Come Out of Her My People, by C.J. Koster
NOTES AND REFERENCES
1 The Scriptural Name of our Heavenly Father, which the Massoretes vowel-pointed to read “Yehowah,” and later on interpreted by some Christian theologians as “Yahweh.” R. Laird Harris, Gleason L. Archer Jnr. and Bruce K. Waltke’s Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament, vol. 1, p. 211, says because the word [Name] were spelled with four letters, “we would expect it to have more than two syllables.” Other scholars of Hebrew agree, and therefore do not accept the form “Yahweh,” which only has two syllables, of course. The Yehudim in the Babylonian exile retained the Yahu- (rather than Yeho-) in the Yahwistic names of ordinary people, as we find it in the Marasu texts. Clement of Alexandria also retained the Name for us as he recorded it in Greek a Iaoue (pronounced: Ya-oo-eh), and similarly retained for us in the Ethiopian Apocrypha. This form is also preferred by The Oxford English Dictionary which reproduces it as: IaHUeH, as well as by the French Grande Encyclopedie. The form which the Massoretes left us, namely “Yehowah,” might have been rendered in truth, or else it was done to “disguise” the Name, in accordance with the instruction given in the Mishnaic text of Tamid vii 2 (=Sota vii 6) _ we don’t know for certain. Christian theologians teach that the Name consists of four consonants. However, Josephus, a Jew himself, emphatically stated that the Name “consists of four vowels” (note well: not four consonants). This is therefore often written as IAUE, pronounced Ya-oo-eh. [Color and bolding added]
6 [Yahushua] This is the transliteration of the Name of our Saviour, the form we prefer at present. However, the form “Yehoshua” is the preference of all theological authorities, Bible dictionaries and ordinary encyclopedias. All of them admit that the original Name of “Jesus” was “Yehoshua” or “Jehoshua.” They base their stand on the fact that, whole the Hebrew text calls the successor of Moses “Yehoshua,” the Greek translation of the “Old Testament,” the Septuagint, renders the name of Moses’ successor as “Iesous,” which we call “Jesus” in English. Because of the uncertainty of the Father’s Name being either “Yahuweh” or “Yehowah,” we similarly accept either “Yahushua” or “Yehoshua.” After the partial return of the exiles from Babylonian captivity we find that Moses’ successor was called “Yeshua,” thereby omitting the second and third letters of the name “Yehoshua.” This could have been done because of the avoidance of the Father’s Name since the return from exile, another sign of the post-exilic apostasy. This form “Yeshua” subsequently became used for our Messiah among Jewish believers. However, “Yeshua” is not a personal or proper name, it is merely a common noun meaning “salvation,” and its use as a name had its origin amongst those speaking Aramaic, not Hebrew. Moreover, the name Yeshua does not qualify for being “the Name which is above every name,” neither does it contain the Father’s Name which after all indeed qualifies for being “the Name which is above every name.” One would therefore expect our Messiah’s Name to begin with Yahu- or Yeho-. Anyone can verify the fact of Messiah’s Name (as it was inspired in Hebrew) by looking it up in any authoritative source, such as Kittel’s Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, wherein it is printed as [yod, hey, waw shiyn, ayin].
P.S. Even this [yod, hey, waw shiyn, ayin] is shortened from the original which was [yod, hey, waw shiyn, waw, ayin]

