This page is dedicated to the
restoration of that true name which
is YAHUAH (YHUH) and his Son's name
Yah'ushua in accordance
with YHUH's prophecy, commands and words
concerning His
very name.
One of these being:
Pro 30:4 Who
has gone up to shamayim ( pw heaven) and has come down?
Who has
gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in His
garments?
Who has established all the ends of the earth? What
is His name, and what is His Son's name? Surely you know
The
Father's actual NAME is not
LORD, G-o-d or
Hashem. In fact these are pagan names or titles which replace the true
NAME
of scripture as it originally appeared in
the scriptures.
The
Creator's Name Is Not Allah
Many
Evangelical movers and
shakers are now also trying to imply that Allah is the Creator
mentioned in the bible in order to
bring more deception
and false unity with paganism (aka Ecumenism) under
direction of the chief deceiver the Pope.
First off Allah is not a name it is a generic title
just the same as in other fake religions eg Catholicism where Yahuah
has been
replaced with pagan titles Lord, LORD or God.
Allah is from the two Arabic
words AL + ILAH. "Al" means "the", "Ilah" means "God".
Thus we have the same generic big fat
zero nameless pagan title "the
God"
, thus when we ask who is this mighty one we get no answer from a
Muslim as this
counterfeit imposter has no name. In
Exodus when Pharoah
asked Moshe (Moses) who this eloha (mighty one) was that
Moshe served
Moses was able to give the specific name YAHUAH יהוה thus exclusively
differentiating Him from the myriad
of pagan mighty ones in Egypt which
are not mighty (gods) at all.
Even after this some will still
say: so
what's the big deal - surely we can call the Creator
of shamayim (pw heaven) and Earth
by any name as long as we know and
obey him? From a poll we took some years back it seemed this was the
general
consensus - that the name was not
important.
What about name calling on a
personal level? I am sure you would not
want to be called Adolf Hitler because of what
that would represent.
Or if your spouse asked you to stop calling them a monkey, would
you still call them that?
Would you insist that it does not
make any
difference? It was ironic that a lady jumped all over me, not so
long ago, on
Youtube commenting that I was
teaching nonsense
yet at the very same time she had told me she was annoyed that I had
left out a T in her name and it
really irks her when people do that.
Well there you go, correct names are important
to people so why not
to Yah'uah?
Even the secular world knows that
the Name is
required and a generic title "G-o-d" just wont do, period!
Trevor
Noah a secular stand up comedian
uses the example of the
colonialists arriving in India and asking the
so-called missionaries
what they are doing in their
country. They
reply we have come to tell you about G-o-d. They ask which G-o-d and
begin to name
some of theirs : Shiva, Ganesh...
etc.
So Yah'uah has to be named by His
name as He is the
Almighty alone and does not share His throne with pagan
titles or
names. People are afraid of His true name since Yah'uah does
not compromise the truth and commands
To'rah keeping. In fact the
producers of this Trevor Noah show removed my original Youtube clip
under the guise of
copyright yet other clips they have
not removed.
It is most likely because we
expose the truth about
the name of Yah'uah and who He is.
Let's look at the problems with a
false name or title when it comes to
standing against false religion.
Only The True Name Can Rebuke
False Religion
If
Christians want to reject the name YAH’UAH and insist on using the
pagan titles found in the corrupted
translations: “
LORD” or “God” then they have no authority
against Islam who claims that Mohammed is the last prophet that the
Quran
claims would come in
the name of “God” or the “LORD” which in Arabic is “Allah”.
However “Allah”,
the “LORD” and
“God” all do not refer to
the NAME of the creator Yah’uah.
Thus none of them have the
authority of Moses’ prophesy. NONE of them are to be listened to!!!
So
Christians using that fake name cannot rebuke Islam and vice versa.
Only those who accept the true name of
Elohim can show who the true
prophet / Mashiak ( pw Messiah) is.
The ONLY
foretold Prophet that can be listened to as instructed by Moses
is YAH’USHUA who
1)bears
the NAME
of his Father which is YAH’UAH, meaning YAH(UAH) saves, redeems,
heals, avenges, delivers etc etc
2) comes in the
NAME of YAH’UAH.
Deu
18:19 And it
shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which
he (Yahushua)
shall
speak IN MY NAME I will require it of him.
When
Moses appeared before Pharoah he spoke in the NAME OF YAH'UAH, NOT
ALLAH, NOT LORD, NOT GOD.
Not only are GOD
and LORD fake they are not names they are mere generic titles.
Shimon
(Peter) re-iterated and confirmed, after Yahushua’s death and
resurrection that Yah’ushua was
that very
one spoken of in Deuteronomy, not Mohammed.
Act
3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall YHUH your
Elohim raise up unto you of your
brethren, like unto me; him shall ye
hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
Now some will still say "but does
it matter what name or title
we use, it's about our heart right and Yah'uah knows our heart."
Well exactly, he
knows when your heart is rebellious! Remember that rebellion towards
Yah'uah is regarded as witchcraft.
1Sa
15:23
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as
iniquity and idolatry. Because thou
hast rejected the word
of YAHUAH
יהוה ,
he hath also rejected thee from being king.
If Yah'uah commands you to do this
and you do that, then your
heart is rebellious. Ignorance
concerning His name can be
forgiven as
long as one is not willingly ignorant and wilfully rebelling as you
would be if you continue
ignoring His proper name after
learning the
truth.
II
Peter 3: 3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days
scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying,
Where
is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all
things continue as
they were from the
beginning of the
creation. 5 For
this they willingly
are ignorantof, that by
the word of
Yahuah the shamayim (pw
heavens) were of old, and the earth
standing out
of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world
that then
was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the
shamayim (pw heavens)
and the earth, which
are now, by the same word are kept in store,
reserved unto fire against the day of
judgment and perdition
of
unYah-like (pw godly) men.
