News — THE LIGHT OF YAHWEHShua

Yahshua Reconciles; YahwehShua Saves

We are reconciled by the Human Name of YAHSHUA,  But are saved by the Inherited Name, YAHWEHSHUA!

One of the greatest lies perpetrated by religionists is that a man’s name is the name of salvation.

Messiah warned us about this type of deception in Luke 11:52:  “Woe to you lawyers! For ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.”

The prophet Joel gave us the key of knowledge in Joel 2:32: “And it came to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yahweh shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Yahweh hath said, and in the remnant who Yahweh shall call.”

Peter quoted Joel in Acts 2: 21:  “and it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yahweh shall be saved.”

The apostle Paul is the third witness to the name of salvation in Romans 10:13:  “for whosoever shall call on the name of Yahweh shall be saved.”

The Yahweh all three referred to was Messiah. He was the Yahweh of the Old Testament. Paul, who learned directly from YahwehShua, teaches us this in first Corinthians 10:4:  “And did all[the Israelites with Moses] drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Messiah.”

Who was that rock that followed the Israelites while in the wilderness?

Please read Exodus 14 to learn more about this being. That being was Yahweh of Hosts, Yahweh Shalom, and later was known as YahwehShua.  For additional names, please see appendix four in the Companion Bible.  Messiah left that spiritual preexistence (John 17:5) and became incarnate with the name of the man, Yahshua. (Philippians 2:7-8)

Messiah in the flesh had been given the name Yahshua, (Matthew 1:21) and after his resurrection, he inherited a new spiritual name,YahwehShua. (Hebrews 1:4) Messiah was born of a woman and was under the old covenant law. (Galatians 4:4) He was therefore subject to Deuteronomy 29:20:

“Yahweh[the Father] 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.”

Because Messiah was under the law and never sinned, he could not avoid this penalty (Galatians 3: 13) when he died in our sin.  Because he became sin for all mankind, (2 Corinthians 5:21) his human name was defiled with ALL the sin of mankind. He could not appear before the Father with a defiled name.

His Father could not get near him as long as he had a defiled human name. This is why we are told this in Matthew 27:46: “and about the ninth hour Yahshua cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli Eli, lama sabachthani, that is to say, My El, My El, why hast thou forsaken me?  

Up until that moment, the Father and his Son were one. (John 10:30)

But at the moment of his defilement, the Father left him, turning his back on him. This was predicted in Psalm 22:1:  “My El, My El, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?”

This was a very dark moment for Messiah. He knew it was coming, which was why he had such a strong emotional reaction when he was praying in the garden of Gethsemane. His emotional pain that he experienced at that time was manifested physically in his perspiration mixed with blood. (Luke 22:44)  He went through all of this for us!

We must understand the difference between his human name and his inherited name. False teachers will try to deceive you by saying his human name was Jesus, Yahushua, or Yeshua. Yahshua is the correct rendering of Messiah’s human name, but it is NOT the name of salvation.

It was our high priest, YahwehShua, who appeared before Father Yahweh. (Zechariah 3) We have a pattern for this appearance in Exodus 28:36-38) The Levitical high priest was required to have the full Tetragrammaton on his forehead when he entered the holy of holies. This requirement was patterned after the order of Melchizedek. Messiah was the priest of that order who appeared to Abraham in Genesis 14.

The Levitical high priest was required to appear with the full name of Yahweh on his forehead. Failure to follow this scripture would result in his death. Notice in Revelation 14:1 that 144,000 firstfruits did have the name of the Father and his Son on their foreheads. The name of salvation on their foreheads is YahwehShua, Yahweh Savior. A man’s name would not have satisfied this scriptural requirement.

Messiah’s human name, Yahshua, is the correct translation of his Hebrew name. Even that name does not contain the full name of Yahweh, yod,hey, waw, hey. The name, Yahshua, has only a partial Tetragrammaton, yod, hey, and waw. The scripture is quite clear. Exodus 28:36 says, “Holiness to Yahweh“ and does not use a partial rendering of the great name of Yahweh. The name of salvation must contain all four letters of the Tetragrammaton. 

