The Hebrew Names and Titles of the Creator of the
Universe--
The Father and Messiah of
Greek philosophy, Greek culture, and Greek Gnostic belief
that came from the Garden of Eden through Lucifer, was creeping into the assemblies
of the early believers in the Jewish Messiah Yahushua/Yeshua as early as the
middle of the first century C.E. (Common Era).
Since the days of Antiochus IV Epiphanes and his rule over the Levant
(175-164BCE--Before Common Era), the Jews had battled the attempts of
Paul (Rav Sha’ul) and the other Apostles constantly battled the twisting and perverting of truth, which was creeping into the Messianic belief left to us by Messiah Yahushua at His ascension. An “end-time remnant” of His people are now returning to that faith that He left us at His ascension—HalleluYAH!!!
Gnosticism
says that each man is a god, being illumined by Lucifer through Eve, and that
all revolves around what a man thinks.
It is the basis of humanism, evolution teaching, and the New Age
religion of today--the “I am” thinking that is ruling the world. Gnosticism says that Lucifer illumined Eve in
the Garden of Eden with gnosis (knowledge) from the tree of good and evil, and
therefore he is the good god. But,
Yahuweh, the Elohim (God) of
Lucifer
means: the “shining one”, the “illumined one”, or “the light bearer”. “Satan appears as an angel of light, and his
messengers also appear as angels of light--II Corinthians 11:14-15. Lucifer is the name of Satan with this shiny
façade. Today, the top elite world
rulers, through many organizations, worship Lucifer as their Illumined
god.
Thus, the first century Hellenists--Greeks who wanted to
impose Greek culture (including their Greek Democracy) on the world—liked the
idea of a free ticket to heaven from the Jewish Messiah, but they wanted no
responsibility to His Father Yahuweh, or to His Instructions and Teachings in
the Torah (the foundation of all His right-rulings of His Kingdom found in the
first five books of the Bible). This
thinking of the Greeks coupled with hard-core Roman and Persian paganism (sun
god worship from
What I will give you here is just historical fact--common, untwisted knowledge. In my research, I always investigate to the roots of Truth, both from Genesis to Revelation, and in history, archeology and in current events.
In making your decisions as to what to believe, always check out the tips of the roots! If the root of a tree is defiled, the tree is defiled and the fruit is defiled, and all who eat it are defiled. Therefore, in investigating roots, I have uncovered much defilement that has permeated Western culture in all of its aspects, which affects our lives today. No one who loves Yahuweh/Yahweh and His Son Yahushua/Yahshua wants to be defiled, or to do anything that is an abomination to Him!! Thus our task is to take the Truth and abide by it alone, throwing away all deceptions, lies, falsehoods, scams of man who seeks control of others, and hypocrisy--the world system and all its Babel (confusion), embracing only what is True before Yahuweh and our Messiah Yahushua. Otherwise, if we choose to hang on even to a tiny thread of what is an abomination to Him--defilement--we too become defiled, deceived, disillusioned, controlled by man, and eventually destroyed. (II Thessalonians 2:9-12) Remember that Satan is the “father of lies”. Yahushua said: “The Truth shall set you free!
In this
free-arena of Gnosticism a “believer” in Yahushua could create his own
standards of living--his own theological belief-system to accommodate his
personal lifestyle. That is why
born-again believers think they can pick and choose what they want to do, as
long as it doesn’t “hurt anyone”. That
is why the church-system of man has over 2,000 denominations. Each little group, or big group, has its own
laws created by some man/men for acceptance in its “group” (church or
church-related organization). Each set
of instructions is slightly different, depending on what man made them up. Some have different ideas of what constitutes
salvation, whereas most have differing ideas about what constitutes good
standing in their church.
Don’t be
shocked at this statement, because it is true:
Yahuweh did not start the religion of Rabbinical Judaism, Jewish
Rabbis did. Yahushua did not start the
religion of Christianity, the Romans did, taking it many steps further than the
Greeks. Yahuweh/Yahushua is not a
religion. He has nothing to do with
religion. Religion is what man
makes up. Religion is what men
use to harness people into their way of thinking, so that they can control
people to their advantage. The word
“religion” comes from the expression “the regions of Rhea”--the mother of
Zeus.
Yahuweh has
His Instructions and Teachings--His Torah for our life, health and
happiness. If we want to come to His
salvation (“yeshua” in Hebrew) we must come His Way. If we don’t play by His rules, we’re either
out of His Kingdom or restricted! He is
light, and no darkness of man or devil can approach Him. Therefore, He can only be approached on the
basis of His Truth! “His Word
is Truth”!
In the
Greek mind “faith” or “belief” means:
whatever you think is right, is right.
The Hebrew understanding of “faith” or “belief” is: What you say you believe must be proved
outwardly by your corresponding actions and works, otherwise you do not believe
it. Here is the bottom line of Ja’acob
(James) 2:14-20: “faith without works is
dead”. He also says that the “devils
believe and tremble”, but the devils are not saved. So, simple head belief in a belief-system
saves no one. There is no salvation
without initial and continuing repentance and conformity to the requirements of
the Word. Repentance results in the
cutting away of the old life--being translated out of the kingdom of darkness,
into the
The
Hellenising, “Gentilizing”--paganizing--of the Gospel of Messiah by the Greeks,
led to the believers in general becoming “lukewarm” and compromising the
absolutes of Yahuweh, in order to mix Messianic belief with pagan sun god
worship practices. The Greeks, and later
the Roman Emperor Constantine, substituted the calendar of Yahuweh and His days
of Festivals and His day of worship (Shabbat/Sabbath) for the days of pagan
celebrations and the pagan day of worship--honoring the sun god on his
day—Sun-day, keeping the spring and winter orgies with the pagans--to honor
Ishtar (Easter) Queen of Heaven, and her son god’s birth on December 25th.
Remember,
if the root is defiled, the tree is defiled, and the fruit is defiled--a poison
apple, as in Snow White’s apple. The
poison of Satan looks pretty and nice, but it’s deadly.
If we participate in the Roman pagan days of worship, which also
included Greek gods and Persian gods, then we are defiled. The Prophets warned us of these things. We might enjoy those pagan holidays, but
there is death to our spirit and soul hidden in our enjoyment. “The wages of sin is death”. (Romans 6:23)
“Sin is the
transgression of the Torah”. (I John
3:4) To transgress the good Instructions
and Teachings of Yahuweh is certain death.

Today, the Jesuit Order of the Catholic Church is still
carrying on
The Roman Church was still calling the Torah-observant believers in Yahushua “heretics” up until the 13th century, when the Church figured they’d killed all of these “heretics” out, and they could rest from their slaughtering for a while. But, today, we followers of the 1st century belief that Messiah left us at His ascension are back, and growing. I am happy to be one of them—HalleluYah!!!
This return of the first century purity and faithfulness of the early followers of Messiah Yahushua is causing, and will cause more, a great upset in camp of Lucifer--the one world government and religion, centered in the Vatican. They are very aware that we are back. This “remnant” of true believers who are on the earth in the days before Messiah’s second coming are mentioned in Revelation 12:17; 14:12; 15:2-3 and 22:3-5, 14 for example. These are called “the Bride of Messiah”, and have right to stay in the New Jerusalem with their Bridegroom forever! (Revelation 3:7-13; 22:3-5, 14) Of course, the martyred faithful remnant of our day and the days to come, and the martyred remnant along with the faithful followers of Yahwueh and of the Nazarene in days past, will also be included in the Bride of Messiah. These marked ones of ages ago are mentioned in such passages as Ezekiel 9:1-11 and Malachi 3:16-4:6. Faithfulness, honor, purity, love, and obedience to our Bridegroom are the chief virtues of the Bride. He will have no other gods or idols or people before Him!!
His
calendar and His ways are so wonderful.
His set-apart Festivals (9 of them) are exciting and fun, and their
root is Yahushua, salvation, victory, and relationship with Yahuweh. Compare these roots with the roots of
paganism. Which tree will you eat
from? Seven of Yahuweh’s
Festivals/Feasts speak of the salvation of Yahushua--His two comings to earth,
and the descent of the Ruach ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit). Two of them, Hanukkah and Purim, represent
victories of the past and for the future.
But, again, our victory is in our faithfulness to Yahuweh.
Spiritual
death eventually affects the body. The
promises of health are to the Torah observant (read the conditions on your
favorite promises). He does not promise
to keep healthy those who abuse His natural rules either--Leviticus 11 for
example. He has made a Covenant with a
biological people group, who go back to Eber (father of the Hebrews),
grandfather of Abraham, and only by keeping the terms of this marriage Covenant
can we be healthy in body, soul and spirit.
As early as
the first part of the 2nd century, the pagans said of the believers in the
Messiah: “you are just like us”. How
horrible!! This made
The Hellenists (Hellenised Jews and Greeks alike) did not
like the early believers being called “followers of the Way”, or “followers of
the Nazarene”, or “followers of the Messiah Yahushua/“Yeshua”. They wanted to Hellenise (make Greek) the
Messiah of Israel. Therefore, they took for themselves the name “Christian”,
after the god Christ, Christus (Hindu:
Thus they began using their god’s names and titles in the place of Hebrew names and titles. The Greeks and Romans hated anything Hebrew, so the push was on to destroy not only anything of Hebrew culture, but also the Hebrew Scriptures, beliefs and practices, and the worship of Yahuweh, and also the Hebrew people themselves, or anyone non-Hebrew who believed like the Hebrews. Thus, also the Messianic Scriptures, written by the Apostles in Hebrew, were translated into Greek, and later Latin, by Gnostics who loathed the Elohim of Israel, causing the writings to lose much of their true meaning. Hebrew is a non-translatable language, because of its many pictures, word plays, and cultural understandings.
Quoting from “The Name of Elohim”, an article by a
Messianic Jewish man, Ruvan Ben Gershom, page 1: “In Hebrew thought, a name is
not merely an arbitrary designation, a random combination of sounds. The name conveys the nature and essence of
that which is named. It represents their
history and reputation…An example of this usage occurs in Exodus 3:13-22. Moshe asks the Almighty what His Name
is. Moshe did not ask `What should I
call You’, rather he was asking `who are you, what are you like and what have you
done’. This is clear from the Almighty’s
response. The Almighty replies that He
is eternal, that He is the Elohim of our ancestors, that He has seen our
affliction and will redeem us from bondage…Because a name represents the
reputation of that which is named, a name should be treated with the same
respect as its reputation. For this
reason, Elohim’s Name, in all forms, is to be treated with enormous respect and
reverence by all
Quoting from Fossilized Customs by Lew White page 18: “What does the name `Jesus’ mean? The beginning part in Greek (IE) is the sound Yeh, which is “hail”. It is not Yah, because it was changed. Now, we’re left with the “SUS” part. It may be significant, so I should tell you that the word we sometimes see in the Latin, `YESU’ (Yeh zoo) has been traced to a Hebrew word meaning `a curse be upon’.
According to the Dictionary of Christian Lore and Legend, by J.C.J. Metford, page 126:
`It is known that the Greek name endings of sus, seus, and
sous (which are phonetic pronunciations for Zeus) were attached by the Greeks
to names and geographical areas as a means to give honor to their supreme
deity, Zeus. Examples are “Parnassus”, a

