    Everyone in ministry seems to have a specific testimony and calling. Dr. Brown you have an awesome testimony and I watch your show daily. But Nehemia Gordon has an overwhelming amount of experience and testimony on this subject. God has made His name known because He wants us to cry out to Him. The name describes His character. He was, He is, He will be our salvation.

      What I find really interesting is how Mr. Gordong has shown evidence about this issue. I personally believe God has shown mercy on us to let us know that small, yet worldshaking, detail of how to pronounce his name so his name is known among the nations.

    At min 15:38 Dr, Brown said , it doesn't matter if you mispronounce the Holy name of Abba. Well according to the Torah it was prohibited to mispronounce his name because somebody might pronouncing a foreign god's name. The name Yahweh according to Bible scholars was a goddess of the Phoenicians/Canaanites known as Asherah/Ishtar . Why would the Holy name of God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob be the same as the god of the Canaanites?
    Deut. 4:2 " You must not add anything to what I command you or take anything away from it, so that you may keep the commands of he LORD you God I am giving you."
    Exodus 23:13
    " Pay strict attention to everything I have said to you. You must not INVOKE the names of other gods; they must not be heard on your lips."
    The names of Yahweh, Yahuah, and Jehovah or Yehovah or even Ieohova are from pagan cultures like Canaanites gods. BE CAREFUL! Judgment might come upon you if you mis pronounce the Holy name of the Most HIgh
    According to Bible Scholars ( ancient Linguistics) said that the Tetragrammaton YHWH is an "speculation of the name " because nobody knows the accurate pronunciation (Hebrew phonetics) of the name of God. Then why make a claim that "Yahweh" is the right name when it sound like a foreign god of the Canaanites?

    This last week “I am” has been on my heart as it relates to God’s name and the way we all talk about “I am” in a personal context. And I wonder why... Then yesterday morning one of my Facebook friends posted something about God being “I am” and then Dr. Brown speaks on the name of God. Maybe this means that I and others should try to give more of him and less of us..

    Please consider.
    Cuneiform tablets (also containing vowels) were discovered near the Ishtar gate in Babylon which give a list of workers and captives to whom rations were given. Cuneiform scripts contain vowels. In addition to validating the biblical account in 2Kings 25:27-29 where it mentions that Jehoiachin (Yahuiachin) ate at the king's table, these tablets help to establish the way these names were pronounced before the Masorite scribes inserted their vowel pointing, based on tradition:
    "Yaukin, king of the land of Yahud," ("Jehoiachin, the king of the land of Judah") The New Unger's Bible Dictionary
    Also, a family of Jewish businessmen living in the Mesopotamian city of Kippur in the fifth century BC left behind a collection of clay tablets recording their commercial transactions. The clay tablets, known as the Murashu documents, contain vowels and list the names of about 70 Jewish settlers in Persia. The Hebrew names which begin with יהו (Yod Heh Waw) are all written "Yahu-" and never "Yeho".
    "In the cuneiform texts Yeho [YHW], Yo [YW] and Yah [YH] are written Yahu, as for example in the names Jehu (Yahu-a), Jehoahaz (Yahu-khazi) and Hezekiah (Khazaqi-yahu)" A. H. Sayce in "Higher Criticism" on p. 87
    "The evidence from the Murashu documents thus corresponds to that from other sources: after the Exile the ordinary form of the divine name used as an initial theophorous element was yahu" "Patterns in Jewish Personal Names in the Babylonian Diaspora" JSJ, Vol. 4 Issue 2 Pg. 188
    Notice that not only were names beginning with "Yeho" written as "Yahu", but also names beginning with "Yo" such as "Yochanan" (John) and "Yoel" (Joel) were written as "Yahu". This indicates John and Joel were originally pronounced "Yahuchanan" and "Yahuel".
    A third witness is found in an inscription of the Assyrian monarch Tiglath-pileser III (Gressmann Bilder 348; ANET 282a). When listing those kings who were paying tribute to this Assyrian King, it mentions "Yauhazi", also known as "Ahaz". Various lexicons such as the New Brown-Driver-Briggs-Gesenius Hebrew-English Lexicon (p. 219 b) and the Hebrew Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament (under "Ahaz") mention this inscription as well.

