I AM YAHUAH!
This is my Name from Everlasting to Everlasting
יהוה
I AM YAHUAH – This is My name from time everlasting! The Eternal Father is calling His people to the ostentatious significance of restoring His set-apart name “YAHUAH” (#3068 – יהוה). It also applies to the name of His Son “YAHUSHA” (H#3091 – יהושׁע) haMashiach (the Messiah), wherever either are referred to in Scripture as the “Lord God, Adoni, and Jesus Christ.” Only then will the nations of earth know that He is the supreme Alahim/Elohim (sovereign).
The Rabbinical Pharisees (Jews), Romans, and Greeks, over the last 2,000 years, have managed to change the correct and original set-apart name of the Eternal Father over 7,000 times throughout the pages of the Kadosh (sacred) Scripture. Additionally, His Son, our Messiah’s name has been changed 981 times in the Brit Hadasha (N.T.). As a result, this has caused all the world to worship a replacement or false deity, and a watered-down knowledge of this Supremely Divine duo. How did this occur? It was accomplished by way of a calculated attack on the translations of Scripture as we know them.
These lies have been sustained on the wings of tradition. They have served well to hide YAHUAH’S magnificent set-apart name and how it relates prophetically to His promised one true Son, our Messiah. For the real Messiah was to come in His Father’s Kadosh (sacred) NAME and teach exclusively from the Tanakh (O.T.) and to fulfill all that pertained to Him. In its entirety, it contains the eternal Torah Laws, Statutes of Time, Judgments, and the Temple services. It is these that bear witness of YAHUSHA haMashiach, for, in this regard, the Eternal Father’s compassionate love was to be manifest.
In Vain They Worship Me
Every time we read in our English Scripture translation the name for our Eternal Father as “Lord,” in reality, it should say YAHUAH (#3068 יהוה). The word “Lord” is a replacement term, and only carries the generic meaning and title of “master,” and can not make a distinction between two or more entities. Satan and all the mythical gods of the heathen are also called “Lord” and “master.” Brilliantly, a foundational testimony is also borne out by the very names of most of the patriarchs, prophets, and authors of Scripture. These names announce “YAHUAH” as Elohim/Alahim’s correct Kadosh name, all the while identifying their preordained divine and prophetic calling.
Vocalized Hebrew Names
Names are always to be distinctly translated, especially Hebrew names, as they manifest contextual significance to the promise of salvation. While Scriptural text is transliterated to bring concepts between languages into harmony, Hebrew names were designed to retain their vocalized sound, no matter how each language spelled them. They are never to be transliterated to something that sounds altogether different. Here are several examples from the Tanakh (O.T.) illustrating that the sound of the names of these called leaders of Yasharal (Israel) carries a message of YAHUAH, the MOST HIGH, to His people. Removing the vocalized sound and replacing it with anything else, wholly eliminates the connection to the ETERNAL FATHER.
Joshua – Real name is YAHUsha (H#3091 – יהושׁע) = “YAHUAH saves by way of the Lamb”
Isaiah – Real name is YeshaYAHU (H#3470 – ישׁעיהו) = “Salvation is YAHUAH”
Jonathan – Real name is YAHUnathan (H#3129 – ויונתן) = “YAHUAH has given”
Jeremiah – Real name is YirmeYAHU (H#3414 – ירמיהו)= “The resurrection/rising is YAHUAH”
Ezekiel – Real name is YAHchezq’AL (H#3168 – יחזקאל) = “YAHUAH is a righteous Alohim”
Daniel – Real name is Dani’AL (H#1840 – דניאל) = “The decision is Alohim’s”
Obadiah – Real name is ObadYAHU (H#5662 – עבדיהו) = “The servant of YAHUAH”
Zephaniah – Real name is TsphanYAHU (H#6846 – צפניהו) = “The secret is YAHUAH”
Zechariah – Real name is ZacharYAHU (H#2148 – זכריהו)= “YAHUAH remembers”
Nehemiah – Real name is NechemYAH (H#5166 – נחמיה) = “Consoled by YAHUAH”
One might ask where this problem of name changing originated, and the answer may surprise you. It began in Yasharal (Israel)! It started before the first century A.D. The Hebrew word “Adonai” does exist in Scripture as a sign of respect, meaning “master, sir, or my lord.” Yet, this word was never intended to replace the most sacred name of YAHUAH or His Son.
