- YHVH.
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 
in Hebrew, for this is our Saviours
original Hebrew Name as given to Him at birth in
This page contains a full and a
comprehensive explanation … of Our Heavenly Father’s Sanctified
(Holy) “Memorial Name” as
well as the wonderful and blessed Name of our loving Messiah and Saviour!
Part One - “Magnify His
Name”
This important study, I pray, will touch and
uplift everyone who has that genuine desire to learn and come closer to our
Creator and His Only Begotten Son, our beloved Saviour, for in this study we
are going to rediscover the wonderful and the most blessed Name of - YHVH Elohim
whom “christendom” and others have been calling “The
LORD” for thousands of years, rather than using the true Name as is
written in the Hebrew Scriptures and that is His blessed “Memorial
Name!” Most ministers and teachers around the Word tend to leave this
subject well alone, however, I believe this to be a subject of great importance
and it is one that should be dealt with.
The Word tells me, that I am a child, a son of
the living Elohim (God) and having been redeemed through the shed Blood of
“the Lamb of Elohim!” Thus, if I am a son of the living Elohim,
blessed be He, then I have the right to know, and use my Father’s Name,
for it will always be used in the most righteous and sanctified manner!
“I will be a Father to you, and you will
be My sons and daughters, says *YHVH
Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:18.
YHVH was always shown in Hebrew letters that
never changed! We have proof of this and there are studies online! See the
links at the bottom of the page!
As sons and daughters of the living Elohim, we often praise our heavenly Father by singing, “Magnify His Name in all the earth.” But do we know His Name?
Also, when we pray that beautiful prayer that our Saviour taught us, we say, “Our Father in heaven, Sanctified be Your Name.” Now, just think about it, how often do we say “Your Name” or “His Name” but we never actually use the blessed Name of our Creator of heaven and earth and all that is therein! We are speaking of He who made you and me and sent His Son that we might have everlasting Life! I am speaking of that blessed and wonderful Name that has been given to us throughout His Word that was to be a “Memorial” for all time!
In this study, we are going to delve deep into this very special subject and by the end I pray that we will be able to “Magnify His NAME throughout the earth” by pronouncing and using His wonderful Name of YHVH Elohim! HalleluYAH – meaning Praise Yah.
“You shall love YHVH your Elohim with
all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength”
Davarim - Deuteronomy 6:5.
- YHVH,
called the “Tetragrammaton” and it is written in English Bibles as “the LORD”
with “LORD” in capital letters. The question we should
really ask ourselves, are words such as “LORD” or “God”
valid names for our Heavenly Father?
I can tell you with great assurance that they are not, for those words are in fact
“titles” and “attributes” for the Almighty, thus they
are NOT and should NEVER be used as names!
However, now being a believer in the blessed Messiah and a child of the living Elohim, filled with His Ruach HaKodesh Hebrew for the Sanctified (Holy) Spirit, I sought YHVH Elohim regarding the blessed “Memorial Name,” which He so clearly spoke about in Shemos - Exodus 3:15. After a great deal of prayer, fasting and seeking for an answer from the Almighty, I eventually received one, out of which has come this study, which is presented to you in faith and in love as a brother in the Messiah.
Beloved, ask your selves, what is the Name
we should love above all others? Is it our parent’s name, our
children’s name, our own name? No, the Name we should love above all
others is the most blessed Name of our heavenly Father and that of His Anointed
One The Messiah. We should also realise that Messiah’s Name contains a
part of - YHVH Elohim’s Sanctified Name!
I find it tragic that so many are quite
content to call the Father and Messiah by an assortment of titles and
substitutes, like God, LORD, or Lord, and
The “Little Flock” Fellowship of the
faithful in Messiah are well aware that there is only ONE true Elohim, blessed be He! However,
other faiths and cults use the very same words as those above. Words and titles
such as god, lord,
It is for this reason I believe it is vital that all who know the Messiah, know the “Memorial Name” of our Elohim and the true Name of Yahushua The Messiah!
Why is that so important? Because for far too long, the pagan church of Rome has influenced the protestant churches and the greater “church,” with its many vile satanic doctrines and has changed the perception of the “LORD God” and even what has become a false “christ” to the point that many “christians” have began to think of “the christ” as being “a christian,” rather than the One who …
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim (God), and the Word was Elohim. He was in the beginning with Elohim” Yochanan - John 1:1-2.
