The Great Name of The Father YAHWEH and Yah'shua.
Startling Facts
Did you know that the Heavenly Father has a name? The surprising truth is that the sacred name is found in ancient Bible manuscripts, but it was concealed by Bible translators who believed it was too holy to use. The Bible challenges you to discover and use the only true personal name of the Creator and the name of His Son, our Savior.
Read some startling facts about the name right out of the pages of your Bible.
"Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name, if you know it?" Prov. 30:4.
"I am Yahweh; that is My name: and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images." Isaiah 42:8.
"Sing unto Elohim, sing praises to His name: Extol Him that rides upon the heavens by His name YAH, and rejoice before Him." Ps. 68:4. "Yah" is the last part of "halleluyah."
"Halleluyah" means "praise you Yah."
"You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your Elohim to bring it to nought, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless that misuses His name to bring it to nought." Ex. 20:7. (3rd Commandment)
"And you shall not swear by My name falsely, neither shall you profane the name of your Elohim: I am Yahweh." Lev. 19:12.
In "The Ministry" of May 1958 (p. 36) is the following from the S.D.A. Bible Commentary: "The divine title most common in the Old Testament [6,823 times] is the sacred word “YHWH.” YHWH is vocalized as "Yahweh." See Tetragrammaton in the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary.
From the preface to the Holy Name Bible, published by the Scripture Research Association, is the following:
"Another common error among most of the translators is their elimination of heaven's revealed Name of the Most High, Yahweh, and the Name of His Son, Yahshua the Messiah, and the substitution of the names of the local deities of the nations among whom they dwelt (Psalm 96:5), expressly transgressing Yahweh's commandments as given in Exodus 20:7 and 23:13.
"The substitution of the Names of Yahweh and Yahshua by the names of the pagan deities of the nations has brought immeasurable harm.... By employing these names the people unknowingly turn the worship of Yahweh into that of idols and actually ascribe the benevolent characteristics of the Mighty One of Israel to the pagan deities (Hosea 2:8)."
In the introduction to the James Moffatt translation (pages 20-21), Moffatt makes it clear that he would have had no hesitation in using the name Yahweh in his translation if he had intended it for students of the original Scriptures.
We find the following in the preface to the Goodspeed translation: "The Hebrews called their deity by the name Yahweh, and in shorter form Yah." They admit to using substitutes for the name Yahweh.
Read the references given for Ex. 3:15 in the Revised Standard Version. Also, note page 6 of the preface to the same version.
In the International Bible Encyclopedia of the King James Version, published by Garden City Publishing Co., we note the following under the heading "Jehovah:" "It is believed that the correct pronunciation of this word is 'Yahweh.' "
In The (Oxford Cyclopedic Concordance we find this on page 121: "Jehovah, the name revealed to Moses at Horeb...Its real pronunciation is approximately Yahweh. The name itself was not pronounced Jehovah before the 16th century."
In the Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. 7, p. 88 is this: "The reading Jehovah is a comparatively recent invention. Jehovah is generally held to have been the invention of Pope Leo the 10th's Confessor, Peter Galatin (De Arcanis Catholic Veritates 1518, Folio XLIII), who was followed in the use of this hybrid form by Fagius Drusius. Van de Driesche, who lived between 1550 and 1616, was the first to ascribe to Peter Galatin the use of Jehovah, and this view has been taken since his day."
A New Standard Bible Dictionary states, "Jehovah...properly Yahweh ...the form 'Jehovah' is impossible, according to the strict principles of Hebrew vocalization."
"And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other mighty ones, neither let it be heard out of your mouth." Ex. 23:13.
"Our help is in the name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth." Ps. 124:8.
"Seek Him that made the seven stars and Orion...Yahweh is His name." Amos 5:8.
"It is He that builds His stories in the heaven, and has founded His vault in the earth...Yahweh is His name." Amos 9:6.
"His name shall endure forever: His name shall be continued as long as the sun." Ps. 72:17.
"Praise Yahweh, call upon His name, declare His doings among the people, make mention that His name is exalted." Isa. 12:4.
". . .I Yahweh am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob." Isa. 49:26.
"And she shall bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Yahshua: for He shall save His people from their sins." Matt. 1:21.
In the preface to the Holy Name !Bible, page 7, we read, "His Name is composed of two parts: Yah-Hoshua (Savior). Thus the contraction Yahshua signifies Yahweh-Savior and strikingly bears out the logic of Matthew 1:21."
In John 5:43 Yahshua said, "I am come in My Father's name."
"Wherefore Yahweh also has highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Yahshua every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Yahshua Messiah is the Savior, to the glory of Yahweh the Father." Phil. 2:9-11.
"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.
"To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins." Acts 10:43.
"And this is His commandment, that we should believe on the name of His Son Yahshua the Messiah..." 1 John 3:23.
"Sing forth the honor of His name: make His praise glorious." Ps. 66:2. "O come, let us sing unto Yahweh: let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation." Ps. 95:1.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER, BROTHERLY LOVE.
