NOTE TO READER

This book is not intended to perpetuate the hatred of any group of

people or to promote the superiority of any group of people. However, thepurpose of this book is to present the Truth, with evidence, and toprompt the reader to ask themselves some very serious questions. Itwould be to your advantage to open your heart to the Truth and seekunderstanding of the subject matters that will be discussed. The fact ofthe matter is, the Truth does sometimes hurt, and often, individualsbecome offended by the Truth when it does not support what theybelieve. What is Truth? It is simply stated, The way things are. Whetherwe like it or not, or whether we agree with it or not, is irrelevant. Whenwe believe that we have found Truth, we often stop seeking it, notunderstanding that knowledge and Truth is unlimited.

He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6).

As children and often as adults we believe that people in positions ofauthority in our lives should have the right answers and should lead us

in the truth (i.e. parents, teachers, pastors and politicians). The truth is,they can be wrong and could themselves be deceived. This is all the morereason why we should, if possible, search the truth for ourselves and not

leave important matters open for mere speculation by others.

It is fair to say that at some point in our lives we have all asked ourselvessome basic questions, such as: Is there a creator of the universe? Is theBible truth and should I believe it. If there is a loving creator, then whydo bad things happen to good people? With these questions being askedconstantly, mankind will always come up with some kind of answer to

these questions, whether they are true or false. It is the nature ofmankind to reason within himself and give some type of compellingargument, interpretation or theory on various subjects and try to pass itoff as the truth. As we have previously stated, it is very obvious that even

the most respected people throughout history have been consistentlywrong about many theories, predictions and prophecies.

With all of mankinds many technological and scientific discoveries overthe past centuries, he has failed to find the solutions or answers to someof lifes basic questions and problems. Why is this? Mankind has createdcomputers to help process vast amounts of information, but man cannotcorrectly process his personal problems. Scientists have discovered muchabout the world, but they cannot discover the way to peace. Astronomerscan find beautiful new galaxies throughout the universe, but they cannotfind a way to preserve the beauty of earth. Educators have taught

millions how to earn a living, but not how to live. Theologians havetaught many on how to study religion but they cannot agree on any one.Church leaders presumably teach their congregation what the bible says;yet very few know what the words mean. What is wrong with this

picture? What is missing in our lives? It is obvious that the Truth ismissing. Who will give us the true answers to lifes most important

questions?

We live in a world of confusion. The greatest confusion of all is found inthe area of religion. There are so many different sects and denominationsof every belief system and every one of these groups believe that their

way is the right way. Surely everyone cant be right. Someone has to bewrong. There is only but one truth. Im certain you feel that what youbelieve is the right way. Are you sure? Let us again ask the questions.Why do you believe what you believe? Who told you that? Where did theyget it?

Did you do your own research to see if the things that you are beingtaught to believe are true? Or did you just receive it because it sounds

logical. Or maybe it was just tradition and for generations this is whatyour family has believed. Have you ever really closely examined yourfaith or belief system? If you were to examine it, what would you find?

What if you found inconsistencies, errors and lies? Would it still be theright thing to believe or are you like so many others who are afraid to

question what most people believe is right? Are you afraid to thinkindependently from the masses at the risk of being an outcast, even ifthat very independent thinking brought you to the truth? It is the natureof man to travel the path of least resistance, even if that path is a lie. Wetravel it because it is easier to travel. The truth is very difficult to accept

and most people cannot handle it. Can youhandle the truth? Again I askyou, Can youhandle the truth?

This book will examine some truths about the most controversial

and confusing subjects known to man. The bible, religion and theCreator of the universe. What makes religion so confusing andcontroversial is because man is either not willing to accept the truth ordoes not know what the truth is. Man does not like being told what to do,or that he is wrong. Every man is right in his own eyes, but his ways aretruly foolish. This is evident by the many problems that mankind hasbrought upon himself and the earth, along with mass confusion. Thisbook will examine some ofthe worlds best kept secrets and truths,along with much indisputable evidence in an effort to get the reader toclosely examine what he or she believes and why. After examining severalgreat secrets and unknown truths, it will be much easier to understand

why the Bible tells us in Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon wasthrown out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, whodeceives the whole world. Notice that it does not say some of theworld, or most of the world, but the whole world. What deception(s)could be so great that it would mislead or deceive the whole world? Thisis a powerful statement. Therefore, we must not take it lightly and we

must give it serious attention. Now with this being said, we should alsounderstand why the one known as the apostle Paul wrote,PROVE allthings; hold fast that which is good (1Thessalonians 5:21). Isnt itabout time we test and prove all things? Isnt it time we know why we dowhat we do, or believe what we believe?

In this present age, we have many resources by which we can obtain

information. There are libraries with history books, encyclopedias anddictionaries. We now live in what is called the information age, wheremany books, encyclopedias, essays and articles are available on the

internet, which allows anyone seeking to obtain information on varioussubjects, past or present to obtain it in an instant. The one good thingabout man is that we have a long history of documenting our thoughts,


7/40

ideas and plans. The truth is usually written somewhere if we are willingto take the time to look for it. Someone is going to tell it, and the story

will be passed along to others.

In searching for the truth there is no doubt that we will come across

some very compelling arguments, philosophies, theories and downrightlies. So we must be diligent in our search and be careful not to believe

everything that sounds good. The foundation of all beliefs should be builtupon solid evidence. So I ask you these questions. How much evidencedo you have to support what you believe? How much do you really knowabout the history of the world and the history of your faith system? Doyou fall into that ever-increasing category of people who have failed to

research the things that are professed to be true? Do you know the originof the customs and traditions that you keep? Do your customs andtraditions contradict what you profess to believe? Are you diligent in yourpursuit of truth? These questions should be at the forefront of the minds

of all those who profess to seek truth. We should be reminded that thetruth is not always a feel good story, as some will have us to believe.Remember, the truth hurts and it often contradicts us.

Throughout this book, we will closely examine the Bible and we willprovide some startling information about what is being taught versuswhat is actually written. We will also reveal the origin of many traditionsand secrets that are kept by man and we will look at what the Bible hasto say about them. Many things that are revealed in this book may ormay not come as a surprise to you. We have heard rumors andarguments over the years about many of the following subjects, but

mankind has chosen to avoid the truth for various reasons. Some ofthese reasons are due to deception, ignorance or just plain rebellion.Never the less, we will deal with the truth as it is. With truth beingsuppressed and deception running wild, there is no wonder why the

world is in its present condition with man moving himself towards totaldestruction. It must be said that without mankind embracing truth, he

can never obtain peace nor can he understand the simplicity of life.

Let us speak the truth.

CHAPTER 1

THE TRUE CREATOR

Who is the creator of the universe? According to the Bible as theworld knows it, we are told to honor, glorify, magnify and give praise to

His name. What then is this name that we must honor and praise? Is itGod, Lord, Jehovah, Al- Mighty, The Man upstairs, or is it El, ElShaddai, Elohim, Allah or Adonai. Though He has been called manynames, the question still remains. Are they His true name? TheEncyclopedia Britannica gives us His name under a word called theTetragrammaton. It states the following;

The four Hebrew letters, YHWH, in the name of God. Yahweh. The God of theIsraelites, his name being revealed to Moses as four Hebrew consonants called theTetragrammaton. After the Exile (6

thcentury BC) and especially from the 3

rd

century BC on, the Jews ceased to use the name Yahweh.

And from the Wikipedia Encyclopedia we read;

The Tetragrammaton (Greek: word with four letters) is the usual reference to theHebrew name for God, which is spelled (in the Hebrew alphabet) (yod) (heh) (waw) (heh) or (YHWH). It is the distinctive personal name of the God ofIsrael.

