A fellow Identity Christian from Washington sent me the following study; and I believe that it has a great deal of merit contained in it. Therefore, I present it for your study and evaluation.
������������������������������������������������������������������������� Our Father�s Name
The subject of the name of our Heavenly Father is basically a very difficult one. It has been ingrained in us from childhood to call our Heavenly Father God, Lord, Jesus and all the other names we have learned. Now today we are going to have to do as the Messiah taught us, we have to become as little children.
This particular subject is probably one of the most difficult subjects to actually practice in all the Kingdom Identity Messages. It is to repent and come back and get rid of all those old names that we have been taught by our mothers and our fathers and our schools and our churches all our lives. And admit to the fact that they may be wrong.
Let us go through Scripture today and become as little children and see if we can beak all of those old habits because the Father wants us to turn around an go down the right path because He wants repentance which means to turn around and come back to Him.
Repent: 3340� metanoeo‑
1) to change one's mind (heart), that is, to repent
2) to change one's mind (heart) for the better, to amend heartily with abhorrence of one's past sins. (Thayer�s Definition)
Strong�s relates: 3340� metanoeo (met‑an‑o‑eh'‑o); from 3326 and 3539; to think differently or afterwards, i.e. reconsider (morally, feel compunction): KJV‑‑ repent.
Now who is god? Are there a lot of different gods? Why are we concerned about just any particular one if there is only one god? Why are we worried about what His name is, we will just give Him the title god and be done with it. What�s so important about knowing the name of god? What was it in Scripture? Can we stay within Scripture and answer the above questions about our god? Well lets see.
When the Children of Israel were in bondage in Egypt, Moses went to them and told them that god had sent him to lead them into the promised land. They immediately wanted to know what god? Because they had a lot of gods. And who did Moses say sent him? He said Yahweh, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Israel and the Elohim of Jacob had sent him. Now we know that we are Israel; we should find out who is this Yahweh and what He has to do with us.
Elohim; 430� 'elohiym‑
1) (plural)
a) rulers, judges
b) divine ones
c) angels
d) gods
2) (plural intensive ‑singular meaning)
a) God, a god, a goddess
b) god‑like one
c) works or special possessions of God
d) the one true God
e) God (Brown-Driver-Briggs� Definition)
Are there other gods? If there are a lot of gods, then who are they and which one is our god? How is our god related to them?
Questions for you to ponder: Why doesn�t god answer our prayers? You know, pray in My Name and whatever you ask you will receive. For years many have prayed in the name of the Lord Jesus and sometimes they would get what they asked but most of the time they didn�t get any answer at all.
If the Lord is God why do we call Him Jesus (As the letter �J� was not invented in the English language until sometime in the mid 1500s)? What is this Jesus and how is he connected back? Is he a different god than the Lord? And how come throughout the New Testament they called Jesus the Lord and in the Old Testament they called Him Lord? What is this Lord? Is it a name? Is it a title? Finally if there are other gods in the Bible are they good guys or are they bad guys? How do they tie in? What about this guy that is supposed to have a name whose number is 666? How does he tie in? Is he the lord or what god is he?
Let�s go into these questions and see if the Scriptures can come up with the answers?
We have never been taught anything in the Judeo-Christian church and the church�s of today never teach anyone anything except God is the Lord and Jesus is the Lord. They never teach what is Lord. If you ask them who is lord they say Jesus Christ is Lord. Is Jesus the first name and Christ the last name? Does God have a last name? Is this a family name or just what is it? They just don�t tell us.
We can, up to a point, tie and trace back through the Greek this word Jesus. Or if you look it up in Strong�s Exhaustive Concordance they will tell you it is the Greek pronunciation of the Hebrew word Yahshua, which they say is the name of God. Where did the Yahshua come from? We thought it was Yahweh.
Jesus - Strong�s: 2424� Iesous (ee‑ay‑sooce'); of Hebrew origin [3091]; Jesus (i.e. Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites: KJV‑‑ Jesus.
Jesus - Thayer�s Definition: 2424� Iesous‑Jesus = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is salvation"
1) Joshua was the famous captain of the Israelites, Moses' successor
2) Jesus, son of Eliezer, one of the ancestors of Christ
3) Jesus, the Son of God, the Savior of mankind, God incarnate
4) Jesus Barabbas was the captive robber whom the Jews begged Pilate to release instead of Jesus Christ
5) Jesus, surnamed Justus, a Jewish Christian, an associate with Paul in the preaching of the gospel
The first question we should go into is Yahweh the only God in the Scriptures. No, we don�t believe so, there are other gods in the Bible. Satan for instance. Christ said in John 12:31-32: �Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.�
Here Satan is called the �prince of this world� or this world order. The Hebrew word here for world is KOSMOS (#2889) which means world order.
World - Strong�s: 2889� kosmos (kos'‑mos); probably from the base of 2865; orderly arrangement, i.e. decoration; by implication, the world (in a wide or narrow sense, including its inhabitants, literally or figuratively [morally]): KJV‑‑ adorning, world.
2865 komizo (kom‑id'‑zo); from a primary komeo (to tend, i.e. take care of); properly, to provide for, i.e. (by implication) to carry off (as if from harm; genitive case obtain): KJV‑‑ bring, receive.
World - Thayer�s: 2889� kosmos‑
1) an apt and harmonious arrangement or constitution, order, government
2) ornament, decoration, adornment, that is, the arrangement of the stars, `the heavenly hosts', as the ornament of the heavens. 1 Pet. 3:3
3) the world, the universe
4) the circle of the earth, the earth
5) the inhabitants of the earth, men, the human race
6) the ungodly multitude; the whole mass of men alienated from God, and therefore hostile to the cause of Christ
7) world affairs, the aggregate of things earthly
the whole circle of earthly goods, endowments riches, advantages, pleasures, etc., which although hollow and frail and fleeting, stir desire, seduce from God and are obstacles to the cause of Christ
8) any aggregate or general collection of particulars of any sort
a) the Gentiles as contrasted to the Jews (Rom. 11:12 etc)
a) used of believers only, John 1:29; 3:16; 3:17; 6:33; 12:47 1 Cor. 4:9; 2 Cor. 5:19
John 14:30:
�Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.� John is once again mentioning Satan as the prince of this world.
