WHATS IN A NAME!
TIKVAT HA SHANI is taken from Joshua 2:21, meaning the “scarlet cord”, so it is literally ‘a cord of hope’, as is the Name of the Lord.
TIKVAH: in Hebrew means “hope”, but in this reference it is literally the word for “cord”. SHANI: is the color “scarlet”, this was one of the three main colors commanded for decorative use in the
Also we believe the Lord has gifted our hands to do “artistic works”:
to bless others, and to blessed through our works:
“All the women who were gifted artisans,
spun yarn with their hands, they brought what they had spun
of blue, purple and scarlet (shani) yarn and fine linen”
Most of our banners are designed simply with the Name of the LORD: YAHWEH, YESHUA, or ADONAI. Our vision is that as people literally “look” upon the Name of the LORD, they will be reminded that He is always a “strong tower” for them to run into for safety … He is to each one of us a “tikvat ha shani” (cord of hope)
“The Name of the LORD is a strong tower;
the righteous run to it and are safe.” Proverbs 18:10
