2002.01.D.30 Yah Versus Yahweh Created by James3 on 8/8/2019 8:05:05 PM Yah Versus Yahweh
Greetings
You may have noticed in a couple of the articles posted recently some references to the Name of the Father actually being "Yah" with "Yahweh" being a specific descriptive Name meaning "Yah the eternally existent One".
As i have wrestled with some of the concepts that have been touched on in recent weeks, i have become increasingly aware of NUMEROUS words which are based on "Yah" as distinct from "Yahweh".
Some examples follow, the text including Hebrew characters is contained as an image which may not display correctly on all computers.
In considering what follows, please take note of the article 1AD.02.01.01 "Sacred Name of God YHVH YHWH Yahveh Yahweh Yeshuah Yashuah Yehshuah Yahshuah ..." which explained the massive diversity in transliteration of Hebrew into English.
Examples of Names follow:
3068 Yahweh
3069 Yahovih - generally translated GOD as a scribal device
3070 Yahweh Yireh - Yahweh will see to it - used by Abraham AFTER Yahweh provided a lamb instead of Isaac
3071 - 3074 further extended Names for Yahweh
We then encounter the names of various Iraelites which contain the Name Yah in some direct or derivative form.
3075 - Yahowzaabaad - Yah or Yahweh endowed
As best the writer can assess, this is EXTREMELY close to the Hebrew letters used in the "bible" translation titled "The Scriptures" to represent the Name of Yahshua the saviour, in other words, this confirms the assertion of some that Yahshua the Saviour was given a Hebrew name that had already been given to OTHER's before him, INCLUDING "Joshua the son of Nun" who lead the Israelites into Canaan.
This word occurs 218 times in the "Old Testament" referring primarily to Joshua the son of Nun but also to a number of others.
The following is taken from the OnLine Bible. Note the different transliteration:
The last word beginning with Yah is 3092, commonly translated Jehosophat but actually Yahowshaphat.
Thus we see that most, if not all the words that begin with Jeh or Jo. in English are IN FACT, based on YAH!
I then became aware that in "The Scriptures", the transliteration of the names of many of the prophets contain "Yah" as one of the syllables.
For example Isaiah is YeshaYAHu (capitalization for emphasis)
Jeremiah, Obadiah, Zephaniah, Zechariah, Nehemiah all follow the same pattern with the "ah" sound in English ACTUALLY representing YAH.
Matthew in Hebrew is MattithYAHu and it appears likely that there are further variations.
Going further, it then transpires that there are a whole range of other words typically transliterated in the form of Je, Ju, etc in the English which ALSO appear to start with "Yah".
For example:
3063 Yahuwdaah - Judah
and from this, as pointed out in one of the articles forwarded recently, it turns out that the word translated Jew ALSO contains Yah - relating to Yah putting His Name on His People!
In fact words back to about 3058 - Jehu (Yah is He) ALL or nearly all appear to be derived from or contain YAH.
3050 is the word transliterated Yah, Yaah or Yahh which is ALSO translated "the LORD", JUST LIKE Yahweh!
Brown Driver Brigg's defines 3050 as Yah-
Jah (Jehovah (Yahweh) in the shortened form)
a) the proper name of the one true God
) used in many compounds:
1) names beginning with the English letters `Je-'
2) names ending with `-iah' or `-jah'
What is significant is that NOWHERE is there any evidence advanced as to why "Yah" is a shortened form of "Yahweh" versus why "Yahweh" is not a special EXTENDED form of "Yah" in line with the numerous OTHER extended forms of "Yah" outlined above!!
On taking this to the Father, i was told "obviously Yah is My Name and all the other words are extensions of My Name!"
When i asked why i had not been shown that previously, i was informed that in light of all the information at my disposal that indicated that the Father's true Name was Yahweh i would not have been able to hear Him on this and that since He had specifically given the form Yahweh to Moses at the burning bush and regularly used the form Yahweh in speaking to Israel, it was not a particularly big issue RELATIVE to "the LORD", "God", "Elohim", "Adonai", etc.
On reflection i could see this, when i first encountered the suggestion of Yah as opposed to Yahweh in the articles some of which were forwarded in recent weeks there was immediate strong mental opposition on my side and it took some time and the recent research in multiple electronic reference works and the increased revelation of the extent to which the Hebrew texts had been tampered with to remove or obscure the Name Yahweh that i was able to comprehend that this was possible.
It demonstrates that only when one realizes that there are literally DOZENS of words which contain "Yah" that one can comprehend that logically the Fathers Name must be "Yah" in it's purest, most elemental form!
Therefore, i must report that the Father's correct Name is YAH!
On further enquiry as to why the Name Yah occurs only 49 times and Yahweh occurs 6519 times and Yahovih 305 times, the Father stressed that Yahweh was the Name that He had chosen to use primarily to Israel BUT ALSO that over time, for the same reasons that Yahweh had been substituted with Elohim and Adonai, people had substituted Yah with other words out of the same misplaced reverence.
In particular, the Father asked me why i thought there were so many instances of "Elohim" a plural word meaning "Mighty Ones" (God in most English translations) in verses where it clearly referred to Yah and made absolutely NO SENSE AT ALL as Mighty Ones.
In the light of the "logic" behind the substitution of vowel points on Yahweh to represent Elohim and Adonai the obvious answer seemed to be that by replacing "Yah" with "Elohim" in locations where "Elohim" made absolutely NO SENSE AT ALL, the scribes would, in a perverse way, permit readers to know when the proper Name "Yah" had been substituted! Yah then confirmed this!
There are 2606 occurences of Elohim translated as follows in the Authorized Version: - God 2346, god 244, judge 5, GOD 1, goddess 2, great 2, mighty 2, angels 1, exceeding 1, God-ward + 04136 1, godly 1; 2606
i.e. of the 2346 instances translated God and 1 translated GOD a substantial proportion, as i understand it about 80%, should ACTUALLY READ YAH!
In the few days since this happened i have been starting to adjust AGAIN to get used to using Yah instead of Yahweh for routine conversation, prayer and thought.
WHAT IS VERY INTERESTING TO ME is that i am finding this very easy, it actually seems more natural and more right!
I have concluded that one of the reasons MANY PEOPLE HAVE A RESISTANCE TO YAHWEH is that somehow either they instinctively know that it is NOT QUITE RIGHT or else there are demons that make a point of using the slight inexactitude to tell them subconciously that it is wrong, which, insofar as strictly speaking it is NOT correct, the demons are fully entitled to do!! :)
Accordingly, from now on it is my intention to use the name "Yah" most of the time when referring to the Father.
Note also that once one sees the Name of the Father as "Yah" then the Name "YAHshua" = "Yah's salvation" for the saviour, Yahshua, is far more obvious and takes on an even greater clarity of meaning of purpose, at least it does for me! :) :)
I apologize to all of you who have just been starting to adjust to "Yahweh" and who now have to adjust further, i sincerely hope that, as i did, you will find that you adjust more readily to "Yah" and that this will ADD impetus to your committment to change.
For me it further serves to confirm HOW LITTLE WE KNOW!!
Until we truly comprehend HOW FAR WE HAVE FALLEN, we cannot begin to comprehend how much adjustment is required to come to the place where we need to be!
Warm regards and blessings