Once again mentioning Satan as the prince of this world; burn to John 16:11: �Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.� The Messiah is continuously talking about the prince of this world order. Now we will find that the prince of this world order traces all the way back to Genesis and to Satan or the serpent and he is in control of this world. After the Messiah fasted 40 days He was taken up on the high place and is tested by Satan.
Matthew 4:5‑9:
�Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.� Satan said; All these things will I give thee.� Well who gave it unto Satan then?
Satan is the prince or god of this world and he is in power and it was his rebellion that caused the fall in the first place. He has demons and spirits which work with him. So we know there is at least one other god. When we study all the paganisms of the world we find that each and every name that the pagans worship ties right back to Satan. Turn to 2 Corinthians 4:4 and we will find out that the prince of this world is a god for it says: �In whom the �god� of this world �hath blinded� the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of the Messiah, who is the image of Yahweh, should shine unto them.�
Here we find out that it is the prince or �god� of this world, Satan, who has blinded our people, Israel, so that they can not see and understand.
God - Strong�s: 2316� theos (theh'‑os); of uncertain affinity; a deity, especially (with 3588) the supreme Divinity; figuratively, a magistrate; by Hebraism, very: KJV‑‑ X exceeding, God, god [‑ly, ‑ward].
How has he blinded them? With grand and glorious churches; with big beautiful buildings, with large masses of money and gold and wealth. It�s so glorious and glittering that it is blinding to our people; our people don�t want to study at home in little groups, and listen tot apes and study writings and open the Word and study the Scriptures. They want to go once a week to some grand and fancy social Judeo-Christian church to some false teacher in a high hat and a turned around collar and a robe and lots of candles, and put their money in the till. Or they want to sit at home and watch the Jew tube and see the big and fancy churches and all the grand and glorious people and put the money in the mail. They are blinded by the glory of this world. But Yahweh says His people are blind but He has called out the elect, which are not blind. So Yahweh�s elect is the remnant meeting in little groups, their eyes are open and gold and glory literally turns their stomachs.
Because we know that it�s not of Yahweh but of Baal! All of these pagan gods trace back to some primary names of Satan, primarily the name of Baal. Now lets turn to Leviticus 17:7 where we find that Baal is identified. �And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute forever unto them throughout their generations.�
This is part of the Levitical Law and it discusses Israel. All of Israel�s people, starting back shortly after the Garden of Eden had gone after Baal. The Father kept sending prophets to them and they ended up repenting for a generation or two and the next king comes in and the next thing they are right back to Baal worship again. During the Exodus they set up the Golden Calf (Exodus 32:4), it was typical worship of the holy cow that came from India into Egypt about 120 years after Joseph. The Hittites from India came into Egypt and brought with them their holy cow and the cobra. The symbol on all their helmets was the cobra which is not native to Egypt and the worship of the cow is still going on in India today.
When they set up that Golden Calf during the Exodus they worshiped this and when Aaron led the worship he said this is the feast day to Yahweh. As it says in Scripture this is the Lord. This is our God.
�And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD...They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed there unto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.� (Exodus 32:5-8)
In Deuteronomy 32:16-18: �They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God (the El) that formed thee.�
God - Strong�s: 433 'elowahh (el‑o'‑ah; rarely (shortened) 'eloahh (el‑o'‑ah); probably prolonged (emphat.) from 410; a deity or the Deity: KJV‑‑ God, god. See 430.
#410: 'el (ale); shortened from 352; strength; as adjective, mighty; especially the Almighty (but used also of any deity): KJV‑‑ God (god), X goodly, X great, idol, might (‑y one), power, strong. Compare names in "‑el."
#430: 'elohiym (el‑o‑heem'); plural of 433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative: KJV‑‑ angels, X exceeding, God (gods)‑ dess, ‑ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty.
So there are a lot of gods in the Bible but which El are we talking about. We are talking about our
Father ELYON. El is the word we translate god. ELYON means �The Supreme� (Some say �Most High�). It�s translated �The Almighty.� Elton: �God is the Supreme.� We are talking about the Supreme God; the Creator of the universe. Elohim is a Hebrew word which means �God the Creator.�
We are not talking about Baal. We need to identify Him by the name which He gives. He told Moses; You go back and you tell them Yahweh, I AM, THAT I AM. (Exodus 3:14) A better translation of that is Yahweh, I WILL BE THAT (which) I WILL BE. What Yahweh means is that if He wants to be a burning bush He will be a burning bush. If He wants to be a pillar of fire or a column of smoke that is exactly what He will be. He will be whatever He wants to be. If he wants to be a man through immaculent conception, born as a man through Meriam (Mary), He was. If He wants to be a spirit He will divide Himself up and place Himself as a spirit within each one of us.
I AM - Strong�s: 1961� hayah (haw‑yaw); a primitive root [compare 1933]; to exist, i.e. be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary): KJV‑‑ beacon, X altogether, be (‑come), accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass), do, faint, fall, + follow, happen, X have, last, pertain, quit (oneself‑), require, X use.
I AM - Brown-Drivers-Briggs� Definition: 1961� hayah‑to be, to become, to come to pass, to exist, to happen, to fall out
a) (Qal)
1) to befall
a) to happen, to fall out, to occur, to take place, to come about, to come to pass
b) to come about, to come to pass
2) to come into being, to become
a) to arise, to appear, to come
b) to become
1) to become
2) to become like
3) to be instituted, to be established
3) to be
a) to exist, to be in existence
b) to abide, to remain, to continue (with word of place or time)

d) to accompany, to be with
b) (Niphal)
1) to occur, to come to pass, to be done, to be brought about
2) to be done, to be finished, to be gone
Let�s go on and talk about the other gods in the Scriptures. We find in 2 Corinthians 11:14-16:
�And no marvel; for Satan transformeth himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers (the Jews) also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness (Israelites); whose end shall be according to their works. I say again, Let no man think me a fool; If otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.�
Here Paul is talking and tells us that Satan himself will be transformed into an angel of light. And his children, Satans children, we call them the Jews or those who call themselves Jews, will also be transformed into ministers of righteousness. And you can see them in our big fancy churches today. The Messiah said: Many shall come in my name (Professing Christ to be the Messiah) and deceive many.� But if you will look up that work �many� in Strong�s (#4183) it more rightly would be translated most.