Wilful
ignorance is no excuse.
Yahuah
says:
surely
you know My name and My Son's
name. (Proverbs 30:4)
It
should not, and cannot be a secret if you wilfully seek the truth and
have the scriptures at hand.
You
have
no excuse as a believer after reading this.
Judaism And "The Name" - Is It
Ineffable
How can we just refer to Him as
The Name (Hashem)? This
is what evil Judaism has enforced by its own command from rabbis and not
according to the scriptures (To'rah). The father has not instructed any
such command.
They cannot utter his name YAH'UAH
(as depicted here in
ancient Hebrew letters) Why?
Perhaps those who cannot and will
not
utter his name are those evil ones found in this very revealing
prophecy by Amos.
Read carefully :
Amos 1 Woe to them that are at
ease in Zion, and trust in
the mountain of Samaria, which are
named chief of the nations, to
whom
the house of Israel came! 2 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see;
and from
thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the
Philistines: be they better
than these kingdoms? or their
border
greater than your border? 3 Ye that put far away the evil day
, and
cause the seat of violence to come near; 4 That lie upon beds of ivory,
and stretch themselves
upon their couches, and eat the
lambs out of the
flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall; 5
That chant to
the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick,
like David; 6
That drink wine in bowls, and
anoint themselves with the
chief ointments: but they are not grieved
for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive,
and
the banquet of them that stretched
themselves shall be removed. 8
The Sovereign יהוה hath sworn
by himself, saith יהוה the Elohim
of
hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces:
therefore
will I deliver up the city with all that is therein. 9 And it shall
come to pass, if there remain
ten men in one house, that they
shall
die. 10 And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth
him,
to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is
by the sides of the house,
Is there yet any with thee? and
he shall
say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue
for we may not
make mention of the
name of יהוה. 11
For, behold, יהוה commandeth, and he will smite the great
house with
breaches, and the little house with clefts. 12 Shall horses run upon
the rock? will one
plow there with oxen? for ye have
turned judgment
into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into
hemlock: 13 Ye which
rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns
by
our own strength? 14 But, behold,
I will raise up against you a
nation, O house of Israel, saith
יהוה the Elohim of hosts; and
they
shall afflict you from the entering in of Hamath unto the river
of the
wilderness.
You
will notice
that there is a connection to Samaria (v1)- which is
where the false religion of Simon Magus
originates, the root of
bitterness of gall which is a saying for idolatry.
Today
you will
notice that secular Zion appears to be at a false ease due to the
false Zionism which does not utter
Yahuah's
name. We see that Amos
foreshadows Yahuah's punishment manifested upon these who make vain the
commands
of Yahuah; they do not utter his name Yahuah.
So it becomes clear that those who are in idolatry will not
utter his
name and thus bring his name to naught inthis
way.
But Yah'uah has
said:
Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not
take the name of יהוה thy Elohim in vain*; for יהוה will not
hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
But how would we
know whose name we should not take in vain in the first place if his
name were ineffible here? It would read
Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not
take the name of the Name thy Elohim in vain; for the Name will not
hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Whose name would it
be?
The
word "vain" here means bringing Yahuah's name to naught, in other words
a
meaningless, big fat zero! Is that not what you are doing when you
refuse to use his name Yahuah altogether? You are making it
meaningless, nameless, vain, of no effect.
Have we not
shown already that his
name is in vain against false religion such as Islam when it is turned
into a pagan title LORD or God so that it can be used to represent any
pagan mighty one? IS THAT NOT VAIN!?
Paganism is at the root of
making Yah'uah's name ineffable and
replacing it with pagan titles (God and Lord) for that very reason to
make it appear to be of none effect- vain.
Lev
24:16 Whoever blasphemes* the name of Yahuah יהוה shall surely be
put to death. All the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as
well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
נָקַב*
nâqab
naw-kab'
A primitive root; to puncture, literally (to perforate, with more or
less violence) or figuratively (to specify, designate, libel): -
appoint, blaspheme, bore, curse, express, with holes, name, pierce,
strike through.
Note the definition "strike through". In English we have
the strike through which would look like this: Yahuah יהוה
We can
thus conclude that blasphemy includes deleting Yahuah's name which the
translators have done with the scriptures.
Not
uttering “divine”* names is something that seems to have begun in
Mitsrayim (pw Egypt) connected with their Osirian religion (from
which we get their story of Ra and Isis) Osiris’ name was said to
be ineffable. We also see the same for the Babylonian Marduk as
recorded in an inscription. The name of Yah’uah was made ineffable
shortly after Alexander. The root of the idea is magic where if one
utters a “god’s” name that god might be compelled. (Reference
Legge, Forerunners
and Rivals of Christianity,
p 37).
( *Yah'uah is not a "divinity" - a pagan
idea referring to a "sky god".
Yah'uah lives beyond the sky which he created Himself.)
Now we see that some men claim that Yauhah "commands" men to not call
on the name of Yahuah but men of Yahuah have been calling upon his name
since the patriarchs.
Gen
4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called
his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of Yahuah (יהוה)
Were they taking his name in vain then, were they transgressing Torah?
No they were making sure they called on Yahuah and Yahuah alone.
Would it make sense to say
"began men to call upon
the name of the Name (haShem)"
or for David to say
Psa 116:13 I will
take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Name
or
Psa
118:26
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Name: we have blessed you
out of the house of the Name.
Whose house would it be then? The answer
would only lie in the text as it was written ie with His very name in
plain sight.
Psa
118:26
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Yahuah: we have blessed you
out of the house of Yahuah.
Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt
not
take the name of the Name thy Elohim in vain*; for יהוה will not
hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
What about the modern "church" circe today? Are they also part of this
prophecy in Amos?
We shall answer that in our next update. You will see in the
next part below [The Corruption of the Greek Name Iesous
(Jesus) ] how this refusal to utter the Father's name
resulted in the Son's name also being corrupted.