Greetings and salutations in the Name of the King, brothers and sisters:
Peace be unto the house.
For those who are interested, the following chapter from, The Sacred Name, by R. Clover, is one of the most in depth studies of the name of the Creator that we have found to date: http://www.yahweh.org/publications/sny/sn09Chap.pdf
You will need Acrobat Reader to read this so if you do not have it, here is where you may download a free version of it: http://www.adobe.com/
For those not wishing to read the entire study here for the edification of the body of anointed ones is the conclusion of Chapter IX (9), entitled, Is the Correct Pronunciation Known?:
quote:
Conclusion
The evidence proves that the pronunciation of the sacred name was never lost; it has always been there for anyone willing to seek it out. As Joseph Rotherham conludes, “The exact pronunciation claims a word to itself.” (118) Remarkable is the fact that the four sacred letters forming the sacred name are all vowels, thereby making them free from any need of other vowels to aid in their enunciation. The name stands by itself; a perfect name in its structure. Its original sounds are easily and completely understood by the four vowel letters alone.
Despite the fact that many still try and force the four letters of the sacred name into the role of consonants, and therefore try to place vowels between them, they cannot escape the compelling conclusion that the sacred name is pronounced “Yah-oo-ay.” In English we can transliterate [yod, hey, waw, hey] as “Yahweh” if we understand that our “w” is to be sounded as “oo” and our “eh” as “ay”. Once it is realized that we are dealing with four vowels rather than four consonants, this conclusion becomes inescapable.

An excerpt from another chapter of the above book:
New Standard Bible Dictionary (1936) reveals that Presbyterian and other Christian scholars were aware of how the name Jehovah came into existence:
quote:
The name Jehovah is impossible, according to the strict principles of Heb. vocalization. It is due to the arbitrary transference of the vowels of ‘adhônây, ‘lord,’ to the sacred name [yod, hey, waw, hey] after the Jews became over scrupulous as to the pronunciation of the name.(9)
As time went on the sacredness of the name Jehovah (Yahweh) was increasingly emphasized until at last it was considered profanation to pronounce it even in religious exercises. This avoidance of the name had probably become common usage in New Testament times. In reading the Scriptures, for Yahweh was substituted either ‘Adhônây (Lord) or ‘Elôhîm (God), and at last even in writing the text the vowels of ‘Adhonay were attached to Yahweh making it appear as if it were pronounced Yehôwâh, whence the English ‘Jehovah’.

Greetings and salutations in the name of the King, brothers and sisters:
Peace be unto the house.
We have been asked to post this information concerning the Name above all names in the open forum. Be aware that it apparently goes, at least in part, against our findings in the opening post. Be that as it may, here is what we have discovered of late, because after all, it is truth which we must seek, and not mere validation of our own stilted opinions.
The Supreme Suveran's [our God's] proper name is made of four Hebrew semi-vowels or vowel/consonants; they are yod, hey, waw, hey. Now, if one looks up, in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible and Brown-Driver-Briggs' Hebrew Lexicon, the name that Adam reportedly gave his woman (wife), we find that it is spelled in the Hebrew, hey, waw, hey, the same as the last three letters of the proper name of the Creator (Supreme Suveran). If we look at James Strong's pronunciation of the name of the first woman we see that he claims that it is pronounced khav-vaw'. However, if we go to a more modern source of information, and hopefully one that has accumulated more evidence as to the truth of the matter, here is what we find.
Webster's New World Dictionary of American English, Third College Edition, copyright 1988-96, page 470
Eve [[ME < LL(Ec) Eva, Heva < Heb Hawwâh, lit. life, living being]] [Emphasis added]
Though it didn't come through clearly in this medium, the line over the second "â", in Webster's English transliteration of the Hebrew name of Adam's woman (wife), is a straight line. This is called a pronounciation guide and tells us that the "ah" at the end of this name is pronounced as the English "long a", which of course is an "ay" sound. This, not too surprisingly, matches up perfectly with the "Conclusion" in The Sacred Name [study] by R. Clover, shown above.
It is important too, to notice that there is no "v" sound whatsoever according to the authors of Webster's 1988-96 dictionary, but rather there are two W's, which means that we presumably end up with a word that is pronounced haw-oo-ay'. If this is correct, and we have reason to believe that it is, we have but to put the yod or "Y" sound back on front of this word and we have the pronunciation of the Proper Name of the Creator, the so-called Sacred Name, i.e. ee-haw-oo-ay'. If anyone questions where we got the "oo" sound, try this; say the word "way" very, very slowly (331/3 rpm) and you will hear that the semi-vowel English "W" does indeed (in truth) have the "oo" sound.
Through study we have come to the conclusion that this error of the "V sound" (upper teeth against lower lip) came from transliterating the Hebrew into the Latin. The Roman [LL(Ec)] "V" and "U" were at one time the same letter; " V and U were formerly the same letter, derived no doubt from the oriental vau or waw..." and to further enlighten us Noah Webster (c. 1828) tells us that V.R. in Latin stood for Uti Rotas, pronounced oo-tee thus demonstrating for us that the "V" did indeed have the "U" or "oo" sound [as in the word flute].
P.S. Of late, there has been a person here at ecclesia.org that wishes to label our doctrine for us. For those who are interested in the truth, we are not "Sacred Namers", we are not so-called "Christian Identity", we are of the sect (party) of Naziyrs and our doctrine, if one feels that they must label us, is "Truth Seekers".