It goes on to say:

Of all the names of God, the one, which occurs the most frequent, is theTetragrammaton, appearing 6,823 times, according to the Jewish Encyclopedia. TheBiblia Hebraica and Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia texts of the Hebrew Scriptureseach contain the Tetragrammaton 6,828 times.

The Encyclopedia Britannica also says:

Each of the major monotheistic world religions worships a Supreme Being, who is

the sole god of the universe, the maker of all things, omniscient and all-powerful.God is also good. In ancient Israel God was named Yahweh. The God of the HebrewBible also became the God of Christianity, but generic words, such as Theos inGreek or Deus in Latin, were often used to refer to him.

Yes people! HIS NAME IS YAHWEH! Spelled YHWH ().The questionnow is, Why do we not hear His name more often? Why dont the manyprofessing believers speak or use the name that we are told to praise and


9/40

honor? Why has His name been historically hidden under a Greek wordcalled the Tetragrammaton? It sure seems like someone is trying to

conceal the name that is above all names. Hmmmm, I wonder who thatcould be?

The truth is, somewhere around the 6th

century B.C.E (Before CommonEra) the Hebrew religious leaders felt the name of YHWH () wasineffable, meaning the name was not to be spoken or read aloud. In the

reading aloud of the scriptures or in prayer, the name YHWH () wasreplaced with Adonai and Elohim or other written or spoken forms whicheventually brought about the creation of the name Jehovah. The history

behind the false name Jehovah has never really been a secret and hasbeen well- published for many years. The Jewish Encyclopedia publishedin 1901 states the following in regards to the name Jehovah:

The name (Yahweh) is commonly represented in modern translations by theform Jehovah, which, however is a philological impossibility.

It also states:

The reading Jehovah is comparatively a recent invention. Jehovah is generally heldto have been the invention of Pope Leo the 10

ths confessor, Peter Galatin (de

Arcanis Catholic Veritates 1518, folio XLIII) who was followed in the use of thishybrid form by Fagius Drusius Van de Driesche. Van de Driesche lived between1550 and 1616. He was the first to ascribe to Peter Galatin the use of Jehovah. Theuse of Jehovah has been accepted since his day.

The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia (1941) says the following about thename Jehovah:

During the middle ages, Christian students of Hebrew mistakenly read the fourconsonants of the Tetragrammaton with the vowels indicating the pronunciation Adonai; they thereby arrived at the form YeHoVaH, which has produced the nameJehovah for God. This name Jehovah, which still survives in Christian Bibletranslations and Christian prayer books, is actually a mistransliteration, and theword itself meaningless.

The Encyclopedia Judaica also says:

In the early Middle Ages, when the consonantal text of the bible was supplied withvowel points for Adonai with one variation-a sheva with the first yod of YHWHinstead of the hataf-patah under the aleph of Adonai-were used for YHWH, thusproducing the form YeHoWaH. When Christian scholars of Europe first began tostudy Hebrew, they did not understand what this really meant, and they introducedthe hybrid name Jehovah


10/40

The Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia also states:

Jehovah, name of the God of the Hebrew people as erroneously transliterated fromthe Masoretic Hebrew text. The word consists of the consonants JHVH or JHWH,with the vowels of a separate word, Adonai. What its original vowels were is a

matter of speculation, for because of an interpretation of such texts as Exodus 20:7and Leviticus 24:11, the name came to be regarded as too sacred for expression; thescribes, in reading aloud, substituted Lord and therefore wrote the vowelmarkings for Lord into the consonantal framework JHVH as a reminder tofuture readers aloud. The translators of the Hebrew, not realizing what the scribeshad done, read the word as it was written down, taking the scribal vowel markingsas intrinsic to the name of their God rather than as a mere reminder not to speak it.From this came the rendition Jehovah.

There are many other referencesthat could be given but I think thepoint is well made.Contrary tomany beliefs, the name Jehovah ismeaningless and has no place in the

word of truth. Anyone willing toresearch this name and its originwill surely find the truth. Sadlyenough, many groups have evenbased their entire faith system

around this and other false names.

What about the other names thatare used, such as God and Lord.Could god really be His name, whenthere are so many gods? Would Henot distinguish himself from allthese other fonies? Would the MostHigh allow His personal name to belooked upon in such a generic way?If you were to ask a thousandprofessing believers about the origin

and history of the word God, theyprobably could not tell you where itoriginated or what its origininalmeaning is.

Yet people continue to speak words without ever knowing their origin ormeaning. This is called etymology. The Encyclopedia Britannica defines

Etymology as:

The history of a linguistic form (as a word) shown by tracing its development since

its earliest recorded occurrence in the language where it is found, by tracing itstransmission from one language to another, by analyzing it into its component parts,by identifying its cognates in other languages, or by tracing it and its cognates to acommon ancestral form in an ancestral language

The word God is believed to have been passed to the English languagefrom the Indo-Germanic language and it is also believed to be the nameof a pagan diety. Tracing its etymology(origin/history) is difficult, yetvarious sources shows its roots in the names of pagan dieties. TheEncyclopedia Wikepedia says, in an article on the etymology of the wordGod:

The word Godcontinues Old Englishgod(gu, gudis in Gothic,gudin modernScandinavian and Gott in modern German), from Proto-Germanic *Guan. Theoriginal meaning and etymology of the Germanic wordgodhas been hotly disputed,though most agree to a reconstructed Proto-Indo-European form *khutm, which isthe neuter passive perfect participle of the root *khu-, which likely meant"libation", "sacrifice". The origin of the word Godalso comes from the PersianLanguage in the form ofkhoda orkhuda, which was then used by other Indo-European tribes in the form ofgudda :

Tamil Kadavul= "god".

Persian khoda,khuda = "god". Vedic Sanskrit hu- = "to sacrifice," "to invoke the gods". Greek khu-,kheu- = "to pour". Punjabi- Waheguru (see Mool Mantar) Common Germanic strong verb *geutan (Anglo-Saxongotan) = "to pour",

English in-got.

The connection between these meanings is likely via the meaning "pour a libation."Another possible meaning of*khutm is "invocation," related to Sanskrithta.

The same root appears in the names of three related Germanic tribes, the Geats, the

Goths and the Gutar. These names may be derived from an eponymous chieftainGaut who was subsequently deified. He also sometimes appears in early Medievalsagas as a name of Odin or one of his descendants, a former king of the Geats(Gaut(i)), an ancestor of the Gutar (Guti), of the Goths (Gothus) and of the royal lineof Wessex (Geats) and as a previous hero of the Goths (Gapt). The Lombardic formof Odin, Godan, may derive from cognate Proto-Germanic *Gunaz.


12/40

The word Godwas used to represent Greek Theos, LatinDeus in Bible translations,first in the Gothic translation of the New Testament by Ulfilas. For the etymology ofdeus, see*dyeus. Greektheos is probably unrelated, and of uncertain origin. DeSaussure tentatively connected Baltic and Germanic words for "spook," ultimatelycognate with Latinfumus "smoke."

Anyone who is not familiar with the Hebrew language and writingsshould note that it is believed to be the original language of man and iswritten and read from right to left. It would be hard to imagine that onewho is wise enough to create the universe is not wise enough not to giveHimself even a generic title that if written or read from right to left in anylanguage is DOG. Think About That.

What then are we saying when we use the word Lord? The word Lord isderived from the name Baal. The Wikipedia Encyclopedia says underBaal:

Baal is a Semitic title and honorific meaning lord that is used for various gods,spirits and demons particularly of the Levant. In Hindi the word means hair. Baalcan refer to any god or even to human officials; in some mythological texts it is usedfor Hadad, a god of the sun, rain, thunder, fertility and agriculture and the lord ofheaven.