Rabbinical Jewish Fables
Incredibly, with all this said, the Rabbinical Pharisaical Yahudim (Jews) from Yarushalom (Jerusalem) proactively have for thousands of years cultivated a Babylonian, yet Jewish fable. They teach their Hebrew language students that while reading Scripture, “every time they come to the Tetragrammaton (name of the Eternal)“יהוה” (YAHUAH), they are to replace it with the word ‘Adonai.’” Strikingly, the English translation for “Adonai” is “THE LORD,” or Babylonian/Greek pagan god named Adonai, Adonis, and Adon. Is this a mere coincidence?
Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. Titus 1:14
Rabbinical Pharisee Lie
Today, each Rabbinical (Babylonian Talmud Pharisee) professor continues to teach their naive students that this practice is done to ensure that they never take YAHUAH’S name in vain. So, the idea is perpetuated that by not actually saying the real name out loud, they will never break the third commandment.
Yet stunningly, this is contrary to the explicit direction of YAHUAH ALAHIM, the ETERNAL FATHER, who requires His people to call on His specific divine vocalized and spelled out NAME. Changing His name, and never vocalizing the original, is a man-made and witty invention, which has become the convention. This tradition started by the Rabbi’s has caused all to oppose and stand in conflict with the Eternal Father. This is very much like the first lie in Eden, it discounts and places in question, the desire of the Most High for all to call upon His divine name. Thus, the world has been sold the methodology of having the appearance of truth but denying its power, as they call upon and even worship foreign and pagan gods vainly.
This Rabbinical tradition has been perpetuated throughout most of the modern Scripture translations. The world’s Bible translations have all been compelled to comply with the replacement terminology of names, continually feeding unsuspecting humanity, a lie. You can verify this for yourself with the help of a Hebrew dictionary/concordance. This seemingly small name removal allows for Satan to be worshiped as Sovereign LORD and MASTER of the Universe and undermines all true worship of our Creator YAHUAH ALAHIM.
“. . . and in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.” MatithYAHU (Matthew) 15:9
“Remember this, the adversary has defamed YAHUAH יהוה, and the foolish (wicked) people despise His NAME.” Tehillim (Psalms) 74:17
Crisis of Truth
Name changing in Scripture is a crisis of TRUTH and a large stone in the wall of replacement theology. Even Wikipedia weighs in, identifying that by worshiping in the name “Adonai or the Lord,” both references give our worship to another god. It refers to one who is none other than the Babylonian god “Adonis.” Strikingly, this is also an alternate name for Tammuz, the sun god, who also stands as the representative of Satan. Besides, “Adonai/Lord” is not a title for our Eternal Father and Creator, as many have erroneously believed, but merely a pagan name for Baal and Satan. Through the Latin influence, it has been translated as “Lord” in all the English Scripture translations. Folks, the only one laughing is SATAN. You must obligate yourself to research this subject and commit to Yahuah Alahim alone, to walk in His truth, as it is revealed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adonis.
There is also historical documentation on how the Messiah’s name was proactively corrupted. And yes, this is hard to take in as well, but if you are committed to seeking the truth and obeying it, then a change of terms may be on your immediate horizon. You must be proactive on this subject, for Yahuah Alahim is calling His obedient set-apart followers to WAKE UP! On that coming great day, only those who have done their due-diligence will awake from their slumber with the lamps full of oil, trimmed, and burning.
“Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of the shamayim; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of the shamayim.” MatithYAHU (Matthew) 5:19
Reasons Why it Mattersi-am-yahuah
It is natural at first consideration to question, why does it matter what we call the Eternal Father, as He knows with whom we refer? Does the Eternal Father and Son care if I continue using Rabbinical Pharisee, Greek, or Roman manufactured replacement terms of “Adoni,” “Lord God and Jesus Christ?” According to His purposes, He desires to restore His divine TRUTHS, that His people may be victorious unto salvation.
Take a few moments to discover below what Scripture declares on this subject that has been in crisis for thousands of years. Today is your opportunity to be amazed by the Scriptural evidence and turn it all around.