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the information from "Come Out of Her My People," by C.J. Koster and "The Sacred Name," by R. Clover. If you may recall, IAUE is how I spell "the name."
Consider what one gets if one treats YHVH as vowels (rather than consonants): IEVE. Keeping in mind that V can stand for U, which we modern English writers might write as W, what do you think of the 1611 KJV rendering as "iewe" of the modern term "jew?"

Greetings and salutations brothers and sisters,
Peace be unto the house.
I have thanked brother Walter privately for his kind words and have begun answering him privately. As the truth is revealed to us, Yahuwah willing, we will reveal it here.
For now take note of what Walter has shown us; I believe he is equating the names of the Creator and of the first woman (yod,hey,way,hey and hey, waw, hey respectively) with the English transliteration of it, that is to say the four vowels COULD say "I Eve" (IEVE). This concept is, at the very least, quite fascinating.
Since Hawwâh means "living being", is it too far fetched to think that Y'hawwâh (Yahuwâh) may mean, The Living One? We think not!

Greetings and salutations,
Peace be unto the house.
Ever wonder why we can find virtually no secular history on the man called JESUS?
Try this on for size.
Moreover, there exists a Jewish Conspiracy where the true name was substituted by:
Yeshuw(a) yad shiyn waw [transliterated in the Greek as Iesu]
Which is an acronym for “Yemach Shemow W-zikhrow”, meaning, “May His name and memory be erased”, and it was used in the “Toldoth Yeshu”, a very old rabbinical Judaist document that scorned the Anointed. Many still fall for this, calling Him “Yeshua”. - brother Yahuwthah [Emphasis added]
Nomina si nescis perit cognitio rerum. If you know not the names of things, the knowledge of things themselves perishes. Co. Litt. 86.
Unperson
unperson - Person that has been erased from existence by the government for breaking the law in some way. A unperson is completely erased from history. All records of their existence is removed from record, and all party members are expected to removed them from memory. To mention their name is considered thoughtcrime. This eliminates any possibility of martyrdom. - Newsspeak Dictionary
List of Newspeak Words
Unperson
Unperson is a person who has been "vaporized"; who has been not only killed by the state, but effectively erased from existence. Such a person would be written out of existing books, photographs, and articles so that no trace of their existence could be found in the historical record. The idea is that such a person would, according to the principles of doublethink, be forgotten completely (for it would be impossible to provide evidence of their existence), even by close friends and family members, and mentioning his/her name is thoughtcrime. (The concept that the person may have existed at one time, and has disappeared, cannot be expressed in Newspeak.) Compare to the Stalinist practice of erasing people from photographs after their death.- Wikipedia [Emphasis added]
Did we think that Eric Arthur Blair, better known by his pen name George Orwell, thought this up all by himself?
…damnatio memoriae, was used in the Roman Empire. - Wikipedia [Emphasis added]
We didn't know that, did any of you?
Damnatio memoriae
Damnatio memoriae is the Latin phrase literally meaning "damnation of memory", in the sense of removed from the remembrance. It was a form of dishonor that could be passed by the Roman Senate upon traitors or others who brought discredit to the Roman State. - Wikipedia
Here is a working example...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Arco_degli_Argentarii_-_lato_interno_-_Caracalla_%28and_Geta_erased%29_-_Panairjdde.jpeg (Be sure to read the "Description".)
Could any of this be a reason that we can find virtually no secular history on the man called YESHU/YESHUA/IESU/IESUS/JESUS?
Special thanks to my helpmeet for her investigative skills in uncovering, what I perceive to be, a "pearl".

