"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations*, baptizing them in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: (Matthew 28:19. [note] *for the purpose of finding Israel within those nations- Mat. 15:24) The Bible tells us that in regarding the total aspect of "God", that name is collectively Yahweh Elohim. As referenced in our web page article entitled "God's Name" we know that "Yahweh"comes from the Hebrew root word "Havah" meaning "to exist, to breathe, to be", and that "Elohim" is a plural Hebrew word meaning "Higher Powers". Yahweh Elohim can closely be translated into English as "Self emanating existence (or breath) of higher powers". Yet we are encouraged within the Scriptures to more closely know the triune attributes of Yahweh Elohim in a personal way. Therefore His Word to men reveals that Elohim as becoming the Father has a name, Elohim as becoming the Son has a name, and Elohim as becoming the Holy Spirit has a name. It may be correctly noted that there are many "sub-names" attached to triune Elohim throughout the Bible text, but for purposes of our grasping the basic mission of Elohim's work to redeem Adam's family to eternal life, we find three major identifications (names) of "God" that the believer should be acquainted with. The Name of the Father (Symbol of Authority) "The Right Hand" YAH The tenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet spelled in English as "YOD", has the vocal power of our letter "Y". This letter is vocalized as "YAH"(short "a"). This is the Name of the Father. This letter is the form of an authoritative right hand. It is also the most common hand of power. In the long esteemed tradition of our Saxon people, if you raise your right hand up in front of you at a 45 degree angle as if to salute a superior, you will see the rudimentary shape of the letter "Yod". This letter and a reference showing it's origin are pictured below.
Psalm 68:4,5 declares the Father's Name! "Sing unto God, sing praises to His name: extol Him that rideth upon the heavens by His name JAH, and rejoice before Him. A FATHER OF THE FATHERLESS, and a judge of the widows, is God in His holy habitation." (Ps.68:4,5)
The "j" is an archaic "j" with the sound of "Y" as we know with the exclamation "Hallelujah"! Hail YAH ! Strong's Concordance has this word at Greek reference #239 to mean "praise ye Jah, an adoring exclamation."
The Father (YAH/Right Hand) exalts the Son "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;Being made so much better than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said He at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and He shall be to me a Son? ...... But to which of the angels said He at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?" (Heb.1:1-5;13)
"This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. (Acts 2:32,33)
The Right Hand and the Father are Right-eousness of Yahweh Elohim "According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness." (Psalm 48:10) Christ says -- "O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them." (Jn.17:25)
Father Yah, the Right Hand of Elohim has planted His vineyard in the Earth " (Christ says)...I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit." (John 15:1,2)
"Then came His disciples, and said unto Him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? But He answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up." (Mat.15:12,13)
"Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; And the vineyard which thy Right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself." (Psalm 80:14,15)
Baal worshipping mistranslations of the Bible hide praises to Yah our Father the Authority (right hand) of Yahweh Elohim. There is a distinction between the names Yahweh and Yah used in the Scriptures but translated as "The Lord" (Baal) in both cases. Example: Psalm 135:1 in the King James Version reads, "Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD." In the Hebrew text this verse reads, "Praise ye YAH. Praise ye the name of Yahweh; praise him, O ye servants of Yahweh." The Bible student can verify this with Strong's Concordance. More verses in the Psalms where we are specifically told to "Praise Yah" but which carry the mistranslation "Praise ye the Lord" include Psalms 104:35; 105:45; 106:48; 111:1; 112:1; 113:9; 116:19; plus 13 others. In the Book of Revelation the mention to "Praise Yah" remains as the Greek word "Alleluia" in chapter 19:1;3;4;6 obscuring the true intent of recognizing the Right Hand Father Authority of Yahweh Elohim. Some verses at times associate "Yahweh" with the Father which is warranted since Yah IS OF Yahweh as one encompasses the other. However, a higher understanding of the triune nature of Elohim is drawn with a distinct recognition between the Scriptural applications of the names Yahweh (God's Existence) and YAH the Father/Right Hand/Authority attribute of Yahweh Elohim.
