Scriptural study about the Tribes
Joyous Preparation Day to each of you!
As many of you may not know, from time to time we post things in ourArticles/Studies Library that we may or may not mention in blog postings. It is important to go out and check our website at times for added information..etc. Also, If you haven’t been sharing our website or blogs with your families, friends, and people you work with.. please do. We know Abba brings people to our website for certain purposes, but if something you read or watch on our site blesses you; please share it around. It has nothing to do with our sake or our own esteem which pales greatly in the light and esteem of our Master, but for His esteem only and for the sake of strengthening that which remains, do we ask you to share.
For example – we just posted a new music/Scripture video called Celebrate the Creator – Celebrate Life! Why is this important to mention and share? If you do not already know, the world is moving progressively faster and faster towards the goals of the enemy in what is called the Transhumanism Movement. It is becoming increasingly known that Lucifer’s elite in this world want to and have done so to a degree – replace the image of Elohim (man) with hybrid’s, DNA manipulated, Artificial Intelligent beings called Humanity 2.0. Mankind, through Lucifer, is becoming as ‘gods’ and are spitting in the face of the Creator of the universe! With that said, the last call of the Messenger in Revelation 14, is to call the earth to Just Acknowledge Elohim as Creator, and this video (only 4 minutes) speaks a message to celebrate the life as Elohim created and breathed into us. Mankind got down to only “one” human being named Noah, and it was through the obedience of Noah that we are even living and breathing today. Yahuweh only works with the few — we must make sure were one of them!
We do also want to mention that we have posted a new study called Did You Know, which can be found in our Library. It wasn’t written by us, but came as a letter to us when we ordered Yair Davidiy’s, The Tribes. It is a Scriptural study about the Tribes and gives excellent foundational information. Make sure you read all of the Scripture passages/verses it mentions. This is important to the heart of Abba. If we do not understand why the Two Houses of Israel split, we will never become passionate about the great restoration of His family that is soon coming on the horizon.
We ARE living in the Latter Days — no question about it. It’s time we get in line and “fall in place” as my old Drill Seargent used to say. Focus – Focus – Focus! The enemy is out to distract you with things that do not mean a “hill of beans”. If he can get your attention and draw your focus off what is really happening.. you will continue to walk around as if in a daze; clueless as to what time we are in. The thief in the night comes to those who are sleeping – not to those who are awake and attentive, doing their jobs as representatives of the Kingdom.
We pray each of you have a good Shabbat, and tune into the Master’s voice. It is still, it is small, it is a whisper at times… yet it is all leading up to the thunderous blast of the Shofar that will soon announce — the King has arrived!
Are you ready? Are you listening? Are your garments clean and white?
Make firm your calling and choosing – 2 Kepha (Peter) 1:10

and A study of the appointed Feasts of YHWH by Norman B. Willis
2015 Oct 15th is the The Eighth Day of YHWH
When YHWH gave us HIS Calendar, He did not choose the days at random. Rather, He incorporated specific days into His calendar in order to give us prophetic shadow pictures of the things He has purposed to come to pass.
In the last chapter on Sukkot we spoke briefly about the Last Great Day of the feast. This Last Great Day is also called ‘Shemini Atzeret,’ which means, essentially, ‘The Assembly of the Eighth (Day).”
While the Assembly of the Eighth is often thought of simply as the final day of the Feast of Sukkot, it is actually a separate festival. This is in much the same way as the Passover is followed by the seven Days of Unleavened Bread. However, in this case, the seven days of Sukkot are followed by the one day Assembly of the Eighth (Shemini Atzeret).
In Hebrew, the word ‘Atzeret’ (עֲצֶרֶת) means not just ‘an assembly,’ but a very special kind of assembly. It indicates that one’s host is not letting one go home. Rather, one’s host is ‘holding one over’ for an extended period of time. Strong’s Concordance defines the word atzeret (עצרת) in this way:
OT:6116 `atsarah (ats-aw-raw’); or `atsereth (ats-eh’-reth); from OT:6113; an assembly, especially on a festival or holiday:
When we look up the root at Strong’s OT:6113, we get:
OT:6113 `atsar (aw-tsar’); a primitive root; to enclose; by analogy, to hold back; also to maintain, rule, assemble:
KJV – be able, close up, detain, fast, keep (self close, still), prevail, recover, refrain, reign, restrain, retain, shut (up), slack, stay, stop, withhold (self).
Shemini Atzeret, then, shows us that YHWH intends to hold us back, to detain us, or to ‘close us up’ in some fashion for the eighth day. But in what way does YHWH intend to ‘detain us’, or to ‘hold us over’?
The Apostle Kepha (Peter) tells us that one prophetic day can symbolize a thousand earth years.
Kepha Bet (2nd Peter) 3:8
8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing: that with YHWH, one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years is as one day.
Notice, then, that Scripture tells us that the Creation Week was seven days long.
B’reisheet (Genesis) 2:2
2 And on the seventh day Elohim ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
If the Creation Week lasted seven days, and if one prophetic day can represent a thousand earth years, then the Creation Week is symbolic of a seven thousand year plan for the earth and its inhabitants.
But if the earth is to last for seven thousand years, then why would the Feast of Sukkot last for eight days? And what is the symbolism of the eighth day?
In truth, the Feast of Sukkot lasts only seven days. We know this because it is only for seven days that the children of Israel are to dwell in booths.
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23:41-43
41 You shall keep it as a feast to YHWH for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths,
43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am YHWH your Elohim.’”
The eighth day of Sukkot, then, is really a separate festival. Leviticus 23:36 tells us that we are to hold an assembly (עֲצֶרֶת) on this eighth day in order to bring an offering made by fire. We are also to do no ordinary or laborious work.
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23:36
36 For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to YHWH. On the eighth day you shall have a set-apart assembly, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to YHWH. It is a set-apart assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.
Verse 39 then tells us to keep the first and the eighth days of the festival as set-apart sabbaths of rest.
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23:39
39 ‘Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of YHWH for seven days; on the first day there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest.
It may be that the first day of the feast symbolizes the first day of the Creation Week, when YHWH Elohim created the heavens and the earth.
B’reisheet (Genesis) 1:1-2
1 In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.
2 The earth was made formless and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.
If the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles symbolizes the first day of Creation, could it be that Shemini Atzeret symbolizes how we will go to the New Earth, which Isaiah speaks of?
Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 65:17-20
17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.
18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in My people; the voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
20 “No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days; for the child shall die one hundred years old,
But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.”
While the Feast of Tabernacles is symbolic of many things, it is also symbolic of the New Earth, for the Book of the Revelation tells us that in the New Earth, the Tabernacle of Elohim will be with men.
Gilyana (Revelation) 21:1-4
1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
2 Then I, Yochanan, saw the set-apart city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from Elohim, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the Tabernacle of Elohim is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. Elohim Himself will be with them, and be their Elohim.
4 “And Elohim will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
If YHWH wills, we will explore this topic in much more detail in the Joseph’s Return study, as well as explore why Yahuhua returns to take us to the New Earth at the end of the earth’s seven thousand years.
Once we understand the prophetic symbolism of the number eight, we can begin to see this symbolism turn up throughout the Torah.
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 22:26-27
26 And YHWH spoke to Moshe, saying:
27 “When a bull or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall be seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and thereafter it shall be accepted as an offering made by fire to YHWH.”
YAHushua tells us that those who believe on Him are like unto sheep, or to goats.
Mattai (Matthew) 25:31-33
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the set-apart messengers with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.
32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.
33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.”
For seven days, our sheep and our bulls and our goats are not acceptable as sacrifice offerings unto YHWH. In much the same way, for seven thousand years, the ‘sheep’ and the ‘goats’ and the ‘bulls’ who believe on Yeshua are not acceptable into YHWH’s kingdom. Rather, we must wait until the start of the ‘Assembly of the Eighth’, after the Judgment, when YHWH will ‘hold us over’ in the New Earth. Then we will Tabernacle with Him.
Going Deeper:
As one might expect, the Most High Perfect Elohim has created multiple layers of symbolism and meaning not only in His Torah, but also in His Festivals. While a complete discussion of the significance of the festivals is outside the scope of this work, let us take a look at the interrelationships between the spring and the fall festivals.
In Yoel (Joel) 2:23, YHWH tells us that the latter rains come in the first month.
Joel 2:23
23 Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in YHWH your Elohim, for He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you — The former rain, and the latter rain in the first (month).
(23) וּבְנֵי צִיּוֹן גִּילוּ וְשִׂמְחוּ בַּיהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם כִּי נָתַן לָכֶם אֶת הַמּוֹרֶה לִצְדָקָה | וַיּוֹרֶד לָכֶם גֶּשֶׁם מוֹרֶה וּמַלְקוֹשׁ בָּרִאשׁוֹן:
The Land of Israel is semi-tropical, and has essentially two seasons: a hot dry summer, and a wet winter. In between these seasons are short temperate periods of transition, when the Spring and Fall Feasts take place. Most of the rain in the Land of Israel falls in the winter, after the Fall Festivals, but before the Passover. Later we will see symbolic aspects of this as well.
Scripture speaks of the early rains, and the latter rains. From a Western-Roman standpoint, one might think the earlier rains fall in the spring, and the latter rains fall in autumn. However, when we realize that the Hebrew year does not start until the spring, and that the Land of Israel is then normally sunny for at least six months, we see that the ‘earlier’ rains actually fall after the Fall Festival season, and the ‘latter’ rains fall just before the Passover, in the first month.
But when is rain more than just rain? In Joel 2:23, the word for the early ‘rain’ is מוֹרֶה (moreh), which is also the word for a teacher, or a teaching (i.e., instruction).
OT:4175 mowreh (mo-reh’); from OT:3384; an archer; also teacher or teaching; also the early rain [see OT:3138]:
The word for the latter rains is malqosh (מַלְקוֹשׁ), which translates figuratively as ‘eloquence.’
OT:4456 malqowsh (mal-koshe’); from OT:3953; the spring rain (compare OT:3954); figuratively, eloquence:
YHWH says, then, that He will give His teachings and His eloquence at the times of the early and the latter rains, which come just before the Spring festivals, and after the Fall ones.
But if YHWH gives instruction and eloquence at His festival times, are there other relationships between His feasts? Other relationships turn up if we match up these festivals and their associated traditions side-by-side, reading from left to right.
Spring Festivals > > > > > > Fall Festivals |

But why does YHWH not give all of the commandments regarding the festivals in one place, so we can understand what He wants more easily? The answer is that there are hidden messages in how the commands are laid out within the Torah.

In Exodus and Deuteronomy, the date of the festival is not given with regards to its numerical or ordinal date, but with regards to the agricultural season and the harvests. This is also why the tithe is mentioned in these passages, is that the tithe was also historically based on the harvests of the land, whether animal or vegetable.
Shemote (Exodus) 23:14-19
14 “Three times you shall keep a feast to Me in the year:
15 You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of the Aviv, for in it you came out of Egypt; none shall appear before Me empty);
16 and the Feast of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors which you have sown in the field; and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labors from the field.
17 “Three times in the year all your males shall appear before YHWH Elohim.
18 “You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; nor shall the fat of My sacrifice remain until morning.
19 The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring into the house of YHWH your Elohim. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
Exodus 34:18-24 gives us a similar set of commands, with the dates also being set with regards to the firstfruits of the land, both animal and vegetable.
Shemote (Exodus) 34:18-26
18 “The Feast of Unleavened Bread you shall keep. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the appointed time of the month of the Aviv; for in the month of the Aviv you came out from Egypt.
19 “All that open the womb are Mine, and every male firstborn among your livestock, whether ox or sheep.
20 But the firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb. And if you will not redeem him, then you shall break his neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed.
21 “Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.
22 “And you shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and theFeast of Ingathering at the year’s end.
23 “Three times in the year all your men shall appear before the Adon, YHWH Elohim of Israel.
24 For I will cast out the nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither will any man covet your land when you go up to appear before YHWH your Elohim three times in the year.
25 “You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leaven, nor shall the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover be left until morning.
26 “The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring to the house of YHWH your Elohim. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
Deuteronomy 16:1-15 follows this same pattern, by making reference to the animal and vegetable fruits of the land, and the harvest seasons.
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 16:1-15
1 “Observe the month of the Aviv, and keep the Passover to YHWH your Elohim, for in themonth of the Aviv YHWH your Elohim brought you out of Egypt by night.
2 Therefore you shall sacrifice the Passover to YHWH your Elohim, from the flock and the herd, in the place where YHWH chooses to put His name.
3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it; seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, that is, the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste), that you may remember the day in which you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
4 And no leaven shall be seen among you in all your territory for seven days, nor shall any of the meat which you sacrifice the first day at twilight remain overnight until morning.
5 “You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which YHWH your Elohim gives you;
6 but at the place where YHWH your Elohim chooses to make His name abide, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at twilight, at the going down of the sun, at the time you came out of Egypt.
7 And you shall roast and eat it in the place which YHWH your Elohim chooses, and in the morning you shall turn and go to your tents.
8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a sacred assembly to YHWH your Elohim. You shall do no work on it.
9 “You shall count seven weeks for yourself; begin to count the seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the grain.
10 Then you shall keep the Feast of Weeks to YHWH your Elohim with the tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you shall give as YHWH your Elohim blesses you.
11 You shall rejoice before YHWH your Elohim, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite who is within your gates, the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are among you, at the place where YHWH your Elohim chooses to make His name abide.
12 And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you shall be careful to observe these statutes.
13 “You shall observe the Feast of Tabernacles seven days, when you have gathered from your threshing floor and from your winepress.
14 And you shall rejoice in your feast, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant and the Levite, the stranger and the fatherless and the widow, who are within your gates.
15 Seven days you shall keep a sacred feast to YHWH your Elohim in the place which YHWH chooses, because YHWH your Elohim will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you surely rejoice.
Notice also how the festivals line up with what most Americans would traditionally call spring, summer, and fall. However, since there are really only two seasons in the Land of Israel, these dates actually line up with the transition time at the start of summer, mid summer, and the transition at the end of summer. These are the times when the crops come ready in the Land.
Pilgrimage Festival |

Start-of-summer transition |

Sukkot/Tabernacles |

However, while Exodus and Deuteronomy describe the feasts in relation to the agricultural harvests, Leviticus and Numbers simply tell us what month and day they should be held in. However, Leviticus and Numbers do give us the offerings the priests are to make in the Temple. If we study these offerings side by side, in a chart, we can begin to see some interesting parallels. First we will look at Numbers 25:10 thru 30:1.

Leviticus 23 (in Parasha Emor) is unique. It not only tells us what unique commandments are associated with each festival, but it also tells us which agricultural season each one of these special commandments falls into.

Leviticus 23:39-40 “… when you gather the produce of the land… and you shall take on the first day a goodly fruit….” |
We do not know for sure why YHWH does not give us all of the commandments for the festivals all in one place. However, we do know that there are many layers of spiritual implication to His timing.
Israel’s physical redemption from slavery in Egypt came in the spring. The springtime is also when Israel crossed the Jordan River, to enter the Land of Israel.
Spring is an interesting time. While some crops (such as barley) do grow and mature in winter, most crops lay dormant in the winter, and only begin to experience renewed growth in the spring. In much the same way, while YHWH does have some servants who may flourish and grow in the ‘winter’ (or in the ‘Wilderness’) the majority of Israelites need the warmth of spring before they can begin to grow and flourish.
However, just as spring only marks the onset of plant growth, we must also realize that our acceptance of Yeshua only marks the onset of our spiritual growth. Just as plant and animal life is also tenuous, salvation also is far from being certain. Each one of us needs to continue to work out his salvation in fear, and in trembling before the Father.
Kepha Aleph (1st Peter) 1:17-19
17 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear;
18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,
19 but with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
Tradition holds the Messiah will return on Yom Teruah, which is referred to as ‘the day and the hour which no man knows,’ at the end of the growing season.
Mattai (Matthew) 24:36
36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.
Revelation also seems to imply that Messiah will return at the time of the Fall Harvests, which is when the grapes and the olives come ripe. Some among Israel will have reached a similar state of maturity then.
Gilyana (Revelation) 14:17-19
17 Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.”
19 So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of Elohim.
Just as grapes and olives have but one short season in which to mature and come ready for the harvest, we also have just one short lifetime in order to become fit and worthy companions for the King above all kings. Let us seize the opportunity, knowing that we must work while it is still day, for soon the night will come, when no man can work.
Let us prepare ourselves for Him, and be ready before Him when He comes.

Ascribe Greatness to our Elohim

INTRODUCTION
| Since all doctrine or religious beliefs ought to be sustained by Sola Scriptura (by scripture alone), the unique focus of this publication is to weigh the evidence and prove each point of the set-apart name from the Scriptures alone. The topic of the set-apart name has not been exempt from those being overly zealous about tradition for proof of the exact pronunciation. |
| This publication takes into consideration all of Scripture upon the subject, the original and exact pronunciation is attainable (Deut. 29:29), as the Lawgiver Himself declared from Mt. Sinai. Not taking what is on the surface of several Bibles, but sinking the shaft deep into the mine of truth, comparing Scriptural names, translations, also considering historical evidences, putting them in their proper setting, allowing Scripture to reign paramount. |
| This book also touches on the importance of the set-apart name, and also the example set forth by our Saviour, how He reverenced His Father’s name. He certainly was not ashamed of it, as many seem to be. Nor did He over use it, but by His life and example sought to bring honour to it. |
| The object of this publication is to show the part that the set-apart name plays in the great controversy between truth and error; exposing the counterfeit which is promoted by principalities, powers, and academics in high places. It is also to help guide the pilgrim on his journey to the Promise Land and to the honour of Him who loved us, and gave Himself for us. |