�Most shall come in my name and deceive most.� (Mark 13:5-6; Matthew 24:4-5)
Many - Strong�s: 4183� polus (pol‑oos'); including the forms from the alternate pollos; (singular) much (in any respect) or (plural) many; neuter (singular) as adverbial, largely; neuter (plural) as adverb or noun often, mostly, largely: KJV‑‑ abundant, + altogether, common, + far (passed, spent), (+be of a) great (age, deal, ‑ly, while), long, many, much, oft (‑en [‑times]), plenteous, sore, straitly. Compare 4118, 4119.
Many - Thayer�s Definition: 4183� polus‑many, much, large
Therefore, most of the world today is blinded of Satan, deceived by Satans ministers in what we call Judeo-Christianity in our Judeo Christian churches today. We are going to find out that this word Christianity is based on this word Christ and is not the name of our Father. �Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.� (Exodus 23:7)
I WILL NOT JUSTIFY THE WICKED! Here is a warning to our people that are in this Judeo-Christian church that is called Christianity. Our Father is not going to justify the wicked. Thus, we should heed Yahweh�s warning in Revelation 18:4:
�And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.�
Moving on to Exodus 23:13:
��And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.�
Circumspect - Strong�s: 8104� shamar (shaw‑mar'); a primitive root; properly, to hedge about (as with thorns), i.e. guard; generally, to protect, attend to, etc.: KJV‑‑ beware, be circumspect, take heed (toself), keep (‑erself,), mark, look narrowly, observe, preserve, regard, reserve, save (self), sure, (that lay) wait (for), watch (‑man).
Circumspect - Brown-Drivers-Briggs� Definition: 8104� shamar‑to keep, to guard, to observe, to give heed
a) (Qal)
1) to keep, to have charge of
2) to keep, to guard, to keep watch and ward, to protect, to save life; watch, a watchman (participle)
3) to watch for, to wait for
4) to watch, to observe
5) to keep, to retain, to treasure up (in memory)
6) to keep (within bounds), to restrain
7) to observe, to celebrate, to keep (Sabbath or covenant or commands), to perform (a vow)
8) to keep, to preserve, to protect
9) to keep, to reserve
b) (Niphal)
1) to be on one's guard, to take heed, to take care, to beware
2) to keep oneself, to refrain, to abstain
3) to be kept, to be guarded
c) (Piel) to keep, to pay heed
d) (Hithpael) to keep oneself from
NEITHER LET THESE NAMES BE HEARD OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. If we are going around saying the names of other deities we are going directly contrary to what the word of Yahweh tells us. So we had better be careful about these things.
Now turn to the Book of Joshua were we find:
�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 gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them.� (Josh 23:6‑7)
Here we see that one is very courageous if they keep the Laws of Yahweh. Therefore, we must be very careful in what we call our Father. Because if we are calling Him by a name of another deity then we are in deep trouble. Our Father expects repentance and expects us to turn around. We�ve been ignorant of El�s name for 2500 years. It�s been 2500 years that our people have been blind. Our Father knows this; and He allowed us to become blind. He knows that we would be blind. He knows that we wouldn�t know the correct names and that we would be misled by pagans and idolatry.
�Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant? Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.� (Isaiah 42:19-22)
Understand one thing; It is the prayer of faith that heals the people. This is very clearly demonstrated when Yahshua was speaking to the woman from Canaan:
�And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. Then Jesus (Yahshua) answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.� (Matthew 15:22-18)
Yahshua did not heal her daughter! Her daughter was healed because of her mothers great faith. That is not to say that many miracles and physical healings have been done in the name of Jesus Christ; which demonstrates that the Father has heard the prayer and answered it because of the faith of the one doing the praying. For they, like the woman from Canaan, who had great faith, their prayers were answered because of their great faith, which our Father honored. Read the Book of James you find that it is faith that heals. It is the prayer of faith that heals!
Yahweh knows that His people will hear and through faith ask and He has performed many miracles for them; but Satan also has power and has performed, and can perform and shall perform many miracles, to deceive Yahweh�s Israel people. We are told in Revelation 13:14:
�And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.�
Again we find in Revelation 16:14:
�For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.�
And Revelation 19:20:
�And the beast was taken,� and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.�
Our people, the True Israelites are not to look for signs and miracles. We are given signs and miracles. It is the heathen and the pagans that go out and ask for signs and miracles.
�Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees (The Jews) answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous (The Jews are a mixed up bunch of people, and not a race, as they would have us believe) generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas.� (Matthew 12:38-39)
We as Yahweh�s children need no signs; we are given signs by Him. We can read the Scriptures and study it, and are shown things to know where and who we are.
Our Father recognizes the position we are in today. He knows that we are blind; He knows that we have needs and He will answer those needs. But once He has taken the blindness off it is time to leave the old name and come to the new name which He has given to us, because the new name is the ancient one. The one He Himself gave us thousands of years ago. The one He told us to use. Many are called by the Father�s name; and the Fathers name is Yahweh. We are called by that name, we are called to Him by that name. It is the name Yahweh Yahshua that calls us to Him. Many have wondered why His followers were not called Yehoshuaite or something like that; but no, that is not what it means; it�s that name that calls us to Him.
