DID YOU KNOW?

YaHuW (H3058)

YaHuWaH is He, the Creator left 100 witnesses to testify of His set apart name?

Did You Know, that the English Bible, as we know it, is a heavily translated and significantly diluted version of the rich history and culture of melanated Hebrew people? To truly understand the ToRaH, it's imperative that we approach them with an open mind and detach ourselves from emotional biases, and view them from the perspective of the Hebrew people. The prevailing Western mindset has led to considerable misinterpretations of the Hebrew ToRaH. This oversight has, unfortunately, led the masses to embrace false ideologies, incorrect names, misleading images, false prophets, deceptive symbols, and unauthorized methods of worship, often rooted in man-made traditions that were never commanded by the Heavenly Father YaHuWaH and did not originate with His people, the Hebrews in the ToRaH. It's worth acknowledging that the Christian New Testament contains several significant contradictions with the Hebrew ToRaH (supposedly its foundation), including approximately 400,000 scribal errors.

Considering that the Ancient Hebrews in the Hebrew ToRaH were never instructed by YaHuWaH to establish a religious framework or engage in worship involving pagan customs, holidays, imagery of men, statues, symbols, or idols representing anything or anyone, deep and impartial research brings to light a series of compelling facts. These facts make it clear that Christianity had no solid foundation to build upon. A historical exploration reveals that the Roman Catholic Church (at the Council of Nicaea), with its pagan origins, birthed various forms of solar and sun-worshiping religions, such as Astrolatry, which revolved around the movement of the sun and stars.

With a vast array of Christian denominations, numbering over 200 in the United States and a staggering 45,000 worldwide, it becomes evident why this popular, emotion-driven, personal interpretative, and truth-compromising aspect of their pagan religion continues to exert considerable influence. This is why history records the existence of numerous cultures that featured various gods and saviors, many of whom were considered demigods, born of the union between a deity and a mortal, a concept that might sound familiar, as seen in the European representation of Jesus. While many Christians profess their love and service to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, when scrutinized closely, it becomes apparent that they tend to disregard YaHuWaH, who, in truth, is the ALuWaH (H433 mighty one) of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Hebrews of the Bible.

After years of dedicated and impartial research, the purpose of this information is to serve as an initial point or a stepping stone for those embarking on their journey toward YaHuWaH’s ToRaH. We do not lay claim to knowing everything, but as we allocate time to seek YaHuWaH and follow HIS ToRaH, our understanding grows, and we are guided by YaHuWaH’s ToRaH. It is essential for everyone to conduct their own unbiased research and critically evaluate everything that is presented to them. Resist the impulse to react emotionally and, instead, challenge the Christian New Testament against YaHuWaH’s ToRaH by independently researching and uncovering the facts. While it's perfectly acceptable to hold a differing viewpoint on any subject matter, defending that viewpoint using one's personal opinion or emotions is ultimately futile against hard facts!

The same principle applies to the Hebrew ToRaH, and when people attempt to grasp YaHuWaH’s instructions using their ingrained Christian Westernized mindset, many tend to rely on their individual understanding because it resonates with them (MaShaL 3:5-6, "Proverbs"). If we neglect the effort to comprehend the mind of ABa YaHuWaH (through humility and study of the Hebrew ToRaH in its proper context), we may inadvertently challenge the ToRaH and assert that YaHuWaH ALuWaH (the Mighty One, but often translated as the generic title "God" in English) endorses our opinions and emotions.

Residing in the United States, or any other part of the world with its respective languages, does not grant individuals the right to dismiss, modify, or show disrespect to the original cultural history of a Hebraic nation, or any cultural heritage for that matter. Scripture, as stated in MaShaL 4:7 (Proverbs), underscores the importance of seeking understanding, which involves conducting thorough research and considering various perspectives when examining any issue. It warns against the folly of being uninterested in understanding, as it reflects the behavior of those who simply seek to hear their own opinions reiterated by others (MaShaL 18:2-3 “Proverbs”). Responding to information without knowledge and relying solely on emotion represents a high degree of ignorance. The Hebrew ToRaH provides valuable wisdom regarding hasty emotional reactions, and this applies to information, even if it challenges popular beliefs or doesn't align with personal opinions.

Scriptures wisely caution us against reacting to a matter without first obtaining a full understanding (MaShaL 18:12-15 “Proverbs”). Engaging in a puzzle without having all its pieces would be imprudent, as it leads to incorrect perceptions of what the puzzle is truly meant to represent. Ignorance, jealousy, or pride should not jeopardize your RuWaCh (spirit) by causing you to disregard the truth based on emotions or passed-down traditions of men, as perpetuated by the pagan Roman Catholic and Christian church system, transmitted through generations (who were also misled). Our responsibility, as defenders of YaHuWaH’s ToRaH is to convey HIS truth, not to impose our belief. Our intention is not to make you adopt our perspective but to encourage you to think critically and independently based on the ToRaH.