Chapter One/ Index
Chapter 1The Set-Apart Name in the Three Angels MessageThe first angel’s message is, “Fear Elohim, and give honour to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come: and worship Him that made heaven and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.” Revelation 14:7Some think that preaching the importance of keeping the seventh day Sabbath is the Three Angels Message. Yes, it definitely includes the Sabbath, but there is more involved. There are principles laid out in this message. “Fear Elohim” implies that many are not fearing enough to obey Him; this further implies all points of Scripture that the Creator has given us to obey.Let’s use the seventh day Sabbath as an illustration. If man decides to sprinkle holy water on a day other than the seventh day Sabbath, and tries to say that it’s holy, which he has not the power to do, but might think he does; then if men honour this man made holy day, are they fearing Elohim? Of course not! This would be the fear of man, thus obeying because man might require it of you, even to the point of making it a law of the land. All of the afore-said about a man made holy day applies to Sunday keeping. Does it give honour to Elohim to observe a man made sabbath? No! Obedience is the highest form of worship! So if we obey a man made law, is this worship toward the Creator? Again a resounding “No!” Yet, this is what almost the whole Christian community is doing! Sunday is a day that man has set aside for worship, yet there is no Scriptural decree to make it a weekly sabbath. “Fear Elohim” means to tremble at His Word (see Isaiah 66:2).In His Word there is a commandment that our Creator has given, “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it set-apart. Six days shall thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of YAHUWAH thy Elohim.” Exodus 20:8-10The principle of the Three Angels Message is this: Fearing Elohim means to get back to and obey the original, as given by the Creator Himself; and put away the man made commandments and doctrines.The Sabbath is part of the Three Angels Message, and a major part; but the Three Angels Message includes the whole law.The same principles apply to the observance of Christmas. No where in Scripture is there a statute requiring us to set aside December 25, as a day to honour the birth of our Saviour! To the contrary, Paul said, “ye do show the Sovereign’s death till He come.” I Cor. 11 26; not His birth till He come. It is in the hearts of millions to honour this papal holiday, while the holidays of our Creator are despised. But if we truly fear Elohim, we should obey His statutes, one which states: “Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto Me in the year.” Exodus 23:14. But do we really tremble at His Word? Or, do we fear man, and what he might think of us if we actually started obeying the Creator.The principle is obeying the original commands given from our Creator, and putting away the man made statutes, that go contrary to His Word.This principle also applies to the set-apart name. Our Creator has given the original set-apart name for us to reverence. He spoke it with His own mouth from Mount Sinai when He spoke the ten commandments. The whole assembly heard it. That name is the original! But through language and culture and time man has thought to change the original pronunciation. Therefore we need to discover the original, so we can get back to it, and put away the man made names for the Creator.Really, if man makes up the name for the Creator, it is not much different from what the heathen used to do! The heathen would make up their god, and give it a name, and start worshipping it. In reality, making up a name for the Creator is not much different, it’s an attempt to create the Creator.Is it the fear of Elohim to give Him a name? Yea, it is the fear of Elohim to honour the name that He has given. Let’s let Elohim be Elohim.Part of fearing Elohim is to fear His name, as the Scripture says, “unite my heart to fear Thy name.” Psalm 86:11“Then they that feared YAHUWAH spake often one to another: and YAHUWAH hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared YAHUWAH, and that thought upon His name.” Malachi 3:16Let’s give honour to Him also! “Not unto us, O YAHUWAH, not unto us, but unto Thy name give honour, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth’s sake.” Psalm 115:1“I will praise thee, O Sovereign my Elohim, with all my heart: and I will honour Thy name for evermore.” Psalm 86:12“Who shall not fear thee, O YAHUWAH, and honour thy name? for Thou alone art set-apart: for all nations shall come and worship before Thee; for Thy judgments are made manifest.” Revelation 15:4The question is, will we fear Him now, while there is probation time? Or, will we fear Him only when it’s too late?Because the first angel’s message is not received, which is a message of truth, it is then that the second angel must sound, warning, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” Revelation 14:8. This gives additional force to the first message, because it is an expose’ of man-made errors.The third angel presses the same truth even further, declaring, “If any man worship (obey) the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Elohim, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the set-apart angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the print of his name.” Revelation 14:11 Tyndale BibleUltimately, it is the rejection of truth that souls end up lost. If souls heeded the first message “Fear Elohim”, and worship (obey) Him, no one would have to be warned about worshipping the beast and his image. Paul stated; “all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” Paul continues, “and for this cause Elohim shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie (something that is not the original): that they might be damned who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” II Thessalonians 2:10-12“Give unto YAHUWAH the honour due unto His name; worship YAHUWAH in the beauty of being set-apart.” Ps. 29:2“I am YAHUWAH: that is My name: My splendour will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images.” (inventions of man) Isaiah 42:8The fourth commandment contains the great seal. Compare the presidential seal below: |
(Set-Apart to YHWH). In other words, because it was first “in” their foreheads, later they are blessed with privilege of wearing it on their crown where the name is then “on” their foreheads.Chapter 5
FOUR VOWELS?
Josephus the Jewish historian wrote that the set-apart name consisted of “four vowels” (Jewish Wars, 5. 5. 7.). Why did Josephus write this? Please consider the following thoughts.
Remember, Josephus was writing to a Greek audience! He first wrote his history [at least his notes] in Hebrew Aramaic (Antiquities 12.5. 1-4 footnotes; Against Apion 1. 9). After the Jewish/Roman war, he had time, and with long perseverance, he mastered the Greek language, and compiled his history in Koine Greek, which was the international language of the world at that time. Though it was the international language, do not think it was the every day language in Israel, for it was not!
Josephus frequently altered Hebrew names, spelling them after the fashion of the Greeks, “to please [his Greek] readers” (Antiquities 1. 5. 1.). Josephus describes the head-gear worn by the Levitical priest:
“Of this was a crown made, as far from the hinder part of the head to each of the temples; but this … did not cover the forehead, but it was covered by a golden plate, which had inscribed upon it the Name of (Elohim) in SET-APART CHARACTERS.” (Antiquities 3. 7. 6. set-apart title and emphasis added).
The term HOLY CHARACTERS, means not just Hebrew letters, but the ancient Hebrew, known as Paleo-Hebrew, used in the time of Moses, and David.
Anciently, even the Greek language, like the Hebrew, was written from right to left. Also, the ancient Greek letters were similar to Paleo Hebrew. Therefore, the ancient Greek would have written the set-apart name very similar to the ancient Hebrew, which appeared like this: 
. The Modern Greek equivalent would be written IHYH, and understood as IEUE. But do not think that this, in any wise, proves the pronunciation of the set-apart name. Josephus was writing to the Greeks, the equivalent of YHWH. It was from this [Greek form] that the heathen formed their Jeue, Jove, and Jeve (see Adam Clarke’s Commentary on Exodus 3:14)
It is true that the letters 
, 
, 
can function as vowel letters. Let us consider a few examples: the yod acts as a vowel in the words “Eli” (Mt 27:46) also #430 Elohim, #4899 Mashiach, ish (Gen 2:23 margin KJV) etc. Yet it also functions as a consonant in other words like #3050 Yah, #2968 ya ab etc. Sometimes it acts as a vowel and a consonant all in the same letter, as in Eliyah, where it is a double yod.
“The is stronger and firmer than 
, and never loses it’s consonantal sound in a middle of a word . . . . On the other hand, at the end of a word it is always a mere vowel letter, unless expressly marked by Mappiq as a strong consonant.” (As in 
Yahh, and 
Eloahh) Gesenius’ Hebrew Grammarp. 81
The waw also can act as a vowel in words like #452 Eliyahu, #3194 Yutah etc.. It also carries the “o” sound, as in #3117 yom. On the other hand, it acts like a consonant in words like #2331 chavah, actually the consonant is not a V, but as in Arabic, or as the English sound of “w”.
Sometimes the acts like a vowel and a consonant all in the same letter; they can also be consonants, depending on the usage.
Concerning the Set-Apart Name, the structure of the letters tell us that the yod is a consonant, as in the word YAH (Ps. 68:4 & Isa. 12:2; 26:4; 38:11 NKJV). Also the is a consonant, since “it never loses it’s consonantal sound in the middle of a word.” Gesenius’ Hebrew Grammar p. 81
Also, the waw always acts as a consonant when ending words 
(except in Eloahh). When Hebrew-words end with “uah” sound, it is expressed in Hebrew as 
or 
; therefore, if the Hebrew word ends , it will always act as a consonant, ending like “wah” or “weh” etc.
The final in 
is the vowel letter in the set-apart name, “at the end of a word it is always a mere vowel letter.” Gesenius’ Hebrew Grammar p. 81
Conclusion: When Josephus said “four vowels”, he was talking to his Greek audience trying to express the Tetragrammaton in a way that they would comprehend, trans-letter-ating from Paleo-Hebrew
, which in Paleo Greek was
, then into modern Greek, thus arriving with IHYH (literally IEUE.) But this does not in any way prove the pronunciation of the set-apart name.
Chapter 6 / Index
Chapter 6
Proving the Set-Apart Name from Scripture Alone!
The first letter in the set-apart name () is a YOD; it can be seen in most Bibles just above Psalm 119:73.
The Saviour said, “Till heaven and earth pass, one YOD or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the torah, till all be fulfilled.” Matthew 5:18
When Bible translators put LORD in the place of the set-apart name (YHWH), they unknowingly attempted to make many YOD’s pass from the law. More specifically, when the Hebrew letter “Y” is turned into a “J”.
From my research, the “J” began to have a “g” sound in the English language about 1637, just after the King James Version came out. It was probably an attempt to out date this sharp sword. The King James Version later adjusted to keep up with the times. The “J” having a “g” sound, came about from the influence of the French, the long time enemy of Britain.
Noah Webster comments about the letter J: “This letter has been added to the English alphabet in modern days; the letter i being written formerly in words where j is now used. It seems to have had the sound of “y” in many words as it still has in the German.” 1828 American Dictionary
“JAH” the first part of the set-apart name is seen in the King James Version in Psalm 68:4, as in the word Hallelujah, meaning, “Praise ye YAH” as seen in the New King James Version in Psalm 68:4 & Isa. 12:2; 26:4; 38:11. Again, Noah Webster comments about this word HALLELUIAH: “This word is improperly written with j, in conformity with the Germans and other continental languages, in which j has the sound of y. But to pronounce the word with the English sound of j destroys it’s beauty. The like mistake of the sound of j in Jehovah, Jordan, Joseph, has perverted the true pronunciation, which was Yehovah, Yordan, Yoseph. This perversion must now be submitted to, but in Halleluiah it ought not to be tolerated.” 1828 American Dictionary
Any forester will tell you that J-rooted trees that have been forced or jammed into the ground by a careless tree planter will not grow well. When a dry spell comes along, often it is the J-rooted trees that die. Or, if the tree does live, the growth is really set back.
It is not the will of our Creator to be J-rooted; it is not His will that our spiritual growth should be set back or retarded by this J error. His will for us is to dig deep in Scripture and be rooted and grounded in the love of the truth. The old paths. (See Jeremiah 6:16)
“Those that be planted in the house of YAHUWAH shall flourish in the courts of our Elohim.” Psalm 92:13
When the spirit of Eliyah comes, the Set-Apart Spirit will cause us, “To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of YAHUWAH, that He might be magnified.” Isaiah 61:3
The Paleo YOD (
), which looks like a Flying J, had a Y sound!
The Messiah foretold that before His second coming, the spirit of Eliyah would first come, “and restore all things.” Matthew 17:11 & Malachi 4:5. Certainly the Y sound would be restored in the set-apart name.

So far, we have established from Scripture that the first part of the set-apart name is YAH (from Ps. 68:4); there are 137 Israelite names with “yah”, and there is also the word Halleluyah. Therefore, the first part cannot be “Yeh”! It is interesting to note that the heathen or Greeks in their hymns, in honor of Apollo, began and ended with 
, eleleu Ie, a mere corruption of the Hebrew word Halleluyah (see Clarke’s Commentaryunder Revelation 19:1).
Also consider the “IE” in the first two letters of IHS which is actually IES in Greek!
Ies was also a surname for Bacchus.2
Another consideration is YEHWE ZOGBANU – In Dahomean mythology, a forest giant, which had thirty horns and was a threat to hunters.3
The “Yeh” and/or “Yeho” came in with the Jewish cover up of our Heavenly Father’s Name.
To be safe, let’s hold fast to the Scriptural YAH! YAH is the short form of the great set-apart name; an extended form is seen in the King James Version where the translators hid a clue for the true pronunciation in the very story of the set-apart name show down on Mt. Carmel. In the margin of I Kings 17:1, we see the name Elijahu. Translators tell us that the first part of this name “Eli” means “my God” See Matthew 27:46. Thus, the last part jahu or yahu is in reference to the set-apart name. Elijah’s name means “my El or Elohim is YAHUWAH”.
The Saviour said, “It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true” (John 8:17). Thus, the King James translators hid for us two witnesses that give us a clue to the true pronunciation of the set-apart name, not just one. Look in I Kings 18:3 margin, where we see the nameObadiahu, which name means “servant of YAHUWAH.” But there is more!

Anciently, names not only ended with “yahu”, but also began with “Yahu”; this was determined by comparing other languages like Arabic and Cuneiform.
Jehoahaz — “An inscription of Tiglathpileser III records tribute being received from Iauhazi (mat) Ia-u-da-a
‘Jehoahaz of Judah’. The Illustrated Bible Dictionary
Jehoiachio–“In Babylon, Jehoiachin was treated as a royal hostage. He is named (Yau-kin) in Bab. tablets, dated 595 and 570 BC, as receiving rations at the court in company with his five sons.” The Illustrated Bible Dictionary
Jehonuthan— “The name occurs in Cuneiform records as Yahu-natunnu.” Seventh-day Adventist BIBLE DICTIONARY
Jehu-– “Cuneiform Ia-u-a.” The New Brown-Driver-Briggs-Gesenius Hebrew English Lexicon. In Arabic, Jehu was pronounced “Yahu”. See Hastings Dictionary of the Bible. All this evidence and more, suggest that “Yahu” was used at the beginning of names, instead of the more modem Jewish “Yeho” cover up of the set-apart name. Therefore, the 27 following names are restored to their original pronunciation.

Next Letter
U, V or W?
Was the sixth Hebrew letter developed from two uu’s put together? Of course not! However, it is true that our English W developed from two uu’s or vv’s put together; this is why it is called double u. But we English speaking people have to use this letter W to convey the ancient sound of in Hebrew and 
in Arabic etc.
The Oxford English Dictionary lists two columns worth of information about the English W, explaining how it developed from two uu’s put together, then a statement toward the end: “1869 ELLIS E.E. Pron, I. iii. 187 In Europe (w) is thought to be peculiar to England… In Arabic however (w) is quite at home.”
“. . . the sound of , a long time ago, wasn’t ‘vav’ at all; but ‘w’, and ‘w’ is weak. . . The Yemenite Jews of Arabia, who retain an ancient, correct and pure pronunciation of Hebrew, still pronounce the as ‘w’ -as does Arabic, the close sister language of Hebrew.” How the Hebrew LanguageGrew p. 29, 30
Why do many Jews today contend that the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is a V? According to the Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament, and other reference materials, it is because of German influence. “The German (Ashkenazic) influence arose within the last 1800 years, after the Jews were dispersed in 135 CE. As Jewish communities gradually developed in Eastern, Central and Western Europe, German influence eventually made its mark on the Hebrew language.” The Sixth Letter is Waw (study by Voy Wilks 3/3/96)
There are, generally speaking, two main pronunciations: the Ashkenazi, or German, originated by Central and Eastern European Jews, carried to all countries to which those Jews have emigrated (Western Europe, America, etc.): and the Sephardi, or Spanish, used by the Jews of Spanish or Portuguese stock in Europe and America and also by Jews from Oriental countries. In all the universities and throughout Israel, the Sephardic pronunciation has been adopted, since it is generally believed that this is the pronunciation nearest to the original….” Biblical Hebrew p. 33 by Menahem Mansoor
The shape of the letter V came from the design on the back of the cobra.
But when did the sound “V” come into use? Consider the following argument! The original set-apart name was pronounced Yahuwah (which we will seek to prove in the continuation of this book). Clement of Alexandria (c.150-c.215) transliterated from the original set-apart name of the Hebrew language into Greek as 
(Iaoue), the Greeks had a tendency to put an “e” on the end of names, as seen in the New Testament, which only the KJV points out. Names like Noe (Matt. 24:37), Osee (Rom 9:25), Jude (NT Book), Core (Jude 11) etc; which, according to the Old Testament, were Noah, Hosea, Judah, and Korah. But obviously Clement was transliterating from the Hebrew at a time when the had a W sound. Later on, Theodoret (c.390-455) and Epiphanius (c.315-404) transliterated the set-apart name as 
(Iabe); a couple of hundred years had passed since Clement, and they must have been transliterating at the time that the Hebrew had adopted the V.
Original Hebrew Name: YAHUWAH
Clement transliterates into Greek:
Later Theodoret & Epiphanius:
Probably transliterating from Hebrew with “v”: YAH VAH
“From Latin v, which was at first bilabial (voiced like ‘b’ using the lips), but became labiodental (using the bottom lip to the teeth) in the 2d century A.D.”4
So, from the quote above, we learn that even in Latin the V did not come into use until the second century, and also comparing Clement with Theodoret and Epiphanius, using Iaoue and labe, we can see when this change of V came in. But the question we must ask is: “What pronunciation did have when the Creator spoke the ten commandments from Mt. Sinai? What about the Hebrew that Abraham spoke? Or Noah? Or Adam, which he had learned from YHWH Himself?” Obviously, it was the more ancient pronunciation that our English W conveys, which even the American Indians retained in their language from the original; for at one time, “the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.” (Gen 11:1). Place names in America bare this out, such as Waxahachie Tex, Nowata Ok, Hiawassee Ga, Wewoka Ok, Iowa etc.
“…The Hebrew letter waw can function as a consonant or a vowel. When the waw is a consonant, it sounds like w, as in water, and usually has a vowel sign under it. . . When the waw functions as a vowel, it has the sound of o as in row or oo as in pool. With a dot above it, the waw sounds likeo as in row: 
. With a dot in its center, the waw sounds like oo as in pool 
. Note: This dot in the center of the waw is not a daghesh (a dot in the center that indicates that the letter is doubled, in such a case a vowel mark is also beneath that letter)… When a waw functions as a vowel, sounded o or oo, it does not have the sound of w as in water. The , like the waw, can be both vowel and consonant.” A Simple Approach To Old Testament Hebrew, p. 9
“The Semitic and are certainly, by usage, consonants; although by nature they are vowels, viz. u and i and consequently are consonantal vowels.” Gesenius’ Hebrew Grammar p. 26
There is a structural system in Hebrew, depending on the arrangement, whether it was a vowel or a consonant; which existed before vowel points were used, also during the time when the paleo-waw 
was used.
The point to be made is this: “Was our Creator influenced by the German (Ashkenazi) speech, when He delivered His name on Mt. Sinai?” Of course not! Man is notorious for altering that which has gone out of the Creator’s lips (Review Ps. 89:34). He made it plain, “I change not.” Malachi 3:6, thus we understand that the Creator was not the one who changed the to a vav. In the Father of lights, there “is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” James 1:17; likewise with His only begotten Son “YAHUSHUA the Messiah the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” Hebrew 13:8.
Not only did the Jews change the waw (W) to vav (V), but in recent times have also changed the Hebrew B to V as well. Therefore, Abraham becomes Avraham, and Yacob becomes Yacov, Tel Abib becomes Tel Aviv, and everyone gets confused. Did we really need two v’s in Modern Hebrew?
So far, using Scripture and history, we have established YaHuW. But, the question might be asked, “Can the waw sustain the ‘u’ and the ‘w’ all in the same letter?” Consider the following illustration with the words Phuvah, (more accurate Phuwah) or should it be Puah? The same Hebrew word is transliterated both ways; even the Bible scholars were baffled as to the true way to transliterate from Hebrew on this point. This point needs to be understood, to understand the set-apart name.
Phuwah or Puah?
The waw, with a dot in the center and with a vowel sign under it 
, is a “strengthened consonant” (the older term of doubling). “The u is, however, easily to be recognized, since it cannot take a vowel before or under it.” Gesenius Hebrew Grammar p. 55

The Point Made With Phuwah: Tested, Tried and True
The translation, I AM THAT I AM, has three parts; therefore, the name has three parts (or syllables) and is vowel pointed 
Now, to give an explanation:
The letter *waw* does not carry the “oo” sound, because the markings are beneath the letter *he*:
. The is doubled, indicated by the dot in the center and vowel mark beneath (Example, see Strong’s Heb. #2332). Now, this is how the “huw” and the “wah” are combined all in the same letter.
This may seem hard to comprehend, but it is absolutely proper Hebrew grammar. This same situation appears in many other names like Eliyahu. The “i” and the “y” are both indicated by a double 
(yod):
The dot in the center of the , with the vowel mark Qamets beneath it, indicates that this is a double yod. The dot beneath the 
(see arrow above) indicates that the first yod is a vowel, and the second yod is a consonant (Eliyahu).
Elihu (#453) has the same Hebrew letters as Eliyahu (#452), the only difference is a double yod. The vowel marking indicates that the yod has a vowel sound, else it would read Elyahu instead of Elihu. The same principle applies to the Tetragrammaton, as it does to Eliyahu; instead of the yod, the waw is doubled, but is written only once. The first is a vowel sound of (
), indicated by the with three dots under it. The second is a consonant sound of “w”.
Thus, the name is perfectly transliterated Yah?wwah, written in English as Yahuwah. Compare Strong’s #6312
Proving the Set-Apart Name From
HEBREW GRAMMAR RULES
Josephus, the Jewish historian, seems to refer to the tetragrammaton as consisting of four vowels (Wars of the Jews, 5. 5. 7)
We already covered this in a previous chapter, but briefly, Josephus himself admitted to frequently altering Hebrew names, spelling them after the Greek fashion “to please [his Greek] readers.” (Antiquities 1.6. 1.)
“Why Josephus speaks of ‘four vowels’ is uncertain. The first and third letters are probably ‘by nature vowels’ (= i and u), though by usage, consonants (Gesenius, Heb. Grammar, ed. Cowley, pp. 26,45). He is perhaps thinking of a Greek form (
).” Wars of the Jews 5. 5. 7. footnote; edition Loeb Classical Library
The first letter in the set-apart name is a consonant, the “Y” in YAH, and in the word Halleluyah.
RULE #1 “ can never be a vowel letter in the middle of a word.” Gesenius Hebrew Grammar p. 56.
This means that this letter must be a consonant, and have a vowel following it, such as ‘ho’, ‘hu’ ‘he’, ‘ha’ etc.
RULE #2 Since the in the middle of a word is always a consonant, this means that in the set-apart name, there must be three syllables.
“The vowel letters ,, , and , as such, naturally do not close a syllable … On the other hand, syllables are closed by the consonantal and Gesenius Hebrew Grammar p. 75
“Assimilation” usually takes place when one consonant, which closes a syllable, passes over into another, beginning the next syllable, and forms with it a strengthened letter.” Gesenius Hebrew Grammar p. 68
“Stade, Lehrb. der hebr. Gr., Lpz 1879, pp. 44, 103, rightly insists on the expression strengthened pronunciation instead of the older termdoubling, since the consonant in question is only written once. The common expression arises from the fact that in transcription a strengthened consonant can only be indicated by writing it as doubled.” Ibid p. 55 footnote
This means that in the set-apart name Yahuwah, the must be a consonant, because it closes a syllable and opens a new one; and therefore it becomes a strengthened consonant written , or doubled.
“Waw with Deges () cannot, in our printed texts, be distinguished from waw pointed as Sureg (); in the latter case the point should stand higher up. The u is, however, easily to be recognized since it cannot take a vowel before or under it. Ibid p. 55 footnote
When a Hebrew word ends ““, the waw is almost always a consonant after such an arrangement. Example: Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary lists no words that end with “uah” spelled in Hebrew . The sound always ends 
, , . However, there is an exception to the waw being a consonant after such an arrangement, that is Eloahh #433, and is spelled 
, but please notice the 
is dotted in the center, meaning that it is a consonant.
“A point in the bosom of is called Mappiyq (mappeek). It occurs only in the final vowelless letter of a few words, and we have it represented by hh” Strong’s Concordance, Introduction to the Hebrew Dictionary.
RULE #3 Unless the is dotted with the Mappiyq, “at the end of a word, it is always a mere vowel letter.” Gesenius Hebrew Grammar p. 81
Yahuwah fits all the Hebrew Grammar Rules!