The Eternal Father has asked that we call Him by His authentic and original name, and not by an improvised title or the name of a fictional god. He is disgusted by the replacement terms as in “the Lord, God, Adoni, or a pagan superhero of antiquity.

Scripture’s Authoritative Question and Answer
The question requires a NAME:
WHO has ascended into the shamayim (heaven), or descended? WHO has gathered the wind in His fists? WHO has bound the waters in a garment? WHO has established all the ends of the earth? WHAT IS HIS NAME, AND WHAT IS HIS SON’S NAME, IF YOU KNOW? Mashali (Proverbs) 30:4
The answer provides the NAME:
Name of the Father
For behold, HE WHO forms mountains, and creates the wind; WHO declares to man what His thought is; and fashions the morning LIGHT out of darkness, and walks above the high places of the earth— YAHUAH (H#3068 – יהוה) ALAHIM OF APPOINTED TIMES, IS HIS NAME. Amos 4:13
Name of the Son
And He showed me YAHUSHA (H#3091 – יהושׁע), the high priest standing before the angel of YAHUAH, and Satan standing at His right hand to resist Him. ZachariYAH (Zechariah) 3:1
YAHUSHA haMashiach Announced by Name
It is no secret that throughout Scripture, profound spiritual truths are portrayed through its detailed record of real-life illustrations. For example, in YeshaYAHU (Isaiah) chapter 14, verses 1-23, the reference begins describing the King of Babylon but is then transformed into a metaphor and parable for Hillel (H#1966 – הילל – Satan/Lucifer). This depicts his stunning proclamation about gaining dominion over all the earth and receiving the worship due Yahuah Alahim. These verses reveal the heart and intent of Satan to set His throne above YAHUAH Alahim by way of a new Babylonian worship assembly rhythm in opposition to the pre-ordained TIME-MEASURING calendar revealed by the east-west flow of the trinity of LIGHTS (sun, full moon, and stars).
So it should come as no surprise then, as presented in the 3rd and 6th chapter of ZachariYAH, that YAHUSHA, YAHUAH’S RIGHTEOUS SON, is our Messiah and Melchizedek High Priest, presented in metaphor and prophetic parable format, and specifically by NAME. These verses reveal the Messiah’s place of honor, crowned as ruler and judge over all creation. He alone was to come to earth as a man, and together with His FATHER, was to provide THE ONLY WAY OF SALVATION through the real temple, not made with human hands. This verse may be the most profound description of our Messiah in the Tanakh (O.T.) even though it is somewhat camouflaged within the story-line of another high priest and translated with the use of a letter “J” that does not exist in Hebrew.
Name of the Son
“Then take of silver and gold, and make crowns and place them upon the head of YAHUSHA (H#3091 – יהושׁע), YAHU-ZADOK (YAHUAH’S RIGHTEOUS) SON, THE MESSIAH, THE MELCHIZEDEK HIGH PRIEST, THE GREAT. And you shall speak concerning HIM, to declare “THUS SAYS YAHUAH OF APPOINTED TIMES, saying:
‘Behold, a MAN, THE BRANCH, shall come forth, and for the sake of HIS NAME, HE shall grow up and establish the first and last temple of YAHUAH. But by HIMSELF, HE shall establish the first and last temple of YAHUAH. And HE shall magnify it with divine splendor and majesty, and shall abide and rule according to HIS FULL MOON (#3677 keceh כסא – full moon) seat of authority. And HE shall be the MESSIAH, THE MELCHIZEDEK HIGH PRIEST according to HIS FULL MOON SEAT OF AUTHORITY. And the COUNSEL OF SHALOM (peace and prosperity) shall be established between the two [YAHUSHA and the Full Moon as New Moon].” ZachariYAH (Zechariah) 6:11-13 (New Restored Hebrew Interlinear Text) (Take a moment to compare this to the KJV)
Full Moon, Icon of our Messiah
These verses reveal a nearly lost and forgotten reality that our Messiah is intrinsically linked to the full moon as the genuine and original New Moon to accurately synchronize ALL TRUE SACRED WORSHIP ASSEMBLIES to the shamayim (heavenly) clock. ALL the work of the Messiah is EVENT related, and the full moon as the original start of the lunar month was ordained to synchronize those EVENTS to precise and prophetic moments in TIME. So it appears that all along, the full moon as the New Moon has been the icon of our Messiah. This dual revelation of both HIS NAME and His FULL MOON, as found in the original Hebrew text, are huge puzzle pieces for the restoration of YAHUAH’S TRUTHS. All this is made plain for His obedient people in preparation for His soon return and up-coming kingdom government.