However, He who was “In the beginning,
the Word” by the miracle of YHVH Elohim would come out of the tribe of
In the late 90’s during a diner
discussion with a senior Baptist pastor in
Beloved, it is simply beyond belief, that a man who apparently spent many years at some theological college simply could not even grasp the simplest of Scriptural understandings that our blessed Saviour’s lineage is wholly Hebrew. For was our blessed Messiah NOT from the House of David as so clearly stated in both the Books of Mattityahu - Matthew chapter 1:1-16 and Lukas - Luke chapter 3:23-38. In addition as the Brit Chadashah, the New Covenant proves, that the Messiah and His Apostles celebrated all the “Feasts of YHVH” and upheld the Scriptural Seventh day Sabbath and spoke of themselves as being Judean, thus Hebrews, known today as Jews. Tragically, this so-called “man of God” had no concept of who our beloved Saviour really was. And having lost both the Memorial Name of YHVH Elohim and the actual name of Messiah has meant that “the greater church” has sadly gone far astray, due to their lack of understanding of the Word of Elohim and its Scriptural Hebrew origin and the foundation of the Word, for we need to remember that every single writer of the New Covenant was a Hebrew, even though some had dual nationalities, such as Shaul of Tarsus - Paul for example! But sadly the result of all poor translations, changes of original names and the removal of Elohim’s Name is responsible for the christian church to teach so much great error!
Since 1977 I have been able to speak to many
leaders, pastors regarding this question and often I have been told that
“God does not need a Name.” If this is true, why then the
words in so many Hymns and choruses … “Praise His Name?”
Frankly, every time you sing that line, or something similar, you are making a
mockery of our Heavenly Father and our beloved Saviour, for you are NOT using
their names in any shape or form!
I believe, as we come closer to
Messiah’s return for His faithful, the faithful MUST know the Name of
their Elohim and that of the Messiah. We are to praise and magnify the
Sanctified Name of Elohim in all our homes, fellowships and lands, and we must
be a witness of Him who is the ONE and TRUE Elohim! We MUST share the Name
above every name, the blessed Name of Yahushua, our Saviour who gave His
life in order that we might have life everlasting! We MUST share and speak
out the Name, using always it with great honour, and never without reason, but
always glorify YHVH and Yahushua and when we do, be a witnesses each time we
use the Sanctified Names!
Now what is it
about that name that we hear about in certain circles, that name - Jehovah ?
The 1973 edition of the Revised Standard Version
(1946) Bible expresses the following about that “Name.”
“(1) The word ‘Jehovah’ does
not accurately represent any form of the Name ever used in Hebrew; and, (2) the
use of any proper Name for the one and only true God, as though there were
other gods from whom He had to be distinguished, was discontinued in Judaism
before the Christian era and is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith
of the Christian Church.”
The personal Name of the Almighty was
regularly pronounced up to the destruction of the
The question arises, “Who gave them the authority to override YHVH Elohim?” For it was Elohim who gave us His Name as a “Memorial Name” to be used forever! More on this later. Did these priests and rabbis think they were the forerunners of the papacy and decided that they like the future popes who are thought to be like “God’s on earth” for this is what is claimed by the church of Rome and whatever the pope states is infallible! … “According the First Vatican Council, 20th ecumenical that affirms the doctrine of ‘Papal Infallibility.’ i.e. when a pope speaks ex cathedra on faith or morals he does so with the supreme apostolic authority, which no Catholic or anyone can question or reject.”
But this is just what the Hebrew priest and
rabbis did do in regard to the Sanctified Name of our Creator, they simply
abolished it and thus they have assisted to lead much of the world into
Scriptural error! However, it was
The question begs what did 
- in Hebrew, but
pronounces as “Adonai” - “LORD.” The four-letter Name
of Elohim and YAH is quoted over 6,000 times in the Tanach, the Old Covenant as
well throughout the Brit Chadashah! Thus, be assured in the Hebrew Scriptures,
the use of the blessed Name of Elohim, YHVH was never
“discontinued.” In addition, for the RSV to maintain for our
Heavenly Father to have a Name is absurd!
Beloved, we all have names and Elohim has a
Name, thus it is important that we know the one and only true Elohim and that
of His Son, by Name for this will make our relationship more personal. Is it
not true … “Should a child of Elohim not know their Father's
Name?”
How often have you prayed the “Lord’s
Prayer” and spoken these blessed words, “Hallowed be Thy
Name.”
Do you honestly think that our Messiah would give a prayer to His followers just to confuse? Do you think that at that time the Hebrews that were listening to Him reciting the beautiful Prayer that He gave us, that they did not know His Father’s most Sanctified (Holy) Name? Of course they did, for He, as did the Apostles used it all the time during prayer and teaching, which was always done in Hebrew and NEVER in Aramaic or any other language just as it is until to this very day in Synagogues around the globe!
Why, beloved do you think the Pharisees hated
Him so much with a vengeance; it was because He dared to use His father’s
Name! And I fully understand this, for even today, I am being constantly
attacked by Jewish Messianic’s who are bound by rabbinic traditions, and
they are stuck by the ways of the Pharisees. And yes I am also attacked by
christians, for they also are bound by pagan Romanism and the Satanic ways as
they continue to keep those evil feasts such as the festivals that worship
“Istra” (Easter) and “Xmas”, both commencing a thousand
or more years before our Saviour came and they have nothing to do with Him, but
are they are entirely related to the sun god and the “Winter solstice”
and the goddess “Istra.” Yet, they are blinded by
Alternatively we have sung, “Glorify
Thy Name in all the earth.” Is it not strange, we sing it without
thinking, not actually knowing or mentioning - YHVH’s Name at all? Some might say,
“But brother, I know the Name of God. It is - YHVH our
Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name!