The note in the margin of the 1599 Geneva Bible sums it up well. “The [El] which ever have been, am and shall be: the [El] Almighty, by whom all things have their being, and the [El] of mercy, mindful of My promise.” Ex 3:14
Which is the most accurate is not what I wish to dwell on; the point is that from the Hebrew words AHAYAH ASHER AHAYAH, we can derive the true pronunciation of the set-apart name. It is the interpretation, definition, explanation, translation, or meaning of the set-apart name.
Though the Scofield Bible footnote on Gen. 2:4 uses Yahwe (?), it also states that the name is from “havah”, or more accurate “hawah”.
According to Gesenius Hebrew English Lexicon, pp.219-22, the Hebrew characters and vowel points used, one can see the NAME is derived from (hawah), and from (hayah), meaning to EXIST, SELF EXISTING.
“Many critics contend for Hebrew: Yahveh, some for Yahvah, and some for Yahaveh. It is generally derived from havah, an old form of haiah,meaning ‘He is’. The import of the name is explained in the book of Exodus: ‘And (Elohim) said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM …’ (Ex. 3:14, thereby predicating self-existance in a sense in which it can be applied to no created being.” The American Peoples Encyclopedia Vol. II, page 599 (1952)
Many more references could be given as pointed out by Young’s and Strong’s Concordances, Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedia, and Gesenius’ Hebrew English Lexicon, page 337, 338. The name is derived from hawah (ha WAH). Combining Yah with Wah, we have the first and last part of YAHUWAH.
A statement by Alexander MacWhorter of Yale University in his book, Memorial Name, published in 1857, harmonizes with this, as he said the NAME is derived from the Hebrew verb “havah”, the OLD FORM of “hayah”, meaning to EXIST or SELF EXISTING ONE. This passage from Exodus 3:14 has not two parts, but three. Many have not noticed the middle section of the translation I AM THAT I AM. In Hebrew Asher means: who, which, what, that, are, etc. Another Hebrew word that often means the same thing is #1931 huw. Huw also means: this or that, which (is), who and he etc.
Huw and asher often mean the same thing, or can interchange. Example: compare the following passages and usage’s of asher and huw.
“And Elohim saw every thing that (asher) He made, and, behold, it was very good.” Gen 1:31.
“And the gold of that (huw) land is good.” Gen. 2:12.
“Behold, Rebekah came out, who (asher) was born to Bethuel.” Gen. 24:15
“Now these are the generations of Esau, who (huw) is Edom.” Gen 36:1
See by these examples both asher and huw can interchange with each other!
THE TESTIMONY OF TWO MEN IS TRUE. (Jn. 8:17)
Not only does Moses give us a translation of the set-apart name, but so does the prophet John in the book of Revelation, which gives us a revelation of the set-apart name. Notice the marginal reference in Revelation 1:4 to Exodus 3:14, where the translators were hinting and telling us that this is another translation of the set-apart name. Although the true chronological arrangement of time, past, present and future, is found in Revelation 4:8, “which was, and is, and is to come.” See also the other passages of the same, in Revelation chapters 1:8; 11:17; 16:5. Some of the new versions omit “and art to come” in Rev. 11:17 & 16:5. John warned them not to take out any portion lest Elohim take away their part out of the book of life. See Revelation 22:19
Thus it becomes ultra important to have all three parts of the translation included as our proof for determining the true original set-apart name.
Which was,which is, and which isto come
# 1961 hayah; was, to exist, to be, come to pass
#1931 huw; he, which (is), who, that
#1933, 34 hawah; to be, to exist, come to pass
HAYAH HUW HAWAH
YAH HUW WAH
YAHUWAH
Now that we have carefully considered both translations, we can also begin the process of elimination. If the set-apart name were Yahowah, which might be a corruption of the set-apart name, but cannot be the original, for then the translation must read “I AM oh I AM” or “I Am alas I Am,” since the Hebrew word “how” #1930 (pronounced ho) and means Oh and/or alas.
Notice in the translation of Exodus 3:14, “I AM” is repeated, thus in the set-apart name YAH is repeated with WAH, both YAH and WAH mean basically the same thing. In Hebrew the Y and W can interchange and yet the same meaning is preserved. A couple of examples from Scripture are in order.
Take the name Dodavah, II Chronicles 20:37 (more proper Dodawah), which means love of Yah. Which part of this name means Yah? The wah of course! Let’s do another. Hodevah (more accurate Hodewah) means majesty of Yah. Again the testimony of two men is true.
Are there Hebrew words where the (yod) and the (waw) are interchangeable and the meaning remains the same or similar?
The translation of the Father’s Name is “I AM that I AM.” Notice that “I AM” is repeated. Since Strong’s H#1961 (hayah) and #1933-1934 (hawah) both mean “to exist,” His Name covers the aspect of His past, present and future existence. So, in the Father’s Name, Yah is repeated with Wah. Are the yod (y) and the waw (w) interchangeable? Let’s find out… Remember, Hebrew is read from right to left.
Sometimes scholars get it right though they come at it from a different angle.
“Among etymologies proposed, S. Mowinckel and J. Montgomery contend that the name is a compound, yahu or yahuwah, ‘O He!’. “6 (An Arabic angle). James Montgomery shows sort of a secondary translation in his study THE HEBREW DIVINE NAME AND THE PERSONAL PRONOUN HU, where he touches on the basic theme “I am YHWH” and it’s parallel, “I am He”.7 Tracing the Biblical references in Deuteronomy 32:39 for “I am He” to Isa. 41:4; 43:10, 13; 46:4; 48:12.
It is also interesting to note that when Judas and the band of officers came looking for YAHUSHUA in the garden of Gethsemane: “YAHUSHUA therefore knowing all things that should come upon Him, went forth, and said unto them, ‘Whom seek ye?’ They answered Him and said, ‘YAHUSHUA of Nazareth.’ YAHUSHUA saith unto them, ‘I am He….’ As soon then as He said unto them ‘I am He’, they went backward, and fell to the ground.” (John 18:5,6). The possibility does exist here that He spoke the set-apart name. The Greek words are the same as used in John 8:58, “Before Abraham was, I am,” which is the same Greek usage the Septuagint uses in Exodus 3:14, “THE BEING”. There is more from the book of John:
“If ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins.” John 8:24.
“When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am He.” Jn 8:28. See also Jn 4:26; 9:9; 13:19
The King James translators knew this, and thus italicized “He” to indicate this connection with Ex. 3:14.
The main thing this bares out is that “He” in Hebrew is “Hu”, thus verifying the element Hu instead of “Ho” in the set-apart name.

Evidence for Yahweh
Several Early Greek Writers?
What’s wrong with the following statement? “Several early Greek writers of the Christian Church testify that the name was pronounced Yahweh.” The Modern Judaica Encyclopedia, Vol. 7 p. 679
YHWH is a Hebrew name!
On the surface the above quote sounds pious doesn’t it? Very few scholars detected anything. Who were these Greek writers?
“The pronunciation, Yahweh, is indicated by the transliteration of the name into Greek in early Christian literature. . .’by Clement of Alexandria, and by Theodoret. . . . Strictly speaking, Yahweh is the only name of god.” The New Bible Dictionary p. 478 by J.D. Douglas. Not mentioned in the quote, but also used for evidence for Yahweh, is Epiphanius (who wrote Iabe) and Origen who wrote (Iae).
The Catholic Church quoted fairly:”… Judging from Greek transcriptions, the Set-Apart Name .. . YHWH ought to be pronounced Yahweh.” 8
Gesenius stated in his Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon “this same form appears on the gems of the Egyptian Gnostics as the name of God . . .[but these gems are not of the most remote antiquity; they are the work of heretics of the second and third centuries].” (brackets not supplied) under #3068 Jehovah
Clement of Alexandria was a teacher of the Gnostic’s; Origen was one of his students. The Masons and Catholics alike claim Clement, Origen, Theodoret and Epiphanius as the forefathers of their faith.
Simon Magus (Acts 8:9-24) was the father of Gnostic heresies, also pseudo-messiah, he was a teacher who went to Rome and taught angelology and astrology.
The school in Alexandria was mixing paganism in the true apostolic faith and promoting “sun worship.” It was the school of Gnosticism that prepared the way for the Papacy to be established. Constantine was also a Gnostic Christian. Some of their heretical beliefs:
Predestination from astrology! The body could never be saved! That prophets were not dependable for inspiration! They believed in magic!Believed in speaking in tongues like today’s charismatics, which does not edify believers in truth! Sprinkling instead of baptism by immersion! Sunday worship! Hatred for the Torah!
The Jesuits restored Gnosticism in the Council of Trent:
“The Society of Jesus proposed to subordinate the Holy Scriptures and in their place substitute the interpretations of the Bible by the ecclesiastical writers of the first centuries whom they call the ‘fathers’. All the errors and vagaries of the allegorizers who confused and darkened the first three centuries were selected. The first great papal council which assembled after the Reformation, the Council of Trent (A.D. 1545-1563), was dominated by the Jesuits. This assembly laid down the law, and no papal authority has dared since to dispute it.” Truth Triumphant p. 317
Why use Greek writers for evidence anyway? Greeks were notorious for altering Hebrew names.

The Roman Catholic Douay version was largely based on the Greek Septuagint and thus many names ended with an “e”.
Though the Greeks loved to walk around in white pretentious robes, our Creator labeled them as a kingdom with spots “like a leopard.” Dan. 7:6. Can the leopard change his spots? (Jer. 13:23). How then can they do good that are accustomed to do evil, including changing names? Our Creator knew that the Grecians would seek to remove the children of Israel far from their border! YAHUSHUA is coming back for a glorious congregation “not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Eph 5:27
In the last days our Creator said: “I will turn to the people a pure language.” For what purpose? “That they may call upon the name of YAHUWAH, to serve Him with one consent.” Zephaniah 3:9. What language should we consult to derive the true pronunciation of the set-apart name? Certainly not the Greek! However Scripture tells us which language it is.
Thus saith YAHUWAH of hosts, “In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all the languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Yahudi, saying, ‘We will go with you: for we have heard that Elohim is with you.'” Zechariah 8:23. It seems strange that scholars only mention the evidence of the early Greek writers. Why do they not give all the other evidences?
The evidence from Origen is “Iae”, but this was also the name of a pagan god. In the Dictionary of World Mythology by Cotterell under Kuat, who is “The sun god in Kamaiuran mythology.” We find that “Iae” was the moon god, and brother to Kuat. Strange that Origen came up with this, when Clement his teacher used Iaoue.
“Clement, most famous of the Alexandrian college faculty and teacher of Origen, boasted that he would not teach Christianity unless it were mixed with pagan philosophy.” Truth Triumphant p. 47
The Greek language does not even have a “Y” sound, or an H sound in the middle of a word, nor a W, nor an “sh” sound. Neither did the Latin have a W sound, nor an “sh” sound. Therefore many early believers contended that the Messiah’s name could only be pronounced from the Hebrew correctly.
Celsus, a pagan editorialist who lived about 185 C. E., finds fault with Christians, and so reports that many of their beliefs are from Jews, paganism and folly. Upon reading through his book, however, it is obvious that what Celsus calls “Christian” is not always what we would call a believer today. Celsus lumps everybody together. Celsus is obviously categorizing together both those who claim to be Christians and those in the Faith once transmitted to the Apostles. Regardless of the distinction, he comments, “… they assume that by pronouncing the name of their teacher they are armored against the powers of the earth and air and that their God will send armies to protect them….And they are quite insistent on the efficacy of the name as a means of protection: pronounce it improperly, they say, and it is ineffective. Greek and Latin will not do; it must be said in a barbaric tongue to work.” Celsus, On the True Doctrine, [Joseph Hoffman, Translator, Oxford University Press, 1987] page 118.
Since Celsus ridicules the Jewish faith and the Jewish race, it seems he considered them to be the lowest forms of human life on earth. Thus, the language referred to as “barbaric” can be none other than Hebrew.
The fact is that the early Gnostic Greek writers did not speak according to the law and the testimony. How could they? They hated it. Thus they had no light in them. If you ask the Greek writers what the set-apart name is, you will get several different answers. Some would say, Iaoue, or Iape, or Iao, or Iae, or, Iaoth, or as Philo, the one who amalgamated Judaism and mythology producing Gnosticism said, the name was “leuo”. Does it seem like they really knew what the set-apart name was!?!
“Alexandria and Antioch were always antagonists, Alexandria presenting a mystical transcendentalism and promoting the allegorical interpretation of the Scriptures; Antioch insisting on the grammatico-historical interpretation of the Scriptures, and having no sympathy with mystical modes of thought.” A Manuel of Church History, Vol. 1, p. 297
This quotation shows a bit of the background of what we are dealing with concerning the name Yahweh. Clement of Alexandria said: “The name of God too, among the Greeks, contains four letters.” Stromata, Book V Chap. VI. The English text shows “Jave”.
Often, it can be seen in various literature like the Catholic Encyclopedia and The Jehovah Witness Bible- the elegant edition where they show the form “Jahve”. We have already seen how the “J” began having a “g” sound about the middle of the 17th century; before that it was a fancy i, often having a y sound. Earlier words with “J” were spelled with “I”, thus Jove would be spelled Iove and pronounced Yahve, the priests have introduced it to the Spanish community as Yave.
According to Noah Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary, under the word ALLELUIAH, we learn that “Io” is a corruption of Jah or Yah.
How Long Halt Ye Between Two Opinions?
“There are two opinions as to what was the actual pronunciation of the set-apart name while Hebrew was still a spoken language. On the one hand, we may gather from the contemporary Assyrian monuments that it was pronounced “Yahu.” Wherever an Israelitish name is met with in the cuneiform inscriptions which, like Jehu or Hezekiah is compounded with the heavenly title, the latter appears as Yahu; Jehu being Yahua, and Hezekiah Khazaki-yahu. Even according to the Masoretes it must be read Yeho (that is, Yahu) when it forms part of a proper name. The early Greek characters, wrote Iao (that is, Yaho). On the other hand, the four consonants, YHVH, can hardly have been pronounced otherwise, than as Yahveh; and this pronunciation is supported by the two Greek writers Theodoret and Epiphanios, who say that the word was sounded Yave. The form Yahveh, however, is incompatible with the form Yahu (Yeho), which appears in proper names.” The Century Cyclopedia (1900)
However, Professor Eerdman’s article showed that it is not safe to follow the Samaritan pronunciation advocated by Theodoret and Epiphanius, because the Samaritans were opposed to the Jewish way. “They built their own temple on Gerizim and had their own priesthood. They thwarted the Jews whenever they could. On the count of their attitude, we may safely assume that the Samaritans had their own [different] pronunciation of the holy name. For this reason the Samaritan pronunciation should not have been regarded [by modem scholars] as evidence for the Jewish pronunciation.” Quoted in The Good News Nov-Dec 1972 (Magazine of The World Wide Church of God).

The Scripture teaches that the deadly wound would be healed (Revelation 13:7), and upon its heads the “names” of blasphemy (Rev. 13:1 margin & 17:3).
In the end time scenario, the Scripture says of the beast, that “he opened his mouth in blasphemy against Elohim, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven [including Moses and Eliyahu], “And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues (languages), and nations.” Revelation 13:6, 7. But in the book of Daniel it brings out that while YAHUSHUA is in the Most Set-Apart place in the heavenly sanctuary before the Ancient of Days, “there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him.” Dan. 7:14. Languages can serve YAHUSHUA by following the rules of transliteration, letter for letter, sound for sound, from the Hebrew as near as possible, regarding the set-apart name issue.
“I will turn to the people a pure language, that they may call upon the name of YAHUWAH, to serve Him with one consent.” Zeph. 3:9
It does seem strange that the name Dios can be perfectly preserved, letter for letter, sound for sound, from ancient Greece to modern day Mexicans. Why was not this same special care given to the name of the Creator of heaven and earth?!?
Today the Spanish call “Dios” the Creator, but in old time this was the name of Zeus or Jupiter. The Greek word behind “Jupiter” in Acts 14:13 is 
, also the same of II Maccabees 6:2. Anciently the Hebrews would rather die than worship “Dios”, which they did; you can read about it in the Maccabee story. Also the Spanish call the Saviour 
, pronounced “Heh soos”; that’s odd, the supreme god of the Druids was called Hesus.
Why is this? “Jesuit missionaries played a crucial role in taking Catholicism to Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Jesuit scholars made contributions to philosophy, language studies, and especially theology.” Encyclopedia Americana
This explains why the precious Spanish folk call on these various gods.
Today the Spanish scholars and priests are teaching the set-apart name is 
which is pronounced the same as 
.
In 1672, Wilkins National Religion p. 51, “Believing but one supreme Deity, the Father of all subordinate powers:.. whom they call Jupiter or Jove, with plain reference to the Hebrew name Jehovah.” Oxford English Dictionary, under “Jove'”.
In the book Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop, it shows that “Jove” was used as the set-apart name, see pages 26 & 73.
The Catholic scholars and monks have no problem with the form Yahweh! As a matter of fact, they are evangelizing it! It is contained in their New Jerusalem Bible and in their New American Bible in Genesis 22:14 and Exodus 17:15 etc.
In the Greek Dictionary of Strong’s Concordance #2203, we find that “Jove” is a name for Jupiter or Zeus!? Yet in Numbers 21:14 of Orginenis Hexapla, in the place of the tetragrammaton is found the word “Jovae”.
When the “a” comes before the “e” such as the above, it is a hint to the old style of their combining the letters such as, ae, as in “Judaea”; others spell it “Judea”, while the old good quality King James Versions combine them as “Judaea”.
The oldest form of Jove is spelled “Ioue”. If these four vowels are said fast enough, as today’s modem promoters teach, you will say “Yahweh!”
How can commandment keepers, living in the closing scenes of earth’s history, who profess to love the appearing of the Sovereign YAHUSHUA in the great clouds of glory, be sympathetic to a name that was invented or made up by men’s hands? Especially the Greeks and Gnostics, at that! How can we be sympathetic to the gods of the Romish church?
In Summary
So far we have considered if the last part of the name should have an “a” at the end or an “e”. Using Scripture alone, the translation suggests an “a” because “I AM” is repeated; therefore YAH would be repeated with WAH. The Greek evidence suggests a “WEH” ending.
But what about all the evidences and forms of the set-apart name from around the world other than the Greek? What about Latin scholars? What about Sabbath keepers in Western Europe? What about the Arabs? What about the American Indians and more? How is it that scholarship overlooks these evidences, and looks only to the Greek? The next several chapters will examine some of these other evidences.

Testimonies to the Historic “a” Sound
At the End of the Set-Apart Name
At about 1516 Peter Galitin felt that he made a great discovery, that the set-apart name was more accurately pronounced IEHOVAH; from this point forward reformers felt they were on to a new revelation of the set-apart name. William Tyndale slipped it in his Bible of 1530 in a few places. Other Bibles like Coverdale, 1599 Geneva Bible, and the 1611 King James Version followed in succession. This was due to the learning of Hebrew by Peter Galitin, and reading the vowel points of the Masoretic Hebrew text.
The name Yehovah had the vowel points of another word, because Jewish scribes in the Dark Ages placed vowel points above and below the four letters to remind the reader to say Adonai (Lord) instead of the set-apart name. Peter Galitin did not know this, he just simply read it the way it was written.
But, before 1516 Roman scholars and theologians in the 1400’s and 1500’s used the form Jova, before that it was Iova, and before that it was Ioua,(Which form is seen in the Oxford English Dictionary under Jehovah). The sentence is in Latin, and reads:
“Non enim he quatuor liter si ut punctate sunti, legantur, Ioua reddunt: sed (ut ipsi optime nosti) Iehoua efficiunt].”
The sentence basically translates: “Not certain here of four letter (or) if in what manner to punctuate with marks the magnificent leger, Iouaredundant: apart from what manner He is able to do. Until then Iehova will suffice.”
Also a book called Origen’s Hexapla (not the original), but put together by Roman theologians in the 16th century, the text shows Jova Deus.
Also in 1278, Raymundus Martini came out with a book called Pugiofidei (Daggar of Faith), wherein he spelled the name Yohoua. Some time after, in 1303, Porchetus de Salvaticus completed a work called Victoria Porcheti adversus impios Hebraeos (Porchetus’ Victory Against the Ungodly Hebrews). In this book he also referred to the name spelling it variously Iohouah, lohoua and Ihouah.
It shall now be admitted that these forms are not necessarily from the best of sources, nor are they very old, but are from Catholic writers during the Dark Ages. Nevertheless, they are forms that existed, and should be brought to light for what ever purpose they might serve. The Reformation did not begin until about 1353, with John Wycliffe.

