NEW COVENANT PASSOVER: A GLOSSARY OF TERMS & CONCEPTS

1.     The exodus of the Israelites from Egypt begins with the Passover in Exodus 12.

A.   A lamb for each household selected on the tenth of that first month. (Nisan/Abib)

B.    That lamb is held until the fourteenth day, killed in the evening of that day, and eaten “in that night.” (Exodus 12:8)

C.    The Israelites are told to eat with loins girded, shoes on their feet, staff in their hands and in haste. Why?  They eat after sunset, the night of the fourteenth, (beginning of the 15th), and the destroyer passes over the dwellings of the Israelites at midnight. They are to stay inside until it is time to depart. According to Numbers 33:3, they depart on the next day after the Passover, or on the fifteenth.

D.   All males who eat the Passover must be circumcised in the flesh. (Exodus 12:48)  

E.    This is the Passover of the Jews.  (John 6:4, 11:55)

2.    The Hebrew concept of a day is very different than the Roman concept, which we follow today. The Hebrew day begins in the evening at sunset and continues through the daylight portion until the sunset.

A.   The Roman concept of the day begins at 9 PM or midnight and continues through the next day.

B.    We are not used to thinking in terms of a day being from sunset to sunset. This is important to grasp for a full understanding of the timing of the Passover.

3.    The concept of between the evenings is introduced in Exodus 12:6. The English translation of the Hebrew is in the evening. The Hebrew is Ben ha-arbayim.

A.   The Jewish Encyclopedia says this about ben ha-arbayim: The time between the two evenings was considered to be after noon until nightfall.

B.    The period of the afternoon refers to the time that the sun begins to descend after the high noon. Anytime after the high noon the Passover lambs could be killed.

4.    The Passover season had not begun at the time of Messiah’s supper with his disciples on the night in which he was betrayed. (Matthew 26:20; Mark 14:17; Luke 22:14; John 13:1)

A.   A very important understanding is that Messiah died on the tree as the Passover lambs were sacrificed at 3 PM (our time) during the daylight portion of the fourteenth.  The Pharisees did not want to defile the first high day of unleavened bread by leaving him on the tree so they hurried to remove him and placed him in a tomb. The first high day of unleavened bread began after sunset following his death, which was the fifteenth.

B.    The Jews did not begin to remove the leavening from their households until 11:00 AM and completed by noon the same day the lambs were sacrificed for Passover.

C.    The supper Messiah had with his disciples before his death was not part of the Jewish Passover observance. It was before the leavening was removed, before the killing of the lambs, and before the Days of Unleavened Bread even began.

D.   This meal would have been served with leavened bread. The Greek word used for the bread Messiah used on that night is always artos. (Strong’s 740).   The authors of the Scriptures could have used another Greek word for this bread if it had been anything else. That word could have been azymos (Strong’s 106), which means unleavened bread.  However, this Greek word is never used for the bread that was used that evening. The bread used during the days of unleavened bread, as recorded in the Greek, is azymos.  The Hebrew word for unleavened bread is matzah. (Strong’s 4682)  The bread Messiah gave to his disciples was artos.  (Strong’s 740)

5.    It is very important to understand that the concept of leaven being sin is not scriptural.  It is an invention of man.  The Talmud teaches that leaven is sin, but this is not found in the scriptures.

6.    It is important to understand what the bread of the firstfruits is, as well as the bread of affliction.  Please see an article on this topic on the website.  This false teaching that leaven is sin has obscured a correct understanding about the firstfruits and their becoming a new creation through the pervasive infusion of Messiah’s spirit.  

7.    The New Covenant Passover Service

A.   To participate you must be baptized in the name of YahwehShua. 

B.    The observance is held after sunset at the beginning of the evening of the fourteenth of Abib or Nisan.  For 2018, it goes from sunset of 4/30 to sunset of 5/1 according to the Gregorian calendar.  Our corresponding night for Messiah’s supper was Tuesday evening.  He then died on Wednesday afternoon at 3:00 PM.  He was placed in the tomb before the beginning of the High Day and remained there three days and three nights (the sign of Jonah) until his resurrection just before sunset on the weekly Sabbath.  This is why Mary visited his empty tomb on the morning of the first day of the Hebrew week.   