Any group or individual that teaches that the full name of Yahweh is not required is leading you astray. They are assuming the role of the lawyers in Luke 11:52 that Messiah warned us about. They are hiding the key of knowledge. 

The names of Jesus, Yeshua, or Y’shua do not have a linguistic link to the Tetragrammaton. Yet, there are those who still teach that these names can still be translated as Yahweh saves. That is a false understanding. Even the correct human name of Messiah, Yahshua, does not have a full linguistic link to the name Yahweh. His human name only contains the yod, hey, and waw, while the second hey is missing.  This means that Yahshua can only be translated as YAH saves and NOT YAHWEH SAVES.

Another problem is this. When the incarnate Messiah died, he had the name of Yahshua, YAH SAVES. That name was defiled and therefore blotted out as required by Deuteronomy 29:20. If that name could be correctly rendered as Yahweh, then the great name of Yahweh would be defiled and that is not possible. Yahweh’s name cannot be defiled. This is why Messiah was given a human name and human body.

To avoid the defilement of Yahweh in any way, Messiah was given a human body with the human name. That body and name were prepared for the sacrifice he was making. (Hebrews 10:5) This is just another example of how well Yahweh planned the process of salvation. We are told in Revelation 13:8 that the Messiah was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. The Father knew the end from the beginning. Nothing was left to chance.

Even though I’ve shown how Yahshua cannot be both the name of reconciliation and the name of salvation, many will still struggle with this. Yah is used about 46 times in the Old Testament. Yahweh is used nearly 7000 times. Yah is used about .6 % compared to the full Tetragrammaton. Yah is never called the savior. That distinction is only reserved for the full name of Yahweh.

Messiah was hung on a tree.  He was born of a woman and born under the law. It was only after he died that his blood was poured out. (John 19:33- 34) He died in sin, that is, he became sin. (2 Corinthians 5:21) His blood absorbed all the sin of mankind. He sacrificed his human life for us. His life was in the blood.  (Leviticus 17:11)  His human name, Yahshua, identifies that blood. It too became defiled by all that sin. That name had to be replaced before Messiah could appear before his Father.

Consider this message that Paul reveals to us in Romans 5:10:  “For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to Yahweh by the death of his son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” Paul continues in Colossians 1:20 with this insight into reconciliation:  “and having made peace through the blood of his beam, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth or things in heaven.”

Being reconciled means being acquitted of sin. This is a free gift not just for the firstfruits, but also for all mankind and angels. Reconciliation is not the same as salvation. Salvation refers to the inheritance of the kingdom. All beings are reconciled, but not all receive an inheritance. All mankind will receive age-abiding life. Once in the new heavens and earth, that age-abiding life will be transformed into actual deathlessness.

Reconciliation is not dependent on repentance. It is a free gift. Salvation is dependent on repentance, baptism and the receiving of the Holy Spirit of the Father. This is a significant difference between reconciliation and salvation. There is also a significant difference between the human name of Yahshua and the inherited name of faith, YahwehShua. They are not interchangeable. The human name was created to be defiled. The inherited name allows those called to be firstfruits to receive the Spirit of the Father so they can form the Spirit of Messiah. Without forming the full Spirit of Messiah, they cannot overcome and become one of the 144,000.

The name Yahshua cannot save, only reconcile. Only the name of YahwehShua leads to salvation. It is better to say that Yahshua reconciles the heavens and earth through his blood. Once Messiah accomplishes this reconciliation, the name, Yahshua, is blotted out. It offers no further benefit. 

The inherited name of YahwehShua must now accomplish salvation. You will not find the name of YahwehShua in the Scriptures. It is the name of faith and not sight. (Hebrews 11:1) We do find the name of Yahshua because it has nothing to do with salvation. Salvation is not a free gift and therefore requires acceptance of the Father’s invitation and then overcoming to the end. Only those being called by the Father have the name of faith revealed to them.