Many ask how did this corruption that is putting in names of others into the Scriptures, how did this happen and how and why was this allowed to happen? The oldest handwritten copies of Scripture we have dates to about 300 to 400 A.D. These re copies of the New Testament Hebrew translated into Greek. The Septuagint was made about 320 to 300 B.C. But the only actual physical copies that we have now are in museums and they are copies dating to about 400 to 500 A.D. So we�ve got at least 600 years between the time it was originally translated into Greek from Hebrew to where we have a copy of it today. The names were all changed in the translation from the Aramaic to the Greek tot he Latin and to the English. And from the Aramaic to the Greek to the English. (New Testament)
All words are translated, except names. Names are not translated they are transliterated. Take the name Moses for example. Moses was translated into English Moses. The Hebrew pronunciation of that name is almost the same as the English pronunciation. They took English letters and made syllables that sound like the Hebrew word. And that�s transliteration.
Moses - Strong�s: #4872� Mosheh (mo‑sheh'); from 4871; drawing out (of the water), i.e. rescued; Mosheh, the Israelite lawgiver: KJV‑‑ Moses.
#4871 mashah (maw‑shaw'); a primitive root; to pull out (literally or figuratively): KJV‑‑ draw (out).
Now let�s take the name Peter; if we translate the word Petrus it would be Rock. (Ore of the Rock) Thus, in the New Testament instead of saying Peterif they translated the word they would have said: �The Rock said such and such.� No, they transliterated the name to Peter said such and such.
Peter - Strong�s: #4074� Petros (pet'‑ros); apparently a primary word; a (piece of) rock (larger than 3037); as a name, Petrus, an apostle: KJV‑‑ Peter, rock. Compare 2786.
#2786 - Kephas (kay‑fas'); of Aramaic origin [compare 3710]; the Rock; Cephas (i.e. Kepha), a surname of Peter: KJV‑‑ Cephas.
#2786 - Thayer�s Definition: Kephas‑Cephas = "stone" another name for the apostle Peter
Peter - Thayer�s Definition: 4074� Petros‑Peter = "a rock or a (small) stone"; one of the twelve disciples of Jesus
Every name of a person, place or thing in the Scriptures is transliterated. This is why we stumble and bumble through Scripture over all these old funny names because we have difficulty in pronouncing them. All of those names are transliterations except for the one name and that�s the name of our Father. 5,210 times in the Old Testament the name Yahweh was written by they did not transliterate it into English; they REPLACED it with the word Lord.
Lord - Strong�s: #136:� 'Adonay (ad‑o‑noy'); am emphatic form of 113; the Lord (used as a proper name of God only): KJV‑‑ (my) Lord.
Lord - Brown-Driver-Briggs� Definition: #136� 'Adonay‑
1) my lord, lord
a) used of men
b) used of God
2) Lord (a title) spoken instead of Yahweh as a Jewish display of reverence
Strong�s #113: 'adown (aw‑done'); or (shortened) 'adon (aw‑done'); from an unused root (meaning to rule); sovereign, i.e. controller (human or divine): KJV‑‑ lord, master, owner. Compare also names beginning with "Adoni‑".
Brown-Driver-Briggs� Definition #113: 'adown (or, shortened, 'adon)‑firm, strong, lord, master
1) lord, master
a) referring to men:
1) a superintendent of a household, a superintendent of affairs
2) a master
3) a king

Who did this? Who did the replacing? The answer is, the scribes did the replacing. Who did the scribes get their hands on the Scriptures?
The original scribes were of the house of Levi. Yahweh�s plan was that they were to be the priests, teachers and administrators. Then after Israel became a kingdom and went through David, Solomon and got down to the divided kingdom of Rehoboam and Jeroboam our people started going into idolatry again.
Therefore, let�s look at 1 Kings 12:25-31:
�Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel. And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David: If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.�
The kingdom was split; ten and � of the tribes had the Northern Kingdom and the Tribes of Judah, Benjamin and � the tribe of Levi occupied the Southern Kingdom. Jeroboam was afraid that if the people of the Northern Kingdom went to the Southern Kingdom to attend the feast days they would return unto Rehoboam and would kill Jeroboam. So Jeroboam devised a plan.
�Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.� (1 Kings 12:28)
Here we see they are right back into worshiping the Golden Calf again that we saw in Exodus.
�And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.� (1 Kings 12:29-31)
Thus the Northern Ten and � Tribes (Jeroboam) went back to Baal worship; and he set up the Golden Calves all over again. Then what did he make the scribes out of? Did he make them of the house of Levi? No, he made them of the lowest of the people. They were the strangers and descendants of Cain. They were those who today we call Jews. So he made the scribes who were responsible for the keeping of the Scriptures and the word of Yahweh out of the strangers in the land, the Jews.
Now turn to Jeremiah were we will see a little more of this, Jeremiah 7:17-20:
�Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven (Ishtar the wife of Nimrod (The Two Babylons, p. 103), and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.�
What they are doing here is making the cakes to the goddess of heaven. We can trace her back to Ishtar; this is the origin of the little Christmas cakes and the goodies that our people make even today. These people were in blindness. They didn�t know any better but what does Yahweh saying He is going to do? He�s going to destroy them! HE IS NOT GOING TO JUSTIFY THE WICKED!
�Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: Thus saith Yahweh, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and Thy name is great in might.� (Jeremiah 10:1-6)
It says Learn Not The Ways of The Heathen. Here is the origin of the yule log and possibly the Christmas tree (Hanukkah Bush); to make the idols they cut the trees and used the wood as frame work for the idols. Then they would cover the framework with plates of gold and silver and this is how they made the Golden Calf. We were not to worship them we were to worship our Father. Why must we know the true name of our heavenly Father?
What�s the difference; isn�t it the condition of the heart that�s important? Well Yahweh knew the condition of the heart of these men and women that they were making these cakes to the queen of heaven. And we know the condition of the heart of those that worship the Golden Calf and set it up; and it made a lot of difference.
Dropping down to verse 11 it says that they shall perish from the earth.
�For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down afore time into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.� (Isaiah 52:4-5)
How can Yahweh�s name be blasphemed? It has been changed and replaced with the word Lord! And if you will go on to an old Smith Bible Dictionary and look up the word Baal you will find in parenthesis Lord. In India the oldest writings of the Hittites give the name of the god of Adon - IA. Which we would pronounce YAH. In Egypt the name of the god was RAH. The latest discoveries of the Ebla tablets the most ancient of names is spelled EA. You can pronounce EA only as YAH. Today we use the term Hallelujah; it�s the same word in every language and it means praise to YAH. It is a word of joy and exaltation.