The Unger's Bible dictionary, also says under BAAL:

Baal -"Common Canaanite Word for Master, Lord, was one of the chief maledeities of the Canaanite Pantheon."

The Encyclopedia Encarta also gives us information on Baal.

Baal (Hebrewba'al, from the Phoenicianba'al, owner, lord), among ancientSemitic peoples, name of innumerable local gods controlling fertility of the soil and

of domestic animals. Because the various Baals were not everywhere conceived as

identical, they may not be regarded as local variations of the same deity. In the

plural,Baalim means idols or Baals collectively.

The nameBaalformed a part of the names of various gods, as Baal-berith (the

lord of the covenant) of the Shechemites, and Baalzebub (the lord of flies) of the

Philistines. The Hebrews learned the worship of Baal from the agricultural

Canaanites.

How can anyone think that they can honor and show respect to theCreator by calling Him by whatever names they want? Yet, out ofignorance, deception or arrogance, many men have done so. Could aman go into his job and call the President or C.E.O of the company JoeBastard if his name is John Doe. Would a man go into his church orplace of worship and call the Pastor or leader by any perverted name he


13/40

13

chose to? Probably not. Then why would any professing believer give lessrespect to the Heavenly Father? Whenever a believer speaks the words

Lord and God as if they are speaking of or to the Creator, knowing orunknowing they have shown great disrespect. Though the head of anyorganization may have many titles, they have only one name, which

identifies their true being.

All of the other titles by which He is called are not names but they aredescriptive and generic sub-titles, such as the title El (Mighty One) andits many variants: El Shaddai (The Almighty), Elion (The Most High) andothers like Eloah, Eloahi, Eloahim and Adonai (My Sovereign). These areall descriptive, generic titles. When a believer says, Thank you Lord or

Praise God. What are they really saying? What god is being giventhanks? Who is being praised? What is His name?

Let us examine the title god from another perspective. Every god has a

personal name; such as Zeus, Apollo, Baal, Jupiter, Buddha, Osiris andAllah. These are all the names of the gods of those who follow them andtheir doctrine, whatever that doctrine might be. If all of these Godshave personal names by which their followers identify them. What then isthe personal name of the God of the bible? Surely He has a name. It isalso evident that it could not be god. So again I ask you, What is Hisname?

There are many people who feel justified by using the title Lord, believingthat Adonai is the proper translation for the word. In the book entitledThe Sacred Name, author R. Clover gives enlightening information on

the proper translations of Adonai (Sovereign) and Lord (Baal).

Adon and Adonai are not properly translated as lord as is so often the case. (Baal)on the other hand, literally means, lord master, hence a husband, or (fig)owner. Baal should be distinguished from adon in that it comes from (aden),meaning, a basis (of a building, a column, etc.): foundation, socket, from which isformed the root meaning to rule, sovereign, i.e. controller. That is, adon is thebasis of the government and therefore the ruler upon which the government rests. ABaal on the other hand is the owner or master of someone or something else.Therefore, Adon (plural Adonai) is best translated into English as sovereign whileBaal means almost the same thing as our English term lord (master, an owner or

possessor of land, houses. etc.)

A good example of how we properly use the name in modern English iswhen we hear the term Land Lord. Therefore this could not be the

personal name of the Most High. We should then understand that theCreator of heaven and earth is Sovereign.

The Encyclopedia Britannica defines Sovereign as:


14/40

14

One that exercises supreme authority: an acknowledged leader: super, above,superlative in quality, excellent. One of the most exalted kind: supreme.

What does the Bible have to say about calling YHWH ()by this name?

How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesylies? Yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;Which think to cause my people to forget my name by theirdreams, which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathershave forgottenmy name for Baal (Jeremiah 23: 26-27)

The Prophet Jeremiah gave a warning that the unfaithful interpretersand scribes would do this practice of altering the scriptures.

How can you say: We are wise, and the Law of YHWH is with us?

Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood.

(Jeremiah 8:8)

By concealing the name of the creator, YHWH (), mankind hashindered the ability of many to obtain the key to scriptural knowledgeand understanding. This is the very reason why the Messiah harshlycriticized the religious leaders of his day by saying:

"Woe to you learned in the Torah, because you took away the key ofknowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who wereentering in you hindered." (Luke 11:52)

At sometime during the second century B.C.E, the Hebrew leaders began

to think that the name YHWH () was not to be spoken by any commonman and only the High Priest were allowed to speak it at certain times. Itwas considered profane for anyone to be found speaking the sacredname. It is believed by scholars, that the ban on the use of the sacred

name YHWH (), came as a result of extreme misguided respect for thename. It is also believed that the reason behind this action was based onExodus 20:7 which says in part You shall not take the name of YHWH

() your Elohim in vain, and in Leviticus it says in part, You shall notprofane My Holy name. These commandments together brought about

great fear of the misuse of the sacred name. It was then decided by thosesame leaders that the name was to be hidden and kept secret.Thisdoctrine was later adopted by the many Hebrew converts and then latercarried into to all areas of the Judeo-Christian belief systems.

Though there are many compelling arguments as to why the name of

YHWH () is being concealed but none of them are valid. There is not asingle scripture which prohibits those who believe, from calling Him by


15/40

15

His name.The Hebrews called upon His Name in Genesis 12:8 and 13:4and 21:33. Abraham called the place in Moriah "Yahweh Yireh", which

means Yahweh Will Provide (Genesis 22:14). Some will say that we arenot Hebrew and dont speak the Hebrew language, we speak (English,Spanish, French, etc. etc.). The truth is, it doesnt matter what language

you speak, names should not be translated! Anyone and everyone canpronounce the name Yahweh (). Besides, any teacher of language willtell you that names should not be translated! Your name is your namewherever you go. Some also argue that the true pronunciation has beenlost over the years. Others might say that they are trying to preserve thecommandment that tells us not to use His name in vain. This too isridiculous. People will come up with many excuses in order to justifytheir actions and ignorance. The fact still remains, that there is noscriptural evidence for any of these beliefs and what we do find in thescriptures contradicts this reasoning.

My people shall know My name (Isaiah 52:6)

And those who know Your name will put their trust in You (Psalm9:10)

I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known myname (Psalm 91:14)

A book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear

YHWH (), and meditate on His name. (Malachi 3:16)

My mouth shall speak the praise of YHWH (), and all flesh shallbless His holy name forever and ever. (Psalm 145:21)

And in the New King James Version, it reads:

Sing to God,Sing praises to his name;Extol him, who rides on the clouds,By His name YAH,

And rejoice before him.(Psalm 68:4)

The scriptures began to come alive when the true names are in place.Now we know the name of the one that the Bible tells us that we should

give praise, honor and glory to.

From the creation of the world and even now, everything that exists hasa name. This is the only way we can distinguish one thing or person fromanother. The Creator has given Himself a name by which we can identify


16/40

16

him. The name YHWH () means to be and he exists, oftentranslated to the eternal. All names have significant value and

meaning. This was very prevalent in the Hebrew language and culturewhere names were associated with ones duty, purpose, fame, authority

and character. As with the name of YHWH (), the names of many of

his servantsand prophets have meaning and purpose. Hebrew nameswere often compound names and the meanings of the names oftenformed phrases or even full sentences and thus carried great significanceas many scholars will attest to. G.T. Manley of Christs College inCambridge writes:

A study of the word name (q.v.) in the Old Testament reveals how much it meansin Hebrew. The name is no mere label but is significant of the real personality ofhim whom it belongs.

The Eardmans Bible Dictionary says:

Gods self-revelation in history is underscored by the giving of his name, in Semeticthought tantamount to disclosure of his true character.