Those being called must free themselves from the limitations of the old covenant. They must truly embrace the new covenant. However, this can only occur through baptism in the name of YahwehShua and the forming of the Spirit of Messiah. It is Messiah in us that allows us to fully comprehend and embrace the new covenant.

The human name of Yahshua was the name associated with the blood sacrifice. This name was blotted out of the book of life, but is found in the Scriptures. The inherited name of YahwehShua, was blotted out in the Scriptures, but is found in the book of life. This name is revealed by the Father, not just discovered on one’s own. This is the name of life that can only be embraced by faith and not by sight. The name of Yahshua allows for reconciliation, but YahwehShua is the revealed name whereby we must be saved.

Yahshua represents flesh and blood. Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 15:50, “that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Yahweh.”The inherited name is the name of life that Messiah received after his resurrection to life. It is this name that we must have to have life in the better resurrection which then leads to our inheritance in the kingdom. 

Romans 5:10 can be better understood with this amplified translation:

“We were reconciled to Yahweh by the death of his son, [Yahshua]much more, being reconciled we shall be saved by his life.” (YAHWEHSHUA)

The name, Yahshua, was defiled with all human sin and according to Scripture was blotted out. This name was blotted out of heaven and no longer has relevance.  If you desire to have life in the better resurrection, the name of YahwehShua is what you should be seeking.

Yes, having the right name is of vast significance. If this is your invitation from the Father, consider our website carefully as well as our offer of assistance. Your decision will affect where you will be in the new heavens and earth. 

Remember, it is Yahweh Saves or Savior.  Accept NO substitute!

The devils believe Yahweh! WILL YOU?

James 2: 19:

“Thou believest that there is one Yahweh; thou doest well:  the devils also believe, and tremble.”

As James indicates, believing is good. But there is much more to it than just believing. Notice verse 20: “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?”

The Greek word for works is ergon, Strong’s number 2041. It means doing or making an effort. Faith without doing something or making an effort to demonstrate your faith is of no value. Words are cheap; action is everything!

In verse 19, the words believest and believe are derived from the same Greek word, pisteuo. (Strong’s 4100) This word is derived from the Greek word, pistis. (Strong’s 4102) Pistis is the basis for the word faith, used in verse 20. James is telling us that belief or faith is dead without action to support the words.

In verse 23, James tells us how Abraham believed, but in verse 21 Abraham proved his belief by offering his son upon an altar. His offer or willingness to offer his son was the effort that he put forward to support his words. It was his effort that made Yahweh to consider him righteous and call him his friend. The words came first, but it was the action that gained Yahweh’s attention. 

Abraham is considered the father of the Israelites. He is held in very high esteem. But note who was also introduced as a righteous person in verse 25. Rahab, the harlot was also justified by her works. Even though her station in life was very inferior to that of Abraham, her action to help the Israelites spies justified her in the eyes of Yahweh. 

Very few of us can achieve the stature of Abraham, but the actions of Rahab the harlot and the reaction of Yahweh can give us all hope. Paul confirms this in 1 Corinthians 1:26-27:

“For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.  Yahweh has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and Yahweh has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.” 

Many are called but few are chosen. (Matthew 20:16) The calling or invitation is not of value if not accepted. Revelation 14:1 tells us that only 144,000 firstfruits were called and overcame -- a very small number. What we don’t know is how many were called and then rejected the opportunity given to them. Either of these numbers is a very small percentage of firstfruits compared to the billions of human beings created.

How do we accept the calling or invitation that comes only from Father Yahweh? (John 6:44) We must do something.  We cannot just say we believe or have faith. We must demonstrate our faith with works or by doing something, taking action. (James 2:24) Peter tells us what that action must be in Acts 2:38:  “Then Peter said unto them, repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of ___________ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”[Spirit]

This verse is taken from the King James Version. The last word, ghost, is a poor choice for the Greek word pneuma (Strong’s 4151) which is better translated as Spirit.

