YAHWEH SPEAKS
OUT CONCERNING THE
IMPORTANCE OF HIS NAMEHave You really ever done a complete study concerning the NAMES( Heb. Shem—not titles of pagan deities) of the Father Yahweh, and Yahshua Messiah?
Notice this is dealing with the “” NAME ” and NOT “” Titles”.
Various peoples, organizations, churches and assemblies will give every excuse in the world for not speaking or utilizing the name of our Creator. One wonders if they really read or study their Scriptures. So many of these people proclaim that they are sincerely seeking to please the Heavenly Father, yet do not regard His own personal name as being important. Have you ever done a study to see what the Creator says about its importance? Well, here is some of the work it requires, done out of love for YAHWEH and love for His own created people.
These Scriptures could be placed before the eyes of the people and distributed as helps to our assemblies as a teaching tool to reveal the Memorial Name of our Heavenly Father YAHWEH. This, I have endeavored to do in alphabetical order. May this compilation be a useful tool that will be a furtherance of the Holy Name Doctrine and our ability to share it and teach it. HALLELUYAH!!!
1. Anointed for healing in YAHWEH'S name.
“Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil in the name of the Master,” (Jas. 5:14).
COMMENT: What name should be utilized here? The name of the Father or the Son? YAHshua taught His disciples, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it you,” (Jn. 16:23.) Thus, we ask of the Father YAHWEH in the name of our Sovereign YAHshua Whose name means “the salvation of YAHWEH” or even “YAHWEH the Savior.”
“And He said, ‘If you diligently obey the voice of YAHWEH your Elohim and do what is right in His eyes, and shall listen to His commends and shall guard all His laws, I shall bring on you none of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am YAHWEH Who heals you,” (Ex. 15:26).

17. YAHWEH'S name is a strong and high tower of safety.
“The name YAHWEH is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and is safe,” (Prov. 18:10).
“YAHWEH is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My El, my strength, in Whom I will trust; My buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon YAHWEH, Who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies,” (Psa. 18:2-3).
COMMENT: Just as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, Samuel, David, Eliyahu, the prophets, etc. called on the name YAHWEH for salvation and safety, so must we in these last days.
18. Think on YAHWEH'S name.
“Then they that feared YAHWEH spake often one to another: and YAHWEH hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared YAHWEH, and that thought upon His name. And they shall be Mine, saith YAHWEH of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth Elohim and him that serveth Him not,” (Mal. 3:16-18).
COMMENT: The word “thought” is translated from the Hebrew word “chashab” which Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance defines as (when related to mental effort); think, regard, value, compute. Some of the words that it is translated into are; consider, esteem, find out, hold, be like, regard, etc.
From this we can deduct that we are to find out what His name is, and think upon it with the greatest of regard, esteem, value and we are to become (be) like Him, which leads us into the next category:
19. YAHWEH is the Memorial name.
“And Elohim said moreover unto Moses, ‘Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, YAHWEH 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,” (Ex. 3:15).
“Thy name, O YAHWEH, endureth for ever; And Thy memorial, O YAHWEH, throughout all generations,” (Psa. 135:13).
“The way of the just is uprightness: Thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. Yea, in the way of Thy judgments, O YAHWEH, have we waited for Thee; the desire of our soul is to Thy name, and to the remembrance of Thee,” (Isa. 26:7-8).
“Even YAHWEH of hosts; YAHWEH is His memorial,” (Hos. 12:5).
COMMENT: The Creator's name is His memorial to all generations. That is what these Scriptures are proclaiming. The words “memorial” and “remembrance” in the above Scriptures are taken from the root word “zakar” which is defined as: to mark (so as to be easily recognized), i.e. to remember; by impl. to mention; also (as denom. From 2145) to be male (Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance).