That christian cult “Jehovah’s
Witnesses” will tell you that they are “the only church who
are called by the name of god.” Well the truth is, they embraced a
false name as well as a false god, for this - “YHVH” or “the LORD of
Hosts!” Sadly much of the “christian” world also uses this
false name, as does the King James Bible. Some Bibles use it up to several
thousand times. But, praise YHVH Elohim now there are a number of translations,
the like of the New King James, the New American Standard, the New
International and the New England Bibles that totally reject the Name of
“
“Thus you shall say to the children of
Whenever you see “the LORD” in any
“Bible” it should be obvious to you by now that right there it
really has the actual Name of Elohim, our Heavenly Father, which in Hebrew is
“My memorial - YHVH” or “Yah” that is
written over 6,000 times in the Tanach, the Old Covenant. Whenever my Hebrew
brethren read the Sacred Name, as I have stated earlier it is pronounced as
“Adonai” which means “Lord,” whilst some other Jews
prefer to say “HaSHEM,” which literally means “the
Name.” The ancient Hebrew alphabet did not have vowels until the Masoretic
in the 9th.century AD began to use vowel
signs and they purposely added the vowel pointing of Adonai under the
consonants of YHVH. Their intention was not to create a new word, but rather to
indicate to the Children of Israel, that “Adonai” would be pronounced
when “” was written in the Sanctified Scriptures. The first vowel
was changed from “a” to an “eh” purposely
making the sound “Yeh,” rather than “Yah,”
etc, thus, they ensured that no one would be able to pronounce the Name of YHVH.
The reason for the avoidance of pronouncing
the blessed Name of Elohim was a misunderstanding of the third commandment by
the priest and rabbis.
“Thou shall not take the Name of YHVH
thy Elohim in vain” Shemos (Exodus) 20:7 and Davarim (Deuteronomy) 5:11.
“You shall not swear falsely by the Name
of YHVH your Elohim”
- YHVH Elohim will realise that every time we
say “Hallelujah,” However, if you really think about it, you will
realise it that we actually pronounce it as “HalleluYah.” “Hallel” means “Praise,”
and “Yah” is the first part of the blessed Name, of the
Creator our Elohim!
Thus erroneous hybrid name of
“Jehovah” came about in the 16th.century,
by certain theologians who had little to no Hebrew understanding and they
attempted to read the Masoretic text and decided that the misspelled Hebrew with the vowels the consonants under the four
letter Name of YHVH Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name, which as we now know
was only to be as a clear indication to Israel for them to pronounce it as
Adonai, but to them it looked like it should have sounded like
“Yeh.” Thus they mistakenly believed the word to be
“Yehovah” and they decided on “
My Hebrew brethren believe that only the
Messiah will accurately pronounce the Name of Elohim. Well I know that He
certainly did when He was with us, and He will again! However, there is a precious
prophecy, which tells us:
“Therefore MY people SHALL know MY
NAME, therefore they shall know in that day that I am He who speaks:
‘Behold, it is I’” Yeshayahu - Isaiah 52:6.
At this point let us investigate the origins
of the letters - YHVH.
Hebrew for YHVH = YaHVaH
YHVH is a verbal form of the root “hvh,”
which is an older variant of the root “hava” which means,
“to be, shall be, to exist.” As this is in the future tense,
it therefore means “He that causes to be, He brings into existence.”
If we choose the vowels of “hava”
- “to be” and transpose them on YHVH, you will find
that the Sanctified Name of Elohim actually becomes
These are the declensions of the root “hava.”
Hava is a primitive root meaning to “breathe” –
“to be” (in the sense of existence). “Avah”
means, to “wish for,” “covet,” (greatly)
“desire,” be “desirous,” to “long”
(after). “Hayah” means, “to exist,” i.e.
“be” or “become” and “come to
pass.” Only three other instances of “hava” are preserved
in Hebrew. They are as follows.
1. Qoheleth - Ecclesiastes 2:22 “For what has
man for all his labour, and for the striving of his heart with which he has
toiled under the sun?”
“I appeared to Avraham -
YaHVaH our Elohim has told us in His Word that
His Name should be known by His children, for sadly, there are far too many
false gods worshipped in the world. We must therefore distinguish who our
Elohim is, and He is
“That they may know that You, whose Name
alone is - YHVH (YaHVaH), are the Most High over all
the earth.” Tehillim - Psalms 83:18.
The word “Memorial” in
Shemos - Exodus is “Zichri,” whilst the word is from “Zecher,”
being a primitive root meaning to “mark,” to “remember”
and to “mention.” The word “mention” also
appears in Yirmyahu - Jeremiah 20:9.
“Then I said, ‘I will not make mention
of Him, nor speak any more in His Name.’”
