Renew Your Mind To Hebraic Understanding
The Hebrew language and culture is the first language and culture of man. There are layers to understanding it. If you seek truth, Truth will help you peel back each layer revealing a deeper understanding of our Creator, Yahuah, who his Chosen people are and His intent and purpose for Creation. The amazing part of this is that Man was on our Creator's mind to make him part of His glorious kingdom. It all started with our forefather Avram/Abraham and a forever covenant.
And the Yahuah said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel. Exodus 34:27
"The Most High Has A Name"
The name of our Creator is not God. The Hebrew word for God is Elohiym or El. Another name used for the Most High is Aluah. The words God and Lord are more like titles, but the Maker and Creator of the heavens and the earth does indeed have a name just like you and me. His name is found in the bible as "Yah" Psalms 68:4. In many translations, this name Yah is written as Jah, but we have learned that there is no letter "J" in the Hebrew alphabet-nor did it exist during the time the Hebrew text was translated into Greek. Our Creator's full name is Yahuah pronounced, (Ya-hu-ah) and is basically translated as "I AM that I AM" or (I will be that I will be) Exodus 3:14. This is exciting because His name indicates His function towards His creation. Our Messiah's name is similar and pronounced, (Ya-hu-sha) and is translated as I AM HE who avenges, defends, delivers, helps, rescues, saves, brings salvation, Savior, and He who brings victory!
The letter J is a more recent addition to the Greek alphabet. Remember, the original Torah (Bible) was written in Hebrew by Hebrew people to Hebrew people. The scriptures have indeed been tampered with. So, from now on when you see these words in your reading, replace the Greek titles and with the proper Hebrew names for the most accurate understanding. The names themselves inform us that Yahuah's people carried His name and always had a need for Yahuah's Salvation (deliverance).
When you have shouted, "Hallelujah!" You were actually saying "HalleluYah", which wonderfully means, "Praise Yah". Or when you said, "Cum Ba Yah Lord, Cum Ba Yah". You were actually saying, "Come By Here Yah, Come By here". Yahuah and Yahusha are the (Restored) Hebrew names of our heavenly Father (Abba) and Son (Ben). How about that!
Disclaimer: No one has complete understandings, names, or pronunciations of Hebrew language and culture. You may hear variations of these and other names. We must all study to show ourselves approved to Yahuah. It's most important to know and follow the Most High and His instructions in Torah to the best of your ability. Hebrew translation for the names of the Father and Son are found in the English translation Cepher Bible.