The question is, How can we recognize, remember or even think on His name (from point #18) if we don’t know what it is? Notice that the word for “memorial” means “to mention.” This, of course, means to speak. While the Jewish people have forbidden themselves from speaking the memorial name, it behooves those of us who have developed a special relationship with our Heavenly Father through YAHshua, to know what His name is, to highly value, esteem and regard His name, to speak His name, associating it with all of His mighty, righteous, wonderful and awesome deeds. As we do this, we are encouraging ourselves and others to become more and more like Him and His righteous ways. When YAHWEH hears this, He records these things, along with our names, in His book of remembrance (memorial). According to YAHWEH'S own word, if we treasure, remember and memorialize His name with His exploits, He will remember and memorialize us. HalleluYAH!!!
20. Trust in YAHWEH'S name.
“And those who know your name trust in you, for you have not forsaken those who seek you, O YAHWEH,” (Psa. 9:10).
“For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name,” (Psa. 33:21).
“Who is among you that feareth YAHWEH, that obeyeth the voice of His Servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? Let him trust in the name YAHWEH, and stay upon his Elohim,” (Isa. 50:10).
“But I shall leave in your midst an oppressed and poor people, and they shall trust in the name YAHWEH. (Zeph. 3:12).
21. Give Him the glory due His name for His works.
“Give unto YAHWEH the glory due unto His name…,” (Psa. 29:2).
“Unto thee O Elohim, do we give thanks, Unto Thee do we give tha
nks: for that Thy name is near Thy wondrous works declare,” (Psa. 75:1).“Give unto YAHWEH the glory due unto His name…,” (Psa. 96:8).

“And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for your. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto My name, saith YAHWEH of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart,” (Mal. 2:1-2)
22. We are to dance to His name.
“Let them praise His name in the dance,” (Psa. 149:3).
“Praise ye YAHWEH. Praise Elohim in His sanctuary: Praise Him in the firmament of His power. Praise Him for His mighty acts: Praise Him according to His excellent greatness. Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet: Praise Him with the psaltery and harp. Praise with the timbrel and dance: Praise Him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise Him upon the loud cymbals: Praise Him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let everything that hath breath praise YAHWEH. HalleluYAH,” (Psa. 150:1-6).
23. We are to lift up our hands in His name.
“Thus will I bless Thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in Thy name,” (Psa. 63:4).

“I will extol The, my Elohim, O king; and I will bless Thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless Thee: and I will praise Thy name for ever and ever….And let all flesh bless His holy name for ever and ever,” (Psa. 145:1-2, 21).
25. His name is our banner.
“We will rejoice in Thy salvation, and in the name of our Elohim we will set up our banners,” (Psa. 20:5).
26. We are to walk in His name.
“For all people will walk every one in the name of his deities, and we will walk in the name of YAHWEH our Elohim for ever and ever,” (Micah 4:5).

“Our help is in the name YAHWEH Who made heaven and earth,” (Psa. 124:8).

“All nations compassed me about: but in the name YAHWEH will I destroy them. They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name YAHWEH I will destroy them. They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name YAHWEH I will destroy them. Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but YAHWEH helped me,”( Psa. 118:10-13).
31. YAHWEH'S name endures for ever.
“And Elohim said moreover unto Moses, ‘Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, YAHWEH 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,” (Ex. 3:15).
“His [YAHWEH'S] name shall endure for ever: His name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. Blessed be YAHWEH Elohim, the Elohim of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be His glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with His glory; Amen and Amen,”( Psa. 72:17-19).
“Thy name, O YAHWEH, endureth for ever; and Thy memorial, O YAHWEH, throughout all generations,” (Psa. 135:13).
32. His name is great.
“In Judah is Elohim known: His name is great in Israel,”( Psa. 76:1).
“Let them praise Thy great and awesome name; for it is holy,” (Psa. 99:3).
“Forasmuch as there is none like unto Thee, O YAHWEH; Thou art great, and Thy name is great in might,” (Jer. 10:6).
“Therefore hear ye the word of YAHWEH, all Judah, that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by My great name, saith YAHWEH, that My name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, ‘The Sovereign YAHWEH liveth,” (Jer. 44:26).
