THE
NAME IS
TURNING THE WORLD
UPSIDE DOWN
HOW THEY USED TO GET "STONED" IN THE OLD
DAYS
The letter
J is
less than 500 years
old, as you probably know, and there is overwhelming evidence that the Name
as given to us for the Mashiach is fraudulent,
a counterfeit. All scholars know that no one called the Mashiach
"Jesus" while He walked the Earth. It is not a "translation", because that would mean it's
meaning would be given, which it is not.
His real Name (Yahushua) means "Yah is our Salvation". IESOUS could mean "hail Zeus",
healing Zeus, or "hail
Soos". The deity Zeus is of course Greek, and "soos" is the Hebrew word for horse.
The Greek words that end in "sus" like Tarsus, Parnassus, Dionysus, Pegasus, etc., are phonetically honoring their deity, Zeus. The Greek is only an intermediate language,
so there is no point building a big case on it.
Our
Mashiach most certainly was not given a Greek Name, until human error entered
the picture. The Jesuits can make all the excuses they want, but the dead monks are
responsible for altering many things; even the time our Savior was hung on the tree is different in the report of Mark and
John, probably just due to some inaccuracy of a monk. Being familiar with
computer software, we can see how fragile information can be, especially if
there is only one surviving copy of it.
The Book of Acts (the book of "Action") records how the early students of Yahushua
"turned the world upside down".
Put yourself in that life-setting. The Name of the Creator had been concealed from the common people for centuries, since the Babylonian Captivity.
Learning the true Name, everyone was astounded, and a natural curiosity swirled among everyone.
When Peter stood up and addressed the crowds at Acts 2, he quoted Yah El 2 (Joel) and told them to be immersed into the Name.
Today, just before the end of the "times of the Gentiles", the world is being turned upside down once again by the growing knowledge of the Name, which has been concealed for many centuries by the religious merchants.
Like today, it was the Name of the Creator that caused the religious establishment to be turned on its head.
NAME OR NO-NAME? People are quick to label others with "handles".
Christians in general are called by a Greek term, having no idea that the term was used by Pagans first, as worshippers of Serapis, or that it is cognate with
cretin (see your dictionary).
They hang their hat on one translated verse from the Scriptures (Acts 11:26),
while scholars know they were called Nazarenes
or more accurately Natsarim (see Acts 24:5), as a sect within Judaism.
Shaul (Paul) was known as a "ringleader" of the sect of Natsarim as we
see at Acts 24:5. Many today are apprehensive of groups that use the Hebrew personal Name of the Creator, calling them "sacred name" groups.
These who would criticize those who use the Hebrew Name should remember our Rabbi?s prayer at John 17, where He said He had revealed the Name to them, and that they be kept as one by the power of the Father?s Name.
Now, I?m going to initiate a new "handle" ~ the
NO-NAMERS.
The no-namers use traditional terms in place of the Name, as most prefaces of the Scriptures will acknowledge.
(They honestly believe avoiding His Name honors Him). The words LORD, God, HaShem, Eternal, Adonai, and sometimes Elohim are used as traditional replacements for the Name, a regrettable situation considering John 17.
In review, the Encyclopedia Americana has this to say about the word "GOD":
"GOD (god, gawd) A common Teutonic word for personal object of religious worship, formerly applicable to superhuman beings of heathen myth; on conversion of Teutonic races to Christianity, term was applied to Supreme Being, and to Persons of Trinity."
Swell. So, what does this mean ~ are we calling on the Creator with a word originally used by Pagans, to avoid the "ethnic" Name for the Creator?
Look up the word "BAAL" in Webster?s. It is defined as "LORD".
Belial is a form of BAAL, and is another term for Satan. What?s going on?
The over-looked issue here is this: at the time our Savior came, Whose Name is Yahushua, the Name was concealed, and any who spoke it aloud could be stoned to death for saying it. He said He revealed it to those given to Him out of the world, and prayed that we be kept as ONE (in unity) by
it -- Are we in unity? He criticized the Pharisees for withholding the "Key of Knowledge" (Luke 11:52), and what they withheld was the Name!
Why did they constantly want to stone Yahushua? He kept saying the Name.
At Luke 19:38, the crowds were crying out a verse from Psalm 118:26 which contained the Name, and the Pharisees told Yahushua to rebuke them ~ because they were using the Name.
Why were the disciples called to stand before the Sanhedrin? The Name!
Why was Stephen stoned (Acts 7)? When he said the Name, they screamed and put their hands over their ears, and killed him.
Yahushua Himself was condemned because He spoke the Name before the Sanhedrin, which caused the High Priest to tear his clothes, saying,
"He has spoken blasphemy!"
Blasphemy only involves one thing: the Name. Why was Paul on his way to Damascus to arrest Nazarenes?
To carry them back to the Sanhedrin to see if they would say the Name and be similarly condemned to death.
Why were the Dead Sea Scrolls buried in the first place?
Because worn-out scrolls were treated with respect and buried in jars instead of being profanely burned or discarded,
because they had the Name written on them.
The book of "Esther" isn?t among them, because the Name is not written anywhere in the text.