C.    Our observance begins with a prayer.  Next, there is the footwashing. During the footwashing, read from John 13:1-17.  After the footwashing, we partake of the new emblems that Messiah introduced:  the leavened bread and the fruit of the vine (not wine, but juice). During the dispensing of the emblems, read from Matthew 26:26-29.  Next, we have prayer and sing a song of praise.  The service is then ended.  For the disciples, this was a joyous occasion because they did not understand what was about to happen to Messiah.  For us also, it is a time of joy and hope.  We have the opportunity to learn from the marital failures of the Israelites, to better prepare ourselves as the espoused bride of Messiah.  During the Days of Unleavened Bread, we better understand the affliction that began with the exodus from Egypt. 

8.    The members of the Light of YahwehShua observe the Days of Unleavened Bread.  The leaven is removed by noon of the 14th and we eat unleavened bread for seven days from the 15th to the 21st.  Just as there is a Passover of the Jews, the Days of Unleavened Bread were kept by the Jews to commemorate their release from bondage in Egypt.  However, we observe these days for a different reason.  The bread eaten during this period is known as the bread of affliction.  (Deuteronomy 16:3)

What does this affliction refer to?  It was the affliction that the Messiah endured during his first marriages.  His first wives, the northern kingdom (Samaria) and the southern Kingdom (Jerusalem/Judah) betrayed Messiah and broke their marriage vows.  (Exodus 19)  They disobeyed the marriage covenant, which was confirmed on Mt. Sinai.  Yahweh (Messiah, or the Son) divorced the northern kingdom, but remained married to the southern kingdom. It was Judah that killed her husband.  With his death, the marriage covenant was terminated.  We of the new covenant have much to learn from the affliction that Messiah endured.  The disobedience of the old covenant can teach us about the dangers of disobedience in the new covenant.  There are serious consequences involved.  Please refer to Hebrews 10:26-27.  We have some important lessons to learn during these days.

LIFE & DEATH

What does our Creator mean in Matthew 22 when He says, “I am the Yahweh of the living”, when clearly Abraham, Issac and Jacob had been dead for many years?  In addition, how does He speak of physical death as “sleeping” such as with the case of Lazarus (John 11:11) and many others?  What does He say in Hebrews 9:27 “it is appointed for man to die once and then the judgment,” so did Lazarus die twice?

Physical man is formed from the “dust of the ground” and the breath of life (Genesis 2:7).  The dust is symbolic of Adam’s body made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons which make up atoms. Atoms in turn make up molecules; molecules lining up and making cell membranes; cells lining up to making flesh.  James confirms in 2:26 that the physical body without the spirit is dead.  The Greek word for spirit is πνεύμα, (pneuma), which is the breath of life that comes from the Father, and which is being worked within this physical life by the Son at the direction of the Father. Ecclesiastes 12:7 confirms that when we die that dust returns to the earth and the spirit, i.e., your mind, or the breath of life, shall return to the Father who gave it.  Paul confirms in 1 Corinthians 15:44 that there is a natural or physical body and there is a heavenly or supernatural spiritual body.  In addition, in 1 Corinthians 15:40, he confirms there is an earthly body, i.e., a terrestrial body and a celestial or heavenly body.

Thus, our Creator says in John 11:11, that Lazarus “sleeps” (which is comforting to know) which means that his body was physically dead; however, his spirit, the breath of life (his mind), was asleep and back with the Father with no thoughts, dreams, praise or knowledge.  That explains why in Matthew 22:32, he says He is the Yahweh of the living.  Abraham, Issac and Jacob, though they are physically dead, their spirit, their mind, their breath of life is alive, but asleep with the Father.  Thus, our spirit, our mind is only awake if we are either in a physical body or if He places us into a spiritual body at the Seventh Trumpet (1 Cor 15:52, 1 Thes 4:16, Rev 11:11-15) if we are fortunate enough to be one of the 144,000 saints. Or if not, we will be in the innumerable multitude in the last great day, or if we never overcome we will be outside the kingdom in the new heavens and earth (Rev22-15).  So, James in 2:26 says that the body without the spirit is dead which means a physical body without the spirit from the Father (the breath of life) is death.  Also, a spiritual body without the spirit will likewise be dead.