YAHUW IN NAMES AND PLACES

 The 3 English consonants/letters "YHW" or in Hebrew the 3 consonants/letters "יהו", is the contracted form for the Creator YaHuWaH. Every time those 3 HEBREW consonants/letters "יהו", or "YHW" are together, it’s ALWAYS pronounced, "YaHuW" (H3058). Using two of the original pure Paleo Hebrew vowel sounds, (NOT Aramaic or Greek) this IS the proper pronunciation of these 3 letters "יהו" (in Hebrew those letters are called the Yad, Hay, and Waw or in modern Hebrew Yod, Hey, and Waw). The letters "YHW" or "YaHuW" (like Yahoo) are the proper short name for the Heavenly Father YaHuWaH (Ya-hoo-wah) and the Strong's concordance backs this up 100 times in its data! 

As we have explained many times, NOT only is THE LETTER "J" the last addition to the English alphabet but the letter "J" (which WAS a Yad or "Y" in the original ABaRiY text) and "V" (which WAS a "W" or "WaW" in Hebrew text) DID NOT exist in the original Paleo Hebrew / Phoenician alphabet. In ABaRiY, they wrote words without vowels, hence ALL words were written with consonants only (abjad). The vowel sounds were always pronounced, but they just didn't write them in their words, also in ABaRiY words were originally written from right to left, ex: יהוה = HWHY or HaWuHaY. In ABaRiY when it comes to names, the majority of them had an original long form (which held history, meaning lineage, and power), but unfortunately, over time those names have been changed, modernized, and shorted down (which removes its history, meaning, lineage and power).

The contracted form for the Creator YaHuWaH consists of the three English consonants/letters "YHW" or in Hebrew, "יהו." Whenever these three Hebrew consonants/letters "יהו" appear together, they are consistently pronounced "YaHuW" (H3058), employing two of the original pure Paleo Hebrew vowel sounds, and this represents the proper pronunciation. Notably, this pronunciation of "YHW" or "YaHuW" is affirmed approximately 100 times in Strong's Concordance. As previously explained, the letter "J" was a later addition to the English alphabet, and the letter "V" was originally represented by "W" or "WaW" in the Hebrew text. The original Paleo Hebrew/Phoenician alphabet did not include the letter "J," and words in Hebrew were written with consonants only, with vowels being pronounced but not written. Additionally, Hebrew words were originally written from right to left, such as יהוה = HWHY or HaWuHaY. In Hebrew, many names had an original long form, which held historical, meaningful, and lineage significance. Unfortunately, over time, names have been altered, modernized, and shortened, leading to a loss of their historical, meaningful, and lineage value.

Examples of names with the Heavenly Father’s name in theirs:

  ALiYaHuW "Elijah", YaRaMiYaHuW "Jeremiah", YaHuWShuWA "Joshua", ADuWNiYaHuW "Adonay", YaShAYaHuW "isaiah", YaHuWDaH "Judah",  etc...

 

YaHuW H3058

YaHuW.jpg

 

YaHuW means "YaHuWaH is He or He is YaHuWaH"

 

Each of the 100 words or names (being a witness to YaHuWaH's TRUE NAME) can ALL be broken down and tracked back to their ABaRY (Hebrew) roots. When you do this, you will find the Creator’s short name YHW (YaHuW) in each name or word. Let’s use the English name "Matthew" for example. In the Strong's Concordance its G3156 (G meaning a Greek word) and it says the meaning of the name "Matthew" is "gift of JeHoVaH"

You can break down each of these 100 words or names that serve as witnesses to YaHuWaH's TRUE NAME and trace them back to their Hebrew roots. In doing so, you'll discover that the Creator's short name, YHW (YaHuW), is present in each of these names or words. For instance, let's consider the English name "Matthew" as an example. In the Strong's Concordance, it is listed as G3156 (with "G" indicating a Greek word), and it provides the meaning of the name "Matthew" as "gift of JeHoVaH."

 

Azariah H5838 AZaRiYaH

Pronunciation: az-ar-yaw'

Transliteration: ʿăzaryâ

Meaning: "Jehovah has helped"

Root Word: עָזַר (H5826) “to help, support” and יָהּ (H3050) “Jah - Jehovah in the shortened form, the proper name of the one true God”

 

As we mentioned before ANYTIME a word or name has "JeHoVaH" in the meaning, YaHuWaH's short name YHW (YaHuW) IS IN that name. We can’t see or know this beautiful fact in the English-translated name "Matthew" so we have to dig. Go get your shovel…


Mattathias - G3161 - Ματταθίας

Phonetic Spelling: mät-tä-thē'-äs

Transliteration: Mattathias

Root Word: Of Hebrew origin מתתיה (H4993)

 

OK now we see that this name "Mattathias" is of Hebrew origin H4993, put some elbow grease on it we have to dig EVEN further...


