The
Name
the facts by Pastor Dowell
This is by no means a comprehensive study of the name of Messiah, though it will help you greatly understand why I continue to use the modern name as well as the Modern Hebrew name [of Messiah]. The Most High has the right to adjust this teaching as He will. He is the One that gives us knowledge and understanding as we go forward. Over four thousand years ago, our ancient Hebrew people heard with their own ears the name of:
Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh and the name YHWH. They heard the Covenant given to them. It was the agreement of this Covenant that would set them apart from all other nations and peoples on earth. They were a chosen and special people to the Creator of the Universe. It was their job to be examples to the nations. It was Yisra’el’s job to teach the other nations about our Father and His Covenant.
1
After many different slaveries, our people have not learned much about Him unless a man from among the people is raised up to teach Yisra’el His ways.
He promised us “Pastor’s according to His heart which would feed His people with His knowledge and understanding”. It is for this purpose and very reason I am here today! I am here to give knowledge and understanding to His people: who you are, and our purpose before that Great Day. After coming out of the largest pagan religion on this earth (Christianity), you will be faced with many different strange doctrines and teachings, and every single one of them will claim, “We are the way!” This is the reason for this newsletter. While I believe His name is very important, many have gone the wrong way and have overthrown the faith of many by making up “another gospel,” meaning they have come up with another way of salvation. Allow me to say that however one may pronounce His name; it is not hard to see that we are all talking about the same One. The real issue should not be over how you say His name, but how you represent His character. Do you keep His words? Do you do the things that He commands you? Are you an obedient servant? Here in America, I could fill up our building with so-called teachers and preachers of this name doctrine, and every one of them will disagree on how you pronounce His name. The real question is what is salvation based upon? Is it based upon the correct pronunciation of His name? Did He ever send the prophets to be messengers of His name? I hope to provide understanding for His people
to stop all of the confusion (at least among us) so that we will no longer be tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive. With this spirit, you have people proclaiming “The book of Hebrews should not be in the Bible.” By this same spirit, you have people calling the Apostle Paul a false apostle. And by this same spirit, there is division among the people of YHWH after they have experienced conversion of heart and Spirit. Someone is waiting to tell you that your salvation is not valid because you did not say His name correctly. This is the doctrine according to a bunch of illiterate, non-Hebrew speaking people. If I were to put a passage of the Modern Hebrew Script in front of these people’s eyes, they would not be able to read it, much less tell you the meaning. Modern Hebrew is not the language that Moses or any of the Holy prophets spoke. Yisra’el, I want you all to know that I will not pretend to be an authority on this subject. I will use something that seems to be lost in the time we are living in: common sense! Much has been taken from us, and we have little time left to learn what we need to learn. For this purpose, I choose to speak only about things that I know. I refuse to stretch myself beyond measure. As your Pastor, chosen by the Most High to lead those who have the ears to hear, I know that He has given me His Spirit of Truth to stop all of the confusion within those who hear me. 2
school of thought Yisra’el, you must understand from the very beginning that we do not process our thoughts from a Biblical perspective. Our modern minds have been conditioned to think from a Western view point, not an Eastern one. Just this statement alone, if you can understand it, is the beginning of your walk through the door. Have you noticed the number of times we are admonished by the Scriptures, as well as the Letters, to have our minds renewed and transformed? We have all grown up in this diaspora. For those of you who do not understand this term, continue reading. Diaspora: Yisra’elites dispersed among foreign nations; dispersed; scattered. You must understand according to the Scriptures, that our ancestors have been in many different slaveries: Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Medes & Persian, Greek & Roman, Arab & European as well as the European Jews and the last slavery before the coming of the King the American captivity i.e. “The Trans-Atlantic Salve Trade of Judah”. They all have one thing in common: every one of these nations have enslaved our ancient people. We have forgotten who we are through the process of assimilation. The prophecies of the Scriptures are very clear and informative as to each of these slaveries. As a result we have had a lot taken from us: our land, heritage, culture, language, and our nationality! “The Scripture’s prophecies all agree to this end”. Once you understand this you will be able to follow the True Spirit of Understanding and not be led astray. 1 3