If you are unfortunate enough to be in a fleshly body and hit the lake of fire, your body will be destroyed instantly, but your spirit, the breath of life, will be asleep and return to the Father.  Likewise, if you are one of the fallen angels that have failed to repent and are thrown into the lake of fire, the spiritual body will be destroyed, but the mind, the spirit, will go back to the Father asleep, but alive.

Then why does it say in Hebrew 9:27 that it is important for all men to die “once” and then the judgment.  Did Lazarus die twice?  What our Creator is saying here is that until he is done with you in this physical body, you are not dead, whether you have been dead four days like Lazarus or 4000 years.  When you read Ezekiel 37, it is obvious a lot of people (probably everyone that is not a saint) will have a chance to learn for 1,000 years and have a second chance to overcome when the adversary is let out (after the 1,000-year millennium) for a little season, i.e., 100 years at the start of the last great day (Isaiah 65:20).   Lazarus clearly died twice physically, and he still may have his physical life extended a third time in the millennium, according to the Father’s will.  When our Creator is done with us in this physical body, then you are truly dead physically. Thus, the physical body is the time that He is shaping and working with your heart (mind).  He wants you to overcome the adversary in this physical body because that is what allows the growth of the spirit of Messiah in you (Galatians 4:19).

In Ecclesiastes 7:1 He says that the day of your death is better than the day of your physical birth, because it means our Master, our Creator, is finally done with us in shaping our mind.  Thus, when He says it is “appointed for man to die once then the judgment”, he decides (“appoints once”) when he is finally done with your physical life. Revelation 20:5 states that the rest of the dead lived not again until the 1000-year millennium is finished, but this could be saying that our Creator is not handing out any more spiritual bodies for 1,000 years (144,000 saints received spiritual bodies at the 7th trump, (see previous verse, Rev 20:4). A second chance sounds great, but many say Ezekiel 37 only applies to physical Israel, i.e., the Israelites that didn’t make the 1st resurrection. However, if our Creator can graft spiritual gentiles into the spiritual tribes of the 144,000 saints, (Rev 7:1-8, Romans 11:1-36) then He certainly can graft physical gentiles into physical Israelites. Remember, Mat 3:9, which says out of these stones our Messiah can raise up children of Abraham.  

At the transfiguration, Peter saw the glorified vision of the Messiah as well as Moses and Elijah.  We know these are visions as YahwehShua Messiah is the only one who has died physically and then resurrected into a spiritual body thus far.  However, from what we have learned about this physical life, if our Creator decides to extend Moses’ physical life and Elijah’s physical life so that they can become the two witnesses during the last three and half years just prior to the Seventh Trumpet, it certainly is a possibility.   He could certainly achieve it, because no one is physically dead until he appoints it!

Thus, every created being, including all the angels and even the angels that have fallen, as well as every single human that has lived and every aborted fetus will live again on his timetable, thus, no one will be lost permanently.

If this interests you, consider praying to the Father Yahweh in the name of His resurrected Son, the Resurrected Messiah YahwehShua for truth.  Read all the articles on this website and consider taking the first step.  We then will welcome you into the family.

IS HIS WORD ABOVE HIS NAME?

Psalm 138:2  “I will worship toward thy holy temple and praise thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth:  for thou has magnified thy word above all thy name.” (KJV)  Is King David saying the word is elevated above the name?  

David knew the difference between the Father and the Son, and understood the relationship of Father and Son to himself.  Psalm 110:1  “The Lord said to my Lord set up my right hand until I make thy enemies thy footstool.” We know the name Yahweh was erroneously removed by the scribes, and replaced by a title, Lord (see the article, The Name YahwehShua, published Jan. 25, 2015 on our website).  Yahweh, the Father, said to Yahweh, the Son “sit at my right hand until I make thine enemies a footstool.”  Matthew 22:41-46:  “While the Pharisees were gathered together Yahshua Messiah asked them saying what think you of the Messiah:  Whose son is he?  They said unto him the son of David.  He says unto them how then does David in spirit call him Master saying Yahweh said to my Master sit down at my right hand till I make thine enemies thy footstool?  If David then called him Master how is he his son?  And no man was able to answer him a word neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.”  

