2. The Names and pronunciation of Names in the Bible.

3. We hope this will shed a little light on a subject that causes totally unnecessary division.Let us stay with what can be proven and which is written down, in stead of each one coming to his own conclusion.

4. There is only one way to reach unity and that is to use the same source. Let us accept the written Word of God as our standard and stick to it . If it is written – accept and do it – if not, do not preach it.

5. At the moment, there are division over a few important issues. I ask again, let us test it with Scripture.The Names of God and His Son and the pronunciation of it.This we will try to understand from Scripture.Determining of times.Determining of what is Scripture and what is added or taken away.Then there are made-up lies to steal the peace of Father’s children. Some people just can’t stop dishing up falsehood as so called warnings.

6. Today we will address three aspects.The Name of the Creator-God.The Name of His Son.The word “God” or “el”.

7. What is His Name and the Name of His Son? Surely you know!Prov 30:4

10. There is no doubt about how the Name was written and developed. There are enough evidence for that. Please note: the writing developed…It is therefor impossible to come to conclusions over the form of the letters. Even the oldest letters shown above, again comes from others !!!!They have beautiful meanings and are uplifting, but no teaching must be based on it.

11. Our problem is the pronunciation – as close as possible to the oldest known possibility.The following are used:Jahve – YahwehJehovah – YehowahYahuah

12. I do not believe that any person is going to hell over a wrong pronunciation. People must stop being judgmental about what Father never intended.

13. In the Name we have 4 characters.Vowels or consonant?It only matters for the pronunciation of the third character – the waw. w

14. There are little doubt about the pronunciation of the first two characters.As proof we look at Biblical names:Aviyah (Abía) Z'kharyah (Sagaría) and more than 110 others.

15. All these Names carry the Name of Father in their meaning and is pronounced as ‘ja’. We do know that the ‘j’ did not exist and represent it with a ‘Y’ with the representation of the Hey h ‘h’ and it becomes Yah.

16. Through the pronunciation of the name it is clear that no ‘Yeh’ is possible and names like Jehovah fall away.The names in the Bible are our explanation.

17. The next letter is the waw.It is possible to be a consonant – W or V or a vowel – O or U.Also in Scripture, we find names ending with a more complete form of Father’s Name.

18. Y'kholyahu (Jególja) Y'gizkiyahu (Jehiskía)Yesha'yahu (Isaiah) Yirmeyahu (Jeremía) Eliyahu (Elíah) and many more

19. I looked at many gramatical options set out by many writers.Logic looks at the pronunciation of the character as it is written down before us.

20. According to that, it is a vowel and given as “U” and the pronunciation so far is:YahuIf it is presented as a consonant it would have been Yahw .

21. It is therefore possible if the U is read as a gramatical “is” at the end of the word. One problem with this, according to me:Cuneiform inscriptions, known as the Murashu Text, agree that Yahu is also used at the beginning of a name, thus without the vowel declension - Found in Nippur and dated between 464 en 404 before the Anointed One came.

22. Scholastic I must say that it is possible to pronounce His Name as Yahweh or Yahuah. The pronunciation of names in the Bible convinced me that it is Yahuah. I will not split hairs with you over the pronunciation which we did not hear. What we can say is that these are the only 2 options we have.

23. My decision is further strengthened by the following:1. Josephus, in his Wars of the Jews, Book 5, chapt. 5, 7, clearly states that His Name "consists of four vowels." 2. Yahweh, has its origin, with a lack of any earlier evidence, in 1567. Genebrardus, was the first to recommend Jahve, largely on the strength of Theodoret’s declaration that Samaritans used the, Iabe, pronunciation.

24. It is also possible to use the corrupted vowels of the Masoretic texts and other changes as proof, but I do not think that it will serve any purpose.

25. His Name can not be replaced by normal nouns like Lord which means Master, and which is not a proper noun and also not with only God which we will discuss later.

26. What is His Name and the Name of His Son? Surely you know!Prov 30:4

27. Secondly – let’s look at the Name of the Anointed One.Again there are tremendous division – please – let us look at provable visual proof and evidence.I myself believed and taught differently – until I have seen it with my own eyes and accepted it.

