The Name of God in the New Testament 

Nehemia is a fraud. There are other examples of vowel points placed onto the Tetragrammaton. Jehovah from the vowels of Eloah, and let them deny it! Jehovih from the vowels of Elohim! YAHWEH from the vowels of Adonay (YaHoWayH, shortened to YAHWAH). Different Hebrew Scriptures are known to have other variations around YHWH of God's name. Don't listen to Nehemia's linguistic gobbly-goop.

Many cristian preacher they did not believe jehovah or yehovah name of god they egnore that nzme only jehovahs wetnesser proclain the name of god throghout the world

**** The messianic prophecy found in Jeremiah 23 teaches us that the Messiah will be God himself. The Sages themselves understood and taught this passage in the same way. Some verses show that the Messiah would also be God… other verses show that He cannot simply be a man. 1. Isaiah 9:6 ‘For a child is born unto us, a son is given unto us; and the government is upon his shoulder; and his name is called Pele-joez-el-gibbor-Abi-ad-sar-shalom;’ This child which is born is called "El-Gibbor", which as I’m sure you know is 'Mighty God' and is never used of a man. Avi-Ad is literally ‘Father of Eternity’ and could never describe a mere man. Some quotes for you… In the Targum of Isaiah we read: "His name has been called from old, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, He who lives forever, the Anointed One (Messiah), in whose days peace shall increase upon us." Midrash Mishle, S. Buber edition: The Messiah is called by eight names: Yinnon, Tzemah, Pele ["Miracle"], Yo'etz ["Counselor"], Mashiah ["Messiah"], El ["God"], Gibbor ["Hero"], andAvi 'Ad Shalom ["Eternal Father of Peace"] The great rabbi Ibn Ezra said: There are some interpreters who say that ‘wonderful, counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father’ are the names of God, and that only ‘prince of peace’ is the name of the child. But according to my view, the right interpretation is that they are all the names of the child. (Walter Riggans, Yeshua Ben David [Wowborough, East Sussex; MARC, 1995], p. 370) Clearly, if this was the only verse, it shows that this child is called God. The Rabbis called the Messiah by the name ‘God’. 2. Jeremiah 23:5-6 'The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness. The Messiah is given the name of God alone. Jehovah. The Midrash on Proverbs 19:21 says ‘Rabbi Hunah said ‘Eight names are given to the Messiah which are Yinnon, Shiloh, David, Menachem, Jehovah, Justi de Nostra, Tzemmach, Elias.’ The Midrash on Lam 1:16 says ‘What is the name of the Messiah? Rav Ava ben Kahanna said ‘Jehovah is his name and this is proved by, ‘this is his name… [quoting Jer 23:6].’ So this passage and these Rabbinic quotes show that the Messiah was called Jehovah. No mere man would ever be called by God’s name. 3. Micah 5:2 But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto Me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from ancient days. The Targum Jonathan (second century A. D.) : ‘And You Bethlehem Ephrath, you who were too small to be numbered among the thousands of the house of Judah, From you shall come forth before Me... The Messiah.’ In regards to the Messiah’s human origin He is said to have been born in Bethlehem, but regarding His divine origin He is said to be ‘from old, from ancient days.’ Arnold Fruchenbaum writes ‘The Hebrew for ‘from long ago, from the days of eternity’ are the strongest Hebrew words ever used for eternity past. They are used of God the Father in Psalm 90:2… Again we have a passage which shows that Messiah is to be human - being born at some specific point in time at some specific place - yet having existed since eternity past, and therefore divine.’ 4. Psalm 2:7-12 Messiah would be the Son of God. Therefore He would be divine. And in case you think this isn’t about the Messiah, Rabbi Rashi says ‘Our Rabbis expound it as relating to King Messiah.’ 