JESUS CHRIST (YAH-SHUA) Having previously discussed the divinity of Jesus Christ we need not debate the issue in this part of the essay. We have also read the Scriptures of Matthew 16:13 -17 in Part II of this topic where the title "Christ" has become a name as well. History has submitted to the will of Yahweh concerning the name "Christ" which formally was a title only. (Christos is Greek for "Anointed") For over 2000 years our Savior has indeed been called "Jesus Christ" by the Saxon people. Let's concern ourselves here with the debate among Kingdom believers as to whether the proper addition to the name "Christ" should be the Son Jesus (English) or the Son Yahshua (Hebrew). "But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of Yahweh appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of Yahweh by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of Yahweh had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called His name JESUS." (Mat.1:20-25)
"For He received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to Him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." (2 Peter 1:17)
Origin and definition of the name "Jesus" There is a school of thought among some Kingdom Christians who discover their true heritage of physical Israel that by changing many words of their vocabulary from English to Hebrew it will some how add a degree of "holiness" to their lives. This attempt may be well intended, but it aims the truth seeker in the wrong direction. Not one of us is going to fool Yahweh Almighty that by substituting words for obedience we will achieve some sort of "spiritual greatness". Most of the ministries that promote the verbal Hebrewized flowering of meetings with words such as "Shabat", "Mawsheach", "Yisrael",etc. are usually so loaded with mamzer congregations, following lunar Talmudic days, combined with Babylonian Rabbinic customs, that it's obvious that they are not true Israel folk in the first place. Except where it is a flagrant violation of the Bible languages involved, it is perfectly fine for present Christian Israel to both speak and use their English language. ("The Lord" means Baal and it is thus a gross blasphemy to apply it to Yahweh. "Christ" simply means Anointed or Messiah and doesn't need replaced with "Mawsheach".) You, dear Christian, were born in America and are certainly permitted by Yahweh to speak the language of your land. In fact, if we are looking for a Biblical position, using English over Hebrew would probably be preferable at this period in the history of our people. Speaking to a rebellious Israel of the latter days (America) Yahweh said that His warning would be made clear to them in a language other than Hebrew. "For with stammering lips and another tongue will He speak to this people." (Isa.28:11) This is a promise of His! Since Yahweh Himself has ordained another language for His latter day people other than Hebrew (as He also promised a new land) why would we want to try to use a language that Yahweh is not speaking through today? The Edomites have stolen the Hebrew language and butchered it with Yiddish. Let it go and let them have it. The Bible tell us that we are in a new land with "another tongue", which "changed language" further proves we are Israel with the new name of "Christians" promised in Isaiah 62:2, Numbers 6:27, Hebrews 11:26. Knowing that there have been three valid and permissible languages that dominantly carried God's Word also testifies to the fact that "two and three witness establish a truth". (Mat.18:16; II Cor.13:1) These three witness languages used to convey the Bible message to men have been Hebrew, Greek, and English. Therefore it is perfectly fine to refer to our Savior as JESUS in the English language of latter day Israel. Furthermore, "Jesus" does not come from "Zeus" another bogus claim based upon incompetent research. We'll get to that shortly. The Westminster Dictionary of the Bible, 1944 edition, page 301 has this definition of the name Jesus: "Jesus (Je-zus) Lat. from Grk. Iesuos, which is Hebrew Jeshua, a late form of Jehoshua or Joshua {Jehovah (YHVH) is salvation)". Other language references show the same as above. "Jesus" is merely an English translation of the Greek name IESOUS, which itself is a translation from Yehshua (or Yahshua), salvation of Yahweh. The Greek spelling of Jesus, IESOUS, contains these Greek letters >> I H C O Y C << pronounced YAY-SUS. The Greeks used letters of their alphabet as numbers. The numerical value of the name I H C O Y C is 888, and is highly significant further revealing that IESOUS/JESUS is a proper name of our Savior King. The number "8" is the number of "a new week" and is the Biblical number of resurrection. Christ's arrival to deal with the completeness of our salvation is that of His "coming two times". His first arrival as Jesus was in order to be crucified for our sins and His second arrival is to bring in the fullness of His Earthly Kingdom and deal with the nations.