As a writer, I understand the power of words and how difficult it is to convey the full meaning and impact of a statement when translating from one language to another.  Considering all the problems of translating simple declarative sentences, when we add to this complicated clauses, figures of speech, idioms, slang, vernacular, etc., it is a wonder that we understand the intentions of the Hebrew scribes and prophets at all. Most scholars agree that the King James Version is a poor translation, at best.  It was written by Englishmen who had little working knowledge of spoken Hebrew or of Hebrew traditions.  In addition to this problem is the fact that these translators had little or no knowledge of their true Identity, meaning that the Celts and the Anglo-Saxons are the true heirs of the heritage of the Israelites.  The King James Version perpetuates the absurd idea that the Jews are identical to the Israelites.  Even more problematic is the fact that the prevailing worldview that these men were laboring under was the Flat Earth Theory, thus forcing them to translate God=s Word from that limited point of view.

However, knowing that our Bibles are fraught with these defects, it is easy to reconstruct the language to harmonize with reality. We simply isolate these defects and adjust the language accordingly.  I can say that every time I have retranslated verses with these objects in mind, the Bible has become a very accurate book; and this accuracy is reflected in terms of history, science, prophecy, archeology, linguistics, etc. 

It is important to understand that the original Hebrew used by our ancient ancestors conveyed much more meaning than even modern interpreters have imagined.  This is especially true of the individuals that the Bible names.  Their names are not just names.  Their names are uniquely identifying trademarks which tell us what they were known for.  There is a reason why Jacob was renamed Israel.  There is a reason why Abram was renamed Abraham.  There is a reason why Esau was renamed Edom. Esau was a Saxon (son of Isaac); but when he rejected his heritage and married into the hook-nosed Hittite race, he became a Jew and his name was changed to Edom.

Biblical names reveal much about the individual.  So, to ignore their meanings is to ignore knowledge and wisdom.  And the two most important names in the Bible are Yahweh and Yahshua.

The Tetragrammaton,YHWH

Commandment #3: A Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord [Yahweh] thy God in vain; for the Lord [Yahweh] will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.@  (Ex. 20:7, Deut. 5:11.)

Now, here we have a very important development within Christianity.  Israel has forgotten God=s name.  An equally important realization is that what is being discussed in this Commandment is not cursing or swearing while using the word >God= in a sentence.  What this Commandment is referring to is the name, YAHWEH.  Without the vowels, the name is known as the tetragrammaton, YHWH.  This Commandment is telling us not to use ‘Yahweh’ in vain.

Israel=s God has a name; and that name is YAHWEH.  The titles, ‘Lord’ and ‘God’ are not His Name.  Consequently, it has not even been possible to take His name in vain because we have forgotten it.  In fact, when Yahweh divorced the House of Israel and sent us into the wilderness for our purification, one of the main reasons was that we were using His name, Yahweh, in vain.  By causing us to forget His name, we were no longer able to violate this commandment.  As we come into remembrance as to who we are and what our purpose is, the time has come for us to reclaim our heritage and start using our God=s name again, with sincerity and purpose.

AAnd Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? What shall I say unto them?  And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.  And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Yahweh God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name forever and this is my memorial unto all generations.@ B Ex. 3:13-15.

The Bible repeatedly admonishes us to revere God=s name in prayer, praise and song; but, because of our punitive divorcement from Him, we haven=t done this for centuries.  Despite our forgetfulness, His name is forever and it is to be a memorial unto all Israel.

So, why haven=t we been using His name?  One answer is provided by Strong=s Concordance itself, although unintentionally.  The English rendition, Athe LORD@, from the Hebrew AYahweh@ is listed as word #3068.  Strong, obviously influenced by rabbinical distortions of the Hebrew Scriptures, incorrectly uses the traditional Jewish spelling and pronunciation of AJehovah@ in this entry.

AJehovah@ is a medieval rabbinical concoction which is typically unbiblical.  Virtually all scholars agree that the correct pronunciation is AYahweh@, with the first syllable pronounced like the German AYa@ and the second syllable pronounced like the German Ageh@ as in AGehen Sie heim@. This German Aeh@ sound is longer than the English short Aeh@ as in AEd@ but shorter than the English Aay@ sound, as in Away@.  Phonetically, it is almost directly in between.  And, in Hebrew, the W is pronounced like a V (AYahveh@).  Historically, the letter W did not enter into our language until around 1,000 AD.  Before then, we only had the vowel U and the consonant V.  So, phonetically, the name should be pronounced YAH-VEY, although the anglicized pronunciation “YAH-WAY” has become very common among CI people.

Since we had forgotten we are Israel, we also had forgotten to use His name when praying to Him.  God wants us to address Him by His name, Yahweh, which is the specific name that He had instructed Moses that we, His people, were supposed to use.  Yahweh means Creator, or, more primordially, >I am becoming=, or >I am that I am= (‘I am that which I choose to be’), or even more simply, >I am.=  

 

ABlessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Yahweh, in the light of thy countenance.  In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.@  B Ps. 89:15,16.

AUnto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.@ B Psalm 75:1.

AHelp us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name=s sake.@  B Ps. 79:9.

When we address God by His name, Yahweh, we are acknowledging His self-creating Being.  His name means causation, creativity, will, and power.  He is the One who creates everything and allows everything else to be created because of Him.  This awesome power is reflected in His name and that=s why we are commanded to both use it properly and not take it in vain.

AIn Judah God is known: his name is great in Israel.@  B Psalm 76:1.

A major feature of the Restoration of Israel in the latter days is this rediscovery of His Name by His remnant people, Jacob-Israel. Revelation 22:4 tells us this:  “And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.”  We are Yah=s people and Yah is our God.  He has promised us that when we address Him by His Name, Yahweh (or, “Yah,” for short), He will listen to us.  >God= is a title, not a name.  A title denotes a position or office.  A name denotes a particular individual.

