http://1.1.1.5/bmi/1.1.1.1/bmi/1.1.1.4/bmi/templeofprayers.org/jesusearth1.jpg

YEHOSHUA HA`MASHIACH aka JESUS THE CHRIST & YHVH aka GOD

NAMES: JESUS/YEHOSHUA/YESHUA & THE FATHER YHVH/YHWH GOD

YEHOSHUA LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Considering how many times the word “Name” with its Governing Significance, Characteristics and Attributes which are Delegated to a Person, Place or Thing in the Bible Disciples should Study to Learn and to Know the True Name of the Being they Worship, as it is Disclosed by the Spirit of Truth, to Honor HIM.

Joh_15:26  But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

Disciples need to be Diligent in the Study of Biblical information including the Name of the Creator, FATHER and HIS SON our Savior and the Disciple’s Master as correctly as possible through our Diligence. The Previously mentioned are Titles and Appellatives not a Names. The FATHER YHVH (I AM) GOD and the SON JESUS the CHRIST in English, YEHOSHUA HA`MASHIACH in Hebrew Aramaic or in the shortened form – YESHUA from the Second Temple Period, are the Names in Hebrew Aramaic the Languages spoken by JESUS YEHOSHUA and HIS Disciples.

The Hebrew language has an Ancient Pictograph/Pictogram form of Script and Historical Frames of Time created distinctions in Letters, Vowels, Vowel Points, Pronunciation, Gematria or Numerical Values and Meanings. In some instances the Greek writers wrote the Hebrew Aramaic Word or Phrases with the English version as seen in the examples of Scriptures below and further into this article.

Mar 5:41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

Mat 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

RESEARCH OF THE NAMES

The decision for the usage of the Holy Name YEHOSHUA as well as the Holy Name of GOD – YHVH I AM was made after Prayer, Research and Study.

2Ti_2:15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Technically we use the Name of YEHOSHUA, meaning Salvation for the SON of GOD. In the Christology Series the Names of YEHOSHUA also known as JESUS and YESHUA and YHVH who is also known as GOD, Elohim, Adonai, and HaShem. YHVH will be used Interchangeably as GOD. YHVH יהוה spelled out in Hebrew as yod-hey-vav-hey is our preference of choice being the oldest form used after the Proclamation of the Ineffable Name mentioned below. YHVH is the representation of the name of GOD as the Tetragrammaton.

Research regarding the Name of YEHOSHUA was based on a number of Historical, Religious, Cultural, Sociological, Political and Social Factors; the Naming Customs and Traditions of the collective groups – Aramaic, Hebrew/Jews, Greek; the Collective and the individual Emotional, Psychological, Aesthetic Factors, with the inclusion of the Spiritual Perspective and Etymology and other factors such as the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls such as the Hebrew Book of St Matthew. See how that information may influence future changes or strengthened the current choices below.

Since one’s response to a name to a very large degree depends on the context of that name, we have to consider this when we want to Appraise the change from the Hebrew Aramaic YEHOSHUA to YESHUA to JESUS and the other Linguistic versions of the same name.

1. [YEHOSHUA] The Name YEHOSHUA is the original Hebrew Aramaic Name Transliterated to JESUS in English via YESHUA יֵשׁוּעַ the shortened form of the Name ->YEHOSHUA<- (Hebrew: יְהוֹשֻׁעַ Yĕhôshúaַ

2. [JESUS] – The English Name JESUS was Translated and Transliterated from the Aramaic Hebrew, ישוע‎ – YEHOSHUA with a shortened version to YESHUA יֵשׁוּעַ , then to the Greek Ἰησοῦς – Iesous, from Greek to Latin – Iesus and finally from Latin to English – JESUS which has become the commonly Chosen Name used in Christendom.

In >> Messianic Judaism << the Name YEHOSHUA has been shortened to YESHUA for different reasons which we will not discuss here since it has been our objective to seek the original Names without the changes cause by the >> Traditions of Men. <<

[The Original Languages of the Bible] The Series will initially use YEHOSHUA HA`MASHIACH – in Hebrew one of the original Bible Languages are ->Hebrew Aramaic, Amharic, Ge`ez and Greek.<- All other Languages including English were Translations. The Articles in the Christology Series Study Guides will mostly use the Name of JESUS, the Title of CHRIST, MESSIAH in English for the sake of the Series which is – Christology the Study of JESUS the CHRIST Messiah and Anointed One YEHOSHUA HA`MASHIACH, the Anointed One and MESSIAH. The Christology Series and the Study Resources are in English so the Series will use the Hebrew Aramaic and English Names interchangeably for the Preliminary Study Guides for Students and Audiences of the Christology Series utilizing English Bible Terminology and English Biblical Resources. After the Preliminary Study Guides the Series will Predominantly use JESUS the CHRIST MESSIAH for YEHOSHUA/YESHUA and use the title Name of GOD which is YHVH to correlate with the English and Hebraic (Hebrew) Study Guide Materials.