It also says:

The name conveys the authority of the person even when absent. To speak or act inanothers name is to participate in that persons authority (1 Sam. 17:45; 25:9 Acts4:7). The principle is that of prophecy and revelation (Exod. 3:13-14; Deut 18:19;John 5:43). Gods name reveals his character and salvation in which people may takerefuge (Ps. 20:1 (MT); cf. Isa. 25:1; 56:6); to treat Gods name as empty is to despisehis person (Exod. 20:7).

The above information tells us that to act as if YHWHs name doesntexist is to despise him. We are also reminded that if we speak or act inanother persons name, this is to particpate in that persons authority.Whos authority are you participating in? Do you know? Hmmmm!

The Interpreters Dictionary of The Bible states:(please note the underlined words)

The name of God is the key to understanding the biblical doctrine of God. Inbiblical terms the religious question is not: Does God exist? But: Who is our God?Just as an introduction to a person involves a disclosure of his personal name, so

Gods self-revelation in history is accompanied by the giving of his personal name,by which his people may worship and address him as Thou. Thus Gods namesignifies the personal relation between God and people, which is the supremecharacteristic of biblical faith.

When you see Lord thy God, in your Bible, it is properly written in theoriginal text as YHWH your Eloahim (deity). The variations of El (Elshaddai, Eloah, Elohi and Eloahim, etc.) and their meanings have been


17/40

17

merged into the single word, God, in the English language. The nameYHWH and the variations of El were interchanged in the scriptures with

Lord and God. With this being revealed, we should then know that itwould be almost impossible for mankind to have a clear understanding ofthe Bible in its modern form. This practice of deception has brought

about great confusion to those seeking to understand what the Bible issaying and who is being spoken to. Therefore, we must be very careful

when translating or transliterating names and words from one languageand culture to another. In doing so, we arrive at different names,meanings and messages which causes us not to recognize the original.To alter and minipulate names or words in a message will ultimatelybring about confusion to those on the receiving end of that message.

One very important key to unlocking this web of confusion is tounderstand how we received the Bible. The Torah (Old Testament) wasoriginally written in Hebrew and then translated into Greek. The

Messianic Scriptures (called the New Testament) were written in Hebrewand Aramaic. There are many disputes over the true language in whichthe New Testament was written. This part was then translated intoGreek. A Latin version was translated from the Greek, by which most ofthe early versions of the Bible were based. From Hebrew and Aramaic toGreek to Latin to English and other languages, we have arrived at massconfusion. The integrating and mixing of languages, customs, traditions,superstitions and pagan worship has caused those seeking to

understand the Bible, to not know the name of YHWH (), the truenames of his messengers or the true message. Without embracing the

truth of the absense of the name YHWH ()and its importance tosalvation and understanding the Bible, man will never have completeunderstanding of the scriptures, which will continue to cause those towhom the scriptures speak, to be mislead and deceived.

The scriptures were written in parables, riddles and prophecies whichcame from a spiritual source and can only be revealed to believers by the

spirit of that source. That source is YHWH (). Those who believe inthe scriptures must also believe that He will give understanding and

truth to those who seek it.

A wise man will hear and increase learning,And a man of understanding will attain wise council,To understand a proverb and an enigma,

The words of the wise and the riddles.

The fear of YHWH () is the beginning of knowledgeBut fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:5-7)

And again He Says:


18/40

18

Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to

understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those justdrawn from the breasts?For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon

line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.

Will you reject wisdom, knowledge and truth? Will you reject that whichis being revealed to you at this moment in time, or will you continue onyour path of tradition?

Many men will argue and debate over these things and say, We are not

Hebrew or Aramaic and will continue to hold on to their traditions andcontinue to say Lord and God by which their true ignorance is displayed.They will say that what they believe has worked for them so far. If this istrue, then we may say, We are not ancient pagan Greeks or Latin and in

these interpretations we have found many errors, inconsistencies anddeliberate deceptions. Just ask yourself one question. Why is the name

of YHWH () hidden under a Greek word called the Tetragrammaton?Would the average believer even know to research this word? This aloneis worth questioning. The Bible does not lead us to believe that He has

revealed His name and then again, concealed it. Man alone has createdthe concept that the Creator has many names. Can man not distinguish

the difference between a title and a name. If He has revealed Himself as

YHWH (), then that is His name. Why would He change it? He saysthat He does not change (Malachi 3:6). Who then gave man the authorityto change His name? According to the scriptures, He is consistent, andby changing His name, this would make Him inconsistent. Only man isinconsistent. Remember, if He is the Almighty of the Hebrew, then He isthe Almighty of the Bible, and if you believe in the Almighty of the bible,

then He is your Almighty, and YHWH () is his name. Please know thatYHWH (), the Father, would not confuse his children by giving himselfmultiple names. Yet on the other hand, man and his many philosophiesis known to complicate even the most simple things.

It is truly amazing when you see and hear the response of individuals

when the name YHWH () is spoken to those who are familiar with it.

It is even more amazing as to how many professing believers that havenever even heard of the Heavenly Fathers name. When one choses not tofollow the majority and refuses to speak the names Lord and God, he orshe suddenly runs the risk of being looked upon as being strange or asbeing apart of some cult or sacred name group. Anyone who dares toopenly question what mainstream believers practice and teach willusually be looked upon as being under adversarial influence. This too is

proven by history. The truth is, those who are ignorant of the name

YHWH () as well as those who rebel against the use of it are the onesthat are lost and deceived. Let no one deceive you. All one has to do is

take the time to search for the truth.

The best way to research the truth, is to examine the various arguments

of the many religious groups and their denomonations and then comparethem to what the Bible and historical records actually say. If you were tolook in the various encyclopedias, history books and dictionaries andthen ask yourself and others, why do most believers not know thesetruths? Why has the name of the Creator been concealed? The overallplan was to conceal the name so it would not be spoken. If you dontknow it, you cant speak it. If you cant speak it, you cant prove it. If youcant prove it, you cant trust it. If there is plan of deception, then whatwould be more deceiving than to conceal the name of the Creator andreplace it with pagan names such as Lord, God and Jehovah. WOW! Canyou see the plan of deception working?

It would be extremely difficult for those who presumably teach othersabout truth to turn from their traditional ways. To do so would be anadmission of ignorance and would then cause those who follow them toquestion their ability to lead. Therefore, it would be much easier to

discredit the truth and persuade those who follow them to do so blindlywithout ever proving the words they speak. In the same light, it is also

easier for those who are following to disregard truth and continue tofollow blindly. Accepting truth usually means, we must change, and thatis often quite difficult. Again, it is the nature of man to travel the path of

least resistance.

The Bible places great emphasis on knowing and trusting in the name of

YHWH (). It also speaks of how His people will not know His nameand many will despise it. Solomon even asks the question:

What is His name, and what is His Sons name, If you know?(Proverbs 30:4)

If billions of people knew, what then would be the point in asking?Hmmmm.

Will puffed up pride or tradition continue to cause professing believers tospeak false names? Will persuasive words by rebellious leaders who will

quickly justify and give compelling arguments, continue to lead peopleaway from truth? Who will seek truth in this generation?

The great name Yahweh, the creator of the universe, is by far the worldsbest kept secret.

CHAPTER 2

THE TRUE MESSIAH

The information that will be revealed in this chapter will undoubtedly beone of most shocking and controversial of all the the subjects that arecontained in this book. The title of this book is called, Let The Truth BeTold. The book was given this title because it is time to tell the truth.We can no longer allow those who seek truthto walk in darkness andcontinue to believe the lies the world has perpetuated for centuries.Dont worry! This is not an effort to sway you into following any group oranyone. This book is about truth. Once the evidence is examined, youwill be able to draw your own conclusions. If the evidence does not

appeal to the spirit of truth that is within you, then Im sure your

common sense will prevail. If you love what you believe more thanyou love truth, thenyou arealready doomed. Therefore, keep an openmind. Remember, the truth will be, and it does not need you. Do youneed truth? Let us now continue with the truth.