Let me repeat this again, in part. Here in America, we think from a Western view point and not an Eastern view point. We have been trained in this dispersion to view the world from the American perspective, which is Western thought. The rest of the world does not think like we have been trained to think. You will need to have your minds renewed. These different religions and the perspectives of Christianity all think alike. This is why in function, they cannot perform the work! We have a saying we tell everyone who visits here, “Do the Work!” As dispersed Yisra’elites, we think from an abstract view point and not a solid concrete one. For example, the word “faithful” is an abstract word and cannot be detected by the five senses. You cannot bring an image to mind that will clearly portray the idea of “faithful”. If I give you the word “water,” you could easily think of bodies of water. Why? Because it is concrete, solid. It is something easy to be sensed by the five senses. A minimum of one of the five senses can easily identify water at any given time. When we read our modern English Scriptures, we are reading a translation comprised from a western European perspective. “Abstract” thinking is very vital to understand as we go forward. Have you noticed the confusion of our day? So many people profess Christ, yet they do not do what He says. Everything is mental; it’s all in the mind, and truth is defined in this country as mental ascent. This culture does not function after the thought that you actually have to do something in order to show faith. This is why there are so many arguments among believers. One believes all he has to do is merely give mental accent and he has salvation because this is what the American culture has taught him. I hope you can understand my statement when I say the only way you can understand the Hebrew Scriptures is for the teacher to be a direct descendant of our ancient Hebrew people. When you have a pastor that is a direct bloodline descendant and filled with the Spirit of Yah, you will get a correct perspective and viewpoint. If you are a descendant of another nation and you have come to the faith, you must be taught by
an Yisra’elite who understands the perspective of His people. Here in America, the majority so-called Biblical teachers are of European descent. If you teach school, no matter who you are, you will teach from the same perspective and viewpoint as you have been taught. (Trained)! The only way a man’s mind can be free from this viewpoint is by faith, and the RUWACH must be dealing with him personally. Most of you know what I mean. You look around and see and sense that something is very wrong. Everyone else seems fine, but you are disturbed and cannot find real peace in your heart. YHWH’s Holy Spirit is calling you. You do not understand why you are so different, but you are. So you search until your soul finds rest. That rest will only come when you hear the truth. You’re not alone in this world. The Most High has directed you to His people. There are so few of us. Is this what the Bible says: Just a few? Welcome home Yisra’el. Welcome home. The prophets & the apostles were taught by the Father Himself. It is a very tall order to overcome all of the different perspectives in this world. This is why it is very important to LIVE a set apart life! Why? Because this is what we have been chosen to do while we are in exile to our Father. During the period of slavery, Yisra’elites in America estranged from their culture and faith which some called “religion”, fit the curses brought upon them as listed in Deuteronomy 28:15-68 as well the people the prophets all wrote about. Those who could read the Scriptures accepted the story of Exodus literally. This story of the Yisra’elites escaping from bondage in Egypt (Mitsrayim) became perspective of His people. Here in America, the majority so-called Biblical teachers are of European descent. If you teach school, no matter who you are, you more real to me than to those of European descent because my people were slaves. Jewish folklore has ruled the conscience of people today. Fairy tales of a people who have never been in slavery at any time in history! 4
I realize when I speak of those Europeans who refer to themselves as Jews, I am dealing with a supersensitive area where most people will hear what I did not say while stubbornly refusing to hear what I actually said.
The conversion of the Khazar’s is generally neglected chapter in their history as well as modern day history. The devil must continue to promote this lie in order for the deception to continue to have strength, otherwise it would not be deception.