Quoting from Terry Seedman’s Holy to Yahveh, page
198: “Yahshua, the Name above all names,
became the name beneath all names as a result of Satan’s schemes. The father of lies, working through the
doctrines of men, once again, turned things upside down. He cunningly assaulted Yahveh, His holy Name,
His Jewish people, and His eternal plan in and through
The true and holy Name of Messiah was incorrectly rendered by early writers in Greek as ‘Iesous’…Gentile scholars began substituting Yahshua’s true Name with the Greek replacement. The early believers were never respectfully referred to by the name `Christian’. They were Messianic believers and disciples of Yahshua and often known as the `followers of the Way’”. (Acts 22:4).
On page 212 Terry says: “The name `Jesus’ was never heard by the Messiah, His disciples, nor the Jews of His day. The Greek rendering of the Savior’s true Name has
its origins with Gentile men and a pagan-rooted
language.” I have read that the Jews of
Messiah’s day said they “would rather eat pig than speak Greek”. This was a very strong statement, since many
died in the days of Antiochus Ephiphanes for not eating pork as a sign of their
allegiance to
Terry continues: “That pseudo-name distorts the essence of Oneness of the Mighty One of Israel and His Son, the Messiah, making it a repulsion to all Jews”. “One of the Serpent’s main strategies to keep Jews from recognizing their Messiah was to break apart the Father and the Son into two separate names as incorrectly rendered in the Greek…The righteous remnant proclaims with one heart and voice to Israel that Yahveh their God IS ONE with YAHshua their Messiah.”
It was a custom of the Greeks and Romans, in adopting

out-dated god. Thus, the Messiah of

This is what Ezekiel 37:15-28 is all about--bring back the whole House of Jacob to their roots—all twelve tribes. This is the message of Eliyahu (Elijah) in Malachi 4:5-6, returning the children to the fathers—Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In Zechariah 8:23 we read about these 10 “lost tribes” in the latter days, returning to their roots in Yahuweh and His Torah. “Thus says Yahuweh of hosts, `In those days, ten men of all languages of the nations shall take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Jew, saying `Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you’.

Thus the
early Greek translations of the Messianic Scriptures (misnamed “New Testament”)
made many changes to the original Hebrew and/or Aramaic texts--substituting,
adding, and mistranslating, and changing.
Later on the Latin translation added several new words, and changed some
things. With each translation into
different languages, each one was different.
To date there have been about 350 translations in English alone. Not one of them is the same.
It is impossible to translate Hebrew directly into any other language because of its many idioms, plays on words, puns, and the fact that Hebrew is a picture language. Yahushua never left us a religion, let alone a pagan one called by a Greek name. He was a Torah-observant Jewish Rabbi (Teacher). He is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the “Son of David”--the King of Israel. It was an abomination to the Torah-observant Jews to even speak or write Greek in Messiah’s day. He would never have been named a Greek name!
Thus the angel Gabriel brought the Father’s Hebrew Name to Miriam (Mary), and said that her child’s Name would be called Yahushua (Yahuweh Saves, or Yahuweh is Salvation), for He would “save His people from their sins”. Matthew 1:21

Terry quoting from the NIV Study Bible, 1985, footnote on Acts 21:28: “Greek men, Greek gods, and Greek names were an offense and strictly forbidden in the homes of Jews and the temple of the God of the Jews. Archaeological findings verify the fact that no Greeks were allowed in the temple courts upon penalty of death”.

continues: page 197: “It should be noted
that indeed Paul never transgressed the righteousness of Yahveh’s decrees by
bringing a Greek name for the Hebrew Messiah into the Temple of the Holy One of
Israel…When Messiah was first named by the angel, and later given that name at
His circumcision in the Temple, a Greek name would never have been
permitted. Jews were vitally concerned
with pedigrees. According to Jewish
biblical tradition, the name of the offspring was always given with the name of
the father. It was completely
unacceptable for a Jew to take a Gentile Name.

Let’s look
in more detail at the title/name: “Christ”:
It is the name of a Greek god. It
is not a title of the Messiah of Israel.
Machiach in Hebrew or Messiah in English means “the anointed one, or the
sent one” of Yahuweh.
Here are
some excerpts from the book, Come Out of Her My People by C.J. Koster,
c. 1998, pages 68-71: “We read that
the Greeks used the word Christos for the Hebrew Machiach (Anointed One)
because “the word Christos was far more acceptable to the pagans who were
worshipping Christon, Chrestos and perhaps also those worshipping Krista. Our Savior could not have been known as
Christos (Christ) among His people. The word `Christos’ was easily confused
with the common Greek proper name Chrestos, meaning `good’. The problem is further complicated by the
fact that the word Christianos is a Latinizm and was contributed neither by the
Jews nor by Christians. The word
`christianos’ was introduced from one of three origins: a) The Roman police, b)
The Roman populous, or c) Unspecified pagan origin. This almost sensational admission as to the
confusion and uncertainty between Christos and Chrestos, Cristus and Chrestus,
Christiani and Chrestiani, is well documented and shared and published by other
scholars too, as well as by the early fathers: Justin Martyr, Tertullian,
Lactantius and others. This confusion
and uncertainty can only encourage and exhort us to return to the only Source
of Truth, the Word, the Scriptures, before it was translated into the languages
of the pagans. Only then can we find
peace in the truth of our Savior being the Messiah, the Anointed--the One