Here we see Yah'uah's name in Modern Hebrew still YHUH,
not LORD not GOD
What
about Yah'ushua?
The Catholic anti-Hebrew
translators have done the same in our bible translations to the name of
the Son Yah'ushua since his name bears the name of the Father Yahuah
and they wanted to obliterate it. Yah'ushua bears the Yah part from the
apocope (shortened version)
of Yah'uah his Father. (It is not a contraction of Yahuah as some
claim).
Because the Greek,
Latin and many
other language influences upon the bible are languages corrupted by
their pagan cultures they are not pure languages. Hebrew /Aramaic are
the pure
and original language of the bible. Even the Renewed Covenant, falsely
called the New Testament had the Yahudath language (mistakenly called
Hebrew) as already discovered by the use of
the many Semitisms / Hebraisms seen directly translated into the Greek.
Yahudath (pw Hebrew) however was also influenced when Israel was in
captivity in Babylon for example and she began to take on her pagan
ways. The scribes began to be corrupted. However we are told that the
pure language shall be restored. It is clear that the pure language is
important to Yahuah in relation to his people calling him by his
correct name.
Zeph 3:9 "For then will I restore to the
peoples a pure
language,
that they all may call on the Name of Yahuah, to serve Him with one
accord,"
So anyone who
tries to say it
does not matter what language or name we use is in direct
opposition to Yahuah's prophecy, command and will. They do not realise
that their King James declares the names of gods and godesses simply in
its use of English namely Faith,Grace, Liberty, Charity, Easter
(Eostre) etc. Thus by using English we do not honour the
Creator when it comes to certain corrupt words.
No Iesous" Or "Jesus"
in Oldest Complete Greek New Testament!
The Catholic Church
had 1400
years to hide the original scriptures from the lay people and 1400
years to fiddle with it. Thereafter they have fiddled and corrupted
further as we see with Yah'ushua's name as recent as 400 years ago in
this video.
Background
to
Corruption of Yah'uah's Name
AH Sayce in his Religion
of the Ancient Babylonians,
pg. 4, writes, “Religion has always loved to cloak itself
in mystery, and a priesthood is notoriously averse from revealing in
plain language the secrets of which it believes itself the possessor.
The priesthood of Babylonia formed no exception to the general
rule...and the true pronounciation of divine names was carefully
hidden from the uninitiated multitude.”
(cloaking
things in christianity is pagan thus we have their later unscriptural
word invention : "chapel" - which means to cloak)
Furthermore, it is well
known that the Greeks, for a long period of time, preferred to avoid
the names of their deities, and rather called them by a title.
Usually kurios
and theos
were used.
Thus,
the un-Scriptural teaching of the rabbis, of avoiding or hiding or
masking the Name, was something which they had learnt from the
Egyptians, Greeks and Babylonians. Their decision to avoid or hide or
suppress the Name was significantly taken just after they came from
Babylonian captivity.
What
was the ultimate result, all over the world, of this decision by the
Jews to avoid or hide or suppress the Name?
Just this: In all the
countries of the world, the Name was replaced by a title which was
previously used for a pagan deity of that particular pagan country.
In many cases we find that the proper name of the local pagan deity
was adopted to stand for the Name of Yahuah. In the Polish
translation of the Scriptures Pan
Bog
was, and still is, used as a false rendering for Yahuah Elohim. Both
Pan
and Bog
were pagan deities !!
This
shocking syncretism, identifying our Mighty One with a pagan deity,
in fact, the paganization of our Mighty One, happened in the same way
as many centuries ago, in defiance of the clear commands of Yahuah
which instruct us that the names of pagan deities must be destroyed,
not used! (Deut 12:3) “And do not mention the name of other mighty
ones, nor let them be heard from your mouth”. (Exod 23:13 NASB).
FEEBLE EXCUSES
Female Name?
There are many false excuses out on the internet for the name
of
Yah'ushua being changed to
"Jesus" and these include the fact that a name Yah'ushua ending in "ah"
sound in Greek is a
female name thus the change to "sus" at the end thus the Jesus
invention.
This
is a feeble excuse since the Graeco-Romans had no trouble with the name
Caligula, a newly created nick name for the Roman emperor. Thus a
male name
has
an invention ending with "ah" sound in this case without any problem
even for their emperor!
We
also see that the name of Yah'uah was changed and it was not because of
any problems relating to gender but rather a blatant change that was to
take place to simply make his name void and into that empty space each
pagan could insert his own pagan god's name. How convenient. It
is no
different for Messiah's name.
Many Names?
Another excuse is that Yah'uah has many names so does it
really matter
what name is used since which one really stands out?
Isa
42:8 “I am יהוה (YHUH- Yah'uah), that is My Name,
and My esteem I do not give to another, nor My praise to
idols.
While
Yah'uah has many descriptive titles he has one true name and he has
said so. Having many descriptive names in the bible does not entitle
one to invent new ones or use pagan ones.
Psa
83:18 And let them know that You, Whose Name is יהוה, You
alone are the Most High over all the earth.
What About the Apostles And
The True Name?
Fossilized Customs – The Pagan
Origins of Popular Customs (10th
Ed) by Lew White on pg. 94 states:
“The
Yahudim were hoping for the Mashiach to come, and Rabbi Yahushua was
not going about telling anyone He was – but rather kept that an inside
secret. The only thing He did that caused the law teachers and priests
to pick up stones to kill Him was what they called “blasphemy”. It was
against their law to say the Name of Yahuah – ad the penalty was death.
This is not usually mentioned by the merchant preachers, because people
would naturally start to search it out, and the “key of knowledge”
would be widespread. The Name Yahushua contains the Name of the Father,
so even His name was a problem for them. The name “Yeshua” means
salvation and was a rather common name at the time; however: ”Yahushua”
means Yah is our salvation, and had the Name being clearly heard by all.