Some will argue that the name of Moshe’s
mother, Yochebed was recorded in Shemos - Exodus 3 verse 20, that proved
otherwise. However, the Word of Elohim is sure, thus when He said, “By
My Name - YHVH, I made Me not known unto them”
clearly states it was “NOT KNOWN.” It is generally
believed by “christian theologians” that Yochebed means,
“YHVH is glorified or honoured.” The question, we should ask
ourselves, “is it not strange, that not a single Jewish authority,
from long before the days of Yahushua, to this day agrees with that thought,”
and obviously neither does the author. Otherwise YHVH, blessed is He, would
have told a lie 18 verses earlier, in verse 2 of that very same chapter and
does our Creator lie? No He does NOT!
We should now ask the question why is the
blessed Memorial Name of “YaHVaH” never used today and certainly
not at all by
But there was another reason. Like today there are those who dissect the Word and they can even make it say what they want it to mean, yes, they can twist it so out of proportion that it is no longer what Elohim has actually said originally, and most ordinary people would not really know the difference, for they would have just accepted the scholars opinion. And that is such a tragic situation. In addition, like christianity, so much of Judaism today has gone completely astray, because of the cult of “Chassidism”, the so-called ultra orthodox who are extremely dangerous, for they are so steeped in various pagan rituals, just like, and I do say this with great sadness, the greater church entered into, for that evil Satan has been the victor during the past 2,000 years, and we must remember that our Saviour did forewarn us about this;
“Satan who deceives the whole world.” Revelations 12:9.
We must not forget that in the past, today and in the future, there have been and are many who claim to be “ministers, teachers” and even those who say they are “prophets of the Lord,” but they are ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing let by who?
“For such are false apostles, deceitful
workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Messiah. And no wonder! For
And that beloved is the great tragedy of our
times, but, praise be to
But back to the Hebrew word “Forever”.
Rabbis claim that “Le’Olam” is written defective and
that it is without the Hebrew “VaV” thus, it can be
pronounced “LeAlem,” which they say could possibly mean, to
“conceal.” Thus these rabbis alluded that this might
suddenly have signified that the Divine Name of Elohim must not be pronounced
as is written after all and that it must be “concealed.” That is
why we now read in most “Scriptures” the words “the
LORD,” which is also read as “Adonai” (LORD) or
“HaShem” (the Name) by many Hebrews.
However, I officially challenge all those so-called
wise rabbis for they are very unlearned and wrong and I do mean Scripturally
100% so! 1. Why then was it right to use YaHVaH’s Memorial Name
up to and even after the destruction of the
However,
“And I have declared to them Your
Name and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in
them, and I in them.” Yochanan -
The Word clearly stated that Yahushua
“declared,” and “revealed” … “Your
Name” and therefore the Apostles and the people would have known and
understood not only the titles of
I am well aware that many have said to me; “But brother, I am sure that you are wrong, for the Memorial Name of God only appears in the Old Testament and never in the New Testament for that is completely written only in Greek.”
However the truth is as follows; We should
understand that the Gospel’s, the book of Acts and Revelation, as well as
great parts of Epistles of the Apostles were originally written in Hebrew and
only much later translated into Greek. Obviously if we keep in mind the verse
quoted above from Yochanan - John 17:26, it becomes obvious that Yahushua
shared the Name of His Father with the people, but I hear you say, “Can
you prove that Messiah used His Fathers actual Name at any time?”
Obviously, the blessed Scriptures are packed with examples and I will add just
a few below. We need to remember that each time the Sanctified Name of “ - YHVH”
was written in the original Hebrew text, when it was translated, it was changed
to the Greek word “Kurios,” which means “Lord.” There
is no “the” if you look this up in your concordance it will have
“9999” below the word, thus it is not in the original Greek.
“It is written, ‘You shall not
tempt - YHVH (Greek; “Kurios”) your
Elohim.’” Mattityahu -
Yahushua was repeating the words spoken to
Moshe – Moses in Davarim – Deuteronomy 6:16, and obviously in that
verse clearly “ - YHVH” was used, and Yahushua our beloved Messiah, considering
that He “declared” and “revealed” His
Father’s Name would have done so!
“Blessed is he that cometh in the Name
of YHVH.” Mattityahu -
We must remember that the verse above is a
direct quote from Tehillim - Psalm 118:26, where the Hebrew says, “In the
Name of ”
See also Mattityahu -
“You shall love - YHVH your Elohim with all your heart, with
all your soul, and with all your mind (strength).” Mattityahu -
It should be quite obvious that this last verse is a direct quote from the Tanach, the Old Covenant.
“You shall love YHVH your Elohim with
all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” Davarim
– Deuteronomy 6:5.