In addition to its meaning as “Creator,” >Yahweh= is also an affirmation of life.  In the Germanic languages, >Yah= means >yes=. Yahweh is the “ever-living One.”  We accept life with all of its challenges and responsibilities because life is His blessing given to us.  The subject of our God=s name is a very important one.  It is the subject of many philological articles and sermons.

One of the main differences between Judaism and Biblical Christianity is the use of our God=s name. 

There is a common misunderstanding by non-Identity Whites that the use of >Yahweh= is a Jewish tradition and that the use of >Yahweh= insults Christianity or the White race.  This idea is completely false and is based on the erroneous assumption that the Jews are Hebrews.  The Jews were never Hebrews.  The Hebrews, by definition, are racially pure Adamites descended from the patriarch, Eber.  The Jews have always been a mixed multitude of mamzers (racially mixed mongrels) who possess only partial Adamite/Hebrew blood. 

The first portion of Adamic blood they inherited came through Cain, who was a half-breed Adamite/Nephilite.  These early Jews were known as Cainites and later became known as Canaanites because they settled in the land of Canaan. 

The second infusion of Adamite blood into the Jewish people came from Jacob=s brother Esau, who was a race traitor.  The Bible tells us that “Esau despised his birthright [genetic heritage].”

Jacob and Esau were twins, but when Esau refused to reproduce after his own kind, his parents disowned him, and more importantly, Yahweh Himself disowned him.  After being disowned, his name was changed to Edom.  Having married into the Canaanite people, his Canaanite descendants became known as Edomites.

The third major infusion of Adamite blood into the Jewish people came as a result of an act by King John Hyrcanus, who merged the Edomite nation of Idumea with the Judahite nation of Judah around 150 B.C. 

Despite repeated infusions of Adamic blood into the Jewish people, they cannot claim to be Adamites, Israelites, Judahites, Hebrews, or even Semites, because all of those designations, by biblical definition, are reserved exclusively for pure-blooded Adamites.  This makes the Jews mixed-race stepsons at best and outright impostors at worst.  Irregardless, the Jews were not, are not, and can never be the heirs of the Kingdom because Yahweh does not permit race-mixing in His people.  And as long as the Jews continue to impersonate Israel and pretend to be us, they hope and fantasize that they shall steal our inheritance by this grandiose deception.  In truth, their main reason for being is to deceive True Israel.  By impersonating us, they hope to deprive us of the promised Kingdom, at which time Jesus Christ will return to claim True Israel as His Bride.  At the same time, He will judge the Jews, and those who work for or with them, for their iniquity. Even though the rabbis of Judaism love to fool gullible Christians with the slogan, AJesus was a Jew,@ they know full well that Jesus was a racial Judahite, and not a Jew.  Jesus was not a mixed breed individual. He was a 100% Judahite.  “I am the root and the offspring of David,”  -- Rev. 22:16.

As part of the deception of True Israel, and contrary to the teachings of the Bible, Judaism forbids the use of God=s name, Yahweh.  Christians have to ask: “Why would God=s purported ‘chosen people’ disobey their own God by refusing to use His name at all?  Well, since the Jews aren=t God=s people, it is easy to understand why they don=t use His name. 

The rabbis of Judaism very cleverly exploit the fact that we have forgotten His Name and claim that His Name is TOO HOLY TO BE PRONOUNCED – by anyone!  In this way, they hope to prevent us from reestablishing our relationship with Him! 

As part of Yahweh’s Writ of Divorcement, the House of Israel was exiled away from Palestine in 745 B.C.    (See Isa. 50:1, with elaboration in Hosea, Chapters 1-3.)   This period of exile was prophesied to last 7 “times.”  (Lev. 26:18.)  This is known to Bible scholars as the “seven times punishment.”  In prophetic reckoning, a “time” is equal to 360 years.  7 * 360 = 2520.  2520 years after 745 B.C. brings us to 1776 AD, the year in which America, a White Christian nation based on biblical law, was born.  The divorce period ended in 1776, and we, True Israel, remembering who we are, are also beginning to remember our God, Yahweh.  The International Jew has been trying to destroy America ever since it was created by Yahweh, but he will not succeed.  The Book of Revelation (Chapter 12) makes it very clear that the Bride of Christ will be composed of the “saints” of the Twelve Tribes of Israel -- and no one else.

The Jews, by forbidding the use of His Name, hope to prolong our national amnesia which has now fulfilled its prophetic purpose.  The Anti-Christ rabbis have no choice but to continue their fraud and mockery in perpetuity.  Their only hope of avoiding the Judgment Day is to try to prevent the Wedding Feast of the Lamb, the event at which Yahshua will claim His Bride. If they can prevent us from rediscovering our Identity and prevent us from praying to our God, Yahweh, they can delay both our salvation and their death sentence.  Their religion, Judaism, has one main purpose: to deceive True Israel and thereby separate us from our Father, Yahweh.  The longer they can keep us apart, the more they can delay our true inheritance of everlasting life in His Kingdom as Yahweh’s chosen people.

Most translations of the Bible contain the expression Athe LORD@ in place of the name >Yahweh=. But >Lord= in English is the same as >Baal= in Hebrew!  Ask yourself: “Why would Yahweh want us to address Him as >Baal= (a pagan deity) when He condemns Baal worship?”  Even more to the point: why would the translators want to use “Lord” knowing that it means “Baal”?  Obviously, Yahweh does not want us to do so.  The explanation for this curious phenomenon lies in the fact that the translators of the King James Bible had unquestioningly adopted the Jewish tradition of replacing >Yahweh= with “the Lord=” wherever it occurred in the Old Testament. 

