WHAT IS THE SACRED FAMILY NAME?
On that most memorable Day of Pentecost, the apostle Peter quoted Joel 2:28-32 from the Old Testament Scriptures. In that quote, he said, "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD [LORD?] shall be saved." [Acts 2:21]
The actual passage from the prophecy in Joel was: "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of "hvhy" shall be delivered:"
LORD is a title and not a name! What then is HIS name, the revealed sacred name of our Heavenly FATHER? HIS personal name is found in the Old Testament Scriptures no less than 6,825 times! HE revealed HIS NAME AS "hvhy," HE said, "This is MY name for ever, and this is MY memorial unto all generations."
Exodus 3 (15) And hvhy said moreover unto Moses, thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, hvhy, Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: This is MY name for ever, and this is MY memorial unto all generations.
How do we pronounce HIS revealed name "hvhy," the name that we are to call upon to be saved? [While checking out these definitions and pronunciations, please keep in mind that the sign ":-" means that the words following it are other words that the translators of The King James Version used (whether correctly or incorrectly) to translate the referred to word.]
From the NASC Dictionary on the word "hvhy," word # H3068:
H3068 Yhvh, [i.e. Yehovah or Yahveh] [217d]; from H1933b; the proper name of the God of Israel:-- GOD(315), LORD-(6399), LORD'S(111).
From Strongs Concordance Dictionary word # H3068:
H3068 hvhy: Yehovah, yeh-ho-vaw'; from H1961; (the) self-Existent or Eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God:--Jehovah, the Lord. Comp. H3050, H3069.
Most serious Bible scholars admit that the true pronunciation of the Hebrew sacred name "hvhy" is pronounced as "YAHWEH," Therefore, HIS name is not "the LORD GOD," "the LORD" or "GOD" as most English translation have substituted in the place of it. "LORD" & "GOD" are just titles, and neither one of them is HIS personal name that is forever, nor a memorial for all generations, nor the name to be called upon to be saved.
YAHWEH'S
name is holy and HE is jealous for HIS holy name!Ezekiel 39 (7) So will I make MY holy name known in the midst of MY people Israel; and I will not let them pollute MY holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I AM YAHWEH, the Holy One in Israel.
Ezekiel 39 (25) Therefore thus saith my SOVEREIGN YAHWEH; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole House of Israel, and will be jealous for MY holy name.
So, WHY would anyone knowingly want to reject HIS sacred name "YAHWEH", that we are to call upon for our salvation, the name that was forever and the name for all generations and substitute for it the title of "GOD" or "LORD"?
One might think to say, "Wait just one minute here!"; "According to Acts 4 (12), we must be saved by HIS Son's name!". True! However, receiving salvation through the sacred name of YAHWEH is not contrary to that Acts 4:12 scripture which is speaking of our Savior, the Messiah.
Acts 4 (12) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.
What then is our Savior's name? Does He have the same name as His FATHER? We shall investigate and learn what His revealed name is!
Matthew 1 (21) And she shall bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus [Jesus?] for He shall save His people from their sins.
"Jesus" is an English highbred name translated from the Hebrew word "iwvhy" (# H3091) to the Greek word "Iesous" (G2424) to Latin word "Iesus" and then to the English word "Jesus".
G2424. Iesous, ee-ay-sooce'; of Hebrew origin [H3091]; Jesus (i.e. Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Isr.:--Jesus.
(As admitted in the above definition, His name originated in the Hebrew word # H3091. He was a Hebrew man with a Hebrew name!)
H3091. Yehowshuwa', yeh-hoshoo'- ah; or Yehowshu'a, yeh-ho-shoo'-ah; from H3068 and H3467; Jehovah-saved; Jehoshua (i.e. Joshua), the Jewish leader:--Jehoshua, Jeho-shuah, Joshua. Comp. H1954, H3442.
The "J" in the above definitions is an English perversion of the Hebrew letter "Y" (yod). The "Y" is a "Y" in the English alphabet. (The letter "J" was not invented in any language until the 14th century.)