28. We look at the following options which are taught in earnest:YahuahshuaYahushuaYahshuaYeshuaJesus

29. Yog 5:43 is applicable:“I came in the Authority and Character of My Father and you did not accept me. If another came in his own character and authority, him you will accept.” am`b In the Name = in the Character and Authority.

30. AmbassadorDoes the ambassador to another country carry the name of his own country or president in his own name?

31. Luka 1:31behold, you will become pregnant and bear a Son and you must call Him Yeshua. in Ashuri script.@ylbqt ryg ah[w`y hm` @yrqtw arb @ydlatw ansb

35. The same verse from the Khabouris. Fourth century copy of the Aramaic New Covenant - internally dated as 165 after Yeshua. This is how His Name is written in the oldest document we have.

36. There are only 4 characters[wvyY sh u aY’shuapronounced as Yeshua with the ‘e’ sound effectively a fast ‘ei’

37. The wrong interpretation of Yog 5 resulted in people adding a Yah or Yahuah which do not exist in any written material available!!It is added to His Word.

38. For a name to be pronounced "Yahshua," it would have to be spelled [wvhy and no such name exists anywhere in the Hebrew Bible.Dr. Daniel Botkin - author of Fluent Biblical Hebrew

39. Why then do some people refer to Jesus as Yahshua? There is absolutely no support for this pronunciation—none at all—and I say this as someone holding a Ph.D. in Semitic languages. My educated guess is that some zealous but linguistically ignorant people thought that Yahweh’s name must have been a more overtpart of our Savior’s name, hence YAHshua rather than Yeshua—but again, there is no support of any kind for this theory.Dr. Michael Brown - Ph.D in Semitic languages.

40. “of the Yahshua form that "there is no such name in Hebrew" and that "people invented it to fit their theology.“Dr. Danny Ben-Gigi - former head of Hebrew programs at Arizona State University and he designed and produced the "Living Israeli Hebrew" language-learning course.

41. Only one Name is left - “Jesus.”The teaching is that it comes from the name of Zeus and therefor is pagan.Luckily we do have historical and linguistic proof as to the origin of the Name.

42. Personally I only use His proper and correct Name: Yeshua as is seen earlier, but it boggles my mind why people try to hurt and belittle other people through a lie. They put meanings and origins to words that do not exist and which is not true. I hope to show it to you clearly.It is also true of many other words

43. Please note 2 Tim 2:14Remind them of these things and command them before our Master not to strife over words which, having no advantage but to upset those hearing it.

44. This is one of the most rediculous but serious alligations I have ever heard, yet it gained more followers on the net than any other, through disinformation. There are even those that proclaim that those who use the Name ‘Jesus’ serve false gods and are pagan. I want to seriously warn against such blatant lies and any other way by which the peace of Father’s children is stolen. Let us only look at facts.

45. According to our 3 wise men:The English form Jesus is derived from the New Testament Greek name Ἰησοῦς, pronounced "Yesous." Hebrew Yeshua to Greek YesousGreek Yesous to English Jesus

46. According to A. B. Traina in his “Holy Name Bible,”: “The name of the Son, Yahshua, has been substituted by Jesus, Iesus, and Ea-Zeus (Healing Zeus).”

47. Two big errors in one short sentence: There is no such a Name as Yahshua as we have seen before and there is absolutely no connection between the Greek Name Ἰησοῦς (or the English Jesus) and Zeus. NONE! It is the same type of argument as to proof that the words Tiger Woods is referring to tiger infested woods????? It is ridiculous and based on serious linguistic ignorance. To sound the same (homophones) does not mean it has something to do with each other.

48. I read about people who do not use the word “raisin,” because it contains the word “sin”.It is the same argument.

49. I will quote the following – can not put it clearer myself:“Here is another, equally absurd statement:"... according to the ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA, the name Ieusus (Jesus) is a combination of 2 mythical deities, IEU and SUS (ZEUS, a Greek god)." - (www.wwyd.org).

50. Although it is claimed that the Encyclopedia Britannica says that “the name Ieusus (Jesus) is a combination of 2 mythical deities, IEU and SUS (ZEUS, a Greekgod)” it actually says no such thing. This is a complete fabrication, intentional or not. In short, as one Jewish believer once stated, “Jesus is as much related to Zeus as Moses is to mice.”
