-Please Read this FIRST- On this site
we prefer to use the actual Name of our loving Heavenly Father as it was
written in the Word, and thus you will note that we will use the Four
Letter “Memorial Name” of
- YHVH,
which is pronounced as YaHVaH or YaHWaH. In addition we will also
use our Heavenly Father’s attribute/title, which is Elohim rather
than “God,” which sadly is the name of a pagan god. In addition we
also love to use the actual and real Name of our beloved Messiah which
is 
- Yahushua or Yahshua in short, for
this is our Saviours original Hebrew Name as given to Him at birth in Lukas - Luke 1:31. This was the only Name ever used
when He was on the earth by His family, disciples and His followers OVER THE
centuries, even until today! However, it was changed to a foreign name by the
founder of the new “pagan church of Rome.” Occasionally, we may
also use other Hebrew or Greek names as well as different words in our studies
for certain common words used are from pagan backgrounds and thus are not
suitable. All names will be translated when they are FIRST used in a study or
at various times as needed for clarity. There is a full explanation of
YHVH’s blessed “Memorial Name” as well as the wonderful
blessed Name of our Messiah and Saviour, thus please read …
“The
Memorial Name.”
Introduction:
“Wherefore Elohim (God)
also hath highly exalted Him and given Him a Name which is above every
name. That at the Name of (the Messiah) every knee should bow, of
things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth, and that every
tongue should confess that Yahushua The Messiah is Master, to the glory of
Elohim the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11.
It is without doubt that so many around the
world genuinely love the name of “Jesus.”
And as we travel the world, I hear the Name of the Messiah pronounced in many
different ways - “Iesous, Jesu, Jesus,
Jisu, Isua, Isa” and in Israel
and some Asian lands, Yeshua, Yahshua, however the actual Hebrew Name that was
given to Him in the Word is - “Yahushua.”
Is it not strange that our blessed Messiah has
so many variations when it comes to His Name? Yet, as I travel the around the
world, we all have just one name, and I am simply called by that in all English
speaking countries as well as Germany, Holland, Russia, Poland, Spain, France,
Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, China, the Americas, as it is in the
Middle East! And no one has ever called
me by another name.
We may ask a simple question; Why? Well
the answer is my name is my name and I have not chosen to change it to anything
else, whereas some Eastern European migrants and some others may have made a
personal choice to change their very difficult, let’s say their Eastern
European sounding or an awkward name to pronounce to something more British,
and that is fine, but that was their choice.! But, if every nation in the world
is able to call me by my correct name, WHY then is it not possible to call our
precious Saviour by His correct Name? For does He not have “the Name
above every name?” Of course it is possible and we should call the
Messiah by the Name, which His heavenly Father gave Him.
Many have asked me how did Messiah’s
Name get changed from the original Yahushua to Jesus? This article will answer that very question, and although it will
obviously be rather controversial for most ‘christians’ and I am
well aware that there will be those who will bring forward a number of
arguments in regard to it, but believe me, I have heard every one of them, and
not one to date has had any validity, for you can and should translate words in
order that we may understand what is written and what it means, but a name
is a name and it does not require translation, Did our Saviour not ask us
specifically – “Ask it in MY MAME and it shall be done.”
Well beloved, have you?
Now let us look at just a few of the arguments
presented to me in the past:
Let me take care of
the main argument first, the one being – “But the Lord has blessed
me when I have used the name of Jesus,” etc! There could be two possibilities here, one very
positive and the other rather negative and this would depend where you are at,
and how strong your faith is. 1. Yes, YaHVaH our Elohim, (the LORD our
God) will have blessed you, for he does not punish those who are blameless and
do not know any better. For let’s be honest, you will have been reading
His Word and you have come to know His Son, and believe in the Messiah as Lord
and your Saviour, thus He will bless you! Even though Messiah asks in the Word
ask it in MY NAME, He would very much prefer we do ask it in His actual Name
and not in a name that has been invented, for Jesus
is not a translation from the Hebrew. However, Elohim does allow many in the
Body to be blessed, for they are seeking His Word in Spirit and in Truth and
they may even discover the blessed Memorial Name of YaHVaH, but in due course
due to their faith, that of His only begotten Son, Yahushua The Messiah! Thus,
if you have been using the name of Jesus
in the past, fine, but it could now be the time to understand where it
originates from and that is why our Saviour has led you to read this study NOW,
for our heavenly Father wishes you to know His Son in fullness as He originally
intended!