Who is the messiah that the Bible speaks of? We know the OldTestament spoke of his coming and gave some specific details of hisidentity, life and purpose. The messianic scriptures (New Testament) isabout his life and teachings. This very subject has brought division and

confusion among those whose very belief system is founded on the OldTestament as it is with Judaism, Christianity and the Islamic faith. Tothe majority of those who believe in the messianic scriptures (NewTestament), the messiah is called by the name and title, Jesus Christ.Upon this name, Christianity was formed. Several billion Christiansworldwide profess that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God. Sincewe now know the word God was a false substitution for the name YHWH

() and Elohim in the Bible, we then have to ask the questions. IsJesus the son of YHWH? (). And is the son of YHWH () namedJesus? One thing we know for sure is that the messiah of the Bible was aHebrew.

As we have revealed in the previous chapter, it was very common in theHebrew culture to have compound names with prophetic meanings.

These names in some instances were called theophoric names. TheEncyclopedia Wikepedia defines a Theophoric name:

A theophoric name (Greek: "bearing a deity") embeds the name of a god, bothinvoking and displaying the protection of that deity.


21/40

21

It also states in the same article;

Theophoric names were also exceedingly common in the Ancient Near East andMesopotamia, where the personal name of an individual included the name of a godin whose care the individual is entrusted.

The name of the Israelite deity YHWH (usually shortened to Yah or Yahu) appearsin many theophoric names of the First Temple Period. This practice of naming isnot limited to ancient Israel or Judah but has been a common practice of manycultures.(cf., e.g., the Hebrew Yedid-yahu, i.e., YHWH has loved,).

As we can see from the above article, theophoric/compound names werevery prevalent in the Hebrew culture. To further prove this point, we willprovide you with a Strongs Theophoric name table.

their meanings along with the modern English spelling.

YAHUSHUA vs. Joshua- The name Yahushua means Yahweh isSalvation or Yahu Saves.

YESHAYAHU vs. Isaiah- YeshaYah means Yahweh is Rescuer

YIRMEYAHU vs. Jeremiah- YirmeYah means Yahweh sends.

YAHZEQEL vs. Ezekiel- Yahzeqel means Yahweh is my strengthor Yahweh is my mighty one

MIKAHYAH vs. Micah- MikahYah means Who is Like Yahweh

NEHEMYAH vs. Nehemiah- NehemYah means Comfort of Yahweh

TSEPHANYAH vs. Zephaniah-TsephanYah means Yahweh HasHidden

ZEKERYAH vs. Zechariah- ZekerYah means Yahweh Remembers

MATTITHYAH vs. Matthew- MattithYah means Gift of Yahweh

YAHN vs. Mark- Yahn means Given of Yahweh

YAHONNAN vs. John- Yahannan means Yah Has Been Favorable

It is clearly evident that all of these theophoric names have something in

common. That is, they all give glory to the name of Yahweh(). We

should carefully observe how the names of the servants of Yahweh ()have been transliterated into the English language. After examining thesenames we are still left with the question. Is Jesus the name of the only

begotten son of Yahweh ()? We must now closely examine the name ofJesus and the title Christ to see if in fact this is the name believers are tocall upon for salvation. Again I ask you, Can you handle the truth? Letus now examine the origin of the name Jesus.

In an article entitled Origin of the Name of Jesus Christ, the CatholicEncyclopedia says about the name Jesus: (note the underlined words)

The word Jesus is the Latin form of the Greek Iesous, which in turn is thetransliteration of the Hebrew Jeshua, or Joshua, or again Jehoshua meaningJehovah is salvation.

The New Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 7, pages 970-971 tells us of thename Jesus:


23/40

23

Jesus (The Name) in English the name Jesus is a transliteration of the Latin formIesus, which represents the Greek form Ihsouz of the Hebrew name Yesua.

Now we will examine the title Christ as it is defined in the CatholicEncyclopedia:

The word Christ, Christos, the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew wordmessias,meaning anointed.

In the same article it goes on to speak of the period in which the wordwas being translated, and it says:

But at this stage the Greeks and Romans understood little or nothing about theimport of the word anointed; to them it did not convey any sacred conception.

It also says:

The pagans made little or no effort to learn anything accurate about Christ and theChristians.

Before we continue with this subject, we must first understand that inthe Hebrew alphabet, language and writings there is no letter J or Jsound or any equivalent. Furthermore, in the English language, the letterJ was one of the last letters to be invented and it did not exist until the1600s. This allows us to understand that all of the names previouslyprovided that have the letter J, should have the letter Ybefore being

transliterated, as you can see from the theophoric name table.

After examining the above information and the origin of the name Jesusand the title Christ, we are now left to ask some very serious questions.What name are believers to call upon for salvation, as it is told in theBible? By what name will those who believe, be healed? What is the

name that the servants of YHWH (),are supposed to perform the greatworks that are spoken of in the scriptures?

According to the evidence that has been provided, we know that Jesuswas not the name that the messiah was born with. His name has alsobeen altered or transliterated as some would say. Besides, Jesus is not a

Hebrew name. It is a Greek name, and most people with the namespelled J-e-s-u-s, dont pronounce it in the same manner. It ispronounced HEY-SOOS, or HEY- ZEUS. Is Jesus a theophoric name? Ifnot, then who is Zeus? Oh, thats right; he is the Greek pagan god. Nextquestion. How often does the letter S make the Z sound as in Jezus?Hmmmm! Next question. Why was his name changed from Iesous toIesus, as it was written in the original 1611 King James version of theBible? Why was it changed from Ihsouz to Iesous? Oh yes, now I


24/40

24

remember. This all came about as the name was being altered from onelanguage to another to another which should leave us with great

suspicions. What about the Hebrew name Yeshua? We know that thisname does not give any glory to Yahweh as does so many other Hebrewservants. Why is this? The messiah was speaking on behalf of His Father

and it was foretold that He would come in His Fathers name. After all,they were united as one in heaven. So why would He not have some part

of His Fathers name. Does Yeshua or Yehoshua give glory to Yahweh?Even His title messiah has the Yah sound and in Hebrew it would beMeshaiYah. Even the word Halleluiah has the Yah sound. In Chapter 1of The Tetragrammaton and the Christian Greek Scriptures, under theheading: THE PRONUNCIATION OF GOD'S NAME it states:

The issue of pronunciation of God's name may best be summarized by astatement from Insight on the Scriptures, Volume 2, page 6:

Hebrew Scholars generally favor "Yahweh" as the most likely pronunciationThey point out that the abbreviated form of the name is Yah, as in theexpression Halelu-Yah (meaning "Praise Yah, you people!").

Many people have been saying Hallelu-YAH for years not knowing that

they are giving praise to Yah. So again we ask the question. Who doesYeshua give glory to? According to The Hebraic Tongue Restored, byFabre dOlivet, page 462, it tells us that the Hebrew word shua comesfrom the Hebrew word yasha which means to serve as a safeguard; whichpreserves. Also, according to the Hebrew-English Lexicon of the OldTestament, by Brown, Driver and Briggs, page 447, the word yasha

means deliverance, rescue, salvation and also safety and welfare. What isalso observed is that The Catholic Encyclopedia tells us in the articleOrigin of the Name of Jesus Christ, the name Yeshua means Jehovah isSalvation. This presents a real problem for anyone that has understoodanything that has been previously revealed. Jehovah does not exist! Thisname was the invention of some very deceived and rebellious translatorsduring the middle ages. How can He be Jehovahs salvation if Jehovahdoes not exist? Once again we have to say, Hmmmm. There is somethingvery strange going on here. Lets get this straight. According to those whotell us that Jesus is the messi-YAH, he was first Yeshua or Yehoshua(Yehovah or Jehovah is salvation), then he was Ihsouz or Iesous to the

Greeks and Romans and then shortened to Iesus, and after the inventionof the letter J, he then became Jesus which sounds like Je-Zeus. WOW!

