About Yahweh

The Yisra'el of today is walking the same path that the Yisra'el of the Judges and of some of the Kings walked. Yisra'el has always been prone to wander and make for itself "Elohiym's that are not Elohiym's". Elohiym's that are the creation of their own minds or that of others. Our Mighty Ones (Elohiym) has but ONE Name - and it is found only where all Truth is found - in His Word.  Period! If you cannot find it in His Word then it is the wrong Name!

His Name is not found through the wisdom of man: encyclopedias, clever "yahweh" studies, what the Samaritans called Him - "Yabeh", or what the Greek scholars said His Name was - Yabe (Yave), or Yahovey (English pronunciation).  For those who have eyes to see - count the letters in yahweh - there are six - the number of man. While in YaHuWaH, there are seven - YaHuWaH's perfect number!

Four ancient Ibry [Hebrew] consonants cannot yield a two syllable word - yahweh.  Nor can four Ibry vowel sounds (per Josephus) yield a two syllable word - yahweh. However, with all of this said, the real test as to the validity of "yahweh" (yahway) is by the Word - the ONLY true test! What is truly amazing is that the "Studies of the Great Name" on many of the yahweh web sites come to this conclusion: "The spelling Yahweh is acceptable as long as one remembers that the "w" has a "uu" sound and not a hard "w" sound." .... this would yield "Yahuweh (Yah-uu-eh)" which at least contains the "Yahuw" - I AM HE.

This is from "nazarite.net": Concerning the name "Yahweh" - it's close, except it can't be. The Fathers name in Hebrew is spelled Yod-Hey-Waw-Hey (YHWH). Now Yod-Hey (YH) is a root and Waw-Hey (WH) is also a root. When you add two roots together you end up with three syllables. Now every seven-year-old kid in the first grade in Israel knows this. This is fundamental rule in basic Hebrew grammar. With the vowel points YH becomes Yah, and WH become Wah, when you add them all together you get YaHuWaH pronounced Yah-hoo-ah or Yahuah with three syllables. Another issue with the name Yahweh is the Hey (H) can't have one sound one time then another sound another. Yahweh has the Hey (H) as aH in the first root then eH in the second root, which is it?

There are two major errors that the "yahweh" people make.  The first is over the pronunciation of "Yah" that they cling to. The second is how they view the often repeated phrase "I AM HE" that is seen in the Word - especially in YashaYahuw [Isaiah]. A phrase that the Eternal One uses to identify Himself to His people.

First, let's deal with the pronunciation "Yahh".

 shem                        Yahh               `       alaz                         paniym
Strongs  [08034]   Strongs  [03050]  Strongs  [05937]     Strongs  [06440]

The "Hebrew" language almost always follows a consonant sound with a vowel sound, and that leaves the final syllable to be determined. Therefore, the vowel pointed abbreviation "Yahh" that is found in the Scriptures, leads us to the pronunciation of YaH-Huw and shows that the first two syllables of His Name should be pronounced in that manner - not as Yah as so many believe.  This spelling is also witnessed to by the many names of His people who have in their names "yahuw" or as some spell it "yahu". There are a great many believers in the island nation of the  Pacific who call upon this name - "Yahuw" instead of the longer version - YaHuWaH. Furthermore, this error of pronunciation has caused many folks to  label the Anointed One with a name that is NOT His!  They wrongly believe that the "short form" of the Creator's name is "Yah", then compound the error by adding to it the "shua" - saving/deliverance - thereby coming up with "Yahshua or worse still Y'shua".  However, if they were true to the Hebrew and the true pronunciation of "Yahh", they would arrive at the true Name of the Anointed, Yah-huw-shua [YaHuWSHu'A].  People of the Yisra'eliy community around the world of today regularly pronounce names that end in the letter sequence yh, such as the Prime Minister of Yisra'el NetanYahu - spelled in Hebrew as - NTN YH- yielding NeTaN YaHuw, having the same ending sound that should be applied to scriptural names that end in the same manner, such as YirmeYahuw, YashaYahuw and so many others.