more detail on the name “Jesus” or Iesous:
It is easily searched out that the name “Jesus” is the name of a Greek
god of healing, and also means “hey-Zeus”--or hail to the god Zeus. Paul on Mars’ Hill in
Quoting
more from Don Esposito’s newsletter:
“Personal names are transliterated, not translated. A name may be just pronounced a little
different in different languages. Listen
to a Spanish broadcast, and you will hear all Spanish words and then a name
such as George Bush.” They won’t try to
translate George Bush into Spanish. In
French the name Michael is Michelle.
But, it sounds almost the same.
Don asks, “why is our Hebrew Savior’s Name in most Bibles changed from
His original Hebrew name of Yahshua to the Greek form of `IE Zeus’? `Jesus’ is a transliteration of
Iesous--the Greek god of healing--IE Zeus.
This not only strictly goes against the third commandment…but it
also breaks every rule of grammar. To
take Yahweh’s name in `vain’ means to change, falsify or to make common His
Name. If we are going to use the English
transliteration of Yahshua, it would be in English, Joshua. Joshua and Yahshua sound alike. Also, every Hebrew word goes back to a 2 or
3-letter root word and has some meaning.
Yah Shua means Yahweh is Salvation, or the Salvation of Yahweh. `Jesus’ or `Iesous’ in Greek has no root or
meaning”.
Remember, there is no J sound or
letter in Hebrew, Greek or Latin. The
“J” letter and sound is just short of 500 years old in the English language.
So, His Name could not be “Jesus”, even if it was a legitimate
name. That says a lot doesn’t it?
Inserting
from Fossilized Customs by Lew White, page 16: “You can easily find that the letter “J” didn’t even exist on the
planet until about 1520CE”.
I had a friend who had been a very powerful Satanist high
priest but who had gotten very dramatically saved. He told me that they use the name of “Jesus”
in conjuring up demons within the pentagram in Satanism. I know that the “New Age” believers, or
Gnostic Luciferians of today, say:
“Jesus is a powerful ascended Master”.
Most religions acknowledge Jesus as a prophet, a good man, a teacher of
morality, or a healer. They have not
read His declarations of Deity evidently.
The Muslims and Hindus, for example, honor “Jesus” as a healer. They also both honor Mary as the “Queen of
heaven”. All religions are tied into
Lucifer’s teachings via Nimrod in some way!
Unfortunately, even the man-made religion called “Rabbincal Judaism” is
tied into the mystic, occult beliefs of Nimrod in several ways. This inner connecting of religions along
“common grounds” is making the one world religion of the last days an easy
task--all centered in the
Time out for a long overdue note of explanation: I personally write the extra “u” sound into the Names because I acknowledge the breath sound in His Name. He is “the breath of life”. Yahuweh is Spirit (John 4:24), and His Ruach (Spirit) is the breath of Yahuweh. The “u” is quickly said as a breath sound. The emphasis is on the Yah.
Hebrew,
Exodus 3:14: “Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh” means: “to be, to exist--the `I AM’”. From page 59, a footnote in The Scriptures:
“The Hebrew text (of Exodus 3:14-15) reads `eyeh asher eyeh’. The word `eyeh’ being derived from` hayah’,
which means: `to be, to exist’”.
Yet it is
believed by some that His whole Name is included in Exodus 3:15 and that
Yahuweh is the shortened form of His whole Name. This is very possible because of His
identification with the three that He made covenant with: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob”. Exodus 3:15:
“Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, `Yahuweh Elohim of your
fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Yitshak, and the Elohim of
Ja’acob has sent Me to you’. This is
My Name forever and this is My memorial to all generations’”.
However, His basic Name means: “I am the eternal, existing One--the One who breathes”. The “hawah” or “haweh” means to breath.
From the article “The Name of Elohim” by Ruvan Ben Gershom, page 3: “In the Holy Scriptures, this Name is used when discussing Elohim’s relation with human beings, and when emphasizing His qualities of loving kindness and mercy. It is frequently shortened to Yah (Yod-Heh), Yahu or Yaho, …especially when used in combination with names or phrases, as in Yahoshua, being Hebrew for Joshua. HalleluYah is `praise Yahuweh’”
However,
the spelling and pronunciation of Yahweh and Yahshua is valid and so acknowledged
by most Hebrew/Biblical scholars. The
importance is to get the Yah in the Name--the: I AM. Note: More recently, most scholars realize
that the third Hebrew letter of the Father’s Name, is a “w” sound, not a “v”
sound--a “waw and not a vav”. In my
studies, I have come to believe that the best sound-pronunciation of the Son’s
Name is Yahoshua--the “u” breath sound can also take on an “o” sound—
translated
as Joshua in the English language. I
write the “u” also in the Son’s Name for mainly uniformity with the Father’s
Name. The name “Yahoshua” is also
confirmed by Jewish archeologists, and is the spelling for “Joshua” in
Hebrew. In both cases, the emphasis is
on the “Yah” sound. In the book Joshua’s
Altar, by secular archeologist and author, Milt Machlin, he says, on page
127: “Joshua’s original name in Hebrew was Hoshea. It was changed to Yehoshua--Joshua in
English--by Moses. Yehoshua is the
Hebrew name of Jesus also. In Hebrew it
means `God is salvation’. `Jesus’
is…from the Greek Iesous.” (Of course
Mr. Machlin would not say “Yahweh is salvation”, because even though he is a
secular Jew, he still has the cultural fear of using the real Name of the
Father and thus maybe offending Him and his fellow Jews).
“Yeshua” is
a feminine past participle meaning “salvation”.
It is not a proper name, but if a person realizes that, and uses it to
describe His work of Redemption, calling Him “Salvation” is not a bad
thing. Unfortunately, many Messianic
believers use Yeshua as a name to purposely avoid using the YAH. They have the same Babylonian superstition
as the Jews, unfortunately, so they also try to “honor” Him by writing pagan
titles as: G-d and L-rd”, which is sad. Our Father’s Name is to be GREATLY HONORED,
but not avoided!
From “The
Name of Elohim” by Ruvan Ben Gershom, page 4: “Nothing in the Torah prohibits a
person from pronouncing the blessed Name of Elohim. Indeed, it is evident from Scripture that
Elohim’s Name was pronounced routinely.
Many common Hebrew names contain `Yah’ or `Yahu’, either of which are
part of Elohim’s four letter Name--(Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh). The Name was pronounced as part of daily
services in the
Yeshua is
also a shortened version of Yahushua, and may have been used as such in early
times. From the book, Rabbi Akiba’s
Messiah, the Origins of Rabbinical Authority, by Daniel Gruber,

30CE on, there were also the Talmidei Yeshua, the Jewish disciples of
Yeshua”. Rabbi Akiva (Akiba), the
founder of Rabbinical Judaism, from 133CE and following, went after the
Torah-observant, who believed in the Messiah to persecute them and kill
them. He called them “Talmidei Yeshua”. On page 176 Gruber says: “The Rabbis, led by
Akiba, sought to destroy the Talmidei Yeshua from the midst of

on with more in-depth study on the Name of the Messiah, I quote from the
Introduction to The Scriptures translation: “All the available
authoritative sources and references are in agreement and clearly admit that
our Messiah’s Name is Yahushua (Yahoshua), (see for instance Kittel’s
Theological Dictionary of the New Testament under Iesous)”