The Messiah was the spiritual master of David and indeed the Master and Creator of the seen and unseen universe, the Alpha and Omega carrying out the plan at the direction of the Father.  However, he was also a physical descendant of David.  Matthew 1:1-16 shows the genealogy of Joseph.  Note in verse six showing that King David begat Solomon, and in verse 16, Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary.  Luke 3:23-38 shows the genealogy of Mary. Note in verse 23, “Yahshua himself began to be about 30 years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son[in law] of Heli (remember Joseph was the son of Jacob.)  Note verse 31, Nathan was the son of King David.  Thus, Mary was a descendant of King David, through his son, Nathan, whereas Joseph was also a descendant of King David through his son, Solomon.  Thus, the Messiah’s mother, Mary, and her husband, Joseph, were both physical descendants of King David.

The Messiah, Yahshua, who was without sin, confirmed his submission to the Father in Mark 10:8 and Matthew 19:17:  “Why call me good there is only one good the Father.”  He also said he is the only one to ever see the Father, John 6:46.  The Father is the light that no one can approach (1 Tim. 6:16), except the Son, and in whom there is no darkness.  (1John 1:5)  The Messiah has been the agent of the Father’s plan throughout all time, first creating the seen and unseen world throughout the old “testament” (covenant is more accurate) as confirmed by Paul in 1Cor. 10:4:  “For they drank of that spiritual Rock and that rock was Messiah.”  He continued the plan when he took on all the sins of the world and became a curse which defiled his human name, confirmed by Paul in Galatians 3:13.  He was resurrected in the name of YahwehShua (see article, The Name of Faith, Jan. 25, 2015.)  The scriptures confirm the name Yahweh is above all blessing and praise (Neh 9:5), magnified for ever (1 Chr. 17:24), set apart, i.e., holy, (Ps 99:3), on the high priest’s forehead (Ex 28:38), and excellent (Ps 8:1 & 9).  The Father has exalted (resurrected) the Son and given him a name above every name, (Phil 2:9-11) and Paul confirms that he (Messiah) has by inheritance (Heb 1:4) obtained a more excellent name.  Yahweh’s name ALONE is excellent (Ps 148:13).  YahwehShua Messiah continues the plan of the Father and inspired Peter (Acts 4:12) to confirm that there is no salvation under any other name given to man (including the incarnate Messiah’s human name of Yahshua.)

If you find this interesting, pray to Yahweh in the name of His Son, YahwehShua, for truth, read the articles on this website, and consider taking the first step.

Passing of Elder Robert Bondurant

Our senior elder Robert (Bob) Bondurant passed on 2/20/20.  He was the author of almost all the articles on this website..  The leadership of our fellowship of faith in the United States now falls to another elder.  Bob was passionate about serving Yahweh, and devoted countless hours to his studies.  He eagerly helped anyone who needed help understanding a scripture passage.  He willingly traveled to Kenya at the request of our now Elder John Rutere Mugo, who wished to be immersed in the name of salvation and to align his assembly with the Light of YahwehShua.  Bob traveled to Embu, Kenya, primarily at his own expense, where he baptized four new brothers and sisters and anointed an elder.

Those of us who remain are extremely grateful for his years with us.  He was kind, compassionate and generous.  We will always treasure his memory.

ABOUT THE NAME YAH'SHUA VS YAHWEHSHUA

Editor’s Note: This article was written by George Gabler of kahalyahweh.net who granted his kind permission for us to reprint it here.

The name Yah'shua comes from Hoshea.

Numbers 13:16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea [Hoshea (Deu 32:44)] the son of Nun Jehoshua [Heb:יהושוע  - same as Yah'shua -יהושע]. 

That means that Yah'shua is an expansion of the name Hoshea, which means "salvation" [re H#1954], from the root word "yasha" [H# 3467]. Making the meaning of Yah'shua [Yah-saves] the salvation of Yah. It is not a contraction of anything!

Why the extrapolation of His prophetic human name, as either a contraction or an expansion, is in error.

The name "Yah'shua" is the prophetic human name givien 5x for Messiah in Zechariah 3:1-9, plus 1x in Zechariah 6:11-13. The number five is associated with 'grace' [re Bullinger's notes on numbers], plus 1 time signifying 'unity', together equaling 6, the number of man. There is one truth: Yahweh Saves! Just as there is one Mikveh, one Faith, and one Kahal [congregation/Body], revealing that grace and truth are brought by Messiah [Jn 1:17].