What is the Biblical justification for doing this?  There is none! 

But there are two reasons why Christians have accepted this tradition.  The first is the false assumption that the rabbis are the authorities on this subject.  As all CI people know, Judaism is NOT the religion of the Old Testament.  Their Aholy@ book is the Talmud, which often changes and even contradicts the Torah of the Old Testament.  For the rabbi, it overrules the Old Testament.  The two religions are so diametrically opposed that it would not be erroneous to say that whatever the Torah forbids, the Talmud permits.  For this development, we can directly blame our ancestor, John Hyrcanus, for had he not merged Idumea with Judah, the mixed-race sect known as the Pharisees could not have emerged over the hereditary Levitical (i.e. Israelite) priesthood.  It was these Pharisees who invented the religion known today as Judaism.

The second reason can only be a sinister motive by the rabbis who want to keep True Israel from praying to their God in an effective way.  If we don=t know how to use our own God=s name, we cannot expect Him to respond to us in a personal manner.  It=s like the difference between saying AHey, you!@ versus ADear John@  B or the difference between wishing upon a star and making a personal appeal to your Creator.  To which do you think Yahweh is more likely to respond?  What=s your name?  Are you more likely to respond to someone who uses your name or to someone who calls out AHey, you, Baal!@?  Of course, humility, faith and patience have a lot to do with effective prayer as well.

What does the Bible say about using His name?

AI will publish the name of Yahweh: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.@ B Deut. 32:3.

AI will praise thy name, O Yahweh, for it is good.@  B Ps. 54:6.

The Bible is full of admonitions for us to use His name and praise His name, especially in the book of Psalms.  The Book of Psalms is a book of prayers in which almost every prayer is dedicated to His name and to the use and praise of His name.  This should be a lesson for all Israelites, especially when it comes to answering the question, AWhy doesn=t God answer my prayers?@  When you start addressing Him by His name, Yahweh, then you will start getting answers.  But when asking for personal help, be sure to make a plea for all of True Israel and for all of your friends and relatives, because selfish prayer is not what Christianity is about.  We pray for others and we do what we can to build the Kingdom of God here on earth.  Remember what Jesus said: ASeek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.@  

Pray first for instruction and enlightenment, and the same for others; and only thereafter for supplication.  Our mutual seeking after righteousness will establish the Kingdom.  Only if we are  desperately ill should we pray more for ourselves; and then it is good to have other Israelites pray with you.  Even here prayer should be done in a spirit of repentance and devotion to the Kingdom.

To underscore this topic about God=s name, I would like to quote from the Preface of the Holy Bible, Revised Standard Version, 1972:

AA major departure for the practice of the American Standard Version is the rendering of the Divine Name, the ATetragrammaton.@  The American Standard Version used the term AJehovah@; the King James Version had employed this in four places, but everywhere else, except in three cases where it was employed as part of a proper name, used the English word LORD (or in certain cases GOD) printed in capitals.  The present revision returns to the procedure of the King James Version, which follows the precedent of the ancient Greek and Latin translators and the long established practice in the reading of the Hebrew scriptures in the synagogue.@

Now, dear Christian, should we follow Jewish tradition just because the Jews do it or should we follow what the Bible tells us to do?  Your answer may determine which side you=re on at the Judgment Day.

The RSV continues:

AWhile it is almost if not quite certain that the Name was originally pronounced AYahweh,@ this pronunciation was not indicated when the Masoretes [the Jewish scribes] added vowel signs to the consonantal Hebrew text.  To the four consonants YHWH of the Name, which had come to be regarded as too sacred to be pronounced [without any Biblical authority!], they attached vowel signs indicating that in its place should be read the Hebrew word Adonai meaning ALord@ (or Elohim meaning AGod@).  The ancient Greek translators substituted the word Kyrios (Lord) for the Name.  The Vulgate likewise used the Latin word Dominus.  The form AJehovah@ is of late medieval origin; it is a combination of the consonants of the Divine Name and the vowels attached to it by the Masoretes but belonging to an entirely different word.  The sound of Y is represented by J and the sound of W by V, as in Latin.  For two reasons the Committee has returned to the more familiar usage of the King James Version: (1) the word AJehovah@ does not accurately represent any form of the Name ever used in Hebrew; and (2) the use of any proper name for the one and only god, as though there were other gods from whom He had to be distinguished, was discontinued in Judaism before the Christian era and is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church.@  B pages 3 and 4 of the Preface (no printed pagination).      

In other writings, I have discussed the merits of the Masoretic Text versus the Greek Septuagint and I have become convinced (as have many other scholars of numerous denominations) that the Septuagint is the more accurate text.  The Septuagint is a direct translation from the Hebrew into the Greek by JUDAHITE scribes. The Jews, as the mixed-breed offspring of Idumeans and Judahites, had absolutely nothing to do with the writing of the Septuagint. The fact is that the Septuagint is Israelite/Judahite literature. The Masoretic text is Jewish, not Israelite, literature.

The authenticity of the Septuagint was proved by the discovery of certain books of the Old Testament in the Dead Sea Scrolls.  These Dead Sea Scroll versions proved to be older than either the Masoretic or any of the existing Septuagint texts.  The Septuagint almost always adheres more closely to the Dead Sea Scrolls than does the Masoretic heresy, thus verifying that the rabbis had made unauthorized changes to the original text.  By “unauthorized,” I mean the command of Moses that the Hebrew Scriptures are not to be tampered with by anyone.  This command is found at Deuteronomy 4:1 & 2.  As it stands, the entire Talmud, since it consists entirely of rabbinical additions and changes to the Torah, is in violation of this Mosaic command.

