The HOLY NAME of Our Creator

yhvhinhebrew.gif

The Identity of YAHVEH is the Source of Creation What does this mean? What are the implications of the knowledge that it is the name of Elohim itself, which brought about the illumination of the Urim and the Tummim. YAHVEH is the Creator of all existence; His power is unlimited. He is a spirit, He neither has a beginning nor end…He is the Supreme Being. He is perfect, and absolute unity-Echad. His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. So we really don’t understand or know Him. Yet in numerous passages throughout the Bible, we are commanded to “know” Him. Proverbs 3:6: “In all of your ways, know Him” and in Hosea 2:22 “And I shall betroth you in faith, and you shall know YAHVEH.” These are just 2 examples of many such instances. Only through the word can we know him and the word became flesh and dwelt among us-Yeshua. Knowledge of Elohim through His Name or Titles Sages teach: “These Divine names of God are merely titles in which He has entitled us use; titles are not His true identity, which is beyond the reach of human understanding or knowledge. But it was through these titles or words that God created the heavens and earth, and it is by way of His Titles that He continues to direct every aspect of existence. So it is obvious that God’s name or titles, through which He summoned forth all creation from nothing at all, has great power. This power is the secret behind the prophetic revelation of the urim and the tummim. But we’re going to talk about His Set Apart Name Did You Know Our Creator has a Name? Creator, Adonai/Lord, Lord of Host, El/God, El Shaddai, which means - God Almighty, Most High God, Lord God, Elohim, Christ, Messiah, Judge, Rock, Father, or Abba-which means Father, Everlasting Father, Everlasting Light, Father of Lights, Master, Savior, Star, Sar Shalom - meaning Prince of peace, I AM, Alpha-Omega, the 1st - Last, the Beginning - End, Aleph-Tav, The BRANCH, True Vine, Horn of my Salvation, Rock of my Salvation, HaShem-which just means The Name, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Root of Jessie, Lion of Judah, Jehovah jireh-(should be Yahveh Yireh), Holy One, The Word, The Lamb, Lamb of God, Son of Man, The Way - The Truth and The Life, The Resurrection, Emmanuel-meaning El is with us or broken down it means El has over shadowed us with Salvation and there’s more. Against what many teach and say, these are just Titles, they are NOT Names, also there are no J’s in Hebrew, Greek, or even English until the late 1600’s So Let’s start in Proverbs 30:4-6 “Who has ascended up into the heaven, or descended? Who gathered the wind in His fist? Who has bound the waters in a mantle? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name and what is His Son’s name, if you can tell? Every word of Elohim is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Do not add to HIS words, unless He corrects you, and your found out to be a liar.” So be careful about changing YAHVEH’s scriptures. Like in Revelations 22:19 John here is speaking for Yeshua and says: “If any man shall take away from the words of this Book of Prophecy, Elohim will take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the Holy City, and from the things which are written in this Book.” We don’t want to lose our place in His Kingdom. Here is an example of scripture or the Word being changed: Look in 1st John 5:7-8 “For there are three that bear record” - the rest was added until you get to verse 8 after the word earth, “the spirit and the water and the blood and these three agree in one.” So the words: (in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost and these three are one. vs-8 And there are three that bear witness in earth. These were added.) So it should read: “For there are three that bear record, the Spirit and the water and the blood and these three agree in one (or echad.)” Now look in Ex.3:13-15 (many people think this is His name) “Elohim said unto Moshe, I AM that I AM: and He said, thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.” Now if we break that down, let’s see what it looks like. The Yud-Hey-Vav-Hey is the called the Tetragrammaton. Some Bibles say LORD, sadly some even say: Jehovah, many now days say Yahweh, we know the shorten form is YAH, from Psalm 68:4. But I believe it really should be YahVeh or YahVah. The Vav has a V sound not a W sound and I have never heard any other Hebrew Word with a W sound. Like the V’shamroo would be W’shamroo. His Title - the I AM, is HaYah in Hebrew and It would read: HaYah, Esher, HaYah - I AM THAT I AM HA, meaning THE, a Definite Article YAH- is from the verb - To Be meaning the one - Who Exist Therefore it would be: HaYah – Esher –HaYah Meaning: “The One who Exist, who continues to exist.” This is an idiom-(eed-e-um) meaning: ‘a variety or form of a language peculiar to a people’ using a double emphasis to bring out the fact of continual existence. In this case Our Elohim. Verse 15 the word, LORD is: Y-H-V-H in the English, which is the Yud-Hey-Vav-Hey in the Hebrew-being Yahveh. Yah – hy- the letters mean ‘The One Who Exist’ Vav – the letter w means: ‘Only’ Hey – the letter h means: ‘behold’ So it should read: ‘Behold the Only One Who Exist’ Vs 15 “YAHVEH Elohim of your fathers … has sent me to you: this is My Name and Memorial forever unto ALL generations.” A MEMORIAL is something to be held up by the way of remembrance with great respect. SO Elohim’s Name: YAHVEH is to held Up by way of Remembrance with the Greatest of Respect to all generations. The respect and honoring of His Name YAHVEH is to be for ALL mankind forever. His Name is Not Jehovah, (hovah - Isaiah 47:11) means mischief, and it’s Not Lord, it’s Not God and it’s Not Christ. HIS NAME IS: YAHVEH Who became YESHUA. Yeshua - means deliverance, Salvation! I did ask someone; “is there any W sounds in Hebrew? They said no. But how you say His name is up to you, YahVeh or YahWeh or YahVah. As long as we use His name. I even asked a Hassidic Jew and he said it was pronounced Yah-Veh. So that’s all I know to do. The Suppression of the Name? Rabbinical Judaism It 1st Began between 2 to 300 B.C then they Began to exalt the traditions of the Elders over the TORAH beginning of what is now called the TALMUD or The Oral Law written down. Then they began to exalt the authority of the Elders over the authority of Yahveh’s Word given by Moshe, (Moses). A Quotation from the Talmud - compiled opinions of the elders “Sanhedrin 11:3 states: “greater strictness applies to the words of the Scribes than to the word of the (written) Torah. If a man said, there is no obligation to wear phylacteries, so that he transgresses the word of the Torah, he is not to blame. (Phylacteries are small leather parchment boxes worn on the forehead). But if he said there should be in them five partitions, so that he adds to the words of the scribes, he is to blame.” Torah means his divine teachings or instructions, what people in the U.S.A. call: ‘The Law.’ Bera’chot 9:5 “They have made void your Law because it was a time to work for hwhy Yahveh.” Herbert Danby, his translation of the Mishnah, footnotes this passage, stating: “In times of emergency it may be right to set aside or amend the Commandments of God enjoined in His Law: the Law may best be served by breaking it.” I say: “Elohim forbid!” We know His Law, Torah, is His teachings and as 1 John 3:4 states: “only by His Torah can we know sin.” Also Romans 4:15 “Because the law works wrath, for where no law is, there is no transgression.” The Sages thought that the Sacred Name of EL was being abused, spoken with dis-respect. Like the 3rd Mitzvot. [Don’t take the name of Yahveh your Elohim in Vain.] With a wrong attitude, they went to the extreme, obliterating the Sacred Name from being spoken by the general public, and only could being spoken by the High Priest on Yom Kippur –(The Day of Atonement), and only then by a few chosen. It became punishable by death to anyone who Pronounced Correctly the hwhy Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey called the Tetragrammaton The TERM Was Called: ‘BLAS-PHE-MY ’ (Blas-fa-me) Leviticus 24:16 states: “and he that blasphemes the name of YAHVEH, shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemes the name, (the words ‘the LORD’ has been added) shall be put to death.” Even though I don’t teach from the Talmud, but some things in it needs to be revealed. The Mishnah, which gives the Talmudic Laws of the Jews, stated: “That a person convicted of blasphemy was sentenced to death by stoning.” Sanhedrin 7:5 says: “The blasphemer, is not to blame unless he pronounces the Sacred Name exactly.” Now the Foundation for Rabbinic or Man made Doctrine had been laid. Let’s go back to The Holy Scriptures to see what Elohim has to say as well as his Holy (set apart) Prophets. WHAT DOES ELOHIM SAY ABOUT HIMSELF? To Re-iterate: Exodus 3:14-15 HaYah – (The One Who Exist) HaYah Esher HaYah – (The One who Exist that will Continue to Exist with No End) Yud, Hey, Vav, Hey / hywy YAHVEH- Behold the Only One who exist Exodus 33:17-23 and 34:5-6 “And YAHVEH said to Moshe, I will do this thing also that you have spoken: for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name. 18) And he said, I beseech You, show me Your glory. 