The Name and Proper Pronunciation: Distraction Is discernment based on word-play or the anointing of truth? Why is this necessary for this time we live in? Did any of Jesus’ teachings to His apostles ever emphasise proper pronunciation of the Name of God? No! Nor did the apostles teach the Gentiles the Hebrew language and proper wording of the Name of God Almighty. Those that build a gospel on proper sounding words of the Name of God miss the point of why God issued the covenant to the Gentiles. They are trying to build faith in the culture by this sleight of hand. At first an innocent mistake, but Satan’s compass to consume the time and energy of learning and schism. Again no need for apostles if the carnal intellect can approach God on the grounds of their own studies. God confirms Faith in the Greek and Latin Speaking Gentiles Acts 10:1 and 45-46 “There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.” The true gospel Peter preached pointed to this seal and experience for the believers. The Name of God is in this Seal for ownership (authorized and sanctified system of belief) not the pronouncing of the Name of God as Yahwah. God gave witness to their faith before Peter could give them a study a linguistic in-depth study of the Hebrew (my point here). Believers that attempt to educate the Gentiles in the proper wording of the Name of God feel their own guilt of ignorance and feel lacking the obedience of faith to His covenant are making a trade-off. Without a sanctified priesthood to express their love for God they put faith in the unpronounceable Name of God. Conspiracy Theories of Letter Tampering From Greek to English This is truly an unfounded fear and false scholarship but a bold attempt to try and humiliate the faith of believers today into seeking Hebrew language lessons (which vary in sounds and meanings, for many scholars (not all) admit to these discrepancies to the “original ancient sounds.”) So will God abominate His believers today in the 21th century for not exploring this further and then begin to insist that true faith is only in the pronouncing the Name YAHWAH with proper accent. No! How the apostles taught and spoke to the Gentiles in the first century would be the language of the people. Today it is language of the people which is Jesus Christ. To avoid confusion we focus on maintaining this Name. Dead Sea Scrolls: Conspiracy Theory Stops Here The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls did not show any conspiracy of tampering. It was God that gave the many different languages of the world. The Gentiles that believe are saved regardless of any translation 'mistakes'. The need to focus on the covenant of Jesus Christ for your faith is what God desires for the church and to put aside this crusade of proper pronouncing His Holy Name. For the Lord God's true Name is not pronounceable by human lips. For He exalts His Word above His Name The knowledge for faith pleases God more so than pronouncing it. Psalm 138:2 “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” God Almighty God issued this name of Himself for the faith of Abraham, which is God Almighty. And God issued this name of Himself for Moses, which is Jehovah. And God issued this name of Himself which is Immanuel to identify the transition of weeks and covenant. And gave Himself as the new covenant, and gave us the name of Himself in Jesus Christ. Philippians 2:9 “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is ABOVE EVERY NAME:” Other Covenants as God Almighty and Jehovah God only assigned these titles of Himself to point to the fullness of His grace to seal our salvation in our Lord Jesus Christ. (John 1:16) Genesis 28:3 “And GOD ALMIGHTY bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;” Exodus 6:3 “And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of GOD ALMIGHTY, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.” Isaiah Prophesies of the New Name Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name IMMANUEL.” Matthew 1:23 “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, God with us.” Matthew 1:1-25 “ The book of the generation of JESUS Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born JESUS, who is called Christ.18 Now the birth of JESUS Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.” 2 Corinthians 5:19 “ To wit, that GOD WAS IN CHRIST, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” Another New Name to Come Revelation 3:12 “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.” The Names of God change but His eternal title as God (Supreme Governor of Our Destiny) will never be diminished in value for us. YHWH or IHIH is just the vowels of the name which can be pronounced different ways, but the Name itself bears the letters of the Creator. God gave titles to His children to distinguish and honour them. We all bear the name of our Father through Jesus Christ to function in His kingdom. Angelic YHWH’s and Great Princes with the suffix of EL Now to understand the NAME YHWH to the angelic princes. They are without peer, (supervision) and manage His interests over His kingdom by His authority. Those that bear the name are also called Thrones or Seat. The 23 YHWHs of Arabot oversee the numerous kingdoms of God's creation. Like the spiders web has a central seat where it sits as the god of the web, or its throne, and its 8 legs control the tethers. Each thread of the web is joined to a branch, and that branch becomes its servant. The 8 great princes are the legs of the seat of God, and the other thrones manage the branches and everything else. The YHWH's also are a type and shadow of things to come for our heritage and inheritance with God. The very life of God will spring from us as YHWHs. We will be as His fountain and well and bear seed in His Name in other dimensions as the Tree of Life. God put many parables in all creation for us to study and see Him. From the Throne to the lowest things, both visible and invisible. These things are good to reflect upon as the vastness of the universe to the depths of the ocean, which all show order and increase and conceal mysteries for us to discover. Focus on growth and using the tokens of faith for increase. There is no fear investigating the ancient names, but for the church to glorify God with one mouth there has to be a consistency of practice and application. The main purpose for writing this is to conduct all things accordingly to glorify our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.
