SIGN 1 – PART 3 – The Correct Names of our God and His Son

DO NOT TAKE THE NAME OF YAHWEH IN VAIN

The third commandment tells us “You shall not take the name of YHWH your Elohim in vain.” In vain means to change, falsify or to make common. Yet almost 7,000 times in the English translations from the original Hebrew Texts, the translators took out the Sacred name of our Creator, YAHWEH, and replace it with either the word “God” or “Lord”.

God and Lord are titles not personal names, and if you go back to the origin of these words, they also are very suspect. YHWH is omnipotent and everlasting and all merciful, but again these are titles but are not His personal name.

Taking out the personal name of YHWH, or in Hebrew, it is the letters, Yod, Hey, Vav, Hey, almost 7,000 times and replacing it with a generic title of lord or god, is definitely breaking the third commandment. It is changing the name of the Creator, it is falsifying His true name to another false one, and it is making it common, by making it a common everyday title, instead of a personal name. I am a woman, but there are many women, but when my personal name of Mattaniah is used, then it is separated from not just speaking of any woman, but a specific one.

Does the Heavenly Father tell us in scripture what His personal name is?

Exo 3:15 And Elohim said to Moses again, You shall say this to the sons of Israel, YAHWEH, the Elohe of your fathers, the Elohe of Abraham, the Elohe of Isaac, and the Elohe of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is how I should be remembered from generation to generation.

Does He also say that this is HIS NAME FOREVER? Same verse

Clearly, from the scriptures, YAHWEH, is the name that the Creator called Himself for all generations; it most interesting that every human is so prideful to his own personal name. If your name is Bill, and someone kept calling you Joe, it would be quite offensive. It would even be more than offensive, but hurtful, if someone that you know very well, such as your Pastor of 10 years, suddenly forgot your name. In Hebrew every name has meaning. Elijah means, YAHWEH is my El, Daniel means Elohim is my Judge, and so on. There is not a name in Hebrew that does not have a meaning, and yet we are to think that somehow the Creator of the universe, the Name above all Names, doesn’t have a Name and doesn’t care what we call Him?

How then did the name of YAHWEH get changed?

Remember before in the years 1500’s there were no printing presses, so bibles were only kept in synagogues and churches, but after the invention of the printing press, bibles could be printed for the use of the average person.

One of the first bibles to be printed was the King James bible around 1592, which actually kept the shortened form of YAHWEH or Yah, but due to anti-Semitic pogroms against the Jewish people, anything that even remotely looked Jewish, was replaced with something else, and men decided to take out of the bible the Name above all Names, the very name of the Creator of the universe, YAHWEH, and replace it with titles such as lord and god.

The bible was originally written in Hebrew, as where English is a modern language, only several hundred years old, and is based from other languages, such as Germanic, and Latin etc. It was merely because of tradition that the name of YAHWEH was taken out of scripture almost 7,000 times and replaced with generic titles, breaking the third commandment. It should also be noted that the men who translated these bibles, also had an anti-Torah bias, and were Sunday keepers, as well as keeping many other pagan traditions.

Personal names are transliterated not translated. The word water in English is translated aqua in Italian. There is no connection whatsoever to these two words; they are totally different in two different languages. But personal names, such as George Bush, are not translated, but transliterated, into any given language. This means that the name stays the same; it may just be phonetically pronounced a little different, in each language. Listen to a broadcast in Spanish and you will hear all Spanish words, and then a name such as George Bush. So, names stay the same no matter what language they are in.

So since names are not translated but transliterated, can the word “God” be a transliteration of the name YAHWEH, when they have no phonetic connection whatsoever?

Exo 3:13 And Moses said to ‘God’, behold I shall come to the sons of Israel and say to them, the ‘God’ of your fathers has sent me to you; and they will say to me, what is His name? What shall I say to them?”

Clearly, ‘God’ or more correctly rendered Elohim in the Hebrew, was a generic title and was not His name, because they asked, “which God?”; going back to the Israelites and telling them that ‘God’ appeared to him, would have brought the question, “which God? Clearly ‘God’ is not the personal name of the Creator. ‘God’ can mean any God. Allah is god to the Muslims, Vishnu is god to the Hindus, and the Hebrew word Elohim which is being translated in most bibles as ‘god’, is a generic title for deity, as where YAHWEH is a personal name.

The oracles of YAHWEH (His word) were given to the Jews to preserve the Torah for the New Testament congregation. Due to the reference that Judaism placed on the name of YAHWEH though they actually stopped pronouncing the sacred name, and in doing so actually did away with the name of YAHWEH instead of preserving it.

This actually turned out to be a blessing for secular mankind that blasphemes the incorrect name of “god” daily. According to the third commandment “He will not be held guiltless who blasphemes the name of YAHWEH”. Again in the original Hebrew, the sin is blaspheming the name of our Creator “YAHWEH”, not blaspheming an added name or title that someone added in later.

Has our Heavenly Father actually blessed people who are non believers by keeping His name hidden from them so they could not blaspheme it?

Rom 11:32 For YAHWEH has shut up all into disobedience, that he may show mercy to all.

Our Heavenly Father YAHWEH is so merciful that He has kept the vast majority of the world hidden from His true name, in order to protect them from inadvertently cursing or blaspheming His sacred name and therefore bringing curses on themselves and their families. This is truly an act of mercy on His part, but it is also a great blessing to His called out Chosen covenant people that He has revealed His blessed name to them in these end times.

Did you know that there is only one word in all the word that is universal and the same in any language? At first thought, one might think it is a simple word like “yes” or “no”, but it is not. The only universal word in all the world is HalleluYAH! Which simply means PRAISE YAH !

YAHWEH is the great Creator of the universe. Anything that has life was created by Him. As a matter of fact, the Hebrew word for create, which is “Barah” can only be used for YAHWEH in Hebrew, because only He is the great Creator of the universe. Since everything that is created whether it be the trees, or the animal, or even the people on this planet, everything and everyone has been created by YAHWEH, we are all part of His creation and therefore everything that has breathe should praise the great name of our Creator that made us and gave us life.

Shalom

Mattaniah