19) And He said, I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the Name of YAHVEH before you; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy. 20) And He said, You can not see My face: for there shall no man see Me and live. 21) And YAHVEH said, Behold, by Me is a place and you shall stand upon a rock: 22) And it shall come to pass, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. 23) And I take away My hand, and you shall see My back parts: but My face shall not be seen.” Now Exodus 34:5-6 “5) And descended in a cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the Name of YAHVEH. 6) YAHVEH passed by before him and proclaimed, YAHVEH, YAHVEH Elohim, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and Truth.” Our CREATOR even praised Himself, declaring His Name to be– YAHVEH and did you see how many times He said His name just in verse 6? 3 times just in one verse! This is a second act of Self Praise, a double emphasis; the First was when He created the Heavens and Earth. When there was no one else to Praise what He had done by creating the Heavens and Earth, He stood back at the end of each Day and said: “IT IS GOOD” What does Moshe say about pronouncing His Name? Dt.32:2-3 2) My doctrine shall drop as the rain, My speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: 3) Because I will publish the Name of YAHVEH: ascribe you greatness unto our Elohim.” Doctrine: is instruction - Teaching- Law - His Torah. My Speech: ‘speech is the Hebrew em’rah means - word or commandment – speech.’ Drop as the Rain is:‘fall from Heaven with Great Abundance’ Distil as the dew: ‘Distil is from the Hebrew Nazal meaning- to drip or to pour forth with great abundance. Dew is tal in Hebrew- meaning- a soft covering’ Small Rain is (saw-eer) upon the TENDER HERB: ‘Showering health to the growth of a young sprout’ Showers upon the Grass: ‘As beneficial accumulation-with great benefit’. Therefore here is my interpretation: “My Teachings shall drop as dew from the Heaven and pour forth with great abundance. My Word shall be as the Dew, a soft covering like small raindrops, showering health upon you as a beneficial accumulation with great benefit. Because I Moshe will Publish the Name YAHVEH and ascribe greatness unto our Elohim.” Publish YHVH: Publish is from the Hebrew Kaw-raw –means: “to call out to” properly to address by Name. KJV says: pronounce, proclaim, make known, mention and say. Moses said the Name of our Creator would be spoken out loud, for the benefit of His people and to bring proper Glory TO YAHVEH’s Name. Psalms 113:1-3 the Prophet and Psalmist David Vs.1“Praise Yahveh! Praise you servants of Yahveh, Praise the name of Yahveh. Vs 2 “The name of Yahveh is to be blessed from now and forever.” Vs 3 “From the rising of the sun, to its going down; the name of Yahveh is to blessed.” Psalms 22:22 “I will declare Your Name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise You.” SO KING DAVID a man after YAHVEH’s own heart declared that the Holy Name was to be proclaimed according to the scriptures. Let’s look in to the Renewed Covenant Scriptures: Yochanan the Immerser (John the Baptiser): he’s the Prophet, forerunner and supporter, not to mention the cousin of Yeshua and this is a good place to start. John was a True Prophet of Yahveh; he was very much in opposition to the religious leaders of his day, just as Yeshua was. Their traditions, a lot being the traditions of men, they altered the True Interpretation of Yahveh’s instruction to His people through Moshe. They, as I mention earlier by historical documentation, quoting the Rabbis from the Mishnah and the Talmud. They made it unlawful and punishable by death, for anyone to pronounce the Holy Name exactly as it was written in the Holy writings. The Holy set apart Words given by Elohim Himself, His Prophets, Moses, David and all the others who declared and wrote down faithfully as they were inspired or instructed by Yahveh Himself. John’s comments to these men was that they were VIPERS, In Matthew 3:7 Speaking this even to their faces. Yochanan/John declares His Mission Found in Luke 3:3-6, Matthew 3:1-3, and Mark 1:1-3 which are quotes from Isaiah 40:3-5. Which Isaiah says: “The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of Yahveh, make straight in the desert a highway for our Elohim.” Now in the Greek it uses the title koo-ree-os- meaning Adonai (some say lord), but it’s not the name YAHVEH. But if John were quoting Isaiah, then he would have said the name: YAHVEH. Yochanan, being the True and Faithful Prophet of YAHVEH, and Best Man of our Messiah Yeshua, declared faithfully unto death the words of his