Exodus 20:7 "Thou shalt not take the name of YHWH thy Elohim in vain; for YHWH will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."

This is probably one of the most misunderstood commandments in our day and time for several reasons. Another translation of this scripture might be a bit more revealing. The following is from the Halleluyah Scriptures, a set of scriptures restored from the Restored King James version, and then taken a step further for more accurate translation and the removal of names and titles that stem from pagan origin. Exodus 20:7; "You do not bring the Name of your Elohim to naught, for does not leave the one unpunished who brings His Name to naught." Naught, guess what that means. According to the Mirriam-Webster Dictionary; Definition of NAUGHT: nothing (efforts came to naught). So in other words, bring His name to mean nothing.

Now comes the big question. Do you really know His name? I’ve been using it quite often in the first two chapters. What you see above in the scripture quote from the Halleluyah Scriptures in reference to His Name is the actual Ghabaray Hebrew spelling of His Name, when transliterated means YHWH, or it is pronounced as Yahuwah. Many of those that seek Him only know Him by the TITLES given to them by the Biblical translation they have, and not by His Name. His Name is not God, or Lord, as those are simply titles which when they are corrected are meaning Elohim and Master. The title "god" is in reference to other false mighty ones, and capitalizing it does nothing, because that title still comes from a title created in pagan origin. Basically all you are doing is calling on the "God of the gods", and there is only one "God of the gods" for this world, be it the "God" of this world, which we already know is Lucifer, or the "God of the gods" for the Greek, which is Zeus. Now try saying that name you know as your Savior, Jesus, in the Spanish language and you will hear who you are calling on, as it sounds exactly like "hey-Zeus". More explaining where these use of titles and names came from later in this chapter, but first, let’s take a look at what the Word of Yahuwah says about this.

To start this off, let’s bring your attention to the word HalleluYah, which is a correct transliteration of the word from Ghabaray Hebrew to English. Ghabaray Hebrew is what the first covenant was written in, and is the preferred translation that all scripture should be transliterated or translated from, not Greek (more about this later). This word HalleluYah bears the name of the Father, because it’s not just a single word. Translated, it means "praise you Yah" or "praise to Yah" Now, how is it possible we could have missed that? Deception is the oldest trick in the book, and was the first means used by Satan to cause man to commit sin. The creeping deception that has entered into minds and hearts of people is what has caused them to fall away from the truth, and adhere to false doctrines, and the commandments of men, rather than that which is truth from the Word of Yahuwah. Part of that can directly be attributed to the Greek transliteration or translation of the original language, which was Ghabaray Hebrew. It’s not that hard to figure out when you realize the "God of gods" for the Greek is Zeus, and you really begin to look at the transliterated or translated meaning differences between Ghabaray Hebrew and Greek as shown in Strong’s Concordance or otherwise.

In Ghabaray Hebrew, all names have a meaning, but when translated or transliterated to Greek that is not always so, as Greek names don’t always have a meaning to the name. This is one of the first clues to look at when you start looking for the meaning of the names as used by the Greek. One other thing to consider is the fact that the Jews spoke Hebrew, and not Greek for the most part, including all 12 of the disciples, as most were unlearned in Greek, being simple fishermen and such. Even Paul had a problem trying to speak Greek, much less try to write it. Take the time for yourself to really search the Ghabaray Hebrew language to find the truth of what was written, not just for the 1st Covenant, but also the second, and then you will gain better understanding, or make it simple for yourself and get the HalleluYah Scriptures, or at the very least, the Restored Kind James version. I use them both, as I cannot seem to find the HalleluYah Scriptures in digital format for my digital Bibles as a reference. I think that has something to do with "copyright issues", but who owns the "copyright" to the Word of Yahuwah? Yahuwah only. He has also stated within His Word, freely as you receive, freely give. That is another reason this document, or book is not allowed to be sold, and may only be given free of charge.

So, now we have seen there is a names and tiles problem at the very least in the Greek rendition of the Second Covenant, but where or why were the names changed? First, let’s look into the scriptures themselves...

Exodus 3:15 "And Elohim said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, YHWH Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations."

Exodus 23:13 "And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other elohim, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth."

Lev 19:12 "And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy Elohim: I am YHWH."

Lev 22:2 "Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the qodesh things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my setapart name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am YHWH."

Deut 18:20 "But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other elohim, even that prophet shall die."

Joshua 23:6-7 "Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom [to] the right hand or [to] the left; That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their elohim, nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:"

Isaiah 8:11-20 "For YHWH spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify YHWH of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. And I will wait upon YHWH, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. Behold, I and the children whom YHWH hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from YHWH of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their Elohim? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."

Isaiah 44:6 "Thus saith YHWH the King of Israel, and his redeemer YHWH of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no Elohim."

Isaiah 48:8-11 "Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb. For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off. Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another."