Many scholars have pointed out that where the New Testament writers quote the Old Testament, it is almost always in agreement with the Septuagint, thus suggesting that when Jesus Himself quoted from Scripture, He was quoting either the Septuagint, the original Hebrew scrolls, or the Aramaic Targums.  NONE OF THESE TEXTS ARE JEWISH LITERATURE.  The rabbis pretend that this is their literature, but no rabbi ever wrote a word of any of it; and certainly no Pharisee ever wrote a word of it.  Of course, the Masoretic text didn=t even exist in Jesus’ time, for it was not committed to writing until 1000 AD.

In all, the Masoretes deleted the Sacred Name a total of 7000 times!  Who gave them the authority to do this?  What arrogance! Moses, in Deuteronomy 4:2, declared that NO ONE has the authority to add or subtract from God=s word, yet these rabbis arrogate unto themselves the editorial power to delete the holiest of names!

Since the Masoretic text is the Jewish version, we must regard with suspicion any changes that the rabbis have made to the text, especially when it comes to crossing out the name AYahweh@ and replacing it with the title ALord.@  Such a practice can only be described as blasphemous, for the Bible declares over and over that we are to use and praise His name.  Nowhere does the Bible even suggest the idea that the name is Atoo holy to be pronounced@.  This false piety is just that: FALSEYand deceptive.

You should know that the main job of all rabbis is to find clever and deceptive ways to use words to make their evil deeds sound good.  They are hypocrites (Luke 12:1) the like of which the universe has never seen!

Unfortunately, the Committee, which is to be commended for dropping the use of the word >Jehovah,= nevertheless falls into another trap.  Conclusion number 2, to repeat, states AThe use of any proper name for the one and only God, as though there were other gods from whom He had to be distinguished, was discontinued in Judaism before the Christian era and is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church.@

Dear Christian Israel, it just happens to be a fact that we MUST distinguish between Yahweh and other gods.  If we do not, then we fall into the same old predicament which befell the rebellious Israelites in the land of Canaan.  Even the New Testament tells us that there are many gods: AThere be gods many and lords many.@ (I Cor. 8:5).  This is not a denial of monotheism.  Monotheism does not deny the existence of other spiritual entities.  It is, rather, the assertion that Yahweh has no equal.  AAmong the gods there is none like unto thee, O Yahweh.@ (Psalm 86:8).  The Old Testament frequently uses the expression AYahweh Elohim.@  Since >elohim= means Agods,@ this expression clearly implies that Yahweh is the AGod of gods,@ or the highest ranking god of the universe (the Most High God), indeed the Creator of the universe. [>Universe,= by the way, literally means AOne Word.@ (Yahweh=s Word.)]  It is only fitting that this Universal Being have a name unto Himself.

Considering the above-cited Biblical references concerning our God, Yahweh, and the commanded use of His proper name, I find it inconceivable that these apparently well-intentioned Christian editors could make such an egregiously stupid statement.  Nowhere in the Bible are we admonished not to use God=s name except for taking His name in vain.  On the contrary, honoring and praising His holy Name is one of the highest virtues of a Biblical Christian.   Let there be no mistake: the avoidance of the proper use of God=s name is a Pharisaic deception.  It is the leaven of the Pharisees at its worst; and all Christians should beware this AJudeo-Christian@ subterfuge, which is an integral part of the Talmudic end-time strategy designed to weaken and destroy Christianity and True Israel.

The fact is that, in the hearts and minds of Israelites and of all mankind, Yahweh is indeed competing against other gods, whether we realize it or not.  The fact that He has given us His proper name is sufficient reason to use it. By using His proper name, Yahweh, we remind ourselves of His omnipotence rather than, as the Committee suggests, diminish the idea of His importance.  This Committee was obviously influenced by deceptive Jewish fables.  We pray that the deleterious influence of these fables ends once and for all, in Yahweh=s name.  Amen.

 

I have often argued that proper names should not be translated from one language to another unless there is a common and satisfactory equivalent in the new language.  This is not the case for >Yahweh.=  There is no equivalent for ‘Yahweh’ any other language, therefore, all Bibles should contain the tetragrammaton, no matter what the language.  There is no valid reason to translate a proper name if there is no equivalent in the object language.

Having established the non-translatability of the tetragrammaton, I was tremendously gratified to discover that the original Septuagint translators, scribes of Judahite descent commissioned by King Ptolemy of Egypt, chose to retain the name of Yahweh in the original Paleo-Hebrew script within the Greek body of the text.  Not only did they retain the Paleo-Hebrew script, they retained the original right-to-left direction of the Hebrew while using the left-to-right direction of the Greek translational text, confirming the non-translatability of >Yahweh.’  The Judahite scribes saw no reason to translate >Yahweh= into Greek.  Indeed, they could not translate it into Greek because the Greeks had no word for it...and neither does English.  The best we can do is to transliterate it into >I AM=; but this does not do the name justice, as you shall see in the next section.

For those readers who might be skeptical of this claim regarding the Septuagint, I invite you to inspect the on-line pictorial evidence of the Dead Sea Scroll version of the Septuagint.  The Paleo-Hebrew script is unmistakable in its position.  One web address is  http://www.eliyah.com/lxx.html.  If this link is no longer active, just type the phrase APaleo-Hebrew in the Septuagint@ into your browser and you will get many references, many with pictorial evidence.

In my oldest copy of the King James Bible, I crossed out every instance of LORD, writing YHWH in its place.  With regard to printed Bibles, such a change would be just the beginning of undoing the tremendous damage done to our heritage by the Jews.  I was again gratified to learn that the JERUSALEM BIBLE, a Catholic version, retains the name of Yahweh throughout, even in the apocryphal books which are included as part of that Bible.   There is also now available a Christian Identity version of the Bible which retains the name of Yahweh.  It is called The Book of Yahweh.   (The Book of Yahweh is available from The House of Yahweh, POB 2498 Abilene TX 79604.)