When I bring public attention to this fact I understand I will be generally labelled as being anti-Semitic. This charge, too often repeated, tends to infer that Jews are not to be judged by the same rules as the rest of us are. This statement of calling these Europeans “The Chosen People,” My question is, “Who did the choosing, and what are they chosen to do?
Once you are taught according to what He has ordained, you can teach the nations because you are an Yisra’elite. Do you see the order? Think! By what order is the “Christian” religion? Rome! There you have the perspective and viewpoint. ACTS 26:24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. ACTS 26:25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
Let’s look at a few Scriptures: JEREMIAH 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. The “I” in this passage of Scripture is the Father. He is the One that will give understanding to us because He is the One that is the giver of every good gift. When He gives you a Pastor, that Pastor will feed you with His knowledge and with His understanding and not the understanding of some Christian, Messianic, or Jew. YHWH is not in any of these manmade religions. You are to follow the WORD of Yah! I believe at this point it is very important for us to understand the word “Jew” and where it originated from. This word is a European creation. Let me also say there are people of the Hebrew faith all over the world of many different colors and many different cultures, our nation is still in exile to our YHWH. There are a variety of people who became followers of the Hebrew faith and are historically known as Jews, but do not share the same history as the ancient Yisra’elites depicted in the Torah Old Testament. The conversion of the Khazar’s is generally neglected chapter in their history as as modern day history. The devil must continue to promote this lie in order for the deception to continue to have strength, otherwise it would not be deception. 335
When you are set apart, it is not uncommon for you to be called mad. The people around y ou think and function after a different perspective. They have a totally different view of life. You understand where they are coming from because you have come out of their mind-set. If the Most High does not open their understanding, then you cannot help them. He is the One who chose us. Our job is to discern from the Spirit if the Father has opened the understanding of those to whom we speak. If so, then you can feed them with knowledge, but if the Father has not chosen them, then you cannot help them. Remember the teachings. I CORINTHIANS 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. I CORINTHIANS 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Yisra’el, do not go around beating people with this word. Simply try and discern to see if the Father is dealing with them. Are they Yisra’elites or Gentiles? Now with this ground work laid, let’s go into the teaching.

YHVH
Yah ho shua
We live in a time of knowledge of good and evil. Our enemy, naturally and spiritually, has not stopped in his quest to deceive the hearts and minds of the Most High’s people. Many gospels and many ways to get to the Father are now being presented to those who want to know the truth and are tired of all the lies and deceptions.
Seventeen years ago, I was confronted by a few people in a certain group that told me that His name was not Jesus. Of course, that was not hard for me to accept; I already knew that Jesus was the English translation of His Hebrew name Yah ho shua. I had previously learned that there was not a “J” in the 1611 King James Version of the Scriptures. Remember: I’ve already stated that we could fill up our building with people who would disagree to even the spelling that I have chosen to use here. But let’s move on. 7
They expressed to me that I could not be saved, nor have I ever been saved calling upon the name of Jesus. I quickly disagreed with them. Why? The first thing I asked them was “Have you received the “Ruwach” since you have believed? Of course they told me, “Yes.” I proceeded to ask them “How do you know that you have received the “Ruwach?” They, of course, said “We know the truth.” I said, “You have not received Him nor do you know Him!” To make a long story short, I decided to do what I have always done when presented with something new; I did not totally disregard the conversation, but I did want to know why they believe that way. Even then I was amazed at how many teachings there were out there against the name of Jesus. Now with the advent of YouTube, Facebook, and other social networks, we are faced with a bunch of so-called teachers expressing their form of truth.
illiterate / literacy Literacy is the ability to read and write coherently, along with the ability to understand all forms of communication in a language. 99% of the people in America cannot read the Modern Hebrew Script.
