Rabbi Abulafia wrote many wisdom books and prophetic books where the name is used for meditation purposes from 1271 onwards. Abulafia put a lot of attention on Exodus 15 and the Songs of Moses. In this song it says "Yehovah is a Man of War, Yehovah is his name." For Abulafia the goal of prophecy was for a man to come to the level of prophecy and be called "Yehovah a man of war." Abulafia also used the tetragrammaton in a spiritual war against his spiritual enemies. For example, he prophesied in his book "The Sign," "Therefore, thus said YHWH, the God of Israel: Have no fear of the enemy." | Rabbi Abulafia wrote many wisdom books and prophetic books where the name is used for [[meditation]] purposes from 1271 onwards.
