Using Gods Personal Name

It seems strange to me the resistance by Christians to using Gods personal names. Throughout both the old and new Testaments we are repeatedly admonished to use His name. Yet almost every church or temple Ive ever attended uses God, Lord, or some other title or

generic term when referring to the one true living Creator of the Universe. Indeed, Ive been told by far too many Christians that His name is God! All of the excuses I have been given for this refusal to honour and obey Him are quickly and easily refuted by the very scriptures they claim to follow! As usual, these people dont want to be confused by the facts; they prefer the comfort of tradition no matter how flawed and damaging that tradition might be. The author has chosen to replace the name Yah Veh (YHVH) with Yahuah (Ya-hoo-ah) mostly because we know the pronunciation of Judah (YHVDH) yood - hey - vav - dalet - hey is Yahoo-dah(Yahudah). If we take the dalet out of YHVDH then the spelling is YHVH and the pronunciation is Yahuah (Ya-hoo-ah). At least until the time of Nebechanezzer, Gods personal name was fully rendered in the Bible. However, around the time of Alexander the Great Lord was being used in its stead: the personal Name ... written in the Hebrew Bible with the four consonants YHWH and is referred to as the Tetragrammaton. At least until the destruction of the First Temple in 586 B.C.E. this Name was regularly pronounced with its proper vowels, as is clear from the Lachish Letters, written shortly before that date. But at least by the third century B.C.E. the pronunciation of the name YHWH was avoided and Adonai, the Lord, was substituted for it. (Vol. 7, pg. 680; The Encyclopedia Judaica, The Encyclopedia Judaica Jerusalem. 16 Vols. Keter Publishing House, Jerusalem, Israel, The MacMillian Company, Jerusalem, 1972). By the time of Yah Shua haMashiach (Jesus Christ), anyone correctly pronouncing Gods personal name in public was to be charged with blasphemy and executed. Yah Shua incurred the wrath of the Pharisees by violating this law and performing most of His miracles in His Fathers name (Matthew 4:10 and 22:44; Mark 12:11, 29, 36; Luke 4:8; John 10:25 and many more). His miracles were forbidden because He used Gods personal name and the Mishnah specifically prohibits the use of the name of Yahuah.

And indeed it was Yah Shua Himself who provided the evidence used at His trial to convict Him! When the witnesses could not agree, His trial could not proceed. At that point Yah Shua would have won His case because the witnesses were in disagreement (at least two had to be in agreement for a conviction). The priests now examined Him personally with questions, which He refused to answer. At last, they asked Him the one question He was willing to answer, Are you the messiah? He responded, I AM. (see Exodus 3:14) Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of Yahuah. (Matthew 26:64; Mark 14:62; Luke 22:69). It was immediately after Yah Shua said these words that the high priest then rent his garments because this was the procedure required by the Mishnah at a trial of a blasphemer when Gods personal name was actually uttered! The high priest then said, What further need do we have of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think? And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death. (Mark 14:63-64). Yah Shua had uttered Gods personal name in front of the entire tribunal. They had all witnessed the offence! In the following scriptures all creation is commanded to use Gods personal name: Psalms 66:1-4; 68:32; 79:6; 83:16-18; 86:9; 96:1-8; 99:2; 102:12-22; 117:1;145:21; 148:7-14; Jeremiah 12:16-17, 19-21; 14:16-17; Isaiah 45:23; 56:3-7; Hosea 4:15; Romans 14:11; Philippians 2:9-11 (note that in verse 9 Yah Shua has been given Gods personal name!); Revelation 15:4. Yet Jews, Christians, and Moslems alike still refuse to use Gods personal name! In addition, John 17:11and Hebrews 1:4 confirm that God gave His Son His personal name! This should not be surprising since They (along with the Holy Spirit) are one in the same (echad)! Therefore, Yah Shua had inherited Yahuah as His personal name! So why do miracles happen in the name of Jesus? Thats because all modern miracles are a result of faith, grace, and mercy, and are a part of the renewed covenant (Matthew 9:22, 29; Mark 5:34; 10:52; Luke 7:50; 8:48; 17:19; and Luke 7:50, 18:42). Jesus is an English corruption of the Greek Ieosus from the 1500s (when the letter J was first introduced) and was never used by the Apostles! As noted above, we have all been commanded to use Gods personal name. And failing to do so shall convict us of not loving God. That, in turn, convicts us of lying when we claim to have gratefully accepted the

sacrifice of His Son on the cross. Our ministers, mullahs, pastors, priests, and rabbis who turn us from the use of Gods personal name shall receive a deserved portion of Gods wrath (Jeremiah 6:14-15). But this does not make us guiltless! We must have a personal relationship with Yahuah and use His name just as we want Him to use ours! We must seek knowledge of our Lord and use it to develop our relationship with Him. Though others may try to mislead us, we must at least seek the truth. Hallalu Yahuah and blessed be He.