    When Paul took the Gospel to the pagans of southeastern Europe, did he proclaim the Hebrew names for God?
    No.
    He did not want God to appear foreign to his hearers.
    So Paul used the word "Theos."
    Theos was the pagan creator god.
    Paul was basically saying, "You guys know Theos exists, but you don't know much about him. He sent me here to explain him to you."
    When I share the Gospel to Muslims, I say, "You guys know Allah exists, but you don't know much about him. He sent me here to explain him to you."
    Many Christians in the Bible used other names of God besides YHWH.
    Many of these hyper-purists are proud of their supposed "knowledge" and their supposed lofty position over us.
    They are divisive and should be warned and warned again, and if they refuse to repent, they should be shunned according to Titus 3:10...
    "Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them."

      "'Name' has to do with character or with essence." -- Dr Brown
      So true.
      When Jesus said to pray "in my name," he was not telling us to end every prayer with "in Jesus' name."
      He was saying we should pray as his representative, and to pray according to his will.

      Actually as a Muslim, I should be the one to tell to you: you know that Yahuwah exists, but you are missing something about Him, let me explain to you.
      We Muslims are technically still Christians because we have accepted the truth about the Messiah contrarily to the Jews (or more accurately, Judaists) who have rejected him, but you Christians committed a similar mistake by not accepting the final Prophet that is mentioned in the Book of Malachi, the one that will receive the Book of Remembrance (the Quran), which enlightens you and clarifies the mistakes that were made. Yahuwah has revealed the Quran, you just don't know it yet.
      In the Quran, Joseph is quoted saying:
      “[...] And I have followed the faith of my forefathers, Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob. It is not for us to associate anything with God. This is by virtue of God’s grace upon us and upon the people, but most people do not give thanks."
      (Quran 12:38)
      Many Christians claim the Quran is not from Him, but the above verse clearly shows that we are talking about the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And they say it's not from Him because He didn't use the name Yhwh in it, and the vast majority of Muslims don't know this, but actually you're wrong: Yah is also mentioned in the Quran by name, but usually just translated as "He" or "You".
      Joseph then says:
      “You do not worship, besides Him, except names you have named, you and your ancestors, for which God has sent down no authority. Judgment belongs to none but God. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. This is the right religion, but most people do not know."
      (Quran 12:40)
      If we look at the Arabic
      مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ إِلَّا أَسْمَاءً سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنْتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ ۚ إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ۚ أَمَرَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
      ...
      ۚ أَمَرَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ ۚ He has commanded that you worship none but Him
      إِيَّاهُ translated as "He" is pronounced "iyyahu". This "Iyyahu", and sometimes just "Iyya", appears in multiple parts of the Quran, meaning "He" but always referring to God and nobody else, this is the type of "He" that "Yahuwah" also means. The One that when Moses asked Him what to call Him, He answered that He is Who He is.
      God replied to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM" [...]
      וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֶֽהְיֶ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶֽהְיֶ֑ה
      (Exodus 3:15)
      In fact, all of us Muslims call on Yah in all our prayers, most without realizing:
      1:5 إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ : You alone we worship, and You alone we seek for help
      إِيَّاكَ "Iyyaka" is translated as "You alone" by scholars, but they failed to realize the fact that it contains إيا (iyya = yah)

    @michaelharris1433 5 років тому

    Great information. Thank you Dr Brown.
    I do have a couple questions I'm hoping you can answer.
    1. You stated exodus 6:3 recorded abraham, isaac and Jacob new The Lords Name as "El Shadday" and not Yahweh. However, in genesis 22:14, it states Abraham named the place he almost sacrificed Isaac "Jehovah-jireh" or "Yahweh sees." This suggests to me, Abraham would have had to have known the name Yahweh to do this. And if this is true, would that also suggest the possibility there should be a question mark at the end of exodus 6:3, that Yahweh may have been asking a question? Your thoughts?
    2. One argument I see come up regarding The tetragrammaton and Jesus's Hebrew name is the original Hebrew and semetic vowels. They cite sources such as gesenius, the scholar who states the original hebrew vowels were "a, I and u." If this is correct (as the argument goes) this would eliminate yehoshua and yeshua as those vowels didnt exist back in the time of Joshua, successor to moses. They also point out yeshua did not appear until after the Babylon exile, which would make Joshua's name pronounciation different, as well as the Messiahs prophesied name in Zechariah 6:11. If this is true, wouldn't Jesus's hebrew name be something similar to "yahshua" or "Yahushua" or something like that? Your thoughts?