But most striking of all, both verses found in ZachariYAH (Zechariah) 3:1, and 6:11, unveil before our eyes, with two witnesses, the TRUE Kadosh (sacred) NAME of our long promised REDEEMER, as YAHUSHA haMashiach (the Messiah). He alone is YAH-ZADOK (YAHUAH’S RIGHTEOUS), SON. For in striking contrast, we know that among mankind, “There is no other name under the shamayim (heaven), whereby we must be saved.” P’yilut Hashaliachim (Acts) 4:12
The Importance of Utilizing the Set-Apart Names
You would not be human if you did not question the necessity of using the original and authentic Kadosh name of YAHUAH and YAHUSHA exclusively. And you are in good company, as we were all trained to utilized and trust in the replacement names. But the last call to come out of Babylon, for the END TIME set-apart people, must include the restoring of the original and authentic sacred names. Babylon represents rebellion to the Most High, the mixture of truth with error, creating chaos and corruption.
The Most High, YAHUAH Alahim continues to lead those ever upward, who seek to follow Him with all their hearts. And although all the world has wandered after the BEAST of Revelation, there will remain a remnant few, who will escape the punishment meted out to those who receive its mark. These are they who awaken and obey explicitly in two areas, and by extension, obey in all.
For herein is the shalom (peace)of the righteous, who 1) keep the Torah Law and have the 2) Testimony of Yahusha. Hagilu Naton Alahim (Revelation) 14:12
“But when the fullness of the time was come, Alahim sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the TORAH LAW, to redeem them that were under the TORAH LAW, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” Galatians 4:4-5
Note that the Messiah was made under the Torah Law, to redeem them that continue to honor it.
Forward Movement on the Pathway
The way I see it, the path of TRUTH and GRACE remain in place. Each of us can claim one portion of the pathway, using squatter’s rights to stake out our doctrinal real estate. But that is missing the point. The purpose of the pathway was designed to provide progressive growth, a moving toward a more excellent and still greater knowledge of the truth as it is in our Messiah and the Eternal Father. For example, a man who loves his wife and children after being away at war; he doesn’t just decide that his honorable discharge is all the further he will move toward home. No, he must go to the airport, board the plane, and arrive in his home town. Then he must continue to advance homeward in His enthusiastic joy of seeing them again. He doesn’t see this as a burden, but as joyous and with great anticipation. This is how the true believer feels. They want to get as close to Yahuah and Yahusha and the truth, as possible. Remaining on the path in a proactive and forward motion is a lifetime experience. No one who sits down assuming squatters’ rights, will ever arrive at a destination beyond that point. Organized “Christian” churches are well known for creating a creed of beliefs that tend toward producing squatters rights, and thereby short circuits their congregation’s thirst for truth and movement forward. Add to this a Rabbi, a presumed modern prophet, or Reformer, and it is next to impossible for these to have ears to hear the Ruach’s (presence, power, promise of Yahuah) still small voice guiding them further still.
Yahuah does not expect a man without legs to compete in a 100-yard sprint. But as far as a person can learn the truth, that person is accountable for seeking, knowing, and sharing it.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being Kohenim (Priests) for Me. Because you have forgotten the Torah of your Alahim, I also will forget your children. HoshaYAH (Hosea) 4:6
YAHUAH would not require the same accountability from a mentally challenged individual as from one with full mental competence. But for those who know to do good, but refuse, or use excuses like closing their eyes or plugging their ears:
Therefore to him that knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin. James 4:17
Called to a Higher Standard
All of us must consider the ramifications of each decision we make. We are being called to a higher standard today as we near our Messiah’s Second Coming, than the religious denominations and their leaders that have come before us. Let us not be as a dog that returns to its vomit. YAHUAH is calling those who will be obedient out of all religious organizations. It is no different than drawing a line in the sand and saying, “who is for me and who is against me.” The choice belongs to you, but only because Yahuah provided the choice through His Son.