Matithyah - H4993 - מתתיה

Phonetic Spelling: mat·tith·yä'

Transliteration: Mattithyah

Meaning: "gift of YaHuWaH"

Root Word: From מתת (H4991) and יה (H3050)

short form: מתתיה Matathyâh
original form: מתתיהו Matathyâhûw

 

OK now we see the fruits of our HARD work, "Mattathyah" is the Hebrew name for the English name "Matthew", but look further; the original full length 6 lettered name is מתתיהו or MaThaThiYaHuW. So NOW we see that we must dig to find the gold nugget that was buried from us all. This NOW makes sense that MaThaThiYaHuW's name means "Gift of YaHuWaH" because YaHuWaH's short name is in MaThaThiYaHuW, beautiful! This is why it is so critical that we study to show ourselves approved unto YaHuWaH and NOT man. If your pastor is NOT teaching you these fundamental breakdowns, RUN out of that Babylonian Christian Harlot Church QUICK! (YaRaMiYaHuW 51:45 "Jeremiah")

All our diligent work has led us to a meaningful discovery. "Mattathyah" is the Hebrew name corresponding to the English name "Matthew." Going further, the original full-length form of this name is מתתיהו or MaThaThiYaHuW. Now, the significance becomes clear – MaThaThiYaHuW's name means "Gift of YaHuWaH" because YaHuWaH's short name is embedded within MaThaThiYaHuW. This underscores the importance of independent study to seek approval from YaHuWaH rather than relying solely on human teachings. If your pastor is not providing you with these essential insights, it's advisable to depart from that Christian Church promptly (YaRaMiYaHuW 51:45 "Jeremiah"). 

His name is NOT "MathathJeHoV"

 

MaTaThiYaHuW ROOT WORDS:

MaThaTh - H4991 - מתת

Phonetic Spelling: mat·täth' 

Transliteration: mathath

Meaning:"gift, reward"

YaH - H3050 - יהוה

Phonetic Spelling: yä 

Transliteration: Yah

Root Word: Contraction for יהוה (H3068) YHWH (YaHuWaH)

"MaThaThiYaHuW"

Meaning: "gift or reward of YaHuWaH"

The Creators short name YaHuW appears 27 times at the beginning of names (you will see in some concordances that when YHW is at the beginning of names or words, it’s rendered as “YeHoW”, this is due to the Greek vowels/sounds (“E / eh” and “o”) being used, and NOT the pure original Semitic / ABaRiY vowels a ("ah" sound), i ("ee" sound as in tree) and u ("oo" sound like in blue).

Never allow anyone to deceive you by claiming that no one can pronounce the Heavenly Father's true name or that His name is inconsequential. Furthermore, NEVER did the Cretaor YaHuWaH say that HIS name is NEVER to be pronounced. If YaHuWaH has inscribed His name in 100 words or names, it is intended as a lasting memorial for all generations (ShaMuWTh 3:15 "Exodus").

In the Hebrew language and culture, which aligns with the language of the Hebrew ToRaH scriptures, names encompass history, lineage, identity, significance, and power. These are the truths that certain individuals aim to obliterate from the collective consciousness. Those of us who uphold the truth will never permit that to occur, for we are MaLAK's (messengers/representatives) of truth, summoned by YaHuWaH to declare and safeguard His QaDaSh name!


SCHOLARLY RESOURCES

In the Hebrew TaNaKh, some names contain the Hebrew letters "יהו" (Yod, He, Waw). These letters are often associated with the Tetragrammaton, the four-letter Hebrew name of the God of Israel, and is pronounced as "YaHuWaH". These names incorporate elements of the divine name, but they do not necessarily represent the full Tetragrammaton. Instead, they are shortened or modified forms that still reference the divine name in various ways.

It's important to note that the usage and interpretation of divine names in the Hebrew Bible can be complex and subject to scholarly debate. Different scholars may have varying perspectives on the significance and implications of names containing divine elements.

Importance of Names in Hebrew Culture:

In Hebrew culture, names hold significant importance, serving as more than just identifiers. They reflect character, destiny, divine purpose, or circumstances surrounding an individual's birth. Here are some key points and scholarly resources that explore the cultural significance of names in Hebrew culture:

  1. Identity and Character:

    • Names often encapsulate a person’s identity and character. For instance, the name "Isaac" (יִצְחָק, Yitzhak) means "he will laugh," reflecting the joy and laughter associated with his birth (Genesis 21:6).