    • @gavin_hill
      @gavin_hill 5 років тому

      @Michael_Harris
      Interesting thought on the exodus passage
      My thoughts;
      Abraham did know his name and named it accordingly.
      And/Or Moses when he wrote the Torah used the name he had revealed to him.
      The first place YHWH is used is in Gen2:4 I would say that just because Moses was revealed the name after the enslavement of the Israelites does not mean that it was not previously known.

    For My salvation (Yeshua) is about to come,
    And My righteousness to be revealed.
    2 Blessed is the man who does this,
    And the son of man who lays hold on it;

      Darrius Kelly that’s wrong... it’s a misconception . I speak Hebrew..
      Yeshua simply means
      “ Salvation “ or “He saves” .
      The Bible even confirms this .
      Matthew 1:21 says
      “She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Yeshua, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.””
      ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1:21‬ ‭WMB‬‬
      While i do believe Yeshua is the Living God.. that doesn’t mean you can change the meaning of His name or change it to YAHSHUA because it better fits the Fathers name. Yes He did say He will come in His Father’s name... but the word name in Hebrew is Shem, which doesn’t just hold the meaning of a person or places name, it means their essence , what they are, who they are. So He was coming to earth bearing His Father’s Shem. Many bible verses Collosians 1, Philippians 2 will show us that He is the EXACT REPRESENTATION OF THE FATHER YHWH....
      And that is what it means to come in His name. Not to come bearing His actual letters of his name He is called

      A good place to start is to compare with the revealed word of God

      Heaven and Hell are not physical places at this present moment
      There is a heaven or the heaven where YHWH throne is but Rev 22 makes clear that YHWH will dwell on his throne in the new Jerusalem.
      Judge them by their fruits and examine all according to the revealed word of God.

      Yes, because what I have read (and read the whole Bible because I read and study everyday, and asked for wisdom and understanding, for which He's truly blessed me.) spoke a lot of God's glory. I'm not hearing that in Sundar's description of Heaven. He said there's a council of prophets in Heaven, but I'm feeling like if John couldn't reveal certain things, then why could someone else have them revealed to only them?

    Jesus in Greek: Ιησούς (pronounced like "ee" in the beginning - Eesus)

    Absolutely no relation found.
    Must have very bad intentions to twist things around.
    You know what? Just by observing how they twist things around, change things, erase things, regarding Jesus, you can already see that He is the Truth!