Is this unfair and judgmental? Some will accuse of this, but YAHUAH defines things in black and white and with much compassion for ignorance.
Remember, the only Scriptures YAHUSHA haMashiach (the Messiah) and His disciples read and studied from was the Hebrew Torah (first five books of Mosheh), the Tanakh (entire O.T.), and the Nevium (writings). Their study was in the Hebrew Scriptures and not what we call the New Testament (translated from Greek). At the time of our Messiah, Hebrew was the primary language among the Jews, not Greek. Their names were Hebrew, as was their very culture. Thus, to be YAHUSHA’S faithful followers, anciently as well as now, means that we are to read what He read, we must believe what He believed. And in contrast to the modern Rabbinical Pharisees (Jews), we must accept YAHUSHA as our Messiah, because He alone was the fulfillment of the Torah/Tanakh prophecies.
Our Messiah is the Beginning of Torah Prophecies and Not the End
Contrary to popular understanding, it is the reality of the Messiah that gives life to the Torah/Tanakh. The reverse is equally valid as in them we recognize the true Messiah by NAME and by the appointed Kadosh FULL NEW MOON TIME. At that time, the sacred name of YAHUAH Alahim had not yet been overwritten in Scripture with the Latin terms “Lord God.” And it was not until the council of Nicaea (c. C.E. 321-325) that the actual name of the Messiah was replaced in the Brit Hadasha (N.T.), with the name “Jesus Christ.”
Our Well-groomed Paradigms Flawed
It is natural to compare new LIGHT with a standard of our current paradigms. I know, because I did that for 50 years. Shocking as it may be, our well-groomed and individual paradigms can be seriously flawed even though it may represent hundreds or even thousands of years of denominational thought and practice. Then I had an awakening!
Yahuah called me to turn over every doctrinal stone and prove each from Scripture alone. I was to use the weight of evidence and not a single verse or paradigm of a so-called modern-day “prophet” or church creed. As I did this, I discovered the truth resides in the original Hebrew text, minus the vowel points. These vowel points were non-existent before the twelfth century A.D when the Mazorites under the direction of Rabbinical Pharisees added them to bring all the world under their own unity of thought. Only then was I set free from many erroneous beliefs that had held me captive. By this, I mean that some false doctrines kept me from knowing the truth or being willing to look at new light.
Is it Possible to Come Far Enough?
No doubt, I will continue to discover more areas that require change. It is how we are to grow deeper rooted in truth and knowledge of YAHUAH and HIS SON. Along this pathway, everyone is at a different place based upon many factors such as denominational paradigms, Scriptural foundation, study time, personal ability, and years in the word, etc. But the key to all of this is in remaining steadfast on the path and not merely declaring, “Yahuah, I’ve come far enough.”
All the apparent conflict found among the masses of professed believers, is because they continue walking the broad road of Rabbinical Pharisee Jewish fables and commandments of men (Titus 1:14), who mix Egyptian, Babylonian Oral Traditions, and Roman doctrine with those of Scripture. The modern Rabbinical Pharisee (Jews) have not only replaced the set-apart name of YAHUAH in their Torah but they have systematically denied the Messiah, and fully corrupted their original calendar. It is now based upon a complete 180-degree reversal of time reckoning from that of Scripture. This change from the original took place over 400 years, between the 1st and 4th centuries A.D. Today, the modern Jewish calendar and Feast Days are off by a minimum of 2 weeks to a maximum of 1.5 months on any given year. And the Rabbinical Pharisee Jewish Saturday Sabbath is only a Roman calendar myth.
For more info on Yahuah’s true and original seventh-day Sabbath, refer to the article: Announcing an Official Paradigm Shift.
Alahim/Elohim – Name or Title?
From my research, I have found that Alahim/Elohim (God) is a plural term that represents our CREATOR & REDEEMER, the FATHER and SON duo deserving of our praise andi-am-yahuah worship. It is Scripture’s identifying title of introduction to YAHUAH and YAHUSHA, provided in Genesis 1:1. Alahim is applied to Yahuah in the same way as the title Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Dr., designate status, but is a plural term referring to both the Father and Son.