All of the preceding demonstrates that there is no justification for substituting the title LORD for the proper name YHWH.  It is out of the question, for it is blatant human meddling in Divine affairs.  Were it not for the satanic connivings of the Arebbes@ of Judaism, this apostate tradition would have never crept into our religious experience.  Only a Yahweh-hating bunch of serpents and vampires (like the Pharisees and Masoretes), conniving against us for the last two thousand years, could have accomplished this.  And as you ought to know, they hate Yahshua even more, because Yahshua was Yahweh in the flesh come to condemn them specifically for their evil doctrines.  There can be no doubt about this, for Isa. 43:11 tells us, “I, even I, am Yahweh; and beside me there is no saviour.”  And the New Testament confirms it: “I and my Father are One.” (John 10:30.)

As we recapture our heritage from those who have been brazenly stealing it from us, we begin to understand the truly perfidious nature of the Jew.  Yahshua (Jesus) told us that they are the children of the devil and that their religion is the religion of lies.  (John 8:33-47.)  It is no wonder that they hate the New Testament, because, in rejecting Jesus the Christ, they have repeatedly declared their complicity with the father of lies.  Yahshua, the victim of deicide on the cross, will return the favor at the Judgment Day.  Their perpetual wickedness will finally be recompensed.  Praise Yah!

“He that commiteth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.  For this purpose the son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.”  (I John 3:8.)

Catherine Ponder, in her book, The Millionaire JOSHUA, has this to say about the Sacred Name:

AThe Hebrews used the term AI AM@ so much that they became known as Athe people of the I AM.@  They considered the term AI AM@ the lost word of power which, when released in meditation and through spoken decrees, could perform miracles in an instant...Whereas the phrase AI AM,@ meaning the God-power within, had been Athe song of Moses@ and his secret text for success, it was the expanded phrase AI AM THAT I AM,@  meaning the universal God-power, that had been the Asong of Joshua@ and his secret text for success.@  (P. 14)

If Catherine Ponder is correct in her assertions, then it means that the Hebrews and the Israelites were known for their use of the Tetragrammaton, not for their denial of it.  It would also mean that our proper use of the Sacred Name is a very powerful prayer tool.  This tool has been lost to us for many centuries, thanks to Jewish deception and AJudeo-Christian@ complicity and stupidity.

Joshua, Chapter 1, tells us this:

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”  -- Verse 8.

The prosperity of our people is directly tied to our obedience to the Law.  This is not true for the Jews.  Their prosperity is based on deception, usury and theft.  It must also be understood that we are talking here about NATIONAL PROSPERITY.  This is a national message.  We, True Israel, the Celto-Saxon People, as God’s Chosen People, have been designed by Yahweh to prosper as a nation, not as individuals.   This is the Divine Economy: Saxons working together under Yah’s Law to build prosperous, just, and flourishing nations.  This has always been our history until the point comes where we allow the Jews into our midst: and then the exploitation, corruption, vice, usury and chaos begin.

“Have I not commanded thee?  Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for Yahweh thy God is with thee wherever thou goest.” – Verse 9.

The Old Testament is clearly establishing a twofold pattern of success: first, we must obey His Law; second, we must call upon His Name to help us accomplish what we cannot do for ourselves.  The New Testament completely verifies this twofold condition:

John 14:13-15:

 

“And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name [Yahshua], that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.  If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

The Gospel of John, Chapter 15, Verses 12-17:

Of course, this type of “love” can only be the mutual respect created by virtue of communal obedience to Yah’s Law.  Jesus was speaking to the Judahites. Benjamites and Levites of His own Family Tree.  He was NOT speaking to Christ-hating Jews of the Idumean/Edomite mixed tree, who are not capable of obeying His Law.  The Jews have always been lawbreakers, feigning piety while holding up the Torah as a prop to deceive us into thinking that they are the inheritors of the Covenants.   For True Israel, as a people, the message of biblical Christianity is clear:  Call upon His Name and Keep His Commandments.  This is our recipe for success.   We are to work together, as a nation, as a people, calling upon His Name and obeying His Law, loving one another and admonishing one another to do likewise.  This is the only way in which we can both prosper and defeat the Anti-Christ.

In a pamphlet entitled AYahweh=s Name at the End of the Age@ by Yahweh=s New Covenant Assembly, we read these words:

Compare this statement with the diametrically opposite point of view of the editorial committee quoted above.  Their opinion stated that we do not need to use His Holy Name because there are no other gods that can compete with Him.  BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT.  The Point is that other gods DO COMPETE WITH HIM IN OUR MINDS.  And when we use His Name, there is no competition because no other god is known by this name.  By using His Name, Yahweh, we get closer to Him; and this is the means by which we develop a “personal relationship with God.”

Further on, the authors of this pamphlet say,

Isn=t it simply common sense to suggest that the MOST HIGH GOD, YHWH, would have a Name reserved only for Himself?  All the objections to the Sacred Name fall flat when you really understand what His Name means and that there is no other entity like Him.   Now, it is true that the title, >God,= shares some of the many connotations that His Sacred Name imply, such as majesty and power; but the word >God= lacks the personal presence implied by >Yahweh,= which, as Catherine Ponder pointed out, means AGod within.@  It can hardly be denied that modern religion has lost this sense of God within.  So many Christians seek their salvation through outside intercessors, such as charismatic priests and preachers, when Scripture tells us over and over, AThe Kingdom of heaven is within you.@   (Luke, 17:21.)