Secondly, the oft repeated phrase "I AM HE" which is "Ani Huw (first person)" in Hebrew and translates into "YaHuW (third person)"(Hebrew spelling), and is a major identifying part of His Great Name -YaHuWaH, is for some reason, not seen or acknowledged by them as being of any importance! Notice the text below, just one of many in which the identifying phrase "I AM HE" is used. (The actual Hebrew reads just "I He" - "Ani Huw" - the "am" is place between these words for clarification.)

YashaYahuw (Isaiah) 52:5-6 "And saith - I AM HE  Who is Self Existent; Continually everyday I lament the destruction of My Name that they have set to blaspheme.  Therefore in That Day speaks He, certainly My Name they shall know; it is He Who Exists (YaHuWaH); with tears they shall report, BEHOLD! (from Hebrew)

Shemoth 20:7 “You shall not bring the Name of YaHuWaH  your Elohiym to naught, for YaHuWaH will not hold him guiltless who brings His Name to naught. (ruin, nothing, despised, worthless - by wrong or non-use)

Mishle/Proverbs 30:4

Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended?

Who has gathered the wind in His fists?

Who has bound the waters in His garment?

Who has established all the ends of the earth?

What is His Name, and what is His Son’s Name, if you know?

That text above from Mishle [Proverbs] 30:4 -  is one that is loved and used by many of Yisra'el when introducing others to the Names of the Eternal One and His Anointed.  It still has much to say to us of Yisra'el today - and needs answering.  Yisra'el of today is awash with names that are not names, names that "bring to nothing" the Name of the Eternal One [YaHuWaH] and His Mashiyach [Messiah]. Names that cannot be proven from Scripture and have no Scriptural basis.

With this said, I would like to make the following challenges: First challenge - that you use the four texts below to test the validity of the Names by which you call on the Eternal One and His Anointed.  These texts are self-checking, that is, the Father's Name should appear within the Name of His Anointed according to text one; and the Anointed's Name should contain the Father's Name according to text two & three. .... and the Anointed's Name should be distinctive from all other Names given as stated in text four.  So write out the Names you call our Father and His Son and see if they meet these requirements!  - and there is no way that YaHuWaH's Name can be separated from the Name of His Anointed,  for YaHuWaH's Name must be within the Name of YaHuWSHu'A. (For YaHuWaH was within YaHuWSHu'A in all His Weightiness, Fullness and Power - bringing the world to Himself) The enunciation of one Name will verify the other Name!

1. ☛  Shemoth/Exodus 23:20 “Behold, I send My Messenger before you, to guard you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. 23:21 Pay attention to Him, and listen to His voice. Don’t provoke Him, for He shall not pardon your disobedience, for My Name is in Him." ....  (the  Name for Himself that He gave to Mosheh)

2. ☛  Yahuwchanan [John]  5:43 "I have come in My Father’s Name, and you don’t receive Me. If another comes in his own name, you shall receive him." and ....

 3. ☛ Yahuwchanan [John]17:11 "O Set-apart Father, guard them by Your Name, which You have given Me, that they may be one union, even as We are."

Along with these two texts, one must keep in mind that "The Name" given to the Mashiyach is above and is distinctive from all other names - the Fathers's name is within His  ... as Sha'uwl states in Phillipians 2: 9-11:

4. ☛ "Which is why YaHuWaH also highly exalted Him, and gave to Him A Name which is above every other name; in order that at the Name of YaHuWSHu'A  every knee should bow, of the ones in the heavens, and the ones on the earth, and the ones under the earth, and that every tongue should openly acknowledge: YaHuWSHu'A the Anointed is YaHuWaH, to the esteem of Eloah the Father"(cf. YashaYahuw 45:23-24 - By Myself I have sworn, the Word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to Me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall swear. They shall say of Me, 'There is righteousness and strength only within YaHuWaH!")