I have left a blank space where the translators used another poor choice to translate the name in which we should be baptized. Peter is quoted to have used the name of a man, even though the Messiah was never known as Jesus. That name did not come into usage until the 16thcentury. His human name was a Hebrew name, Yahshua. Others will tell you that the human name Messiah could have been Yeshua, Yehoshua, or Y’shua. All these refer to a man’s name.

However, Messiah no longer had his human name when Peter gave us the instruction in Acts 2:38. Messiah was dead. He died in sin. (2 Corinthians 5:21) His blood absorbed all the sin of the world. His human name identified that blood and was therefore defiled. He had to have a new name before he appeared before his Father, Yahweh.

The Messiah appeared before his Father as a high priest. When Aaron, the Levitical high priest, appeared before Yahweh on the Day of Coverings (Atonement), he had to appear with the name of Yahweh on his forehead. (Exodus 29: 36- 38) Messiah would also have to have the name of Yahweh when he appeared before his Father.

The Messiah did have a new name given to him after his resurrection and before he appeared before his Father. The revelation of this amazing fact is revealed in Hebrews 1:4:  “Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name then they”.  That new name was very different than the name given when he was born as a human. (Matthew 1:25)

Can we know what this new name is? We MUST know this new name to be able to follow Peter’s instructions in Acts 2:38. There is no room for substitution or misunderstanding. A significant clue to this name is revealed in Revelation 14: 1. The 144,000 firstfruits that are successfully resurrected when Messiah returns have the name of the Father and Son on their foreheads. The Father’s name is Yahweh and the second part of Messiah’s human name was shua or savior. His inherited name is YahwehShua or Yahweh Savior.

It is interesting to note that Messiah’s human name, Yahshua, in Hebrew, has six letters: yod, hey, waw, sheen,waw ayin. The inherited name only needed to have the letter hey added to the human name: yod, hey, waw, HEY, sheen, waw, ayin. 

The difference between the six letters in Messiah’s human name and the seven letters of his inherited name is significant. I refer you to appendix 10 in the Companion Bible for more details on the significance of numbers. The Companion Bible tells us that the number six is the human number. The number seven denotes spiritual perfection. We must have the name of spiritual perfection for baptism, and NOT the defiled human name.

YahwehShua is not an unusual construction for the name of the Messiah. We learn from 1 Corinthians 10:4 that Messiah was the Yahweh of the Old Testament. In that role, he had many two-part or hyphenated names: Yahweh of Hosts, Yahweh Shalom, Yahweh Rapha, etc. Please refer to appendix 4 of the Companion Bible for further information about the names of Yahweh.

Messiah is quoted in Luke 11:52 as telling us that the key of knowledge was taken away. That key is and was the name of Yahweh. The Jews had declared that Yahweh’s name was ineffable and should not be pronounced. Substitutions such as Ha Shem and Adonai were made. This doctrine led to the Christians not understanding the name of Yahweh. They substituted LORD for the Hebrew Tetragrammaton. This is incorrect. You cannot understand the inherited name by only knowing LORD. You must refer to the Hebrew name and not the English translation. This lack of knowledge prevents you from obeying Peter’s instruction to be baptized in the inherited name.

I have reviewed many articles on the Internet and have seen commercials on TV, which promote the importance of believing in the human name of Messiah. These sources do not talk about the significance of baptism, but only the importance of believing. These authors emphasize the use of words and leave out the necessity for action. Baptism is a requirement, not an option. Many have been baptized, but only in the human name of Messiah.  This has led many people to receive a worthless baptism. 