Ioua
Iona
Place names were very significant to the English Europeans; they were like landmarks for a memorial, that the generation to come might ask, “What does this name mean, and what significance does it have?” In this way, an important message could be passed on from one generation to the next.
In the law we are told, “Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor’s landmark, which they of old time have set.” Deuteronomy 19:14
The wicked move the ancient landmarks, as brought out in the book of Job: “Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks and feed thereof” (Job 24:2). In this chapter you will probably be able to determine who the wicked crew was that altered the place name of Ioua to Iona, and why it was done.
“Place names and dedications of churches across Europe and its islands, demonstrate the extent to which these evangelists traveled.” The Celtic Church in Britain, p. 9
“IONA, the ordinary name of the island which was the great Christian (Messiahan) seminary of North Britain, is due to false derivation. The oldest form of the mime in the MSS. is Ioua, used as an adjective agreeing with insula. . . . Ioua was altered into Iona.” Folk Etymology, A Dictionary of Verbal Corruption’s or Words Perverted in Form or Meaning, by False Derivation p. 537 by A. Smythe Palmer
Did you know that there was something special about Iona? Oh yes, there was! For out of this place many ancient truths were preserved and proclaimed. Truths which have been forgotten, hidden away, burned up, axed etc. The great enemy and champion of error fought hard against this place because of its propagation of the Truth. “It is not an injustice to history to say that Scotland twice saved the world for the Reformation.”Truth Triumphant p. 116
A question we might ask ourselves: Which ancient truths were preserved at Iona? There were many, but, as this chapter will show, the two most prominent were the seventh-day Sabbath, and the great set-apart name of our Creator.
The headquarters of Iona was established by Columba the successor of Patrick. These two prominent figures have now been “sainted” by the Catholic church, but the truth is, that they were not Catholic; as a matter of fact, they contended against Catholicism. The Catholic church had to “saint” them in order for the church to find acceptance in the minds of the people, who dearly loved Patrick and Columba.
One testimony concerning Patrick was that he “spread everywhere the name of God without fear, confidently,” Celtic Church in Britain p. 53 by Leslie Hardinge.
Columba observed the commandment of our Creator, His seventh day Sabbath. The last hours of Columba are recorded as follows:
“Having continued his labors in Scotland thirty four years, he clearly and openly foretold his death and on Saturday, the ninth of June, said to his disciple Diermit: This day is called the Sabbath, that is, the day of rest, and such will it truly be to me; for it will put an end to my labors’.” Truth Triumphant p. 108
“Columba taught his followers never to receive as religious truth any doctrine not sustained by proofs drawn from the Sacred Writings.” Ibid p. 106
The followers of Columba did this very thing. One letter which has survived, and is generally attributed to Columbanus “dealt with the Hebrew festivals as well with the Sabbath, and shows an affinity with early Celtic practice in quoting solely from the Scriptures.” The Celtic Church in Britainp. 83
“Columba with his own hand copied three hundred New Testaments, as well as portions of the Old Testament. What must have been the output of Iona when all the workers assigned to making manuscripts produced their contributions?” Truth Triumphant p. 107
“The object of the writing was, of course, to multiply copies of the Scriptures. . . .There must have been at Iona a separate room or hut where the writing materials were kept; a library where those engaged in transcribing the Scriptures might work, where the polaires containing the finished copies hung on the walls and where the valuable manuscripts were kept.” Menzies, St. Columba of Iona p. 68, 70
“Iona was not a monastery, but a great mission institute. It can be likened to the schools of the prophets of the Old Testament. Truth Triumphant p. 105
“The name (Iona) is believed to be a misreading of Iova, Ioua, a name that occurs in old MSS.” Winstons Cumulative Loose Leaf Encyclopedia & Dictionary 1936
“The earliest form of the word has excellent authority, for it occurs many times in the life of Columba written by one of his successors as abbot within a century of his death. But it is always given as an adjective, Ioua Insula the island of Io.” Place Names of the English-Speaking World p. 158, by CM. Matthews
Noah Webster in his first American Dictionary (1828) under the word ALLELUIAH shows that “Io” is a corruption of Jah (see Psalm 68:4 KJV) as in the word Hallelujah, meaning, Praise ye YAH!
This short form of “Io” as the set-apart name can also be seen in the original 1611 King James Version where it is attached to such Biblical names as Ioshua, Iohn, Ioci, Ioab, Ionathan, Iosedech, Iochcbcd, Ioram, Ioseph, etc.
Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance shows the fuller form of some of these names as Yehoshua, Yehochanan, Yehonathan, Yehosedech, Yehoseph, Yehoram.
Ioua was a form of the set-apart name of our Creator. When the set-apart name YAHUWAH was carried or pronounced into the Greek, it became Ioua. Example, take for instance the name Jehu (originally Yahu) in the Septuagint it becomes “Iou”. Let’s do another, take “Yahudah” (Judah) in the Greek it is “Iouda”. Yahu, which is the first part of the set-apart name of our Creator, was reduced to “Iou” when transferring to Greek, then on to Latin and other European languages.
Before it was pronounced Iova, the o and u were sounded together, the “o” being silent. CM. Matthews in his book Place Names of the English-Speaking World continues on to call it “Iova”, which resembles “Iowa”. By the way, the Lewis & Clark map of 1814 refers to the Iowa river, spelling it “Ioua”, which is exactly as the island of Iona anciently.
Iona, the great Sabbitarian center, was the hightower, or defense from Catholicism, where the righteous could run to and be safe from persecution. It was called “the government of Ia.” J. O’Donovan, The Annals of Ireland, Three Fragments, Fragment II, year 704. Quoted in The Celtic Church in Britain p. 26, 95 by Leslie Hardinge
This supports the idea that the island of “Ioua”, being named after the Creator, Who worked through this place in making His truth known, showing that Iona originally Ioua is another historical testimony to the original “a” sound at the end of the set-apart name.
What Ever Became of Iona?
Iona was the “Lighthouse of Truth” in Europe through the centuries of the Dark Ages. It was the last great hold out against Catholicism, until the Reformation.
What became of this great Sabbitarian center?
Queen Margaret, with a zeal for the Roman church, set out to Romanize the ancient Celtic Church in Scotland.
“Margaret never hesitated to unite church and state. Like Constantine, she joined together that which (the Messiah) had put asunder. Beginning with a Sunday law, she proceeded to the demolition of the Celtic Church. How little does the public suspect that religious legislation to enforce Easter and Sunday has often been the method of choking out the life of a liberty loving church.” Truth Triumphant p. 112 (proper title restored)

Testimony from the American Indians
James Adair is the earliest source information concerning the American Indians. He observed several Israelite characteristics in the southern American Indians.
James Adair was a backwoods preacher that lived and traded with the Southern Indians some forty years; he was called, by various writers, an Englishman, a Scotchman, and an Irishman. He was of a noble birth, whose family was of Earldom. His book was first published in London in 1775, and the main reason he wrote this book was to give evidence to show that the Indians were the lost tribes of Israel.
In recent times many stones have been turned up in America with ancient writings on them. These writings were compared to writings in the old world, and have been identified. These writings were found to be Arabic, Basque, Celtic, Cuneiform, Egyptian, Gaelic, Greek, Iberian, Libyan, Norse Runic, Numidian, Phoenician, and yes, there is ancient Hebrew inscriptions as well. One of these inscriptions is the “Bat Creek Stone” discovered in Loudon County Tennessee….
Usually interpreted “Only for the Yehudim” (Jews)
With inscriptions like this popping up, its easy to see how someone could come to such conclusions of the American Indians being the lost tribes of Israel, but James Adair had no rocks to go by.
Moses warned the Israelites that if they departed from the covenant faith that “YAHUWAH shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of earth even unto the other.” Deuteronomy 28:64. Most scholars interpret this to mean everywhere but America.
It is not the burden of this book to belabor the point too long, but it is in order to at least mention some points, because they are so interesting.
The American Indians did practice certain aspects of the Hebrew religion. “Cotton Mather in Boston, in the course of a long series of extraordinary letters to the Royal Society in London, drew attention to the existence, in Connecticut, of a tribe of Indians which practiced circumcision.” America B.C. p. 17
Even today the Cherokee nation honors the 7th day of the week. The numbers 4 and 7 are sacred to them, largely because it is the fourth commandment that sanctifies the seventh day.
A few evidences that James Adair listed:
1) They constructed their place of worship so “that their backs are to the east, and faces to the west”, this is after “the Jerusalem copy”! Adair’s History of the American Indians p. 118
2) “They do not pay the least perceivable adoration to any images, or to dead persons; neither to the celestial luminaries, nor evil spirits, nor any created being whatsoever. They are utter strangers to all the gestures practiced by the pagans in their religious rites.” Ibid p.20
3) “The Germans among them, frequently say “Yah-yah”, as an affirmative, they call them Yah-yah Algeh, Those of the blasphemous speech’; which strongly hints to us, that they still retained a glimpse of the third moral command delivered at Sinai.” Ibid p.70
4) They “observed a weekly sabbath”. Ibid p. 79 [This Sabbath is the seventh-day, as the Cherokee observe and many Seminole, the same day which Jews observed]
5) When they go to war they always carried their “sacred ark” with them! Ibid p. 162
6) They rejoiced “at the appearance of the new moon.” Ibid p. 20
7) They “observed a year of jubilee”! Ibib p. 226
8) They used the word “HalleluYah” in their religious gatherings etc.
James Adair, throughout his book, notes the set-apart name used by these American Indians as Yo He Wah. Josiah Priest, in his book American Antiquities p. 76 bears out that this was from the Choctaw and Florida Indians.
I remember attending a Feast of Tabernacles down in Kerrville, Texas where we had a formal reading of the book of Deuteronomy, where persons would take turns reading from the Scriptures. When the readers came to capital LORD (which indicates in the King James Version where the tetragrammaton originally appeared in the Hebrew Scriptures), some readers would say Yahweh, while others would say YAHUWAH, but when one sister came to it, she was uncertain of the correct pronunciation, so she would simply say the four letters “Yod He Vav He”. Later on she began using “Yod He Waw He”. To me, it sounded much like what Adair heard, possibly through time the three letters “Yod He Waw” turned into Yo He Wah.
In the old world, the form YHW was used by Jews in Elephantine Egypt.9
Also worth noting is that James Adair mentioned the Hebrew word 
which Strong’s shows to be “huw“, which Adair transliterated as Hewa,meaning he or she. Adair did this because of the way it is vowel pointed.
Another statement by Adair is worth noting:
“It is plain that where the Indians have not been corrupted by foreigners, their customs and religious worship are nearly alike; and also that every different tribe, or nation of Indians, uses such-like divine proper name, and awful sounds, as Yah-WahHetovah,&c. being transpositions of the divine essential name, as our northern Indians often repeat in their religious dances. As the sound of Yah-wah jarred in Laudon’s ear, he called it Java, in resemblance to the Syriac and Greek method of expressing the tetragrammaton, from which Galatinus imposed it upon us, calling it Jehowah, instead of Yohewah.“History of the American Indians p. 218
Notice in the above statement the word “Java”, a Syriac and Greek way of expressing the tetragrammaton. The Syriac nor Greek have the letter “J” in their alpha-beta, nor do they have a “V”! It must have been a modem way of expressing it, just as the translators of the Ante-Nicene Fathers put “Jave” in the text of an early Greek writer. The reason for bringing this out, is that YAHUWAH would be transliterated correctly into Greek as Ioua instead of Iaue, as Josephus related to the Greeks, which he did say consisted of “four vowels”, which leaves out the “J” and the “V”!
To this day the Cherokee call the Creator “Yowa”, which does resemble “Iowa”, which would be a short form. J.C. Beltrami called the Iowa river the YAHOWA10 river, interesting to say the least.
Some have argued the Hebrew connection of the Hopi, that their ways were similar to the Baal worship of the Hebrews, the Kabalah connection. The Hopi have a word which describes from whence life first began, this word is “yayva”.
In the Book of the Hopi by Frank Waters, the Sun God is referred to as the Creator by the name “Taiowa”, a combination of Tau and iowa. The Paleo-Hebrew Tau 
, is a symbol of the sun, also called the “MARK” or cross. The Hebrew Aleph and Tau are the first and last letters in the Hebrew alephbet. “Thus saith YAHUWAH the King of Israel, and His redeemer YAHUWAH of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside Me there is no Elohim.” Isaiah 44:6. The Greeks related it as Alpha and Omega as in Revelation 1:8. Other books refer to the Sun Spirit as Tawa. The Pueblo also call the creator godTawa.
“Yahoya” is the deity of Bear Clan at Shongopovi.11
The Chickasaw Indians call the Creator “Chihoowah”. In Arizona there is a county and tribe of Indians called “Yavapai”, meaning sun people, pai, meaning people, and Yava meaning sun. There are many examples throughout history of the sun being confused with the deity. These Indians literally make prayers to the sun. We know from Scripture, in Ezekicl 8 for example, that this is not only an error but an abomination. However, YAHUSHUA said that the sun was a symbol that pointed to Himself when He said, “I am the light of the world.” John 8:12. The sun is the light of this world, which enables us to see about us and not wander around in darkness. What the Catholic church has done is take something that is a symbol of YAHUSHUA, and worship the symbol instead of what the symbol represents, which is the Messiah Himself.
Another example is that the Saviour said, “If any man will come after Me let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.” Matthew 16:24. The Catholic takes this literally and wears a cross around their neck.
Obviously they are in darkness and have not seen the “Sun of righteousness.”
In Texas, the Catholic priests established the Alamo as a mission for the very purpose of “Christianizing” the Indians. These areas, near the border of Mexico, were heavily Catholicized! Thus, my point with the Yavapai Indians of Arizona. Yahushua’s missionaries are needed out west, to help correct these errors.
Another one that is a bit speculative, but worth considering, is another tribe in Arizona called Havasupai. While passing down the interstate in Arizona, and seeing the word “Havasu” on a sign, caused me to ponder a bit. I already knew that “pai” means “people”. So what is left is Havasu; then I thought, what if this “H” is an English translation from the Spanish “J”, that would make it appear more like Javasu. Then this Spanish “J” would lead us back to an old “I” or “Y” in the Old World.
Well sure enough, in doing some research into this, several writers expressed it like I thought they might.
Havasua Pai – Ewing in Great Divide, 203, Dec. 1892
Jabesua – Garces (1776). Diary, 340, 1900
Java Supais – Baxter in Harpers Mag., June 1882

Yavipai Javesua – Orozco y Berra, Geog., 1864 (after Garces)
Yuva Supai – Corbusier in Am. Antiq., 276 Sept. 1886
Notice the “Jabesua”, the “Jabe” resembles the way Theodoret and Epiphanius expressed the tetragrammaton which was . Also notice “Yuva”, it is understood that “Yu” is a corruption of Yahu, the first part of the set-apart name. Example: the Arabs call Joseph “Yusef, though Strong’s has Yehoseph; originally it was Yahuseph.
“Havasupai”, we are told, means “the blue green people”, breaking it down:
Hava = Blue, Su = Green, Pai = people.
On the surface, this seems illogical. Why would anyone call themselves the Blue-green people? But there is a deeper two-fold meaning…
Blue represents “heaven”, as it is blue when you look up at a clear sky in the day time. Green represents the “earth”. Heaven came to earth, or YAHUWAH came to earth in YAHUSHUA (some sacred namers like to say Yahuahshua; I’ve even heard Yahweshua).
The ancients used to associate a virtuous idea with the set-apart name, and from this stemmed many words, like jus = law, judge, justice, jury, jurisprudence etc. Take for instance the name “Jupiter”; the “Ju” is a corruption of “Yahu”. A quick example: Judah, in Hebrew is Yahudah. The prophet/king Jehu (originally Yahu) in the Septuagint is “Iou”, the English text beside it has “Ju”. Jupiter was associated with “the heavens”, as many reference works bare out; yea, even the Bible in Acts 19:35, “the image which fell down from Jupiter”. Newer versions put “the image which fell down from heaven.”
Piter is the same as pater, pader, padre, fader, meaning father, in this way Jupiter would mean heavenly father. What the Romans did was make an image of what they thought god looked like, which is forbidden in the Ten Commandments. At first, it was intended to only represent what El was like; then a couple of hundred years ago, by and by, they start worshipping it. Idolatry usually doesn’t start over night, but I still say men are more in the “image of Elohim” than some statue. Give glory to Elohim, wear a beard!
Back to the subject:
David wrote, “the heavens shall declare His righteousness.” Ps. 50:6. The heavens are blue, but blue also represents “the law”. Lets finish the text, “for Elohim is judge Himself.” There are hints in Scripture that the Ten Commandments were written on sapphire stone from YAHUWAH’s very throne (see Ex. 24:10 & Ezek. 1:26). Dan means “judge”, and the stone in the breast plate, worn by the high priest of Israel for the tribe of Dan, was sapphire (Sapphire is the fifth stone listed Ex. 28:18 and Dan is the fifth son listed in Gen 29 & 30).
YAHUWAH also told Mosheh, “Bid the children of Israel to make fringes, and be sure that when you make it, put a “ribband of blue“, why? “that you may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of YAHUWAH, and do them; and that you seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you use to go a whoring: that ye may remember, and do all My commandments.” Numbers 15:38,39. |
|
Green also represents “living”, to be “alive” in YAHUSHUA. In the book of Revelation, chapter 9:4, the angel is commanded not to hurt “any green thing” or those written in the Book of Life, who have “life” in them. But the text continues, “but only those men which have not the seal of Elohim in their foreheads.” Rev 9:4.
They receive not the set-apart name which is part of the great seal, Name – YAHUWAH, Title – Creator, and Jurisdiction – Heaven & Earth, as brought out from the fourth commandment. Those who are not a green thing, receive not the love of the truth that they might be saved.
This is the hidden message of the Blue-green folks. This same concept is throughout Scripture. YAHUSHUA the Messiah told the rich young ruler and tells us today, “If thou wilt enter into LIFE, keep the commandments.” Matthew 19:17, with a reference to Leviticus 18:5
John also wrote, “Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of LIFE.” Revelation 22:14 KJV
There is also a large rock on Mystery Mountain near Los Lunas, New Mexico, which is inscribed with the ten commandments. Some scholars believe it to be some form of Paleo-Hebrew, others Phoenician Cyrus Gordon thought it to be Samaritan. The inscription is certainly authentic, as it was inscribed in a nearby stone, the documentation of a lunar eclipse; possibly how Los Lunas got it’s name. Researchers discovered that there was a lunar eclipse there in 107 B.C.E.
The set-apart name is inscribed therein as 
.
The Testimony from the American Indians have one common thread that runs through them all, and that is the “a” sound at the ending of the set-apart name.