Once again, this is not an effort to persuade anyone to believe anything.Just look at the facts. What does the evidence say, or are believerssupposed to have blind faith and not question the motives of corruptancient pagan leaders. Ask your church leader to explain these strangecoincidences. Im sure you will be given a compelling theory to explain

this.


25/40

To show further evidence of the many conflicting explanations of the

name Jesus, we will examine another article with the title Names andtitles of Jesus in the New Testament. Please note the underlined words.

There arehundreds of explanations as to where the name 'Jesus' came from, andevenmore explanations as to what the name means. What we do know for sure isthat it originates from theHebrew[yehoshua`]. Breaking the name down, wesee that there are two parts: [yahu], the theophoric reference to the deityYahweh, and the three letter root . Due todisputes over how to render lexically there are a number of generally accepted phrases this combination cantranslate to:

"Yahweh saves" "Yahweh is salvation" "Yahweh is [my] help"

"Yahweh (is) a saving-cry"

Again, all the above translations are making a referecne to the deityYahweh. Does Yehoshua or Yeshua have any part of Yah or Yahu? Letscontinue with the article.

During the Exile to Babylon where the vernacular language of the Jewish peopleshifted from Hebrew to Aramaic, [yehoshua`]underwent amorphologicalchange into the form [yeshua`]. Theophoric references, where inHebrew wouldusually come in the form of[yah] or [yahu], in some dialects of Aramaic were

[ya']. This shortening also allowed for someconfusion, as the 3rd person

imperfect form of [shua`] (to save) is ,allowing theAramaic name to take onthe meaning "He will save."(On whose behalf is He doing the saving?)

From Greek, [Isous]movedinto Latin with the authorship of the LatinVulgate. Themorphological jump this time was notas large asprevious changesbetween language families. [Isous] quickly assimilated intoIesus [Iesus],where it stood for many centuries.

Near the end ofMiddle English, the vowels changed during the Great Vowel Shift inthe 15th century, and the letter 'J' was first distinguished from 'I' by the FrenchmanPierre Ramus in the 16th, but did not become common in Modern English until the

17th century. As such we can see that such works as the first edition of theKingJames Version of the Bible in 1611 continues to the name with an I.

Finally, after thousands of years andseverallanguages later, the namefinally cameto rest as the Modern English "Jesus

Lets examine the the original 1611 King James version and see howthese names were originally written.


26/40

26

As you can see, in verse 27 the name Elizeus was written instead of the

prophet Elias, which is Elisha. This was eventually changed. Hmmmm! Itwas very common to see the prophets being called Zeus in the earlytranslations of the Bible. The later translations eventually correctedthese references.


27/40

27

What is even more interesting is if we look in the New King JamesVersion of the Bible in Romans 16, we can see a host of Greek/Roman

gentile names that all have something in common. Such as names like;Epaentus, Andronicus, Urbanus, Aristobulus, Narcissus, Rufus,Asyncritus, Philologus, Nereus, Lucius, Tertius, Gaius, Erastus,

Quartus, and of course they all have something in common with Jesus.Can you see the similarities? It seems the name Jesus has more in

common with the gentiles than it does with the Hebrew. Hmmmm!

What are we to conclude from this evidence? We do know that the Greekswere pagans and their chief diety was named Zeus. Could it be that intheir translations of the scriptures they would not give any glory to the

Most High of the Hebrew people? It is a known fact that in the GreekReligion, salvation was of Zeus. The Greek culture also had theophoricnames that gave glory to the gods Zeus and Apollo and so on. This isevident in the names of the Greeks. In an article on Zeus by Ron

Leadbetter it states the following:(please note the underlined words)

Zeus, the youngest son of Cronus and Rhea, he was the supreme ruler of MountOlympus and of the Pantheon of gods who resided there. Being the supreme ruler heupheld law, justice and morals, and this made him the spiritual leader of both godsand men. Zeus was a celestial god, and originally worshiped as a weather god by theGreek tribes. These people came southward from the Balkans circa 2100 BCE. Hehas always been associated as being a weather god, as his main attribute is thethunderbolt, he controlled thunder, lightning and rain. Theocritus wrote circa 265BCE: "sometimes Zeus is clear, sometimes he rains". He is also known to havecaused thunderstorms. In Homer's epic poem theIliadhe sent thunderstorms

against his enemies. The name Zeus is related to the Greek worddios, meaning"bright". His other attributes as well as lightning were the scepter, the eagle and hisaegis (this was the goat-skin of Amaltheia).

Before the abolition of monarchies, Zeus was protector of the king and his family.Once the age of Greek kings faded into democracy he became chief judge andpeacemaker, but most importantly civic god. He brought peace in place of violenceand Hesiod (circa 700 BCE) describes Zeus as "the lord of justice". Zeus was alsoknown as "Kosmetas" (orderer), "Soter" (savior), "Polieos" (overseer of thepolis,city) and "Eleutherios" (guarantor of political freedoms). His duties in this rolewere to maintain the laws, protect suppliants, to summon festivals and to give

prophecies (his oldest and most famous oracle was at Dodona, in Epirus,northwestern Greece). As the supreme deity Zeus oversaw the conduct of civilizedlife. But the "father of gods and men" as Homer calls him, has many mythologicaltales.

It would be quite easy to understand how the pagan Greeks wouldcompare the Savior of the Hebrew people to their chief god.


28/40

28

Is this why it is said by many that the name Jesus means Son of Zeusor Hail Zeus? Is it ridiculous to argue that the pagans could have also

erased the name of the Hebrew Messiah and created a hybrid name to fitthe god of their belief system? Or should believers not heed the words ofthe apostle and Prove all things?

When we research the etymology (origin) of the name Jesus, we find the

following examples:

JESUS

Gender: MasculineUsage: Theology, BiblicalPronounced: JEE-zus

English form of(Iesous), which was the Greek form of the Aramaic name

(Yeshu'a). Yeshu'a is itself a contracted form ofYehoshu'a (see JOSHUA).

The etymology of the name Jesus tells us that the name is from theGreek form Iesous. Iesous is from the Aramaic name Yeshua which is anabbreviated form of Yehoshua. It also tells us that we should referencethe name Joshua, as it would be properly translated into English. Let usnow examine the name Joshua.

JOSHUA

Gender: MasculineUsage: English, BiblicalPronounced: JAH-shu-wa, JAW-shwa

From the Hebrew name (Yehoshu'a), which meant, "YAHWEH is salvation".Joshua was one of the twelve spies sent into Canaan by Moses in the Old Testament.After Moses died Joshua succeeded him as leader of the Israelites. The name Jesuswas a variant of the name Joshua.

As we can see, the name Jesus is a variant of the name Joshua. Fromthe example given as to how the name is pronounced, we see the name ispronounced JAH with the shuwa (shua), which means to save or rescue.What we must remember is that the Hebrew alphabet has no letter J or Jsound. If we properly insert the Y, we would then have Yah, and thenadding the shua would give us Yahshua, which is a contracted form ofYahushua, which means Yahu Saves or Yahweh is Salvation. This wouldbe more consistent with the many theophoric Hebrew names.