33. His name is YAHWEH.
“That men may know that Thou, Whose name alone is YAHWEH, art the Most High over all the earth,” (Psa. 83. 18).
“I am YAHWEH: that is My name: and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images,” (Isa. 42:8).
“As for our Redeemer, YAHWEH of hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel,” (Isa. 47:4).
“For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the Elohim of Israel; YAHWEH of Hosts is His name,”( Isa. 48:2).
“But I am YAHWEH thy Elohim, That divided the sea, whose waves roared: YAHWEH of hosts is His name,” (Isa. 51:15).
“For thy Maker is thine husband; YAHWEH of hosts is His name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; the Elohim of the whole earth shall He be called,” (Isa. 54:5).
“The portion of Jacob is not like them: for He is the Former of all things; and Israel is the rod of His inheritance: YAHWEH of hosts is His name,” (Jer. 10:16).
“Thus saith YAHWEH, Which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, Which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; YAHWEH of Hosts is His name,” (Jer. 31:35).
“Thou shewest loving kindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty El, YAHWEH of hosts, is His name,” (Jer. 32:18).
“Thus saith YAHWEH the Maker thereof, YAHWEH That formed it, to establish it; YAHWEH is His name,” (Jer. 33:2).
“Their Redeemer is strong; YAHWEH of hosts is His name: He shall thoroughly plead their cause, that He may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon,” (Jer. 50:34).
“The Portion of Jacob is not like them; for He is the Former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: YAHWEH of hosts is His name,” (Jer. 51:19).
“And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, Whose name i
s YAHWEH of hosts,” (Jer. 51:57).COMMENT: Why does YAHWEH repeat time after time that His name is YAHWEH? Isn’t it because He is trying to make a point that His name is great and should be made known and associated with the power and glory of His might? Why do men seek to take His name out of the book that He authored and away from the wonderful works that He performs? Why do men seek to suppress His name? Isn’t it because they are His enemies and they have no delight in His name? Take away the name and the knowledge of it and then the works that the Scriptures speak of can be attributed to another, as Jeremiah proclaims, “I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in My name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed.’ How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets (also can be rendered as “preachers/ministers”) that prophesy lies? Yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; Which think to cause My People to forget My name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten My name for Baal,” (Jer.23: 25-27). (Baal is a word that also means master, lord, husband, etc.)
Even the Savior warned those of His day, “I am come in My Father’s name, and ye receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive,” (Jn. 5:43). Such is the case today. The true names of the Father and Son have been lost to the great overall majority of the peoples of the earth. The Father’s name is His own personal name. That name is YAHWEH. The name of the Savior is YAHshua.
YAHWEH'S adversaries seek to take away the knowledge of His name and then introduce the names of blasphemy. Notice in Rev. 13 that a beast rises up out of the sea with seven heads and on these heads are the names of blasphemy (v. 1). Notice also that the beast speaks great things and blasphemies against YAHWEH, His name, His tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven (vv. 5-6). Notice also that the whole earth worships this great beast (v. 8).
The Psalmist cries out about this period of time, “O Elohim, how long shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name for ever?”( Psa. 74:10).
“Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O YAHWEH and that the foolish people have blasphemed Thy name,” (Psa. 74:18).
The commandment is, “Thou shalt not take the name YAHWEH thy Elohim in vain,” Ex. 20:7. The word “vain” can also men desolation, evil, ruin, guile, or idolatry. This commandment can be interpreted to mean that we shall not make His name desolate. The word “desolate” means left alone, lonely, solitary, uninhabited, deserted, made uninhabitable, laid waste, in a ruinous state, forlorn, wretched, etc. If the knowledge of His name is taken away, then His name has been made desolate.
“Vain” means having no real value or significance, worthless, empty, idle, hollow, without force or effect, futile. Those who do not value His name or teach that it isn’t significant, that it is worthless to utilize His name are making it to be vain. They are making it to be without force or effect. They proclaim that it if futile to know, call upon or speak His name.