5. Isaiah 7:14 While you don’t like it, the prophecy shows that a virgin would give birth to a child who is literally, ‘God with us’. The Hebrew word 'Almah' is used in this passage and speaks of a virgin. Arnold Fruchtenbaum writes ‘Since everyone agrees that 'almah' means an unmarried woman, if the woman in Isaiah 7:14 were a non-virgin, then God would be promising a sign involving fornication and illegitimacy. It is unthinkable that God would sanction sin, and in any case, what would be so unusual about an illegitimate baby that could possibly constitute a sign? As far as ancient Jewish writers were concerned, there are no arguments about Isaiah 7:14 predicting a virgin birth… The Jews who made this translation (Septuagint), living much closer to the times of Isaiah than we do today, translated Isaiah 7:14 using the Greek word parthenos which very clearly and exclusively means a virgin. 6. Psalm 110 We know from 1 Kings 2:19 that anyone who sits at the king’s right hand must be equal with the King. This Psalm of David’s speaks of someone other than Jehovah who is "David’s lord". This Lord is both a priest and a king and sits at Jehovah’s right hand. It is a joke to say that this is David himself as David was from not a priest, but was from the tribe of Judah. Nor does he sit at the right hand of God. It is the Messiah who is spoken about in this passage and He is equal to God. 7. Prov 30:4 Here is a riddle for you… It consists of 6 questions. The first 4 questions are obviously about God Himself as only God could accomplish these things. The fifth question asks what the name of God is. I’m sure you can answer this one. The sixth question reveals that God has a Son! And it asks what His name is! Oh, oh! I know, I know. The Messiah is the son of God and His name is Jesus! 8. Psalm 45:6-7 Elohim is applied to two divine personalities in the same verse! The second Elohim is called the God of the first Elohim! Only makes sense in terms of the Messiah being God, the son of God as other verses have shown! 9. Hosea 1:7 We see the same thing where the speaker (God - Elohim) will save them by the Jehovah, their Elohim. Elohim is again spoken of as two distinct personalities. Another example is Gen 19:24. 10. Zech 2:10-11 Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,” declares the LORD. “Many nations will be joined with the LORD in that day and will become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.’ The LORD is going to dwell amongst us and it is the LORD Almighty that sent Him! **** Can it get any clearer? This shows the YHWH sent YHWH and only makes sense when you know that the Messiah Jesus is God! He is the one who lived amongst us. He is ‘God with us!’ That is why in the Shema, ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one!’, the ‘our God’ part is plural in the Hebrew (literally ‘our Gods’ and the word for ‘one’ is echad - a compound unity, not absolute unity as in the word ‘yachid’.) Arnold writes ‘If Moses had intended to teach God’s absolute oneness as opposed to His compound oneness, this would have been a far more appropriate word (yachid) to use.’ *** But he didn’t! He used echad which is used in such passages as Gen 1:5 where evening and morning are called one (echad’) day. Gen 2:24 where when man and woman come together in marriage and are called ‘one flesh’. Ezra 2:64 where the whole assembly was one, though ofcourse it comprised of many people. Or Ezek 37:17 where the two sticks are combined to become one. These are all uses of echad and show that it is a compound unity. Even in the Old Testament there are three distinct personalities that are co-equal (of the same essence, of the same nature) that are considered divine. 1. The Lord YHWH 2. The Angel of YHWH 3. The Spirit of God. The Angel of the Lord is clearly seen to be divine in passages such as Gen 16:7-14, Gen 22:9-16, Gen 31:11-13, 32:24-30, Ex 3:1-5, Judges 6:11-24 amongst others. These passages show that ‘The Angel of the Lord’ is much more than just an angel and is a fulfillment of the Micah prophecy about the Messiah ‘whose goings forth have been from eternity.’ The Spirit of God is clearly divine in such passages as Gen 1:2, Psalm 51:11, Isaiah 11:2, Isaiah 63:10, Isaiah 63:14 amongst others. Arnold writes ‘The Holy Spirit cannot be a mere emanation because, as can be seen in these quotations, He has all the characteristics of personality - intellect, emotion and will - and is considered divine.’ Arnold points out that all three personalities are used in the same passage such as Isa 48:12-16 where God the creator of the earth is speaking and says that He has been sent by another, Jehovah, together with a third person, the Spirit of Jehovah. This is the trinity! And it is clearly seen in the Tanach. The three are seen also in Isaiah 63:7-14.