excerpts from Come Out of Her My People, by C.J. Koster, pages 60-68 and
41-42: “There is not a single
authoritative reference source which gives the name Jesus or Iesous as the
original name of our Savior! All of them
admit that the original form of the Name was Jehoshua or Yehoshua”.
“Before we continue with our study of the
words Iesous and Iesus, we would like to point out that we have been led to
believe that our Savior’s correct Name is: `Yahushua’. Our Savior said in John 5:43, `I have come in
My Father’s Name’. Again in John 17:11
He prayed to His Father, `keep them through Your Name which You have given
Me’”.
He also re-enforces
that fact in John 17:12: “in Your Name, which You gave Me”.
“What then
is His Father’s Name? Although most
scholars accept `Yahweh’…we are convinced that the correct form is
Yahuweh.”
Koster asks:
“Why did the translators of the Scriptures not retain or restore His Names when
they knew His Hebrew Name was not Jesus or Iesous?” Good question!
Page 61 and
following: “Two factors contributed greatly to the substitution and distortion
of our Savior’s Name. The first was the
un-Scriptural superstitious teaching of the Jews that the Father’s Name is not
to be uttered, that it is ineffable, that others will profane it when they use
it, and that the Name (ha Shem) must be `disguised’ outside of the temple
of Jerusalem”.
Because of the Father’s Name being in His Son’s Name, this same disastrous suppression of the Name resulted in the Greeks giving a Hellenised, in fact at surrogate name, for the Savior. He did warn us in John 5:43, `I have come in My Father’s Name…if another comes in his own name, him you will receive’”.
The second
factor was the strong anti-Judaism that prevailed among the Gentiles, as we
have already pointed out. The
Gentiles wanted a savior, but not a Jewish one.
They loathed the Jews, they even loathed the Elohim of the Old
Testament. Thus, a Hellensed savior was
preferred”. “The Messianic Belief and
its Savior had to become Hellenised to be acceptable to the Gentiles (the
pagan, heathen, and barbaric non-Hebrew people, as well as the Hebrews of the
northern tribes who had lost their identity in the nations, among the
gentiles--read Hosea about the scattered “house of Israel, House of
Ephraim/House of Joseph).
“Where did
`Iesous’ and `Iesus’ come from? In Bux and Schone, Worterbuch der
Antike, under `Jesus’ we read: “JESUS: really named Jehoshua, Iesous
(Greek), Iesus (Latin), is adapted from the Greek, possibly from the
name of a Greek goddess Ieso (Iaso)’”
“…I would like to point out that `Iaso’ is the usual Greek form while
`Ieso’ is from the Ionic dialect of the Greeks.”
Koster quotes from “a scholarly article by Hans Lamer in Philologische Wochenschrift, No 25, 21 June 1930, pp. 763-765. In this article the author recalls the fact of Ieso is the Ionic Greek goddess of healing. Hans Lamer then postulates, because of all the evidence, that `next to Ieso man shaped a proper masculine Iesous. This was even more welcome to the Greeks who converted to Christianity…The name of our Lord, which we commonly use, goes back to a long lost form of the name of a Greek goddess of healing. But to the Greeks who venerated a healing goddess Ieso, a Savior Iesous must have been most acceptable’. The Hellenisation of our Savior’s Name was indeed most cleverly done.”
“In spite of attempts made to justify the “translating”
of the Father’s Name and His Son’s Name, the fact remains: A personal name
cannot be translated! Satan’s name is
the same in all languages. He has seen
to it that his name has been left unmolested!”
“However, let us further investigate the names Ieso (Iaso and Iesous). According to ancient Greek religion, Apollo, their great Sun-deity, had a son by the name of Aselepius, the deity of healing, but also identified with the sun. Aselepius had daughters, and one of them was Iaso, the Greek goddess of healing. Because of her father’s and grandfather’s identifies as Sun-deities, she too is in the same family of Sun-deities. Therefore, the name Iesous, which is derived from Ieso, can be traced back to Sun-worship.”
“We find other related names, all of them variants of the name, Iasus, Iasion, Iasius, in ancient Greek religion, as being sons of Zeus….Quite a few scholars have remarked on the similarity between the names of the Indian Issa or Issi, and the Egyptian Isis, and the Greek Iaso”.
“In our
research on the deity Isis we made two startling discoveries. The one was, that the son of
Let me
insert here, “Jesus” from the James Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the
Bible, Greek dictionary #2424:
“Jesus: `Iesous’ (ee-ay-sooce) or the Hebrew #3091, `Jehoshua’”.
Koster
continues on page 64: “Thus by supplanting the Name of our Savior, Yahushua,
with that of the Hellenised Iesous…which became the Latinized `Jesus’, it was
easy to make the pagans feel welcome--those pagan who worshipped the Greek Ieso
(Iaso), of which the masculine counterpart is Iesous…as well as those who
worshipped the Egyptian Esu (or Isis)”.
“Further evidence
of syncretism with the Isis-system is found in A. Kircher, Oedipus
Aegypticus, wherein `the name of the son of
Another
pagan group of worshippers could also be made to feel at home with the
introduction of this surrogate name Iesous or Jesus, namely the worshippers of
Esus.
Jan de
Vries holds that Esus was a Gallic deity comparable to the Scandinavian
Odin. Odin, of course, was the
Scandinavian Sky-deity. This Gallic or
Celtic deity, Esus, has also been identified with Mars and by others with
Mercury, and was regarded to be the special deity of
“Just as
Iaso, Ieso, Iesous was derived from the Greek for healing, `iasis’, we similarly
find Isis (more correctly `Esu’) and her son Horus (more correctly `Her’),
regarded as deities of healing as well as cosmic deities, or Sun-deities, by
others.”
“The most
disturbing evidence is yet to follow.
The abbreviated form of the name Iesous is: Ies or in capitals IHS, for
in the Greek, the capitol for `e’ is `H’.
This is to be found on many inscriptions made by the Church during the
Dark Middle Ages. This fact is also well
documented and is generally admitted by scholarly sources and ordinary English
dictionaries. These dictionaries bear
witness to the fact of IHS (Ies) being an abbreviated for of Ihsous (Iesous)”.
“Furthermore,
the shocking fact has also been recorded for us that IHS was a mystery surname
of Bacchus, and was afterwards taken as initials for Iesous. We discovered this in a dictionary of
mythology and an encyclopedia of religion”.
I interrupt
Dr. Koster here to ask two questions:
Did the Roman Catholic Church fathers and leadership always know of its
pagan/mythological foundation from the time of
Pope Leo X
(the Pope who dubbed King Henry VIII the `defender of the faith’ is on record
as saying: “It has served us well, this myth of Christ”. “This myth of Christ” is still serving the
Roman Hierarchy well, and is the umbrella for the one world religion, as well
as being the breeding ground for the coming anti-messiah. This myth of “Iesous” and “Christus” is the
embodiment of the great mystery religion of
Our loving
heavenly Father, Yahuweh, and His Son, Yahushua, is calling us back to His
roots, and the Tree of Life, His Torah.
Lucifer’s tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the tree of
defilement. If the tree is defiled, all
is defiled about it, and we must not touch it, let alone eat it. The religion of Lucifer has permeated all
man-made religions. And He calls to us
with pleadings and love: “Come Out of
Her My People, lest you partake of her sins, and lest you partake
of her plagues”. His judgment on
this whore system that is unfaithful to Him--the great Lover of our souls--is
coming very, very soon!!! We must not
have one speck of that whore system clinging to us!
This whore
system is returning to its roots in the Roman Catholic Church. That is why in 1994, a goodly number of
History
also shows that Protestantism changed little, though we are thankful for the
few changes that there were! But, it
became a “fragmented Catholicism”, each church and organization having their
own “pope”--ruler, controller, spiritual guru.
Man listens to those he elevates as his spiritual leader, and believes
what is told him, therefore ingesting deceptions, lies, and twisted
truths. Because of the Alexandrian
interpretation of Scripture, an allegorical method, man feels that he can take
any verse and use it to support his own reasoning, his own position, and his
own agenda.
Of course,
the world rulers of today know about these myths of the Greco/Roman world, and
use them to their own advantage. Most
church pastors know, from their seminary education, or at least have been
exposed to the information, that the church was founded in paganism. But, because of their money, their job, their
friendship with the world, they don’t talk about it. There are also many Pastors who are ignorant
of these things. Some blow off this
information as “well, God knows our hearts”.
Yes, He knows our hearts all right, and He says in Jeremiah 17:9: “The
heart is deceitful (crooked) above all and desperately wicked (sick)—who shall
know it”? Our heart deceives us into
believing what the flesh wants to hear.
I want
Truth! I don’t want to make excuses for
living in deception and lies!!! He is
calling us out of deception and lies, because more than even now, we need to be
totally free of this counterfeit (anti-messiah) religion. The anti-messiah will cause millions of
believers to deny their salvation, and accept him as their god. There is a real Savior, Redeemer, and His Name
is Yahuweh. He came in the flesh to die
for us, and rise again for us. His roots
are in eternity past and go into eternity future. The roots of paganism go into the Garden of
Eden and have their end in the lake of fire.
You must decide which side you will join. You can’t straddle the fence, because the
horrible days to come will polarize you into one camp or the other, depending
on how much you love the Father and the Son.
Our Savior is calling out to those with a Bride’s heart, to come to Him,
and let Him do the teaching of the Word from now on.
Question: How could the Roman Catholic Church and her
Protestant daughters continue to deceive millions upon millions upon millions
of people for the last almost 1,700 years?
One major reason: Cause the
church members to be dependent on church
leaders for their understanding of the Bible, and church doctrine! Create a
“clergy” that the “laymen” are to obey, and fear not obeying. This is from paganism, since all of the
priests of the “mysteries” of Lucifer controlled the people through fear and
dependency. The Church has either totally taken the Word from the people’s
hands, as in the “Dark Ages”, or the Church, as it is today, has discouraged
the people from reading their Bibles because all they need to know, they can
get from church on Sun-day morning, or in some Bible-study class led by some