Paul
explains how he fought against those who were found in the synagogues
that proclaimed Yahuah. At Acts 26:9-11, Paul explains:
“I truly thought with myself, that I
ought to do many things contrary
to the name of the Mashiach of Nazareth.
Act
26:10 And this I also did in Jerusalem: and I both shut up many of the
saints in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and
WHEN THEY WERE PUT TO DEATH, I GAVE MY VOTE AGAINST THEM.
Act
26:11 And punishing them constantly in the synagogues, I STROVE TO MAKE
THEM BLASPHEME; and being exceedingly mad against them, I
persecuted them even to foreign cities.”
They weren’t
being killed for any other reason than that they were going against the
“law” of pronouncing the Name. After “Shaul” was knocked down on his
way to Damascus, and encountered the risen Yahushua, he began to
pronounce the Name, and did what he had watched others die for! This is
no small sideline issue, but is really central to what the entire Brit
Chadasha reveals to us. After Shaul was immersed by Ananias, (who was
himself very afraid at first when he learned he was to be visited by
the infamous Shaul), he took the name of “Paulos”. The name “Shaul” and
his reputation was terrifying to the Nazarenes, and you can well
understand why. For some time Nazarenes were still afraid and
distrustful of Paul:
“Acts
9:21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that
destroyed them which called on this Name in Jerusalem, and came hither
for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?”
Yes,
pronouncing the Name was a REALLY big deal. Paul was nabbed by the
Yahudim of Achaia, and they wanted him dead so much that they rushed to
the Roman proconsul Gallio. Gallio, no doubt a pagan, must have thought
they were crazy when he heard the reason they were so murderously
enraged, and he said:
“If
indeed it was an act of injustice or reckless evil, O Yahudim,
according to REASON I would bear with you; BUT if it be a question
concerning a WORD, or NAMES, and that law which is among YOU, see you
to it; for I will be no judge THESE things.” (Acts 18:14,15)
Paul
had to be locked up to protect him. He claims he was stoned on several
occasions over pronouncing the Name.
Men had sworn oaths to see Paul dead before they would eat again. Paul
had to hide, and sneak out of the city in a basket. How many Christians
really know why Paul was imprisoned? Now you know. Believe it or not,
there is quite a bit of “shunning” against those of us who use the
Name, even among Messianics who observe the appointed times.”
Like
so many mistakes and deliberate corruptions in modern translations of
the
scriptures over the years the Father's name
and his Son's name have
been polluted by pagan influences whether intentionally or
ignorantly and passed down through
the ages.
King James Declares Yahuah's Name:
Any resistance to the Yahudath (Hebrew language) and the name
Yahuah from a so-called English standpoint is clearly unjustified
and pure ignorance since the the Tetragrammaton יהוה (YHUH)
is seen just above the dove at the top of the
page in the first edition of the Kings James Bible front page.
Let us revive and restore the
truth of His PURE name and
call Yahuah by
His pure name as commanded.
Lift Up His Name
The Father commands that
his name
is to be lifted up. This is the Creator, the all consuming fire, we
are talking about. Perhaps people have lost their fear or reverence
for the All Mighty. Now we do know that false teachers tell us that
we do not need to keep the commandments to remain justified so
perhaps that is why they believe they can call the Creator whatever
they like. He however says otherwise:
Exo
23:13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and
make no mention of the name of other mighty ones (gods), neither let
it be heard out of thy mouth.
Jos
23:7 That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among
you; neither make mention of the name of their gods (mighty ones),
nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves
unto them
Deut
18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my
name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or
that shall speak in the name of other gods (mighty ones), even that
prophet shall die.
Lev
19:12 And all of you shall not swear by my name falsely, neither
shall you profane the name of your Elohim* : I am ** יהוה(YHUH,
Yahuah)
*
not
God as your corrupted bible may have written
**
not L-O-R-D as your corrupted bible may have written
Even just before
the time of Yahshua we see the name of the Father still being written
as יהו (YHUH - Yahuah) in Hebrew as in this stele found in Israel
and dated to around 1 BC. (this is a replica which has the text made
clearer). The original stone is at the Museum in Israel. It is NOT LORD
or Adonai or Hashem but it is Yahuah יהוה and that is the name we
declare.
Background to
Corruption of Yah'ushua's Name
Let's get a background on the corrupted name of the
Son from this article. It is from the book Come out of Her
My people by C.J. Koster, with minor editing by PierreRock
Eksteen with further additions and editing by ourselves.
The Corruption of
the Greek Name Iesous
(Jesus)
Many Hebrew
names of
the Old Testament prophets have been "Hellenised" when
these names were rewritten
in the
Greek New Testament. Thus, Isaiah became Isaias,
Elisha became Elissaios or Elisseus (Eliseus),and Elijah became
Helias in the Greek New Testament. The King James
Version has retained some of these Hellenised names.
Since the King James Version was published, the newer English
versions have ignored these Hellenised names of the Greek New
Testament, and have preferred, quite correctly, to render them as
they are found in the Hebrew Old Testament. Incidentally, the
similarity between the Hellenised Helias (instead of
Elijah) and the Greek Sun-deity Helios, gave rise to
the well-known assimilation of these two by the Church. Dr.
A.B. Cook, in his book, Zeus - A Study in Ancient Religion, vol. I p.
