INTRODUCTION:

The Creator of all things, has a personal name, and that name, in the original languages of the bible, is YAHWEH.

However, when you look in today's English versions of the bible, the name YAHWEH can't be found in most of them. The personal name of the Creator, YAHWEH, was written in the original languages of the bible over 6,000 times, but in just about all of today's many English versions, the name YAHWEH has been secretly removed!

Now is not the time for me to prove exactly who removed YAHWEH's name from scriptures, when they did this, and why. I will reveal the truth about this at a later date.

However, not long ago, a very small handful of scholars have gained the courage to start replacing YAHWEH's name in about 5 or 6 of their newer English versions of the bible.

Even so, many other scholars say that putting the name YAHWEH in the English bibles could be a mistake because the Creator's true name has been lost after so many centuries of non-use.

These scholars claim that there is no indisputable proof that the name was ever pronounced YAHWEH and therefore should not be put in their English bibles.

Regardless, because of these and other controversies concerning the true pronunciation and spelling of the Creator's name, scholars are divided into several groups. And they are disputing each other's claims of what the correct name for the Creator is.

The two main groups are those that say the Creator's name is Jehovah and those that say it's YAHWEH.

When I first heard about the Jehovah-YAHWEH controversy, and did a brief study of it, I quickly realized that Jehovah is not the Creator's name. In fact, it's not even similar to the sacred name. This left me shocked!

The reason why is because I am dedicated to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. And, for me to find out that I was deceived concerning the first and most important thing a person should learn about truth - the Creator's name, left me spiritually devastated and angry!

Then, I realized that I had been a fool and did not know the truth as much as I thought I did.

When it dawned on me that, for years, I was teaching people that Jehovah was the true name of the Creator, and causing them to believe in it, and that, I was really lying and leading them and myself astray, with out me realizing it, I decided to launch my own investigation into what the Creator's true name is.

I took this research extremely serious because I wanted to find the indisputable proof of the Creator's true name and present it to people.

I knew it was out there, some where, and that a person did not have to be a scholar to find it. I knew that anyone could find it if they persistently searched through all the scholarly arguments and did a little research of their own.

It immediately became clear to me that the key to me finding the indisputable proof of the Creator's true and original name was for me to learn the alphabet of of the Hebrew language. So, I learned it's as quickly as I could, and afterwards, I started my own research.

I conducted my research at the various college and public libraries in every city I found myself in over the years. I still do it today, and I will never stop my research. It's a life-long endeavor for me. No one will ever trick me like that again!

I spent a lot of money copying all the references I found. I wanted to have the proof in my possession so I could show it to others and save them from having to go through all the hard work I was conducting. As a result of all this copying, I've amassed a large amount of references. I knew that it would be only a few of them that would shed any real light. Regardless, I copied all references I came across and have them categorized in my own library.

As you can see, I took it very personal that I had been deceived, and as a result, I was deceiving others, without realizing it.

Becaue of this, I was determined to get to the truth!

When I got to a library, I went straight to the religious department and asked the librarian where all their biblical and regular dictionaries, encyclopedias, and commentaries were located?

The first thing I looked up, in them, was the name "Jehovah". I was shocked at what biblical scholars said about it. Then, I looked up the name "YAHWEH", and the "Tetragrammaton", to see what else was said I needed to know.

Immediately upon launching my research, I was utterly stunned when I saw that, in just about all references, scholars were easily proving that the name Jehovah was clearly wrong and that YAHWEH was the true name of the Creator. In fact, the name Jehovah didn't stand a chance for consideration!

The following are some of the facts I discovered in my research on the sacred name.

.....................................................

TETRAGRAMMATON:

As I began reading through the references I ran across in the libraries, I quickly noticed the words "TETRAGRAMMATON" and "TETRAGRAM."

In both the ancient and modern Hebrew languages, the Creator's name was spelled with 4 letters. These 4 letters were called the Tetragrammaton or simply Tetragram by early European, Christian translators of the bible.

Tetragrammaton is a Greek word. "Tetra" means "four" and "gramma" means "letters". Thus, tetragrammaton or Tetragram means "four lettered word" or "word of four letters."

These four Hebrew letters, of the Creator's name, were transliterated into English as "YHWH" by Christians.

.....................................................