"I am giving you a new commandment: That you continue to love one another in the way I have loved you, that you also love one another. This is how everyone shall know that you are my disciples, if you have that love toward one another." John 13:34-35 This is my command: that you keep on loving each other just as I have loved you. No one has greater love than a person who lays down his life for his friends, John 15:12-13.
How many believers would willingly eat something they knew contained pork?
How many would cheerfully go off to work on the Sabbath? Certainly not!
Now for the hard question:
How many would treat a brother or sister in the faith with anything less than the type of love we have already received from Yahshua?
I think we all have in the past; but today is the day to change that!
Yahshua commanded us to love one another in the way that He loved us - what an assignment! The love Yahshua commanded in John 13 and in John 15 is FAR MORE DEMANDING than any we usually have in our human relationships. If we are to follow that path we need to understand just what he is asking of us.
A married couple needs to show a lot of love to be sure of having a good family. But the husband and wife at one time did like each other enough to get married. On the other hand, Yahshua commands that we love the brethren even though we did not pick them (Yahweh did). Yahshua did exactly that to his disciples. He did not pick his disciples; they were given to him by his Father. He said to the Father, "Of all those YOU HAVE GIVEN ME I have not lost any except the son of perdition to fulfill the prophecy," John 17:12. Even though the father had chosen the disciples, Yahshua loved each of them enough to MAKE CERTAIN that they stayed close to the Father.
Besides the fact that a marriage usually starts with love, married people only have to earn about a C+ to get by. (Of course it's much more rewarding to earn those A's in your marriage.) Yahshua said the love He commanded is to be like His love. What does that mean? A+ in every way. Our love for the brethren must be pure in heart, intelligently directed to the highest goals, and so vigorous in application that it involves our entire soul. Of course this love MUST include our wife or husband.
The Messiah said, "'You shall love Yahweh your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is similar to it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'" Matthew 22:37-39. Yahshua was quoting Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18. Mankind already had a Torah commandment to love our neighbor in this exceptional way. Yahshua said the Torah and the Prophets were based on these principles, (Matthew 22:40). How great a love it is when we can love someone else as much as we love ourselves! That means we forgive them readily, give them the things they need without them asking and without thought of repayment, and support them in many other ways.
1 Corinthians 13 explains many characteristics of this love.
Who can love like that? What a challenge! Even this ancient command from the Torah seems to be more than we could ever naturally fulfill.
Yet Yahshua did fulfill this type of love in his life on earth. The evangels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) are the record of this man's great love:
Matthew 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Matthew 14:14 And Yahshua went forth, and saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
Matthew 23:37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!"
As we see in the sermon on the mount in Matthew 5 to 7 Yahshua was not in the habit of doing things in small measure. He amplified one law after another and showed that they applied to situations others had not imagined they covered. His emphasis was on attitude and love toward others. He said, "Do not be angry." "Do not look at a woman to lust after her." and, "Do not stand up against someone who does you wrong," and He used those principles as guides for His own life. He said, "Love your enemies. Pray for those who persecute you." and these principles were a part of HIM. They represented the way he actually lived; even to the point of praying for those who were driving nails through his hands into the tree, "Father, forgive them because they don't understand what they are doing."
But even this love was not enough for Yahshua. He appointed and set aside a particular love to be shared among those who were his disciples. 'Disciple' means one who learns. For those who want to learn from Him, our teacher gave each of us an assignment to love the others in the assembly with a love like the love He had for us. He did not give this merely as an example, a goal or a suggestion; The Messiah gave it as a command. He explained that the love He was talking about was the love that motivated Him to give up His life for us (John 15:13). Yahshua did not only give up his life for us in the sense that he died for us. He also gave his body to be beaten to the point of great disfigurement just before his execution and besides that he dedicated the time of his life to teaching men the right ways which please the Father and beginning a work from which each of us today has benefited.
I feel this all shows that the focus of Yahshua's mission on earth was to bring all the brethren to the point where they could have a closer relationship with the Father. The new command Yahshua gave us in John 15:12-13 & 13:35 might be paraphrased:
'Dedicate your life completely to improving the relationship of the brethren with Yahweh because you love them so much. That is what I am doing and that is what I command you to do. That is how people will know you really are learning from me'.
I may be taking some liberties with this text but I believe the Messiah would strongly agree with this shading of the meaning. After all, the law, the prophets, the writings and certainly the evangels are all directed to the task of getting people to be clean, pure and without sin so that they may draw near to Yahweh. When the Son presents the entire purified creation to the Father, it is the end, the goal, the consummation of that process.
"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: you continue in my love. If you keep my commandments, you shall remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love. I have spoken these things to you so that my joy might remain in you, and so that your joy might be full, John 15:9-11.
The secret to loving the brethren as Yahshua commanded seems to depend on one thing - loving obedience to Yahshua. We must do all the things Yahshua has told us to do. If Yahshua shows us that we must do anything then we must have the mind to do it 100%.
It will also help to keep in mind that those you are commanded to love are shortly to inherit a great position. They will soon be kings and priests before Yahweh and even children of the almighty Father along with Yahshua!
A few of the challenging examples of this love which Yahshua gave are:
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, He himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses, Matthew 8:17.