How did the scribes convert the name from Yahweh to Lord? From Yahshua to Jesus? They certainly didn�t do it by transliteration! We saw that the infiltration started to take place in Kings under Jeroboam. We find in Ezra 2:61-62:
�And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name: These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.�
The children of the priests of Habaiah, Koz and Barzillai had taken wives from the family of Barzillai the Gileadite, a heathen, and therefore had mixed the blood. Ezra was a leader of the 42,000 that came back to build the temple. He made an effort to cleanse this priesthood. He said that if you can�t find your genealogy as a Levi (pure blood Israelites) then you are put out of the priesthood. So we know that between the time of Solomon and the time of the return of the 42,000 there were about 700 to 800 years the priesthood had been corrupted. The 42,000 coming back, brought back with them the books of the Babylonians because they had been 70 years in captivity and that�s about 3 generations. They lost how to speak Hebrew so they went back to the Hebrew and added the vowel points to the Hebrew to try to teach the people once again to speak the Scriptures in Hebrew. And they had to cleanse the priesthood in order to do this.
��� We can show that from the time of the returning 42,000 down to the coming of the Messiah that once again they went back to idol worship. And they kept substituting the name Lord which is Baal for the name of our Father Yahweh. They said Yahweh is to hard of a name to pronounce. It was crossed out in the Scripture and above it they wrote the word Adonay which means Baal. Then the Monks came along translating Scripture and they saw the YHWH (tetragrammation) crossed out with Adonay written above it and he took the vowels of Adonay which were A O & A and dropped them down into YHWH and he came up with Yahweh. Well the Y in modern English is changed to J and that�s where we get the word Jehovah. Jehovah is a corruption between YHWH and Adonay, Baal, Satan, Lord, etc.
The word Baal means
�The Lord of the earth or Prince of the earth.�
We have already read Scripture that the Prince of the Earth is Satan. In the Septuagint and in the Greek there is a god KURIOS, and in Jeromes translation called the vulgate it�s Dominus, both of which are translated Lord. But all of these are Latin or Greek replacements of the word El or YHWH (Yahweh). They are not translations and they are not transliteration, they are substitutions.
What does our Father think of the teachers of this error who refuse to return to the truth. Turn to Isaiah 43:27-28:
�Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.�
Because of this our Father has put us into the mess we are in today. Turn to Ezekiel chapter 36 and lets red what the Father promises and why He is having to change us and why He had to die on the stake and why He had to bring the New Convenient. Ezekiel 36:16-27 states:
�Moreover the word of the LORD (Yahweh) came unto me, saying, Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman. Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it: And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them. And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land. But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. For I will take you (Israel) from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.�
Because His people have polluted and profaned His Holy Name and worshiped idols Yahweh has scattered His people and judged them. But now He has gathered us and put a new heart and spirit in us and will walk in His statutes and judgments and will do them. HALLELUJAH! That�s the promise of the New Testament. That�s the promise of His Spirit in us. The New Convenient (Comforter) and He is writing His laws upon our hearts.
Now What About This Name Jesus Christ?: Where does Jesus come from? Strong�s says it�s a translation of the word Yahshua.
Jesus - Strong�s: #2424� Iesous (ee‑ay‑sooce'); of Hebrew origin [3091]; Jesus (i.e. Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites: KJV‑‑ Jesus.
Thayer�s Definition: #2424� Iesous‑Jesus = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is salvation"
1) Joshua was the famous captain of the Israelites, Moses' successor
2) Jesus, son of Eliezer, one of the ancestors of Christ
3) Jesus, the Son of God, the Savior of mankind, God incarnate
4) Jesus Barabbas was the captive robber whom the Jews begged Pilate to release instead of Jesus Christ
5) Jesus, surnamed Justus, a Jewish Christian, an associate with Paul in the preaching of the gospel
Let�s see what the true transliteration of the word Yahshua (Yahshua) is. Moses was commanded by Yahweh to send across the river Jordan into the promised land 12 spies, one from each tribe and verse 8 says: �Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.� Oshea is a Hebrew word that means Savior.
Savior - Strong�s: #3467� yasha` (yaw‑shah'); a primitive root; properly, to be open, wide or free, i.e. (by implication) to be safe; causatively, to free or succor:� KJV‑‑ X at all, avenging, defend, deliver (‑er), help, preserve, rescue, be safe, bring (having) salvation, save (‑iour), get victory.
Brown-Driver-Briggs� Definition: #3467� yasha`‑to save, to be saved, to be delivered
a) (Niphal)
1) to be liberated, to be saved, to be delivered
2) to be saved (in battle), to be victorious
b) (Hiphil)
1) to save, to deliver
2) to save from moral troubles
3) to give victory to
Verse 16 says:
�These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshuan (Yah-ha-shuah).�
Jehoshuan - Strong�s: #3091� Yehowshuwa` (yeh‑ho‑shoo'‑ah); or Yehowshu` a (yeh‑ho‑shoo'‑ah); from 3068 and 3467; Jehovah‑saved; Jehoshua (i.e. Joshua), the Jewish leader: ‑Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua. Compare 1954, 3442.
Brown-Driver-Briggs� Definition: #3091� Yehowshuwa` or Yehowshu` a‑Joshua or Jehoshua = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is salvation"; as a proper noun, masculine:
1) a son of Nun of the tribe of Ephraim and successor to Moses as the leader of the children of Israel; led the conquest of Canaan
2) a resident of Beth‑shemesh on whose land the Ark of the Covenant came to a stop after the Philistines returned it
3) a son of Jehozadak and high priest after the restoration
4) the governor of Jerusalem under king Josiah who gave his name to a gate of the city of Jerusalem
He changed his name from savior to Yah-Savior which means Yahweh is Salvation. Changing the Y to a J we have the modern English transliteration of Joshua. Joshua led the Children of Israel across the river Jordan into the promised land just as our Father Yahshua is going to lead us into the kingdom.
