Think on this! “YAHWEH bless you and keep you! YAHWEH make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. YAHWEH turn his face toward you and give you peace.” In the name of Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus our Messiah).
Pray this! O YAHWEH, our heavenly Father, grant your people favor that we might exalt and praise the name of YAHWEH wherever we are. And we are bold to say “Blessed is He who comes in the name of YAHWEH” for we know that we be the cry of a faithful remnant of your people. In Jesus name, AMEN.
Jim,
I look forward to your weekly reports. I know you believe as I do, and as most religious Jews believe in the scriptures, but this week I have to point out a critical flaw in your use if the Holy Name. We Jews don’t use the name for 2 reasons; one is that, G-d forbid, we use in incorectly, even when reading it from the Torah (we always use the word “Ad=noy” in place of the 4 letter acrostic (Y-K-V-K). You have chosen to pronounce it ‘Yahaweh’, which I know is also not correct, but our second reason is that nobody knows how to pronounce it at all. The name has SO much power that if not used correctly by the correct people (i.e. the Kohen Gadol on Yom Kippur) then much damage can result, including the sun and earth being destroyed. That NAME is too powerful to even attempt to say, but we WILL recognize it and so will YOU when it is said correctly. When we heard the Kohen pronounce the NAME correctly, all the nation would prostrate themselves and say “blessed be his NAME for ever and ever”. I assure you that if someone were to pronounce it correctly with the correct concentration, we will ALL know it.
I would like to hear a correction from you on this account and please give more credit to us Jews who do learn from Torah and from our Sages of blessed memory.
You know we have a story of Jesus using the holy Name that is in our Talmud. He carved the name onto his leg after he heard the Kohen Gadol pronounce it. He then used the name to fly over the Temple, but the sages saw this as a desecration, so they had to invoke their own use of the name to prevent this sin. I can get the source for you if you like.
G-d Bless.
Yosef
Shalom Jim;
Wonderful message again! I will post it to Facebook.
Blessings also to you and Pat
Hi Jim,
As a messianic ,I have to respctfully disagree.I was going to remove myself from your list but that would not be right,so I needed to write to you.
G-d’s,( just a sign of respect),name is UNSPEAKABLE,YHVH…BUT we CAN call Him abba….daddy.
And “Jesus” is NOT Messiah’s name.Both of these are offensive to “our Jewish brothers” & WILL NOT bring them into the kingdom but rather push them farther away..
I don’t wat to be offensive,eso I pray that G-d speaks to us & shows us both,what is true.
Todah,
Pat
Thank you Dr. Hutchens for your informative segment. Unfortunately we have dealt with the Sacred Name Only group in our area only too many times. They do not believe that the “Yahweh” pronunciation you use in your article is the correct one. They use the “Yahuah” pronunciation. Other “Namers” I am acquainted with use other various pronunciations. Some “Namers” even pronounce “anathema” upon those “Namers” who do not pronounce it the way they do. This is a very divisive topic up here in the Northern Panhandle of Idaho, I assure you.
What offends me most is that I have overheard some of them use their version of the “Name” in jokes between themselves. Perhaps this is why when the Cohenim blessed the people of Israel during the Temple Days they muted their voices in pronouncing the Name? This is so that the common people do not violate it. Of course, one can see how the goyim abuse their own languages word for God in their curses. Perhaps the hiding of the Name was to prevent this from happening by the common people?
Because of its divisiveness, we refrain (as do the Jews you mention in your article) from using any form of the Name and believe, with expectation, that Yeshua brings with Him at the Battle of Armageddon (mentioned in Revelation 19) the “Name which no one knows how to pronounce except Himself” which is the true pronounciation of the “Name.”
Perhaps “Yahweh” IS the true pronunciation, perhaps it is not. When the Masoretes placed the vowel points on Scripture, they used the vowel points for “Adonai” on the yud hay vav hay. Depends upon what vowel points and where they are as to how the word is really pronounced, since the original Hebrew Scriptures have no vowel points, but consonents.
Praise be to G-d Almighty!! We pray every day for the Peace of Jerusalem, and we pray that many, many Jewish people will come to the place where they recognize that G-d is on their side, even though right now it seems that the whole world is turning against the Jewish Nation. However, G-d is still on the throne, and believe me, He will repay all those who are fighting against the Jewish Nation.
Most people look at Yhwh and think 4 consonants, but isn’t it strange how Yhwh’s name contains all semi-consonants? The yod, he, and waw were used as “mothers of reading” before the vowel points were added by the Masoretes. They could have been used for long vowel sounds (?). For example: yod was long e, he was long a, and waw was long o.
So could Yhwh have been pronounced as eee-aah-ooo-aah?