Then Yahshua called his disciples unto him, and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I -will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way," Matthew 15:32.
"For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine, and goes into the mountains, and seeks that which is gone astray?" Matthew 18:11-12.
"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid," John 14:27.
"And for their sakes I set myself apart to Your purposes, that they also might be set apart through the truth." John 17:19.
"You call me Master and Teacher: and you say well; for so I am. If I then, your teacher and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, so that you should do as I have done to you." John 13:13-15.
The apostles understood Yahshua's teaching and passed it on to us in many places with instruction and encouragement. Spend some prayerful time meditating on these scriptures:
Looking to the author and finisher of our faith, Yahshua, who for the joy that was set before him, endured execution on the tree, dismissing the shame, and has been set down at the right hand of the throne of Yahweh. For consider He that endured such hostility of sinners against himself, so that you will not be wearied and faint in your minds. You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood, as you strive against sin. Hebrews 12:2-4.
I am executed with the Messiah: nevertheless I live; yet it is not I, but the Messiah that lives within me: and the life that I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of Elohim, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20.
Bear you one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of the Messiah. Galatians 6:2.
I pray that from the treasures of his glory that he will empower you with inner strength by his spirit so that the Messiah may live in your hearts by faith. Also I pray that you will be rooted and founded in love, so that you, with all the saints, may be able to grasp the breadth, length, depth, and height of the Messiah's love, and to know it even though it passes knowing, that you might be filled with all the fullness of Elohim. Ephesians 3:16-19.
And walk in love, as the Messiah also has loved us, and has given himself for us: an offering and a sacrifice to Yahweh for a sweet smelling savor. Ephesians 5:2.
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the execution on the tree. Philippians 2:8.
For you know the grace of our master Yahshua the Messiah, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that through his poverty you might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9.
As we have seen, obedience to Yahshua's new commandment is not a light or easy thing. It is difficult but it is the very heart of what it means to follow the Messiah. He said that seeing that special love is how people will know we follow him. That love is the greatest fruit of the spirit Yahweh gives his people. Yahshua has given us the example, the apostles have given us instruction and encouragement and Yahweh has given us the ability through His spirit within us. Now is the time to rededicate ourselves to obeying the master, following his example, and loving the brethren with all our heart and soul.
We perceive the love of Yahshua in this: because He laid down His life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 John 3:16 And be you kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as Yahweh for the Messiah's sake has forgiven you, Ephesians 4:32.

THE MISSING "" J "" Part 1.
The Missing " J " Part 1
.The popular names Jehovah and Jesus were not in the original Scriptures and therefore cannot be genuine. It is a fact, provable in part by the historical nonexistence of the letter J. Now learn what the inspired names of the Father and Son actually are.
"Precious name, oh how sweet," sing many voices as people gather each week to praise and worship the Savior and Redeemer of Israel. But the name they sing praises to is not the Messiah's name and never was.
The name "Jesus" is a combination of the Greek "Iesous" and the Latin version employing the letter J. This name commonly used in Christianity did not exist until about 500 years ago.
The French philosopher, historian, and religion scholar Ernest Renan stated in his book, The Life of Jesus, that the Savior never was called Jesus in His lifetime. Renan based his conclusion on his archaeological trips to the Holy Land in searching for inspiration and materials on the Savior.
Renan is not the only one disclaiming the popular name of the Messiah. Proof likely exists in your own home or can easily be found in your local library. You'll find a wealth of proof in these pages references common in any library.
""References also abound that show that the Creator's name is not Jehovah. The name Jehovah is a mistake brought on by copyists, who deliberately added the vowels from "Adonai" to the Tetragrammaton (the Heavenly Father's Name in Hebrew Scriptures) in an effort to warn the reader not to enunciate the name they believed was too sacred to voice. ""
References also abound that show that the Creator's name is not Jehovah. The name Jehovah is a mistake brought on by copyists, who deliberately added the vowels from "Adonai" to the Tetragrammaton (the Heavenly Father's Name in Hebrew Scriptures) in an effort to warn the reader not to enunciate the name they believed was too sacred to voice.
The Third Commandment expressly forbids misusing the sacred Name and "bringing it to nought." Accepting a substitute certainly is not using His Name as intended. Jeremiah prophesied that the Scribes (copyists) would err: "How can you say, 'We are wise for we have the law of Yahweh,' when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?" Jeremiah 8:8, New International Version.
All aspiring religious groups strive to be the Philadelphia assembly mentioned in Revelation chapter 3. But they overlook one of its important attributes: "I know you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name," Revelation 3:8, NIV.
Webster's New World Dictionary says of the word "deny": "To declare untrue; contradict; refuse to accept as true or right; reject as unfounded, unreal, etc.; to refuse to acknowledge as one's own; refuse to grant or give; to refuse the use of or access to; to refuse the request of (a person).
By using substitute names, churchianity has denied the sacred Name. Let's understand why the popular names for the Creator and His Son are erroneous and how they came to be accepted.