The Old Testament, in the book of Jeremiah, puts it rhetorically: “Am I a God at hand, saith Yahweh, and not a God afar off?  Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith Yahweh. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith Yahweh. (Chapter 23: 23 & 24.)

Indeed, Yahweh exists within our very souls, yet we perceive Him not – or better, we choose to ignore Him in favor of our earthly desires.  But just as His Spirit indwells our being, His omnipresence indwells the universe itself.  He is the author of all, within and without.  Since He is everywhere and everytime, there is nothing that can be hidden from Him.

It is ironic that so many sincere Christians are searching for something OUT THERE (such as Adynamic preaching@) that instead needs to be brought into existence from IN HERE!   Studies and questionnaires have shown that most people go to church in order to get something from the church experience.  Of course, True Christianity is the opposite of this spirit of Churchianity.  That=s why Jesus told us that AIt is better to give than to receive.@  Charity helps us to overcome our selfishness and narrow-mindedness because it allows us to share in Yahweh=s Universal Mind. All the self-help programs in the world cannot compare to the personal power which is expressed by the simple phrase, AI AM.@  This is an affirmation of Life, an affirmation of Power, and an affirmation of fearlessness in the face of overwhelming odds.  Far too many AChristians@ go to church hoping to get something out of the church experience but they have nothing to give!  The ideals of service, charity, and self-sacrifice for the benefit of one=s follow citizens are far from their minds.  Rather, they look to Churchianity for validation of their self-centered lifestyles...and most of their preachers are happy to oblige with their gospel of personal gratification! -- Oh, sorry, the gospel of personal salvation. 

In Matthew 22:37-40, Yahshua summarizes His instructions to those who would follow Him:

AThou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.@

 

But how many of these Churchians practice these two Commandments?  They hear lukewarm preaching, scarf down their pancake breakfast, and go home to their soap operas and secular, personal enrichment routines.  Kingdom-building is the furthest thing from their minds, and, not surprisingly, some of them are pretty lousy neighbors!

This situation reminds me of another forgotten appellation for Yahweh, namely, PROVIDENCE. This attribute recognizes Yahweh as our PROVIDER: He who provides us with everything we need, not to mention all that we are, including our very consciousness and self-awareness.  All of these basic necessities of life and experience are provided by the Most High God, Yahweh; yet, so often we ignore Him or merely pay Him lip service!  When we act out of selfless charity, we partake of His nature, which is constantly giving of Himself to all of His creation.  When we give of ourselves we invite the divine essence to act through us and empower us.  We grow in stature because we imitate Him.  Contrast this philosophy with that of the so-called AGospel of Personal Salvation,@ which, in practice, is really the Gospel of Personal Gratification because it is not based on His Law.   Under this “dispensation,” Christians do little more than beg for personal blessings so as to be Asaved.@  Can you say Alooking for love in all the wrong places@?  Instead of looking for it and asking for it, we should be giving it and doing it!  Perhaps this concept is too simple to understand?

The world at large is stuck in a pitiful AWoe is me@ attitude.  They say to themselves, over and over, AI am poor,@ AI am sick,@ AI am helpless.@  It=s no wonder they are sick, poor and helpless!  We are looking to be loved BY others instead of bringing the Kingdom into being through our own love!  Perhaps, at this point, the problem is best stated in the form of a question:  If the Kingdom of Heaven is within you, then what is preventing you from bringing it forth?  With so little faith in the personal presence of Yahweh, even sincere Christians are no better than hedonistic atheists!  Try affirming to yourself: AI AM a constant blessing to all those around me.@ See if this prayer produces a welcome attitude change.  Or, try this one:  “I AM a child of Yahweh and a friend of Yahshua.”   The Sacred Name is our direct connection to Him.  The Sacred Name is the means by which God enables us to share in His power, BUT ONLY AS LONG AS WE OBEY HIS LAW.    We have to be of ONE MIND with the Father, otherwise we contradict His Will and His natural order of the Universe.

AHoly Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are one.@  B John 17:11.  (Put yourself in the place of Jesus Christ, who is the reciter of this prayer, and see what a powerful prayer this is!)

 

Jesus also said “No one comes to the Father but through me.”  (John 14:6.)  Yahshua (Yahweh Saves) came in the flesh to redeem us for our past sins.  No greater act of unselfish Love has ever been manifest under heaven.  The lesson is that we must become for our brethren what we expect them to be for us, by giving of ourselves.  This is a complete reversal of worldly logic.  Worldly logic demands that we, as individuals, compete with each other for slices of a limited pie.  Divine logic tells us that through brotherly love we create unparalleled abundance! – “on earth, as it is in heaven.”  History has proven that there is no higher civilization than Christian civilization.  When we obey His Law and are conversant with Him, we prosper nationally and individually.

There is no oneness outside of Yahweh=s Law.  Combining obedience to Yahweh=s Law with this constant awareness of His presence is what Brother Lawrence called AThe Practice of the Presence of God.@  This is the True Faith!  Modern AChristians@ have such a distorted idea of Afaith@ that they substitute their own ideas for Afaith.@  Today, it has become such a diluted idea that it means little more than AI believe in Jesus, therefore I=m saved.@  Talk about ignorance combined with self-flattery and self-deception!  They neither obey His Law nor are they aware of His presence!  It is a faith without practice!   Actually, from these faithless, His Spirit has willingly departed! 

“Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.  But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead/” --  James 2:19,20.

Vanity indeed!  We are witness to a form of Christianity which touts that salvation comes by faith only – a “faith” that works no charity!  We pat ourselves on the back because we “believe in Jesus” and do absolutely nothing to follow His example...and some of us even mock His commandments.

