.WHAT IS HIS NAME?
(Surely you know it!)
A very interesting riddle is found in Proverbs Chapter 30, Verse 4.
Who hath gone up to the heavens and come down?
Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
Who hath bound the waters in a garment?
Who hath established all the ends of the earth?
What is His Name,
And what is His Son's Name,1
If you know it?
The Scriptures (ISR-Institute For Scripture Research)
As you ponder the above riddle, let me ask you another question.
When the Messiah walked the face of the earth nearly 2000 years ago, was His Name, Jesus, and did His family, friends, and disciples all call Him Jesus?
Most Christians will readily respond with the answer, "Well, Yes! Of course!" To which I gently reply, "I'm sorry, but that is simply not the case." I continued to inform the uninformed that the LETTER "J" did NOT exist in all of history until late in the 17th Century A.D. To which I get various answers with much disbelief. But the fact is, that any good dictionary or encyclopedia will provide you with that information.
The letter J
has a history that is linked with the history of the letter I. The Romans and their European successors used I both for the vocalic i and for the consonantal y (as in the English word yet). The English letter J did not come into existence until the end of medieval times, when scribes began to use a tailed form of i, with or without the dot, next to the short form of i (1). When printing was invented, the tailed form of i (2) was often used for an initial i, which is usually consonantal. Not until the 17th century, however, was the distinction between J or j as a consonant and I or i as a vowel fully established.2OK, so now we have it established that the letter "J" came into existence in the 17th Century so I ask again, "What was the Messiah's NAME when He walked the face of the earth?"
For that matter, "What is the Name of Almighty God?" If you say "Jehovah", I have to ask you to look at the first letter again. Doesn't Jehovah start with a "J" as well? OK, so it is not Jehovah! Then what? I'm sure your Pastor, or your Priest, or your Rabbi, or your Sunday School Teacher or your Bible Camp Counselor or your College Professor taught you what the TRUE NAME OF YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER was, RIGHT?
Sadly, so terribly sadly, very few Christians know the true NAME of the ONE they call their Heavenly Father. In fact, most Christians were baptized in the NAME OF THE FATHER, the NAME OF THE SON, and the Holy Spirit during water baptism and they still have never known either the Father's or the Son's Name.
In John 5:43 the Messiah stated, "I have come in My Father's Name and ye received me not..." There is a clue that the Son's Name is in, and of, the Father's Name.
There are numerous places in Scripture where it states "The LORD is His Name." But is the LORD really HIS NAME? If you research the Bible Prefaces of various translations, you will find that they will admit that the true Name of the Father has been replace with the LORD, all in capital letters to indicate where the true name was taken out.
Psalm 68:4 is the ONLY place in the King James translation that gives a close rendition of the short poetic form of the Father's Name where it states,
"Sing unto God, sing praises to His Name: extol Him that rideth upon the heavens by His Name JAH, and rejoice before Him."
Then there are some versions that use the entire false name of JEHOVAH. (See Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; Isaiah 26:4.)
Well, we now have another clue but remember, there was no letter "J" until less than 500 years ago. Here the letter "J" replaced the letter "Y". So YAH is His Name. Have you ever said the word "Hallelujah"? Hummm.... Well, do you say "hallelu- Jaw!" or do you say "Hallelu - Yah"? Now you know the correct pronunciation of the first part of the TRUE NAME of our Heavenly Father, our Mighty One, our Elohim.
HIS NAME IS YAHWEH In the Hebrew language of today it is recognized as
.
For additional proof that His Name is Yahweh, discover how His Name is written on the very breath we breathe.
Let me drop a bombshell on you to show you how Satan has deliberately worked very hard to deceive you and to keep you from knowing the TRUE NAME of YAHWEH. Whenever you see the words "the LORD" with LORD being in all Capital Letters, the true Name, YAHWEH has been supplanted3. (See endnote for definition). At first impulse, you might think or say to yourself "this might have happened just a few rare times, but not to often, I'm sure". The TRUTH of the matter is, the TRUE NAME of YAHWEH has been supplanted nearly 7000 times (yes nearly SEVEN THOUSAND TIMES) in all of Scripture. You ought to be shocked! Satan has done a very good job of keeping us from getting to know our Father's Name and from CALLING UPON HIS NAME. Don't you think that if the Name of Yahweh was originally in the Scriptures nearly 7000 times that it WAS IMPORTANT TO KNOW IT? That is very conclusive to me and ought to be to you as well.
Now you know the rest of the story. But will you call upon the Name of YAHWEH now, or will you still call Him God? God is not His Name! God, Gad, Gud, are all names of other "mighty ones", Read Come Out Of Her My People for a clear a concise explanation of all the names of other pagan deities we use in our language. Exodus 23:13 says,
"And in all that I have said to you take heed. And make no mention of the name of other mighty ones4, let it not be heard from your mouth."