The Karen of Burma
In 1795 an English diplomat visited Burma near Rangoon. The first encounter with a European’s white face electrified the people in that village. Like moths drawn to a lamp they swarmed around the diplomat, who recoiled slightly as wiry brown hands reached out to touch his arms and cheeks.
The Burmese guide spoke disparagingly of the Karen, they’re just wild hill people given to stealing and fighting, which was not entirely true. The Karen were in fact the most progressive of Burma’s many tribal peoples. Burmese, however, had abused and exploited the Karen for centuries.
The Burmese Buddhists could not forgive the Karen minority for stubbornly adhering to their own folk religion in the face of unremitting attempts by the Burmese to make Buddhists of them!
The Englishman, in any case, was no longer listening to his guide. Cheerful Karen voices now charmed his ears. Every man, woman, and child around him glowed with radiant welcome. How refreshingly different, he thought, from the usual Burmese crowd’s aloofness toward foreigners.
A Karen man who could speak Burmese explained something to the guide.
“This is most interesting,” the guide said, “these tribesmen think you may be a certain ‘white brother’ whom they as a people have been expecting from time immemorial!”
“How curious,” replied the diplomat. “Ask them what this ‘white brother’ is supposed to do when he arrives.”
“He’s supposed to bring them a book,” the guide said. “A book just like one their forefathers lost long ago. They are asking-with bated breath-‘hasn’t he brought it’?” “Ho! Ho!” the Englishman guffawed. “And who, pray tell, is the author whose book has power to charm illiterate folk like these?”
“They say the author is Y’wa–the Supreme God.” To make a long story short, these Karen were greatly disappointed that he had not brought the book that, through many years of traditional teaching, had been passed down. Returning to the newly-established British embassy in Rangoon, the diplomat reported his strange experience in the Karen village to his superior, Lieutenant Colonel Michael Symes. Symes in turn, mentioned it in a manuscript entitled An Account of an Embassy to the Kingdom of Ava in the Year 1795, published 32 years later in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Thus the Karen nation was poised like an 800,000 member welcoming party, ready for the first unsuspecting missionary who approached them with a Bible and a message from YAHUWAH. Whoever it proved to be, he was destined to enjoy one of history’s greatest privileges! This story is taken from the book Eternity In Their Hearts by Don Richardson p. 73, 74
The Karen of Burma have been a special interest to missionaries, because of what they call the Creator. William Spicer, a Seventh-day Adventist missionary, documents this name the Karen called the Creator as “Yuan” in Miracles of Modern Missions p. 178. The Encyclopedia Britannica and Don Richardson in his book documents what it sounded like to them as “Y’wa”. But really what the Karen sounded out is actually a blend of both “Yuwah”. Sound them out, they all sound nearly the same.
Now a real bona fide corruption of the set-apart name easily comes into focus. The original set-apart name that our Father and Creator spoke from Mt. Sinai was YAHUWAH, which is easily proven from Scripture alone. Throughout the ancient world, over and over, we see how “Yahu” got corrupted to “Yu”, and even “Yo” (the Cherokee version as Yowa). Example, Yahuseph in Arabic is Yusef (and Hebrew Yoseph), Yahuchanan (original Hebrew of Iohn or John) became Juan in Spanish. Thus, we can see how Yuwah was corrupted from Yahuwah.
Yuwa is another historical testimony to the “wah” sound at the end of the set-apart name, instead of the “weh” sound. This one is from a really good source.
Chapter 15
FROM THE ARABS
A friend from New Mexico sent me a little booklet from the Islamic Propagation Center in Saudi Arabia entitled What is His Name? by Ahmed Deedat. He promotes the Islamic faith of worshipping Allah; some believe this is a variation of Ellah, Eloah. In the book he quotes Ellen G. White the prophetess of the early Seventh-day Adventist church;
“Learned men had in some instances changed the words, [of Scripture] thinking that they were making it plain, when in reality they were mystifying that which was plain.” Early Writings p. 220, 221
This is mainly referring to the change of the name, to Lord etc.
His book attacks Christianity (which Rome is the heart of), because of its paganism borrowed from Mithraism, Druidism, Essenism and Gnostiism. I don’t agree with everything in this little booklet, but the point I wanted to make is that he (an Arab) showed the name to be “Ya Huwa”.
Back when I lived in Texas, a friend of mine, Bill Matheson and I, made a visit to the Dallas Theological Seminary Library, where I introduced him to a lady that worked there, that spoke Arabic. I asked her what something read in Arabic, and she told me. During the conversation, brother Bill asked her how she read the set-apart name from her Arabic Bible in Exodus 6:3. Without hesitation she said, “Ya Huwa”. Bill replied, “Yahuwah”? She said, “No, it’s Ya Huwa”. She pointed out how the accent was a little bit different.
We were somewhat amazed, and thought it quite interesting, that they didn’t try covering it up, like the Jews.

The Charge of Being Feminine
Some of the advocates of the name Yahweh have charged the name of YAHUWAH to be feminine, because that in many Hebrew words the “ah” ending denotes femininity; an example is Proverbs 8. Translators noticed the feminine ending throughout many of the words, and thus the personification of Wisdom was made feminine. But this does not always apply! For there are 137 names that end with “yah”, but the Advocates of Yahweh dismiss this because it is the short form of the set-apart name.
The name Jonah was used as an example, because it means dove, and the word dove is assigned feminine gender.
What about all the other male names that end in “ah”? Did they forget to notice these?

So, does the “ah” ending make these giants, warriors, watchmen soldiers and circumcisions, female? No!
The set-apart name, you could say ends with “Yah”, but in the form “wah”. Since I AM THAT I AM is the translation, it stands to reason the set-apart name has three parts, since I AM is repeated. Therefore, “wah” the last portion stands for “yah”. The set-apart name is the tetragrammaton (four letters) YHWH, not YHYH, nor a pentegrammaton (five letters) YHUYH. Therefore the set-apart name cannot be Yahuyah, for the waw blends with the middle part “huw”, whereas the yod does not, which we already learned in Hebrew grammar rules. Yah huw wah. Yahuwah!
Yahuwah therefore is not feminine. If the set-apart name were Yahuah, then the gainsayers might have a point. Yahuah however could be a perfect Latin transliteration, since the Latin has no “w” to express the Hebrew.
But even if the ending of Yahuwah were feminine, does that somehow make the name of Yahweh correct? The “HU” part of YAHUWAH is masculine as Hu means He,which is lacking in Yahweh.
In the Old Testament, more than one person acted in the set-apart name. The Son of Elohim was also called by the name of YAHUWAH in His pre-existence. A quick example is in Exodus 3:2, “The angel of YAHUWAH appeared unto him.” Further down in verse four it says, “And when YAHUWAH saw that, he turned aside to see, Elohim called unto him out of the midst of the bush.”
Consider also Matt. 28:20, “Baptizing them in the name (singular) of the Father, and of the Son , and of the Holy Spirit.”
So I suspect the Set-Apart Spirit is also named with the set-apart name, and/or acts in the name of YAHUSHUA (Jn. 14:18 &16:13), the Family name (Eph. 3:14,15).
“Hear, 0 Israel: YAHUWAH our Elohim (plural) is united YAHUWAH.” Deut. 6:4

The Messiah’s Original Name!
If you were a treasure seeker, how would you go about trying to find those treasures? Would you expect to find them lying on the surface? Not usually! Treasures usually have to be dug for.
If you knew there was oil under the ground, would it not be worth drilling for? Of course it would be!
So often the religious world just surface read the Scriptures, and too often the cheap rocks on the surface mean more to them than the gold nugget.
The name “Jesus” is a name that is on the surface of the Bible. But, when you dig a little deeper into this subject, something very precious and profound comes out.
The Saviour Himself spoke to Saul on the road to Damascus, and Saul said, “Who art thou Master?”. The Messiah did not say, “I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.” Acts 26:15; though this is on the surface. By digging a little deeper, we understand that He did not say “Jesus”, for it is recorded that the Saviour spoke “in the Hebrew tongue” (Acts 26:14). Neither did Messiah stop in the middle of His sentence, speak a Greek-Latin name, and then resume in Hebrew.
So the question arises, “What was the Saviour’s name in the Hebrew tongue?” Scripture asks the same question! “What is His name, and what is His son’s name if thou canst tell?” (Prov. 30:4). The next verse gives the clue, taking all of Scripture into account upon the subject, the honest in heart will find it.
The name Jesus is translated from Greek manuscripts from “Iesous”, the same word that describes “Joshua” in Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8; butJoshua is usually found in the margin of the KJV. The New Age bible version restores “Joshua” to these texts, but did not restore the Saviour’s name, because they did not want to confuse everyone with the facts! [Does that make sense to you?]
What does this mean? It means that Joshua and the Messiah had the same name! Which was? Well we have a list. In the Septuagint the name of Joshua is transliterated in a variety of forms, the same with the Saviour in the New Testament, such as, 
, 
, 
, 
, and 
(Ezra 2:6). Why do we arbitrarily choose “Iesous” as the one to transliterate from? Even the Greek New Testament shows 
(Iesoun) in Matthew 1:21, yet, you never hear the Saviour called Jesun.
The question still remains. Which name is the only one under heaven given to men whereby we must be saved? The Greeks gave us quite a list!
In the KJV, Joshua is spelled Jeshua (Nehemiah 8:17), Joshua (Exodus 17:9), and Jehoshua (Numbers 13:16). Was it Jeshua? Well, let’s dig a little deeper! Though the “J” is on the surface, we know that it should have a “Y” sound, as in the Hebrew. Example, Hallelujah, where the “J” has a “Y” sound. OK Yeshua. Was Yeshua the original which Gabriel delivered to Yoseph and Miriam? Let’s dig a little deeper and find out! The Messiah said, “I am come in My Father’s name” (John 5:43). The Torah also prophesied that “My name is in Him.” Ex. 23:21. In other words, part of the set-apart name must be a part of the Messiah’s name. David also said, concerning the Messiah, of which Solomon was a type, “He shall be as a son to continue His Father’s name forever.” Psalm 72:17 margin
In the name Jehoshua, we at least see the concept of the Father’s name being involved, which most know as Jehovah. But we have already learned that the original set-apart name was, and is YAHUWAH; therefore the Saviour’s name, which was delivered by Gabriel, was YAHUSHUA.
Originally, Joshua’s name was spelled 
(Deut. 3:21 & Judges 2:7); but after the children of Israel came out of Babylonian captivity (536 BCE) Joshua’s name was shortened (at least in the manuscripts of Ezra) to 
. The Israelites might have changed, but our Creator said, “I change not.” Malachi 3:6
The angel Gabriel was not subject to Babylonian corruption through culture and time. No, Gabriel’s job was to deliver a message from the Father Himself. Woe unto Gabriel if he should alter it! Gabriel was a faithful messenger and delivered the original “Yahu” in Messiah’s name. The Messiah seemed as one who would restore Israel back to its former splendour when many used the element “yahu” in their names, before the Babylonian captivity. It is true that Yeshua was a common name in Israel in the time of Messiah, but YAHUSHUA was not.
If you were to have a son, and you being the parent, name your son Brent, and your neighbor comes along and says his name is Bert, you first try to be nice and cordial and reply to your neighbor, “we named him Brent”. But the neighbor says, “well, I named him Bert!” Then, you draw a breath and think for a moment. Then you try to explain kindly as possible to your neighbor, helping him to understand. “I am the parent, this is my son! I have named him Brent.” But the neighbor is quite insistent that his name is Bert. How would you begin to feel toward your neighbor? You know that he or she is out of line; this is your son and you named him. What to do?
This is the same situation our heavenly Father finds Himself in! He sent His angel Gabriel to Yoseph and Miriam; no human gave the name, not even Yoseph or Miriam, and woe to Gabriel if He should alter it!
The Saviour’s original name has been under serious attack, for Satan hates it.
Aquila was “celebrated for a very literal and accurate translation of the Old Testament into Greek.” Encyclopedia Britannica
He recorded the name Joshua in Greek as 
(Iesoua), a perfect transliteration of the Hebrew Yeshua. This can be seen in Origen’s Hexapla in Deut. 1:38. This shows that it was at least possible for Greeks to transliterate correctly, it’s just that they wouldn’t. This form from Aquila is never noticed or mentioned by modern scholarship. Why?
If the Greeks were true to transliteration to begin with, we would never have had so much controversy concerning the Saviour’s name. But that’s just the way it is in this life, that truth must be controversial; for Satan, working through humans, has made error popular, and very credible and sometimes prestigious. Nevertheless, the long continuation of time cannot make error into truth.
Paul “spake boldly in the name of the Sovereign YAHUSHUA, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.” Acts 9:29
YAHUSHUA told Paul; “rise, stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; delivering thee from the people, from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, to open their eyes, and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto Elohim, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are set-apart by faith that is in Me.” Acts 26:16-18
Paul further stated, “I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision.” Acts 26:19
Scripture shows a bit of the controversy between truth and the Grecian name game, which existed in Paul’s day (see Acts 18:15).
Greek may have been the international language of the world, but it was not the national language used in Israel. Josephus, the Jewish historian, shows how learning the Greek language was discouraged in Israel. (Antiquities of the Jews Book XX chapter 11 par. 2)
Even the Bible shows how Greeks were despised by the Jews (Acts 21:28).
While our Saviour was upon this earth, He was called by the Hebrew name YAHUSHUA. Can you imagine the kind of look that would have come across the face of the priest in the temple if Mirium had told the priest His name is “Jesus”? It surely would have startled him, and would have thought that they were rebellious Jews trying to bring in the Greek culture. But when the priest heard YAHUSHUA, he must have pondered the greatness of the child to be named after the heavenly Father (meaning YAHUWAH’s Salvation).
“Neither is there salvation in any other: For there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
The Germans, the Greeks, the Romans, the Spanish, the Britons, the Africans etc, are all under heaven.
If folks only knew how Satan hates the Saviour’s name and deliberately destroyed all the early manuscripts. The manuscripts had to either conform to Satan’s Grecian name game, or be destroyed. But the Truth can be discovered by taking the Bible as a whole; not surface reading, but digging as for hidden treasure. As veins of precious ore are hidden under the surface of the earth, so also are spiritual riches concealed in passages of Scripture, and it requires mental effort and prayerful attention to discover the hidden meaning of the Word of Elohim. Let every student who values the heavenly treasures, put to the stretch his mental and spiritual powers, and sink the shaft deep into the mine of truth, that he or she may obtain the celestial gold . . . that wisdom which will make us wise unto salvation.
Paul stated the reason people find themselves in a strong delusion, is “because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” II Thes 2:10
Chawah (Eve) was not condemned for believing the lie of the serpent, rather she was condemned for not believing the truth. That is, not believing what Elohim had said.
Our hearts should naturally love the Saviour’s original name, simply because it is His name. How can we say we love Him, and have a bad attitude toward His original name! We ought to love Him for what He has done for us, and for who He is: YAHUWAH’s Salvation.
Paul spoke expressly that in the latter times men would be “ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” II Tim. 3:7
The truth is the original; and what is not the original is a counterfeit.
“Acknowledging the truth which is after righteousness.” Titus 1:1
Paul told Timothy: “In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if Elohim possibly will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth.” II Tim. 2:25.
In other words, if we wish to show ourselves repentant toward our Creator, this can only be done by our acknowledging of the truth.

Chapter 18
The Two Witnesses
The historic application of the two witnesses were the Old and New Testament. Since the 1260 days (years) applied to the Dark Ages, then this view is not incorrect. But as the 1260 literal days pre-eminently apply to the last days just prior to the appearing of the Son of Man, then the Two Witnesses must also have another pre-eminent application for the latter days.
The Two Witnesses are also called “the two olive trees” and the “two candlesticks”, “that stand by the Sovereign of the whole earth.” Zech. 4:14. This title Lord or Adonai usually applies to the Son of YAHUWAH throughout the Old Testament. Since YAHUSHUA is in the heavenly sanctuary, it stands to reason that these two witnesses are also represented in the earthly sanctuary, which served unto the example of heavenly things (Hebrews 8:5), thereby locating them in the heavenly sanctuary, standing by YAHUSHUA. Zechariah stated: “These are the two sons of oil.” Zech. 4:14 margin KJV.
In YAHUWAH’s temple, made by Solomon, the Scripture states that “within the oracle he made two cherubim of olive tree (ring a bell?) each ten cubits high.” (I Kings 6:23) The margin states the Hebrew more accurately “trees of oil”.
Moses is in heaven, and Eliyahu is in heaven, and evidently they have a work that they do there. From reading Zechariah 4:12, they possibly produce oil which keeps the seven branched candlestick burning. “Oil for the light.” Ex. 25:6. The seven branched candlestick represents something in heaven. It says within Hebrews 8:5…
…as Moses was admonished of Elohim when he was about to make the tabernacle: “for, see” saith He, “that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed thee in the mount.”
The candlestick represents “the seven spirits which are before His throne.” Rev 1:4. “The seven spirits of Elohim (are) sent forth into all the earth.” Rev. 5:6. “Who maketh His angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire.” Psalm 104:4.
Now, the Three Angels Message are not three literal angels, but three proclamations, messages and/or movements; but it is the people who give them. This is possibly also the case with the two witnesses. It is a message or proclamation and/or movements; people with a certain message. What was the message of Moses? The prophet Malachi gives us some insight, “Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, with statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send Eliyahu the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of YAHUWAH.” Malachi 4:4, 5. Strange how he mentions both of them together like this. Eliyahu is known for the set-apart name showdown upon Mt. Carmel, where the people of Elohim were tricked by their religious leaders to call upon a common title (Baal means Lord – Hosea 2:16 margin), thus they could be in ecumenical harmony with the churches around them. But Eliyahu burdened with a message of restoration of the true worship, thus acknowledging, praising and honoring the Creator’s majestic name.
And Eliyahu came unto all the people, and said, “How long halt ye between to opinions? if YAHUWAH be Elohim, follow Him: but if haBaal (the Lord), then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.” I Kings 18:27
If this true worship is followed, it shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to the fathers. If the message is not received, I YAHUWAH will smite the earth with a curse. (Malachi 4:6)
“These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.” Revelation 11:6. This passage is a wide open hint to who the Two Witnesses are! Read it again! Does it ring a bell? Remember that it didn’t rain in the days of Eliyah? Remember the plagues of Egypt with Mosheh?
The Two Witnesses are the Two Sons of Oil. So how does the oil tie in with the message? Consider the following passages carefully!
Your name is as oil poured forth, therefore do the (wise) virgins love you.” Song of Solomon 1:3 ASV. Thus the names of the Father and His Son are likened unto oil. “A good name is better than precious oil.” The Parson 7:1 ASV
“Oil to make his face to shine.” Psalm 104:15 “Wisdom maketh his face to shine.” The Preacher 8:1 Thus oil is also likened unto “wisdom”. What does Scripture associate with wisdom? Moses said concerning the statutes and judgments: “this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations.” Deut. 4:6. Also “the man of wisdom shall see Thy name.” Micah 6:9.
There isn’t that much problem with folks acknowledging the statutes, except when it comes to the Feast Days, and because folks wish not to embrace the Feast days as part of the covenant given at Mt. Sinai (see Exodus 23:14-17), they feel that they must try to rationalize away not only the Feast days, but all the statutes, since they rise and fall together [Note, the animal sacrifices were not given on Mt. Sinai, but from the cloudy pillar above the tabernacle later on, see Lev. 1:1 and onward]. Therefore you could sum up the Two Witnesses, Moses and Eliyahu, in the two messages, “the Set-Apart name and the Feast days.”
Moses admonished the children of Israel to observe the statutes and judgments “that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.” Deuteronomy 4:5. A type of entering heaven! Today this same message is designed to prepare modern Israel to enter the Promise Land (the New Earth). “And they that love thy name shall dwell therein,” Ps. 69:36. As men, women, and children proclaim the good news, YAHUWAH will open the eyes of the blind to see His statutes. The animating Spirit of Elohim, working through human agencies, leads the believers to be of one mind, one soul, unitedly loving Elohim and keeping His commandments—preparing here below for translation. This is what the angel of Revelation 18 will accomplish.
Moses told, in the plainest of speech, “My doctrine shall drop as the (latter) rain, my speech shall distill as the dew . .. Because I will publish the name of YAHUWAH: ascribe ye greatness to our Elohim.” Deut. 32:2, 3
It remains to be seen if these Two Witnesses actually come from heaven and walk among men. That possibility does exist; they did appear upon the mount of transfiguration with YAHUSHUA (Matthew 17:2). It probably would not be necessary, since we have the writings of Moses and the prophets. If we do not believe them, neither would we be persuaded though one rise from the dead.
The Scripture has already foretold that the majority will reject their messages, yet because they are messages of truth, they will triumph and rise again. Let Scripture be true and every man a liar, “that the testimony of two men is true.” John 8:17