Joshua - Strong�s: #3091� Yehowshuwa` (yeh‑ho‑shoo'‑ah); or Yehowshu` a (yeh‑ho‑shoo'‑ah); from 3068 and 3467; Jehovah‑saved; Jehoshua (i.e. Joshua), the Jewish leader: ‑Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua. Compare 1954, 3442.
Brown-Driver-Briggs� Definition: #3091� Yehowshuwa` or Yehowshu` a‑Joshua or Jehoshua = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is salvation"; as a proper noun, masculine:
1) a son of Nun of the tribe of Ephraim and successor to Moses as the leader of the children of Israel; led the conquest of Canaan
2) a resident of Beth‑shemesh on whose land the Ark of the Covenant came to a stop after the Philistines returned it
3) a son of Jehozadak and high priest after the restoration
4) the governor of Jerusalem under king Josiah who gave his name to a gate of the city of Jerusalem
Whenever a change occurs in Scripture then a genetic and physical change occurs in the person. And one can trace that all through the Scriptures; so remember this. When the Messiah entered Jerusalem the people came out and recognized Him as Oshea. Which in English is pronounced Hosanna.
Hosanna - Strong�s: #5614� hosanna (ho‑san‑nah'); of Hebrew origin [3467 and 4994]; oh save!; hosanna (i.e. hoshia‑na), an exclamation of adoration: KJV‑‑ hosanna.
They recognized Him as being the Savior. He said, in effect: �I come in My Fathers name!� So what is His Fathers Name? YAH! The Savior! Yahshua, Joshua. If we were going to properly transliterate as the translators of the King James Bible did the name of our Savior Yahshua would become Joshua. He came in His Fathers name!
Many students of the Scriptures will tell you the study of the Greek that YHAH is changed in the Greek to IZ. And the I is later changed to J. And that�s where we get the G sound. And the Oshea was changed to Zeus. There were three Greek gods, in the time of Yahshua, discovered in Palestine about 1933 or 1934. They found the temple of Kristos, the temple of Es, and the temple of Zeus.
Those words (Kristos, Es, Zeus) were substituted for Yahshua. Instead of transliterating in the modern English properly as Joshua they translated into Greek and were called Kristos first at Antioch. Dristos, Es and Zeus are Greek gods and can be found in their temples in any good archaeology book. The translators anglicized it into Jesus Christ. Now we have got to go to the Book of Revelation to show you that we have the Abomination of Desolation standing in the holy place today. We are the holy place! We are the Temple of Yahweh. 1 Corinthians 3:15:
�Know ye not that ye are the temple of God (Yahweh), and that the Spirit of God (Yahweh) dwelleth in you?�
We have in us today, a name Jesus Christ, continually on our lips. The Greek words Zeus, Es and Kristo are all names for Adonay, Baal and Satan! So let�s make a study of these words Kristos, Es, Zeus and see if we can find out what they refer to. We find in Revelation 13:10-18:
�If anyone {is destined} for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints. And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. And he performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image (idol) to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And there was given to him to give breath to the image (idol) of the beast, that the image of the beast might even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image (idol) of the beast to be killed.� (NAS)
Notice in verse 14 they are going to make an image (idol) for the beast and in verse 15 they have already made the image (idol) of the beast. Notice, also, that the phrase �image (idol) of the beast� occurs four times.
�And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name (of the idol) of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the (of the idol) beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.� (Revelation 13:16-18)
Please note that we have added the phrase �of the idol� in verse 17 and 18 in keeping with the context of verse 14 and 15)
This number 666: Everybody has been looking for 666. Who is this number 666? Well first of all we can fit it into the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church because the number 666, according to Strong�s Concordance, is making reference to a cross.
666 - Strong�s: #5516� chi xi stigma (khee xee stig'‑ma); the 22nd, 14th and an obsolete letter (4742 as a cross) of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the 5th and 6th), used as numbers; denoting respectively 600, 60 and 6; 666 as a numeral: KJV‑‑ six hundred threescore and six.
Mark - Strong�s: #4742� stigma (stig'‑mah); from a primary stizo (to "stick", i.e. prick); a mark incised or punched (for recognition of ownership), i.e. (figuratively) scar of service: KJV‑‑ mark.
Thayer�s Definition: #4742 �stigma‑a mark pricked in or branded upon the body. To ancient oriental usage, slaves and soldiers bore the name or the stamp of their master or commander branded or pricked (cut) into their bodies to indicate what master or general they belonged to, and there were even some devotee's who stamped themselves in this way with the token of their gods.
Cross - Strong�s: #4716� stauros (stow‑ros'); from the base of 2476; a stake or post (as set upright), i.e. (specifically) a pole or cross (as an instrument of capital punishment); figuratively, exposure to death, i.e. self‑denial; by implication, the atonement of Christ: KJV‑‑ cross.
#2476 histemi (his'‑tay‑mee); a prolonged form of a primary stao (stah'‑o) (of the same meaning, and used for it in certain tenses); to stand (transitively or intransitively), used in various applications (literally or figuratively):� KJV‑‑ abide, appoint, bring, continue, covenant, establish, hold up, lay, present, set (up), stanch, stand (by, forth, still, up). Compare 5087.
Thayer�s Definition: #4716� stauros‑
1) an upright stake, especially a pointed one
2) a cross:
a) a well‑known instrument of most cruel and ignominious punishment, borrowed by the Greeks and Romans from the Phoenicians; to it were affixed among the Romans, down to the time of Constantine the Great, the guiltiest criminals, particularly the basest slaves, robbers, the authors and abetters of insurrections, and occasionally in the provinces, at the arbitrary pleasure of the governors, upright and peaceable men also, and even Roman citizens themselves
b) the crucifixion which Christ underwent
Now if you take the Pope, on his tiara he�s got the name Vicarius Filiis Dei. Now we are told that if we cancel all the letters in this name that have no numerical value in Latin, then take all the letters that have a numerical value and add them together it all adds up to 666. Now surely this must prove that the Pope is 666.