29/40

29

This would then leave us with the question as to why Joshua from theBible is not also called Jesus and why Jesus is not properly translated

into English as Joshua. Hmmmm!

The next question is, how did we come up with the title Christ from

which Christianity was formed. We know from the information previouslyrevealed, the pagans and the Hebrews had different beliefs in regards to

the word anointed and its meaning. To the Hebrew, the word MashaiYah( or Mashiach which is where we get the English word messiah,

means anointed with oil as is reserved for Kings, Priests and Prophets.The word Messiah means anointed one, referring to Him as Sovereignor King, as Samuel anointed David. The Greek word Christos (,),

which is where we get the word Christ is said to also mean anointed andis the pagan version of the Hebrew word meaning messiah. It is believedthat the word Christos (Greek: anointed) means to smear and rub withoil in a sensual manner as in a pagan sex rite. Remember, the Greeks

were pagans and pagans worshipped many fertility goddesses. We willelaborate on paganism in a later chapter. As for now, we shouldunderstand why the Catholic Encyclopedia states that the pagans knewnothing about the significance of anointing to the Hebrews, nor did theytry to understand. Therefore, it must be understood that the Messiahand his followers were never called Christians in their own language. Theword Christian was another deliberate false substitution by the pagantranslators in an effort to merge their beliefs with the word of YHWH

().

To bring further light to this subject of paganism with Christianity, we

will examine the comments of a highly respected historian. In the book,The Story of Civilization pp. 595-599, historian Will Durant says ofpaganism and Christianity:

Christianity did not destroy paganism: it adopted it.

He goes on to say :

the Greek language, having reigned for centuries over philosophy, became thevehicle of Christian literature and ritual; the Greek mysteries passed down into theimpressive mystery of the Mass. Other pagan cultures contributed to the syncretist

result.

Christianity was the last creation of the ancient pagan world.

Finally he states:Christianity became the last and greatest of the mystery religions

It is quite obvious that these names and titles were not intented to bealtered in such a manner. This too has brought about great deception

and confusion.

What is also quite obvious is there were several unexplainable changes in

the name of the Messiah. Why was such an important name altered somany times? Why was Joshuas name not altered to Jesus if they were

the same name? Why is the Messiahs name the only name that wentthrough such a morphological change? Why is there so much confusionas to what the correct name and meaning is. Some may argue that itdoesnt matter. According to the Bible, it does matter. The Bible places

heavy emphasis on knowing and trusting the name of YHWH () andthe name of the Messiah. After all, believers are encouraged to trust in aparticular name for salvation. What is obvious but not spoken of is howthe original names and words have been avoided altogether. It is alsoironic that all these name changes were going on during the Middle Ages

which was also called the Dark Ages. In Christianity, this was a period inwhich the Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Church, which is thefoundation of Christianity, killed and tortured anyone who opposed itsrules or made any effort to translate the Bible. For those who are notfamiliar with the Protestant Reformation Period, this is the reason why

theProtestants and Martin Luther broke away from the corrupt andcontrolling CatholicChurch.It would be beneficial to anyone who seeks

understanding of these subjects to research the history of Christianity,The Roman Empire as well as Greek Religion and Mythology. The truth isMythology is no Myth!

After careful examination of the name and title of the Messiah as it hasbeen suspiciously presented to us for centuries, we will now see whatinformation and clues the Bible has given us about His name andidentity. According to the Bible, we are told that He would come bearingHis Fathers name. So why would He not have a theophoric name? He

was by all accounts, very obedient to the will of YHWH (), and gave allglory to His Father.

For I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father who sentMe gave me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore,whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak. (John12:49-50)

I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge: And My judgement isrighteous; because I do not seek my own will but the will of theFather who sent Me. If I bear wintess of Myself, My witness is nottrue. (John 5:30-31)


31/40

31

Again, when He was teaching He said:

You both know Me, and you know where I am from: and I have notcome of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me. (John 7: 28-29)

This is a classic example of submission and obedience, and one whoalways did His Fathers will. It would be difficult to imagine that Hisname would not give glory to the one that sent Him, as it did with somany others. What may be surprising to many who profess to study the

Bible, is the Savior could not have been called Jesus or Yeshua , simplybecause the scriptures tells us this:

I am YHWH (), that is My name; and My glory I will not give to

another. (Isaiah 42: 8)

After telling you His name, YHWH () says that he will not give hisglory to another. What does this mean? Is He a liar? Or does this meanthat He will not give His glory to any other? Again, He repeats His name

and then says something even more astonishing:

I, even I, am YHWH (), and besides Me there is no savior. (Isaiah43:11)

Indeed Before the day was, I am He; and ther is no one who candeliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it? (Isaiah 43:13).

YHWH () is telling those who believe in Him that there is no saviorbesides Him. No one can reverse what He has caused to be. No one! Thiswas foretold in the Old Testament. Does this mean that the Bible isinconsistant? Of course not! This just goes to show the importance of thenames that have been altered and erased and the damage that has beendone by doing so.

What are we to make of the names of Yeshua or Yehoshua? Some of theworlds most trusted scholars can shed light on the origin of these names.

Wilhelm Gesenius:

Wilhelm Gesenius believed that Yehowah more satisfactorily explained theTheophoric names which began with the "abbreviated syllable YHW [Yeho]


32/40

32

or YW [Yo]", yet other evidence convinced Gesenius that God's name was"Yahweh" not "Yehowah".

In this way can the abbreviated syllables YHW [Yeho] and YH [Yo], withwhich many proper names begin, be more satisfactorily explained."

:George Wesley Buchanan Professor Emeritus, Wesley Theological SeminaryWashington, DC

Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible

In section # 3.1 is found a table of Theophoric names with "Yeho" and "Yo"prefixes. The Data in that table is found in a 1958 reprint of the 1890 Editionof James Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of The Bible. All the Hebrewnames listed are Theophoric names starting with "" [i.e. "Yeho"] or ""[i.e. "Yo"]. James Strong believed that all of these Theophoric names werederived from Hebrew word # 3068, [i.e. "" = Yehovah].

Some of the worlds most noted scholars agree that the theophoric nameswhich begin with Yeho (Jeho) prefixes are derived from the hybrid nameYehowah and Yehovah which is were we get Jehovah. This would includethe name Yehoshua which was altered to Yeshua. This shows us thatsomeone went to great extremes to present the theory of Yehoshuaeventually becoming Jesus. Hmmmm! This theory of Jesus being the

name of the Messiah with its many flaws and suspisions will continue tobe supported by those who refuse to acknowledge the obvious. What isalso little known fact is that much of the construction of the modernEnglish language was centered around Christian Philosophy. You may

ask the question, What does this mean? Simply stated, the greatancient world powers created words and language to justify their actionsand philosophy.

Based on the evidence presented, we must draw this conclusion. If thereis no Yehovah (Jehovah), then there is no Yehoshua and if there is no

Yehoshua, there can be no Yeshua, and if there is no Yeshua then therecan be no Iesous. Finally, if there is no Iesous, then there can be noJesus!

This truth, like all truth, is difficult to accept. Again, it would be much

easier for those who follow the masses to discredit the evidence that hasbeeen presented. The same evidence that is written in the very book thatprofessing believers claim to study and observe. This type of truth alsobrings about a very obvious response. That is, anger, disbelief andrebellion. Remember, if you love what you believe more than you lovetruth, then you are incapable of receiving truth and therefore you aredoomed.

There are those who love church, church members and the leaders of thechurch, more than they love the Heavenly Fahter and His truth. A

gentleman by the name of Samuel Taylor Coleridge once wrote:

He who begins by loving Christianity better than Truth will proceed by loving his own

sect or church better than Christianity, and end by loving himself better than all. --Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)

This was a comment made by a man who obviously observed Christianity

in its early stages. If something is deceiving in its infancy; imagine itsability to deceive when it becomes mature.