One of the most obvious reasons that "Jesus" and "Jehovah" are incorrect is found in their common initial letter, J. Most comprehensive dictionaries and encyclopedias demonstrate that the letter J is of recent derivation. The Encyclopedia Americana contains the following on the J:
The form of J was unknown in any alphabet until the 14th century. Either symbol (J,I) used initially generally had the consonantal sound of Y as in year. Gradually, the two symbols (J,l) were differentiated, the J usually acquiring consonantal force and thus becoming regarded as a consonant, and the I becoming a vowel. It was not until 1630 that the differentiation became general in England.
The letter J developed from the letter I and was used to avoid confusion. Chambers's Encyclopedia says that in medieval handwriting the small i was liable to be confused with one of the strokes of a preceding or following u. Therefore an oblique stroke and later a dot was often made over the i. Alternately, the i was prolonged below the line.
The J and its I sound is still used in the German language. In the names of the months of January, June, and July, the German keeps the "ee" sound much like our Y. For example, July is pronounced "Yulee."
Note the substantiating comments of the Encyclopedia Americana regarding The Letter J:
It is one of the few permanent additions to those alphabets, made in medieval or modern times. More exactly, it was not an addition, but a differentiation from an existing letter, i, which in Latin, besides being a vowel (as in index), had also the consonantal value of "Y" (as in maior, pronounced "mayor").
At a later stage, the symbol "J" was used for distinctive purposes, particularly when the "I" had to be written initially (or in conjunction with another "I"). Either symbol used initially generally had the consonantal sound of "Y" (as in year) so that the Latin pronunciation of either Ianuarius or Januarius was as though the spelling was "Yanuarius." While in some words of Hebrew and other origin (such as Hallelujah or Junker), "J" has the phonetic value of "Y."
The J Develops [box caption - image not shown]
Around 1000 B.C. The Phoenicians and other Semites of Syria and Palestine began to use a graphic sign in the forms (1,2) They gave it the name yodh, meaning "hand," and used it for a semiconsonant y, as in English boy, boys. After 900 B.C. the Greeks borrowed The sign from the Phoenicians, using at first various angular versions ( 3 ,4 ,5 ), and then a simplified form ( 6 ) They also changed its name to iota and made it stand for their vowel i. The Greek form (6) passed unchanged via Etruscan to the Roman alphabet ( 7,8 ). The Romans used the sign both for the vowel i and for the semiconsonant y, as in IECIT. When subsequently the need arose to differentiate the two sounds, an unsystematic habit grew up of adding a tail to the i for the semiconsonant, as in the late Roman and medieval Uncial (9, 10) and Cursive (11). The distinction was not fully established until the 17th century, when the capital (12,13) and small letter (14,15) took their modem forms The dot on the small letter was carried over from the letter in the American Heritage Dictionary.
Because the letter J derived from the I, and had the same sound, it was classed as a vowel. The letter I comes from the Greek "iota," which is the Hebrew "yothe." Both have a vowel sound. There is no "J" sound in the Anglo-Saxon, let alone Hebrew, and no Roman form to work from. The J was first pronounced as the I until the printing press was introduced. Gradually the letter J acquired its own sound through French influence.
Webster's Universal Dictionary (1936) discloses the early relationship between I and J:
As a character it was formerly used interchangeably with "i," both letters having originally the sane sound; and after the "j" sound came to be common in English, it was often written where this sound must have been pronounced. The separation of these two letters is of comparatively recent date, being brought about through the influence of the Dutch printers.
The New Book of Knowledge demonstrates that the I was derived from the Hebrew "yothe." The yothe is the same Hebrew letter that begins Yahweh's Name. It also begins the Savior's Name Yahshua. The sound of the yothe is "ee" or "eh." (More on the sacred Name later in this booklet.)
The printing press soon replaced the laborious copying by scribes the longhand editions of the Bible. The initial copies of the King James Version did not use the letter J for the Savior's Name. No evidence has come to light that shows the letter I ever had the consonantal sound of the letter J. This is shown in the New Funk and Wagnall Encyclopedia:
Not until the middle of the 17th century did this usage become universal in English books; in the King James Bible of 1611 for example, the words Jesus and judge are invariably Iesus and iudge.
This is corroborated by the authoritative Oxford English Dictionary concerning the letter J, "The J j types are not used in the Bible of 1611...."
The Oxford English Dictionary is acknowledged as the most authoritative work on the origins and meanings of words in the English language. A 12-volume work, the dictionary took 50 years to produce.
Under the entry "J," this dictionary explains how the J received its sound:
Some time before the 6th century, this y-sound had, by compression in articulation, and consequent development of an initial 'stop,' become a consonantal diphthong, passing through a sound (dy), akin to that of our di, de, in odious, hideous, to that represented in our phonetic symbolization (dz). At the same time, the original guttural sound of G, when followed by a front vowel, had changed to that of palatal g (gy), and then, by an advance of the point of closure, had passed through that of (dy), to the same sound (dz); so the i consonant and the so-called g 'soft' came to have, in the Romanic languages, the same identical value.
The Encyclopedia Britannica shows that the sound of the letter J was the same as the letter I:
The original consonantal sound represented by the letter was the semi-vowel or spirant "I" (the sound of y in yacht). This passed into dy and later into the sound dz which the letter represents today.