2. Others may
have received some sort of fulfilment or request to prayers, but remember that Satan is a great counterfeit! What does the Word
tell us?
“So the great dragon was cast out, that
serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan who
deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth and his angels
were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:9.
Thus, we could ask the question, “What
does the name of “IESOUS” – “JESUS”
really mean, and why was it changed from Yahushua?”
In Hebrew and Greek names always have a very
precise meaning and nothing is there without a reason. We know that the
prophets were given very specific names and when we study them we discover that
they were indeed chosen men for their times. Here are just a few examples: Yirmyahu - Jeremiah means “Appointed
of Yah.” Zecharyah – Zechariah means “Yah protects.” Yeshayahu – Isaiah means
“Salvation of Yah.” Each of these are such wonderful
names and there are so many more, which will be found as you read the many
studies online!
But, let me
begin with the name “IESOUS”:
1. The Greek “IE” or “JE” has the sound of
“Yeh,” is what is known as a “hail.” As we know,
this is certainly not in any way related to the blessed Memorial Name -
“Yah,” for it was deliberately changed.
An interesting note, according the Dictionary
of Christian Lore and Legend by J. C. J. Melford, page 126 it states that in
the “Latin the word ‘JESU’ has been traced to an Hebrew word
meaning a ‘curse be upon.’”
2. This leaves
us with the “SOUS” or “SUS” part of the name. This word
also has a very distinct meaning and this is the part that needs further
investigation. We should be well aware that there are many other Greek
individuals, cities, places and countless deities that have either all or part
of this name, being “Sous,” “Seus” or “Sus”
and the reality is that all three renditions are actually directly related to
the name of the Greek god “ZEUS.” I am
well aware that this will be a shock, but every time you pray “JeSus” what you unknowingly have said is
… “Hail Zeus!” Remember that Satan
has deceived the whole world and by that I do mean the whole church system!
Satan used an evil man at the very beginning, during the days of the Apostles,
a man who came from Samaria who was a sorcerer who did many tricks that looked
like miracles, but when he saw Ya’akov – James preach and do real
miracles in the Name of Yahushua, he was immersed and went to Jerusalem where
in due course he met Shime’on – Peter, but he was rejected as he
desired to buy his way in wanting to become an apostle. (read Acts chapter 8).
This evil man Simon Magnus
and not Peter went to Rome
and set up the new Roman church and it
was he who became the very first Bishop of Rome. He created the term “Christian,” “Christ”
(taken from the pagan gods ‘Chrestos’ and ‘Chreston’)
and as far as we know “IESOUS.” Shaul - Paul clearly confirms in his writings that Shime’on - Peter
never went to Rome! (Read my study
on Simon
Magnus).
Satan also used men like the sun worshipping Emperor
Constantine and the Nicene Council
and the church hierarchy to destroy all that was good amongst the faithful
followers of Messiah Yahushua as most were slowly murdered by them and the
church throughout the ages!
Here are a few examples of Greek names that
are related to “Zeus” such as the Greek
hero of the Trojan War “Odysseus” and the Greek deity
“Ieuseus” being a variant spelling of the Latin “IESUS.”
There is the sacred mountain in Greece Parnassus, and the god of wine
and the son of Zeus “Dionysus.” Other Greek words such as “Tarsus” mean
the “sweat of Zeus” and then there is Pegasus and
Ephesus all
make mention of the god Zeus and the list just goes on for
there are so many more!
Thus tragically our loving Saviour was renamed
“JeSeus” – “hail to Zeus”, but as the centuries
passed, there were those who used the name were totally unaware of its actual
meaning and thus cannot be found guilty of its use, unless you continue to use
it after reading this! This name was attributed to Messiah Yahushua by the
pagan Roman church who was against anything that was remotely that even
appeared to be from a Judaic origin; especially the keeping of the Seventh Day
Sabbath and thus the “Mithra” or the “Sun” worshipping
Emperor Constantine changed that by a law of force, under the cloud of
punishment of death on March 7, 321 A.D. This was part of his (Blue law)
statement:
“On the
venerable Day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities
rest, and let all workshops be closed.” (Codex Justinianus 3.12.3, trans.