With these things being said and if truth is embrased, then we mustagree with the painful but obvious truth. Jesus Saves No One! This is

also one of the worlds best kept secrets.

This is the very type of confusion that has caused many people tobecome skeptical of the Bibles authenticity. People have questioned foryears whether or not the scriptures are truth or mythology. The truth is,the Greeks were notorious for embracing the beliefs, knowledge andtraditions of other nations and claiming them as their own, as many oftheir pagan rituals and beliefs were adopted from the Egyptians andBabylonians.

What also may not be known to the average professing believers is thatthere are several books of the Bible that are not included in the modernday translations along with what is called the Christian Cannon . The

Apocrypha as these books are called, include 14 books and writings thatoften give detailed accounts of the torture and tyranny that the Hebrewsfaced for not abandoning their beliefs and culture and converting to theGreek way of life. Until 1880 almost every translated version of the biblecontained 80 books until it was then reduced to 66 for some unexplainedreason. Modern day Christians were left with the thought that thesebooks were for some reason not authoritative doctrine.

It was decided by the self proclaimed authorities of truth that thesewritings should not be included in what is called the Christian Cannonand modern translations. Why is this? Maybe by revealing these books

the world would have known the truth about many things that are nownot known. The truth is, these books and writings speak of how the

Hebrew people were persicuted by the pagans for years and were tortured

for not denying the Laws of YHWH () and for not converting to theGreek way of life. Many attempts were made to turn the house of YHWH

() into a temple of Zeus. The Hebrew people were also seduced intothe worship Dionysus who was the son of Zeus. We can find evidence of

the pagan beliefs in the modern translations of the book of Acts 14:12-13when Paul and Barnabas were called Zeus and Hermes (Greek Gods).

Also in Acts 19:35 when Zeus is again mentioned. It is widely believed byhistorians that even the early paintings of Jesus were taken from theimage of Zeus. The History Channel aired a special on 6-22-06, called

The Seven Wonders Of The World as they explored the ancient statuesand temples of Zeus. They also made reference to the early paintings of

Jesus resembling Zeus.

This 11th century Greek image of Jesus is one of many in which a sun cross halo isused.

The fact that people of one culture were forced to convert to the ways of

those who ruled over them has always been a part of human history. Ifany research was done on these ancient cultures, it would be easy toidentify these facts. We will elaborate on these topics in a later chapter.This is the very reason the Bible says, He deceives the whole worldand Prove All Things. If a believer is not willing to prove things, thenhe or she is willing to allow themselves to be deceived.

There are many rebellious and deceived leaders who will try to convincethose who wish to know truth, to continue to believe in the name of

In an article on Zeus, a small

portrait of the Greek God shows the

striking resemblance between heand Jesus.

Yahushua on earth was Yahu Yahweh in heaven, being the lesser of thetwo Yahwehs. There was the Father Yahweh and the Angel/Son Yahweh.

In order to bring a clear understanding to this subject, we must examinethe Bible to see if in fact this is the case. According to the Gospel ofJohn, the Son was in the beginning with the father. It says:

In the beginning was the word, and the word was with Elohim

(YHWH), and the word was Elohim (YHWH). He was in the beginningwith Elohim (YHWH). All things were made through Him and withoutHim; nothing was made that was made. (John 1:1-3)(Note: In the Hebrew language, word is Logos)

The Bible tells us that the Son(being the word) was in the beginning withthe Father and they were called Elohim(properly: Eloahim/plural). Thisalso shows the unity of the Father and Son. It also states:

And the word became flesh and tabernacled among us and we beholdhis glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full ofgrace and truth. (John 1:14)

In this scripture, it tell us the word(being the Son, Elohim-Yahweh)became flesh and dwelt among us.

In the book of Exodus we find an interesting scripture:

Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and tobring you to into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him

and obey his voice; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon yourtransgression; for My name is in Him. (Exodus 23: 20-21) (Note: TheHebrew word for Angel is Malak: meaning, messenger or servant)

The Angel or messenger that is mentioned in this passage, has theauthority to forgive transgressions (Sins) and the Fathers name is in him.This also shows evidence that Yahu Yahweh the Son has the authority toforgive sins. We should also pay close attention to what is written in theBook of Genesis( Hebrew: Bereshith), It says:

Let us make man in our image. (Genesis 1:26)

This statement clearly shows that there was more than one (Elohim) in

this process. We can see that the Father Yahweh (), was providing theinstructions, and the son Yahweh (), who is also the Angel (Malak)who was carrying out the orders. To provide further evidence of this

point, we will look at more scriptural passages to show that the son,while being in heaven with the father, they were united (akhad) as one

and he too was Yahweh (). In 1 Timothy 6:13-16 it tells us that theFather Yahweh () alone dwells in unapproachable light, whom no manhas seen or can see. If this is true then we must ask the questions. Whowas it that appeared to Abraham in Genesis 12:6, before destroyingSodom and Gomorrah? Who then appeared to Isaac in Genesis 26:2?

Who was it that appeared and spoke to Moses and gave him theCommandments and the Laws? Who visited Adam in the Garden ofEden? There is a multitude of passages that could be given in reference

to Yahweh () appearing before his servants and prophets. So we knowthat if no man has seen the Father who is unapproachable, then they

could only have seen Yahweh (), the son who is approachable.

And the Father Himself, who sent me, has testified of Me. You haveneither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form. (John 5: 27)

As we said in the first chapter of this book, the scriptures began to comealive when the proper names are in place. Knowing that the words Lord

and God were interchanged with YHWH () and Elohim, your Creatorand your Salvation becomes clear. This brings understanding to whathas been confusing to people for generations. Now we can continue toprovide evidence as to how Yahushua the Messiah was his earthly name

and he was also the Son named YHWH ().

The book of Zechariah gives us an example of the two named YHWH

().

Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and Iwill dwell in your midst, says YHWH (). Many nations shall be

joined to YHWH () in that day, and they shall become My people.

And I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that YHWH ()of hosts has sent me to you. (Zechariah 2:10)

Again in the book of Isaiah we see an example of Yahushua, who is also

YHWH () speaking to the prophet saying:

Come near to Me, hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the

beginning from the time that it was, I was there. And now YHWH() and His Spirit have sent Me. Thus says YHWH () your

redeemer, the Holy one of Israel: I am YHWH () your Eloahi whoteaches you to profit, who leads you by the way you should go.(Isaiah 48:16-17)

Again in the book of Psalm it says:


38/40

38

YHWH () said to YHWH (), sit at My right hand, till I makeyour enemies your footstool. (Psalm 110:1)

All of these scriptural references clearly show that there were twoYahwehs and the Son named Yahweh was the word and voice of the

Father Yahweh whom no man has seen or heard His voice. This alsobrings understanding to the verse in Isaiah that says;

I, even I, am YHWH (), and besides Me there is no savior. (Isaiah43:11)

As well as the verse that tells us;

I am YHWH (), that is My name; and My glory I will not give toanother. (Isaiah 42: 8)

These verses as well as many others clearly shows undeniable evidencethat the Messiah of the Bible was not Jesus Christ as the billions ofdeceived people in the world would have you believe. There is nosalvation in the name of Jesus. Salvation will only come to thosebelievers who trust in the name and keep the commandments of YHWH

(). This is not so confusing when we see that there is just one name totrust. We should then consider that, if man is willing to hide and concealthe name of the Heavenly Father, why would he not also hide andconceal the name of His Son, by whom all men might be saved. Think

about that. For they are called, Children Of Disobedience.

This practice of changing the names of the Hebrew is evident throughout

the Bible.