Now it was the Protestant�s that pointed to the Catholic�s and said there is the 666. There�s the Pope, and he�s got the 666, and it seemed to fit. (And since the Jews have controlled the Catholic Church since about 1866, this would be even more true since then than in John�s day. So he was probably looking at his present time and also into the future and saw that the Jews would control the Pope, thus making him the false prophet)
Then someone came along and pointed out and said No, now look in Daniel Chapter 7 it says this beast represents kings and kingdoms and empires and is a political system not a religious system. Then came along World War I and they pointed to the Kaiser; and sure enough his name added up to 666. Then along came another group and they took the name of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, his real name was Rosenfeld and he was a Jew. Sure enough his name added up to 666.
It would appear that the key to this mystery is this; Go to Daniel you�ll find that the beast that was set up, the idol that was set up that Daniel refused to worship was 666. Therefore, we can see it in its size and its shape and its height. It�s a beast system; the beast system is a political, economic, religious, educational beast system; all controlled by the Jews. For the Scriptures say that the Jews are guilty of all the blood of the righteous:
�Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. Ye (Jews are) serpents, ye generation (race - people) of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.� (Matthew 23:29‑38)
For a second witness:
�And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters (the Jews occupy every country on earth, and so fulfill the prophecy of setting upon many waters): With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus(Yahshua): and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.� (Revelation 17:1‑6)
We know that the Jews are guilty of all the righteous blood, as stated in Matthew 23, therefore if they are guilty of all the righteous blood, then they too are the ones being mentioned here as the �woman� who was drunk with the blood of the Saints. The Jews have been very drunk with the blood of Christians in this century alright, more than 100 million of them have been murdered by the Jews in this century alone. So there is no doubt that they are the ones being referenced here, although they are not mentioned by name.
The letters translated six, six, six are old Greek and they are CHI - X - STIGMA. The word �stigma� means mark and it is the same mark that was put on Cain.
Mark - Strong�s: #226� 'owth (oth); probably from 225 (in the sense of appearing); a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.: KJV‑‑ mark, miracle, (en‑) sign, token.
It all boils down to this unused word �STIGMA� which is the mark put upon Cain, which is the mark of the beast, and is the mark of the jews today. All through history the Jews have put up a beast system, politically, economically and religiously, a one world beast system that has been in control and is still in control today. They are the prince of this earth and the power and every piece and part of it and they have this mark 666 on them.
In the days of Daniel they said if you don�t bow down to that system you die. In the days of the Maccabees if you don�t bow down to this system you die. Today if you don�t bow down to the International, Communist, Socialist, Judaistic world wide system, the day is quickly coming that if you don�t take the mark (accept the beast political, economic, educational system) you will die. Make no mistake this mark, this international system, is much deeper than we ever thought!
We have a one world church system today, under the control of the Jews (they are in all the Seminaries, most of the Judeo-Christian pulpits {by their teachings if not in actuality} that is saying continuously �Jesus is Lord.� We know that the word Lord means Baal. We know that the word Jesus is Es-Zeus. We know that the word Christ is Kristos. All three are Greek gods.
Let us quote from the booklet �666" that was written and compiled by the Scripture Research Association:
�The Greek Zeus has been transliterated into different nations as follows: Hesus, Easus, Gesu, Iezus, and Jesus, so that today he is now being worshiped in the entire world by different variations of this name. Yahweh�s identification mark of this idol whose numerical equivalent is 666. In the Greek, the language that the New Testament is now written in, there are no numbers such as we have. Their numbers are the letters of the alphabet according to their numerical value.
�This cryptic number 666 is a deliberate act of the writer to use a name disguise, so that only the wise in spiritual things would understand it. This identification mark of the �ABOMINABLE IDOL� and of its human representatives was not for the outsider or worldling to understand, but only for the wise in Yahshua, for whom it is written, �Unto you it is given to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom.� (Luke 8:10)
�The principal of using disguises for pagan deities was not new with John the Revelator, but was used in the Old Testament by other prophets.
�There is no doubt that the Aramaic Language in which the Book of Revelation was originally written, contained the name of the �IDOL� which had previously defiled the temple in the days of Antiochus Epiphanes, and again would be used to defile the temple in the close of this age. The name of that IDOL was ZEUS. They did this by using symbolic language, as is evidenced by the Hebrew text of Revelation 13:18. They disguised the name of the �ABOMINABLE IDOL� by cryptic __ - _ - __ - __ = Six Six and Six, which when those initiated to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom, red it as __ _ = SUS. When it was translated into Greek, he faithfully translated it Xξζ which when read as a number; it is 666, but the very same characters read as letters wold spell out the name of the �IDOL� they were to watch out for.
�In Greek this number is written as follows: Xξζ (#5516 in Strong�s). Those are the letters whose equivalent in English are XZS. Now in Webster�s International Dictionary we are told that the capitol X, written by itself, is the abbreviation for the Greek KRISTOS, or the English Christ. So if we sound Z and S, instead of reading them as numbers, as do the Greeks, we have the word ZUZ or Zeus. The complete letters would be X Kristos, Z S Zuz. Reading the Greek letters Xξζ as numbers, we have 666; reading them as letters, we have the name of the deity KRISTOS ZEUS, or Christ Jesus, the name and number of the abomination that maketh desolate.�
We have through out all of Israel�s people and even through out many Kingdom Identity people the ABOMINATION of DESOLATION standing in the temple, in the holy place today. We are the temple of Yahweh and we have Jesus Christ continually upon our lips.�
1). �If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.� (1 Corinthians 3:17)
2). �What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?� (1 Corinthians 6:19)
3). �And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.� (2 Corinthians 6:16)
4). �Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.� (Ephesians 2:19‑22)
These four verses, and there are others, are witnesses that we are the Temple of Yahweh. So any Temple that the antichrists or false Judeo-Christians might build in that little bastard, murderous state known to the world today as Israel, will never be the Temple of Yahweh nor should any respect be shown by those who follow Yahweh.
It would appear from this study that the Abomination that makes us desolate standing in the holy place. We dare say that there will be one, the King of all Jews, Satan, will one day stand in the Holy Place over there in Jerusalem and he will say �I am the Lord� or �I am Jesus Christ� and he will be telling the truth. He will be Baal-Zeus. This is the end times! Now what does our Father Yahweh think about us using these names in the replacement of His? Yahweh does not like it!