178 - 179, elaborates on this, quoting the comments
of a 5th century Christian poet and others, on this. Imagine it, Elijah
identified with Helios, the Greek
Sun-deity! Returning to our discussion on the
reluctance
of the
translators to persist with all of the Hellenised names in the Greek
of the New Testament, one could very well ask: But why
did they persist with the Hellenised Iesous of Messiah’s Name, and
its further Latinised form Iesus? It is accepted by
many that His Hebrew name was Yah'ushua (meaning
Yahuh-ah, The Father, sha (saves) through The
Son [Mat
1:21]). So why did the translators of
the scriptures not restore it, as they
did with the names of the Hebrew prophets? It is
generally agreed that our successor to Moses, was Joshua. The Greeks
substituted the Old Testament "Yehoshua" with Iesous, the
same word they used for Yah'ushua (true name of Messiah) in the New
Testament. Subsequently the Latin’s came and
substituted it with Josue (Iosue) in the Old
Testament (which became Josua in German and
Joshua in English), but used
Iesus in
the New Testament.
Two factors contributed
greatly to the
substitution and distortion of Yah'ushua's name. The first was the un-Scriptural
superstitious teaching of the Jews
that
the Father's Name is not to be uttered, that it is ineffable, that
others will profane it when they use it, and that the
Name must be "disguised" outside of the temple of
Jerusalem. Because of the Father's
name being in His Son's Name, this same disastrous suppression of the
Name resulted in them (The Greeks) giving a Hellenised, in fact a
surrogate name for Yah'ushua. He did warn us in Joh
5:43, "I have come in My Father's
Name . . . if another comes in his own
name, him you will receive." The second factor
was a strong anti-Jewish “culture” that prevailed
amongst the Gentiles, as we have already pointed out.
The Gentiles wanted a saviour, but not a Jewish one. They loathed the
Jews, they even loathed the The Mighty One of the Old Testament.
Thus, a Hellenised Saviour was preferred. The
Hellenised theological school at Alexandria,
led by the syncretising, allegorising, philosophising, Gnostic-indoctrinated
Clement and Origen,
was the place where everything started to become distorted and
adapted to suit the Gentiles. The
Messianic Faith, and its Saviour, had to become Hellenised to be
acceptable to the Gentiles.
Where did the Greek
name “Iesous”
and Latin name “Iesus” come from?
In Bux and
Schone, Worterbuch der
Antike, under "Jesus", we read, "JESUS:
really named Jehoshua. Iesous (Greek), Iesus (Latin) is adapted from
the Greek, possibly from the name of a Greek healing
goddess Ieso (Iaso)." Like all authoritative
sources, this dictionary admits to the real true name of Yah'ushua.
It then states, as most others, that the commonly known substitute,
non-original, non-real name "Jesus" was adapted from the
Greek. We must remember that Yah'ushua
was born from a Hebrew virgin, not from a Greek one. His stepfather,
His half-brothers and half-sisters, in fact all His people, were all
Hebrews. Furthermore, this dictionary then traces the substitute
name back to the Latin Iesus, and the
Greek
Iesous. It then traces the origin of
the name Iesous back as being possibly adapted from the Greek healing
goddess Ieso (Iaso). To the uniformed I would like to
point out that Iaso is the usual Greek form, while Ieso is from the
Ionic dialect of the Greeks. This startling discovery, the connection
between Ieso (Iaso) and Iesous, is also revealed to
us by the large unabridged edition of Liddell and
Scott, Greek-English Lexicon, p. 816, under "Iaso".
The third witness comes to
us in a very
scholarly article by Hans Lamer in Philologische
Wochenschrift, No. 25, 21 June 1930, pp. 763- 765. In
this article the author recalls the fact of Ieso being
the Ionic Greek goddess of healing. Hans Lamer then
postulates, because of all the evidence, that "they changed
Ieso into a regular masculine Iesous. This was even
more welcome to the Greeks who
converted to Christianity." He then continues, "If the
above is true, then the name of our “Lord” which we commonly use
goes back to a long lost form of the name of a Greek
goddess of healing. But to Greeks who venerated a
healing goddess Ieso, a saviour Iesous must have been most
acceptable. The Hellenisation was thus rather clever." This then
is the evidence of three sourced who, like us, do not hide the fact
of the Greek name Iesous being related to the Greek
goddess of healing. The Hellenisation of Yah'ushua's Name was indeed
most cleverly done.
To repeat Yah'ushua's
words of
warning in Joh 5:43,
"I have come in My Father's Name and
you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will
receive." There is no resemblance or
identifiability between the Name, Yah'ushua, and the Greek substitute
for it, Iesous. The Father's Name,
“Yahu-ah”, cannot be seen in the Greek Iesous or in the Latin
Iesus, neither in the German Jesus, nor in the English Jesus. President
Reagan's name remains
the
same in all languages. Hitler's name remains the same
in all languages. Even satan has seen to it that all nations know him
by his name: satan. satan has seen to it that his own name has been
left unmolested!
However, let us further
investigate the names
Ieso (Iaso) and Iesous. According to ancient Greek religion, Apollo,
their great Sun-deity, had a son by the name
of Asclepius, the deity of healing,
but also identified with the Sun. This Asclepius
had daughters, and one of them was
Iaso
(Ieso), the Greek goddess of healing.
Because of her father's and grandfather's identities as Sun-deities,
she too is in the same family of Sun-deities. Therefore, the name
Iesous, which is possibly derived from Ieso,
can be traced back to Sun-worship. We
find other related names, all of them variants of the same name, Iasus,
Iasion, Iasius, in
ancient
Greek religion, as being sons of Zeus.
Even in India we find a similar name Issa or Issi, as
surnames for their deity Shiva. Quite a few scholars
have remarked on the similarity between the names of
the Indian Issa or Issi, the Egyptian Isis and the Greek Iaso. In
our research on the deity Isis we made two startling discoveries. The
one was that the son of Isis was
called Isu by some. However, the
second discovery yielded even further light: The learned scholar of
Egyptian religion, Hans Bonnet, reveals to us in his
Reallexikon der Agyptischen Religionsgeschichte, p. 326,
that the name of Isis appears in the hieroglyphic
inscriptions as ESU
or ES. No wonder it has
been remarked, "Between Isis and Jesus as
names confusion could arise." This Isis also had
a child, which was called Isu by some. This Isu
and Esu sound exactly like the "Jesu"
that we find the Redeemer called in the translated Scriptures of many
languages, e.g. many African languages. Rev. Alexander Hislop, The
Two Babylons, p. 164, also remarked on the similarity
of Jesus and Isis, "IHS - Iesus Hominum Salvator
- But let a Roman worshipper of Isis (for in the age of the emperors
there were innumerable worshippers of Isis in Rome) cast his eyes
upon them, and how will he read them, or course, according to his own
well-known system of idolatry: Isis, Horus, Seb."
