se le ha puesto a esta iglesia el nombre de Icabod


Explanation:
1 Samuel 4:21: Y llamó al niño Icabod, diciendo: ¡Se ha ido la gloria de Israel!, por haber sido tomada el arca de Dios, y por la muerte de su suegro y de su marido.

Ponerle a la iglesia el nombre de Icabod, en sentido figurado, vendría a ser como decir que Dios se ha apartado de esa iglesia o algo parecido. No quiere decir que ese sea el nombre que aparezca en el cartel de la entrada.

Ejemplos:
When the Spirit must write over any work or movement, "Ichabod" -- "The glory has departed" (1 Sam. 4:21) then only the prayerful, separated, unde­filed "Daniels" will be ready to accu­rately interpret the cause and effect.

Note the words of Acts 4:31: "And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together;" There are many churches where they never pray the kind of prayer that you read of here. A church that does not know how to pray and to shout will never be shaken. If you live in a place like that, you might as well write over the threshold: "Ichabod"---"The glory is departed from Israel." (1 Sam. 4:21). It is only when men have learned the secret of prayer, power, and praise that God comes forth.