We find in Isaiah 52:5:
�Now therefore, what have I here, saith (Yahweh) the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith (Yahweh) the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.�
Now we can understand; Yahweh�s people all the time using Lord, God, Jesus Christ and Christian are continually blaspheming the name of our Father. We believe that we know that Ezekiel 38 and 39 is the story of Armageddon or at least the battle thereof. Ezekiel 39:7:
�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 Yahweh, the Holy One in Israel.�
Here is more evidence that our people continuously pollute His Name! Also, make special note of Yahweh�s words when He says �I make My Holy Name KNOWN in the midst of my people Israel.� (Ezekiel 39:7) Therefore, this is even more evidence that we are using the wrong name for Yahweh. Jeremiah 23:26-27:
�How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? Yes, 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.�
Now turn to Hosea 2:16:
�And it shall be at that day, saith Yahweh, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shall call me no more Baali.�
Ishi means husband because we are the bride, the wife of Yahweh. We will no longer call Him Baal, we will call Him husband.
Ishi - Strong�s: #376� 'iysh (eesh); contracted for 582 [or perhaps rather from an unused root meaning to be extant]; a man as an individual or a male person; often used as an adjunct to a more definite term (and in such cases frequently not expressed in translation): KJV‑‑ also, another, any (man), a certain, + champion, consent, each, every (one), fellow, [foot‑, husband‑] man, [good‑, great, mighty) man, he, high (degree), him (that is), husband, man [‑kind], + none, one, people, person, + steward, what (man) soever, whoso (‑ever), worthy. Compare 802.

Micah 6:9:
�The (Yahweh�s) LORD's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.�
Here is the man of wisdom that�s in the Revelation Letter, the people that have spiritual knowledge, wisdom and understanding. These are the things that we seek; these are the things that we constantly ask for. Now we are, apparently, in the end times and we had better pay attention.
In closing this Bible study let us turn to John 5:43 and see what Yahshua Himself had to say. Our people want to accept Jesus Christ translated to mean �Zeus the healer� but will not accept Yahshua translated to mean �Yahweh is Salvation.�
John 5:43:
�I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name (Zeus the Healer), him ye will receive.�

We know that the word Jesus comes from the Greek Pagan god Es-Zeus; we know that the word Christ comes from the Greek Pagan god Kristos (sometimes spelled Christos); we know that Lord means Baal. So where did the word God come from?
God came from the Hebrew word GAWD; Fortune or Fortuna, a Babylonian deity of good luck. (#1408 and 1409 in Strong�s and also The Two Babylons, pp. 20, 140, 307)
God - Strong�s: #430� 'elohiym (el‑o‑heem'); plural of 433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative: KJV‑‑ angels, X exceeding, God (gods)‑ dess, ‑ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty.
Strong�s: #433 'elowahh (el‑o'‑ah; rarely (shortened) 'eloahh (el‑o'‑ah); probably prolonged (emphat.) from 410; a deity or the Deity: KJV‑‑ God, god. See 430.

What about the word Church? �How to know the True �Church,���One of the first things to be noted is that the word church appearing in our King James Bibles is used for the Greek Ekklesia. Ekklesia means �the called-out ones.� (Ek means out, and Klesia is from the Greek Kalio meaning to call) �Church,� we find, is from the Greek Kyriakon, meaning the worshipers of Kyrios or Zeus.
From the Greek kyriakon it went to the Latin as Circe, then to Scottish as Kirk, and finally to English as church. It means �belonging to Zeus,� or �worshipers of Zeus.� Therefore, church is not a fitting word to describe the followers of Yahshua.
The True Body is better rendered �the called-out ones,� or �assembly.� Just as many high schools will have a calling out of all classes for an assembly in an auditorium, so ancient Israel was called together (kahal in the Hebrew) when some important event warranted a gathering. Most authorities agree that assembly is a better translation of the Greek ekklesia. This group represents people called out of the world for a special purpose.� (Assemblies of Yahweh, How to Know the True Church, Messiah, P.O. Box 578, Columbia, MO 65205, p. 5)
Finally what about the word Christianity?
�The new religion was known as Christianity, because the supreme deity of it was Christos, and so, we ask, Whence came Christos? The Hebrews called their coming Savior the Messiah. The disciples of the Savior accepted Him as such, and to them He was known as Yahshua the Messiah. The Greeks, however, rejected the Hebrew title, and called Him Christos, after the deity savior of the East. Among the people of the East a sun-god savior was worshiped by the name of Krisna, and so among the Greeks of the new religion the Savior was known as Kristos, or Christos. Thus the Sanskrit messiah became the messiah of the new religion, and it was now known as the Christian (Krisna) faith.
�The religion reveled in the Scriptures is the worship of the Creator, whose name alone is Yahweh. Baal is not the Creator, Adonis, is not the Almighty, Pan is not the Holy One, neither is Lord, kurios, or God. Yahweh is the supreme one: Worship Him. The only Savior in the Scriptures is Yahshua, the son of Yahweh; He is the Messiah, the anointed of Yahweh; He came in His Father�s name, and by that we adore Him. Away with the pagan Christ, the heathen Jesus, and exalt the Savior of the world, Yahshua the Son of Yahweh.
�Down with Christianity, with its pagan worship, its pagan deities, its pagan festivals, its pagan doctrine, and back to the old pathway, the highway of holiness, the way of Salvation.
�Our plea today is to consider well His ways. Compare your religion, with the Word, your deity with the Scriptures, your Savior with the revealed texts, and accept the old pathway today as your highway of holiness. Worship Yahweh, the Mighty One of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Israel; follow Yahshua and be sure He is your Savior; and reject all traditions and commandments of men, and worship Yahweh in Spirit and in Truth. May Yahweh bless!� (Is Christianity Pagan? Assembly of Yahweh and of Messiah, Box 1423, Elkhart, Indiana 46515, p. 5)