(Rev.19:15,16) Two times 888 = 1776 the number of His Kingdom in prophetic time. It is in America where Bible prophecy will be played out, not in the middle east. "JESUS" DOES NOT MEAN "ZEUS" Another mistaken supposition claimed by those who wish to remain only with the Hebrew language discarding the Greek and English (Yashua only, and never Jesus) is the idea that the word "Jesus" was derived from the Greek god "Zeus" and actually refers to Zeus. This has been declared solely on the premise that "Zeus" sounds like the last syllable in Jesus' name Je --- SUS. Not only is such a belief NOT supported in any language or historical reference book anywhere, the rationale itself is nonsensical. Mimicking vocal sounds from one language to another has absolutely nothing to do with referencing word origins. It may or may not apply depending on the root word. If that is the case then the Psalms must be songs only about ALMS; swine must have something to do with WINE; supper must only be eaten in UPPER rooms; and the Apostle Paul came from Pul (an African country) because "Paul" sounds like "Pul". The list could go on as far as our imagination would take us. But perhaps the most factual insight relating to this discussion is that there was no Greek god named or pronounced "Zeus" before or during the time the New Testament was written! The Greek god we now call Zeus, during the first century Greek period was spelled and known to the Greeks by their letters "Delta - Iota - Sigma". This "god" was pronounced "DEECE" ..... never ZEUS. If our Savior's name in Greek was copied from the Greek main god, then His named would now be JEDEECE not JESUS . There is no "D"in Jesus' name. Strong's Exhaustive Concordance shows the name Zeus at reference # 2203 and says it is uncertain of the origin of this modern appellation. Strong's does however show under the word "Zeus", the original name of this god correctly as "DEECE" with no spelling similarity to that of Zeus. An even better reference is from The Greek Word Elements , the Netherlands, 1987, page 68, under the dictionary listings for the letter "D" -- that is "delta" in Greek. Below is an excerpt from the page where the ancient word for "Zeus" is located. It is the word spelled "Delta - Iota - Sigma" (DEECE) once again.
To summarize, the name of our Savior in English .... JESUS, has no correlation to, nor is derived from the name of the chief Greek god ... ZEUS/DEECE. Our Savior's name can be praised correctly as Yahshua, Iesous, or Jesus as they all are correct language translations that literally mean "Yahweh is Salvation". Since we are living in 21st century America and speaking English it will be more intelligible if we refer to Yahweh Elohim manifested in the flesh as JESUS CHRIST. This name is both Scriptural and natural in it's present usage for our Christian Israel family. Furthermore, a denial of the name "Jesus Christ" is a denial that true Israel migrated westward, dropped the Hebrew language, and became Christians, ALL in fulfillment of Yahweh's promise that He would cause this to happen in order for us to eventually identify true Israel in the last days. (Saxon Christians) The denial of the name JESUS CHRIST is given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit to identify an "Antichrist". (I Jn.2:18; 2:22; 4:3; II Jn.1:7) Please don't be misled by the half truth propaganda presently circulating and teaching that we must only refer to our Savior by His Hebrew name Yahshua. Such is another ploy to remove Jesus Christ from our national law and to wipe out the fact that America was established as a Christian nation. below next Holy Spirit Name
The Name of the Holy Spirit Hokhmah/Sophia ( feminine ) This may be new and shocking information to many Christians, but the truth that the Holy Spirit is a feminine attribute of Yahweh Elohim may be the biggest "piece of the puzzle" missing in our communication with the Living God of the Bible. Try to envision a Christian nation void of all loving and responsible Motherhood, and you can see what has happened to the "body of Christ" in the Earth. The teaching that "God" is all and exclusively masculine has a terribly crippling effect upon the remnant of Christ in their spiritual growth. In fact, the antiChrists among us have created a debt money system in our land which has forced the wives to leave the duties of home just so the family can "make ends meet" financially, thus decimating the virtue of family Motherhood in America. As with the money system, antiChrists have also been at work with our Bibles. The sacredness of divine Motherhood is being systematically removed from our nation, and it has long ago been removed from our English Bible versions. The results are devastating both physically and spiritually. Church doctrines have, in reality, separated believers from their Mother The Holy Spirit, by erasing her from our minds and hearts. (Remember that The Holy Spirit is a person of Yahweh Elohim and not simply a "force"-- see Part II this study) The words for "Spirit" in the earliest Bible texts were never masculine words. "Spirit" in the Hebrew text is "Ruwach" and is a feminine noun listed at Strong's # 7307. In the N.T. Greek, "Spirit" is "Pneuma", a neuter word; however the the N.T. Scriptures portray the Holy Spirit as a "dove" which is a feminine word in both the Hebrew and the Greek Bible manuscripts. For the first century after Christ ascended, no Bible text existed that depicted the Holy Spirit as a "He". With the rise of Roman Catholicism the original Greek texts were translated into Latin in two then popular versions between 200 AD - 400 AD. They were The Old Latin Version and The Vulgate Version (which became the Bible of Europe for the next 1000 years). In these Latin versions the neuter N.T. Greek word for "Spirit" (pneuma) was changed to the Latin masculine word "Spiritus". The first English version Bibles were based on the Latin Vulgate, and subsequently all