Case in point. You may recall the famous exchange that took place on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, Africa, in 1871, when Henry Morton Stanley finally found the man he was seeking and declared, “Doctor“ Livingston, I presume.” The term “Dr.” was NOT his Name, as it is used as a title for countless other folks, rendering it generic in nature. Instead, the name David Livingston clarifies the specific Dr. who went to Africa as an Explorer/Missionary. Titles identify groups, but not specifics, while names define specifics and not groups. In contrast, Scripture identifies YAHUAH and YAHUSHA as the specific distinguished names of our Creator and His Son, who bear the first plural TITLE of “Alahim/Elohim (God).”
Here are two inspirational quotes by Dr. David Livingston:
“I am prepared to go anywhere, provided it be forward.”
“If you have men who will only come if they know there is a good road, I don’t want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all.”
To which God Do You Refer?
There are some who have believed that if a word was ever used by the pagans then we cannot use it, as in the case of Alahim/Elohim.
“This issue hinges on one pivotal question: who used the title Alahim/Elohim first, the Hebrews who spoke the language of Hebrew, or the Canaanites who spoke a related Semitic tongue?” http://www.yrm.org/elohim-proper-pagan.htm
From this one sentence, there is evidence that pagan gods were commonly referred to as Alahim/Elohim (god). For it carried a generic concept of one deserving of worship. But when the specific names of the particular gods are applied in addition to Alahim, it is then that we can recognize who that Alahim (god) is referring to. While we have been conditioned to believe that the term god is referring to our Creator, it simply was not so among all pagan nations. When they heard the term “god/Elohim,” it meant god Baal, god Marduk, god Dagon, or god Adonai, etc. So we find that merely using the term “god” is incorrect. But also solely using Elohim or Alahim in prayer or praise is not sufficient to distinguish who we worship.
You may be tempted to say, “well, I think ‘God’ knows who I mean,” and that is all I need.” But this response takes us back to the idea of “knowing to do good and not doing it.” For Yahuah wants to hear humankind call Him by His actual name! Might this even be a test of servant-hood?
I Am Yahuah – This is my Name from Time Everlasting
For all those seeking obedience to the ETERNAL FATHER, He has declared through the weight of evidence in Scripture that we are to call upon His specific set-apart NAME, YAHUAH ALAHIM. Stunningly, this same set-apart name is the very framework of our Messiah’s name. For He did not come in the name of the mere title Alahim, or an altogether different name such as the replacement name. The name of “Jesus Christ,” as has been falsely placed in our Scripture translations, carries no Hebrew meaning, other than “the horse.” Instead, He came in the most critically important and majestic NAME of His Father “YAHUAH יהוה.” The only difference is the added “S” after the U to complete the sound of His name YAHUSHA יהושׁה.
I [YAHUSHA] am come in my Father’s name [YAHUAH], and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name [JESUS CHRIST], him ye will receive. YAHUchanon (John) 5:43
YAHUSHA answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. YAHUchanon (John) 10:25
For I say unto you, you shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, barakah (blessed) is he that comes in the name of YAHUAH. MatithYAHU (Matthew) 23:39
In His Father’s Name
The correct name of YAHUAH is multi-dimensional! It greatly mattered to YAHUSHA, our Messiah! So by extension, this should matter much to all of the Messiah’s obedient followers. For the “SHA” sound in “YAHUSHA” describes the intrinsic promise from Eden that YAHUAH, the Eternal Father, would SAVE humanity by way of the LAMB. It was the Messiah alone who would lay down His life as the PROMISED LAMB.” The “SHA” (שׁה) means LAMB! Salvation is only possible by way of the promised LAMB. And not just any LAMB, His name testifies that He is the LAMB of YAHUAH יהוה, all within His set-apart name YAHUSHA יהושׁה.
“NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER THE SHAMAYIM (heaven), GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE CAN BE SAVED!” P’yilut Hashaliachim (Acts) 4:12
So why is it so difficult to accept the actual SET-APART NAMES of YAHUAH and YAHUSHA, who alone are deserving of worship? Our frame of reference is faulty because our paradigms were corrupted. We have all been conditioned to believe the replacement terminology of Lord, Adoni, and Jesus Christ. FOLKS, THESE TERMS ARE NOT TRANSLATION WORD OPTIONS BUT ARE IN FACT PAGAN “GOD” SUBSTITUTES. Next, these have been, proactively and consistently printed in our English Scriptures, to wholly replace the authentic and original names of the Eternal Father and Son. Consequently, these pagan terms have no business being utilized for prayer, praise, or worship of the Eternal Father and Son. Period!
