What is the name above every name?

Which Messiah do you follow?

It appears that the Messiah of Christendom is presented as a rather weak man. If one listens to a Christian, this Jesus does not seem to have any gumption whatsoever. This picture does not measure up with the Messiah of Elohim” (‘G-d’) as described in the Word of Elohim. Sadly, many in Christendom have no desire to search for, and follow the real Messiah, for this will mean, having to live according his (one who is from the House Judah, a Hebrew) teaching and commandments! “You are my friends if you do what I command.” John 15:14.

It also seems that the “Jesus of the Christian church” makes few demands, as he allows his followers to worship on the day (chosen by Emperor Constantine - in opposition of the early faithful - as the “Day of the venerable sun god” –“ Mithra”) called - SUNday. If you listen to the Churches, this same Christian messiah allows pagan festivals to be freely celebrated, and he must be happy for his followers to live according to the “traditions of man,” without having to live according the Word of Elohim as written in the “The books of Messiah” (the New Testament), let alone that “outdated, of no effect Old Testament” as it is claimed by so many christians.

What is the name above all names?

Every Sunday Christians go to Church to worship “Jesus Christ,” but who is he? Is “Jesus” a Hebrew name? Has there ever been a single Hebrew (Jewish) with the name of “Jesus” in Ha Davar Elohim (the Word of ‘G-d’).

In 1999, one of our brothers was clearly told, during a luncheon hosted by a noted Baptist pastor in Sydney (a man with many titles and degrees) that “Jesus was a Christian, NOT a Jew!”

Well, dear Pastor may I suggest the following …

A … our Messiah was born a Hebrew City, named by king “David,” - “Beth’Le’chem” (House of Bread)

B ... Messiah was of the “Tribe of Judah, of the stem of Jesse.” Surprise !!!

Messiah was a Hebrew. All this just proves that men with many degrees often have their minds filled with the psychology, knowledge, and the garbage of the world (the flesh), simply cannot see the blessed truth of the Word of Elohim, yet they are the teachers of your faith!

In relation to the question, “is Jesus a Hebrew name,” the answer is an absolute NO, for it is NOT found anywhere in the Word of Elohim! However, the Messiah accepted by the faithful of Israel, knew him by the name, which, YHVH Elohim gave him.

In translations of “The Books of Messiah” - (‘Brit Chadashah,’ generally called the ‘New Testament’) we note that Ha Mashiach (the Messiah) is named “Jesus,” which we are told is a direct translation from the Greek “Iesous.” Most of us will know that “Jesus” is supposed to mean, “Yah will save.” Now, if we check the Messiah’s actual Hebrew name, which is Yahoshua,” we can see that his name means just that in the Hebrew. “Yah” stands for the four letter (tetragrammaton) Name of Elohim, which is “YHVH” - “YaHVaH.” “Shua” means “Salvation,” or “Save.”

The word “Save” in Greek is “Soter,” and “Salvare” in Latin.

“Therefore Elohim exalted him (the Messiah) to the highest place, and gave him the name that is above every name - that at the name of YahoShua every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that YahoShua the Messiah is Lord, to the glory of Elohim the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11.

Before we go on, we also need to ask, why have the translators changed a name anyway? Whenever I travel the world, I am introduced as “Reuben” in every country, and it is not changed or altered in any way what so ever! Without doubt, words from the Hebrew, or Greek need to be translated, in order for us to understand their meaning, however, names should, no must remain in the original (or as close as possible), no matter the language! Has anyone changed my name to “Ben” “Robert,” or “Bob” for the sake of making it sound English? Certainly not, it would be an offence to do so. Let’s face it, whilst “Gorbachov,” was the premier of Russia, his name was not changed to “Gordon” in the news, nor by the president of the United States. Therefore, why change “the name above all names” to something totally different, which has no relevance to the original?

There must have been a reason!

Encyclopaedias agree that the name of the Messiah is the same name as another great man in the Word of Elohim. This is that faithful servant who took over the reigns from Moshe (Moses) - yes, it is “Joshua.” You will note that in Acts chapter 7, and in Hebrews chapter 4 that both the names of “Messiah” and “Joshua” are written in the Greek as “IESOUS.” In the Greek Septuagint (translated 300 years before Messiah), Joshua is also written as IESOUS. However, look in any translated version of the Word of Elohim, you will find that both Messiah, and he who led Israel back into the promised land, have identical names in Hebrew, and in Greek. Sadly, today we know them by two very different names.

Translators left the name of “Joshua,” as close as possible to his original Hebrew name, which is “YahoShua.” This proves that they knew the actual name, whereas the wonderful “Son of Elohim” received another name, being a foreign and a pagan name. This new name was in no way associated, or related to the name given to Messiah by his heavenly Father!

