Due to unfounded Jewish fears of bringing upon themselves a possible retribution for breaking the third commandment, they began refusing to pronounce the divine name. It became normal practice to substitute a title, “Lord” (Adonai) for the name Yahweh when reading aloud. To indicate this replacement, the Masorites inserted the vowels from Adonai under the countenance of Yahweh resulting in a word, Yehovah, which came to be pronounced as Jehovah. Scholars of the Renaissance period misunderstood the purpose of vowel pointing and began pronouncing the name as Jehovah. This erroneous pronunciation became so common that many are still generally unwilling to accept the more correct pronunciation, Yahweh. The reference to this is Appendix E, page 726, of the Old Testament study Bible Psalms, which is part of the complete Biblical Library, Copyright 1996 Springfield, Missouri USA.
This practice of substituting titles for the actual name led to Yahweh being found in the bible less and less. Initially the word Yahweh was in the Bible nearly 7000 times, and by the time our Creator was in the flesh or incarnate, it was in the Bible less than 2000 times. In fact, no language had the letter J until the last 500 years. Is the family and personal name of the Creator and his Father important? What does the Bible say about the name?
“Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the ecclesia and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil in the name of the Master,” (currently Yahweh Shua) James 5:14. Our Creator says in John 16:23, “Verily, verily, I say unto you whatsoever you shall ask the Father in My name he will give you.” Thus, we should pray to Yahweh the Father in the name of his Son, Yahweh Shua, for healing.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Many other scriptures say that we are to give him glory, use his name, we are to dance to His name, lift our hands up to His name, we should bless His name, His name is our banner, we are to walk in His name, and we are to rejoice in His name. His name alone is excellent, His name defends and helps us, His name endures forever, His name is great, His name is Yahweh.
The name Yahweh is the eternal name of the family and our Creator. Luke 11:52 says “Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” Our Creator’s father’s name is Yahweh, and the resurrected (inherited) name of the Messiah is Yahweh Shua. The name Yahweh is the key of knowledge and power.
If you find this interesting, pray to the Father Yahweh in the name of his resurrected Son, Yahweh Shua, for truth and read the scriptures regarding His name. Next, read all the articles under News on this website, and following that you may be inspired to take the first step. If so, we look forward to your joining our family which you can count on for support and further understanding.
HalleluYah!