    Shalom Dr. Brown. How can you separate "knowing the Creator" from "knowing His name"? You won't get this from the Hebrew scriptures. We see with Abraham, He knew the name of the One who called him out of Ur of the Chaldees and built an altar to Yahweh, Gen12:7,8. It's man leaning to his own understanding to think he can have a relationship with the Creator without knowing His name. Without knowing His name you can be talking to anyone. That's why it is important that Yahweh's name should be known even before a relationship is developed.
    I'm glad you understand how Judaism disguised the true pronounciation of Yahweh's name and how "yeho" stems from the same source.11 minutes into the video. Since you admit this much and believe YAHweh is the correct pronunciation of the Creator's name, how can you not see that "YAH" should be in the beginning of the names like Jehoaikim or Jehoshaphat as you mentioned? I don't get this.
    Secondly, let's put to rest that there's no such thing as Yahshua. In the Original KJV 1611 Edition the name we have for the book of Joshua is Ioshua. Ioshua sounds exactly like Yahshua. The short "o" in Ioshua clearly represents the "hey" and "waw" hw combination that forms the diphthong aw and sounds like 'aw' or the short 'o' sound. The Hebrew letter "yod" should not be translated to the letter 'j' since it doesn't make the 'j' sound. It should be transliterated as 'i' or 'y". Therefore, Joshua should be transliterated as Ioshua or Yoshua and I would prefer the latter because it's presents the easiest way to pronounce it correctly. Yoshua is the same as Yahshua and pronounced the same! Since we know this name has the abbreviated form Yah of the name Yahweh, it's proper to show this element and use Yahshua where everyone can clearly recognized Yahweh is salvation. You wont get this understanding from yeho nor ye. As for Yeshua as it is written in the Hebrew, it should be understood as representing Yahshua and translated as such. We know the son of Nun name wasn't Yeshua, it was Yahshua. This alone should tell everyone that when we see it written in Ezra and Nehemiah it should be understood as Yahshua since it uses the yshwa for the son of Nun.
    Furthermore there's an article written by Frank Moore Cross *Personal Names in the Samaria Papyri* and in it he uses "Yah" and "Yahu" as prefixes for various Hebrew names from ancient sources. Just to give a few... *Yahu-ab* *Yahu-baga* *Yahu-yada* *Yahu-banah* *Yahu-zakar* *Yahu-hanan* *Yahu-nathan* These forms are ancient and supports the use of YAH as the prefix in biblical names such as the ones above and others like YAHSHUA.
    I wish I could post a clip of what's written in the article but the accents are lost when copying and pasting. On page 79 of this article Dr. Cross points out how yhw, yh and yhh, yw in so many words can all be pronounced as Yah in the initial form but he uses 'yo'. Please read it and read it carefully. If I am wrong please let me know. I will paste a small portion of the part I desire to post in it's entirety. This portion will hopefully make the point clear above, especially about what I have written regarding Yahshua (in the form Yoshua).
    "Thus, we should reconstruct the vocalization yonatan for Elephantine ywntn, yhwntn, and yhntn (bibl. yonatan; in the Septuagint always IcovaGav). Bibl. yeho- is a "learned" form, i.e., a hypercorrection comparable to such hypercorrection forms as meod and beos (older *mod and *bos ). Cf. Berg strasser 1962: ?16c."
    I do apologize for the pasted post above to be not in the exact form that is within the article (please read the article when you have time) but the legible part is enough to drive my point home. "Yonatan" in the above post, the first part has a short 'o' sound and can be pronounced as Yah-natan or Yaw-natan. Note, that Dr. Cross also mentions the form YHWntn where YHW is pronounced by some as YAHU but Dr. Cross states it can be pronounced the same as Yonatan (Yah-natan or Yaw-natan). Dr. Cross further mentions that the prefix "yeho" is a learned form, then says i.e., a HYPERCORRECTION! A hypercorrection is the erroneous use of a word form or pronunciation based on a false analogy with a correct or prestigious form. It is non-standard use of language that results from the over-application of a perceived rule of language-usage prescription. In other words, Dr. Cross is saying the form "yeho" that we see as the prefix translated into English of many Hebrew names is erroneous and stems from a traditional source like the one Dr. Brown had mentioned regarding Yehovah, Yehowah and Jehovah. Those false vowel marks used by the Masoretic scribes to hide the name of Yahweh were also used for names with the prefix that represents the abbreviated form of the Yahweh's name which is, Yah.
    And Dr. Cross isn't the only one who have used 'Yah' or 'Yahu' as the prefix of Hebrew names. The point of all this is we should know who we serve as close as we can come to know and make no compromise when it comes to the word of Yahweh. I can only tell you how Yahweh thinks and feels based on His word. To say Yahweh doesn't have a problem with what people call Him regarding HIS NAME isn't biblical. What is biblical is, Isaiah55: 8 *For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh.*
    9 *For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.*
    Psalms94:11 *Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, That they are vanity.*
    Yes, Yahweh knows our hearts. Jer17:9 *The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?*
    The time of Ignorance has been over many centuries ago. Satan used the word in the very beginning to deceive and is still doing. We can't trust in man and what He thinks if it's not according to the word of Yahweh. Yahweh is the HOLY ONE AND HE IS KING. We should respect Him to the upmost and never think to change what shouldn't be changed. If you have it by heaven's authority to change His name or think it's okay if people call Him by a different name, or to say a relationship with Him is more important than knowing His name, please support it with scripture.
    Shalom

    God, YHWH’s name pronunciation isn’t as important to man as Jesus’ name. The Bible says at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and tongue confess. Perhaps the Lord doesn’t want us to know his name because he perfectly preserved His Son’s name.