Either Alahim or Elohim are the correct term to use in combination with YAHUAH and YAHUSHA, as it designates which Alahim (God). I might add that our compassionate Eternal Father does not hold this against anyone who simply does not know. Instead, it is only those who are accountable, who do know, or have been given ample opportunity to both know and understand.
Why are the Father and Son’s Names So Important?
You may be thinking, “What’s the big deal as He knows my heart?” Does the Eternal Father and Son care if I continue using the Roman manufactured names or Rabbinical Pharisee Jewish traditional replacements? Now that you know what Scripture declares on this subject, take it to YAHUAH and YAHUSHA in prayer. Today is your opportunity to turn this buried treasure into a treasure trove that changes lives.
For only those who LOVE the Eternal Father and Son unto Salvation, will STOP desecrating their Kadosh (set-apart) NAMES, and STOP BREAKING the THIRD COMMANDMENT found in Shemot (Exodus) 20:7 and Devarim (Deuteronomy) 5:11. We take His name in vain when we: 1) Claim to be His obedient followers, yet reject or dishonor His correct Kadosh name; 2) Pretend to be one of His, yet live a life that is out of harmony with His will.
Paradigm Shift in Names
A paradigm shift is necessary, but in name only, for our Savior, YAHUSHA, the Messiah, did walk this earth. Together with His Father, YAHUAH and YAHUSHA created all things. Four thousand years later, the creative Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (YAHchanan John 1:1). Indeed, He called the twelve and patiently instructed them in righteousness. His arms were outstretched to heal the sick and feed poor and the 5,000 with five loaves and two fishes. He willingly laid down His life for all humanity, as a demonstration of His eternal love for His children. His Father’s will He followed in joy and pain. Defeating death, Yahusha rose again in power and exaltation. His magnificent work on behalf of humankind continues today in His sanctified temple courts above.
Soon, He will declare, “IT IS FINISHED,” ending His Zadok (righteous) Kohenim (priestly) work of forgiveness forever by laying down the smoking censer. He will return the second time to complete the prophetic mechanism called the plan of salvation. It shall be worked out in real-time according to His Kadosh (set-apart) timeline of His seven prophetic appointed Feast Days. These Feast Days prophetically encompass the entire 7,000 years until His people are restored, and the earth is created new.
Assurance of Salvation
Our salvation is assured as we can discern the truth from error by His Ruach (Yahuah’s Presence), and walk according to it. He reveals this to us no matter your age or how long you have been entrenched in believing the lie. It is only in finding truth that the heart that desires it above houses, land, money, or popularity, will humble themselves and seek YAHUAH’S face for forgiveness. For there is no custom or tradition on the face of this earth, no matter how deeply seated, that is worth losing our salvation over. No one said it would be easy either. For every new truth, we come to accept, by its very design of cause and effect, predisposes that we must give up a previously held belief, and this can be downright painful at times. The Messiah says:
I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My seat of power, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His seat of power. Hagilu Natan Alahim (Revelation) 3:18
The Formula from the Beginning
No one who seeks an everlasting home beyond the pearly gates will be left untouched by the controversy over truth and error. All have been naked, yet all must be clothed with YAHUSHA’S RIGHTEOUSNESS. It is the formula from the beginning in Eden when the first lamb (שׂה-sha) was slain, and the Creator placed the white blood-stained woolen skins upon our first parents. For this was the SIGN of the promise of our Messiah. For it is His eternal robes of righteousness that cover His obedient followers. (Genesis 3:21).
All have sinned, but YAHUSHA, our Messiah and promised LAMB, has made provision for each person who humbly asks. The choice is yours. We are entering into the refining time. Each of us must release our grip on all the things of this world that are not pure gold, tried, and proven to be of eternal weight.
YAHUAH prosper you and guard you;
YAHUAH make His face shine upon you, and show favor to you;
YAHUAH lift-up His countenance upon you, and give you shalom (peace).
Thus I shall put My NAME [YAHUAH Alahim] upon the children of Yasharal,
And I, Myself, shall honor them.
B’midvar (Numbers) 6:24-27