We have an unpublished clip from one of our DVD series on that subject. We'll bump it up in the schedule for next week!

There's a good chance it was removed from the Greek around the same time it was removed from the Septuagint. The Septuagint manuscripts we have from the Dead Sea Scrolls have the name in Paleo-Hebrew where the transmitted Septuagint has "kurios" (lord)

@@SepticFuddy If I understand you, it is your belief the absence of "YHWH" in the NT is due to the fence around Torah. To wit, the changes made to the Septuagint, from paleo "YHWH" to "kurios." In which case, during the course of the centuries immediately prior to the 1st century, this fence around Torah looks to have been put into effect. The NT writers, then, were following this tradition.

@@seankennedy4284 You misunderstand. The standard version of the Septuagint with "kurios" is from several centuries later, even after Constantine. The Dead Sea Scrolls variant with Paleo-Hebrew is more contemporary with the original NT writings. Rabbis were being martyred by the Romans for pronouncing YHVH as it is written at least a century after Yeshua's time, which is the reason the ban was later instituted. There was no such ban in the 1st century, except among the Samaritans, who were the earliest to ban it. Most likely, the NT writers included YHVH, and later scribes substituted it for "kurios" in both the NT and LXX well after the Rabbis had already instituted the ban. Our earliest manuscripts (outside of the Dead Sea Scrolls LXX) post-date that later censorship, although there are some earlier LXX fragments written by non-Hebrew scribes that used other methods to represent the Tetragrammaton, such as "pi-iota-pi-iota" (which is graphically similar to the contemporary Hebrew Tetragrammaton).

No need to yell tho.

Exodus 3:15 And Elohim said further to Mosheh, “Thus you are to say to the children of Yisra’ěl, ‘יהוה Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Aḇraham, the Elohim of Yitsḥaq, and the Elohim of Ya‛aqoḇ, has sent me to you. This is My Name forever, and this is My remembrance to all generations.’

@@SepticFuddy the tetragrammaton links to "I am who I am" or "I am who I want to be" which hints to what I said. You cannot give G'd a name like you give a human or an animal a name. God cannot be fathomed as a name.

@@RudydeGroot YHVH is a combination "hayah" (he was), "hoveh" (he is), and "yihyeh" (he will be). "Ehyeh asher ehyeh" (I will be who I will be) is a reference to the Tetragrammaton, not the other way around, which is why he clarifies it literally right after and says "This is My name forever". He explicitly gives HIMSELF that name, and never once insinuates anything about being unable to name. He commands us to swear in that name (Deu 6:13). YHVH occurs about 6828 times in the Hebrew Bible, which is an average of 7x per page depending on the printing, and several times more than every other divine title combined. Most English translations render it as LORD or Lord GOD, the all-caps representing YHVH in the Hebrew text. YHVH is His name. He explicitly says as such in Scripture. You are inserting an interpretation that is contrary to what Scripture could not possibly have more plainly stated.

@@SepticFuddy as I said: God cannot be fathomed as a name. That's what God basically told Moshe when he asked for His name. I am not contradicting scripture here. G'ds name (His essence) is simply ineffable (there are no vowels) and hence you refer to Him as Lord, God, Yah, Ein Sof, Eternal One, Omnipresent, Creator etc. There are 42 mentions of the tetragrammaton in de hand and head tefillin. So wise man from the past created a mystical poem called Ana Becho'ach (also spelled Ana b’Khoaḥ) where 42 beginning letters from every word is supposed to be a mere spiritual hint of the essence of the Incorporeal One. So go learn that poem to try and draw closer to the Omnipresent to grasp just a hint of the essence of His character.

@@RudydeGroot God told Moshe "This is my name forever." "Swear by this name", "I am YHVH", "YHVH is our God YHVH is one", "YHVH will be one and His name will be one", "Those who call upon the name YHVH will be saved", etc. ad nauseam. You're telling me that Him telling us 'This is My name' really means "I can't be fathomed as a name." You can hand-wave with whatever ridiculous mystical traditions all you want, but that does not change the fact you are directly contradicting God's own blatant words throughout the whole of Scripture. I don't care what some deluded Rabbi says. You're inserting an interpretation not derived from the text that utterly contradicts the text.

Nehemia has debunked this theory in a video called "A Disastrous Misunderstanding of the Name Yehovah". It is based on a serious misunderstanding of Hebrew grammar.

@@SepticFuddy You'd better convince yourself of the truth. Read Isa. XLVII 11 and Ezc. VII 26, HOVaH ='' calamity''. Even the Catholic Church rejects the false, improbable reading Ie-' H***H. Like all orthodox rabbis, conservative and liberal. QED '

@@mihailgae-draghici4864 Hovah does not only mean "destruction" but also "she that is", from two completely different roots. YHVH is derived from 3 forms of the root *hey-yud-hey* which means "to be" (hayah hey-yud-hey "he was", hoveh hey-vav-heh "he is", yihyeh yud-hey-yud-hey "he will be"). Hovah as in destruction derives from the root *hey-vav-heh* and thus has nothing more to do with Yehovah than the English word "assume" as to do with the words "ass", "you" and "me." The perceived similarity is pure coincidence.