teacher. They go to man for their
teachings! They don’t go to the Ruach
(Spirit) of the Father for their teaching, even though John 16:13 says: “But
when He comes, the Spirit of Truth, He will guide you into all truth…He will
announce to you what is to come”. I
John 2:27 says: “But the anointing, which you have received from Him stays in
you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But the same anointing does teach you
concerning ALL, and is true, and is no falsehood…” The anointing is the presence of the Ruach,
the Spirit of Yahuweh. He is the only
valid infallible Teacher!
Yet man
goes to man to hear what he wants to hear.
False prophets are “a dime a dozen” now--especially in the American
church. The true prophets do not tell
people what “tickles their ears” but what is truly the Word of Yahuweh! If most don’t hear what they want to hear,
they just go to another church, or listen to another TV preacher. It is basic Gnosticism--everyone being their
own god, adjusting their belief to their lifestyle. Thus man is deceived, and receives lies and
falsehoods joyfully, not knowing that they lead to the lake of fire. My plea to you is: “Choose you this day Whom you will
serve”!
Back to Dr.
Koster’s very excellent chapter: “This revelation was confirmed by a third
witness, Dr. E.W. Bullinger, The Apocalypse, footnote page 396, `What
meanings of…IHS may be given, the fact remains that it was part of the name of
Bacchus…’
We then
realize most painfully, that our beloved Messiah was identified with the Greek
deity Bacchus, by giving our Savior the surname or other name of Bacchus,
namely: IHS or Ies! Bacchus was well
known to be a Sun-deity. Bacchus was
also a commonly known name for Tammuz among Classical writers”.
My
note: Tammuz was the “son” of Nimrod and
his wife/mother Samaramis from
“Koster
page 65: “Tammuz, you will remember, was
known to be the young returning Sun-deity, returning in the Spring. Bacchus, also known as Dionysus, was
expressly identified with the Egyptian Osiris, the well-known Egyptian
Sun-deity. Bacchus was also called
`Ichthus’, the Fish”.”
“So, yet another group, the worshippers of
Bacchus, the Sun-deity, alias Ies, were conciliated, were made welcome, with
the foreign-to-the-Hebrew name of Iesous, or
Iesus. This most appalling revelation startled us,
indeed. After being enlightened about
the solar origin of the word IHS and its fuller form IHSous, we are no longer
surprised to find the ecclesiastical emblems, IHS, encircled by sunrays,
commonly displayed on church windows”.
“No wonder
that we read the testimony of the learned Christian advocate M.Turretin, in describing the state of Christianity in the
4th century, saying: `that it was not much more than the Roman
Empire that was brought over to the Faith, as the Faith was brought over to the
Roman Empire; not the Pagans who were converted to Christianity, but
Christianity that was converted to Paganism’”.
“Another
testimony comes to us from the letter of Faustus, writing to Augustine: `You
have substituted your love-feasts for the sacrifices of Pagans; for their idols
your martyrs, whom you serve with the very same honors. You appease the shades of the dead with wine
and feasts; you celebrate the solemn festivals of the Gentiles, their
calendars, and their solstices; and to their manners, those you have retained
without any alteration. Nothing distinguishes you from the Pagans,
except that you hold your assemblies apart from them’”
Could this
not be said of the worldly church system in the West today? Yes, of course. Ja’acob (James) 4:4 says: “You adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the
world is enmity with Elohim? Whoever
therefore intends to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of
Elohim”. John writing in I John 2:15-17
says: “Do not love the world nor that
which is in the world. If anyone loves
the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Because all that is in the world—the lust of
the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but
is of the world. And the world passes
away, and the lust of it, but the one doing the desire of Elohim remains
forever”. The modern church system
speaks for itself in its attempts to please the world, and blend in with it.
From
Koster, page 66-67: He refers to
Revelation 17 and the great whore, “Mystery Babel”. She is called “mystery” because only the
hierarchy of the “mysteries” of the Babylonian pagan religion were supposed to
know the depths of the Luciferic belief.
That is why only the 33rd degree Masons are told the
“mystery”, the secret, that is hidden to all those underneath that degree. People like you and me are supposed to be
ignorant, and controllable. People with
the knowledge of the hierarchs are dangerous to them, especially if those
people worship Yahuweh! Make sense?
“Saint”
Augustine said: “
Truly the
whore church system is blasphemous. I
take hope in Hosea 2:16-17, speaking to the lost 10 tribes of Israel, who were
more lost to themselves than to the Jews: “`And it shall be, in that day’,
declares Yahuweh, `that you will call me “My Husband” and no longer call Me
“Baal” (Lord). And I will remove
the names of Baal from her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their
name”. The Name above every Name is
Yahushua. For eternity we will bow
before Him, not the Greek god `Jesus’.
Being an evangelist, teacher, and church leader since the age of 9, this
is not a statement I write lightly--but I have to tell the truth, and live by
the truth, because of my intense love for my Savior--Yahushua, and my Father,
Yahuweh.
Yahushua
came to RENEW the covenant of His Father in His own blood, as the Lamb of
Yahuweh. He fulfilled the ceremonial law
of blood sacrifice so that the Covenant could be written on our hearts. I Samuel 15:29: “Moreover, the `Glory of
Israel’ does not deceive or change His mind, for He is not human, that He
should change His mind”. He did not
throw out His eternal Word into the trash so that He could start a new
religion. Yahushua is the eternal Word,
who came to establish the Word in His people!
Returning now to Koster’s factual reporting: “Tammuz, alias Bacchus…was also known as the Fish `Ichthus’, and had the Tau, the cross, as his sign. These three (Ies, the Fish, and the cross) have survived, and are still with us today!”
From pages
41-42, of C.J. Koster’s book: “Rev. Alexander Hyslop, in his classic book, The
Two Bablyons (1853), states that our Messiah `began to be popularly
called ICHTHYS (for ICHTHUS), that is “the FISH”, manifestly to identify Him
with Dagon.’ Dagon was the
Fish-deity.” That is why the Roman
Catholic Church put Jesus’ crucifixion on Friday, with the mandate also that
each Friday be set apart by not eating meat, but eating fish. Notice that the Pope has a fish-mouth hat,
and wears a fish-shaped ring, not because Messiah particularly liked fishermen,
or that Peter was a fisherman, but to honor Dagon. Remember in the Scriptures that Dagon was the
god of the Philistines, who fell over and broke his arms, as the Ark of Yahuweh
was placed by the Philistines before him!
(See Judges 16, I Samuel 5 and II Chronicles 10)
“Augustine,
the celebrated Church Father, rather childishly, gave his reason for the fish
symbol: `If you combine the initial
letters of the five Greek words, which are Iesous Chreistos Theou Uios Soter,
Jesus Christ the Son of God the Savior, they make the word “ichthus, meaning
fish, and the mystic meaning of this noun is Christ, because He had the power
to exist alive, that is, without sin, in the bottomless pit of our mortal life,
as in the depths of the sea’. But,
Tertullian was even more frank in his blasphemous identification of our Messiah
with a fish, by calling Him `our Fish’.
Tertullian wrote, `But we, little fishes, are born in water (baptism
into the Church) according to our Fish (Ichthus), Jesus Christ.’” (All
statements in italics are mine)
“Why were
these Church Fathers so keen to identify our Savior with a fish? In The Two Babylons, pages 252
and 270, we read: `the Icthus, or the Fish, was one of the names of
Bacchus’. The adoration or veneration of
the fish emblem is clearly and emphatically forbidden in Deuteronomy 4:15-19,
and even more so once the hidden truth of the 3rd and 4th
century’s idolatrous syncretism with the Fish-deity (identifying our Messiah
with the Fish deity), has been revealed to us.
Yahuweh will not accept any attempt to justify this, in spite of
explanations (some totally contrary to Scripture) of how the pagan deities were
`Christianized’. Do read our Mighty
One’s clear warning on `the likeness of any fish’ in Deuteronomy 4:18”.
“We also
read the following findings of scholars: `The Fish is also associated with the
sun…the god of the sun…as a fish, also being an Egyptian phallic emblem, as
well as a sign of fecundity, or the female generative organ, or of female
goddesses’”. This is a basis within
evolution teaching that we all came from the Sea, and the fish, thus doctors
and others often make sport of the human fetus, saying it looks like a
fish. Also, the mermaid, half woman and
half fish, is part of this pagan worship of the fish god.
Koster goes
on to show that the worship of idols and the pagan festivals all centered
around sensuous, sexual and lustful themes, over-eating, gorging oneself with
foods and sweets, and in general satisfying the flesh. Yahuweh’s festivals are rooted in
righteousness, peace, joy and contentment.
They bring Life, health and genuine peace!
Pagan festivals
cause stress, greed, selfishness, self-centeredness, sensuousness and
indulgence, which leads to over-spending of money, and other problems in
different areas. (If you don’ have my
article entitled “Joyful Abominations”, please ask for it).
Koster
concludes with many quotes about the restoration of the Name of Yahuweh in the
last days, from the Prophets. Isaiah
52:6: “Therefore My people shall know My Name”.
In Zephaniah 3:9, we read: “For
then I will restore to the peoples a pure language, that they all may call on
the Name of Yahuweh, to serve Him with one accord”. The only language in the world that honors
Him is Hebrew.
The writers
of the original texts of the Brit Chadasha (The Messianic Scriptures) wrote in
Hebrew. They took the Gospel to the
“lost sheep of the House of Israel”--the 10 tribes who had been scattered by
Yahuweh into the nations among the gentiles. They took the good news north to the
Israelite-founded Parthian Empire, and West--all the way to the British Isles,
DNA
research has identified the Levite males from Aaron’s lineage. These males have a different “Y’ chromosome
than anyone else. Also, via DNA testing the house of Judah (Jews) have been
identified, even to their location where they were scattered. But, the 10 tribes of the northern Israelites
have not yet been so identified, except by history, archeology, legend, and
Biblical facts. Father is working now to
return the whole House of Jacob—in a representative remnant--to their homeland,