Ernest L. Martin, in his booklet entitled, AThe Divine Titles,@ has this to say:

AIt is important to recognize the Name by which the Father of the universe is denominated.  There is really nothing mysterious about His identity from the point of view of Scripture because his Name is used about 7000 times in the Old Testament alone.  It is not AGod@ or ALord@ alone (elohim, theos or kyrios which can refer to many lesser and even evil beings), but His actual Name is revealed in Scripture by four Hebrew letters which transliterates into English as YHWH, whom theologians today recognize as AYahweh.@   He is the Supreme Elohim over all other elohim (gods), theoi (gods) or kyrioi (lords).  This name is of far more esteem than AChrist@ (Anointed One) because even human beings who were anointed priests in the Old Testament were called AMessiahs@ or AChrists@ (e.g. Num. 35:25).  But in the Scripture there is only one Yahweh B who is the Supreme God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  He is also the head over all things and is the one and only true Deity from whom all things exist and consist.@  B p. 9.

On page 13:

Or, as I interpret these things:  Wisdom is transmitted to us when we requite His Love back to Him.  Once we Israelites recognize the spark of Divinity within each other and LOVE ONE ANOTHER accordingly – and this necessarily means in terms of actions, not just words and beliefs -- then and only then will the Kingdom manifest itself in our midst.  And full comprehension of the meaning of His Name infuses us with the requisite awe and gratitude that our lowly human status require if we are to appreciate His grandeur and His Love.  That is why we must approach Him in all humility, for we are mere specks on a planet, or, as the song by Kansas says, Adust in the wind.@  For me, using the I AM is a constant reminder to me of the actual Presence of God in my being: that I AM made of His Substance and that I live in Him and breathe in Him.  When we forget this intimate connection with Him, we get lost in our own self-importance and we sink into materialism.

What=s in a name, you ask?

One of the most important treatises on the subject of the Sacred Names is a booklet entitled AThe Mistaken J.@  It is the story of how the letter J entered into the English language.  The opening paragraphs say this:

The story of the AMistaken J@ goes on to explain how the letter J was incorporated into the English language around 1500 AD.  Before then, English employed the same sound for J as other languages do, namely, the y sound.  Up until then, even the English people referred to Jesus as Iesus (pronounced Yay-Soos).  If you look at the earliest copies of the King James Bible, you will see His name spelled I-e-s-u-s.  (The complete text of “The Mistaken J” can be accessed at http://www.ynca.com/Mini%20Studies/mistaken_j.htm.)

But even Iesus is, as the authors point out, a Latinized version of a Greek transliteration of a Hebrew name.  The name, Jesus, therefore, is thrice removed from the original, which is Yahshua.

Now, the name Yahshua has a very specific meaning.  It means AYAHWEH SAVES.@  Does the word >Jesus= mean that to you?  If not, then I suggest getting familiar with His REAL NAME, Yahshua, because His real name is intimately tied to the Father, Yahweh, in His aspect as THE MESSIAH, the saving presence of God.

There is indeed Asomething about the name@ Jesus.  But for many people who call themselves Christians, it is just an emotional experience: a giddy high that may last a few years.  But when the importance of obedience to Yah=s Law and the full impact of Yahshua=s supreme sacrifice are realized, that giddy high is seen to be an illusion.  Christianity, first and foremost, is RESPONSIBILITY to one=s brethren.  Do all of the Churchians sitting in the twenty-thousand seat auditoriums, listening to the “Gospel of Self-Help, Self-Aggrandizement and Personal Gratification” through milquetoast preachers, come away with a sense of greater responsibility to love and respect their brethren?  True Christianity is the Gospel of TOUGH LOVE.  We must demand that we love each other by OBEYING YAHWEH=S LAW.  We cannot hold each other to any lower standard.  Anything short of this is mediocre religion…and backsliding towards another fall.

It has been objected that Yahshua Himself never used the name of Yahweh.  This is not exactly true.  There are a few instances in which He did.  We have to remember that when the Father  divorced us, He temporarily departed from us; and we henceforth forgot His Name.  We also have to bear in mind that the Masoretes and other translators have done their level best to obscure the Sacred Names.  So, before I quote the relevant New Testament passages, I would like to quote from the Introduction of Joseph Rotherham=s translation of the Bible.  Under the heading of  AThe Name Suppressed,@ he tells us:

A...the Tetragrammaton is nearly hidden in our public English versions.  Not quite.  To those who can note the difference between ALORD@ and ALord@ and between AGOD@ and AGod,@ and can remember that the former (printed with SMALL CAPITALS) do while the latter do not stand for The Name B to such [people] an intimation of the difference is conveyed.  But although the READER who looks carefully at his book can see the distinction, yet the mere HEARER remains completely in the dark respecting it, inasmuch as there is no difference whatever in sound between ALORD@ and ALord@ or AGOD@ and AGod.@  It hence follows that in nearly all the occurrences of The Name (some 7,000 throughout the Old Testament) the especial Name of God is absolutely withheld from all who simply hear the bible read.  ANearly all,@ for there are about half a dozen instances in the A.V., and a few more in the R.V., in which this concealment does not take place.  In other words there are these very few places in which the Tetragrammaton appears as AJehovah@; and although it may be asked, AWhat are they among so many?@ still their presence has an argumentative value.  If it was wrong to unveil the Tetragrammaton at all, then why do it in these instances?  If, on the other hand, it was right to let it be seen in these cases, then why not in all?  With the exceptions explained, however, it remains true to say, that in our public versions the one especial Name of God is suppressed, wholly concealed from the listening ear, almost as completely hidden from the hastening or uncritical eye.@

So, my answer to the question AWhy is the Tetragrammaton not found in the New Testament?@ is this: The question is naive.  It is asked by someone who is unaware of the historical tampering that has occurred in the Scriptures with the deliberate intent to obscure the Sacred Names, Yahweh and Yahshua.  Those who have deleted them from the Old Testament would surely work feverishly to delete them from the New Testament; and they have succeeded.  Nevertheless, let us look at a couple of instances in which the I AM occurs in the New Testament:

In the eighth Chapter of John, the Jews accuse Jesus of having a devil after He tells them that they are not of God.