All personal names in the Hebrew language have their own specific meaning. "YAH" is the short or poetic form for "YAHWEH", the name that is to be called upon to be saved, the name that is forever and the name that is a memorial for all generations. The Hebrew word "shua" means saves or salvation. Putting them together, you have "YAHshua," meaning "YAHWEH'S Salvation." YAHshua is indeed "YAHWEH'S SALVATION" for He saves His people from their sins as stated in the above scripture! Therefore, He truly does have His FATHER'S name, the ONLY sacred name by which we must be saved!
Nowhere in the Holy Scriptures does our Heavenly FATHER give anyone permission to change or substitute other names and titles for HIS or HIS Son's true sacred names which was, is and shall be "hvhy" & "iwvhy!"
Who changed them? The answer: The Jewish people erroneously reasoned that if they did not pronounce YAHWEH'S sacred name at all that they would be safe from breaking the third commandment. To avoid pronouncing the sacred name "hvhy," they added the vowels from the Hebrew word "Adonay" and pronounced it as "adonai," which more correctly means "my Sovereign" from "adown." (See Strongs, word # H113.) The American Heritage Dictionary defines "adonai" as: "Lord" and "my Lord."
Ad·o·nai (ä"d½-nº", -noi") n. Lord. Used in Judaism as a spoken substitute for the ineffable name of God. [Hebrew ’²d½n³y, my lord, from Hebrew ’³dôn, lord.]
Accordingly, most English translations also substituted the sacred name "YAHWEH" with "LORD," "my LORD," "the LORD GOD" and GOD. They also erroneously substituted HIS Son's name "YAHshua" with the Hebrew/Greek/Latin and then to English highbred name "Jesus."
I firmly believe that we should show more reverence than that to the only name that we are to call upon to be saved from our sins and the name that is forever and the name that is a memorial unto all generations! Let us very faithfully act upon the knowledge of the sacred revealed names as we "grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Sovereign YAHshua. (We were indeed instructed to "grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Sovereign YAHshua.") Let us all act upon it!
II Peter 3 (17) Ye, therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. (18) But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Sovereign and Saviour YAHshua Messiah. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
The true Believers are YAHWEH'S adopted children who are brothers and sisters with the Messiah YAHshua.
Galatians 4 (4) But when the fulness of the time was come, YAHWEH sent forth HIS Son, made of a woman, made under the law, (5) To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. (6) And because ye are sons, YAHWEH hath sent forth the Spirit of HIS Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, FATHER. (7) Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a Son; and if a Son, then a Son of YAHWEH through Messiah.
Matthew 12 (50) For whosoever shall do the will of My FATHER WHO is in Heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother.
Luke 20 (36) Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of YAHWEH, being the children of the resurrection.
Is "YAHWEH" also our Heavenly FATHER'S family name? HE gave HIS sacred name to HIS Firstborn Son, YAHshua (YAH’S or YAHWEH'S SALVATION)! Will HE give HIS sacred name to those who call upon HIS holy name to be saved too? Of course HE will!
Isaiah 62 (2) And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of YAHWEH shall name.
Revelation 2 (17) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone A NEW NAME written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Revelation 3 (12) Him that overcometh will I [YAHshua] make a pillar in the temple of My ELOHIM, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of My ELOHIM [YAHWEH], and the name of the city of My ELOHIM, which is New Yerushalayim, which cometh down out of Heaven from My ELOHIM: and I [YAHshua] will write upon him My NEW NAME [for him].
It will be His FATHER'S name!
Revelation 14 (1) And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with Him a hundred forty and four thousand, having His FATHER'S name written in their foreheads.
Revelation 22 (3) And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of YAHWEH and of the Lamb shall be in it; and HIS servants shall serve HIM: (4) And they shall see HIS face; and HIS name shall be in their foreheads.
YAHWEH'S
family name in our foreheads! How exciting!There are several very good booklets that give an enormous amount of knowledge concerning the history of the sacred and personal names of our Heavenly FATHER, YAHWEH, and YAHshua, His Son. I have two very good ones before me as I write. You can obtain a copy by ordering them free of charge. For "The Missing J" and "The Heavenly FATHER'S Great Name"; write:

I use three Protestant Bibles that have the sacred names of YAHWEH and YAHshua restored to the text in both the Old and New Testaments. All three are excellent; they are: "The Sacred Scriptures, Bethel Edition," "The Word of YAHWEH," and "The Scriptures". (Others are available now and others may soon be made available that have the sacred names restored to the texts too.)