Thus, had Yahushua quoted the verse without the Sanctified Name at that time, He would have been stoned to death, for that would have been the punishment if He had; 1. Quoted in another language other than Hebrew, for all other languages, including Greek were considered pagan! 2. Not used the Sanctified Memorial name, and substituted it with another title, for that would have been considered as blasphemy! The problem today is that christian’s and their more than useless theologian’s simply do not have this very simple understanding, yet they will argue the point for they will not ever be overcome, even if it is the Truth of YaHVaH Elohim, but remember, they will come to see that day of the Great White Throne of Judgement, and unless they repent and Return unto the One and Only Master and Saviour Yahushua The Messiah and YaHVaH Elohim, they will come to that point when “the wages of sin is death!”
We must always remember that the removal of the Sanctified Name YaHVaH Elohim was not the doing of Brit Chadashah, the New Covenant’s original authors, being the Apostles, but the erroneous translations being the result of Hellenisation of the writings of the Apostles from the original Hebrew into Greek.
Thus beloved, we need to remember that the Apostles who had received the Word directly from the Messiah, both the “declaration” and the “revelation” of the Name of YaHVaH Elohim, they obviously used it in all their original writings of the Gospels, especially when they were writing down direct quotes from the Tanach, the Old Covenant. However, we should also understand that at the time of our beloved Saviour the most sacred Name had not been lost, for they did know it, but it took on a new greatness when it was spoken by He who was “the Word.”
We should also remember, that the only Scriptures that was in existence at the time was of course the Tanach, the Old Covenant, for the Brit Chadashah, the New Covenant did not come about until a long time later!
But do you really know the origin of all the
“Bibles” today? The truth is that they are all based on the
“Codex Vaticanus” which is safely locked away in the vaults of the
We can find
proof regarding the actual Name of YHVH being in the Brit Chadashah – the
New Covenant from the most unexpected source and that is from groups of rabbis
in ancient times, and we should be well aware that they had rejected our
blessed Messiah Yahushua! Thus they did not have an agenda, for they argued
about how to destroy scrolls of the Brit Chadashah that had come into their
possession. For them these books had no value and were evil and full of
falsehood and the sooner they threw them in the rubbish the better. However
there was a big problem that caused a huge debate amongst these rabbis.
What we are
about to read comes directly from the writings from these rabbis who wrote
their man made laws and commentaries regarding the laws of Elohim in a massive
work that is far bigger than the Tanach itself, and they dare to call it the
“Oral Law,” but it is also known as the Talmud.
In a section
named “Talmud Shabbat 116A” there is a deep discussion
amongst a number of rabbis around 100 and 135 CE (AD) regarding the laws on how
and when a Torah Scroll can be burned if damaged or defiled. The general
consensus is reached that even in scrolls that have damaged or blank spaces it
must not be burned. However, the topic that was raised in section 116A was
regarding certain Scrolls that were known as the “Gilyon,”
which may have “blank spaces in the Books” (plural) of the “Minim,”
who they considered to be the “Nazarene heretics,” being the
writings of the Apostles of Yahushua and the discussion is all about how these
Scrolls should be handled. The word “Gilyon” means “Gospel”
or “Good tidings.”
Therefore the
issue here is that the Gospels in the Brit Chadashah – the New Covenant
actually contained the “Tetragrammaton,” the “Memorial Name of YHVH - .”
The question these
rabbis argued about was how should they handle these so-called heretical books?
“Can we really burn them?”
In verse 16 as per
their writings below, one of these rabbis questions … “if their
Torah Scrolls with the Divine or Sacred Name are the issue.” Another
answers “NO.” He is referring to the gospel (blank spaces)
of the books of the Nazarene heretics. In other words the Gospel books are not
regarded in the same light as the Torah Scrolls.
However, then comes
another point of view for another single rabbi states that on a weekday when
it’s not the Sabbath we must get the “Gilyon” - the books of
the Gospel and remove all the Divine Names before we burn the books. But
another rabbi who completely disagrees with him, states that these books are
trash that he would burn them even without removing the Divine Names! Even if
he had to take the books to a pagan temple should a Nazarene follow and chase
him to get the gospels back.
We need to
remember, as I indicated earlier the Talmud is NOT scripture, but only
the words of fanciful men who have misled Jews and placed the burden on all
Israel for it contains rabbinic (manmade) laws, and if you will remember that
our Saviour fought these very laws fiercely as did the disciples, but He, nor
the disciples ever stood against the Father’s blessed Law and sadly that
is the big mistake that the church continually makes and that makes them
somewhat similar to those rabbis, for their leaders are much like those
hypocrite Pharisees!
However this
writing in “Talmud Shabbat 116A” has given us some incredible and
wonderful historical confirmation of what many of the true believers in Messiah
Yahushua already know in our heart and spirit, that the original Brit Chadashah
or Books of The “Gilyon” (the Gospels) originally contained the
Divine and “Memorial Name” of - YHVH,
and not the pagan word “KURIOS.” It is a very simple fact,
if the four-letter Name of Elohim, - YHVH was not clearly present
in the Hebrew Brit Chadashah then known to the Jews as the Books of
“Gilyon,” why would the rabbis spend all that time arguing and
deciding how to destroy them without desecrating the Divine Name in them. The
truth is that sadly the glorious Sanctified Name of Elohim was known, but was
removed by the
Below we will read
some of the actual text taken directly from the “Soncino Talmud,”
for it will give you an idea of the struggle between those rabbis of what they
were to do, for there was the question of the most Divine Name of the Almighty
in the “Gilyon” (Gospels).