Matthew
10:5-6: “Yahushua sent these twelve out, having commanded them, saying: `Do not
go into the way of the gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans, but
rather go to the lost sheep of the House of Israel’”. Messiah said in Matthew15:24: “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of
the House of Israel”.
He
primarily came to redeem the northern 10 tribes that He had to “put away”
because of their idolatry. According
to Torah, the blood covenant of marriage is only broken by the death of one of
the two spouses. Therefore, to redeem
Let us give
the Gospel to the sinner in the Names of Yahuweh and Yahushua. Let us bring them into the Covenant of
Israel, through the blood of Yahushua, the Lamb of Elohim!!! I still give out His Gospel of salvation, and
people are born again, but I always state before I start teaching or preaching
to any group or individual, that I am going to use the real Hebrew names of the
Father and Savior. Simply saying it that
way, you don’t have to go into any long dissertation about His Names, but you
use the correct Names, which puts the born-again person much further into truth
than if you taught them the pagan names, thus making disciples on a pagan
foundation. Father is merciful to the
ignorant, but once truth comes, we are responsible to live by it, otherwise we
set ourselves at odds with Yahuweh and Yahushua.
Exodus
3:15: “AND ELOHIM SAID FURTHER TO MOSES,
`THUS YOU ARE TO SAY TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, “YAHUWEH, ELOHIM OF YOUR
FATHERS--THE ELOHIM OF ABRAHAM, THE ELOHIM OF ISAAC, AND THE ELOHIM OF JACOB,
HAS SENT ME TO YOU. THIS IS MY
NAME FOREVER, AND THIS IS MY MEMORIAL NAME TO ALL GENERATIONS’”.
Exodus
6:2-3, 6-8: “ELOHIM SPOKE TO MOSES AND SAID TO HIM, `I AM YAHUWEH. AND I APPEARED TO ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB
AS EL SHADDAI. AND BY MY NAME YAHUWEH
WAS I NOT KNOWN TO THEM. SAY THEREFORE
TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL (Jacob’s name was changed to Israel--Genesis
35:10-12-- thus the “children of Israel” are the children of Jacob) `I AM
YAHUWEH AND I SHALL BRING YOU OUT FROM UNDER THE BURDENS OF THE EGYPTIANS, AND
SHALL DELIVER YOU FROM THEIR ENSLAVING, AND SHALL REDEEM YOU WITH AN OUTSTRETCHED
ARM, AND WITH GREAT JUDGMENT AND I WILL TAKE YOU AS MY PEOPLE, AND I SHALL BE
YOUR ELOHIM. AND YOU SHALL KNOW THAT I
AM YAHUWEH…” (Italics mine)
As I said
earlier, it is probable that His whole Name (underlined above) is included in
His relationship with the three with whom He made covenant--Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, and that Yahuweh is simply a shortened version of the whole Name.
In Genesis
4:26 we read: “Then it was begun to call
on the Name of Yahuweh”. That is way
before the flood of Noah’s time. Did His
Name come through the flood? Noah must have known His Name. But, for some reason, Abraham did not know
His Name as Yahuweh, only as El Shaddai. (Exodus 6:2-3) Perhaps Nimrod’s defiance of Yahuweh, in
building the tower, and starting his own sun god religion with Himself as god,
and his wife as the Queen of Heaven, and his son, Tammuz, as the first sun god
who “died and rose again” according to the sun’s winter/spring cycle, most
likely wiped the Name off of the earth to a great extent. The use of “El Shaddai” – the Almighty – is
even used by the Masons today. The
Arabs, however, know from their history that
The word
similar to “El Shaddai” was used as an ancient name for God by the ancient
Chinese, after the scattering by Yahuweh from the