Power of the Set-Apart Name
“He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of Elohim, even to them that believe on His name.” John 1:11, 12
Even the seventy disciples of YAHUSHUA testified, saying, “Master, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name.” Luke 10:17
The Set-Apart Name messages will be one of the most powerful messages here in these last days. How do I know? The Scriptures are full of types and their anti-types. Paul said, “All these things happened unto them for ensamples [or types, margin]: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” I Corinthians 10:11
Remember David, the shepherd boy, he came to bring some food to his brothers who were fighting against the Philistines. But lo, they had stopped fighting against the Philistines because of a big giant, called Goliath. David said, “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living Elohim?” I Samuel 17:26
So, to make a long story short, David took his sling and picked up five smooth stones, (of course he only needed one).
Goliath makes a death decree upon David and cursed David by his Elohim. (I Samuel 17:43,44). David overlooked these threats by faith and says, “Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and a shield: but I come to thee in the Name of YAHUWAH of hosts, the Elohim of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied ” I Samuel 17:45.
What happened? David put one little stone in his sling, and the sling went round and round and round and round, and one little stone went up in the air and the giant came a tumbling down!
This “stone” represents what? The Set-Apart Name! This was the stone that was set at naught by the soldiers.
“Because I will publish the name of YAHUWAH: ascribe ye greatness unto our Elohim. He is the Rock.” Deuteronomy 32: 3,4
“Their rock is not our Rock.” Deut. 32:31. For they literally worship rocks, which is an abomination (Rev. 9:20). David took what represented the set-apart name and hurled it right into the forehead of the giant. What happened? He died! The giant represents who? That’s right, the Devil!
Martin Luther wrote in his song, “A Mighty Fortress” (compare Proverbs 18:10): “And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to un-do us, we will not fear, for (YAH) hath willed His truth to triumph through us. The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure for lo his doom is sure, one little word shall fell him.”
That one little word which will overthrow the Devil is the SET-APART NAME. (“In My name shall they cast out devils.” Mark 16:17)
Nimrod the mighty hunter, who also represents the Devil, was a threat to the inhabitants of the then known world. His system of religion was in defiance of heaven, but it was “Shem” (Whose name in Hebrew means name) that slew Nimrod, that giant of a man! (see The The Two Babylons p. 63-66). Again we sec how the name overthrew the giant.
When Kepha and John were asked, “By what power, or by what name have ye done this?” Kepha replied, “By the name of YAHUSHUA the Messiah of Nazareth … This is the stone which was set at naught of you builders (reformers), which is become the head of the corner.
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:7, 10-12
All of these Old Testament stories point to a greater event about to happen! There is this great big giant image, which was in the making all the way back from Babylon, Media-Persia, Greece, Rome, and the ten divisions of Rome.
Daniel said to king Nebuchadnezzar, “Thou art this head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee (which was Media-Persia see Dan. 5:31) and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.” Daniel 2:39. Which kingdom conquered Media-Persia? That’s right, Greece! Daniel 8:20,21.
The fourth kingdom, we all know, was the Roman empire; and the ten toes, part of iron and part of clay, are the ten divisions of Rome.
Hitler nor Napoleon could ever conquer all of Europe because of these very words of Scripture: “they shall mingle themselves with the seed of man: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.” Daniel 2:43. That is powerful! That is why Europe is not united even now! The New World Order will never be completely set up because of these words.
As the New World Order pushes to be completely set up, and becomes partly strong, YAHUWAH will pour out plagues, and it will be partly broken (Dan. 2:42)
Watch out for that stone! It’s coming! Boom! Smash!
“A stone was cut out with out hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay and brake them in pieces.” Dan. 2:34
The authority of the Kingdom of YAHUWAH “shall never be destroyed: and the Kingdom thereof shall not be left to another people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.” Daniel 2:44 margin
“For as much as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great Eloah hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof is sure.” Daniel 2:45
So let us identify ourselves with this Rock, the Set-Apart Name, the Name “of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.” Ephesians 3:15. The Kingdom of YAHUWAH!
“Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.” Luke 20:18
The Scripture hath said, “The wicked are not so (like a tree planted by the rivers of waters, who meditate in the law day and night), but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For YAHUWAH knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the wicked shall perish.” Psalm 1:4, 6
Let us not occupy the seat of the scornful concerning the set-apart name. Whoever thought the Name was vain?
Christendom (Babylon) is mad upon their idols, but the set-apart name will overthrow Babylon.

Chapter 20 Publish the Name of Yahuwah
When YAHUWAH roars out of New Jerusalem (Jo-el 3:16), and shakes the heavens and the earth (Hag. 2:6) and delivers the everlasting covenant to His people on Judgment day (literally speaks the Ten Commandments), which name will He use to identify Himself? Jehovah? Which no one heard of before 1500 of the current era. Yahweh? The Greek version! Or, Yahvah? Or, will everyone hear the pronunciation they like best. Are we so slow to understand that truth is eternal?
“Every new truth has made its way against hatred and opposition; those who were blessed with its light were tempted and tried. (YAHUWAH) gives a special truth for the people in an emergency. Who dare refuse to publish it? He commands His servants to present the last invitation of mercy to the world. They cannot remain silent, except at the peril of their souls.” Great Controversy p. 609
From the conclusion of this book, the Father will utter the only name sustained by taking all of Scripture into account on the subject, the proof drawn from Scripture alone! Which is YAHUWAH, that all will hear on Judgment day, like it was on Mt. Sinai.
Moses said, “Because I will publish the name of YAHUWAH: ascribe ye greatness unto our Elohim.” Deuteronomy 32:3.
How can we “give glory unto Him” if we refuse to ascribe greatness unto our Elohim by refusing to publish the name of YAHUWAH?
“For You have made great Your Word, Your Name, above all.” Psalm 138:2 (ISR). Every point has been made by using Scripture alone.
“The Sovereign gave the word”, may the next portion of the verse be fulfilled in your life, “great was the company of those that published it.” Ps. 68:11
Therefore publish the name of YAHUWAH in the books, the Bibles, the hymnals, tracts. “Say among the heathen that YAHUWAH reigneth.” Psalm 96:10
“YAHUWAH reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the great isles be glad thereof.
“Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye elohim.” Psalm 97:1
“Fear YAHUWAH, give honour unto Him for the hour of His judgment is come.” Rev 14:7.
“Give unto YAHUWAH the honour due unto His name.” Ps. 29:2
“O magnify YAHUWAH with me, and let us exalt His name together.” Psalm 34:3
“Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is set-apart.” Psalm 99:3
May the praise to YAHUWAH swell from nation to nation, from island to island, from hill to hill, till the whole world resounds with praise and glory due to His holy name.
HalleluYAH!

Shabbat Shalom from welltrod
What a beautiful and refreshing morning we had. I wanted to share this because Abba has never been so close as I have felt Him today.
As Rivkah and I were wrapping up with the feeding of the homeless this morning, there were two plates left over. Today had seemed a lot slower than normal, so we had a few leftovers. I grabbed one plate and Rivkah took the other one, and we started walking out towards the street in between two buildings. About half way to the main street, we saw a man who looked like he had not eaten yet. Rivkah handed him the plate. She turned around to go back to help with the tear down while I continued looking for someone to give the last plate of food to.
There were very few people standing around and I was standing in the middle of the side street looking around. I softly said to Father, “please Father, let someone come around the cor—-“. I had not even completed the last word “corner” before I saw a man round the corner from the main street and began walking towards me. I thanked Abba and walked to him and handed him the last plate of food. He was thirsty, so I told him to come walk with me back to the drink area and as we were walking, we talked. However, it wasn’t until we neared the drink area, that when I began speaking encouraging words to him, that he stopped cold in his tracks and said, “I needed to hear that.” You see, I could tell by his body language, regardless of the sunglasses he was wearing, that he was breaking down in tears. Upon further discussion and speaking the words of Psalm 3 over him, ‘Elohim being the lifter of his head,’ the man began to tell me that he had just lost everything. The words Father was speaking through me to that man was like cold water to a thirsty soul. I was most humbled… Just about that time, Rivkah came over and we both stood there and prayed for him. I put my hand on his sweaty shoulder, and holding onto his torn and ragged backpack, he began to share how much he needed to hear such words of encouragement. This morning before we left the house, I felt an urging to read Psalm 34. Most assuredly, it was for this man that I was being prepared to meet. For out of all the homeless we fed today, there was none who gripped my heart more than this man.
Tears rose up from deep within my spirit and poured down my face on the way home. I merely asked Abba to send someone around the corner, and before the words had barely left my lips, the man came from around the corner. For what purpose did I meet this man today? A broken down human being walking the ‘streets of despair’, yet Father had him round the corner of a building, where I was standing and holding the last plate of food – nourishment for his body, and hope for his spirit. How many times have we rounded the corner of despair, hopelessness and abandonment? How blessed are we to have food on the table, people to love us, and Father Elohim who never abandons us! This is the fuel that drives Rivkah and I to do what we do. For it may be possible that when we stand before Yahushua Messiah Himself, and He says, “thank you for giving Me something to eat, something to drink,” and we say, “but when did we give You something to eat, something to drink?” And He responds, “remember? I was the Man that rounded the corner…”
“Yahuweh is near to the broken-hearted, And saves those whose spirit is crushed.” Psalm 34:18

This is a Old video that has been edited and updated with Hebrew and Greek on screen info with a powerful teaching fully exposing the fulness of the Gentiles closer.Etymologist Eliyahu at EHM Upper Room shares as detail as possible the 2 to 3 witness of scriptures showing how YHUH is accurate and on time every time He puts a time stamp to punish YIsra’el and other Nations and when their punishment begins and ends to the date time stamp, And there is no difference to the Fullness of the gentiles / Qoy / Ger / Gurim / etc so the date is revealed and completed already, It’s time for everyone to come out of the Religious system and to the Knowledge of the Truth of Torah.
Etymologist Eliyahu exposes the words commonly used by most religious groups today-and how words of the Principalities have slipped into the English language in Greek-Latin-Germanic-forms over clean Greek words and some not so clean to get the believers to speak their language of the rulers of this age controlling the education systems around the world. we’re exposing the strong holds on our tongue and words that show the fruit of these rulers of darkness active in the places’s of religious groups of worship on all sides of the fence and as Followers of Yah we need to be the called out ones to have a clean lip and tongue as a example for others and to fight these Principalities with the clean Hebrew words to have more authority in our prayers.
We declare that the Replacement Theology now made Void “Canceled”, and the lost sheep are continuing to be Restored and Grafted into YHWH /YHUH, HOUSE of Yisrael.

Baal “Lord” WEBSTER 1828 DICTIONARY
BA’AL, n. An idol among the ancient Chaldeans and Syrians, representing the sun. The word signifies also lord, or commander; and the character of the idol was varied by different nations, at different times. Thus Baal Berith is supposed to signify the Lord of the Covenant; Baal Peor, or rather Baal Phegor, the Lord of the dead. Ps. cvi, Baal Zebub, the god of flies, &c.
Baal SMITH’S BIBLE DICTIONARY
Ba’al. (lord).
-
A Reubenite 1Ch_5:5.
-
The son of Jehiel, and grandfather of Saul.1Ch_8:30; 1Ch_9:36.
The supreme male divinity of the Phoenician and Canaanitish nations, as Ashtoreth was their supreme female divinity. Some suppose Baal to correspond to the sun and Ashtoreth to the moon; others that Baal was Jupiter and Ashtoreth Venus. There can be no doubt of the very high antiquity of the worship of Baal. It prevailed in the time of Moses among the Moabites and Midianites, Num_22:41, and through them spread to the Israelites. Num_25:3-18; Num_4:3.
In the times of the kings, it became the religion of the court and people of the ten tribes, 1Ki_16:31-33;1Ki_18:19; 1Ki_18:22, and appears never to have been permanently abolished among them. 2Ki_17:16Temples were erected to Baal in Judah, 1Ki_16:32and he was worshipped with much ceremony.1Ki_18:19; 1Ki_26-28; 2Ki_10:22. The attractiveness of this worship to the Jews undoubtedly grew out of its licentious character. We find this worship also in Phoenician colonies.
The religion of the ancient British islands much resembled this ancient worship of Baal, and may have been derived from it. Nor need we hesitate to regard the Babylonian Bel, Isa_46:1, or Beaus, as essentially identical with Baal, though perhaps under some modified form. The plural, Baalim, is found frequently, showing that he was probably worshipped under different compounds, among which appear —
-
Baal-Berith. (the covenant Baal), Jdg_8:33;Jdg_9:4, the god who comes into covenant with the worshippers.
-
Baal-Zebub. (lord of the fly), and worshipped at Ekron. 2Ki_1:2-3; 2Ki_1:16.
-
Baal-Hanan. a. The name of one of the early kings of Edom. Gen_36:38-39; 1Ch_1:49-50.
-
The name of one of David’s officers, who had the superintendence of his olive and sycamore plantations. 1Ch_27:28.
-
Baal-Peor. (lord of the opening, that is, for others to join in the worship). We have already referred to the worship of this god. The narrative Numbers 25 seems clearly to show that this form of Baal-worship was connected with licentious rites.
Geographical. This word occurs as the prefix or suffix to the names of several places in Palestine, some of which are as follows:
-
Baal a town of Simeon, named only in 1Ch_4:33which from the parallel list in Jos_19:8 seems to have been identical with Baalath-Beer.
-
Baalah. (mistress).
-
Another name for Kirjath-Jearim, or Kirjath-Baal, the well-known town now Kuriet el Enab. Jos_15:9-10; 1Ch_13:6.
-
A town in the south of Judah, Jos_15:29 which inJos_19:3, is called Balah, and in the parallel list,1Ch_4:29, Bilhah.
-
Baalath. (mistress), a town of Dan named with Gibbethon, Gath-rim-mon and other Philistine places. Jos_19:44.
-
Baalath-Beer. (lord of the well). Baal, 7, a town among those in the south part of Judah, given to Simeon, which also bore the name of Ramath-Negeb, or “the height of the south.” Jos_19:8.
-
Baal-Gad. (lord of fortune), used to denote the most northern, Jos_11:17; Jos_12:7, or perhaps northwestern, Jos_13:5, point to which Joshua’s victories extended. It was in all probability a Phoenician or Canaanite sanctuary of Baal under the aspect of Gad or Fortune.
-
Baal-Hamon. (lord of a multitude), a place at which Solomon had a vineyard, evidently of great extent.Son_8:11.
-
Baal-Hazor. (village of Baal), a place where Absalom appears to have had a sheep-farm, and where Amnon was murdered. 2Sa_13:23.
-
Mountain Baal-Hermon. (Lord of Hermon), Jdg_3:3, and simply Baal-hermon. 1Ch_5:23 This is usually considered as a distinct place from Mount Hermon; but we know that this mountain had at least three names Deu_3:9 and Baal-hermon may have been a fourth in use among the Phoenician worshippers.
-
Baal-Meon. (lord of the house), one of the towns which were built by the Reubenites. Num_32:38. It also occurs in 1Ch_5:8 and on each occasion with Nebo. In the time of Ezekiel, it was Moabite, one of the cities which were the “glory of the country.”Eze_25:9.
-
Baal-Perazim. (lord of divisions), the scene of a victory of David over the Philistines, and of a great destruction of their images. 2Sa_5:20; 1Ch_14:11. See Isa_28:21 where it is called Mountain Perazim.
-
Baal-Shalisha. (lord of Shalisha), a place named only in 2Ki_4:42 apparently not far from Gilgal; Compare 2Ki_4:38.
-
Baal-Tamar. (lord of the palm tree), a place named only in Jdg_20:33 as near Gibeah of Benjamin. The palm tree (Hebrew, tamar) of Deborah, Jdg_4:5, was situated somewhere in the locality, and is possibly alluded to.
-
Baal-Zephon. (lord of the north), a place in Egypt near where the Israelites crossed the Red Sea.Num_33:7; Eze_14:2; Eze_9. We place Baal-zephon on the western shore of the Gulf of Suez, a little below its head, which at that time was about 30 or 40 miles northward of the Present head.

Name and Character of Baal
In Babylonia it was the title specially applied to Merodach of Babylon, which in time came to be used in place of his actual name. As the word in Hebrew also means “possessor,” it has been supposed to have originally signified, when used in a religious sense, the god of a particular piece of land or soil. Of this, however, there is no proof, and the sense of “possessor” is derived from that of “lord.” The Babylonian Bel-Merodach was a Sun-god, and so too was the Can Baal whose full title was Baal-Shemaim, “lord of heaven.” The Phoenician writer Sanchuniathon (Philo Byblius, Fragmenta II) accordingly says that the children of the first generation of mankind “in time of drought stretched forth their hands to heaven toward the sun; for they regarded him as the sole Lord of heaven, and called him Beel–samēn, which means ‘Lord of Heaven’ in the Phoenician language and is equivalent to Zeus in Greek” Baal-Shemaim had a temple at Umm el-Awamid between Acre and Tyre, and his name is found in inscriptions from the Phoenician colonies of Sardinia and Carthage.
-
Attributes of Baal
As the Sun-god, Baal was worshipped under two aspects, beneficent and destructive. On the one hand he gave light and warmth to his worshippers; on the other hand the fierce heats of summer destroyed the vegetation he had himself brought into being. Hence, human victims were sacrificed to him in order to appease his anger in time of plague or other trouble, the victim being usually the first-born of the sacrificer and being burnt alive. In the Old Testament this is euphemistically termed “passing” the victim “through the fire” (2Ki_16:3; 2Ki_21:6). The forms under which Baal was worshipped were necessarily as numerous as the communities which worshipped him. Each locality had its own Baal or divine “Lord” who frequently took his name from the city or place to which he belonged. Hence, there was a Baal-Zur, “Baal of Tyre”; Baal-hermon, “Baal of Hermon” (Jdg_3:3); Baal-Lebanon, “Baal of Lebanon”; Baal-Tarz, “Baal of Tarsus.” At other times the title was attached to the name of an individual god; Thus we have Bel-Merodach, “the Lord Merodach” (or “Bel is Merodach”) at Babylon, Baal-Melkarth at Tyre, Baal-gad (Jos_11:17) in the north of Palestine. Occasionally the second element was noun as in Baal-Shemaim, “lord of heaven,” Baalzebub (2Ki_1:2), “Lord of flies,” Baal–Hammān, usually interpreted “Lord of heat,” but more probably “Lord of the sunpillar,” the tutelary deity of Carthage. All these various forms of the Sun-god were collectively known as the Baalim or “Baals” who took their place by the side of the female Ashtaroth and Ashtrim. At Carthage the female consort of Baal was termedPenē–Baal, “the face” or “reflection of Baal.”
III. Baal-Worship
In the earlier days of Hebrew history the title Baal, or “Lord,” was applied to the national God of Israel, a usage which was revived in later times, and is familiar to us in the King James Version. Hence both Jonathan and David had sons called Merib-baal (1Ch_8:31; 1Ch_9:40) and Beeliada (1Ch_14:7). After the time of Ahab, however, the name became associated with the worship and rites of the Phoenician deity introduced into Samaria by Jezebel, and its idolatrous associations accordingly caused it to fall into disrepute. Hosea (Hos_2:16) declares that henceforth the God of Israel should no longer be called Baali, “my Baal,” and personal names like Esh-baal (1Ch_8:33; 1Ch_9:39), and Beelinda into which it entered were changed in form, Baal being turned into bōsheth which in Heb at any rate conveyed the sense of “shame.”
-
Temples, Etc
Temples of Baal at Samaria and Jerusalem are mentioned in 1Ki_1:18; where they had been erected at the time when the Ahab dynasty endeavored to fuse Israelites and Jews and Phoenicians into a single people under the same national Phoenician god. Altars on which incense was burned to Baal were set up in all the streets of Jerusalem according to Jeremiah (Jer_11:13), apparently on the flat roofs of the houses (Jer_32:29); and the temple of Baal contained an image of the god in the shape of a pillar or Bethel (2Ki_10:26, 2Ki_10:27). In the reign of Ahab, Baal was served in Israel by 450 priests (1Ki_18:19), as well as by prophets (2Ki_10:19), and his worshippers wore special vestments when his ritual was performed (2Ki_10:22). The ordinary offering made to the god consisted of incense (Jer_7:9) and burnt sacrifices; on extraordinary occasions the victim was human (Jer_19:5). At times the priests worked themselves into a state of ecstasy, and dancing round the altar slashed themselves with knives (1Ki_18:26, 1Ki_18:28), like certain dervish orders in modern Islam.

Use of the Name
In accordance with its signification the name of Baal is generally used with the definite art.; in the Septuagint this often takes the feminine form, ἀισχύνη, aischúnē “shame” being intended to be read. We find the same usage in Rom_11:4. The feminine counterpart of Baal was Baalah or Baalath which is found in a good many of the local names (see Baethgen, Beitrage zur semitischen Religionsgeschichte, 1888).