However, as pointed out in point #18, we are to think upon His name, speak it to one another and remember it with respect, honor and glory.
Those who have been enemies to YAHWEH, His name and His people will have their names blotted out, “Thou hast rebuked the heathen, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them,” (Psa. 9:5-6).
“Hold not Thy peace, O Elohim of my praise; for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. For my love there are my adversaries…Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with YAHWEH; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. Let them be before YAHWEH continually, that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth,” (Psa. 1-5, 13-15). “…the name of the wicked shall rot,”( Prov. 10:7).
After all the evidence is weighed in the balance of the Word of YAHWEH, can anyone presume to think that YAHWEH'S Holy Name is not important or to be respect, set-apart, and used exclusively in our worship through songs, prayers and thanksgivings? Remember what was said in the beginning of this article? “Our authority must be the Holy Scriptures!” After a diligent search of the Holy Scriptures, just what have we learned? What truths stand out in regard to the Holy name of Our Creator YAHWEH?

30.All enemies will be destroyed by the name YAHWEH.
31.YAHWEH'S name endures forever.
32.His name is great.
33.His name is YAHWEH.
And now all peoples, I challenge you: In the magnified light of the Word of YAHWEH, how can you not worship Him by calling on His name through:Songs
Praises
Thanksgivings
Testimony and
Reverence and fear?
And above all, I leave you with YAHWEH'S challenge: “The prophet that hath a dream, let him speak My word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat?’ saith YAHWEH. Is not My word like as a fire? saith YAHWEH; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith YAHWEH, that steal My words everyone from his neighbour….But the message of YAHWEH you no longer remember! For every man’s message is his own word, for you have changed the words of the living Elohim YAHWEH of hosts, our Elohim,” (Jer. 23:28-30, 36)When a person is truely learned in the scriptures, and then comes to realize how much importance is attached to YAHWEH'S NAME( not titles), it is beyond my belief that people could keep preferring to calling the Father Yahweh by heathen paganistic idol titles such as ” Lord= Baal and Gad=God “”.
Can you honestly with a clear conscious still keep calling Yahweh the true Father by idol pagan titles after truely studying this Article?
Shalom,

I have a question. It's about Jesus (Yeshua or Yahshua or Yehoshua?)I was reading this the forum and came across a guy named Pastor Adam who said that Yahshua cannot be the proper way Jesus' name was in Hebrew. He said grammatically, that is impossible, and that it should be Yeshua. You probably know more about this than him. What are your thoughts on this.
david
David, in Scriptural Hebrew, the Messiah had the same similar name as Yahushua( = Joshua), but with a slight difference.
If you check the New Testament Greek manuscripts, you will find the Greek name used for the Messiah as IHCOYC(iota, eta, sigma, omicron, upsilon, sigma) and other variations such as IHCOY, IHCOYN, IHCOI depending on the grammatical structure of the sentence. This is a poor attempt to transliterate the name JOSHUA from the Hebrew O.T.. In the N.T. Greek manuscripts you will find the name IHCOYC and its variations abbreviated as IC,IN, IY or as IHC, IHN, IHY (also called the nomina sacra) with a line over the top of these abbreviated letters which can stand for a name, a word, or a number in the Greek manuscripts. It is very rare to see the name IHCOYC written out in full in the N.T. Greek manuscripts.
Now that we have some idea what the name for the Messiah looks like in the Greek. We have to go back to the Hebrew to look for his true name, for he was a Hebrew of Hebrew parents and he had a Hebrew name. We can't compare Greek with Hebrew but we can compare Greek with Greek. The Old Testament was translated into the Greek about 300 years before the Messiah in the Septuagint (LXX). So if we take the name for the Messiah in the Greek N.T. and we look for an identical name in the Greek O.T. we will find that the only name that does match is the name for JOSHUA and is also written as IHCOYC in the Old Testament Greek with its variations.
