I agree with the verse you shared, but do not agree with your interpretation of it.
It says: "but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them."
That means Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob did not know His name. That's all it says.
However, your interpreted that to mean more than what it actually says, "God said very clearly, those who call me by "Jehova" do not know me,"
No, God did not say that. For example, you don't know my name unless I volunteer it to you. That doesn't mean somehow that if you say my name that you magically don't know me- or that you would be disowned if you said it.
It's important to read the Bible literally and to not inadvertently add to it.

"And I appeared vnto Abraham, vnto Isaac, and vnto Iacob, by the Name of God Almighty, but by my name IEHOVAH was I not knowen to them."
YHWH's name is not pronounced [Yah-How-Wha] phonetically. Similarly, Iesus's name is not pronounced "Yeh-Shoo-Ah". His name is repeated throughout scripture as Iesus [Jee-Zus].
YHWH's is referred to as "The All Mighty", "The Alpha and Omega", "I Am", "Breath of Life". Saying [Yah-Way], or [Jeh-Ho-Vah] is not his name. YHWH are the letter that express the Lord's name. Similarly, you would call someone name "Jon" [Jay-Oh-En]. It's like trying to say his name by speaking out letters.
See Mark 16:14-19.
See Luke 24:44-51 and Acts 1:3-8. Seems that Doctor Luke might have run out of scroll writing his Gospel and continued his account at the beginning of The Acts of The Apostles. Acts1:9-11 continues with The Ascension.
John recorded nothing related to this event.
So I'd assume that all these things were said by Jesus and that they saw Jesus ascend to The Father. "But some doubted." Matt 28:17.
The angel of the Lord of the old testament is the same as Jehovah of the old testament and is the same that came in the flesh that we know as Jesus Christ and is now back in the glorified body he has had since he was begotten of the Father. The angel of the Lord is a man in a glorified body, Jehovah is a man in a glorified body. Jehovah set aside his glorified body and took upon himself a body like sinful flesh and was manifest as the man Jesus Christ who died for us to reconcile his brothers and sisters to the Father. Then at his resurrection took back the glorified body he laid down for us. Let's look at some of the scriptures that shed light on this. All angels have glorified bodies like their archangel the angel of the Lord.
Exodus 3:2 The angel of the Lord appeared to him (Moses) in a flame of fire......
Exodus 3:14 And God (Jehovah) said unto Moses (as the angel of the Lord out of the burning bush)I AM that I AM.....
John 8:58 .... before Abraham was, I AM.
Genesis 18:1 And the Lord appeared unto him (Abraham).....
Genesis 18:2 And he (Abraham) lift up his eyes and looked, and lo, THREE MEN stood by him...
Genesis 18:22 And the (two) men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord (Jehovah, the third man).
Genesis 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man.....
Hosea 12:4 Yet he (Jacob) had power over the angel......
Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entered angels unawares.
Psalm 103:20 Bless ye the Lord, ye HIS ANGELS....
Meditate upon the implications this last verse implies.
There are many more scriptures that parallel the angel, Jehovah and Jesus Christ, but not enough space in 2000 words to write them all.
Ask for the Spirits wisdom and understanding and YE SHALL RECEIVE.
The smallest of all three me's
is in my youngest memories..
In the green pastures i will forever find her there ...
Beside the still waters she plays without a care...
By her tiny right hand God led her to this place...
He let her little body fall
And set a choice all Gods children face...
No words were spoken by her Heavenly Father that fleshy ears would hear...
Her soul was gathered in God's love that innocently was without fear...
He gave her the choice of live or to die..
She chose to live and she told her Heavenly Father why..
She knew by death ... here she would remain..
In the presence of God's love .. no words can explain..
She answered
"i would like to live so i can play"
God restored her soul. By his gift of life. ...is the very breath she breathed..
Where she had fallen as dead upon the grass ..
Her first death has come to pass...
God opened her eyes
She was able to see...
There was no veil to divide....
God opened her ears to hear.. upon her heart he wrote his law for her life she would abide..
He planted a seed and its hidden in her heart...
Such a gift found in the words she sews....
In Gods love she continues to grow..

22But what is commanded thee, think thereupon with reverence, for it is not needful for thee to see with thine eyes the things that are in secret.23Be not curious in unnecessary matters: for more things are shewed unto thee than men understand.24For many are deceived by their own vain opinion; and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment.
Job 2:9 "Then said (1) his wife unto him, Doest thou still retain thine integrity? curse God , and die." The cross reference (1) sends me to Gen. 3:6 where Eve eats of the tree of good and evil and so did Adam. Job's wife said the same as Eve said to Adam. But Job said, "thou speakest as one of the foolish women." He know who the foolish people were. The foolish are speaking of those given to unnatural sex as stated in Romans, professing to be wise they became fools. Job would not join his wife in foolish. Noah was perfect, Gen 6:9 "Noah was a just man and perfect."
The just have wisdom:
Characteristics of the just:
Pro. 10:20, "The tongue of the just is as choice silver"
Pro. 10:31, "The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom."
Pro. 4:18, "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the
perfect day
Ps 7:9, "Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins." When an unjust person returns to God they will be justified, made just again.
I have a partial list of those in the Bible who are just and perfect.

"The difference is we help build this country the way it is, "" ALL OF US""
If you want to include yourself, I don't know you well enough to object,
however, "all" is an accusation against brethren, and we both know who
is famous for that.
America is one of the least ungodly nations on Earth. The bedrock is
the Constitution, created with biblical principles in the minds of the
writers. It is a contract between the people who understand their
political rights come from God, and the government. The people agree to comply
with the government when the government follows the Constitution/law. The
problem we have today is that the governing bodies are departing from
following the Constitution. You can't legislate people to be saved.
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people". It is
wholly inadequate to the government of any other." - John Adams
Too many Americans are strangers to the word of God.
To your point, believers have a part in shaping our society but the decline
in morality is not something "all" believers must bear. I am persuaded that
laodicean lukewarmness is on the rise in representing the church in the
world today. A seduction of wealth and goods has blinded many a local
church from seeing it's need for a lord to rule and a purpose to accomplish.
That church is neither hot/soothing or cold/refreshing to our Lord. Workers
in the harvest are sparse and that ought not to be. All is not lost, because
our Lord is still offering Laodiceans gold, to repentent ones.
It is laziness to project the end of times is near and all world wrongs will be
righted in some biblical cataclysmic event, when instead, working to increase
the harvest of souls is indeed something of our Lords will we know pleases him.
That repentence could usher in a revival of the true church with godly believers.
Why rant/vent here?
Jesus overcame the curse, he was tempted in all points such as we are yet without sin,
He always did those things which pleased his father.
Jesus never gave himself to the lusts of the flesh, the lust of the eyes or the pride of life.
HE NEVER KNEW INIQUITY,
Ironic that Even Jesus could not accomplish what he did with out the spirit of his father abiding in him..
I can totally understand how you feel. My grandpa went into the hospital but he died three days after he went in. Praying your grandpa gets better and healthy again! How old is he?
Many prayers and blessings,

Are you referring to this verse?
Exodus 6:3 (KJV) And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
God is Love and rich in mercy,
We will keep you in our prayers.
Corinthians 13:8 is where it is written. Corinthians 13 is a great chapter on love/charity.
God Bless.