Forms of Baal
-
Baal-Berith
Baal-berith בּעל בּרית, ba‛al berı̄th; Βααλβερίθ,Baalberı́th, “Covenant Baal,” was worshipped at Shechem after the death of Gideon (Jdg_8:33;Jdg_9:4). In Jdg_9:46 the name is replaced by El-berith, “Covenant-god.” The covenant was that made by the god with his worshippers, less probably between the Israelites and the native Canaanites.
-
Baal-Gad
Baal-gad בּעל גּד, ba‛al gādh; Βαλαγάδα, Balagáda, “Baal [lord of good luck” (or “Baal is Gad”) was the god of a town called after his name in the north of Palestine, which has often been identified with Baalbek. The god is termed simply Gad in Isa_65:11the Revised Version, margin; where he is associated with Meni, the Assyrian Manu (King James Version “troop” and “number”).
-
Baal-Hamon
Baal-hamon בּעל המון, ba‛al hāmōn; Βεελαμών,Beelamō̇n is known only from the fact that Solomon had a garden at a place of that name (Son_8:11). The name is usually explained to mean “Baal of the multitude,” but the cuneiform tablets of the Tell el-Amarna age found in Palestine show that the Egyptian god Amon was worshipped in Canaan and identified there with the native Baal. We are therefore justified in reading the name Baal-Amon, a parallel to the Babylonian Bel-Merodach. The name has no connection with that of the Carthaginian deity Baal-hamman.
-
Baal-Hermon
Baal-hermon בּעל חרמון, ba‛al ḥermōn; Βαλαερμών,Balaermō̇n is found in the name of “the mountain of Baal-hermon” (Jdg_3:3; compare 1Ch_5:23), which also bore the names of Hermort, Sirion and Shenir (Saniru in the Assyrian inscriptions), the second name being applied to it by the Phoenicians and the third by the Amorites (Deu_3:9). Baal-hermon will consequently be a formation similar to Baal-Lebanon in an inscription from Cyprus; according to the Phoenician writer Sanchuniathon (Philo Byblius, Fragmenta II) the third generation of men “begat sons of surprising size and stature, whose names were given to the mountains of which they had obtained possession.”
-
Baal-Peor
Baal-peor בּעל פעור, ba‛al pe‛ōr; Βεελφεγώρ,Beelphegō̇r was god of the Moabite mountains, who took his name from Mount Peor (Num_23:28), the modern Fa‛ūr, and was probably a form of Chemosh (Jerome, Comm., Isa_15:1-9). The sensual rites with which he was worshipped (Num_25:1-3) indicate his connection with the Phoenician Baal.
-
Baal-Zebub
Baal-zebub בּעל זבוּב, ba‛al zebhūbh; Βααλμυία Θεός,Baalmuı́a Theós (“Baal the fly god”) was worshipped at Ekron where he had famous oracle (2Ki_1:2,2Ki_1:3, 2Ki_1:16). The name is generally translated “the Lord of flies,” the Sun-god being associated with the flies which swarm in Palestine during the earlier summer months. It is met with in Assyrian inscriptions. In the New Testament the name assumes the form of Beelzebul (Βεελζεβούλ), in King James Version: BEELZEBUB (which see).
FAUSSET’S BIBLE DICTIONARY
Baal (1)
The chief male deity, as Ashtoreth is the chief goddess, of the Canaanites and Phoenicians. Baalim, the plural form, expresses the various aspects of Baal, as different localities viewed him. Baal is also associated with Aaherah, inaccurately translated “THE GROVE” or “groves” (Jdg_3:7; 2Ch_33:3;2Ch_34:4; 2Ki_23:5-6). (See ASHERAH.) Baal means lord, in the sense of owner, possessor; but Adownmeans lord, master. The Hebrew article distinguishes the proper name Baal from the common noun; Bel, the Babylonian idol (Isa_46:1), is related. Midian and Moab, as early as Moses’ time, tempted Israel, by Balaam’s devilish counsel (Rev_2:14; Jos_13:22;Num_25:18), to worship the phase of the deity called Baal-peor (Numbers 25), from peor, “aperire hymenem virgineum” corresponding to the Latin,Priapus.
Terrible licentiousness not only was sanctioned, but formed part of the worship. A plague from Jehovah destroyed 24,000 Israelites in consequence, and was only stopped by the zeal of Phinehas. Moses subsequently, when warning the people from this example, notices no circumstance of it but one, which, though in the original narrative not stated, was infinitely the most important to advert to, but which none but spectators of the fact, perfectly acquainted with every individual concerned in it, could possibly feel the truth of. “Your eyes have seen what Jehovah did because of Baal-peor, for all the men that followed Baal-peor the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you. But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day” (Deu_4:3). For Moses to have used this argument was extremely natural but if a forger had asserted this at hazard, and put it in Moses’ mouth it seems very strange that it is the only circumstance he should forget to notice in the direct narrative, and the only one he should notice in his reference to it (Graves, Pentateuch, 1:4).
Baal worship prevailed much in Israel, except during Gideon’s judgeship (hence called Jerubbaal, “let Baal plead”), up to Samuel’s time (Jdg_2:10-13;Jdg_6:26-32; Jdg_8:33; Jdg_10:6-10). At Samuel’s reproof they put away this worship (1Sa_7:4). Solomon brought back Ashtoreth worship to please his foreign wives. Ahab, king of Israel, under Jezebel’s influence (daughter of Ethbaal, priest of Baal and king of Zidon), established the worship of Baal and Asherah (“the groves”): 1Ki_16:31-33;1Ki_18:19-22. Elijah successfully for a time resisted it. His influence and that of king Jehoshaphat produced its effect in the following reign and that of Jehu. It was laid aside for Jeroboam’s calves, under Jehoram, Ahab’s son (2Ki_3:2), and under Jehu (2Ki_10:28); but for the most part prevailed until the Lord in vengeance removed the ten tribes from their land (2Ki_17:16).
Baal worship also in Judah found entrance under Ahaz (2Ch_28:2-3), but was suppressed by Hezekiah (2Ki_18:4). Manasseh sought to bring Judah to the same state of Baal worship as Israel had been under Ahab (2Ki_21:3; compare Mic_6:16). Josiah made a thorough eradication of it (2Ki_23:4-14). A remnant of it and an effort to combine idolatry with Jehovah worship still in part survived until the final purgation of all tendency to idols was effected by the severe discipline of the Babylonian captivity (Zep_1:4-6). The Hebrew for “Sodomites” (1Ki_14:24; 1Ki_15:12;1Ki_22:46; 2Ki_23:7) is qideshim, “those consecrated” to the vilest filthiness, which constituted part of the sacred worship! Flat roofs at Jerusalem were often used as altars (Jer_32:29).
“Standing images,” or possibly pillars or obelisks (matsebah) were his symbols (1Ki_14:23; 2Ki_18:4;2Ki_23:14; Mic_5:13). “Sun images” (hammanim;Isa_17:8; Isa_27:9; 2Ch_34:4) “were on high above the altars” of Baal (Jer_43:13); “the images of Bethshemesh,” literally “the pillars (obelisks) of the house of the sun.” At Tyre one title was Malqereth “King of the city.” In a Maltese inscription, Melkart, lord of Tyre, is identified with “Hercules, the prince leader” of the Greeks; from melek “king,” and qereth“of the city.” Tyre’s colonies (Carthage, etc.) honored Melkart, the god of the mother city; the name appears in Hamilcar. An inscription at Palmyra names him Baal Shemesh, owner of the sun. Philo says his title among the Phoenicians was Beelsamen (shamain), “owner of the heavens.”
Plautus also in his Poenulus calls him Bal-samen. Contrast Melchizedek’s title for Jehovah, “PossessorQoneh; not Baal of heaven and earth” (Gen_14:19). High places were chosen for Baal worship, and human victims were sometimes offered as burnt offerings (Jer_19:5). The worshippers wore peculiar vestments (2Ki_10:22). They gashed themselves with knives at times to move his pity (1Ki_18:26-28). The name appears in Asdrubal (“help of Baal”), Hannibal (“grace of Baal”), Adherbaal, Ethbaal. His generating, vivifying power is symbolized by the sun (2Ki_23:5), as Ashtoreth is by the moon, Venus, and the heavenly hosts.
EASTON’S BIBLE DICTIONARY
Baal
Lord.
(1.) The name appropriated to the principal male god of the Phoenicians. It is found in several places in the plural BAALIM (Jdg_2:11; Jdg_10:10; 1Ki_18:18;Jer_2:23; Hos_2:17). Baal is identified with Molech (Jer_19:5). It was known to the Israelites as Baal-peor (Num_25:3; Deu_4:3), was worshipped till the time of Samuel (1Sa_7:4), and was afterwards the religion of the ten tribes in the time of Ahab (1Ki_16:31-33;1Ki_18:19, 1Ki_18:22). It prevailed also for a time in the kingdom of Judah (2Ki_8:27; compare 2Ki_11:18;2Ki_16:3; 2Ch_28:2). till finally put an end to by the severe discipline of the Captivity (Zep_1:4-6). The priests of Baal were in great numbers (1Ki_18:19), and of various classes (2Ki_10:19). Their mode of offering sacrifices is described in 1Ki_18:25-29. The sun-god, under the general title of Baal, or “lord,” was the chief object of worship of the Canaanites. Each locality had its special Baal, and the various local Baals were summed up under the name of Baalim, or “lords.” Each Baal had a wife, who was a colourless reflection of himself.
(2.) A Benjamite, son of Jehiel, the progenitor of the Gibeonites (1Ch_8:30; 1Ch_9:36).
(3.) The name of a place inhabited by the Simeonites, the same probably as Baal-ath-beer (1Ch_4:33;Jos_19:8).
1. Yah’ushua vs Yahu’shua =shua as Vain.
Yes SHUA H7723 & 7722 “Shav”Shawu”Shau” in Ex.20:7, Vain”means a bad word, but has several different meanings not just here Like Lev.26:16 Vain=H7385 REEK. Deut.32:47=Vain H7386 Rake rake,
1 Sam.12:21 Vain=8414 Tohu, 1 Sam.25:21
Vain=H8267=Sheqer… and there is much much more. But look at the first one H7723 & 7722=Shawu does that look like shua,
It Has the almost the same Phonetic sound but these are Latin letters creating Hebrew Phonetic sounds there not the same.
Also she leaves out the fact that the Name of our Messiah is Ye^h’ushua found in Num.13:16=Mosheh changed Hoshea Oshea
H1954 & 3442=Salvation by Kinsmen redeemer) to Ye^hushua Yahushua adding the H3068 root of 3467 Yahuwah Yahuah
to the short sound H3050 YaHH like Hallelu’ YaH in front of Hoshea’s name which turns the Hebrew name now to # H3091=
Yah’ushua the Phonetic break down is Ye^h’ ushua” Not Yahu-shua; they never show this one letter moved the wrong way, this
changes the meaning and sound of each part of a word in Hebrew Yibri’e like so many new believers say Tor’ah but it is To’ raH
The Phonetic sound changes some never shows this. In Strongs Hebrew Greek concordance the H3091 is (yeh-ho-shoo-ah ) the e is A sound
some never shows this either, same name as mentioned in my teaching of this on Youtube =His name is Yahushua=
Zechariah 3:1, 3, 6, 8, 9, Haggai 1:1, 14, all these verses are in my video. We have spotted some afro-american groups going around arguing with others to prove their point of view and condemning others if they don’t believe their way only, which is wrong even if someone did use “Yahusha” as their savior we don’t condemn them because there is places where it’s spelled
this way and Yah’usha which means Yahuwah’s Salvation. But in Luke 1:31, 2:21= His name Iesus #2424 is linked to Hebrew #h3091 the same as Num.13:16, where Mosheh changed lengthened Hoshea name to Yahushua, so We must walk in His Shem=
Name which is His Character of his love, And this spirit on these people judging others are not walking in His love. I believe this will help.

“Adoption” and the Suzerain Bride by Stephen Kraner
Some time ago, I have posted my study on the Suzerain Bride. The ancient concept of the suzerain bride unlocks the question as to, Who is the Bride of Messiah? Jews say that they are the “covenant bride” of YHWH. Christians say that they are the New Covenant “bride” of YHWH. Revelation says that New Jerusalem is the Lamb’s Bride. Isaiah 62:4 says, “thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for YHWH delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.” In the Song of Songs, Solomon’s bride is the Shulamite woman. Per my mentor, Doug Waterhouse, “Shulamite” is an endearment referring to an inhabitant of Jerusalem. As the old TV show asked, Will the true bride please stand up?
Well, the answer solved by understanding the ancient suzerain marriage. (Bear with me, I will get to the issue of the “adoption”.)
A very ancient custom was the Suzerain Marriage. I was introduced to it by my mentor, Doug Waterhouse, prof. Andrews University, retired. I was able to wrap my head around the custom through Myocean Greece and the city states. A king from one city has a daughter. Another king from another city state has a son. The king from the one city send a message to the king of the other city that he would like to arrange a marriage. The king, with the son, sends his son to “court” the princess of the other city-state. The king has trained his son. The son is looking out for the interests of his father and his father’s kingdom. Upon arriving, the son/prince “courts” the princess. The son also checks out the economy of the city, the battlements of the city, the strength of its walls, the strength of its navy and army, the health of its citizens. When the son has completed his “courting” he wispers his intent to the princess and returns to his father to arrange for the wedding. WHILE HE IS GONE, THE PRINCES ADOPTS ALL THE ORPHAN CHILDREN SO THAT UPON THE MARRIAGE, THERE WILL BE NO ORPHANS IN HER CITY !!!
When the prince marries the princess, he marries the city. To signify this, at the time of the marriage, he would crown his bride with a crown in the shape of the walls of her city. (When wealthy Jews get married, the crown their bride with a crown called, “Jerusalem of Gold”.) When the prince marries the princess, he marries her city. When the prince maries the princess, he marries the inhabitants of the city. When the prince marries the princess, he marries the land belonging to the city of the princess. When the prince marries the princess, he marries the people living on the land belonging to the city of the princess. SO,WHO IS THE BRIDE? ALL OF THE ABOVE!
1. The bride is the princess;
2. The bride is the princess’ city;
3. The bride is the people living in the city of the princess;
4. The bride is the land belonging to the city of the princess; and,
5. The bride is the people living on the land belonging to the city of the princess.
I propose that with Messiah Yahushua, it is the same. There is a singular Princess that He is to marry. He is going to marry the city, New Jerusalem. He is going to marry the inhabitants of that city, which includes specifically, the 144,000 and the 24 elders and some other dignitaries. He is going to marry the land belong to that city, (a couple levels here: the literal land of Israel, then by extension, the entire planet). And, He is going to marry the people living on the land belonging to that city, (again, two levels here: the redeemed of the literal people of Israel; and, the redeemed of the entire planet).
Where I have particular interest is in the identity of the Princess. I believe that the Princess is She who was revealed when Messiah, as the second Adam was put into a deep sleep on the cross and, like the first Adam, His side was pierced and from that pierced side flowed water and blood, BOTH symbols of the Ruach ha’Chodesh (Holy Spirit). She is the second Eve. She is the Comforter, Whom the Father sent in Messiah’s name so that the disciples would not be “orphans”.
“18 I will not leave you comfortless [Greek: orphanos]: I will come to you.” John 14:18.
Above, I noted that while the prince was away, arranging the marriage, THE PRINCESS WOULD ADOPT ALL THE ORPHAN CHILDREN OF HER CITY, SO THAT THERE WOULD BE NO ORPHANS IN HER CITY UPON THE MARRIAGE.
Next, we go to the “adoption” texts:
1. Ephesians 1:5: “Having predestinated us unto the ADOPTION OF CHILDREN by Yahushua ha’Meshiach to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,”
Note: This text indicates, by way of the word, “predestinated”, that our “adoption” was pre-planned. It was no after-thought. This “adoption” pertains to the “mystery hid from before the foundation of the earth.” (Eph. 3:9; Col. 1:26; Eph. 1:4)
2. Romans 9:4: “Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the ADOPTION, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Torah, and the service of Elohim, and the promises;”
3. Galatians 4:5: “To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the ADOPTION OF SONS.”
4. Romans 8:15: “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of ADOPTION, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”
Note: See my comments below.
5. Romans 8:23: “And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the ADOPTION, to wit, the redemption of our body.”
Note: The “adoption” is not complete until our bodies are redeemed.
Having listed the “adoption” texts, above, I turn now to the Princess of the Suzerain Marriage. The fourth text above, Romans 8:15 reveals Her:
“26 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of ADOPTION, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” Romans 8:23.
We have received the Spirit, She Who “ADOPTS”!!! We are being adopted. Every soul that turns to Elohim through faith in Messiah Yahushua, is being adopted. She is the Princess who is “adopting” the orphans! “The Spirit also maketh intercession.” It is She, the Spirit of the Son, who cries, “Abba Father”. She is His Daughter. She is represented by the female sacrifices. When/if, we cry “Abba Father”, it is because of Her. It is through Her.
New Jerusalem is describe as being clothed in fine linen, which is the righteous acts of the Saints. As in the parable of the ten virgins, not everyone is the Bride. “Even Wisdom is justified of Her children.” Matthew 11:19. The ancient suzerain bride was crowned with a crown that was made to look like the walls of her city. When the prince married her, he married her city. The princess is the “Voice” of the citizens of her city. In Revelation, BOTH the Spirit and the Bride say, Come. I believe that the Spirit, is the Divine Mother and the Bride is the Divine Daughter, the Spirit of the Son, the Comforter, sent in the Son’s name.
It occurred to me to ask, How is it that there are “orphans”? Because, our Father, the Devil is going to die. Our Mother Earth is going to die. Here are “orphans”. Those who believe in Messiah Yahushua are accepted as “orphans” and adopted into the Heavenly family, through the ministration of the Spirit of the Son. She is the Adopting Spirit, the Princess who adopts the orphans so that they will not be Fatherless.
Additional comments:
A mountain represents a “king” and his “kingdom”:
Revelation 17:9-10: “And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are SEVEN MOUNTAINS, on which the woman sitteth. And there are SEVEN KINGS: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.”
There is a “heavenly mount Sion”.
Hebrews 12:22: “But ye are come unto MOUNT SION, and unto the city of the living Elohim, the HEAVENLY JERUSALEM, and to an innumerable company of angels,”
Jerusalem is referred to as “the daughter of Zion”:
Zephaniah 3:14: “Sing, O DAUGHTER of ZION; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.”
Jeremiah 6:2: “I have likened the DAUGHTER of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.”
Revelation 21:9-10: “And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the BRIDE, the Lamb’s WIFE. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and HIGH MOUNTAIN, and shewed me that great city, the HOLY JERUSALEM, descending out of heaven from Elohim.”
Revelation 21:11: “Having the glory of Elohim: and her light was like unto a STONE most precious, even LIKE A JASPER STONE, clear as crystal;”
Revelation 4:2-3: “And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a JASPER and a SARDINE STONE: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.”
The city, New Jerusalem, is able to speak:
Revelation 22:17: “And the Spirit and the BRIDE say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”
When you understand the idea of the suzerain bride, that she is associated to and equated to her city, that upon the marriage the prints would crown her with the crown that had the shape of the walls of the city to which she was becoming queen, then you understand that New Jerusalem is more than just a city.
Above I pointed out that a mountain represents the king. New Jerusalem is described as a stone descending to the earth from heaven, from a great and high mountain, having the appearance of a Jasper stone. Then, above, I quoted from Revelation chapter 4. The one sitting up on the throne has the appearance of the Jasper and of a sardine stone. MY POINT IS THAT NEW JERUSALEM HAS THE SAME DIVINE NATURE, JASPER, AS THE ONE SITTING ON THE THRONE IN REVELATION 4!
The great high mountain is the Father and/or the Divine Mother. Here we have a Divine Daughter.
Do you see why I believe in a divine, royal family of four persons? Father, Mother, only begotten Son and, only begotten Daughter. She is the Spirit of the Son