Are you called aTree of Righteousness,
the planting of YAHWEH
If you have been washed clean by the blood of YAHshua which was a result of this Passover/Unleavened Bread Season, then you have had this calling:
Hebrews 12 (22) But you have come to MOUNT ZION , and to the city of the Living Elohim, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and to the innumerable host of angels, (23) To the General Assembly and Congregation of the FIRSTBORN, who are enrolled in Heaven, and to Elohim the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, (24) And to YAHshua the Mediator of a New Covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better than Abel.
The following scriptures also affects all who truly come to
Mount Zion.Isaiah 61 (I) The spirit of the Sovereign YAHWEH is upon Me; because YAHWEH hath anointed Me to preach good tidings to the meek; HE has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, (2) to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the year of YAHWEH'S favor, and the day of vengeance of our Elohim; to comfort all that mourn; (3) To appoint to them [the Saints] that mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called Trees of Righteousness, the planting of YAHWEH, that He may be glorified.
Jer 17 (7) Blessed is the man that trusts in YAHWEH, and whose trust YAHWEH is. (8) For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Psalm 1 (I) Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers. (2) But his delight is in the Law of YAHWEH; and on HIS law does he meditate day and night. (3) And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that BRINGS FORTH ITS FRUIT IN ITS SEASON IN ITS SEASON; whose leaf also does not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.
When is our season to be fruitful?
Before proceeding:
Just as "muzzling not the ox that treadeth out the corn" had a duel meaning, so does the scripture concerning FRUIT in Leviticus 19:23-25. While explaining that those who preach the Gospel had authority to live of the Gospel, the apostle Paul wrote the following.I Corinthians 9 (9) For it is written in the law of Moses, You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain [Deu. 25:24]. Is it for the oxen that YAHWEH care, (10) Or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written because he that plows ought to plow in hope, and he that thrashes, to thresh in hope of partaking. … (14) Even so did YAHWEH ordain that they that proclaim the Good Tidings should live by the Good Tidings.
Lev 19 (23) And when you shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then you shall count the fruit of it as their uncircumcision: three years shall they be as uncircumcised to you: it shall not be eaten. (24) But in the fourth year all the fruit of it shall be holy for giving praise to YAHWEH. (25) And in the fifth year you shall eat of the fruit of it, that it may yield to you the increase of it: I am YAHWEH your Elohim.
The three years are a time of maturing by learning and submitting to YAHWEH’S ways. (This is an important time for the circumcising of the heart- the tearing away of the things of the world.) You are still a novice (newly planted). You should be bringing forth fruit bringing forth fruit, even though it is immature fruit.
By the fourth year, you should be bringing forth more mature fruit to dedicate and offer it to YAHWEH both in and out of the Assembly. You should be ready by then to be dedicated to serving in the Assembly and proving yourselves by just performing with whatever gift or service that YAHWEH gives you for the edification of the General Assembly and the local congregation.
By the fifth year, you should be bringing forth such mature fruits and having learned much through experience that you qualify to serve as Deacons and Elders (overseers) and Elders (overseers) or whatever office YAHWEH calls you to.
Isn't this in line with that which Paul told Timothy in I Timothy 3:1-13?
I Timothy 3 (I) Faithful is the saying, if a man seeks the office of a bishop [overseer], he desires a good work. (2) The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach; (3) No brawler, no pugilist ; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money; (4) One that rules well his own house, having children in subjection with all gravity; (5) (But if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the Assembly of YAHWEH?) (6) Not a novice [newly planted-G3504], lest being puffed up he fall into the condemnation of the devil. (7) Moreover he must have good testimony from them that are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. (8) Deacons in like manner must be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; (9) Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. (10) And let these also first be proved; then let them serve as deacons, if they be blameless. (11) [Their] women [wives-G1135] in like manner must be grave, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. (12) Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling children and their own houses well. (13) For they that have served well as deacon gain to themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Messiah YAHshua.