He then continues with a similar example of "skilful planning"
by "the very same spirit that converted the festival
of the Pagan Oannes is not the feast of the Christians Joannes."
(The Hebrew name of the baptizer, and that of the apostle as well,
was Yochanan or Yohanan).
Thus, by supplanting
the Name of
Yah'ushua with that of the Hellenised Iesous (in
capitals: IHSOUS), which became the Latinised Iesus,
it was easy to make the pagans feel welcome - those
pagans who worshipped the Greek Ieso (Iaso), of which he masculine
counterpart is Iesous (in capitals: IHSOUS), as well
as those who worshipped the Egyptian Esu (Isis). Further
evidence of syncretism withe the
Isis-system
is found in A. Kircher, Oedipus Aegypticus,
wherein the name of the son of Isis is revealed to us
as "Iessus, which signifies Issa, whom they also called Christ
in Greek."
Another pagan
group of
worshippers could also be made to feel at home with the introduction
of this surrogate name Iesous (IHSOUS) or Iesus,
namely the worshippers of Esus. Jan
de Vries hold that Esus was a Gallic
deity comparable to the Scandinavian Odin. Odin, of
course, was the Scandinavian Sky-deity.
This Gallic
or Celtic deity,
Esus, has also been identified with Mars, and by
others with Mercury, and was regarded
to by the special deity of Paris. Just as Iaso, Ieso, Iesous are
derived from the Greek word for healing, Iasis, we similarly find Isis
(more correctly: Esu) and her son Horus
(more
correctly: Her), regarded as deities of healing as well as cosmic
deities, or Sun deities, by others.
The most disturbing evidence
is yet to follow.
The abbreviated form of the name Iesous is: Ies or in capitals: IHS,
or in Greek the capital for "e" id "H". This is
to be found on many inscriptions made by the Church during the dark
Middle Ages. This fact is also well documented and is generally
admitted by scholarly sources and ordinary English dictionaries.
These dictionaries bear witness to the fact if IHS (Ies) being an
abbreviated form of IHSOUS (Iesous). Furthermore, the shocking fact
has also been recorded for us that IHS was a mystery
surname of Bacchus, and was afterwards taken
as initials for Iesous, capitals: IHSOUS. We
discovered this in a dictionary of mythology and in an
encyclopaedia of religion. This revelation was
confirmed by a third witness, Dr. E.W. Bullinger, The
Apocalypse, footnote p. 396, "Whatever meanings
of ... IHS may be given, the fact remains that it was part of the
name of Bacchus ..." We then realised, most painfully, that our beloved
Messiah was identified with the Greek
deity
Bacchus, by giving Yah'ushua the
surname or other name of Bacchus, namely: IHS or Ies!
Bacchus was well known to be a Sun-deity.
Bacchus was also a commonly known name for Tammuz among
classical writers. Tammuz, as you will
remember, was known to be the young returning Sun-deity,
returning in spring. Bacchus, also known as Dionysus,
was expressly identified with the Egyptian Osiris,
the well-known Egyptian Sun-deity. Bacchus was also
called Ichthus, the Fish. So, yet another group, the
worshippers of Bacchus, the Sun-deity, alias Ies (IHS), were
conciliated, were made welcome, with the foreign-to-the-Hebrew name
of Iesous (IHSOUS) or Iesus. This most appalling revelation startled
us, indeed. After being enlightened about the solar
origin of the word IHS and its fuller form IHSOUS (Iesous),
we are no longer surprised to find the ecclesiastical
emblem, IHS, encircled by sunrays, commonly displayed on church
windows.
No wonder that we read the
testimony of the
learned Christian advocate, M. Turretin, in describing
the state of Christianity in the 4th century, saying
"that it was not so much the (Roman) Empire that was brought
over to the Faith, as the Faith that was brought over
to the Empire; not the Pagans who were converted to Christianity, but
Christianity that was converted to Paganism." A
further witness to this paganisation of the Messianic Faith is that
of emperor Hadrian, who, in a letter
to the Consul Servianus, wrote, "There are there
(in Egypt) Christians who worship Serapis; and
devoted to Serapis are those who call themselves 'Bishops of
Christ.'" Another testimony comes to us from the letter
of Faustus, writing to Augustine, "You have substituted
your love-feasts for the sacrifices
of the
Pagans; for their idols your martyrs,
whom you serve with the very
same
honours. You appease the shades of the dead with wine and feasts; you celebrate
the solemn festivals of the Gentiles,
their
calends, and their solstices; and as to their
manners, those you have retained without any alteration. Nothing
distinguishes you from the Pagans, except that you hold your
assemblies apart from them."
Note this pagan
Augustine is held in high
regard by the modern pagan Christian Church today as a Church
Father.
Yah'ushua, in His final
message to us, the book
of Revelation, has warned us of this
in Rev 17, Rev 18, Rev 19, and also in Rev 13, Rev 14,
and Rev 16 – Babylon, Mystery
Babylon. The Great Harlot has made
"the inhabitants of the earth drunk with the wine of her
fornication," out of the "golden cup"
in her hand, "full of abominations and the filthiness of her
fornication," Rev 17:1-5. She is
also described as "sitting on a scarlet beast,
full of names of blasphemy,"
verse 3. Tammuz, alias Bacchus, had a surname: Ies or
IHS. He was also known as the fish (Ichthus), and had the Tau, the
cross, as his sign. These three pagan things have survived, and are
still with us!