Isaiah 52:5 "Now therefore, what have I here, saith YHWH, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith YHWH; and my name continually every day is blasphemed."

Jeremiah 16:21 "Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is YHWH."

Jeremiah 23:5-6 "Behold, the days come, saith YHWH, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, YHWH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS."

Jeremiah 23:20-27 "The anger of YHWH shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. Am I an Elohim at hand, saith YHWH, and not an Elohim afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith YHWH. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith YHWH. I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal."

Hosea 2:16-17 "And it shall be at that day, saith YHWH, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali. For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name."

Zecharaiah 13:8-9 "And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith YHWH, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, YHWH is my Elohim."

Psalms 44:20-21 "If we have forgotten the name of our Elohim, or stretched out our hands to a strange el; Shall not Elohim search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart."

Proverbs. 30:4 "Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?"

Romans 2:24 "For the name of YHWH is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written."

Romans 9:17 "For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth."

Now I could go on and on about what Yah says about His Name, and even what Yahusha says about the Name of the Father, and even His own name, but I think after just these many different biblical scripture quotes you can get the general picture. The ironic thing here is the Proverbs 30:4 and Romans 2:24 quotes I listed as they point to something that has been going on for a very long time. The religious leaders of the Jews, otherwise known as the Sanhedrin has a specific "rule" or "commandment of men" in their religious rule book, which is known as the Talmud. Only the High Preists were allowed to speak the name of Yahuwah, and only at high religious days they observed, within the sanctuary. They went even farther with this rule that only Jews were allowed to speak the name of Yahuwah, or suffer punishment by death. That rule still exists, and is part of the noahide laws, which are a set of laws that appear to attempt to replace the Ten Commandments of Yahuwah with only 7 laws or rules. Part of that also seems to include the idea that only Jews are allowed to study Torah. The noahide laws are actually on the books in many countries already, but not yet being strictly enforced, but likely to start being enforced sometime in the near future, for those who know how to read the signs of the times.

This is the deception that has been done, in that in most versions of the Word of YHWH, the very name of Yahuwah or YHWH has been replaced with titles such as "God", and Lord because they claim the Name of Yahuwah is too sacred to be spoken except by High Priests at high religious times within the sanctuary, or at the very least, by Jews only. This is why most people only seem to think of His name as "God", Lord, or I AM. As you can see from the quotes above, He very clearly states what His name is, and that is His name forever, and that Name is YHWH, which is pronounced as Yahuwah.

Now this may be somewhat controversial, but looking in the book of Enoch, we find that the name of the third devil, which is also appearing to be Satan himself, has another name not commonly known... Gadreel. Just like we might say the name of Yah in short for Yahuwah, the name of Gad in short for Gadreel sounds exactly like the "title" we know as "God". What was mentioned before? Who’s the "God" of this world? In like manner, the mention of Jesus sounding like "hey-zeus", we find that the Greek translation or transliteration of that name in the original KJV 1611 is Iesous, which according to a recent Google search, reveals that as meaning "healing zeus" (Iesus, and Iesous) which are pagan in origin, and literally translated means "Hail Zeus". Keep in mind that the letter J has only existed for approximately 400 years, and that is definitely not old enough to be part of the real name of our Messiah, translation or transliteration aside. Besides, when is the last time you saw anyone of great importance have his name spoken differently or translated to the language of another country?

Here’s something else to take note of, in that along with the Ghabaray Hebrew names having meaning to them, many also had the name Yah in their name, or a variation of that such as the name El, and Shua. Many of the names we know today that have been transliterated or translated were actually names bearing parts of His name, or like-minded meanings. Just to name a few and their meanings; Joshua=Yahoshua (Yah is Salvation), Samuel=Shemuel (Heard of El), Isaiah=Yeshayahu (Salvation of Yah), Jeremiah=Yiremeyahu (Exultationo of Yah), Ezekiel=Yehezqel (Strength of El), Daniel (Judgement of El), Hosea=Hoshea (Salvation), Obadiah=Obadyah (Servant of Yah). I am with the hope when I am given my new name it will be of such magnitude as these, bearing His name within mine. For even as Yahuwah is in Yahusha, and Yahusha is in Yahuwah, I desire to be the same as a brother to Yahusha in His Kingdom, within the family of Yah, and His child.

If you really want to know Him, and the truth, you have to do the research yourself, and seek Him for yourself. Do not trust what me or anyone else tells you, but only His way, which is to reprove all things according to His Word, and make sure that it is really His Word, and not some messed up translation or transliteration. We are only the messengers, pointing the way. It is you who has to choose to receive the light given or reject it. If you truly seek to know Him, the qodesh Spirit of Yahuwah will reveal to you as it is according to the will of Yahuwah. You will know what the truth really is as it is given and reproved according to His Word. I personally believe this is part of the final message to be given during these last days as the times of great trouble in the world unfolds.
