The name of Yahweh appears in the scriptures 6,823 times and has been replace with the word "Lord" that comes from the word Baal; which is a Phoenician deity, used as a symbol of idolatry. Remember back in the time of that Cainite queen Jezebel, the wife of king Ahab, which did more evil in the site of Yahweh than all of the kings of Israel before him. 1 Kings 16: 29-33 29 And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years. 30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him. 31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. 32 And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. 33 And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.We will be reading about the great prophet Elijah, and what he did to the priests of Baal = Lord; later on in further Bible studies.Exodus 6:3 3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.Exodus 9:16 16 And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.Exodus 15:3 3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.Deuteronomy 28:58 58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD.Psalms 9:2 2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.Psalms 33:21 21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.Psalms 68:4 4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.Psalms 72:17-19 17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. 19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.Psalms 83:18 18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.Psalms 119:132 132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.Proverbs 30:4 4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended?

yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; 27 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.Ezekiel 39:7 7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.Ezekiel 43:7 7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.Hosea 2:16-17 16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali. 17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.Look in center concordance of your Bible and you will see that Baal= "Lord"Malachi 4:2-3 2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.Matthew 1:21-23 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.The word JESUS was not there, it was Saviour.

Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.Acts 4:12 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.Hebrews 4:8 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. The word Jesus was not there. Look in the center concordance and you will find that it was Yahshua, which means Yahweh will save.Revelation 3:8 8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.Revelations 22:1-4 1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.If you have a Strong’s Concordance, you may wish to take a look at the word "Jesus" which will take you to #2424 in the Greek dictionary of the New Testament and that will take you to #3091 in the Hebrew and Chaldee dictionary of the Old Testament, which will take you to #3442 and #3443 which is pronounced Yahshua, meaning He will save. Look in the front of your Strong’s Concordance and you will find under "directions and explanations."#1. An asterisk* calls attention to the fact that in the text quoted, that the leading word is changed to some other word in the revised version, When you look at the word "Jesus" you will find many asterisks throughout.You can also look in the back of many Bibles and find the words Yahweh and Yahshua as well as in most regular dictionaries and encyclopedias. I hope this study will help to encourage you to look into the name of our Heavenly Father, Yahweh throughout your search for the Truth. May you begin to call upon the true name of our Father from this day forward. Praise his Name and mighty and marvelous works forever more. May his Grace and blessings be with you, oh Israel!
