QuestionCan we receive salvation without calling on the Sacred Names, Yahweh and Yahshua the Messiah?Answer The first part of the question is can we know someone intimately without knowing their name? This is a step that we must take to start understanding the importance of names. In Hebrew the name of a person is related to the person's character and in many cases is the recognition of whom they worship. An example of this is Michael which means one who is like EL. Yahweh in Hebrew means one who provides or one who exists. Yahweh is a conjunction of Yahh and hawah. Yahh is the poetic form of Yahweh or the root of Yahweh. Yahh is the family name and hawah represents the purpose of our creator. Hawah means to breathe which is important because it is the breathe of Yahweh that sustains us. When the breathe of Yahweh leaves we die. Yahh is defined in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance by number 3050  Yahh yaw contraction for 03068, and meaning the same, Greek 239  ; TWOT-484b; n pr dei AV-LORD 48, JAH 1; 49 ; 1) Jah (Jehovah in the shortened form) ; 1a) the proper name of the one true God; 1b) used in many compounds; 1b1) names beginning with the letters 'Je'; 1b2) names ending with 'iah' or 'jah' Yahweh is defined in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance by number 3068  Yahovah yeh-ho-vaw' from 01961; TWOT-484a; n pr dei AV-LORD 6510, GOD 4, JEHOVAH 4, variant 1; 6519 Jehovah =" the existing One" 1) the proper name of the one true God 1a) unpronounced except with the vowel pointings of 0136 Yahshua is defined in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance by number 3091  Yahowshuwa` yeh-ho-shoo'-ah or  Yahowshu`a yeh-ho-shoo'-ah from 03068 and 03467, Greek 2424  and 919  ; AV-Joshua 218; 218 Joshua or Jehoshua =" Jehovah is salvation" n pr m 1) 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) son of Jehozadak and high priest after the restoration 4) governor of Jerusalem under king Josiah who gave his name to a gate of the city of Jerusalem Hawah is defined in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance by number 1933 and 1944  hawah to breathe, to be, (in the sense of existence) Jehovah means bringer of ruin. Hovah is defined in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance by number 1943 and has been translated as ruin and mischief. This is one of the many reasons that Jehovah is not ever used by PaleoTimes.org as an alternative for Yahweh. Not to mention the J are about as old as Columbus in the English language and have never existed in the Hebrew language. Yahweh will become what his people need of him. Yahshua means Yahweh is salvation. Jesus doesn't mean this in any language. Rather than trying to change Yahweh and Yahshua to fit our needs we should strive to become more like Yahshua. We should walk the path that Yahweh has given us. This is to confirm that we love Yahweh and Yahshua. The second part of this question was does it lead to salvation or is it required for salvation to call upon the name Yahweh and be baptized in Yahshua's name? Please look at these scriptures: And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of Yahweh. (Genesis 4:26 AV) Men began to call on Yahweh early in the scriptures. Moses used the name Yahweh through out the Torah starting in Genesis 2:4. And call ye on the name of your deities, and I will call on the name of Yahweh: and the Elohim that answereth by fire, let him be Elohim. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken. And Eliyah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your deities, but put no fire under. (1 Kings 18:24-25 AV) This is an excellent example of the power of Almighty Yahweh because Eliyah went to great extremes to make wood on the altar inflammable. Yahweh showed that day to all the worshippers of Baal that there is only one true EL and His name is Yahweh. This demonstrated that Eliyah didn't use any trickery to show Yahweh's power. Notice that he called on Yahweh and the pagan prophets called on Baal. So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. Turn us again, O Yahweh Elohim of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. (Psalms 80:18-19 AV) 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. (Psalms 72:17 AV) And in that day shall ye say, Praise Yahweh, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted. (Isaiah 12:4 AV) Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate. (Jeremiah 10:25 AV) And it shall come 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 whom Yahweh shall call. (Joel 2:32 AV) For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Yahweh, to serve him with one consent. (Zephaniah 3:9 AV) And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, Yahweh is my Elohim. (Zechariah 13:9 AV) Then they that feared Yahweh spake often one to another: and Yahweh hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared Yahweh, and that thought upon his name. (Malachi 3:16 AV) Yahweh is truly a name that is to be called upon when we refer to our heavenly father. Why should we not call upon Yahweh's name? Isn't Yahweh's name in our Savior's name? What better way than to use our Master's name to show him that we know him. If we call on His name we should then also be concerned that we keep all Yahweh's laws and that we are an example in this world. (Matthew 5:14-16) Yahweh's Kingdom is coming and we must make ourselves ready with Yahweh's help. One of the greatest sacrifices that Yahweh made was the giving of Yahshua the Messiah. We find throughout the New Testament that we are to be baptized in Yahshua's name. It is important that we enter into baptism ready. As with Yahshua after baptism we are hit with many purifying trials. We must make sure that our baptism is done with the authority and in the name of Yahshua the Messiah. Please read the following scriptures: And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Yahshua. (Luke 1:31 AV) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Master shall be saved. (Acts 2:21 AV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Master shall be saved. (Romans 10:13 AV) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yahshua the Messiah for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38 AV) But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of Yahweh, and the name of Yahshua the Messiah, they were baptized, both men and women. (Acts 8:12 AV) (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Master Yahshua.) (Acts 8:16 AV) Baptism in the name Jesus doesn't mean that you are baptized in the name Yahshua. Paul talked about only one baptism and that baptism was in the name of Yahshua the Messiah. We must also realize that this should stop baptism into an organization. We are not to baptized into a organization as some would have you believe. We are to be baptized into the body of Messiah. When someone asks why you don't believe that Jesus can substitute for Yahshua let it be known that the scriptures clearly illustrate that we must be baptized into the name Yahshua. The scriptures are clear and when names are used across different languages they are not changed. Yahweh is pronounced Yahweh in English as well as Spanish, French, Russian, Chinese, etc. Some will say that it doesn't matter what you call God because he will know whom you are talking. This is a selfish explanation of why some will not use Yahweh's name. Is not satan a god? "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Messiah, who is the image of Yahweh, should shine unto them." (2 Corinthians 4:4 AV) It is not enough just to believe. Thou believest that there is one Elohim; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. (James 2:19 AV) It is also the third commandment that says not to take Yahweh's name in vain. Not using Yahweh's name is taking it in vain. Isn't the nonuse as bad as the wrongful use? We must be willing to stand up and rejoice before Yahweh through songs of praise. Praise His Holy Name, Halleluyah. As we strive to walk the path of Yahshua we must be willing to do all that is required of us. We must show Yahweh and Yahshua that we are striving to be veritable sons and daughters. We are to be a called out people. The seal of Yahweh is His name. (Rev 7:2,4-9) We must take the stance that if we will consider being called a student of Yahweh then we must become intimate and personal enough to use the Sacred Names. It is a blessing to serve such a wonderful Master. Who shall not fear thee, O Yahweh, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. (Revelation 15:4 AV) |
