“Yitgadal veyitkadash shmeh rabba”

This is often translated into English as “Magnified and sanctified be His great name.” It is understandable how this could be seen as a prayer praising God. But the prayer is not a praise; it is a request. The worshiper is asking for God to be magnified and to be sanctified, implying — correctly — that God is not fully magnified and sanctified. We here pray He will be soon.

This was Benjamin Netanyahu’s response when Assad asked Israel for aid against the Syrian rebels.

Priceless…..

God is NOT FULLY magnified and sanctified? I must be misunderstanding your comment. God IS PERFECT! Thus, He is perfectly magnified and sanctified. Man can not make God any greater than He IS!

We magnify God by worshiping him.

We "sanctify" God (in our minds) by recognizing that he is, in fact, sanctified and that all sanctification comes through him.

He may have been talking about continued progressive sanctification where after the person has been reborn and the person continues to get closer and closer to God renewing their minds and presenting their bodies a living sacrifice which is their reasonable service.

• Romans 12:1: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service".