“Come and hear: The blank spaces above and below, between the
sections, between the columns, at the beginning and at the end of the Scroll,
defile one's hands. 13 - It may be that [when they are] together with the
Scroll of the Law they are different.14 Come and hear: The blank spaces 15 and
the Books of the Minim 16 may not be saved from a fire, but they must be
burnt in their place, they and the Divine Names occurring in them. Now surely
it means the blank portions of a Scroll of the Law? No: the blank spaces in the
Books of Gilyon - Gospels. Seeing that we may not save the Books of Minim
themselves, need their blank spaces [DIVINE SACRED NAMES] be stated? - This is
its meaning: And the Books of Minim are like blank spaces.
It was stated in the text: The blank spaces and the Books of the
Minim, we may not save them from a fire.
Rabbi
Obviously our
beloved Master and Saviour was very adamant about His faithful praying as
follows … “Our Father In heaven, hallowed
be Thy Name” and obviously the Name was and IS of great
importance and was NOT to be hidden, That is also why He so clearly asked
of His faithful …
“And I will do whatever you ask in My Name, so that the
Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask Me for anything in My Name, and
I will do it.” Yochanan -
The truth is beloved, when it comes to the
blessed Word of YaHVaH Elohim we must remember that the Word very clearly
states that we are not permitted to change even a “Yod or a Tithle,”
in other words, not even “a single letter,” let alone the
“Memorial Name and the title of YaHVaH Elohim,” well unless you are a “Jewish
Rabbi” or a christian pope, priest or a pastor of course, then you can
play being a god, but it will cost them
their life, for I will say it again and again – “the wages of sin is DEATH!
The book of Revelation has this quote direct
from the song of Moshe –
“Great and marvellous are Your works, YHVH El Shaddai (Almighty)! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints! Who shall not fear You, O YHVH, and glorify Your Name? For You alone are Sanctified. For all nations shall come and worship before You.” Revelation 15:3-4.
“YAH”
To me this proves that the Name of YaHVaH
Elohim has not changed and that all the faithful out of the nations and those
of
“Adonai”
or “Kurios”
As I have already stated earlier they will
fight their cause one way or another, it is a “never ever give in, no
matter, if you can prove it to be completely true!” As I have so clearly
shown above, whenever the four-letter Name of YHVH Elohim appears in blessed
Scriptures, Hebrews might well say “Adonai,” or
“HaShem” (the Name), however, to this day when writing the Name
of Elohim on the Torah (parchment) Scrolls, the scribes always
write Elohim’s Name as the four Hebrew letter - YHVH. Thus, His written Name has
never been lost or forgotten and continues to be used by on their manuscripts, as they and/or their
scribes later wrote the Gospels in Hebrew and I am sorry, NOT in the pagan
Greek, that was the idea of the evil ones who detested all Jews, and they
called them the “Christ killers”, etc! Even though Messiah came
with one purpose in mind, to give His life freely for you and for me because of
OUR sin!
From language styles compared with the Tanach
translation to the Greek, the Septuagint, it appears that the four Gospels were
without doubt, originally written in Hebrew and later translated to Greek. One
argument is that Aramaic was the language of the day, thus it is said that it
would have been written in Aramaic. And amazingly, it was also claimed by some
TV pastor, that the Messiah went about speaking and teaching in perfect Greek.
I tell you when I heard this I laughed out loud, for that was a real joke! What,
speaking Greek to the Hebrew peasants and fishermen, who only knew the common
day-to-day language of Aramaic and their religious Scriptural Hebrew? Please
help us Father, do people really listen to these evil satanically inspired men?
It must not be forgotten that in the
But the sad fact is that it was
However, those who oppose YaHVaH Elohim, who
are obviously led by the adversary - HaSatan and those who are so willing to
believe all of his wicked lies, can and will never destroy the most
Sanctified Memorial Name of YaHVaH Elohim, but Satan and all these
evildoers did succeed in persuading the “churches” to forget it and
accept a false name for our beloved Messiah! There has even been a variety of
substitute Names to confuse the matter. But now we are in these “latter
days” there are even some believers who might say, “It does
not matter if we really know or use the Name.”
Beloved, more than ever we need to know and
use the everlasting Name for this will ensure that those individuals we share
the Word with, know the difference between the one and only true Elohim, who is YaHVaH, and the many false pagan gods believed in throughout
this current evil and rotten world!
At this point let us now look at “the
Name above all names,” the Name of our Messiah who is called
“Jesus” by the “church” thanks to pagan first bishop of
Rome, and that was not Shime’on – Peter, for he never set a foot in
Rome, as is proved in the Scriptures and confirmed by Shaul – Paul! It
was in fact a man by the name of

“Therefore Elohim also has highly
exalted Him and given Him the Name which is above every name, that at the Name
of Yahushua every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth,
and of those 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.