Baal “Lord” WEBSTER 1828 DICTIONARY
BA’AL, n. An idol among the ancient Chaldeans and Syrians, representing the sun. The word signifies also lord, or commander; and the character of the idol was varied by different nations, at different times. Thus Baal Berith is supposed to signify the Lord of the Covenant; Baal Peor, or rather Baal Phegor, the Lord of the dead. Ps. cvi, Baal Zebub, the god of flies, &c.
Baal SMITH’S BIBLE DICTIONARY
Ba’al. (lord).
-
A Reubenite 1Ch_5:5.
-
The son of Jehiel, and grandfather of Saul. 1Ch_8:30; 1Ch_9:36.
The supreme male divinity of the Phoenician and Canaanitish nations, as Ashtoreth was their supreme female divinity. Some suppose Baal to correspond to the sun and Ashtoreth to the moon; others that Baal was Jupiter and Ashtoreth Venus. There can be no doubt of the very high antiquity of the worship of Baal. It prevailed in the time of Moses among the Moabites and Midianites, Num_22:41, and through them spread to the Israelites. Num_25:3-18; Num_4:3.
In the times of the kings, it became the religion of the court and people of the ten tribes, 1Ki_16:31-33; 1Ki_18:19; 1Ki_18:22, and appears never to have been permanently abolished among them. 2Ki_17:16 Temples were erected to Baal in Judah, 1Ki_16:32 and he was worshipped with much ceremony. 1Ki_18:19; 1Ki_26-28; 2Ki_10:22. The attractiveness of this worship to the Jews undoubtedly grew out of its licentious character. We find this worship also in Phoenician colonies.
The religion of the ancient British islands much resembled this ancient worship of Baal, and may have been derived from it. Nor need we hesitate to regard the Babylonian Bel, Isa_46:1, or Beaus, as essentially identical with Baal, though perhaps under some modified form. The plural, Baalim, is found frequently, showing that he was probably worshipped under different compounds, among which appear —
-
Baal-Berith. (the covenant Baal), Jdg_8:33; Jdg_9:4, the god who comes into covenant with the worshippers.
-
Baal-Zebub. (lord of the fly), and worshipped at Ekron. 2Ki_1:2-3; 2Ki_1:16.
-
Baal-Hanan. a. The name of one of the early kings of Edom. Gen_36:38-39; 1Ch_1:49-50.
-
The name of one of David’s officers, who had the superintendence of his olive and sycamore plantations. 1Ch_27:28.
-
Baal-Peor. (lord of the opening, that is, for others to join in the worship). We have already referred to the worship of this god. The narrative Numbers 25 seems clearly to show that this form of Baal-worship was connected with licentious rites.
Geographical. This word occurs as the prefix or suffix to the names of several places in Palestine, some of which are as follows:
-
Baal a town of Simeon, named only in 1Ch_4:33 which from the parallel list in Jos_19:8 seems to have been identical with Baalath-Beer.
-
Baalah. (mistress).
-
Another name for Kirjath-Jearim, or Kirjath-Baal, the well-known town now Kuriet el Enab. Jos_15:9-10; 1Ch_13:6.
-
A town in the south of Judah, Jos_15:29 which in Jos_19:3, is called Balah, and in the parallel list, 1Ch_4:29, Bilhah.
-
Baalath. (mistress), a town of Dan named with Gibbethon, Gath-rim-mon and other Philistine places. Jos_19:44.
-
Baalath-Beer. (lord of the well). Baal, 7, a town among those in the south part of Judah, given to Simeon, which also bore the name of Ramath-Negeb, or “the height of the south.” Jos_19:8.
-
Baal-Gad. (lord of fortune), used to denote the most northern, Jos_11:17; Jos_12:7, or perhaps northwestern, Jos_13:5, point to which Joshua’s victories extended. It was in all probability a Phoenician or Canaanite sanctuary of Baal under the aspect of Gad or Fortune.
-
Baal-Hamon. (lord of a multitude), a place at which Solomon had a vineyard, evidently of great extent. Son_8:11.
-
Baal-Hazor. (village of Baal), a place where Absalom appears to have had a sheep-farm, and where Amnon was murdered. 2Sa_13:23.
-
Mountain Baal-Hermon. (Lord of Hermon), Jdg_3:3, and simply Baal-hermon. 1Ch_5:23 This is usually considered as a distinct place from Mount Hermon; but we know that this mountain had at least three names Deu_3:9 and Baal-hermon may have been a fourth in use among the Phoenician worshippers.
-
Baal-Meon. (lord of the house), one of the towns which were built by the Reubenites. Num_32:38. It also occurs in 1Ch_5:8 and on each occasion with Nebo. In the time of Ezekiel, it was Moabite, one of the cities which were the “glory of the country.” Eze_25:9.
-
Baal-Perazim. (lord of divisions), the scene of a victory of David over the Philistines, and of a great destruction of their images. 2Sa_5:20; 1Ch_14:11. See Isa_28:21 where it is called Mountain Perazim.
-
Baal-Shalisha. (lord of Shalisha), a place named only in 2Ki_4:42 apparently not far from Gilgal; Compare 2Ki_4:38.
-
Baal-Tamar. (lord of the palm tree), a place named only in Jdg_20:33 as near Gibeah of Benjamin. The palm tree (Hebrew, tamar) of Deborah, Jdg_4:5, was situated somewhere in the locality, and is possibly alluded to.
-
Baal-Zephon. (lord of the north), a place in Egypt near where the Israelites crossed the Red Sea. Num_33:7; Eze_14:2; Eze_9. We place Baal-zephon on the western shore of the Gulf of Suez, a little below its head, which at that time was about 30 or 40 miles northward of the Present head.

Name and Character of Baal
In Babylonia it was the title specially applied to Merodach of Babylon, which in time came to be used in place of his actual name. As the word in Hebrew also means “possessor,” it has been supposed to have originally signified, when used in a religious sense, the god of a particular piece of land or soil. Of this, however, there is no proof, and the sense of “possessor” is derived from that of “lord.” The Babylonian Bel-Merodach was a Sun-god, and so too was the Can Baal whose full title was Baal-Shemaim, “lord of heaven.” The Phoenician writer Sanchuniathon (Philo Byblius, Fragmenta II) accordingly says that the children of the first generation of mankind “in time of drought stretched forth their hands to heaven toward the sun; for they regarded him as the sole Lord of heaven, and called him Beel–samēn, which means ‘Lord of Heaven’ in the Phoenician language and is equivalent to Zeus in Greek” Baal-Shemaim had a temple at Umm el-Awamid between Acre and Tyre, and his name is found in inscriptions from the Phoenician colonies of Sardinia and Carthage.
-
Attributes of Baal
As the Sun-god, Baal was worshipped under two aspects, beneficent and destructive. On the one hand he gave light and warmth to his worshippers; on the other hand the fierce heats of summer destroyed the vegetation he had himself brought into being. Hence, human victims were sacrificed to him in order to appease his anger in time of plague or other trouble, the victim being usually the first-born of the sacrificer and being burnt alive. In the Old Testament this is euphemistically termed “passing” the victim “through the fire” (2Ki_16:3; 2Ki_21:6). The forms under which Baal was worshipped were necessarily as numerous as the communities which worshipped him. Each locality had its own Baal or divine “Lord” who frequently took his name from the city or place to which he belonged. Hence, there was a Baal-Zur, “Baal of Tyre”; Baal-hermon, “Baal of Hermon” (Jdg_3:3); Baal-Lebanon, “Baal of Lebanon”; Baal-Tarz, “Baal of Tarsus.” At other times the title was attached to the name of an individual god; Thus we have Bel-Merodach, “the Lord Merodach” (or “Bel is Merodach”) at Babylon, Baal-Melkarth at Tyre, Baal-gad (Jos_11:17) in the north of Palestine. Occasionally the second element was noun as in Baal-Shemaim, “lord of heaven,” Baalzebub (2Ki_1:2), “Lord of flies,” Baal–Hammān, usually interpreted “Lord of heat,” but more probably “Lord of the sunpillar,” the tutelary deity of Carthage. All these various forms of the Sun-god were collectively known as the Baalim or “Baals” who took their place by the side of the female Ashtaroth and Ashtrim. At Carthage the female consort of Baal was termed Penē–Baal, “the face” or “reflection of Baal.”
III. Baal-Worship
In the earlier days of Hebrew history the title Baal, or “Lord,” was applied to the national God of Israel, a usage which was revived in later times, and is familiar to us in the King James Version. Hence both Jonathan and David had sons called Merib-baal (1Ch_8:31; 1Ch_9:40) and Beeliada (1Ch_14:7). After the time of Ahab, however, the name became associated with the worship and rites of the Phoenician deity introduced into Samaria by Jezebel, and its idolatrous associations accordingly caused it to fall into disrepute. Hosea (Hos_2:16) declares that henceforth the God of Israel should no longer be called Baali, “my Baal,” and personal names like Esh-baal (1Ch_8:33; 1Ch_9:39), and Beelinda into which it entered were changed in form, Baal being turned into bōsheth which in Heb at any rate conveyed the sense of “shame.”
-
Temples, Etc
Temples of Baal at Samaria and Jerusalem are mentioned in 1Ki_1:18; where they had been erected at the time when the Ahab dynasty endeavored to fuse Israelites and Jews and Phoenicians into a single people under the same national Phoenician god. Altars on which incense was burned to Baal were set up in all the streets of Jerusalem according to Jeremiah (Jer_11:13), apparently on the flat roofs of the houses (Jer_32:29); and the temple of Baal contained an image of the god in the shape of a pillar or Bethel (2Ki_10:26, 2Ki_10:27). In the reign of Ahab, Baal was served in Israel by 450 priests (1Ki_18:19), as well as by prophets (2Ki_10:19), and his worshippers wore special vestments when his ritual was performed (2Ki_10:22). The ordinary offering made to the god consisted of incense (Jer_7:9) and burnt sacrifices; on extraordinary occasions the victim was human (Jer_19:5). At times the priests worked themselves into a state of ecstasy, and dancing round the altar slashed themselves with knives (1Ki_18:26, 1Ki_18:28), like certain dervish orders in modern Islam.
-
Use of the Name
In accordance with its signification the name of Baal is generally used with the definite art.; in the Septuagint this often takes the feminine form, ἀισχύνη, aischúnē “shame” being intended to be read. We find the same usage in Rom_11:4. The feminine counterpart of Baal was Baalah or Baalath which is found in a good many of the local names (see Baethgen, Beitrage zur semitischen Religionsgeschichte, 1888).
-
Forms of Baal
-
Baal-Berith
Baal-berith בּעל בּרית, ba‛al berı̄th; Βααλβερίθ, Baalberı́th, “Covenant Baal,” was worshipped at Shechem after the death of Gideon (Jdg_8:33; Jdg_9:4). In Jdg_9:46 the name is replaced by El-berith, “Covenant-god.” The covenant was that made by the god with his worshippers, less probably between the Israelites and the native Canaanites.
-
Baal-Gad
Baal-gad בּעל גּד, ba‛al gādh; Βαλαγάδα, Balagáda, “Baal [lord of good luck” (or “Baal is Gad”) was the god of a town called after his name in the north of Palestine, which has often been identified with Baalbek. The god is termed simply Gad in Isa_65:11 the Revised Version, margin; where he is associated with Meni, the Assyrian Manu (King James Version “troop” and “number”).
-
Baal-Hamon
Baal-hamon בּעל המון, ba‛al hāmōn; Βεελαμών, Beelamō̇n is known only from the fact that Solomon had a garden at a place of that name (Son_8:11). The name is usually explained to mean “Baal of the multitude,” but the cuneiform tablets of the Tell el-Amarna age found in Palestine show that the Egyptian god Amon was worshipped in Canaan and identified there with the native Baal. We are therefore justified in reading the name Baal-Amon, a parallel to the Babylonian Bel-Merodach. The name has no connection with that of the Carthaginian deity Baal-hamman.
-
Baal-Hermon
Baal-hermon בּעל חרמון, ba‛al ḥermōn; Βαλαερμών, Balaermō̇n is found in the name of “the mountain of Baal-hermon” (Jdg_3:3; compare 1Ch_5:23), which also bore the names of Hermort, Sirion and Shenir (Saniru in the Assyrian inscriptions), the second name being applied to it by the Phoenicians and the third by the Amorites (Deu_3:9). Baal-hermon will consequently be a formation similar to Baal-Lebanon in an inscription from Cyprus; according to the Phoenician writer Sanchuniathon (Philo Byblius, Fragmenta II) the third generation of men “begat sons of surprising size and stature, whose names were given to the mountains of which they had obtained possession.”
-
Baal-Peor
Baal-peor בּעל פעור, ba‛al pe‛ōr; Βεελφεγώρ, Beelphegō̇r was god of the Moabite mountains, who took his name from Mount Peor (Num_23:28), the modern Fa‛ūr, and was probably a form of Chemosh (Jerome, Comm., Isa_15:1-9). The sensual rites with which he was worshipped (Num_25:1-3) indicate his connection with the Phoenician Baal.
-
Baal-Zebub
Baal-zebub בּעל זבוּב, ba‛al zebhūbh; Βααλμυία Θεός, Baalmuı́a Theós (“Baal the fly god”) was worshipped at Ekron where he had famous oracle (2Ki_1:2, 2Ki_1:3, 2Ki_1:16). The name is generally translated “the Lord of flies,” the Sun-god being associated with the flies which swarm in Palestine during the earlier summer months. It is met with in Assyrian inscriptions. In the New Testament the name assumes the form of Beelzebul (Βεελζεβούλ), in King James Version: BEELZEBUB (which see).
FAUSSET’S BIBLE DICTIONARY
Baal (1)
The chief male deity, as Ashtoreth is the chief goddess, of the Canaanites and Phoenicians. Baalim, the plural form, expresses the various aspects of Baal, as different localities viewed him. Baal is also associated with Aaherah, inaccurately translated “THE GROVE” or “groves” (Jdg_3:7; 2Ch_33:3; 2Ch_34:4; 2Ki_23:5-6). (See ASHERAH.) Baal means lord, in the sense of owner, possessor; but Adown means lord, master. The Hebrew article distinguishes the proper name Baal from the common noun; Bel, the Babylonian idol (Isa_46:1), is related. Midian and Moab, as early as Moses’ time, tempted Israel, by Balaam’s devilish counsel (Rev_2:14; Jos_13:22; Num_25:18), to worship the phase of the deity called Baal-peor (Numbers 25), from peor, “aperire hymenem virgineum” corresponding to the Latin, Priapus.
Terrible licentiousness not only was sanctioned, but formed part of the worship. A plague from Jehovah destroyed 24,000 Israelites in consequence, and was only stopped by the zeal of Phinehas. Moses subsequently, when warning the people from this example, notices no circumstance of it but one, which, though in the original narrative not stated, was infinitely the most important to advert to, but which none but spectators of the fact, perfectly acquainted with every individual concerned in it, could possibly feel the truth of. “Your eyes have seen what Jehovah did because of Baal-peor, for all the men that followed Baal-peor the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you. But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day” (Deu_4:3). For Moses to have used this argument was extremely natural but if a forger had asserted this at hazard, and put it in Moses’ mouth it seems very strange that it is the only circumstance he should forget to notice in the direct narrative, and the only one he should notice in his reference to it (Graves, Pentateuch, 1:4).
Baal worship prevailed much in Israel, except during Gideon’s judgeship (hence called Jerubbaal, “let Baal plead”), up to Samuel’s time (Jdg_2:10-13; Jdg_6:26-32; Jdg_8:33; Jdg_10:6-10). At Samuel’s reproof they put away this worship (1Sa_7:4). Solomon brought back Ashtoreth worship to please his foreign wives. Ahab, king of Israel, under Jezebel’s influence (daughter of Ethbaal, priest of Baal and king of Zidon), established the worship of Baal and Asherah (“the groves”): 1Ki_16:31-33; 1Ki_18:19-22. Elijah successfully for a time resisted it. His influence and that of king Jehoshaphat produced its effect in the following reign and that of Jehu. It was laid aside for Jeroboam’s calves, under Jehoram, Ahab’s son (2Ki_3:2), and under Jehu (2Ki_10:28); but for the most part prevailed until the Lord in vengeance removed the ten tribes from their land (2Ki_17:16).
Baal worship also in Judah found entrance under Ahaz (2Ch_28:2-3), but was suppressed by Hezekiah (2Ki_18:4). Manasseh sought to bring Judah to the same state of Baal worship as Israel had been under Ahab (2Ki_21:3; compare Mic_6:16). Josiah made a thorough eradication of it (2Ki_23:4-14). A remnant of it and an effort to combine idolatry with Jehovah worship still in part survived until the final purgation of all tendency to idols was effected by the severe discipline of the Babylonian captivity (Zep_1:4-6). The Hebrew for “Sodomites” (1Ki_14:24; 1Ki_15:12; 1Ki_22:46; 2Ki_23:7) is qideshim, “those consecrated” to the vilest filthiness, which constituted part of the sacred worship! Flat roofs at Jerusalem were often used as altars (Jer_32:29).
“Standing images,” or possibly pillars or obelisks (matsebah) were his symbols (1Ki_14:23; 2Ki_18:4; 2Ki_23:14; Mic_5:13). “Sun images” (hammanim; Isa_17:8; Isa_27:9; 2Ch_34:4) “were on high above the altars” of Baal (Jer_43:13); “the images of Bethshemesh,” literally “the pillars (obelisks) of the house of the sun.” At Tyre one title was Malqereth “King of the city.” In a Maltese inscription, Melkart, lord of Tyre, is identified with “Hercules, the prince leader” of the Greeks; from melek “king,” and qereth “of the city.” Tyre’s colonies (Carthage, etc.) honored Melkart, the god of the mother city; the name appears in Hamilcar. An inscription at Palmyra names him Baal Shemesh, owner of the sun. Philo says his title among the Phoenicians was Beelsamen (shamain), “owner of the heavens.”
Plautus also in his Poenulus calls him Bal-samen. Contrast Melchizedek’s title for Jehovah, “Possessor Qoneh; not Baal of heaven and earth” (Gen_14:19). High places were chosen for Baal worship, and human victims were sometimes offered as burnt offerings (Jer_19:5). The worshippers wore peculiar vestments (2Ki_10:22). They gashed themselves with knives at times to move his pity (1Ki_18:26-28). The name appears in Asdrubal (“help of Baal”), Hannibal (“grace of Baal”), Adherbaal, Ethbaal. His generating, vivifying power is symbolized by the sun (2Ki_23:5), as Ashtoreth is by the moon, Venus, and the heavenly hosts.
EASTON’S BIBLE DICTIONARY
Baal
Lord.
(1.) The name appropriated to the principal male god of the Phoenicians. It is found in several places in the plural BAALIM (Jdg_2:11; Jdg_10:10; 1Ki_18:18; Jer_2:23; Hos_2:17). Baal is identified with Molech (Jer_19:5). It was known to the Israelites as Baal-peor (Num_25:3; Deu_4:3), was worshipped till the time of Samuel (1Sa_7:4), and was afterwards the religion of the ten tribes in the time of Ahab (1Ki_16:31-33; 1Ki_18:19, 1Ki_18:22). It prevailed also for a time in the kingdom of Judah (2Ki_8:27; compare 2Ki_11:18; 2Ki_16:3; 2Ch_28:2). till finally put an end to by the severe discipline of the Captivity (Zep_1:4-6). The priests of Baal were in great numbers (1Ki_18:19), and of various classes (2Ki_10:19). Their mode of offering sacrifices is described in 1Ki_18:25-29. The sun-god, under the general title of Baal, or “lord,” was the chief object of worship of the Canaanites. Each locality had its special Baal, and the various local Baals were summed up under the name of Baalim, or “lords.” Each Baal had a wife, who was a colourless reflection of himself.
(2.) A Benjamite, son of Jehiel, the progenitor of the Gibeonites (1Ch_8:30; 1Ch_9:36).
(3.) The name of a place inhabited by the Simeonites, the same probably as Baal-ath-beer (1Ch_4:33; Jos_19:8).
1. Yah’ushua vs Yahu’shua =shua as Vain.
Yes SHUA H7723 & 7722 “Shav”Shawu”Shau” in Ex.20:7, Vain”means a bad word, but has several different meanings not just here Like Lev.26:16 Vain=H7385 REEK. Deut.32:47=Vain H7386 Rake rake,
1 Sam.12:21 Vain=8414 Tohu, 1 Sam.25:21
Vain=H8267=Sheqer… and there is much much more. But look at the first one H7723 & 7722=Shawu does that look like shua,
It Has the almost the same Phonetic sound but these are Latin letters creating Hebrew Phonetic sounds there not the same.
Also she leaves out the fact that the Name of our Messiah is Ye^h’ushua found in Num.13:16=Mosheh changed Hoshea Oshea
H1954 & 3442=Salvation by Kinsmen redeemer) to Ye^hushua Yahushua adding the H3068 root of 3467 Yahuwah Yahuah
to the short sound H3050 YaHH like Hallelu’ YaH in front of Hoshea’s name which turns the Hebrew name now to # H3091=
Yah’ushua the Phonetic break down is Ye^h’ ushua” Not Yahu-shua; they never show this one letter moved the wrong way, this
changes the meaning and sound of each part of a word in Hebrew Yibri’e like so many new believers say Tor’ah but it is To’ raH
The Phonetic sound changes some never shows this. In Strongs Hebrew Greek concordance the H3091 is (yeh-ho-shoo-ah )
some never shows this either, same name as mentioned in my teaching of this on Youtube =His name is Yahushua=
Zechariah 3:1, 3, 6, 8, 9, Haggai 1:1, 14, all these verses are in my video. We have spotted some afro-american groups
going around arguing with others to prove their point of view and condemning others if they don’t believe their way only, which
is wrong even if someone did use “Yahusha” as their savior we don’t condemn them because there is places where it’s spelled
this way and Yah’usha which means Yahuwah’s Salvation. But in Luke 1:31, 2:21= His name Iesus #2424 is linked
to Hebrew #h3091 the same as Num.13:16, where Mosheh changed lengthened Hoshea name to Yahushua, so We must walk in His Shem=
Name which is His Character of his love, And this spirit on these people judging others are not walking in His love. I believe this will help.