Zechariah 14:9 And YAHWEH shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be united YAHWEH, and his name united.

Note: Y'shua/Yeshua cannot be the prophetic human name of Messiah, because:

1.   Y'shua [ישוע] Anglicized as Jeshua, is generic meaning “he is saved”, and is only used about 30 times in the entirety of the Hebrew scriptures, 28 of which are exclusive to the exile books of Ezra-Nehemiah, written nearly 900 years after the Exodus [13th century BCE]!
"Most scholars date the work [Ezra-Nehemiah] to the fourth century BCE." [Hindy Najman (2014) "Ezra" in Adele Berlin and Marc Zvi Brettler (eds.) The Jewish Study Bible (second edition). New York: Oxford University Press.][taken from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Ezra]

2.   Y'shua [ישוע] cannot be directly transliterated into Greek as it becomes ISOU, ISOUS, or ISON, all of which are the Greek words for 'equal'. Which is ironic, because it isn't!

3.   Y'shua [ישוע], which does not contain any linguistic link to The Father’s name, is not used in the prophetic passages of Zechariah which give us Messiah's name, [יהושע] Yah'shua.

4.   Yeshua is used in the LXX Greek [Iesou] but is not a transliteration of Yah'shua. [see LXX Nu 26:28]

5.   [ιεσου] Iesou (see #4) is not used anywhere in the N.T. Greek.

Why Messiah's prophetic human name cannot be the name of salvation:

1. Yahweh put all sin and iniquity on Messiah when He was crucified on the tree [xulon].

Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and YAHWEH hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. ... 10-12 Yet it pleased YAHWEH to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin....for he shall bear their iniquities... because he hath poured out his soul unto death....

2. He was defiled with (our) sin -- and He died IN (our) sin!

John 19:33 But when they came to Yah'shua, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: 34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

3. He became sin!

2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin....

Literally: 2 Corinthians 5:21

(YLT)  for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin....

[Youngs Literal Translation]

(DRB)  Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us: ....

[1899 Douay-Rheims Version]

The Greek text has no corresponding words in this verse for "to be"'. The addition of which weakens the force of the expressed intent: Messiah was made sin!

4. His blood was poured out [Jn 19:33; Isa 53:12] while He was still hanging on the tree, so not subject to resurrection because:

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Yahweh; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

When Messiah was resurrected He could manifest Himself as flesh and bones, but no blood.

Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

Therefore, His prophetic human name was the name of flesh and blood, which was lower than the angels.

Psalm 8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. [+Heb 2:7]

+

Hebrews 2:9 But we see Yah'shua, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death….

5. He paid the full penalty of sin - not just death, but also that His name was blotted out of the book of life!

Deuteronomy 29:20 YAHWEH will not spare him, but then the anger of YAHWEH and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and YAHWEH shall blot out his name from under heaven.

That's TORAH!

Messiah's human name was blotted out of the book of life! There is no salvation in any human name!

Understand! Extrapolation of His prophetic human name "Yah'shua" to YahwehShua reduces the name YahwehShua to a human name, which is totally unscriptural, completely negating the sin offering – because putting sin on the name insures that it would be blotted out of the book of life! How can the name Life be blotted out of the book of life? That's insane! Yet that is the insanity that is religion!

For thousands of years the name of salvation was YAHWEH! Who has the authority to elevate the blotted-out name to be greater that the name of Eternity? No one!

Was Messiah ever called "YahwehShua" while He was flesh and blood?

No, but as the only-begotten son, and heir of the Father, He had the authority to USE Yahweh's name:

1. Because He is the "only begotten".

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 

2. He had the direct command of The Father.

John 10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Messiah had the authority to speak the name Yahweh, which would condemn Him to death for blasphemy, and He had the authority be resurrected in the name Yahweh!

Yet it is the rejection of His resurrected name by the Pharisees that caused the alteration in the New Testament, which is exactly what happened!

Acts 4:16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
 17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. 18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of YahwehShua.

It is clear that the carnal minded religious establishment could not distinguish the difference between Messiah's resurrected name and His prophetic human name -

Peter and John refused to compromise!

Acts 4:19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of Elohiym to hearken unto you more than unto Elohiym, judge ye. 20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
 21 So when they [the religious establishment] had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified Elohiym [Yahweh] for that which was done.