    Shalom From Israel,
    Please Read The Bible In Hebrew:
    Nehemiah 8:17 And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua (YESHUA = ישוע) the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
    Numbers 13:8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea (HOSHE'A = הושע) the son of Nun.
    Numbers 13:16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua (YE'HOSHU'A = יהושע).
    We Can Understand That The Name Jeshua/Yeshua/ישוע Originally Is Jehoshua/Yehoshua/יהושוע.
    Salvation Is From THE LORD YHWH ( = יהוה ) Through Faith In His Son JESUS CHRIST (יהושוע המשיח) And Of His Holy Blood That Was Shed In Redemption For All Sin, On The Ark Of The Covenant In Jerusalem, That Day He was Nailed To The Cross As The High Priest And The Lamb Offering Of The Passover Sacrifice, And Rose From Death To Life On The Third Day By The Grace Of His Father, The Heavenly Father, YHWH ELOHIM, As Discovered And Presented By The Honorable RON WYATT, GOD Bless His Soul In The Name Of Jesus Christ, Amen.
    Jesus Christ = Iesous Christos = יהושוע המשיח = Y'AOUASHU'A HA'MASHI'AKH (/YOWASH'A Hamashiach*)
    Follow The Name Of Joshua Son Of Nun In Hebrew And Greek Bibles.
    Modern Hebrew Letter "VAV" Once Had The Same exact Pronunciation Of The Modern English Letter "W" And Should Be Called And Read Out-loud As "WOW"/ "WAW", This According To SEFARADIC And YEMENITES Jewish Religious Men And As Such Is Instructed In Their Prayer Books Called SIDUR TPHILA סידור תפילה.
    Genesis 4:26
    And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord.
    In The Hebrew Bible It Is Written YHWH (= יהוה) Instead Of "The Lord": כו וּלְשֵׁת גַּם-הוּא יֻלַּד-בֵּן, וַיִּקְרָא אֶת-שְׁמוֹ אֱנוֹשׁ; אָז הוּחַל, לִקְרֹא בְּשֵׁם
    Exodus 23:21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
    John 17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
    The Hebrew Letters YHAOU/YHW/ יהו Represent The Name Of THE LORD In Names Like:
    Elijah (ELI-YHAOU = אליהו)
    Johnathan (YHAOUA-NATHAN = יהונתן)
    John (YHAOUA-KHANAN = יהוחנן)
    Matthew (MATAT-YHAOU = מתתיהו)
    Y'AOUASHU'A Means: YHWH (Is The) SALVATION, In Hebrew : יהושוע = יהוה + ישועה And Mistakenly Read YEHOSHUA/ IEHOSHUA, Without Pronouncing The Letter "WAW" In The Middle.
    The Name "Jesus" Comes From The Greek Translation Of The Name Of Yehoshua (יהושע בן נון Son Of Nun) To "IESOUS"
    Y'AOUASHU'A Is THE MESSIAH That's Comes In The Name Of THE LORD YHWH = Y'HAOUAH
    II'AWAH-SHU'A Is THE KING OF KINGS As Given To Him By His Holy Father, He Is The Son That Comes In The Name Of THE FATHER
    Changing The Name According To Greek Grammatical Rules: Male Names End With Letter "S", Therefore: IEAOUA >> IESOUS
    The "IE" Should Be Pronounced As "YI" , As In The End Of The Word "HAWAII", And In Reverse: YAWAH (iiawaH).
    Also "IOWA" Stands For YAOUA/YOWAH. Native American People Knew The Name Of YHWH.
    Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
    Blessed Is The Name YHWH ELOHIM For Ever-Lasting And Blessed He Who Comes In The Name Of THE LORD, His Son Jesus Christ Whose Name Is Y'AOUA'SH'A The Messiah, All Praise And Glory To The Name That Is Above All Other Names, The Name Of THE LORD SALVATION יהושוע המשיח.
    I Wish You All To Pray For The Father's Will To Be Done, In The Name Of Jesus Christ, Y'AOUA'SHU'A HA'MASHI'AKH, The King Messiah, Who Is Coming Soon. May ELOHIM The GOD Of Abraham Issac And Israel, The Father Of Jesus Christ, And Our Creator, Bless All believers And Forgive And Save All Sinners From Satan, And Lead Us To Green Pastors And To His kingdom In Heaven, Amen.
    Shalom And Thank You,
    Shay Shalom.

      These are a few names he is 'known' by all describing his being and some directly to the Persons that coequally and coeternally as revealed in the scriptures are YHWH
      The discussion Dr brown was having was over the pronunciation of Jesus as the disciples would have spoken to him. And the pronounciation name of God revealed in the burning bush to Moses. Two specific names and the pronounciation of those names, don't get confused about the point of the video.
      The answer is
      Yahweh "ya•wei"
      and
      Yeshua "ye-shu-ah" (suggested hebrew) or Iesou/s (Greek)
      "Ee•suu" or "heh•suu•s"

      Wow I wrote that a while ago thanks for reminding me of it friend.
      The term "adonai" used by Israel was a name for God, this came from replacing the vowel pointers of the Hebrew "YHWH" (•a••e•) with the vowel pointers for "adonai" which mean Lord (a•o•ai)
      (Obviously in Hebrew not english.)
      The point of this was that the teachers of Israel had thought it too Holy to pronounce the Lords name risking blasphemy.
      So when the scriptures were read aloud the vowel pointers indicated the reader to use "adonai" in placement.
      Hope this information helps, God knowns mans heart and using adonai does not send a man to hell!