Philip Schaff,
History of the Christian Church,
5th ed. (New York, 1902).
The Roman Papacy officially confirmed the Sunday law for The
Council of Laodicea (governed over by Constantine)
in 364 A.D. decreed,
“Christians
shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday but shall work on that day; but the
Lord’s day they shall especially honour, and, as being Christians, shall,
if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing,
they shall be shut out from Christ.”
(Strand, op. cit., citing Charles J. Hefele, A History of the Councils of the
Church, 2 (Edinburgh, 1876) 316).
This Roman
pagan based church was not part of the apostolic Ecclesia that had been in
existence since the time of Messiah Yahushua and had continued and does so
until this day!
“And she will bring forth a Son, and you
shall call His Name Yahushua, for He will save his people from their
sins” Mattityahu - Matthew 1:21.
Yes, our Saviours Name is - “Yahushua,” and His Name
contains the blessed Name of His Father, “Yah,” whereas
“ushua” means “save” or “salvation.”
Thus, the name of Yahushua means, "YaHVaH (the eternal existing
One) Saves.” The blessed Name of Yahushua is correctly pronounced
… “Yah’hoe’Shoe’a.” One may say there is
nothing wrong about the Name of Jesus as it is the Anglicised version of
Yahushua. However, I make the point that all those who personally knew the
Messiah and spoke with Him, called Him, -
“Yahushua.” You might say, “but the New Covenant is in Greek,
and there it was written differently.” Well there is clear proof that the
Gospels were originally written in Hebrew and they were later translated into
Greek. And it was due to Greek not having a “Y” in its alphabet, it
was therefore was written as “Iesou” or “Isous.” HOWEVER,
how do we explain the next issue?
Joshua and our Saviour had the same name!
At this point I wish
to point out, that there was ANOTHER man of Elohim (and several others) in the
Word and his name was also “Yahushua.” This man’s name was
also written as “IESOU” in the Greek. But, how was his name
translated when it came to the English in the Word? There you will find it much
closer to the original Hebrew, “Joshua.” Thus the question
arises. “Why was the name of our Saviour not written as Joshua in the Word, and why was it so it so dramatically changed that it
no longer resembled anything like His real name?” The adversary (HaSatan)
obviously did a very good job at using Rome and the many so-called intellectual
scholars to hide the TRUTH for now Satan had this pagan inspired church,
worshipping on the “venerable day of the sun” and praying,
concluding with “a hail to zeus,” what a massive victory for
Satan, who had in reality already been defeated at Golgotha, but he is still
working to get as many as possible astray and into the grave “for the
wages of sin is death!”
Messiah or Christ?
It is
also important to look at the best-known title or attribute of Yahushua, the
“Christ.”
You may have well noticed that this word “Christ” is
never used in my teachings, be it from behind the pulpit or in writing. There
are multiple good reasons for this.
“He (Yahushua) is Kurios of kurioon and
Basileus of basileoon - He is Lord of lords and King of kings.”
Revelations 17:14.
Considering this verse, why is it, when we
speak about Yahushua, we use the term “Lord” or
“Master” and not “Ku’ri’os,” … or “King” rather than “Bas’il’yeas”? You might say, well brother that is Greek, and
beloved you are quite right! Thus, I will then ask the question, “why
then use the Greek word Christ (from Christ’os) rather than its translation, Messiah”? We call Yahushua
“Lord” and “King,” thus we should then clearly make
clear to the world that He is our “Messiah” or the
“Anointed” for that is what the Greek or the Hebrew word “Mashiach”
means.
Please remember these terms are titles, or
attributes of our precious Yahushua The Messiah and we should translate them
into our language for full understanding. However, names should never be
altered or changed, and we should use the wonderful Name YaHVaH Elohim gave our
Messiah and Yahushua is His actual Name!