In Acts 4:12
we
read, "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no
other name under heaven given among men by which we
must be saved." This verse clearly tells us that there is only
one Name whereby we can be saved - there is none other.
It cannot be Yah'ushua as well as Jesus, Iesous, Iesus, or Ies
(Bacchus). There is no resemblance between the names
of Yah'ushua and Jesus AT ALL. The one is correct and
the other one a substitute. The one contains our
Father's Name and the other one not. Yah'ushua has
said that He came in His Father's name, Joh 5:43.
In the newer translations of
the Scriptures, we
read in two places, Joh 17:11 and 12 that
Yah'ushua said that His Father's Name was given to
Him. If we believe the Scriptures,
if we believe our Messiah, if we believe
what Peter said in Acts 4:12,
we cannot be satisfied with any substitute name.
We must believe,
accept, and be
baptized into the only saving Name: Yah'ushua. In the
end-time, according to Joel 2:32,
calling on the Name of Yahuah will be necessary for
salvation and deliverance.
By
believing on, calling
on, and being baptized in the Name of Yah'ushua, we
do "call on the Name of Yahuah ", through His Son, "Who
had His Father's Name given to Him, by His Father. "I
have come in My Father's
Name, and you do not
receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive," Joh 5:43.
The writer of Proverbs challenges us in
Prov
30:4,
"What is His Name,
and what is His Son's
Name, if thou canst
tell?" KJV.
A very interesting alternate
rendering for Psalm
72:17 is given to us in the centre column of the
Reference King James Version, speaking about he promised Messiah,
"His Name shall be as a Son to continue His
Father's Name for ever."
As I have stated, there is no
resemblance between the Name Yah'ushua and the name Jesus.
Neither is there any resemblance between their
meanings. Yah'ushua means:
“Yahuah The Father saves
(through The Son)”
or "the Salvation of Yahu-ah".
"Jesus" is derived from
Iesus, derived
from Iesous (IHSOUS) derived, most probably, from the Greek goddess
of healing, Ieso or Iaso. Her name was derived from Iasis ,which
means "healing". Further, the short form, or original
source of the name Iesous (IHSOUS) is Ies (IHS), the very surname of Bacchus,
the Sun-deity.
Therefore, the
two names differ completely in their origin, and in their meaning.
And more important: Yah'ushua's name contains the Name of His Father,
which the substitute name does not. Further proof of the Father's
Name being in the Son's Name is found in Eph
3:14-15, "For this reason I bow my knees to the
Father ... from Whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named." Surely,
if His family received His Name; His
only
begotten Son will also have His Name.
Another proof is Rev
14:1,
but this should be read in the newer translations, because the King
James Version and the Revised Authorised Version have it both wrong.
Rev 14:1-5, in the NASB reads, "And I looked, and behold, the
Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and
forty-four thousand, having His Name and the Name of
His Father written on their foreheads ... These are
the ones who have not been defiled ...
These are the ones who follow the Lamb where ever He goes. These have
been purchased ... as first fruits ... And no lie was found in their
mouth; they are blameless." The translators of the King James
version must have realised the meaning of this passage in Rev 14:1,
namely, the similarity between the Lamb's Name and His
Father's Name. Therefore they took the freedom, even
if wrongfully, to omit the words "His Name and". The
King James Version
therefore only
speaks about the Father's Name, while the Greek Text reads, "having
His Name and the Name of His Father written on their foreheads." Do
we wish to be part of this first fruit
company?
Then we are to make quite certain that we have the
Father's Name and the Lamb's Name on (or in) our Foreheads. The
similarity between their Names is obvious. Whether it will be just
one Name, Yah, or whether it will be both Yahuah and Yah'ushua, is
not clearly indicated, and is less important - as long as we have the
essential part of the Name, Yah, which transmits its etymological
concept of life, everlasting life. Verses 4-5 warn us against
defilement, spiritual defilement - the
lies that we have inherited,
including
the lies about the Names. "O
Yahuah, ... the Gentile shall come to You from the ends of the earth
and say, 'Surely our fathers have inherited lies ...' Therefore
behold, I will this once cause them to know ... ; and they shall know
My Name is Yahuah," Jer 16:19-21,
a prophecy for the end-time.
"Therefore My
people shall
know My Name," Isa 52:6.
"I will bring the one-third through the fire, will refine
them as silver is refined, and test them as gold
is tested. They will call on My Name, and I will
answer them. I will say, 'This is My people'; and each one will say,
'Yahuah is my Mighty One,'" Zech 13:9.
"For then will I restore to the peoples a pure
language, that they all may call on the Name of
Yahuah, to serve Him with one accord," Zeph 3:9.
"And Yahuah shall be King over all the earth. In that day it
shall be - 'Yahuah is one,' and His Name one," Zech
14:9. He will no longer be called by
all those hundreds of names, by which He is known
today. His Name will be "one". And His
Son, in Whose Name the Father's Name is
contained,
will subject Himself to His Father in that day, 1 Cor
15:28."
A teaching exists which says that
Yahushua (pw Jesus) did not use the name Yahuah
in his day. These include the Church of God founded by the late Herbert
Armstrong who correctly taught to keep the sabbath but taught heresy
such as "Jesus is God" (see Why Jesus is Not God / Why Yah'ushua is not Elohim).
Armstrong used the argument that Yahuah's name was ineffable when
Yahushua was on the scene and he would have been put to death for
blasphemy right away.
We know Yahushua was indeed eventually
put to death for so-called
"blasphemy" so this is no proof at all but rather proof that he did
proclaim the name and it was only a matter of time before they could
arrest him without a revolt as he had a large following in the
beginning. This false teaching only serves to support the newly
invented pagan titles of "Lord"and "God" to corrupt and make void the
name of Yahuah which is commanded to be proclaimed in the world.