CONSONANT VOWELS:

After several years of conducting my research and collecting data, it dawned on me that I was researching the writings of European Christian scholars on their views of the Hebrew language of the Jews. Then, it became clear to me that I should also research the writings of the modern day White Jewish scholars and experts.

When I did that, it was made clear that the European Christian scholars were wrong when they concluded that since there was no undisputed proof of the Creator's name, the name YAHWEH should not be put in their newer English versions. On the contrary, I was blessed by the magnificent YAHWEH to know that, His name should be put back in the sacred writings.

For several years of my research, I knew that scholars claimed that, originally, the Hebrew language had no vowels. I noticed that some scholars estimated that vowel points were added to Hebrew letters about 700 AD. Others say this happened in 800-1000 AD. Regardless, it was clear to me that the vowel points of alternate names of Satan (Adony and Elohim) were wrongly placed in with the four letters of the name of the Creator. And, it was this mixture produced the wrong name Jehovah. Now is not the time for me to go into details of this. However, I will in a later study.

For now, let's stick with the present line of reasoning. Where the indisputed proof comes in, which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the Creator's true name is YAHWEH and not Jehovah is as follows.

As I said, Christian scholars say that the Hebrew language had no vowels. However, I was blessed by YAHWEH to find information that proved the scholars were wrong, and that the Hebrew language did, in fact, have vowels!

I was stunned at how, just about all Christian scholars did not know this. Wow! It blew me away to know that the most holy and wonderful YAHWEH had blessed me to know what most scholars of Christiandom did not know.

What was shown to me was that both the ancient and modern Hebrew languages had consonants that functioned both as consonants and as vowels. Herein lies the great secret to finding out the Creator's name.

I found this startling information in a book I was blessed to come across titled: "THE MEMORIAL NAME - YAHWEH" by Jacob O. Meyer. When I read it, I was shocked when I found the indisputable proof I was looking for all those years. In the book, Meyer proved that the Tetragram (the four letters in the Creator's name) was to be spoken as vowels and not consonants.

In fact, as you continue to read, you'll see that whenever the Tetragrammaton is spoken as vowels, you'll find yourself actually saying the name YAHWEH!

According to Meyer, in the book of "Josephus" is where this proof is found. From my early years of research I always had a copy of the complete works of Josephus, that consists of several books he wrote, and I suggest you purchase one for yourself.

Josephus was a commander of the armies of the Israelites when they fought against the Roman invasion of the land of Israel in 70 AD. He was also a descendant of the priestly bloodline.

Meyer showed where, in the writings of Josephus, was proof that the Tetragram was to be spoken as vowels. So, I turned to the quote Meyer used. It's found in Josephus' work: "The Wars Of The Jews" book 5 (which describes our Temple of YAHWEH and our high priest) chapter 5, section 7, subsection 235.

In it, Josephus stated, when describing the attire of our high priest who wore the Creator's sacred name on his turban that:

"A MITRE [TURBAN] ALSO OF FINE LINEN ENCOMPASSED HIS HEAD, WHICH THERE WAS ANOTHER GOLDEN CROWN, IN WHICH WAS GRAVEN THE SACRED NAME. IT CONSISTED OF FOUR VOWELS".

Here you see where Josephus makes it clear that the Hebrew language did have vowels. Even so, most Christian scholars today claim that Josephus was wrong because the Hebrew did not have vowels!

Well, Josephus, being of a priestly family of the Israelite people, was in more of a position to know if the Creator's name was to be spoken as vowels or not. And, being the learned man he was, he definitely knew the difference between vowels and a consonants.

But the question was, what are the correct sounds of the vowel letters of the Creator's true name?

Once again, Jacob Meyer, on page 83 in his book: "THE MEMORIAL NAME - YAHWEH", gave me the understanding of how to correctly pronounce those vowels letters (YHWH).

He stated: "The [Y] is the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet and has the vowel sound of a long I (pronounced like a long E as in the word machine). The [H] has the vowel sound of an A, (aw or ah). The [W] has the vowel sound of a long U [as in the sound of the double O's like those in the word zoo]. The [H] standing at the end of a masculine name has the vowel sound of short E [as in cafe]." Meyers goes on to say: "Now if we combine these letters we have the English word in the letters IAUE [pronounced E'-AH-OO-EY]. Pronounce them slowly and then rapidly. You will discover you are saying YAHWEH!"