Along with the changing pronunciation, there came the change in the alphabet to accommodate the alteration. Webster's New International Dictionary explains:
J is a comparatively late variant from the Latin I which was used indifferently as a vowel or consonant, its consonantal value being that of English Y in yet. The form J was developed from i during the Middle Ages, and it was long used in certain positions in the word merely without regard to the sound as a consonant or vowel. But the lengthened form was often initial, and the initial was usually consonantal, so the j gradually became differentiated from i in function as well as form. It was not, however, until the 17th century that the distinction of j as a consonant and i as a vowel was fully established and the capital J introduced. In English, the regular and practically uniform sound of j as in "jet" (dzh), the same as g in "gem," dates from the 11th century, that being the sound represented by i when consonantal in words then introduced from old French.
In his book, Triumph of the Alphabet, author A.C. Moorhouse explains how the Y and the I (hence the J also) were all related in sound. Furthermore, he cites how one language will borrow from another to bring the same sound across. Note his comment on page 128:
The Semitic alphabet had no vowels, but it was essential for intelligibility that the Greek alphabet should have them. This it did by using Semitic letters which represented sounds unknown to the Greek. Semitic yod stood for the semivowel y, and it is easy to use it in Greek for the related vowel i.
Written language develops from spoken. Even today, missionaries are challenged to reduce a tribal language in some remote area to writing. It is difficult to bring across into English every vocalization in a foreign tongue using our alphabet.
The New Book of Knowledge confirms the findings of Moorhouse:
The early history of the letter "J" is the same as the history of the letter "1." "1" is a descendant of the ancient Phoenician and Hebrew letter "yod" and the Greek letter "iota." The Phoenicians gave the yod a semiconsonant sound pronounced like the "Y" in yellow. While the lower case "J" of modern type was derived directly from medieval manuscripts, the capital "J" is virtually a printer's invention. The sound "J" as we know it in English today was derived when the "Y" sound eventually passed into a "dy" sound and later into the "J" sound as in juggle.
Eventually, all modern languages picked up the new sound from Latin. Under the topic "J," Collier's Encyclopedia shows how this happened:
Introduced as a sign for the consonantal sound of "i" in Latin words, the letter j was soon used in English, French, and Spanish to represent the sound that developed out of Latinic consonantic i in each of these three languages. This was a certain improvement, since these three sounds (y, z, dz) which all developed out of the Latin consonant i, did not exist in Latin, and the Latin alphabet had no sign for them.
If the letter J and its sound (dz) did not exist until shortly before the printing of the King James Version of the Bible, what were the names of the Heavenly Father and His Son before that time?
The Creator's Name Yahweh derives from the Tetragrammaton YHWH, the English equivalent of the Hebrew letters yothe, hay, waw, hay. The Tetragrammaton- "four letters" is found in ancient Bible manuscripts. Early Christian writers such as Clement of Alexandria transliterated it into Greek as IAOUE. (Transliterate means to carry the actual sound of a word from one language to another.) The Tetragrammaton is made up of four Hebrew letters having the force of vowels, as Hebrew primers readily show. Josephus says that the Tetragrammaton appeared in the High Priest's miter (hat) and consisted of four vowels. Wars, Book V, chapter V, 7.
In Greek, the I has an "ee" sound as in machine. When we pronounce the Tetragrammaton IAOUE we get the sound "ee-ah-ou-eh." Saying it rapidly we produce "Yah-way," which appears as 'Yahweh' in English. The Tetragrammaton appears 6,823 times in Hebrew Scriptures.
The short form of the sacred Name appears in one place in the King James Version: ". . .extol Him that rideth upon the heavens by His name JAH, and rejoice before Him," Psalm 68:4. As we have seen, the J should be a Y.
Hebrew names are transliterated into our English Bible as evidenced by many common names. Many names of Old Testament writers such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Zephaniah, end with this first part (Yah) of the sacred Name. Note that they retain the "ee" sound of the I in "iah."
Numerous secular as well as religious scholars attest that Yahweh is the correct, original Name of the Heavenly Father. Following is a listing of some of each, taken right from reference works and materials available in nearly every public library.

( "" Yahweh- -the personal name of the God of the Israelites The Masoretes, Jewish biblical scholars of the Middle Ages, replaced the vowel signs that had appeared above or beneath the consonants of YHWH with the vowel signs of Adonai or of Elohim. Thus, the artificial name Jehovah (YeHoWaH) came into being. Although Christian scholars after the Rendssance and Reformation periods used the term Jehovah for YHWH, in the l9th and 20th centuries biblical scholars again began to use the form Yahweh. Early Christian writers, Such as Clement of Alexandria in the 2nd century, had used the form Yahweh, thus this pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton was never really lost. Greek transcriptiona also indicated that Yhwh Should be pronounced Yahweh."" )

Review and Herald, December 16, 1971:
Yahweh is the name that identifies the God of the Hebrews. Where the Philistines worshiped Dagon, the Egyptians, Amon, and the Ammonites, Milcom, the Hebrews worshiped Yahweh. The title 'god' (elohim) is applied to false deities in the Scriptures as well as to Yahweh, hence is not a term by which one can be distinguished from the others. When the voice said, 'I am Yahweh,' there was no doubt in any listener's mind as to the identity of the speaker. He was the god of the Hebrews. So far as is known, no other peoples called their god by his name.