What if we do not
bring forth fruit, and prosper?Luke 13 (6) And He spoke this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none. (7) And he said to the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why does it also cumber the ground? (8) And he answering says to him, Master, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: (9) And if it bear fruit in the future, well: but if not, you shall cut it down.
In this parable, Yahshua was telling the Jewish nation that He was sent to them for three years to tell them to repent and bring forth fruit suitable to offer to YAHWEH. Meanwhile, the Jewish nation did not repent in their uncircumcised heart, and Yahshua offered up Himself to YAHWEH as the Passover Lamb during the fourth year. Fifty days after His Resurrection, the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Day of Pentecost which should have enabled the Jewish nation to bring forth fruit suitable to offer to YAHWEH. As a result many of them did begin to bring forth fruit suitable after that. However, most of the Jewish nation did not and in time they were cut down and cast into the fire like an unfruitful tree. (If you have ever read Josephus you would know what a fire that was!)
Maybe this parable is also telling us that we are subjecting ourselves to being cut off and rejected if we do not circumcise our hearts and bring forth some manner of fruit suitable to offer to YAHWEH after four Years? We are novices (newly planted) for the 1st year, 2nd year, and 3rd year and HE expects some suitable fruit by the 4th year. If HE doesn't find any suitable fruit by the 4th year, maybe HE stirs up HIS Holy Spirit within us and then expects some suitable fruit to come forth after that? If some suitable fruit does not come forth after that, maybe we are then subject to be hewn down at any time and be cast away to be burned like an unfruitful tree? That is something to consider!
Just as false prophets are known by their fruits, so are we!
Matthew 7 (15) Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. (16) By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? (17) Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. (18) A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. (19) Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. (20) Therefore by their fruits you shall know them. (21) Not every one that says to Me, Master, Master, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that does the will of My FATHER WHO is in heaven. (22) Many will say to Me in that day, Master, Master, did we not prophesy by Your name, and by YOUR name cast out demons, and by Your name do many mighty works? (23) And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from Me, you that work lawlessness.
We must work
to bring forth fruit unto YAHWEH both in the General Assembly and the local Assembly and before all mankind. You should do the works of YAHWEH by first believing on YAHshua Whom YAHWEH sent and then do the good works that you were created in YAHshua to do. The following verses are self explanatory.John 6 (28) They said therefore to Him, What must we do, that we may work the works of Elohim [YAHWEH]? (29) YAHshua answered and said unto them, This is the work of Elohim [YAHWEH], that you believe on Him Whom HE hath sent.
Additional Scriptures that call for
good worksEphesians 2 (10) For we are HIS workmanship, created in the Messiah YAHshua for good works, which YAHWEH previously prepared that we should walk in them.
Matthew 5 (14) You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. (15) Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shines unto all that are in the house. (16) Even so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your FATHER Who is in Heaven.
I Timothy 6 (17) Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the in uncertainty of riches, but on YAHWEH, WHO gives us richly all things to enjoy; (18) That they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate; (19) Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the Life which is life indeed.
II Timothy 3 (16) Every scripture YAHWEH breathed is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness: (17) That the man of YAHWEH may be complete, furnished completely to every good work.
Titus 2 (7) In all things showing yourself an example of good works: in your doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, (8) sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. (9) Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well pleasing to them in all things; not contradicting; (10) Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of YAHWEH our Saviour in all things. (11) For the grace of YAHWEH has appeared bringing salvation to all men, (12) Instructing us to the intent that denying lawlessness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and holy, in this present world; (13) Looking for the blessed hope, and appearing of the glory of the great Elohim and our Saviour YAHshua the Messiah; (14) Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to Himself a people for His own possession, zealous of good works.
Titus 3 (8) Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that you confidently to the end, that they who have believed YAHWEH may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. (9) But shun foolish questioning, and genealogies, and strifes and fightings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. … (14) And let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
Remember this
: A good tree must bring forth fruit that is consistent with the FRUIT OF YAHWEH'S HOLY SPIRIT.Galatians 5 (22) But the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, (23) Meekness, self control: AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW.