  2. Divine Connection:

    • Names can denote a person’s relationship with God. For example, "Israel" (יִשְׂרָאֵל, Yisrael) means "one who struggles with God," reflecting Jacob’s struggle and subsequent blessing (Genesis 32:28).

  3. Prophetic and Destinational:

    • Names can have prophetic significance, foretelling the destiny or role of an individual. For example, "Isaiah" (יְשַׁעְיָהוּ, Yasha'yahu) means "YaHuWaH is salvation," reflecting his prophetic mission.

  4. Circumstantial:

    • Names often reflect the circumstances of birth or significant events. For instance, "Ichabod" (אִיכָבוֹד, Ikhavod) means "the glory has departed" (1 Samuel 4:21), marking the loss of the Ark of the Covenant.

    Scholarly Resources:

    Books and Articles:

Conclusion

In Hebrew culture, names are deeply significant, reflecting identity, divine connection, destiny, and circumstantial events. The mentioned books, articles, journals, and online databases provide detailed and peer-reviewed insights into the importance of names in Hebrew tradition.

The Hebrew TaNaKh does not contain a commandment from the God of Israel forbidding the speaking of His name.

Key Passages:

Exodus 20:7 (Third Commandment):

  • Text: "You shall not take the name of YaHuWaH your God in vain, for YaHuWaH will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain."

  • Context: This commandment emphasizes the seriousness and sanctity of YaHuWaH’s name, leading to caution in using the Creator’s name in falsehood (to swear falsely), in deception of speech, lying, or worthlessness (H7723).

Leviticus 24:11, 16:

  • Text: "Anyone who blasphemes the name of YaHuWaH is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death."

  • Context: This verse underscores the severe consequences of misusing YaHuWaH’s name, reinforcing the idea of treating it with utmost respect.

Judaism Rabbinic Tradition:

The Hebrew ToRaH never commands avoiding the use of YaHuWaH's name. However, within Judaism, a rabbinic tradition developed over time which resulted in the custom of refraining from pronouncing the Creator's name. This tradition includes:

  • Mishnah (Sanhedrin 10:1): Discusses the importance of proper conduct concerning sacred matters, contributing to the cautious approach to pronouncing the divine name.

  • Talmud (Berakhot 33a): Reiterates the sanctity of God's name and the importance of using it with reverence.

    The Practice of Avoiding the Pronunciation:

  • Adonai: In place of YHWH, Jews often say "Adonai," meaning "Lord," during prayers and readings.

  • Ha’Shem: Meaning "The Name," is another common substitute used in casual speech.

    Scholarly Resources:

  • "The Name of God in Jewish Thought: A Philosophical Analysis of Mystical Traditions from Apocalyptic to Kabbalah" by Michael T. Miller: Explores the historical and philosophical perspectives on the divine name in Jewish thought.

  • "The Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary" by Robert Alter: Provides insights into the translation and interpretation of biblical texts, including the usage of God's name.

  • "The Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary": Contains detailed entries on the significance and treatment of the divine name in biblical and post-biblical times.

Conclusion

While the Hebrew ToRaH never contains a direct commandment prohibiting the speaking of YaHuWaH's name, certain passages emphasize using caution and respect regarding the God of Israel’s name. Over time, this has led to Jewish traditions and rabbinic teachings that avoid pronouncing the Tetragrammaton to maintain its sanctity. Throughout the Hebrew Bible, the God of Israel wants His name YaHuWaH known to the world for all His might works. This is why His name is stated over 7000 times and mankind is commanded to never add or remove from His ToRaH. Replacing the Creators name with Adonai or Ha’Shem is actually disrespecting His sacred name.

YaShAYaHuW 42:8 “Isaiah”

I am יהוה (YaHuWaH): that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

We don't claim to be self-professed prophets, teachers, leaders, or mentors, and we're not part of any clique, sect, or recruitment center. The resources mentioned on our website and YouTube channel, such as Strong's Concordance, Encyclopedia Britannica, the dictionary, word etymology, etc., serve as tools for a broader perspective. Nonetheless, our ultimate trust remains in the unchanging ToRaH of the Creator and God of Israel. We always encourage everyone to measure all opinions against the unchanging ToRaH of the Creator and God of Israel.

There is no commandment in the Hebrew ToRaH from the God of Israel stating that all Israelites must pray through someone to commune with Him. Instead, the Hebrew TaNaKh emphasizes direct communication between individuals and YaHuWaH, without the need for intermediaries.

 

BaT DaBaR 7:14 “2 Chronicles” Hebrew TaNaKh

14 When my people, who bear MY NAME humble themselves, pray, and seek my favor and TURN from their evil ways; I will hear in my heavenly abode, and FORGIVE their sins, and will heal their land.

11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