ANow we know thou hast a devil.  Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.  Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? [These comments prove that the Pharisees do not believe in Eternal Life.]  And the prophets are dead:  whom makest thou thyself? Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honoreth me; of whom ye say, that he is your god; Yet ye have not known Him; but I know Him: and if I should say I know Him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know Him and keep His saying.  Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.  Then said the Jews to Him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? [These Jews here display an utter lack of spiritual consciousness, implying that the only way He could possibly have known Abraham is to have been in the flesh for hundreds of years!]  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.@  B  John 8:52-58.

Here, with the expression, I AM, Yahshua is declaring His eternity.  Since He is one with the Father, He is life everlasting.  That quality is, of course, part of the meaning of I AM THAT I AM.  AI AM the eternally self-creating Being.@  Or, as Jesus puts it in the book of Revelation: AI AM Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.@

At Matthew, Chapter 22, Yahshua asks, AHave you not read that...

I AM [capitalization in the text] the god of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?  God is not the god of the dead, but of the living.@  B Verse 32.

Again, Yahshua is quite literally expressing His Oneness with the Father, Yahweh, and His own eternity.  This eternal life, by the way, is available to all of us who Akeep His sayings.@  Most others don=t take His sayings very seriously.

Of the numerous instances in which the word >Lord= is used in the New Testament, you will note that many of them are written in ALL CAPS: LORD.  Examples are Matt. 3:4; 3:10 and 23:39.  This is the Tetragrammaton staring you right in the face, if you have eyes to see, but well disguised, as Joseph Rotherham so eloquently expressed above.  Because of the failure of both the House of Judah and the House of Israel to obey Yah=s Law, the use of His Name gradually fell into disuse because of their reprobate status.  This means that they were ashamed to use the Sacred Name because they had used it so often in vain, not that the Sacred Name was too holy to be pronounced! 

ANot for your sakes do I this, saith Yahweh God, be it known unto you; be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.@ B Ezek. 36:32.

AIf thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee.@  B Deut. 28:15.  Indeed, our world is coming apart at the seams.  Paris, its suburbs, and other towns in France and Europe are burning as I write (November 6, 2005) because we have refused to obey His Commandment not to mix our seed with other races! Now, we are reaping the result.  Tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, and plagues are all around us and we do not see the connection between these judgments and our rebellion against His Law.

We have to remember that in biblical times, people of all races had a much stronger racial  and tribal awareness and loyalty.  Even as late as the 1950's, race-mixing was still taboo even here in America.  The Judahites of the land of Judah were keenly aware of the racial differences between themselves and the non-Israelite Edomites who had taken over their nation when the Roman Empire placed the Idumean Jew, Herod, over the nation of Judea and the House of Judah.  Since these Judahites of the House of Judah knew that they were surrounded by Edomite Jews of either half-breed (like many of the Pharisees) or non-Judahite stock (such as Herod and his allies), they were careful not to use the Sacred Name in front of these heathen. 

AGive not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine. Lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”  (Matt. 7:6.)

This is also why Yahshua spoke in parables, so that the Jews would not be able to understand what He was saying to True Israel.  The Jews, as allies of the Romans against the Judahites, were seeking every opportunity to condemn Jesus for His speech.  The language of the day was Aramaic; and Aramaic was a dialect of Hebrew.  So, when Jesus said “Lord, Lord,” He wasn’t saying “Baal, Baal.”  You can bet He was saying “Yahweh, Yahweh.”

Understand that the Jews have been working for the last 2,000 years to keep us from reuniting with our Father, Yahweh.   They have also been working feverishly to separate us from Jesus Christ through their diabolical religion called “Judeo-Christianity,” which is nothing more than an attempt to substitute Judaism for Christianity.  They have reinstituted this Pharisaic tyranny today, for you cannot criticize their breed or their religion, or their hoaxacaust, without being threatened with imprisonment.  When it comes to “freedom of speech,” the Jews are consummate hypocrites. They can criticize and malign Christians and Germans with impunity, but no one can criticize them, “for fear of the Jews.”  During Christmastime, you can say “Happy Holidays,” but it is becoming more and more “incorrect” to say “Merry Christmas”! 

There is only one solution to this crisis:  White Christendom must return to their God, Yahweh.

In spite of all the evidence presented here, I do not demand that you all start chanting AYahshua, Yahshua, Yahshua@ instead of  AJAYSUS, JAYSUS, JAYSUS, @ as some of the priests of Preachianity like to pronounce it.  This is an extremely personal decision.   It requires a great amount of introspection and humility to overcome one=s upbringing and make a fundamental change in one=s thinking.

If, for  you, the name Jesus conveys the idea AYahweh is Salvation,@ then who am I to say that you should make such a change?  The fact is that I routinely still use the name Jesus affectionately.  But at the same time I understand the value and meaning of the name Yahshua.  Given the multitude of meanings and the nuances of God=s personality, only the name Yahweh is meaningful to me where the Father is concerned.  I only use the word >God= when I am talking about the office that He holds.  In my prayers to Him and in my communications with Identity believers, only >Yahweh= means anything to me.  When I communicate with those who are not familiar with >Yahweh= and >Yahshua,= I do not press the issue.  I humble myself and speak their language so that I can be understood by them.