A positive example of this "self check" is given here:

1.  [From the Hebrew: The Father: -  YaHuWaH : The Son: - YaHuWShu'A   (YaHuW-SHu'A - I AM HE who SAVES/DELIVERS). He came in His Father's Name - including a major part of the tetra-gram.]

2. [One name combination that does not follow these texts is:

 Yahweh (Yahway) for the Father and Y'shua, Yahshua, or Yahusha, for the Son.  The name Yahweh is not within YaHuWSHu'A, as He did not come in that name  ..... therefore, something is wrong!] (Though, I did come across a web site that was true to the above "tests" - They call the Father yahweh, and His Son yahwehshua. - at least they are honest to the texts!)

WHO IS "YAHWEH"?
The Massoretic text from which many scholars, Christians, and Messianics get the name Yahweh - using the YHWH of the tetragammaton - do not understand the the Massorite's incorrectly borrowed the vowels from the Hebrew word for "Lord" and attached these vowels to the tetragammaton. In doing so they came up with the name "Jehovah". But knowing there is no "J" sound in Hebrew or "V" sound in Hebrew, they eventually came up with Yahweh (Yah-whey) - to which most cling tenaciously.

With a little research, one can easily find that the Greeks called their chief god "Zeus". The Romans called him "Jupiter" for he was their chief god. He was their god of light, the sky and weather, and the god of the state of its laws and its welfare. Jupiter was also given the name "Jove" in Latin. Let's take a look at how "Jove" is pronounced.

In Latin there is no "J" sound -  but is pronounced like the English "Y". The short "O" in Latin sounds like the English "AH". The Latin "V"  sounds like the English "W" as there is no "V" sound in Latin. The "E" in Latin sounds like the short "EH" in English. Now let's see how "Jove"  is sounded out in English.
J = Y
O = AH
V = W
E = EH

JOVE = YAHWEH

Therefore, those who call the Eternal One - The Creator of All - by the name YAHWEH are calling Him by the name of the Roman god Jupiter, and the Greek god Zeus. This is nothing less than an abomination - bringing His Name to nothing, and mouthing the name of a pagan god and then saying it is His Name.

Here is a challenge" from another website dealing with the name "yahweh - yah-way"
"In fact, I issue this challenge to anyone who believes the Creator's name to be "Yahweh."
If you'll send me a copy of the name "Yahweh" written in Hebrew with the Masoretic vowel points; along with the corresponding locations in the Old Testament (Masoretic Text) where that particular combination of consonants and vowels points appear in writing, and articulates the pronunciation "Yahweh," I will gladly place it here!" (No one has ever sent him the data he requested!)

Note: That the Father's Name appear within His Mashiyach's Name is vital, for YaHuWaH's Mashiyach is YaHuWaH manifested in the flesh-!! A beautiful and wonderful truth that explains so much in the Word .... and is very easy to see throughout the Writings of the TaNaK [First Testament] and the Brit Chadasha. [Apostolic Writings/New Testament]

Acts 2:36  “Let all the house of Yisra'el therefore know certainly that Eloah has made this YaHuWSHu'A whom you hanged on a stake, both Master YaHuWaH and haMashiyach.”

Acts 2:38 Kepha said to them, “Each of you reconsider, and be immersed, every one of you, in the Name of the Master YaHuWaH-YaHuWSHu'A haMashiyach for the washing away of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Ruwach haQadosh.