“Brother, did I hear you say that Jesus is a pagan name?” Yes you did! Let me explain …

“IESOUS” somehow has become Jesus, Jesu, Jezus etc – Ie has the sound yeh,” which is related to a Greek “Hail,” and sous or sus actually means “Zeus.” The same applies to names of Greek cities such as, Tarsus” (meaning the sweat of Zeus), and Ephesus,” etc.

According to the “Dictionary of Christian Lore and Legend” by J. C. J. Melford, page 126 it states …

“It is known that the Greek name endings with sus, seus, and sous (which are phonetic pronunciations for Zeus) were attached by the Greeks to names and geographical areas as means to give honour to their supreme deity, Zeus. Examples are “Parnassus, a sacred mountain in Greece; a Greek deity of wine and son of Zeus, Dionysus: the Greek hero of the Trojan War was Odysseus, and the Greek deity of healing was Ieusues (which is a variant spelling of Iesous / Jesus).

The sad fact is, “Jesus” has no meaning whatsoever related to his Hebrew name. In this we clearly see, that the priesthood and followers of the Church of Babylonian Rome have done much to lead the world far away from the truth of YHVH’s Word! There has been a great conspiracy by the adversaries of Elohim, including by many so-called Christians.

Pagans, like emperor Constantine, who imposed pagan customs, pagan days of worship, and pagan feasts into a new faith called “Christianity.” Constantine who hated the Hebrews, and the Messianic followers of the true Messiah YahoShua, spoke out against those who upheld the truth, and called them “Judaizers.” This word was coined by him, for it is not found in original the Word of Elohim. Today, most translations use this derogatory term, which was invented by Constantine. Another idiom arrived in today’s “New Testament, is the word “the Jew.” This term did not exist at the time of writing the “Books of the Messiah” and was added during the middle age as a general usage, as there was a great hatred of the People of Israel throughout Europe. The French coined the phrase “LeJuive” as a term of hatred, which translates to, “the Jews.” This phrase was added in the Christian New Testament. “The Jews” in the Word should be read as “Judean’s” being, “the House of Judah,” for Messiah preached throughout Judah, and he was a Judean, not a JEW!

The question arises, “Do you worship a false messiah who is called “a hail” to  Zeus” by the enemy who has Christianised paganism?” Or, do you love, believe, and worship the Almighty Elohim of all Creation, who has given us His “Memorial Name - YHVH - Yahvah,” and His anointed one, YahoShua?”

YahoShua said, “Ask in MY NAME.” Thus, names are important! You better ask yourself “whom do I serve?” Beloved, please, rid yourself of the “traditions of men,” which YHVH Elohim abhors!

True Messianic believers (those who came from the Children of Israel, and those out of the Gentiles, are now ONE in the Messiah) oppose “the traditions of men” found in the pagan influenced church. Our love and aim is to only follow the blessed Word of Elohim, as the early faithful in Messiah did back in the days of the apostles, prior to heresy having entered into that, which today is called “Christianity”- “the Church!”

Please pray about these things, ask YHVH Elohim, in the name of YahoShua for discernment and understanding regarding all these things.

Get back to the Word – Get back to Elohim (our Creator) – Get back to YahoShua! The Messiah!

We are well aware, that this message will have our email box flooded by those who will attack us regarding this study, with statements such as … “Well, he knows who we are speaking about!” … “Jesus, Yesu, Jezus, what’s the difference?” Beloved, there is a great difference. Ask yourself the simply question, why was he who led the Children of Israel into the promised land called Joshua in the Word, and why did he who had the very same name end up “Jesus?”

“And whoever welcomes a little child like this in MY NAME welcomes me.” Mattiyahu (Matthew) 18:5.

“I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in MY NAME, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in MY NAME, and I will do it. If you love me, you will obey my commandments. Yochannan (John) 14:12-15.

“You shall love YaHVaH your Elohim with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your being.” Deuteronomy 6:5 - Mattiyahu (Matthew) 22:37.

If we love YahoShua, and accept him as our Messiah in whom we may have life eternal, then we must cast out all the traditions that men over many centuries have polluted the Church with.

Let us return (return = shuv = repent) again to the faith, which was upheld by Kepha (Peter), Sha’ul (Paul), and all the apostles who followed the example left by YahoShua our Messiah.

“For to this you were called, because the Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example” 1 Peter 2:21.

In the freedom YHVH Elohim has given us, we have to choose between good and evil, eternal life in the Kingdom of Elohim, or not. This is your choice now. Our heavenly Father, blessed be His Name, has given us His truth, by the means of His Word!

“Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of Elohim? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Messiah.” Galatians 1:10.