Zephaniah 3:9 says,
"For then I shall turn unto the peoples a clean lip5, so that they all call upon the Name of
, to serve Him with one shoulder." (Emphasis mine)
Well, we've sort of gotten side tracked here so lets get back on point. We know the Father's Name is YAHWEH so what about the son. Since there was no letter "J", and the Father's True Name started with a "Y" and the Son came in His Father's Name, it is fair to say that the Son's Name will also start with a "Y"; in fact, His Name starts with "YAH" just like His Father's according to John 5:43 quoted above.
The second and last syllable of the Son's Name is "shua", in Hebrew meaing "saves, salvation". So the Son's true Hebrew Name as Miryam (Mary) was instructed by the angel Gabri'el to give to the Messiah was Yahshua meaning "Yahweh Saves" or "Yahweh is Salvation". In Luke 1:31, the KJV says Mary was to call His Name JESUS, so since we now know that there was no JESUS name 2000 years ago, we have to understand that JESUS is a transliteration (and a very poor one) of the true Hebrew Name, YAHSHUA. You cannot find "jesus" in YAHWEH. But you CAN FIND YAHshua in YAHweh.
Yahweh, the Father sent His Son Yahshua as the Messenger to the Peoples of the Earth. The "NAME of the MESSENGER" was the MESSAGE. Yah-shua, Yah Saves.
So did Jesus walk the face of the Earth 2000 years ago? Certainly not! Is Jesus coming back again? No, but the Messiah, YAHSHUA is! Have you considered that the anti-messiah (a/k/a anti-christ) will reveal himself and claim to be "JESUS CHRIST" the son of "GOD". Will the TRUE MESSIAH, YAHSHUA come in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST saying I AM JESUS CHRIST? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Will He say "I am the Son of God?" Again, absolutely NOT! He will pronounce that He is the Son of Yahweh! Just because we are comfortable (by the error of tradition) calling the Messiah "Jesus" doesn't mean that His Yahweh given Name is "Jesus"! Think about it.
Just as you were given one NAME at birth by your parents who were inspired of Yahweh to give you that NAME, likewise, the Son of Yahweh has ONLY ONE TRUE NAME, YAHSHUA, and if you can say "Joshua" with a "J" you can say "YAHSHUA" with a "Y". We have taken the name JESUS to the whole world but that was not the Messiah's Name. We don't translate "Jesus" into a different name in Chinese or Russian, or French! No! We have erroneously taught all nations around the world how to say "JESUS". WHY DIDN'T WE TEACH THE WORLD THE TRUE NAME OF THE SON OF YAHWEH,
YAHSHUA
Satan has pulled the wool over the eyes of millions of Christians and we have assisted him and spread the deception to the rest of the world. Now is the time to REPENT of all our sins and of all our ignorance and plead to be shown other error and deception that lies within our being. We have been taught to be so careful to protect ourselves from deception so we are afraid to see with "eyes to see" and to listen with "ears to hear" and yet DECEPTION has been in us and has controlled us since the day of our birth.
"O
, my strength and my stronghold and my refuge, in the day of distress the gentiles shall come to You from the ends of the earth and say, "Our fathers have inherited only falsehood [lies], futility [vanity], and there is no value [profit] in them."6 Jeremiah 16:19 (ISR - bracket contents and emphasis mine)
Now is the day to call upon the Name of Yahweh and ask for forgiveness and accept the MESSENGER and the MESSAGE.
Hallelu-Yah! Hallelu-Yah! Praise you, Yah!
If there was no name "Jesus" 2000 years ago, was there the name "Christ" or "Christian" for that matter? Think about it. Is is proper to call yourself a Christian? That's for another study. It is time to,
"...Come out of her, my people lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. Because her sins have piled up to reach the heaven, and Elohim has remembered her unrighteousness." Rev. 18:4-5.

4 Footnoted in The Scriptures from where Exodus 23:13 was quoted, it states, "This is part of the so-called Covenant Law, and is further proof that the Chosen People need to be set apart, and their language too."
5 Footnoted in The Scriptures from this quote in Zephaniah 3:9 says "Or Language". A pure language is forthcoming to Yahweh's set apart people. Are you making the efforts today to clean up your lip from the names of other mighty ones?
6 Footnoted in The Scriptures from this quote in YirmeYahu (Jeremiah) 16:19, "The truth, and the Messiah, was given to Yisra'el (the Yahudim), not to the Gentiles - see The. (Psalms) 147:19, Yesh. (Isaiah) 23, Yesh. 60:2-3, Yn. (John) 4:22, Rom. 2.20, Rom. 3:2, Rom. 9:4. -------
Come Out Of Her My People is a great book to start learning how to follow the instructions commanded to us in Revelation 18:4.