Note: Derivatives of the Name of The Almighty should also be found in the Word within the names of His people. [All Hebrew names have meaning and often picture the works, deliverance, and wonders of the Eternal One. .... YashaYahuw [Isaiah] (YaHuWaH is deliverance) and YirmeYahuw [Jeremiah](YaHuWaH will raise up) are examples of this. YirmeYahuw 15:16 Your Words were found, and I ate them; and Your Words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by Your Name, YaHuWaH, Elohiym of Hosts. (YirmeYahuw = (YaHuWaH will raise up or appoint")  Note: There are also some 99 others of Yisra'el who have "YaHuW" in their names: 72 names that end with "YaHuW", 27 names having "YaHuW" at the beginning, and 1 with it in the middle. ... for a total of 100! (YaHuw - YHW - is the Hebrew spelling)

*Note on the úW/uw : The "waw" in Paleo-Hebrew and Ancient-Hebrew is  pronounced as "uW", it is not just a simple "v" or "w" sound. .... rhymes with "wuu". Dawid Ray " False Name and Mystery Babylon" 

Second challenge: can you find one name - just one - given in the TaNaK that is a derivative of "Yahweh"??  Let the "judge" be the "Blue Scriptures" from ISR ... for some "yahweh people" have their "own" versions which have been liberally "tweaked"!

There will be coming soon a time of great testing, of oppression/tribulation and of trial; we will need to call upon the Name of The Almighty for deliverance. ... and if we have the wrong name - their will be no deliverance.  Now is the time to be sure we know that Name and trust in it. Psalms 9:9-10 YaHuWaH will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble. Those who know Your Name will put their trust in You, for You, YaHuWaH, have not forsaken those who seek You. ... and from Yahuw'el  2:32 It will happen that whosoever shall call on the Name of YaHuWaH  shall be delivered;  for in Mount Tsiyon and in  Yahrushalaiym there shall be those who escape [are delivered], as YaHuWaH  has said, and in the remnant, those whom YaHuWaH shall call.  [Acts 2:21; Romans 10:13]

In First Melakim [Kings] 18, there is the recounting of the apostasy of the first House of Yisra'el led by Iyzebel (see First Melakim [Kings] 17- 21 page) and her false prophets during Ach'ab's reign. (A very prophetic passage being played out in many of the Yisra'el of today, who are calling on the name "yahweh" or other false names - (Ba'al),  - and whose false prophets number at least 850 and who eat at Iysebel's table! cf. Rev. 2:19-24) Perhaps these "850 false prophets should assemble themselves together and see if they can find in the TaNaK [First Testament] just one derivative of "yahweh" ..... it can't be done!  Many of the present day "prophets of yahweh/Ba'al" are also "nico- laitans" (rulers of the layity - their excuse being that they are protecting their flock from the "wolves", however, their real motive is to keep the flock under their control so they can be easily "fleeced"; spiritually, emotionally, doctrinally, and in some cases financially!)

Jacob O. Meyer of the "Assemblies of Yahweh" states that he is 99.99% sure that the Great Name is Yahweh .... but if he finds out differently from some advanced "scholarship", then he will change his position! What an amazing statement! He is denying the Word - the only source where one can find the Great Name! He needs to (as all yahweh believers should) - heed the word that YaHuWaH gave us in YashaYahuw [Isaiah] 2:22 "Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?" and from YirmeYahuw [Jeremiah] 17:5 " Thus says YaHuWaH: Cursed is the man who trust in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart turns away from YaHuWaH!" This is especially true for those seeking to know His Great Name!

There are many more just like him who turn their backs on the only true source  of Wisdom - the Word - where His Name can be proven. There is a host of different "Assemblies", "Congregations", "Houses" of yahweh, etc. All of which rely on "sources" for His Name that are not Scriptural, and lean upon the fact ... "there are so many of us that call upon this name, how can it be wrong". Well, so did all Yisra'el  call upon "Ba'al" in the days of Ach'ab when Iysebel and her false prophets led Yisra'el astray.  What has been - will be!

As for those who say - and they are many - "It really doesn't matter if we say "yahweh" or "YaHuWaH" or any other name, for Elohiym "knows" what we mean and He will accept what we say until He makes His Name known to us." (- but He already has! It's in His Word for those willing to search it out!) But, if this is how you feel, well, why not go back to g_d, l_rd, j_zeus, etc. - for YaHuWaH "knows" what we mean and therefore it is acceptable with Him! I think NOT!

Yes, it's all about Names - the correct ONES