'Jehovah' Wrong From the Start
"Jehovah" is a hybrid name manufactured as a result of a fear to pronounce the sacred Name Yahweh.
In chapter 4 of the introduction to The Emphasized Bible, Joseph Rotherman explains how the sacred Name was avoided:
It is willingly admitted that the suppression has not been absolute; at least so far as Hebrew and English are concerned. The Name, in its four essential letters, was reverently transcribed by the Hebrew copyists, and therefore was necessarily placed before the eye of the Hebrew reader. The latter, however, was instructed not to pronounce it, but to utter instead a less sacred name - Adonay or Elohim. In this way the Name was not suffered to reach the ear of the listener.
Jehovah is the result of a further derailment in the convoluted efforts to avoid the Name Yahweh.
Scholars all know that Jehovah could not be the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton YHWH used for the Name of the Creator in the oldest available manuscripts.
In the preface to the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, pp. 6-7, is the following about "Jehovah":
The form Jehovah is of late medieval origin; it is a combination of the consonants of the Divine Name and the vowels attached to it by the Masoretes but belonging to an entirely different word. The sound of Y is represented by J and the sound of W by V, as in Latin. The word "Jehovah" does not accurately represent any form of the Name ever used in Hebrew.
A note on Exodus 3:14. taken from The Authorized Catholic Bible, says (direct photocopy):
3:14. I am who am: apparently lhis utterance is the source of the word Yahweh, the proper personal name of the God of Israel. It is commonly explained in reference to God as the absolute and necessary Being. It may be understood of God as the Source of all created beings. Out of reverence for this name the term Adonai, "my lord" was later used as a substitule. The word LORD in the present version represents this traditional usage. The word "Jehovah" arose from a false reading of the name as it is written in the current Hebrew text.
More proof is found on page 15 of the preface to The Bible, An American Translation, by Smith and Goodspeed:
As nearly as we can now tell, the Hebrews called their Deity by the name Yahweh, and in a shorter form, Yah, used in relatively few cases. In course of time they came to regard this name as too sacred for utterance. They therefore substituted for it the Hebrew word for Lord." When vowels were added to the text, the consonants of "Yahweh" were given the vowels of "Lord." Somewhere in the fourteenth century C.E. Christian scholars, not understanding this usage, took the vowels and consonants exactly as they were written and produced the artificial name "Jehovah" which has persisted ever since.
The Oxford English Dictionary succinctly demonstrates exactly how the word "Jehovah" became an erroneous substitution for the sacred Name Yahweh (direct photocopy):
(COPY NOT SHOWN)
The O.E.D. is supported by the New English Bible. On page 16 of this Bible's introduction, we read:
This personal name, written with the consonants YHWH, was considered too sacred to he uttered; so the vowels for the words 'my Lord' or 'God' were added to the consonants YHWH, and the reader was warned by these vowels that he must substitute other consonants. This change having to be made so frequently, the Rabbis did not consider it necessary to put the consonants of the new reading in the margin . . . YHWH was read with the intruded vowels, the vowels of an entirely different word, namely 'my Lord' or 'God'. In late medieval times this mispronounciation became curent as Jehova, and it was unwittingly taken over as Jehovah by the reformers in the Protestant Bibles.
The Encyclopaedia Britannica, Vol. 12, corroborates the foregoing religious sources:
The pronunciation 'Jehovah' is an error resulting among Christians from combining the consonants YHWH with the vowels of 'adonay.'
The Jehovah's Witnesses themselves admit that "Jehovah" is inferior to "Yahweh." On pages 16 and 20 of their book, Let Your Name Be Sanctafied, are these words:
Yahweh . .. is admittedly superior to Jehovah. 'The wrong spelling Jehovah OCCURS since about 1100' and then it offers its arguments in favor of Yahweh as the correct and original pronunciation.'
Their New Testament Bible translation, New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures (published by Watchtower Bible and Tract Society), has on p. 25 of the foreword:
While inclining to view the pronunciation "Yahweh" as the more correct way, we have retained the form "Jehovah" because of people's familiarity with it Since the 14th century.
The person credited with popularizing the name Jehovah is Peter Galatin, confessor to Pope Leo the 10th. The Oxford English Dictionary puts the date of Galatin's use of Jehovah at 1516 in De Arcanis Catholic Veritatis. Rotherham has this to say about "Jehovah's" origins:
The pronunciation Jehovah was unknown until 1520, when it was introduced by Galatinus; but was contested by Le Mercier, J. Drusius, and L. Capellus, as against grammatical and historical propriety.
Obviously, if the first recorded use of the name Jehovah is only some 500 years old, it can't be the Name the Creator gave the Hebrews 5,000 years earlier. The illogical fusion of the sacred Name with the vowel points of another name is shown by Rotherham:
To give the name JHVH the vowels of the word for Lord (Heh. Adonai) and pronounce it Jehovah, is about as hybrid a combination as it would be to spell the name Germany with the vowels in the name Portugal-viz., Gormuna.
