification of the human mind. Man can paint, or make, or think nothing but man. He believes that the great material elements had their origin from his thought.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The real, then, is that which, sooner or later, information and reasoning would finally result in, and which is therefore independent of the vagaries of me and you. Thus, the very origin of the conception of reality shows that this conception essentially involves the notion of a COMMUNITY, without definite limits, and capable of a definite increase of knowledge.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