The carnal minded religious establishment didn't give up, but kept trying to silence Messiah's resurrected name.

Acts 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

The truth is that Messiah's resurrected is not the name of flesh and blood, so not a man's name. 

Modern religion is exactly like the religious establishment of Messiah's day! They are against His resurrected name - YahwehShua!

So we have to ask: if His prophetic human name was so great, why does Torah say that it was to be blotted out? Who's blood atoned for sin? 

The truth is that the blood-sacrifice cannot be identified without His name! And that means that His human name could not be the name of salvation! Many deny Torah [Deu 29:20] when they say that His human name is the name of salvation! Why? Because it is the name that is defiled with (our) sins and iniquities. He had to have a NEW NAME!

YahwehShua

His resurrected name is the Name of Inheritance!

Hebrews 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent namethan they.

"By inheritance" means through death!

Hebrews 9: 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

So the name of salvation could not be his birth name!

YAHWEH is the excellent name!

Psalm 148:13 Let them praise the name of YAHWEH: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. [+Ps 8:9]

Messiah was raised in YAHWEH'S Name!

Psalm 89:24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name [Yahweh] shall his horn[power] be exalted [raised/resurrected].

The Apostle Paul confirms:

Romans 1:4 And declared to be the Son of Yahweh with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

"By the resurrection from the dead"! Not His human birth!

Eph 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Messiah, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

He is Yahweh our Savior: YahwehShua!

Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith Yahweh, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to Yahweh.

Isaiah 45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I YAHWEH? and there is no MightyOne else beside me; a just MightyOne and a Saviour; there is none beside me. 22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am (the) MightyOne, and there is none else. 23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

So Paul writes to the Philippians:

Phi 2:9 Wherefore Yahweh also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of YahwehShua every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that YahwehShua Messiah is Sovereign, to the glory of Yahweh the Father.

"That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him." -John 5:23

In addition, we should keep in mind that Messiah said that no man has ever seen or heard The Father, which means the Yahweh of the Hebrew scriptures is the same One that emptied Himself of His inherent power and headship to become our Redeemer and Savior!

That is His resurrected name that He INHERITED - YahwehShua!

And that makes His resurrected name the name of FAITH! 

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Why? Because it was removed from scripture:

Jeremiah 11:19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.

His prophetic human name, Yah'shua [Ihsou-] was ALWAYS in the scripture [translations, notwithstanding!].

What name was removed? His resurrected name!

How so?

YahwehShua has 7 letters [יהוהשוע]

Yah'shua has six letters [יהו  שוע]

The removal of a single letter, the second [ה] from [יהוהשוע] YahwehShua changes it and becomes [יהו  שוע] Yah'shua, the name of the blood-sacrifice, the blotted-out name!

This is where the confusion comes in. Deleting the 2nd [ה] "hey" from the name YahwehShua is the only way Jeremiah 11:19 could be fulfilled while letting the name "Yah'shua" remain in the texts, so there would be absolutely no distinction between His resurrected name and His prophetic human name. That would subsequently be transliterated as His prophetic human name [Yah'shua/Ihsou] throughout the texts, then corrupted even further by the Latin IESOU which was used as the English base for Jesus/Yeshua. So Satan has deceived the whole world into believing that salvation is in the name of a man!

New Testament Usage of the name in mikveh [immersion] shows that there was only one name, the name of The Son, which also contained the full name of The Father.

Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Sovereign YahwehShua.

Now look at this powerful statement:

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.

Many men had "Yah" as part of their name [Abiah, Aphiah, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Yah'shua (son of Nun) etc.], but none ever incorporated the full tetragram! However, Peter declares that the name of the resurrected Son is absolutely unique! "None other name under heaven"! No man ever bore the full tetragram [יהוה], the name YAHWEH, except Messiah at His resurrection! This also reveals that "Yah" is not the name of salvation. Only the full name, [יהוה] Yahweh applies! Plus, it is a requirement for the High Priest! [http://kahalyahweh.net/Articles/HighPriest-Name.htm]

Do you want to be in the 1st resurrection? If you do, then isn’t it time to do mikveh [immersion] into YahwehShua Messiah?

You will be hated for His name’s sake! Do you have the courage?