The Jews' superstitious fear of the Name led to a complete fabrication in the name Jehovah.

THE MISSING "" J "" Part 2.
The Missing "" J "" Part 2.
Was the Pronunciation Lost?
Because of the years-long efforts of scribes and others to conceal the sacred Name, some today believe that the pronunciation of the Name of the Heavenly Father has been lost. The evidence proves otherwise, however. The proper vocalization of the Name was perpetuated down through the centuries.
The Encyclopaedia Britannica (llth Edition, vol. 12) says of "Yahweh":
The Rabbinic tradition that after the death of Simeon the Just (fl. 290 B.C.E.) it was no longer pronounced even on these occasions, is contradicted by the well-attested statement that in the last generations before the fall of Jerusalem (C.E. 70) it was uttered so low that the sounds were lost in the chant of the priest. After that event the liturgical use of the name ceased, but the tradition was perpetuated in the Rabbinic schools; it continued also to be employed by healers, exorcists, and magicians, and is found on many magical papyri. It is asserted by Philo that only priests might pronounce it and by Josephus that those who know it were forbidden to divulge it. Finally the Samaritans shared the scruples of the Jews, except that they used it in judicial oaths.
The early Christian scholars therefore easily learnt the true pronunciation. Clement of Alexandria (d. 212) gives laove or laovai (or in one manuscript laov), Origen (d. 253-54) lan, and Epiphanius (d. 404) laBe (or lave in one manuscript); Theodoret (d. 457) says that the Samaritans pronounced it laBe (or lapa)...
This new name, though at first widely known, as the Moabite Stone shows, was soon considered too sacred for daily use and confined to the Scriptures.
Outside the Old Testament Yhwh occurs only on the Moabite Stone (c. 850 B.C.E.); the usual form is YH or Yhw, occurring in unvocalized texts of the 5th and 4th centuries B.C.E. These forms appear in the Old Testament sporadically as the independent Yah and regularly as Yah or Yahu at the end and Yeho or Yo at the beginning of proper names.
The Encyclopedia Judaica confirms that the pronunciation "Yahweh" was preserved: "The true pronunciation of the name YHWH was never lost. Several early Greek writers of the Christian Church testify that the name was pronounced 'Yahweh.' This is confirmed, at least for the vowel of the first syllable of the name, by the shorter form Yah, which is sometimes used in poetry (e.g. Ex. 15:2)."
New archaeological finds attest to the accuracy of the Name Yahweh.("" The New Schaff-Herzog Religious Encyclopedia shows how important these discoveries are in regard to the veracity of the sacred Name's pronunciation:
Yahweh: The pronuncidion Yahweh of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton need no longer be based primarily on traditions preserved in late patristic sources. Both the vocalization yahwe and yahu (a shortened for n used chiefly in personal names) are now confirmed by a variety of ancient New Eastern inscriptional materials from the first and second millennia B.C.E.
Yahwe was originally a finite verb derived from a causative stem of the Northwest Semitic root hwy, 'to come into being.' The divine name would thus go back to a verbal form meaning 'he causes to come into existence,' or in effect, 'he creates.'
The name Yahweh appears to have been originally the first or key word of an ancient liturgical formula which proclaimed the creative activity of the deity.
No non-Israelite divine name 'Yahweh' has yet been identified certainly in ancient Near Eastern sources. )
From a study of the origin of letters that make up the word "Jesus" in our English Bibles, we can readily see that the name of the Savior underwent considerable change as it was brought from one language to another.
The name of the Redeemer of Israel, who has the only name through which man can find salvation (Acts 4:12), has been given a Latinized hybrid name that never existed in Hebrew and did not exist in English until 500 years ago.
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance shows that the word Jesus is from the Greek "Iesous," which according to Strong's Greek Dictionary, derives from the Hebrew "**", Yahowshua. The vowel points that make this transliteration (sounding out) are much more recent than the actual Hebrew letters, being introduced between 600 and 900 C.E. Removing them to be consistent with the original letters, we get "**".
The first three letters, reading right to left, are pronounced YAHW because they are equivalent to the English vowels IAU. They are the same letters that begin Yahweh's Name ( *** ). The last two Hebrew letters ( ** ) are pronounced SHUA, as found in Strong's Concordance Hebrew Dictionary, No. 8668.
Clearly, the name of the Savior was changed from Yahshua, through contraction, to Joshua (then Jeshua). Evidence that the Y in His name took on the J is found in Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8, where translators of the King James Version inserted "Jesus" when Joshua, the son of Nun, was meant.
When transferred into Greek, by taking the termination characteristics of the language, it assumed the form Jesus as it came through the Latin. Unlike English, which uses corresponding suffixes in personal pronouns, most languages have special endings on nouns that show the case, number, and gender. The "us" ending indicates masculine nominative. Thus the metamorphosis from "Yahshua" to "Jesus" was complete.