Another reason I do not wish to use the title “Christ” or “Christian” is 1. because of its origin “Chestos” which is
the name of a pagan god. 2. and also due to the millions of Jewish lives and so
many other of the faithful believers in Messiah who were known as the
“protestors” that were slaughtered in the Name of “Christ” by
the most evil “so-called christians” during the past two thousand
years. Within Jewish circles, the word “Christ” and “Christian” is associated with “death,” and the
“murder” of Jews throughout Europe.
Jewish people think of Hitler as being “a
Christian,” remember that he was a Roman Catholic, yet he, and his mostly
Catholic and Lutheran followers were responsible for the death of some 40
million people, including 6 million Jews during World War II.
In addition, in today’s climate to say
… “I am a Christian” has little to no meaning to the world,
for so much evil has been done by those who are supposed to be
“chistians” peodophiles priests and ministers in various churches,
sexual crimes and so many other evils that have been done. I am well aware that
this does not represent the whole, but it is what the majority of non-believers
hears and sees on TV and remembers! We the faithful believers and followers in
Messiah Yahushua understand the difference and we often use more meaningful
statements. Rather saying that you are a christian, it would be better to
define your faith in the Messiah Yahushua, for we know that the word “christian” has lost its meaning in the world, especially in these
“the latter days.”
Recently whilst speaking with a man, he told
me that he was a “christian,” however within minutes he commenced
to tell me of his belief in Krishna
and reincarnation. You need to know, Hindus, Buddhists, and even Muslims speak
of “God” and “Jesus,” but this does not make them a believer and a follower of
our Saviour Yahushua the
Messiah. No way! This does not mean they know Him who is YaHVaH Elohim, the Creator and sustainer of life.
Thus, we as faithful believers in the Word of
Elohim must stand apart from the world, as Messiah Yahushua has asked of us. We
should return to the ways of old, and start calling YaHVaH Elohim and Yahushua by their Scriptural Names and titles. As one chorus
goes, “There is power in the Name.” How true this is.
Therefore, let us return to using “the Name above every name.”
A Name greater than any - YaHVaH Elohim,
and Yahushua The Messiah.
Blessed be the Sanctified Name of YaHVaH
Elohim, the Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth. Blessed be the wonderful
Name of Yahushua the Messiah, who died for us and rose again after three days
and three nights, HalleluYah.
Thank You precious Yahushua, that all who
believe in You and repented of their sins shall not perish but have everlasting
life!
“Brothers, we do not want you to be
ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who
have no hope. We believe that Yahushua died and rose again and so we believe
that Elohim will bring with Yahushua those who have fallen asleep in
Him.” 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14.
In Conclusion.
Beloved, this
message and it contents was given to me by YaHVaH Elohim, for me to share with everyone
who desire to know the truth of His Word, for Elohim desires you through His
Word to “RETURN AGAIN TO ME” and once again call Him by His
rightful Name! We must be aware Yahushua will come in this “LeDor Acharon” - the “Last generation” (Tehillim - Psalm
102:18) for the people of Israel has been in part
restored to Zion and this is but
the beginning of the prophecy. Therefore we have a big task ahead of us to
proclaim the Word to a lost and sinful world, to the church, Jew and Gentiles
alike, in order that many will be blessed and join the faithful in Messiah that
we will be ready at the time when we shall meet Yahushua at the sound of the
“trump” - “in the air.”
“For the Lord Himself will descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trump of
Elohim. And the dead in Messiah will rise first. Then we who are alive and
remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in
the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one
another with these words" Thessalonians 4:16-18.
“Teach me Your way, O YHVH. I will walk in Your truth.
UNITE MY HEART TO FEAR YOUR NAME!”
Tehillim
– Psalms 86:11
May YHVH Elohim bless and keep you in the palm of
His hand always, in Messiah Yahushua’s loving Name!

Yahushua
said; “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me
draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the
Prophets: They will all be taught by Elohim. Everyone who listens to the Father
and learns from Him comes to Me. No one has seen the Father except the One who
is from Elohim; only He has seen the Father. I tell you the truth he who
believes has everlasting life.” Yochanan