references to the Holy Spirit became "He", based on the incorrect Latin gender of "Spiritus". The Roman Church having elevated Mary up to diety status as "The Mother of God" could ill afford to have a "conflicting feminine" Holy Spirit since Mary was being worshipped as the Queen of Heaven. Therefore all of Europe would now have a masculine Holy Spirit, with Mary (a created mortal woman) supplanting the true feminine nature of Yahweh Elohim. Speaking to prophetic faithful Jerusalem (the believers in Christ), Yahweh declared (concerning the national troubles) that Elohim would come as a "Comforter". The faulty English translations of the N.T. citing the "Comforter Holy Spirit" (Jn.16:7) as a "Him" (from Latin versions) are incorrect because the Old Testament promise was that Yahweh Elohim would arrive to comfort us as our mother. "Comforting" is much more a feminine trait and loving undertaking, as opposed to the dominantly masculine trait of Authority by The Father. "For thus saith Yahweh, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem." (Isa,66:12,13) Her personal name is "WISDOM" ("Hokhmah" in Hebrew or "Sophia" in Greek) ["Hokhmah, Strong's # 2451 fem.; Sophia, Strong's # 4678 fem.]
"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?" (Luke 11:13) "Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Master Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Master Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him:" (Ephesians 1:15 - 1) "And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the Spirit of Wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as Yahweh commanded Moses." (Deuteronomy 34:9) "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." ( 2 Peter 1:21) "And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: ...... Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen And they were not able to resist the Wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake. (Acts 6:5,9,10)
Proverbs Chapter 8 Reveals Her Name --- "Wisdom/Hokhmah/Sophia" 1 Doth not Wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? 2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. 3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors. 4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. 13 The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. 14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. 22 Yahweh possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. 23 I was set up (reigned) from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. 24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth (commissioned for action, not created); when there were no fountains abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: 26 While as yet He had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. 27 When He prepared the heavens, I was there: when He set a compass upon the face of the depth: 28 When He established the clouds above: when He strengthened the fountains of the deep: 29 When He gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when He appointed the foundations of the earth: 30 Then I was by Him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him; 31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
Conclusion based on the written revelation given within the Sacred Scriptures The Primary Name(s) of our "God" given to the remnant of higher calling: Yah-weh Elohim = [Self Emanating Existence of Higher Powers- All One] Yah = [Yahweh as becoming Father/Right Hand/Authority] Yah-shua = [Yahweh as becoming the Son/Salvation/Manifested Word in the flesh] (JESUS is the appropriate English translation of Yahshua but a person must know the meaning) Soph-ee-Yah = [Yahweh as becoming applied Holy Wisdom to accomplish all things] These combine to produce the "Seven Spirits" of Elohim to achieve the Divine Purpose of Existence.
As we complete this elementary three part lesson on the nature of "God" Almighty it should be obvious to the reader by now that even though Yahweh is a singular entity infinite and everlasting, the overlapping attributes of Yahweh Elohim are those to be found within a personal family (Father, Holy Spirit, Son). This is not in a sexual manner but on a high spiritual essence of love. As a family, Yahweh Elohim and those whom "He" has adopted (the believers by faith Eph.1:5), are of ONE. The attack against the body of Christ by antiChrists is in their attack upon our family values. This attack is both spiritual and physical. Eliminating the feminine Holy Spirit as our much needed Mother Sophia destroys 1/3 of our Faith. This means that Christendom has been running on only 66.6% understanding... symbolic numbers to say the least. (If it were a common school test, it would rate a "D" grade. Not very good). Physically, the attack has taken place in America by feminizing our men and masculating our women to the destruction of our families. This is a physical duplication of reversing the spiritual gender of The Holy Spirit theologically. The ramifications are far reaching and this web site will carry expanded articles on this subject matter possibly in May/June of 2004. Check back. In the mean time ---- get to know Yahweh as the feminine Holy Spirit by seeking the counsel of those attributes (comforter, mother nurture, guide of wisdom) in prayer!! This will add to your closeness to Yahweh Elohim and expand your personal relationship with the Divine Being. Most have forgotten "Her". (Much more on The Holy Spirit later)