How about some due diligence for this crucial topic. Here's a simple yet very important challenge for one with good investigative skills.
Please show us what secular history you have for which ever name you assert is correct for "Our Wonderful Counselor".

What is your actual proof that the Greek Iesu is 'transliterated' for Yeshuw? Show us the Biblical NT text that supports your assertion.

It is not hard for a good researcher - truly looking for pearls - to think through the math and see that a document such as the "Toldoth Yeshu" written in 500 AD at the very earliest is hundreds upon hundreds of years younger than the Greek Rylands Papyrus (P52) fragment of the book of John dated at 125 A.D. The "Toldoth Yeshu" - on the other hand - is found mostly in Yiddish and Hebrew and considered by most serious scholars to actually be a product of 8th century to 11th century Italy, written during the massive persecution of the Jews.
Indeed, Paul warned us of such Jewish fairytales. We are left wondering why any "serious" Bible researcher would hold anti-Christian Jewish/Yiddish writings above the original Greek source text of NT scripture!

Greetings and salutations, brother kevin:
Peace be unto the house.
You wrote: Ill take a stab at it...
it aint what come out of your mouth that matters
And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
But, that aside, as we have said many times before it is not the pronunciation of the names that is important; it is the meaning of them which gives us hidden messages.
Take for example: the name of the Creator's only begotten child (the rest of us can be adopted). Evidence indicates that it began as a six letter word, yad hey waw shiyn waw ayin (See H3091), which we transliterate Yahu'shua [yahu is yad hey waw and shua is shiyn waw 'ayin]. (See Strong's H3058 and H7769)
H7769 [shiyn waw 'ayin] shua' BDB Definition: 1) cry, cry for help, cry out
H7769 [shiyn waw 'ayin] shua' Strong's Definition: From H7768; a halloo
HAL'LOO, v.i. To cry out; to exclaim with a loud voice; to call to by name... Webster's 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language
H7768 [shiyn waw 'ayin] shava' Strong's Definition: A primitive root; properly to be free; but used only causatively and reflexively to halloo (for help, that is, freedom from some trouble)
Yahu'el [Joel] 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yahuwah shall be delivered (shall escape)... (See also Acts 2:21 and Romans 10:13)
Yahu'shua = halloo Yahuwah = "call on the name of Yahuwah" or "cry out" to Yahuwah "for...freedom".
"...let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name..."
It was then syncopated to Yah'shua and eventually Y'shua supposedly in an attempt to comply with the "ineffable name doctrine" of the Babylonian religion, which Yahudah had brought with them out of their captivity.
SYN'COPATE, v.t. [See Syncope.] To contract, as a word, by taking one or more letters or syllables from the middle. - Webster's 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language
And, of course, Iesu and Iesus was, we are told, an attempt to transliterate this sycopated word, Y'shua, into Latin.
It eventually evolved into the Ibriy/Greek/Latin/English hybrid, and totally meaningless word, JESUS (gee-zus).
Nomina si nescis perit cognitio rerum. If you know not the names of things, the knowledge of things themselves perishes. Co. Litt. 86.
But, if anyone thinks it a waste of time to study the names, with particular attention to their meanings, it is certainly their prerogative to do so. They should probably just ignore threads like "His Name is Not Jesus" and "His Name is Not Yahu'shua", if that is the truth of the matter.