- Yahushua, although many
have used one of the shortened versions, but we prefer the correct Name, for
His Name is special! But for some reason, as I will cover later, He was given a
new name by the “churches”, or better said by
I am well aware that so may have dearly loved
and worshipped the name of “
As myself and brother Kosta have travelled the
world, we have heard the name of the Messiah pronounced in many different ways,
be it “Iesous, Jesu, Jesus, Jisu, Isua, Isa” and in Israel and some
Asian lands, Yeshua, Yahshua, but the actual Hebrew Name that was given to Him
in the Scriptures is: “ - Yahushua.”
Ask yourself, why has mankind suddenly decided
and felt that it was right to completely change the most Sanctified and Holy
Name that ever was and has been and always will be, whilst, it has never been
done to any other great name on the earth? Well, have you ever heard of anyone
change any of the following names? Of course not, because no one would dare to
change

and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. He was
in the beginning with Elohim. All things were made through Him, and
without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the
life was the light of men.” Yochanan -
Beloved, “the Word was Elohim” Himself and He became a man, our Saviour Yahushua the Messiah, who lived a pure and a spotless life and then He gave His precious life for you and for me in order that we may have everlasting life in the Kingdom of Elohim! He was the Passover Lamb sacrificed for us! Beloved, have I made a point, thus how dare anyone change “the Name above every name!”
You would
think that there would have been an outrage, so why was there none when
precious Saviour’s Name was changed? Well that is because that snake in

when the Apostles were still alive and a wicked Samaritan who was a sorcerer who
became known throughout his land as he was a worker of magic, but when he saw
the great miracles of the Almighty that was done through Phillip whilst he was
ministering in Samaria he became interested and decided to become a follower.

Beloved your heavenly Father wishes you to know His Son, being your Saviour and His Name IS Yahushua THE Messiah and he who you have known as Jesus, I am sad to say is not the real Messiah, but a counterfeit that was created by an evil one, a man who is spoken of in the book of Acts chapter 8 verses 9 to 24.

This evil man Simon Magnus was also a Babylonian priest and he lived in Samaria and as we know from the Scripture, he “practiced sorcery” and that he boasted that “he was someone great” to the point that the people of Samaria thought of him to be “divine” for he had “great power.”
But why was that? Obviously he was doing his magic and was obviously a servant of

The first question many have asked is this
… “How do you really know that
Beloved that is
really very simple to answer for all we have to do is to look at that other
well-known person in the blessed Scriptures and that is Moshe’s -
Moses’ successor whose name was also - Yahushua, or as we know him today - Joshua.
Therefore we should look at how his name was written in the first edition of
Greek in the Septuagint, being the Greek translation of the Tanach,
the Old Covenant. And later we will look at the Brit Chadashah –
the New Covenant!
The Septuagint
was originally translated by seventy Hebrew Scribes around the third century
B.C., into Greek, some of us may be aware that there was a period of time
there when a part of Israel was under what could be called a Hellenic
influence. In the original version of the Septuagint “
Now ancient
Greek is an interesting language and having a Greek brother in Messiah, who has
been with me in this ministry since 1983 and works closely with me, certainly
making my life as a Hebrew believer a great deal easier, thank you Father, in
other words, we have the best of two worlds in Messiah, Praise Him!
But it is
interesting to note that there are eight Greek letter combinations
that are known as “diphthongs,”
one of these is ou - if a Greek
font is not available to you these are the letters “Omicron”
and “Upilson” and look much like (ov). However, they all end up sounding much like a
single sound. The three letters “Gia” that are pronounced
very much like the Dutch word “Ja.” Thus it sounds much like
the blessed Name “YAH,” as
in HalleluYAH. Thus, knowing all the aforementioned
we would really write
Over the years,
it has bothered me, when my brother Kostandinos looked up the new later
editions of the Septuagint, which were retranslated by that new Roman
(Simonian) church why is it that suddenly instead of “Joshua,”
which was originally written as “Giacousoua,”
had suddenly changed it to “Iesous.” I ask you beloved - The
question begs WHY?
“
1… How could they possibly give
him a completely different Greek name, it now being “Iesous” - instead of “Giacousoua.”
2… And why did

the most beloved Name of our blessed Saviour “Yahushua”
and as we will know from the Greek, our Saviour’s Name also was
originally written as “Giacousoua,”
but - “Yahushua.”
Thus, why did that evil one change the most blessed of All Names?
It has been the
argument of theologians over the centuries that they “had to call
Messiah by another name because there was no ‘Y’ in
Greek” and thus it became – “Iesous”
– “
Above, we have
clearly established that both their names are one and the same and obviously
there was another who was known by that name in the Word.