    All attempts at trying to figure out how to pronounce God's name are futile and wrong. As you know, there is no reliable "proof" of the pronunciation you are using "Yah-weh" being correct. As you also know, HaShem doesn't have name as you and I understand that term. Every "name" we read is simply one of His/ITS "titles" expressing an attribute of His/ITS incomprehensible BEING. For example: “YHVH malakh” is “YHVH Reigns”; “YHVH Rophekha” is “YHVH is your Doctor (heals you)”; “YHVH M’kadish-khem” is “YHVH Sanctifies you“ (sets Israel apart), etc. HOWEVER, the Jewish Scriptures (TNK) tell us exactly WHEN we will all know Elohim's "name". It shall be "...in that day". What "day" is that?
    Isa 52:6 Therefore My people shall know My name;
    Therefore they shall know in that day
    That I, even He that spoke, behold, here I am.
    7How beautiful upon the mountains
    Are the feet of the messenger of good tidings,
    That announces peace, the harbinger of good tidings,
    That announces salvation;
    That said to Zion:
    ‘Your God is King!’
    8Your watchmen shall lift up their voices,
    Together they sing;
    For they shall see, eye to eye,
    HaShem’s return to Tzion.
    See also Ezekiel 43:1-5 on HaShem's return to Tzion / Yerushalayim to fill the Third Temple with His/ITS "Ka-vod". And for those who are wondering, "no", this is not about Yeshua. It is about the manifest Presence of the God of Yeshua returning to the Holy of Holies in the Third Temple. (John 17:3, 20:17, etc.) Attempting to say the Name and being incorrect is very possibly a violation of the 3rd commandment - taking the Name "in vain"; i.e."using it falsely," and / or making it "worthless", etc. However, there is a simple "approved" Name we can use. It's in your bible several times. That Name is the abbreviation, "Yah". Safe... simple... and correct. Shalom

    Yeshua sounds more right and more of the Messianic Jews in Israel use Yeshua as it came from the LXX(Septuagint) like you said; And how Iesous was translated like that and Yahweh was the more probable the Divine Name. Yahshua makes me itchy when I hear it. Yehoshua and Yeshua are more likely(in my option) and like you said it could be Yeshu with the a dropped is also probable. What truly matters is the heart and that God knows your calling out to the God of Israel. If you say Jesus its okay as well of Heysous or Yay-sou. What matters is God knows your calling out to Him. Sometimes people just want to be right and it becomes about ego and isn't done in the right spirit. I was saved by just using Jesus and learned through time about his name being Yeshua. Messianic Jews in Israel more use Yeshua and have no problem with Gentiles like myself using Jesus. It ends up just trying to prove something that is "debatable" and we shouldn't waste to much time on those matters. You can even just say Adonai if you want or Kurios like Traditional Jews do. It ends up being like Gnosticism where people think they have some "hidden knowledge"; And the Bible is clear that "no Scripture is of private interpretation". That's one of the first heresies that the Early Church battled. Just love one another and don't waste time on "disputable matters".

    What is important is not the pronunciation of His name, but the meaning of His name. You seriously do not call Him by His name anyway. Elohim is a description of the nature of this deity, meaning powers. YHWH is His name, meaning I live. Adonai is His title, meaning Lord. The translation of the English Bibles are all arbitrary and messed up. Every Hebrew name has a meaning, but Iesus being Greek has no meaning! You need to have the original form of the the savior's name to understand who he really was. And there is no evidence that the Gospel of John and any canonical gospels were actually first written in Greek. To the Jewish in that time period, Greek was at best their second language. Unless you were a very well educated person in that time period, you wouldn't be able to write Greek very well. John was not well educated! Thomas was the most educated disciple. But the Gospel of Thomas was rejected by the Church. The Gospel of Thomas was found in Coptic, not Greek.