it is said in Psalm 22:22 and repeated in Hebrews 2:12: “I WILL TELL OF YOUR
NAME TO MY BRETHREN”. The reason the Jewish leaders were so furious at the
crowd as Yahushua entered

the generic title “God”: From The
Scriptures, pages 1214 and 1215, under “Gad”: “Apart from Gad, the son of Ya’acob, there
was another Gad. The astrologers of
Neither
must we use “Lord”. In Hebrew “Ba’al”
(Baal) means “Lord or Master”. Six thousand eight hundred and twenty three (6,
823) times the word “Lord” in the Scriptures should be translated “Yahuweh”,
except for a few times when the Hebrew word “Adonai” is used for “Master”. Jewish Scribes, out of fear of using the Name
of Yahuweh, (an old Babylonian superstition that continues to this day among
Jews and Jewish Messianic believers) changed “Yahuweh” in the Tenach 134 times
that we know of, substituting the word “Adonai”. Even today, the Jews and most Messianic Jews
use Ha Shem (the Name), or Adonai, instead of His real memorial Name. You can easily check these things because
they are factual and documented.
Quoting
from Ruvan Ben Gershom’s article, “The Name of Elohim”, pages 1-2: “`God’: Is
this, or the Hebrew word `Elohim’, the name of the Almighty? No, it is
not! The Hebrew word Elohim tells us
what and who the Almighty is. Thus it is
an attribute of the Almighty. `God’--Is
this the correct word to use as the attribute of the Almighty? History and the Tenach prove that it is not! `But you are those who have forsaken YHWH,
who forget My holy mountain, who prepare a table for Gad, and who give a drink
offering for Meni’ Isaiah 65:11. Rabbis
of old and all commentaries agree that `Gad’ is a pagan deity, as is
`Meni’. Gad is interpreted as the well
known Syrian or Canaanite deity of `Good Luck’ or `Fortune’, and `Meni’ is
their deity of `destiny’”. (Note: We know that “luck” is a nickname for
Lucifer). Continuing on with Ruven Ben
Gershom’s article, page 2: “History -
Later the Massoretes vowel-pointed it and added an `a’ to give us `Gad’. `Gad’ is used in other Scriptures--We find in
Joshua 11:17, 12:7, and 13:5 `baal gawd’ or `baal God’ according to the
vowel-pointed Massoretic Hebrew text.
`God’ was also a place named after their deity. Astrologers identified `Gad’ with Jupiter,
the sky-deity/sun deity. As `Gad’ was
the sun deity, `Meni’ was regarded as “Lord of the Moon”. Later the words `gawd, gott, god’ became the
common Teutonic words for religious worship. `Gawd’ and `Gott’ were the
attributes applied to superhuman beings of heathen myths.
Later on, in
conversion to Roman Catholic `Christianity’, this word was then applied to
their `Supreme Being’, including the `three persons’ of the Emperor
Constantine’s trinity.
The
question arises: Why does
“Elohim” is
the plural of “El”, and often Elah or Eloth is used. The “im” makes it plural. He says in Genesis 1:26: “Let US make man in
OUR image, according to OUR likeness”.
In Genesis 11:7: “Come, Let US go
there and confuse their language…” In
Isaiah 6:8: “Who will go for US?” The
Ruach, or “Holy Spirit” is Yahuweh Himself.
They are not two “persons”. There
is no “trinity”. But, in eternity past,
Yahushua was “begotten”. He came forth
from the center of Yahuweh and took form.
He then could manifest Himself on earth before He was incarnated on
earth. But for our salvation—for Him
being able to die--He took a body of flesh, and will forever be separate in
that way from the Father. But, also in
Isaiah 9:6 we read that He is called “the everlasting Father”. He said, “I and the Father are one”. Yahuweh is One--“echad” in Hebrew. In
Zechariah, for example, it is Yahuweh who “I am returning”. It is Yahuweh who puts His foot on the
Continuing
on: From Don Esposito’s Newsletter, October-December 2004, pages 2-3: “Almost
7,000 times in the English translations of the original Hebrew Texts the
translators take out the Sacred Name of our Creator YHWH and replace it with
either the word God or Lord.
God and
Lord are titles, not personal names.
YHWH is omnipotent and everlasting and all merciful….” “After the Babylonian captivity the Rabbi’s
felt this Name to be too sacred to say and started to hide the phonetic
pronunciation of the Name YHVH. The
Talmud tells us that they even wrote it incorrectly so that if someone was reading
the Name they would not accidentally pronounce it. We are told to praise the Name of YHVH
(Yahweh), to exalt His Name and to call upon His Name. How could we do this if we are not allowed to
pronounce it? Clearly the Rabbis were
wrong and only trying to control the people!
What they started to do was take the vowels from Adonai…and mix them
with the consonants for YHWH and they came up with “Jehovah”. They only used
Jehovah so no one could pronounce the Name correctly. Very easily you could see that “Jehovah”
would not be the correct pronunciation as there is no “J” in Hebrew, and in
Hebrew the name “Hovah” comes from Strong’s Concordance #1943 and means “ruin
or mischief”. The Name of our Heavenly
Father is not ruin or mischief!”
“According
to the Rabbis who purposely write the Name incorrectly so as not to be
accidentally spoken, they would only say the Name once a year on the day of
Atonement
(Yom Kippur) and this only by the High Priest who would go into the Temple, but
later it was sanctioned by the Rabbis that the Name could be said by all Jews,
but again, only once a year and this only at sunset at the ending of
Atonement. Out of curiosity, I went to
the Wailing Wall last year, where this is done, as Atonement was ending and
heard the pronunciation of the YHVH as “Yahweh”.
“Another
falsehood that has come up is that the Name Yahweh is pagan because it has been
found on some ancient inscriptions and possibly used by ancient
Samaritans. The fact that the Name
Yahweh has been found on ancient inscriptions proves to me more that Yahweh is
the true Name of the Creator, for remember what Genesis 4:26 states: `Then
began men to call on the Name of Yahweh’.
So mankind knew the Name of our Creator from earliest times (from Adam’s
time), even though it was lost among most civilizations, it is not surprising
that archeological evidence surfaces to show proof that Yahweh is the Creator’s
Name!” (As for the Samaritans using the
Name of Yahweh: See the story in II
Kings 17:24-28).
From “The
Name of Elohim” by Ruvan Ben Gershom, page 5: “The word `Jehovah’ comes from
the fact that ancient Hebrew texts used to put the vowels of the title `Adonai’
under the consonants of the Memorial Name, YHVH, to remind

pagans, more than among His own people!!!
“O YAHWEH,
OUR YAHWEH, HOW EXCELLENT IS YOUR NAME IN ALL THE EARTH! Psalm 8:1, 9
Don
Esposito continues his remarks on the Savior’s Name, page 16, with a most
profound question: “It is clear that our
Savior was of Hebrew stock and was, according to the Scripture, the Son of
David in the flesh as well as the Son of Yahweh. So why would we refer to our Hebrew Savior
who came to redeem
Isaiah
42:8: “I, I AM Yahuweh, that is My
Name, and My glory I do not give to another, nor praise to idols”. Verse 25: “I, I am He, who blots out
your transgressions for My same, and remember your sins no more”. Now look at John 18:4-6, regarding the arrest
of Yahushua in the Garden of Gethsemane:
“Yahushua, then, knowing all that would come upon Him, went forward and
said to them, `Whom do you seek’? They
answered Him, `Yahushua of Nazareth’.
Yahushua said to them, `I AM HE’…When, therefore, He said to
them, `I AM HE’, they drew back and fell to the ground”.
The Name I
AM (YAH) must be in the Messiah’s Name also.
In Isaiah 9:6, Yahushua is called:
“The everlasting Father”. The
first 3 Hebrew letters that are in the Father’s Name are also in the Son’s
Name. Otherwise,
In Isaiah 43:11, we read: “I, I am Yahuweh, and besides Me there is no savior”. The word “savior” is “yeshua”.