But, it is best
for us to look at one of the most reliable sources that is available and it is

the Word of Elohim, and we should know about the northern European god’s

pagan gods are called god, thus what god would anyone be speaking about? It is
the same with “
The “Little
Flock” of the Faithful:
From the time of Yahushua The Messiah, through the Apostolic age and throughout the ages, even when the faithful in Yahushua were being killed, simply because they dared to believe in full immersion in water and the keeping of the Seventh Day Sabbath according to Elohim’s command, The “Little Flock” of the Faithfull in Yahushua The Messiah continued for hundreds of years and faithfully continued and they refused to worship any other name, except the most blessed Name of Yahushua or Yeshua. But sadly they had to move away from the cities, for there they were being murdered by the church authorities and thus they went into safer areas. Most dispersed and no longer lived in groups and thus would fellowship together in small groups. As years passed, sadly there were less and less for they were slowly being killed and they became known as the “Protestor’s” for they simply would not give into the Roman or Lutheran priests who continued to murder them in the most evil of ways! But blessed be to Elohim a remnant always remained and we remain and continue to this day!
Then and today we fellowship mostly at home with our families or where there are larger groups, a hall is hired, but we remain Scriptural and are non commercial and thus have no paid ministers as we live according to the Word, “Give us this day our daily bread.” Thankfully today in 2013, the “Little Flock” Fellowship, being those of the faithful in Messiah are scattered all over the world and as I indicated we are sadly rather small in number, but this is just as our beloved Messiah foretold …
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is
the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction (the second death), and
there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the
way that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Mattityahu
–
But as we have already learned, there is no doubt that our Saviours Name is “Yahushua” and His Name contains the blessed Name of His Father, “Yah,” whereas “ushua” means “to save” or “salvation.” Thus, the Name of Yahushua means, "YaHVaH (the eternal existing One) Saves.” The blessed Name of Yahushua is correctly pronounced … “Ya’ho’Shoe’a.” And remember that all those who personally knew the Messiah and spoke with him, called him, “Yahushua.”
“And she will bring forth a Son, and you
shall call His Name - Yahushua, for He will save
his people from their sins.” Mattityahu -
“I will do whatever you ask in My Name,
so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.” Yochanan -
Defining Your Faith:
Beloved, It could well be asked of me,
“Why is it so important to know the actual Name of the Almighty and our
Saviour, for you make out that it is absolutely vital. I tend to believe, that
I should be able to share about God,
I certainly believe that this well-meaning person would be indeed very earnest in their faith, but sadly it is a thought that is very much in error! We should always remember that His Word comes first and foremost, it does not matter what we think! In addition, those they would be sharing with would be obtaining the wrong truths, for the words that they would be using are also used for very different reasons and they can apply to other gods!
Let me tell you something that occurred some
time back whilst I was speaking with a man; he told me that he was a christian,
but as we continued to speak he told me that he did believe in reincarnation
and that he felt that somehow the Krishna’s had something better to
offer. This confirmed precisely what I said earlier. You should understand very
clearly the following points; Hindus, Buddhists, and most other pagan religions
and even the Muslims will speak of their “God” as well as
“Jesus,” but this does this make them a believer and a follower of - YHVH
Elohim and his Anointed Messiah, our blessed Saviour Yahushua! The sad fact is
that they have no knowledge of Him, who was … “In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim”
(Yochanan -
Thus, the faithful believers in the Word of Elohim must stand apart from the world, as Yahushua The Messiah has asked of us. We should therefore return to the ways of old as led by the Apostles and once again commence to use the Sanctified Name of YaHVaH Elohim and Yahushua for these are their Scriptural Names and titles.
As one chorus goes, “There is
power in the Name.” And I can tell you this, There is indeed great POWER in THE Names,
thus it is vital that you commence using the Names that is greater than any - YaHVaH Elohim and Yahushua
The Messiah.
Blessed be the Sanctified Name of -
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 Thes 4:13-14.
Beloved, this message, and it contents was
given to me by - YaHVaH Elohim for me
to share with you and the “churches,” for He desires everyone to
know Him by His rightful Name and His attribute, which is you will know by now
“Elohim” and it should not be “God,” but that will be
another study soon. We must be aware Yahushua will come in this “ - Yahushua at the time
of the sound of the trump, He will be able to say, “Well done good and
faithful servant.”
However beloved, treat Yahushua’s coming
as if it is going to happen today! Then you will be ready at the Feast that
will soon be fulfilled having faithfully declared the Name of YaHVaH – Yahushua has come, died,
rose again and ascended to be with His Father Elohim, and He will return
again soon! BUT - are you ready?
The study below is very
powerful; and I suggest that you read it, that is if you are strong enough and
ready to read it.
However, I suggest that
pray first and ask Elohim in the blessed Name of Yahushua to give you
understanding and Discernment!
“Teach me Your way, O YHVH. I will walk in Your truth.
UNITE MY HEART TO FEAR YOUR NAME!”
May YHVH Elohim bless and keep you in the palm of
His hand always, in Messiah Yahushua’s loving Name!