In the O.T. Greek the name IHCOYC is usually written out in full but there are manuscripts where it is also abbreviated just like in the N.T. Greek.
Now that we have established that the Messiah's name in the N.T. Greek is identical to the name of JOSHUA in the O.T. Greek, we must find out what the Hebrew name is.
The name of JOSHUA in the O.T. Hebrew is usually written as YOD, HE, VAV, SHIN, AYIN (five letters) and pronounced as YAHUSHUA. But is also written in its fuller form twice as YOD, HE, VAV, SHIN, VAV, AYIN (six letters) in Judges 2:7 & Deuteronomy 3:21 also pronounced as YAHUSHUA.
However there are two forms of this name.
We have now established the name of JOSHUA in Hebrew as YAHUSHUA (yod, he, vav, shin, vav, ayin) with six Hebrew letters. We have also proved that the Messiah's name and Joshua's name are identical in the Greek. But there is one major difference between the names of these two men. And that difference is the fourth letter of the Father's name. Joshua only carries three letters of the Father's name as do other people in the O.T. . The Messiah carries the fullness of His Father's name with all four letters and so the Messiah's name is YAHUAHSHUA (yod, he, vav, he, shin, vav, ayin) with seven Hebrew letters. Some of the N.T. scriptures that prove the Messiah's unique name are: (Acts 4:12; Ephesians 1:20,21; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1:4).
We also know that the Messiah's name is unique because there are other people in both the O.T. and in the N.T. with the name of Jesus. In (Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8 )the Jesus name here is Joshua the son of Nun. In (Colossians 4:11) it is Jesus called Justus. In( Acts 13:6 )there is Bar-Jesus where the word Bar is Aramaic for son.
Yeshua (yod, shin, vav, ayin) is a short form of Yahushua the true scriptural name of the Messiah, for in (Matt.1:21) it says “” thou shaly call his name Yahushua:FOR HE WILL SAVE HIS PEPLE FROM THEIR SINS””, and His Name literally means Yahweh is Salvation, or Savior of Yahweh, or Yahweh is salvation.
Yeshua is the modern short form for the older scriptural name of Yahushua.
Eliyah C.
eliyah, i've learned that the number you gave 6,828 for the number of times YHWH appears, concerns only the old testament. is it a possibility the tetragrammaton appears many more times in the new testament if it was originally written in hebrew instead of greek?
Yes, we have every reason to believe that it appears a couple hundred times in the Greek scriptures.
Yes BrandonIke it would have been even more, if the translators had not substituted those idol pagan titles in place of it in the New Testament.
Yes Your true, I was ONLY giving the Old sacred Scriptures.
Compare ( Acts 2:21) with the original texts where Peter quoted from ( Joel 2:32) and Paul in ( Rom.10:13).
The original name should have been in those New Testament texts, because BOTH Peter and Paul quoted directly from ( Joel 2:32) where the name is YHWH=YAHWEH under the title of ” Lord “.
Yes your Right.
David, The New World Translation has the name “” Jehovah ” in ( Acts 2:21) and ( Rom.10:13) the same as ( Joel 2:32).
Yes, YHWH should would have been there, it was covered up with the pagan title of ” lord ” in those text.
Please people search this out, you will see i'm telling you the truth, I lie not, as Yah is my witness, I would NEVER say anything wrong of scriptures to hurt people or lead them astray, I FEAR YAH TOO MUCH TO DO THAT.

Eliyah,Thanks for the contribution. I plan to make the time to read your OP.
Greetings Cubes,
This is not my Oppinion, but please remember to investigate this also in original words of scriptures, WITH AN OPEN MIND, and not with pre-conceived ideas as all of us learned from childhood.
Thanks,
Shalom( Peace),
Eliyah C.
Re-read the importance of Yah's True Name again, and please notice and look up each scripture in detail, it is those who DO NOT call upon His true Name who practices Idolatry, and who will receive His plaques of Wrath upon them in the end.