So what does Yah'ushua say himself: He
says that he has
declared and manifested the NAME of
Elohim, not a pagan TITLE "God" which falls short relating to
"almighty" a generic title. It is very important that you get this into
your head before you continue. Yahushua both declared (spoke out) and
manifested, demonstrated the authority of the name Yahuah with
miracles. There is a huge difference between a title and a name.
Remember that Pharoah needed a name, asking who is this mighty one so
he could identify him with the coming plagues that Moses warned
of. So the name proclaimed would be attached to the
manifiestation of that name.
Name Manifested by Mashiak:
Joh
17:6 I have manifested
thy name unto
the men which thou
gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me;
and they have kept thy word.
Name Declared by Mashiak:
Joh 17:26 And I have declared unto them thy
name, and
will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast
loved me may be in
them, and I in them.
I love the way Yahushua says he has declared the name of
Yahuah in the past and will not stop declaring it even though he knows
they will put him to death (partly for declaring it) he will be raised
to life again by His father Yahuah for obeying him in that very
thing - declaring His name Yahuah.
Heb 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name
unto my
brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I sing praise
unto
thee
Now let's see an example where Yahushua uses
the name Yahuah. This
is now the KJV as it stands save for my one addition in brackets.
Mat 22:34 But
when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence,
they were gathered together. Mat 22:35
Then one of them, which was a lawyer (Greek:nomikos -expert in Moses's
law), asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Mat 22:36
Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Mat 22:37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mat 22:38
This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself. Mat 22:40 On
these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Okay, so we did not see the name here.
Let's move on then. Prior to this question the Saducees had asked
Yahushua about his doctrine concerning the resurrection. The Saducee
sect did not believe in the resurrection contrary to the
Pharisees and tried to use a technicality involving marriage on earth
to try and discredit the resurrection idea. This is the KJV with my
corrections of the pagan words in brackets.
Mat 22:23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say
that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
Mat 22:24 Saying, Master (pw Lord), Moses said, If a man die,
having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed
unto his brother.
Mat 22:25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first,
when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his
wife unto his brother:
Mat 22:26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the
seventh.
Mat 22:27 And last of all the woman died also.
Mat 22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be
of the seven? for they all had her.
Mat 22:29 Yah'ushua (pw Jesus) answered and said unto them, Ye do
err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of Elohim (pw God).
Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are
given in marriage, but are as the malakim (pw angels) of Elohim (pw
God) in shamayim (pw heaven).
Mat 22:31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye
not read that which was spoken unto you by Elohim (pw God), saying,
Mat 22:32 I am the Elohim (pw God) of Abraham, and the Elohim (pw
God) of Isaac, and the Elohim (pw God) of Jacob? Elohim (pw God) is not
the Elohim (pw God) of the dead, but of the living.
Mat 22:33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished
at his doctrine.
We notice that Yahushua not only defends
the resurrection but refers to Elohim (Almighty) of Isaac, Jacob and
Abraham.
This astonishes the multitude as they probably thought Yahushua was
starting a new religion under another mighty one (pw god) but they can
associate with this Elohim who he says is a living Elohim of the
patriarchs. This then makes the Pharisees question further. Notice how
the expert in Moses's law tries
to tempt Yahushua (vs 35). But what exactly is the temptation here?
Well, the temptation is surely to transgress the law, but what law? Is
it the law of Moses or the law of the Pharisees? We believe it is the
law of the Pharisees which they invented (takanot), the so-called
blasphemy to utter the name of Yahuah? They know the text in
Deuteronomy and
they know Yahuah's name is there. Will Yahushua submit to the law of
Yahuah or to the law of the Pharisees? Will he utter the name as Yahuah
has commanded or will he hide it. If he hides the name it could be said
that his religion is referring to another generic mighty
one, a pagan "god". If he says Yahuah it shows he does not submit to
the authority of man and obeys Yahuah with all his heart... as the text
itself commands. But now we get the answer as to what Yahushua says
distorted in the KJV. Let's go back to it:
Mat 22:37
Yahushua (pw Jesus)
said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mat 22:38
This is the first and great commandment.
The KJV completely distorts the response
of Yahushua and thus the explanation of the "temptation" spoken of in
verse 35falls flat.So what does Deuteronomy, from
which Yahushua quotes, actually say in the KJV:
Deu 6:5 And thou
shalt love the LORD
thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
might.
Notice here the KJV is consistent with the
use of "LORD" in upper case being used for the tetragramaton יהוה which
is correctly YAHUAH and not
Lord (Master).
It is highly suspicious as to why the KJV would corrupt the meaning
specifically here. It is as though they are trying to make Yahushua
submit to the Pharisees and say:
"Thou shalt love the
Lord / Master your Elohim"
as if he were afraid to utter the
Father's name YAHUAH יהוה .
Their diabolical plan is exposed since we know that Yahushua is quoting
from the text of Moses's law which explicitly refers to the name
YAHUAH (LORD יהוה) not a pagan title Lord (Master).
Recent Archeological evidence furhter
proves the use of the name YAHUAH יהוה in 2000 year old Greek
fragments of the bible found in Israel's Cave of Horror. The Greek text
is careful to use the Hebrew name YAHUAH יהוה unlike our corrupted King
James bibles and other modern English bible translations.
Conclusion
We have seen the Apostles using the true
name. Yahushua has himself said he has declared and manifested the name
of Yahuah. We have evidence of him doing so. He quotes Deuteronomy
uttering the so-called ineffable name. He do so despite the threat of
so-called blasphemy. Thus NO MAN can say he loves Yahuah in heart or
deed if he is not referring to Yahuah. Any other name is blasphemyand
Yahushua did not fall into that temptation.