Was this threat to our previous brothers due to the fact that they knew how to say the name or because they lived in the anointing of knowing the one who owned the name?
I could go down the street to the crack house and proclaim to the crack dealer that In the name of Jesus the Christ or YehoShua Ha Maschia I command you to stop dealing crack and they would respond with threats of killing me. Or just sit and laff.
But I can go to a crackhead and speak to him about this Saviour I have found who is wanting to deliver you from addiction and tell him of my experiance or (testimony).
The crack dealers are upset because now I am fighting witn a non carnal weapon.
I am speaking not phoneticaly correct but with simple uneducated words bringing deliverance to captives, Now I tell ya that even crack dealers can recognize a power greater than themselves.I dont fight the dealers or call the government agents to go do my work for me,
If nothing can separate me from His love then nothing can separate me from his love,
I am adopted and I have full rights as a son.
Love you Brother Robert!

It is a waste of time if one is not willing to REALLY study the topic but rather only looking to find things to support their false assumptions.
Kev, consider these important points nobody seems to bother with:
Jesus spoke Aramaic and most certainly Greek but not the 9th century AD Babylonian Hebrew of the Masorah Tanakh written over 800 years after the fact. Think on that a bit.
In Aramaic His name is Eashoa'. In Greek it is Iesous. No conspiracy at all seeing as the "Toldoth Yeshu" assertion does not even come into this equation until at least hundreds of years later (5 AD at the earliest) but most likely over 1,000 years later with the Jewish persecutions. The Hebrew that oneisraelite is trying to use to make his argument is from the Masoretic OT Tanakh which was written around the 9th Century AD. Christ Himself quotes the Greek LXX OT which was written around 300 BC. Even in that Greek LXX OT, we see IHSOUS (Iesous) in the title of the Book of Joshua. In a word, the Masoretic Hebrew is much later than both Greek and Aramaic that Jesus would have been familiar with!
This whole "blot out the name" argument is quite flawed for those simple points (and more).

Of course, you have been told wrong. Me too. This is one item that I had to eat crow on after I had studied Biblical Hebrew and tried to debate the same position you still put forth. It does not hold water. Using the early Greek LXX OT and the Greek NT is the slam dunk for Iesous but the Yeshua argument can be just as easily established from the later Masoretic (why bother when we have older Greek of both the OT and the NT establishing the antiquity of "Iesous" - both texts being earlier than the Masorah Tanakh).
However, even if you want to go the much later Masoretic Hebrew route instead of the earlier Greek you will find that the name Yeshua is established in the later Biblical Hebrew. Notice that Joshua is also called this name Yeshua while also being called Yehoshua and that in the same verses in the LXX the word Jesus (Iesous) is there. Keep in mind - of course - that there is no "J" in the Hebrew so the "J" would be rendered "Y":

So there you have precedent that the name Yeshua (Jeshua) is an established name in Hebrew predating Christ.
Now, having proven that Yeshua is an established name in the Hebrew Bible (especially for Joshua), connect the dots:
Hebrew Yehoshua is also Hebrew Yeshua
Hebrew Yeshua is found as Greek Iesous in the LXX OT.
Greek Iesous is in English Jesus
There is no "sh" sound in the Greek so we rightly have the middle "s" sound in Iesous. The "s" at the end of the Greek name is a grammatical necessity.
So either way you want to go the name Jesus and Yeshua are present. 300 BC Greek LXX or the 900 AD Masoretic text.
quote:
Nomina si nescis perit cognitio rerum. If you know not the names of things, the knowledge of things themselves perishes. Co. Litt. 86.
Well, the Greek NT stands as solid and detailed testimony of the name Iesous so the knowledge of things concerning Him has NOT parished. In fact that name Jesus is called "emmanuel" which means "God is with us". The same Jesus that is a light to the Gentiles and the glory of Israel.

Well now that is settled .
I speak in the language I know.. bad English,
I am glad Jesus listens and answers, Yehoshua has never refused me on account of my bad English, OR lack of understanding of old languages.
Seems like I have come full circle in this journey, I remember a day when I knew nothing ( not that I know anything now) but things were simple
I commited my way to Him and he made my path straight, in spite of my recklessness.
So much to learn so little time.
thanks Steven |