(The Name is in acrostic though, twice forward, twice backwards!). Even at Acts 2, Peter quoted Joel 2:32, emphasizing the importance of calling on the Name ~ and then to be immersed,
calling on it. No-namers insist it is of no importance, and don?t use it in their immersions. Falsehood and futility is what the prophet Jeremiah says the Gentiles have inherited:
"YHUH . . . To you the nations will come from the ends of the Earth and say, ?our fathers have inherited nothing but falsehood, futility, and things of no profit? . . . This time I will make them know My power and My might; and they shall know that My Name is
YHUH."
- Yerme Yahu (Jeremiah) 16:19-21.
At Romans 10:14, after quoting Joel 2:32, Paul asks,
"How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how
shall they believe in Him whom they have not HEARD?"
They don?t know, or call, on His Name. "HALLELU-YAH " means "praise Yah".
It?s easily seen that monks and translators sterilized the Scriptures by removing the Name from the texts, especially when you look at Acts 7 and the stoning of Stephen, or even read your preface.
Taken as a whole, the main controversy in the New Testament seems to be the Name issue, and the announcing of the Kingdom of YHWH.
Yahushua?s own Name contains the Name. Revelation 7 and 14 connect together, because the "seal" in the foreheads (minds) of the 144,000 is this Name of the Father.
Taking His Name "in vain" means to bring it to nothing, missing it, or wiping it out.
The "Sinai Autograph" of the original Name YHWH
(or YHUH) written by His own hand was in what is called palaeo-Hebrew.
All the prophets wrote it in this script.
PAUL HAD NAZARENES
(Natsarim) KILLED FOR
SAYING THE NAME OF THE CREATOR
The Yahudim were hoping for the Mashiach to come, and Rabbi Yahushua was not going around telling anyone He was ~ but rather kept that an inside secret.
The only thing He did that caused the law teachers and priests to pick up stones to kill Him was what they called "blasphemy".
It was against their law to say the Name of YHWH ~ and the penalty was death. This is not usually mentioned by the merchant preachers, because people would naturally start to search it out, and the
Key of knowledge would be widespread.
The Name of Yahushua contains the Name of the Father, so even His Name was part of the problem for them. The name
"Y'shua" means salvation, and was a rather common name at the
time. However; "Yahushua" means Yahuah is our
salvation, and the Name "Yahushua" contained the Name
YAH, and was clearly heard by all.
Paul explains how he fought against those who were found in the synagogues that proclaimed Yahushua. At Acts 26:9-11, Paul explains to King Agrippa:
"I truly thought with myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the Name of the Mashiach of Nazareth. And this I also did in Yerushaliyim: and I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and WHEN THEY WERE PUT TO DEATH I GAVE MY VOTE AGAINST THEM. And punishing them constantly in the synagogues, I STROVE TO MAKE THEM BLASPHEME; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities."
They weren?t being killed for any other reason than that they were going against the "law"
to not
pronounce the Name. After "Shaul" was knocked-down on his way to Damascus, and encountered the risen Yahushua, he began to
pronounce the Name, and did what he had watched others die for!
This is no small side-line issue, but is really central to what the entire Brit Chadasha reveals to us.
After Shaul was immersed by Ananias, (who was himself very afraid at first when he learned he was to be visited by the infamous Shaul), he took the name of "Paulos".
The name "Shaul" and his reputation was
terrifying to the Nazarenes, and you can well understand why.
For some time, Nazarenes were still afraid and distrustful of Paul:
" . . . Is not this he that in Yerushaliyim made havoc of them that called on this Name?
And has he come here for the intention that he might bring them bound before the chief priests . . ."
(Acts 9:15,16).
Yes, pronouncing the Name was a REALLY big deal. Paul was nabbed by the Yahudim of Achaia, and they wanted him dead so much that they rushed him to the Roman proconsul
Gallio. Gallio, no doubt a Pagan, must have thought they were crazy when he heard the reason they were so murderously enraged, and he said:
"If indeed it was an act of injustice or reckless evil, O Yahudim, according to REASON,
I would bear with you; BUT if it be a question concerning a WORD, or NAMES, and that law which is among YOU, see you to it, for I will be no judge of THESE things."
(Acts 18:14,15). Paul had to be locked up to protect him.
He claims he was stoned on several occasions over pronouncing the Name.
Men had sworn oaths to see Paul dead before they would eat again. Paul had to hide, and sneak out of the city in a basket.
How many Christians really know why Paul was imprisoned? Now, you know.
Believe it or not, there is quite a bit of "shunning" against those of us who use the Name, even among Messianics who observe the appointed times.
Paul?s life, and many other Nazarenes? lives were snuffed -out over simply pronouncing the Name, and yet believers today are shunning and castigating those of us who seem to be making a "big deal" out of it.
We can?t help ourselves, the Name burns inside us. We would die for it too. Are we misguided?
If so, then those who have died over the Name have done so needlessly, including Paul and all the early Nazarene followers. Yahushua revealed the Name to them, and He has done so to us as well.
There are always 2 sides to most issues, but since the Name is the strong tower, that?s the safer bet to go with.
The Name turned the world upside down once, and here in the days of the final message, it is doing it again.