[Hebrew Aramaic Word Studies] There will be several Hebraic Word Studies in later Study Guides where Applicable and when on Topic. There is a possibility that we will have online Hebrew Aramaic to English Bible links for Advanced Students who desire to Learn Hebrew Pictograph/Pictogram, Ancient and Modern forms of Hebrew Aramaic. Hebrew and Aramaic are seemingly two different Languages but there remains irreconcilable differences about a solitary opinion as to which Language came first and which one influenced the other so we cite both. Most of the Hebrew Bible is written in Hebrew but there instances of works in Aramaic as well such as the Books of Ezra and Daniel. When there are any updates regarding the topic we will post it in the >> Bible Study Guides. <<

During the Time of CHRIST JESUS Aramaic was usually spoken and Hebrew was used for Religious Ceremonial use, Study, and Worship much like Catholics use English for everyday usage and Latin for Religious Ceremony. However, almost miraculously Modern Hebrew has been transformed from an almost dead language to a spoken national and written Modern Language spoken today by millions of Jewish people around the World. It actually makes a lot of sense since Israel became a State in 1948 and Jews worked to have their “place in the World” as a Nation. The words spoken by CHRIST JESUS were Aramaic but sometimes when words were Transliterated or Translated, the writers and/or Translators sometimes Translated the words for the Audience reading the Scriptures and sometimes the Translators retained the original words spoken by YEHOSHUA in Aramaic or Hebrew and then interpreted the words while using Greek or English. See several examples below.

Mat 27:46  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Mar 15:33  And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 

Mar 15:34  And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 

Mar_14:36  And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. 

Mar 3:17  And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: 

Mar 7:33  And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; 

Mar 7:34  And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. 

Joh_19:13  When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

Joh 20:16  Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. 

[Book of Matthew] Additional information will be included in future Word Studies as we Study the Hebrew Version of the ->Book of Matthew<- which was taught traditionally as being written only in the Greek Language although there was information circulating that it was originally written in Hebrew Aramaic with a copy being presented to a King Historically and Traditionally. It has since been discovered that there was physical proof of the Book of Matthew written in Aramaic-Hebrew with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls Caves. Additional information will be written in the >> New Testament of the Bible Study Guide. <<

[The Christology Series Rationale] The above explanation stipulates the Name Preferences and the Linguistic usage of the Hebrew Names and Titles of JESUS the CHRIST in English and in Hebrew YEHOSHUA HA`MASHIACH YESHUA – the CHRIST/MESSIAH.

See the Christology Series Linguistic Rationale Article for the Hebrew Choice of YEHOSHUA and YESHUA >> The Traditions of Men – Devices <<

YHVH, LORD, JEHOVAH, HASHEM, ELOHIM +

Hebrew name of God
YHVH

The Hebrew Name Representation for GOD is YHVH the ->Tetragrammaton<- which means the Holy Letters of the Divine Name as it was given to >> Moses << at the ->Burning Bush – I AM THAT I AM, YHVH which are both Representations of HIS Name. <-

Exo 3:13  And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 

Exo 3:14  And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 

Exo 3:15  And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. 

The Christology Series will also use the Names/Titles GOD and FATHER (ABBA) interchangeably including using the Tetragrammaton – YHVH. The Name JEHOVAH has been entered into literature by the use of Latin Script for the Names of GOD as well as using spoken and written YHVH, YAHWEH or YHWH as LORD or LORD GOD and ADONAI as YHVH with Vowel Points and JEHOVAH in Anglicized Script.

Exo 3:14  And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 

There is a Survey of YHVH with HIS other Names and Titles found in the links below which are used in the >> Holy Bible. << We will update our list as resources will allow. The list of names include the names given to YHVH by Prophets, Scribes, People of YHVH, etc., and their Experiential Expression of HIM such as ADONAI – Adonai-Elohim meaning LORD, as seen in Modern Bible Literature and Scriptures.

[Tradition & Conditioning] It is interesting to note that although many Religious people Profess to have a >> “Personal Relationship” << with the FATHER, many people tend to Call, Refer and Pray to HIM by the Impersonal and Generic Name/”Title” of “GOD” by Tradition and through Societal Conditioning which Diminishes a Level of Intimacy of ONE to whom we owe our very Existence; who Sustains us and through Whom we Live, Move and have our Being; our Physical Locality; Soul Presence; our Human Mind and the Spiritual Connection to the >> ALMIGHTY FATHER. <<

Act 17:27  That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 

Act 17:28  For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

YHVH: The Name YHVH was given to Mankind however changes were made throughout the Centuries and according to Jewish Tradition in the 3rd Century there was a Proclamation made about the “Ineffable Name” which made it unlawful to pronounce the name of YHVH in or out of the Synagogue or Temple upon Pain of Death. Ineffable means HIS name is incapable of being expressed in words; unspeakable; unutterable; indescribable. This is one example of Man and his devices substituting his Traditions for the Commandments of YHVH GOD. Now, in the 21st Century, no one knows what HIS Name sounds like at least not in the common hearing and literature known to the common man.

Moses – Image result for hebrew name of moses Moshe first knew the GOD of Israel as I AM THAT I AM-YHVH.

Exo 3:14  And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 

The Name of YHVH developed progressively to be known as YHVH, YHWH, JEHOVAH (anglicized) ELOHIM, HASHEM, ADONAI and others as Mankind began having Personal Experiences with YHVH and Spiritual Illumination, Miracles and Visions of YHVH GOD. Additional mention of the ->Names of YHVH<- will be in the in depth Disquisition on Theology, which is the ->Study of YHVH GOD, <- a Future Study Series.

Exo_6:3  And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

Isa_12:2  Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
