INTRODUCTION:

(Deuteronomy 4:2 [KJV])
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

(Proverbs 30:5, 6 [KJV])
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

(Isaiah 28:10 [KJV])
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

(Isaiah 28:13 [KJV])
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

(2 Peter 1:20 [KJV])
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

All of the studies found here, whether book studies or topical studies, are done with research with mainly two things: The KING JAMES BIBLE and a plain old, 1828 Webster's Dictionary. Why? Outside of actually studying secular and Jewish history recorded in the Word of God and in any ancient records from many, which records support it, plus archaeology, one needs nothing more. You do not need foreign, dead languages that no one speaks, nor lexicons, nor concordances, nor commentaries, because they differ not only with one another and with the KING JAMES BIBLE, they create division, confusion, debate, and unbelief, apostasy, and a falling away from God Himself. We do not need them. That Word of God, written and preserved for us in our own language, is supposed to be enough, like the Old Testament was for the Jews, and as the New Testament was for the early Christians in Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, German, etc.

There are studies within as tangents on words, subjects found within the two testaments, as to broaden the scope of the study, to learn more, deeper truths. This is not an intellectual site with PhDs, theologians, and no worldly wisdom.. Check everything out, everything. Not just here, but with everything you read and see and hear. Be Bereans:

(Acts 17:11 [KJV])
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

(1 Thessalonians 2:13 [KJV])
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Always research for yourself, use all of the context, and never privately interpret!

Introduction/Start of study

YHWH? JHVH?

(1 Corinthians 10:32 [KJV])
Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

ALLELUIA OR ALLELUYA?

The use common in America of the word HALLELUIAH" is again used to make a false argument that it mean "Praise YAH!". It does not.

(Revelation 19:1 [KJV])
And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

(Revelation 19:3 [KJV])
And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

(Revelation 19:4 [KJV])
And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

(Revelation 19:6 [KJV])
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

The misconception here is that this means "PRAISE + YAH". It does not. It mean "Praise THE LORD". And the LORD is Jehovah, not "YAH" or "YAHWEH".

As the following verses will show by their context:

THE NAME OF JESUS IS JESUS

That JESUS is with a "J", not a "Y", and the people who changed it replaced it with something that is not Jesus. JOSHUA is Jesus, and JOSHUA is not YOSHUA! Yeshua is not Jesus, YAHWEH is not Jesus; neither is the name of God. JOSHUA is the Hebrew with a "J" and Jesus is the Greek with a "J".

(Joshua 3:14 [AKJV/PCE])
¶ And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;

(Acts 7:45 [AKJV/PCE])
Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

The people came in under Joshua, but Stephen calls him Jesus. This is with a "J", both times, every time in Scripture, not "Yoshua" and "Yesus"

THE "NEW LIVING 'TRANSLATION' "

Not actually a translation, this imposter changes the name of the LORD to Yahweh

  1. Genesis 22:14
    Abraham named the place Yahweh-Yireh (which means “the Lord will provide”). To this day, people still use that name as a proverb: “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”

  2. Exodus 3:15
    God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you. This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.

  3. Exodus 3:16
    “Now go and call together all the elders of Israel. Tell them, ‘Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—has appeared to me. He told me, “I have been watching closely, and I see how the Egyptians are treating you.

  4. Exodus 6:2
    And God said to Moses, “I am Yahweh—‘the Lord.’

  5. Exodus 6:3
    I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty’—but I did not reveal my name, Yahweh, to them.

  6. Exodus 15:3
    The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is his name!

  7. Exodus 17:15
    Moses built an altar there and named it Yahweh-Nissi (which means “the Lord is my banner”).

  8. Exodus 33:19
    The Lord replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.

  9. Exodus 34:5
    Then the Lord came down in a cloud and stood there with him; and he called out his own name, Yahweh.

  10. Exodus 34:6
    The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.

  11. Judges 6:24
    And Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and named it Yahweh-Shalom (which means “the Lord is peace”). The altar remains in Ophrah in the land of the clan of Abiezer to this day.

THE LEXHAM ENGLISH BIBLE (LEB)

1 Samuel 6:19 (LEB)
He struck seventy men among the men of Beth Shemesh because they looked into the ark of Yahweh. So the people mourned because Yahweh had struck a great blow among the people.

IT IS JHVH, NOT YHWH!

SO WHO IS THIS "YAHWEH"?

(Matthew 1:21 [KJV])
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

THE NAME OF JESUS IS JESUS

That JESUS is with a J, not a Y, and the people who changed it replaced it with something that is not Jesus. JOSHUA is Jesus, Yeshua is not Jesus, YAHWEH is not Jesus. Not YESUS, not Yeshua, Not Yahweh, not Yehovah.

