- 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, the Apostles and His followers over the centuries! However, it was
changed to a foreign name by the founder of the new “pagan church of

Hebrew & Greek Names
Of Books, Persons and Places as found in the original Scriptures
Shalom and welcome to this special page and we pray that
through the studies found on this site you will be able to open the door of
Scriptural beauty that are full of His blessed Word and that you will be able
to learn so much more about our Eternal “YaHVaH Elohim,” which
sadly the world has been incorrectly calling “the LORD God” and His
Anointed one, “Yahushua the Messiah”, again the world has another
name being “Jesus Christ.” To clarify these questions it is best to
read the wonderful and comprehensive study “The Memorial Name”
Our beloved
Saviour Yahushua, being His actual and real Name, as is proven by the Strongs
Concordance, was prophesied throughout the Hebrew Scriptures and we give praise
that He did indeed come and shared the Good New of the yet to come
“Kingdom of Elohim!” He then freely gave His precious life as the
Passover Lamb of Elohim in order that all who believe upon Him and repent would
be redeemed, and they would then be immersed in water and follow His teachings
and His ways unto the day of His return!
However, today
we live in a world of great evil and anger and we need to take heed to the Word
as spoken by YHVH Elohim through His prophet Amos … Thus beloved - listen
and understand and let that kind of hunger grow within you and it is VITAL that
we return to using the Eternal’s Name and that of our Saviour, for did He
not say over and over again, “Ask it in MY NAME and it shall be
done?” Names are VERY important in the Word of the Father, for they all
mean something, and we MUST NEVER change them. Fopt that can be very dangerous,
for do you really know what “
Jesus” really Means, or “Christ” for that matter? This site
will tell you the facts as history and the Scriptures proves!
This page contains; 1. The original names of the Hebrew Tanach, the Old
Covenant Books. 2, as
well as its translation. 3, as well as the traditional English Name 4, and finally, the common
abbreviation’s used.
This is followed by the Brit Chadashah, Hebrew for the New
Covenant. Other Names and their meanings., which is followed by Places. To
conclude we have Tribes and other Groups, etc.
The Books of
the Tanach, the Old Covenant are arranged in the original Hebrew order, for
sadly the “christian Bibles” at a much later date were rearranged
to its current order, which is sad!. For no man has a right to change or alter
the blessed Word of YHVH Elohim and the church has been greatly guilty of
making many changes and alterations and I mean not just to the order of the
books!