I double checked Meyer's teachings by going to libraries and researching books on Hebrew grammar written by the modern day White Jewish converts to our religion. In doing so, I found that, once again, Meyer was correct concerning the vowel sounds of the Hebrew letters that make up the Tetragram. Now, it's clear to me that, there are two ways to translate the Tetragrammaton (YHWH and IAUE).

The consonant translation is YHWH and has no recognizable sound.

However, the vowel translation is IAUE and its sound is clearly recognized as YAHWEH.

It appears that the early European Christians did not know about the vowel translation of the Creator's name and as a result, created the wrong word (Jehovah) in their English translations of the bible.

After many years of searching for the indisputable proof concerning the Creator's true name, the benevolent and gracious YAHWEH led me to this man's book. And, as a result, I now have found the indisputable proof I've been searching for! Let only YAHWEH be praised! Praise YAHWEH!!

.....................................................

THREE SYLLABLES VERSES TWO SYLLABLES:

One thing I noticed, that Meyer did not mention, was that when the Tetragrammaton is spoken as vowels, the pronunciations of two syllables are heard in the Creator's name. But, Jehovah has three syllables.

The two syllables are written as IA-UE. The IA (pronounced as a long E' and AH) combines to form the first syllable E-AH or YAH. The UE (pronounced as a long U with the sound of the double OO's in the word zoo) and the short E (with the sound of the E in cafe) combines to form the second syllable OO-EY or WEH.

Now, we see that the vowel sound of the Tetragram (IAUE) represents two syllables (IA-UE or YAH-WEH).

These two syllables are written as consonants as YH-WH. All this makes it clear that YAHWEH has more pretense to be right, in that, the Creator's name has two syllables.

But, Jehovah is obviously wrong because it has 3 syllables (Je-ho-vah) and is no where close to the truth.

......................................................

JE VERSES YAH:

Now, consider the first syllable of the word Jehovah (Je).

When you research, like I did, you'll find that the first syllable of the Creator's name is found in personal names and other words used by the Israelites.

Consider the name of the prophet Isaiah.

His name was mistranslated in English, and very few people know it. Based on the Hebrew language his name was written in, our father's name should be translated Isayah and not Isaiah. In English, the letters I and Y are sometimes interchangeable. In the case of the English translation Isaiah, the translators used the wrong letter to spell his name. They should have used a Y instead of the second I in their name for Him. This is the reason why when you say Isaiah, you'll hear yourself saying YAH in the last syllable.

If Jehovah is the correct name of the Creator, then Isaiah's name would have been spelled Isaje, as in Je-hovah. But it's not Isaje; it's Isaiah (more correctly Isayah).

The first syllable of the Creator's name (YAH) is found in many personal name's of the Israelites.

Consider the following biblical names with their correct English translations:

Jeremiah - Yeremyah

Michaiah - Michayah

Zechariah - Zecharyah

Nehemiah - Nehemyah

As far as the first syllable of the Creator's name being used in Hebrew words is concerned, consider the word "hallelujah". It means "Praise you YAH! Even though the last syllable of hallelujah is jah, when you pronounce the word, you're really saying "yah", as in YAH-WEH, instead.

If Jehovah is the Creator's true name, the word hallelujah would have been translated halleluje as in Je-hovah. It's not halleluje; it's hallelujah (more correctly halleluyah).

Also, if Jehovah is right, the meaning of hallelujah would be "praise you Je!" Regardless, it's meaning is not "praise you Je!" It means "praise you YAH", as in YAH-WEH. Now, it should be clear that Jehovah is wrong, in that the first syllable of the Creator's name is YAH and not Je.

.....................................................

Dear list, I rejoice so deeply in my heart because I had been blessed to find the true name of the Creator of all things. Now, I know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, what the original and true name of the Creator, who created the universe and everything in it.

Words can not express how happy I am to know that the Creator's correct personal name is YAHWEH.

It is the greatest discovery of my life!

And, believe you me when I tell you that I am going to make sure that as many people as possible will also know the Creator's name.

In my next release, I will reveal part two of this study.

Yours In The Love Of The Most Holy And Wonderful YAHWEH,

Prophet Yahweh
Seer of Yahweh