(1 Corinthians 10:32 [KJV])
Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

One offensive thing that should bother all true Christians is those who want to correct God's Word, the Authorized Version, the King JAMES (with a "J") Bible. It does not. What offends many is the pointing out, the exposition of this practice among Christians.

There has been a very organized and consorted effort, a war waged by Bible correctors (Publishers) for the past 140 years to hide the name Jehovah from us, and switch it out to the tribal god of the Canaanites "Yahweh" instead. So who is Yahweh, then? Another group of "Torah Observant Sabbath Keepers" (their name) are members of the "Hebrew Roots Movement".

The origin of the movement is not Jewish, it is merely a return to Judaism, a return to the Law which never saved anyone.
(Acts 7:44,45 [KJV])
Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen. Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus (Joshua) into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

(Hebrews 4:8 [KJV])
For if Jesus (Joshua) had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

In the Old testament, Joshua gave them rest. That same name in the New Testament, is Jesus giving them rest. It is the same name, same Hebrew Word. with a "J", not a "Y".

Stephen is speaking about Joshua, in the Old Testament, with the Name translated into English. That English word is Jesus. To be consistent in translating, as was just said, else the book John would be "the book of Yon". The book of James would be "the book of Yames". We do not have "the book of Yob", "the book of Yonah", "the book of Yeremiah", "the book of Yechariah", "the book of Yoel", "the book of Yude", names like "Yezebel", "Yerusalem", "Yacob", "Yehoiakim". The fact is that a direct translation into English is to change the "Y" to a "J". In other words, the Hebrew word for Jesus is Joshua, not "Yeshua".

"Gentiles? That tabernacle was brought in by those who came with Jesus, that is, Joshua. And I think, for distinction sake, and to prevent mistakes, it ought to be so read, both Acts 7:45; Heb 4:8. Yet in naming Joshua here, which in Greek is Jesus, there may be a tacit intimation that as the Old-Testament Joshua brought in that typical tabernacle, so the New-Testament Joshua should bring in the true tabernacle into the possession of the Gentiles"
-Matthew Henry

THE CULTS OF YAHWEH

  1. There is a cult named “The Church of the Almighty God” or “Eastern Lightning”, pretending to be Christians.

    The followers believe that the biblical God has returned to earth as a woman named Yang Xiangbin "born to an ordinary family in the northern part of China in order to guide mankind for the third and final time. According to this cult, the first and second times of active guidance of mankind were as "YAHWEH" of the Old Testament and as Jesus in the New Testament.

    The group teaches that a woman who styles herself "Almighty God", from Zhengzhou, Henan, is the second Christ. Her most widely distributed book, The Word Appears in the Flesh proclaims itself the Word of God. The book claims the first coming of Christ was to redeem humanity, while the second is to judge and purify mankind and defeat Satan. It also claims that those who do not accept her words will receive severe punishment when the judgment ends."

  2. In the apocryphal book of Enoch, which is not Scripture, there is a story of the fall of the angels, located at that time on Mount Hermon, which was supposedly a gathering-place of the demons of old (Enoch xiii.; compare Brandt, "Die mandäische Religion," 1889, p. 38).
    AZAZEL IS ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THE REBELLIOUS WATCHERS IN THE TIME PRECEDING THE FLOOD; he taught men the art of warfare, of making swords, knives, shields, and coats of mail, and women the art of deception by ornamenting the body, dyeing the hair, and painting the face and the eyebrows, and also revealed to the people the secrets of witchcraft and corrupted their manners, leading them into wickedness and impurity until at last he was, at YAHWEH's command, bound hand and foot by the archangel Raphael and chained to the rough and jagged rocks of Dudael, where he is to abide in utter darkness until the great Day of Judgment, when he will be cast into the fire to be consumed forever (Enoch viii. 1, ix. 6, x. 4–6, liv. 5, lxxxviii.”

    The whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by AZAZEL: to him ascribe all sin. - Book of Enoch 10:8
  3. Still another is the "The Nation of Yahweh", which is a "Black Hebrew Israelite" religious cult founded in 1979 in Miami by Hulon Mitchell Jr., He called himself "Yahweh ben Yahweh". Their goal is to move black Americans, who it says are the original Hebrews/Israelites, back to Israel. The cult believes, teaches that Yahweh ben Yahweh is the Son of God. In this way, its beliefs are unique and distinct from those of other Black Hebrew Israelite groups.
    The founder, Hulon Mitchell, was indicted on federal racketeering and extortion charges, also convicted of conspiracy to commit murder. The group is just basically a black supremacist cult