there is no god besides Me, a righteous El, and a Savior, there is none besides
Me. Turn to Me and be saved, all you

there is none else”.
“Whosoever
calls on the Name of Yahuweh shall be saved”.
Acts 2:21 and Romans 10:13
Yahuweh
says in the first of the Ten Commandments:
“You shall have no other gods before My face”. Putting anyone or anything, or any other name
before Him and His Name is idolatry.
Speaking of
Yahushua: Philippians 3:9-11: “Elohim,
therefore, has highly exalted Him and given Him THE NAME, which is above
every name, that at THE NAME of Yahushua every knee should bow, of those in
heaven, and of those on the earth, and of those under the earth, and every
tongue should confess that Yahushua the Messiah is Yahuweh, to the glory of
Elohim the Father.” If we want to
glorify the Father, we will use His Name in the Son’s Name.
From Terry
Seedman’s Holy to Yahveh, page 208-209:
“When Yahshua asserted His oneness with Yahveh, `they (Jewish

Terry continues: “On another occasion, He was questioned by the High Priest: `Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?’ Notice how the High Priest avoids using the Name of Yahweh? Yahshua responds, `I AM…’ “And tearing his clothes, the High Priest said, `…You have heard the blasphemy…’ And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death”. Mark 14:61-64
John
5:43: “I have come in My Father’s Name
and you do not receive Me. If another
comes in His own Name (a man-made name), you will receive him’”.
(Italics mine)
I strongly
believe that this man-made name that was received and substituted for His real
Name was Iesous--transliterated “Jesus”. The anti-messiah, the lawless
(Torah-less) man will come also in the name of Jesus. There’s just too much evidence to prove that
statement, both in modern statements from the
Because of
the attempts of the Jewish leaders to hide His Name, we can understand why the
religious leaders at the foot of Messiah’s stake, were so horrified that Pilate
had put the Name of Yahushua on a plaque over His head--it contained, as far as
they were concerned, the unutterable Name of Yahuweh.
In Exodus
23:13 Yahuweh says: "And in all
that I have said to you take heed. And
make no mention of the name of other mighty ones (gods), let it not be heard
from your mouth". We are
not to mention any other names as gods, including the titles of “God and
Lord”. Yahuweh may even be used in place
of the title Elohim. But, we must not
take it commonly, or lightly, but with utmost respect and honor!!!
Once day, He
will restore to us a “pure language”, with no names of other gods in it!
Zephaniah
3:9: “For then I shall turn unto the peoples a clean lip, so that they all call
upon the Name of Yahuweh, to serve Him with one shoulder”.
Hosea
2:16-17: “`And it shall be in that day’, declares Yahuweh, `that you will call
Me “My Husband”, and no longer call Me “My Ba’al”. And I shall remove the names of the Ba’als
out of your mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name’”. Therefore, at the Name of Yahushua “every
knee will bow” to the honor and esteem of “Yahuweh” the Father. (Philippians
2:9-10) The name “Jesus”, and His titles
“Christ”, “God” and “Lord” will be removed from all mouths. Think about that.
Our Father
and our Savior have had a lot of mercy on our ignorance, to say the least! I have been born again for 54 years, being
saved in the name of “Jesus”. But, about
1995, I learned the real Names of my Father and Bridegroom. From that time, I have dropped all pagan
names and titles and only use the names and titles that He approves of. When I hear Truth, the Ruach ha Kodesh (Holy
Spirit) within my re-born spirit tells me what is right or wrong. He is my Teacher, my Guide, My Friend. He is the Ruach Yahuweh! When Truth comes, love tells us to drop the
deceptions and lies, and embrace the Truth, because He is Truth.
The Brit
Chadasha was written in Hebrew. Every
Greek translation was different...with additions, subtractions, rewrites,
changes, and purposed substitutions of pagan words for Hebrew names and
titles. This is part of the reason why
we have 2,000 or more Christian denominations—because of differences of
opinions based on different translations.
The Latin Vulgate Bible translated by the Gnostic “Saint” Jerome, also
substituted words that were never intended in the Greek, to further pervert
anything Hebrew. For example: The Greeks
used the word "stauros", which is valid--meaning a pole, stake, or
tree--straight up and down--no cross beam.
Jerome introduced the word "crux" (a pagan symbol), which the
English translated as "cross".
It was a mockery of our Savior's death by the Roman Catholics. He was not nailed to a pagan fertility symbol
of the goddess Ishtar, the mother goddess, Queen of heaven. Jerome introduced the Latin word translated
into the English as "Law" to replace the word Torah--good
Instructions or Teachings of Yahuweh.
The Greek
word for the Torah is "nomos"--to parcel out food, or to graze
animals. Yahushua told Peter: "Feed
my sheep"--feed them what? The
Living Word--the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings--the Tenach
(Tenak)! Yahushua was/is the living Tenach.
The Tenach,
an acronym for the Torah, Prophets and Writings, was the only Scripture that
the early believers had until many years later on. The Brit Chadasha or Messianic Scriptures was
not put together until the 5th century as a volume of writings. By that time, many substitutions, additions
and subtractions, rewrites and overwrites were done by the Church to conform it
to their teachings. That is why we have
so many different translations today—many of them translated to accommodate
certain denominational beliefs. The
Tenach, however, stayed pretty much the same as it did in its first-translated
form from Hebrew to Greek.
Our good
Father, however, has not allowed error to invade the Brit Chadasha that would
cause us to be denied our salvation.
However, in many modern “thought for thought” translations and
“paraphrases”, there are sometimes thousands of changes from the original Greek
text, taking out key words, like “the blood” of Messiah, and other things that
would cause us to know more deeply what was being really being said. Some newer translations have gone so far as
to create their own Greek text, which substantiates their many changes,
additions and deletions. The creators of
this new Greek text are not believers in the deity of Messiah, His virgin
birth, His miracles, even denying His death and resurrection for salvation, but
men who believe in evolution, and back New Age causes, including homosexuality,
and a one world government. The chief
translator, for example, of the NIV Bible is a Gnostic, and the chief editor a
professed lesbian. This is why so much
of the “meat of the Word” has been removed from the New Testament, because of
the sins of the translators, and their affiliations with the Luciferic
community.
Also
remember that you can’t read the misnamed “New Testament” with a Greco/Roman
mind--it was written by Jews, in Hebrew, to Jews and Israelite believers
primarily--those who kept the Torah of Yahuweh.
So it’s instructions go back to the Torah. Also remember that the foundation of all
Instruction and Teaching is the Torah.
The Prophets, the Writings are built on the Torah. If the Torah does not, by two to three
witnesses, substantiate anything—it is not from the El of Israel.
Unfortunately
for all of us, Rav Sha’ul’s (Paul) words were twisted by many to make him look
like He was not a Torah-observant man, though the book of Acts backs up his
Torah-observance. (Read Acts chapters
18-26 as examples) Peter, speaking of
Paul’s writings, warned us: “which those
who are untaught and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do
also the other Scriptures”--II Peter 3:15-16.
Paul, Rav
Sha’ul, was very Torah-observant, as were all the Apostles and disciples of the
1st century. Thus the
Messianic Scriptures must be built on the Torah--which it is!
Have you
noticed that if there is argument by Christians against the Torah, they always
quote a few verses out of context from Romans, Galatians (a book about
salvation by faith) and Colossians to make Paul say things he didn’t say
against the Torah? That is odd isn’t
it? But, they have been taught by their
pastors and teachers to read the Bible with Greco/Roman mockery against the
Torah of Yahuweh.
Remember
Yahushua’s admonition in Luke 6:48-49.
The “rock” foundation is the pure, unchanged Word of
Yahuweh/Yahushua.
In II Peter
1:20-21 we read: “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture came to be
of one’s own private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the desire of
man, but men of Elohim spoke, being moved by the Set-Apart Spirit” (Holy
Spirit).
II Timothy
3:16-16: “All Scripture is
breathed by Elohim and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for setting
straight, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of Elohim might be
fitted, equipped for every good work”.
The “Scriptures” were the Tenach--the Torah, the Prophets and the
Writings, which the Emperor Constantine mockingly named the “Old Testament”.
Luke
24:26-27, 44-45, Messiah speaking: “Was it not necessary for Messiah to suffer
these things and enter into His glory?
And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He was explaining to them
in all the Scriptures the matters concerning Himself. And He spoke to them: `These are the words
which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all have to be fulfilled
that were written in the Torah of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning
Me’. Then He opened their minds to
understand the Scriptures”.
The
negative-sounding Roman word for “Law” was intended by the Romans to put a
further wedge between the Tenach and the Brit Chadasha, making an "Old”
vs. a “New Testament" in the English translations. The word "Law" was intended to be a
mockery, as in the slur: “the law of the Jews" or “the law of Moses",
separating the believers from the Elohim of Israel, Yahuweh. The mockery of the statement: “the law nailed
to the cross” was pushed in the 1940’s as a major doctrine. In the late 1800’s, the Protestant Christians
still held to the Ten Commandments, though they still Romanized the fourth one,
not knowing that it was the Roman Emperor Constantine who moved the day of
worship to Sunday—the day of the sun god.
But, in the
Hebrew version of Matthew, copied in the 13th century by a man
called Shem Tob, we find a very Torah-observant Jewish rabbi (Yahushua) who
fought with the local religious leaders of the day who were adding to the
Torah, and making it a man-made religion.
Matthew
5:17: Yahushua says: “Do not think that I have come to destroy the Torah or the
Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but
to magnify and expand them”. The word
translated into the English as “fulfill” means, from the Hebrew, to put under a
magnifying glass, and expand the Torah into the realm of not only action, but
thought and intent. Thus, verses 18 and
19 are a warning lest anyone even change a “yod or tittle”--the smallest letter
and marking of the Hebrew Torah.
Therefore, in verses 21 and forward, He expands basic words of
Torah. The Torah is good! -- It is our
life, health, peace, and joy, for it
brings us into set-apartness with our Father.
What was nailed to the stake was the living Torah--Yahushua. He took away our debts that we owed to Father
for our sin--which resulted in death.
Look at the whole context of Colossians 2:14-15. When He said on the stake, “IT IS FINISHED”,
that expression meant, “PAID IN FULL”.
He cancelled the debt that we owned to the Father for our sins. The Torah is still foreshadowing “things to
come”. The Torah talks about our
day. It gives the prophecies to the
twelve tribes “in the latter years”.
In several
passages of Scripture, we are told that loving the Father and the Son means
obedience to the Commandments of Torah. (John chapters 14-15, for
examples) In the Hebrew understanding
of the word “love”--if you love someone, you obey and submit to them.
From
Matthew 7:13-23 we get a clear picture of how narrow the Way to Life really
is: “Enter in at the narrow gate! Because the gate is wide—and the way is
broad—that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in through it. Because
the gate is narrow and the way is hard-pressed which leads to life, and there
are few who find it. But beware of the
false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly, they
are savage wolves. A good tree is unable
to yield wicked fruit, and a rotten tree is unable to yield good fruit. So then by their fruits you shall know
them. Not everyone who says to Me
`Master, Master’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing
the desire of My Father in the heavens.
Many shall say to me in that day, `Master, Master, have we not
prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty
works in Your Name?’ Then I shall
declare to them, `I never knew you, depart from Me you who work
lawlessness’”. “Lawlessness” is
Torah-lessness.
The concept of "grace" as opposed to "the law of the Jews" was a Roman invention. The Torah is the “Torah of Yahuweh”. The idea of two covenants, one old and one new, was a Roman Catholic invention. Father’s “grace” goes back to Genesis 3, when He killed the first animal and put the bloody skin on Adam and Eve, picturing the salvation of Yahuweh/Yahushua.
The idea of
"works" vs. "faith" was a Protestant invention. Your faith is useless if you don’t work it
out in actuality. Faith gets us born
again, but once we’re in His Kingdom, we are responsible to obey the rules of
His Kingdom. In fact, much of our basic
Christian thinking of today has come out of Gnosticism and Greek philosophy
through priests and monks, bishops and theologians, philosophers and teachers
of the Roman Catholic Church in the 4th-12th centuries. The Word tells us that we will be judged by
our works, and rewards will be given accordingly.
II
Corinthians 11:14-15: “…Satan himself masquerades as a messenger of light! It is not surprising then, if his servants
also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end shall be according to
their works!” Father wants us to wake up
and recognize the “servants of righteousness” who are masquerading, who are
really servants of Satan! When we are in
love with Yahushua, as a Bride is in love with her fiancée, then we will be
able to see the wicked ones who are masquerading as friends of the Bridegroom,
but are really messengers of evil. If we
LOVE THE TRUTH, we will not be deceived.
In II Thessalonians 2:10-13, the ones who are “damned” are those who did
“not receive the love of the truth”.
When a Bride is in love--the last thing she'd want to do is to pronounce the name of her Beloved wrong. The last thing she wants to do is to be rebellious against the requests of the one she loves. If the Bridegroom is the Mighty, Eternal, Creator of the Universe, how much more should a Bride be careful to pronounce His Name correctly. He commands us to use His Hebrew Name. If she is marrying a man named Charlie, the last thing she'd want to call him would be Bob, or any other man’s name. She would put all other men out of her life, and adjust only to the one she is marrying. The third commandment or term of the marriage covenant is: "Do not take the name of Yahuweh your Elohim in vain"--or do not make it common, cheap, and use it wrongly-falsely.
The Ten Commandments are the basis of what Yahushua wants in His Bride--a loyal, sweet, gentle woman with a heart only for Him. That’s what the Ten Commandments are all about--they are the terms of the marriage contract. They are what He expects in His Bride. He doesn’t want a Bride who puts other “men” or gods or idols before Him. He doesn’t want her putting anyone else in His face, nor speaking His Name wrong, nor keeping mementos of other boyfriends, nor breaking their date-day (Shabbat), nor being unkind or disrespectful to others. When you look at the basic Torah--the Ten Commandments--put that way, they make more sense.
I like to get to the roots of belief! I don’t want to believe what some old Greek or Roman taught. I want to know my heavenly Father. I want a relationship with Him. I want to know my coming Bridegroom. I don’t want some human telling me what he thinks. I want to hear the Word taught by the Ruach ha Kodesh—the Author of the Word—the Spirit of Yahuweh. I want to know what is false, so that I can dump it where it belongs, and embrace His Truth. I am so glad that many now are doing that also.
Please
study for yourself. Let the Ruach
Yahuweh guide your studying! The King is coming, and we must align to His
Truth and Names, and His absolutes. We
must not compromise and join the now-returning Greco/Roman culture, as it
spreads now throughout the earth, but remain loyal to the One, True, Only
Elohim, Creator of all, Yahuweh and His Salvation, Yahushua.
As
ingrained into our culture as it is, “evolution” is still a deception. It cannot be proved at all. Creation Scientists, like Dr. Carl Baugh, of
the Creation Science Museum in Glen Rose,
Yahushua
said of our day: “You will be hated by
all men for My Name’s sake. But, he who
has endured to the end shall be saved”.
(Matthew 10:22) What Name is He
talking about? He only knew one Name.
As the world has accepted evolution, so the world accepts the name `Jesus’. The pagan Roman holiday of `Christ-mass’, for example, is celebrated by all religions and cultures, except Judaism. Christmas decorations are all over Muslim towns, in Communist China, etc. Doesn’t that say something? The Word and history lets us know that Messiah’s birthday was at the Feast of Tabernacles. He was born in a “succah” to “tabernacle among us”. Yahushua said: “…what is highly thought of among men is an abomination in the sight of Elohim”. (Luke 16:15)
We must go
to the roots of everything we believe in order to get rid of all that our
Father and Savior calls “abomination”. If the root is defiled, the tree is
defiled, and the fruit is defiled, and all who eat it are also defiled!
The one world
religion is home-based under the umbrella of the
Look at
Zechariah 3:1-2—Yahuweh rebuked Satan, using His own Name. There is no more
powerful Name in the universe than Yahuweh/Yahushua.
It is time to get on one side of the fence or the other, “You cannot serve both Yahuweh and Baal”. The world is already divided up into two camps. One camp is the camp of Lucifer (Satan who looks good and sounds good), ruled by Lucifer and his elite world-leader agents and their followers, and the other camp is the camp of Yahuweh, who is loyal and obedient to Messiah Yahushua and to Yahuweh’s Word, filled with the Ruach Yahuweh. The world is polarizing whether a person wants to polarize or not. No one can straddle a fence any longer. The “broad way” that leads to destruction is widening. The “narrow way that leads to life” is narrowing. If you do not embrace truth, with repentance for your ignorance and sin against Yahuweh, then you will surely polarize into Lucifer’s camp out of fear, or for convenience, or to maintain your lifestyle, or your life, or the lives of those you love. There is a “mark of the beast” on the horizon, and if you are not strong in Yahuweh, you will easily fall for the deception that leads to damnation.
Getting a human person’s name right is not so much an
accuracy thing, as it is a heart thing!
How much more important is it to get our Beloved’s Name right!
Let me close with the High Priestly blessing from Numbers 6:23-27:
“Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying `This is how you
bless the children of
Yahuweh make His face to shine upon you, and show favor to you;
Yahuweh lift up His face upon you,
and give you peace”.
“Thus shall you put My Name on the children of
PRAISE THE SET-APART NAME OF YAHUWEH AND YAHUSHUA! HalleluYAH!