I even found one author who proclaims that baptism was only necessary during the early years of what he called the Pentecostal period. He says this is no longer necessary in our age. His conception is that whosoever professes to be a believer is sealed and baptized in the Holy Spirit. This perspective does away with the act of water baptism and laying on of hands in the inherited name of YahwehShua. This leads many people to follow a great deception. Satan continues deceiving man as he deceived Eve in the garden. The difference is that today he has many “ministers of righteousness” to do his work. (2 Corinthians 11:15)

Satan and his angels know the truth of Yahweh, but do not want YOU to know. They desire you to be deceived so you will miss the opportunity to become a firstfruit in the better resurrection. They tremble, as James tells us, because they know their fate. The fallen angels face being judged and cast into the lake of fire, the second death. The firstfruits will never face the second death! (Revelation 20:6) That fact alone makes the fallen angels jealous and vengeful.

The fallen angels are awaiting their judgment and tremble, but, what about the firstfruits? Peter tells us, we, those who are the first fruits, are being judged now! He tells us this in 1 Peter 4:17:  “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of Yahweh: and if it first begins at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the Evangel of Yahweh.” 

The first resurrection is for the firstfruits. Being in that resurrection indicates that their judgment is successfully completed, and they will face no further judgment. In fact they will become judges themselves. (1 Corinthians 6: 2-3) 

What about the rest of mankind who are not being called at this time? They will be resurrected after the 1000-year reign of Messiah. (Revelation 20:5) This time of judgment is known as the last great day or the white throne judgment.

This second resurrection is to physical life. The firstfruits will be spirit beings and no longer physical. Please refer to Ezekiel 37 for insights into the second or physical resurrection of the rest of mankind. The firstfruits do not have to face the second death. That will be reserved for the fallen angels and the rest of mankind who are judged to be disobedient.

We live in the age of lies. Religion, science, politics, history and really all aspects of our culture are filled with deception. The word church is a translator’s deception as well. (Look in Strong’s Concordance for the correct word.) The churches are full of lies. This is why there will be only a 144,000 firstfruits in the first resurrection when Messiah returns.

Only some people are being called by Father Yahweh in this age. You may be one of them. If you have potential for becoming a firstfruit, Satan also knows this as well. He will focus his efforts on you. The rest of the world is not being called now. They are being reserved until the last great day, which will occur after the thousand-year reign of Messiah. Satan will deal with them later. 

To avoid falling victim to Satan’s deception, call on Yahweh to lead you to truth. Study, pray, and accept our invitation to be of assistance to you. We are not here to “save” the world. We are here to assist those being called by the Father. Prayer and study are a beginning, but the real understanding begins after your baptism in YahwehShua. At that time you will freely receive the Spirit of the Father, who will give you the down payment of Messiah’s Spirit. You will begin to develop the mind of Messiah. (Philippians 2:5)

Following baptism, the Spirit of Messiah will begin to be formed within you. (Galatians 4:19) As His Spirit becomes more developed within you over time, the mind of Messiah will reveal more truth and understanding to you. When you are baptized, you will also become a member of the body of Messiah. This is an important resource that Yahweh has prepared for all His firstfruits. You do not have to walk alone. Your brethren in the faith are commanded to love you, support you and encourage you in the process of overcoming. (John 15:12)

Becoming a firstfruit is the greatest calling of this age. If you are being called for this opportunity, consider taking advantage of it. Study the articles on this website and contact us. There is a challenge to accepting this invitation, and there is suffering associated with that as well. However the successful completion of your overcoming will produce rewards that you cannot even comprehend at this time. 

Remember, believing is not enough. You must take action and demonstrate the validity of your belief or faith. This action begins with baptism in the inherited name of YahwehShua. The path to the first resurrection begins here. Words are cheap and easy. Baptism makes your belief real. Then the work begins. However, you have the strength of Messiah and the body of Messiah to help you. You will not be alone! 

Contact us for more information! Go to prayer and ask Yahweh to guide you. Yes, begin now. Do not put it off!  If you wish to submit a question or comment, please email our Elder at john12e4567@gmail.com.