Creator, following the same pattern of all the Prophets that went before him. In fact Yeshua said in Matthew 11:11 “Among them that are born of a women, there has not risen a greater than John the Baptizer: actually He would have said Yochanan the immerser…”. So Yochanan proclaimed the Name YAHVEH in his teachings, not adding to nor taking away. Yochanan says in Mat.3:11 that he immersed people in water, but there was one coming greater than him. THIS is Speaking of Yeshua; most today know Him as Jesus. NOW THE NAME JESUS 1st let’s look in Deut.18:15 Moses speaking: “YAHVEH your Elohim will raise up unto you a Prophet from the midst of you, of your brethren, like unto me; unto Him you shall listen” Psalm 22:22 and Hebrews 2:11-12 Psalm 22:22 David speaking: “I will declare Your Name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise You.” And Hebrews 2:11 & 12 “For both He that sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of one. 12) Saying, I will declare Your Name unto my brethren, in the midst of the call out ones, I will sing praise to You.” So David prophesied about Yeshua and about the writer of Hebrews reaffirms David’s writings about the Messiah and His Holy Name to the Whole House of Israel and even to the Gentiles who believed on Yeshua as the Messiah. Yeshua also was found to be faithful in declaring the Name of YAHVEH to all that would Shema/hear the good news. SO WHAT ABOUT THE NAME: JESUS? 1stwe must mention the Enemy of God’s people: haSatan-satan 1 Peter 5:8, He’s also known as the Devil Rev.12:9 He also has evil angels- Rev.12:7-9 One of HaSatan’s jobs is to sow tares among God’s people-Matthew 13:24-30 and he’s done his job Very Well, and He’s still doing it, so be careful not to let him sow tare among us. He’s also the Deceiver- Rev.20:10. Due to Satan who knew what influence the English language would have on the entire world. The Name Yahveh and Yeshua don’t appear in the translations of our English Bibles. Let’s see how the name Jesus started: A fact of history is that in the 16th century, the Letter ‘J’ was added to our English Alphabet. But before that: The Original King James Version 1611 of the Greek New Testament had our Messiah’s name as Iesu(s). The I has a Y-e sound and was pronounced as Ye-su. The Latin Iesv (from which the English word came) and still sounded as Yesu. As in the Ancient Greek ( vvvvvvvvvvv IHSOU) ( / Ihsouz ), and the ancient Hebrew uw?y. God’s Son is also Ya-su in German, Chinese, Japanese and many other languages. “The name “Jesus” is derived from the Greek name “Ieasus,” which actually means “son of Zeus.” Sadly, when people call upon the name of Jesus they are actually speaking of Greek mythology. The name Jesus is pronounced Gee-Sus. The Bible clearly reveals that salvation is available in only one name: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved,” Acts, chapter 4:12. What is found in English Bibles is a fake name. Mel Gibson was right after all.” Quote from emet ministries Here is the complete transformation Messiah’s name went through: The I which has a Y sound, was change to a J which has a G sound The E which was pronounced as A-(ah) became a strong E sound. The S which was given a Z sound. The U which had an oo sound, was given an uh sound. The S being the last letter was used to identify the masculine only and this became permanent and now is part of the name in English. You might ask: Why is the Name so Important? Elohim sent His Son so all that placed their trust In His Name could escape the coming wrath of when He returns and receive forgiveness and eternal life. I don’t know what the word Jesus means, but the name Yeshua, Yasu or Yahshua means: YAH is Salvation. Does this mean that those that got saved under the name of Jesus is lost? NO! Not at all, so let’s go on. DO WE WANT TO KNOW WHOM WE SERVE? What is His name and what is His Son’s name, if you know? YAHVEH gave the name Yeshua to a virgin woman named Miriam, we know as Mary. Also it was YAHVEH Who came down and put His self into a human body and called His own name YAH is Salvation/Yeshua, because He loved His creation so mush! Acts 4:12 states: “There is Salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved.” In Conclusion: Rabbi Sh’aul/Paul Paul followed the same pattern of faithfulness of declaring the Word of Elohim, as all the Holy Prophets and as Yeshua his Messiah did. There have been people down through the ages that have stood true to Yahveh’s will, desiring to share the real Name of our Elohim: YAHVEH and giving Him the Honor that He deserves. Psalm 104:35 HalleluYah means: “Praise Yah” PRAISE BE TO HIS GLORIOUS HOLY NAME! Awe-main!
