50) Looking for Jesus
Matthew 5: Jesus tells us to pray asking God to
sanctify his name!
- Imagine that!
- Jesus’ model prayer start by the sanctification
of God’s name!
- I had to go to page 91!
- There it is written:
- What is the true name of GOD and how does
one pronounce it? in Hebrew?
From my research it seems the true name of the
lord was lost or hidden for fear of misusing his
Holy name and break one of the commandments....
- We do not know a name for God other thand the
titles of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.. We may call
Him by Y Yahweh I am that I am.)
In Zephaniah we are taught that come the Kingdom
all will be given a pure language and one name to
call Him. Until then we must use titles, such as the
Trinity above, Almighty God, El and Elohim, Eternal
Father. Comforter, Counselor, Prince of Peace, Lord
of LOrds, The Holy One of Israel, Yeshua, Ruach
Chdesh (some will say HaRuach Chodesh), King of
kings, and so many more titles which cescribe Him,
yet not one is a name as thought of in this age today.
- This is a very important question you ask.
The Good News is that God clearly spelled out His
Name for us = Forever.
And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He
said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel,
‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” Moreover God said to
Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel:
‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me
to you.
This is My name forever, and this is My memorial
to all generations.’
God Abraham - Father
God Isaac - Son
God Jacob - Holy Spirit
You can find all THREE here - Matthew 3:16
When He had been baptized, Jesus came up
immediately from the water; and behold, the
heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the
Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting
upon Him. And suddenly a Voice came from Heaven,
saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
And here: Acts 4: 8-12
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto
them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
If we this day be examined of the good deed done
to the impotent man, by what means he is made
whole; Be it known unto you all, and to all the
people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ
of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised
from the dead, even by him doth this man stand
here before you whole. This is the stone which
was set at nought of you builders, which is become
the head of the corner.
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is
none other name under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved.
- There are several things to note:
1. The name of God in the Hebrew Bible is simply
shown as four consonants YHWH. The scribes added
vowels so now it is pronounced as Yahweh. But it
was also written as Jehovah.
2. Jews refuse to pronounce the name of God out of
reverence and obedience to the Ten Commandments.
So instead they call God ha Shem (the Name).
3. Jesus called Himself "I AM THAT I AM" or simply
"I AM" when He spoke to Moses at the burning bush.
He also said that that was His name. So when He was
on earth He told the Jews that He was "I AM" -- the
God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
4. The Hebrew name for Jesus is Yeshua which is
derived from YAH + SHUA, which means that God
is our salvation. So when you say "Jesus" you are
using the name of God.
- Amen. You will notice that some of the modern
versions such as the NIV substituted the English
word "Messiah" for the word "Christ" (which is the
English equivalent of "Christos"). Which means that
they deliberately "interpreted" rather than translated.
So why would Christians revert to Messiah (which
really should have been Mashiach) unless they hated
the idea of speaking of Jesus as the LORD Jesus Christ?
And when Messianic Jews speak of Yeshua ha Maschiach
they are deliberately avoiding the word "Lord? Now is
they were saying Adonai Yeshua ha Maschiach, that
would be quite different. But they are skipping the
word "Lord" and that is a serious issue.
- The pronunciation of YHVH differs mainly because
of varied accents.
The name YHVH may be compared to the English
grammar rule of gerunds for it is derived from the
Hebrew verb HYH, to be.
To call knowing Hebrew or learning it for self
betterment a movement is just a tad stupid since
people jump to using Greek as though Jesus was
teaching in Greek. He only went to the sheep of
His people.
So we have the gerund, YHWH, which when
Yahweh uses it, simply means to Will to Exist
or Be. .
No man knows the name to be given when God
delivers a pure tongue to all as per the prophecy of Zephaniah.
So stop calling giving credence to the language of
our blessed Savior a movement or we would call
all the denominations of Christianity and
Christianity itself a movements. If I may be
colloquial, duh.
- Hint : your following Him .
and in Hebrew we pronounce his name “ Yeshuah”
but Remember the holy ghost speaks in many tongues
and languages I think Jesus is sufficient for my own
tongue . “ hey- sues” I believe in another but the
different language or pronounciation doesn’t mean a
barrier to God
he made the gospel to be preached in all nations and
tongues and his name can be called upon from any
language or tongue by any nation or kindred of men.
Jesus is God , finally revealed in person to mankind
- Apparently nobody knows Exodus Chapter 6!
-But it is essential to understand the Bible!
- Verse 2 God tells his name YHWH to Moses!
- Verse 3 God tells he used to appear to Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty but regarding to
his name YHWH he did not make himself known
to them!
- Verses 6 and the following explain how he made
himself known to the Israelites by his only real
name that is the God of the PROMISE when he
freed them from Egypt and led them to the
promised land and gave it to them!
- Yes, there is no other name of God!
- The God of the Promise, the one who always
keeps his promises!
- And God made the earth to become a paradise!
- And he will keep his promise!
- But first he must clean it and take away all those
who oppose his will!
- If we don’t understand that, WE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE!