As with the Father's Name, numerous sources easily available attest that the Name Yahshua is incorrectly rendered "Jesus."
Secular Scholars
("" Encyclopedia Americana: "Jesus Christ ---...Although Matthew (1:21) interprets the name originally Joshua, that is, 'Yahweh is salvation,' and finds it specially appropriate for Jesus of Nazareth, it was a common one at the time." (Vol. 16, p. 41) "" )
( "" Encyclopaedia Britannica ( 15th ed. ): "Jesus Christ---....The same is true of the name Jesus. In the Septuagint it is the customary Greek form for the common Hebrew name Joshua; i.e., 'Yahweh helps.' " Vol. 10. p. 149. "" )
("" Following is a photocopied extract from the Oxford English Dictionary under "Jesus": ( Copy not included )"" )
Had the Savior's Name been transliterated into Greek and Latin, the true and proper form would have been preserved.
Religious Scholars
( "" Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature: "Jesus Christ--- There can be no doubt that Jesus is the Greek form of a Hebrew name. Its original and full form is Jehoshua. By contraction it became Joshua or Jeshua; and when transferred into Greek, by taking the termination characteristics of that language, it assumed the form Jesus." )
( Word Studies in the New Testament,' by Marvin R. Vincent ---
Jesus. The Greek form of a Hebrew name, which had been borne by two illustrious individuals in former periods of the Jewish history---Joshua, the successor of Moses, and Jeshua, the high-priest, who with Zerubbabel took so active a part in the re-establishment of the civil and reUgious polity of the Jews in their return from Babylon. Its original and full form is Jehoshua, becoming by contraction Joshua or Jeshua. Joshua, the son of Nun, the successor of Moses, was originally named Hoshea (saving), which was altered by Moses into Jehoshua (Yah~veh (our) Salvation) (Num. 13:16). The meaning of the name, therefore, finds expression in the title Savior (Luke 1:47; 2:11; John 4:42). )
( The Acts of the Apostles by Jackson and Lake:
Jesus---This is the regular Greek translation of the Hebrew Joshua. The latter assumed a shorter form Jeshua ~ in later times, which explains also the e in the Greek spelling. Among the Biblical instances Joshua the son of Nun, and Jeshua the son of Jehozadak, high priest in the time of Zerubbabel, are well known. The Greek spelling occurs in the LXX (with some exception) for the Hebrew name. It is included in the title of Ecclesiasticus. It is used in the New Testament at Luke 3:29, Acts 7:45, and Hebrews 4:8 of ancient Hebrews, and of Jews of the early Roman Empire at Col. 4:11, by Josephus frequently (see Niese, Index, 8.V.) and many other Jewish sources. )
("" Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible: (under Hebrews 4:8) "Jesus. Josue, who in Greek is called Jesus." )
( Smith's Bible Dictonary: "Jesus Christ -- The name Jesus means Savior, and was a common name, derived from the ancient Hebrew Jehoshua." )
("" A Dictionary of the Bible, by James Hastings: "Jesus = the Greek form of the name Joshua or Jeshua. Jeshua = Yahweh is salvation or Yahweh is opulence." )
( Alford's Greek Testament, An Exegetical and Critical Commentary: "Jesus ---The same name as Joshua, the former deliverer of Israel." )
((4 pages of text omitted - will be restored soon.))
Knowing what the true names are is not enough, however. Once they are proved and accepted as correct, they must be used. James 4:17 reads, "So then, to the person who knows what is right to do and fails to do it, to him it is sin," Modern Language Bible.
The sacred Name is forever, a memorial that Yahweh says He is to be remembered by from generation to generation. "And Yahweh said moreover unto Moses, 'Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, "Yahweh, the Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, has sent me unto you:" this is My Name forever, and this is My memorial unto all generations,' " Exodus 3:15. (Note ALL generations)
Yahweh has revealed His Name and His Son's through a Hebrew-speaking people down through history. His Name has meaning and describes His attributes. "Yahweh" means that He will be all things to His people. He will be whatever they need of Him at the time. He will be our comforter, strengthener, guide, protector, healer, provider; in fact, He will be whatever we as His children need. He has already become our salvation through His Son, Yahshua, the salvation Yahweh has sent to earth for you and me.
We have a closer walk with Yahweh when we call upon His personal, holy Name that He has revealed to those with whom He is in covenant. Our fellowship is with those of like faith who have called upon His sacred Name down through the years, from righteous Abel to Noah, Abraham, and the Israelites of long ago. Eventually the whole family in heaven and earth will be the Name of the Father, Yahweh, Ephesians 3:l5. How can you be accounted worthy to bear the Name Yahweh, and be sealed with His Name (Rev. 14: l ), if you refuse to use it now?
We must walk in all the truth we are given. When we fully accept the truth revealed to us, it is our responsibility to act. Abundant proof exists that Yahweh and Yahshua are the correct and only names of the Father and Son, respectively. These are the names revealed in His Word through His inspired prophets. We cannot improve on the direct command to praise Him by the Name He Himself gave to us.
"Salvation comes through no one else, for there is no other Name in the whole world, given to men, to which we must look for our salvation." Acts 4:12 TCNT.