Therefore they are illiterate and they are not an authority on the language, and neither am I. Therefore, they are not in a position to teach anyone what they believe His name to be, yet still will not stop their false doctrine.
masoretic text
the name of the LORD is a strong tower the righteous run to it and are safe The Grecians adopted the Old-Hebrew alphabet through the Phoenicians. The Phoenicians used the same alphabet as the Hebrews. The ancient Hebrew alphabet was read from right to left and the old ancient Greek alphabet was written from left to right. The Grecians retained the ancient Hebrew alphabet. They reversed it because of their culture. Over the centuries, the Hebrew, as well as the Greek, letters evolved into the form we see and use today. There is not a person alive today that heard the Most High speak His name to the ancient Hebrew Yisra’elites. Much has been lost because of the many different slaveries that the ancient Yisra’elites have been in. As a result of these slaveries, our ancestors lost their language, heritage, and culture through the process of assimilation. The English alphabet is Roman in nature. The Romans adopted the Greek alphabet. Throughout all of the slaveries of the ancient Yisra’elites dating back to Egypt, our ancient alphabet has gone through many different changes. So our ancient Hebrew has turned/evolved/changed from then to now.
The modern day Hebrew language is a Babylonian, Germanic, and Yiddish language of the Gentiles who are Ashkenazi according to: GENESIS 10:2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. GENESIS 10:3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. GENESIS 10:4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. GENESIS 10:5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. 8
Because of prophecy, the seed of Japheth has enlarged himself, just as the Scriptures have said:
GENESIS 9:27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwel in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. The so-called Hebrew language as we know it today is not a pure language. If Moses or any of our ancient Yisra’elite people were here today, they would not be able to understand one word that is being uttered. This information is not hard to understand for those who have the “RUWACH” Spirit and the power of YHWH operating in their lives.
Japheth (1st born) Gomer (Germany, Crimea, Cambria, Celtis) Ashkenaz (Germany, Saxons, Scandavia) Ridpath (Carpathians) Togarmath (Armenians) Magog (Georgia, Scythians) Madai (Medes, Aryans, Indians of India) Javan (Ionians, Greeks, the coastlands) Elishah (Hellas) Tarshish (Spain) Kittim (Cyprus) Dodarim (Rhodes) Tubal (Tobolsky) Meshech (Moscow) Tiras (Thrace, Teutons)
By the time that our people were in the Babylonian captivity, our language no longer resembled the alphabet of our ancient ancestors. Today’s Modern Hebrew in its present form is a part of the square script adopted from Babylon during this captivity. We have adopted the English alphabet and language during this modern day captivity. Many of the arguments we are faced with today are from people who refuse to acknowledge the truth of the facts presented. There are many different reasons and motivations, and I have not yet discovered them all. These men are looking for a doctrine of their own to say, “Nobody is preaching this.” What they are really saying is “We are right so you will have to listen to us.” Here we are at the end of the nineteenth century with the Modern Hebrew script being well established. 79
In the Sinai Peninsula, many Egyptologists discovered the Shemitic-pictographic Hebrew alphabet. Did you notice I wrote the word “Shemitic” and not “Semitic”? If you go back to the table of nations and read Genesis, you would discover that Shem is the father of all Hebrew people: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Joseph, Moses, David, Jesus, Peter and Paul. They were all Hebrew. Jacob, when he had his name changed to Yisra’el, birthed our nation.

Abraham is the father of our faith, yet he was not an Israelite. Isaac proceeded him and he was a Hebrew, but he was not an Yisra’elite either. Jacob had his name changed to Yisra’el and out of him came the twelve tribes of Yisra’el. These men were not Semitic. You must understand that our ancient people where not Zionist, nor were they so-called “Jews.” Zionism is the religion of the State called Yisra’el and determined by Great Britain and the United States in 1948 under the League of Nations.
The “Jews” are transplanted people who came from the Caucus Mountains in Russia, via Germany. These are called “Jews,” not because they have any genetic link to Abraham, Isaac or Jacob. They do not! They are not direct bloodline descendants of our fathers. These are the seed of Japheth and the entire world has promoted this lie for centuries. The majority of people who are of European descent cannot tell this truth, for some spiritual reason they will not. I do not understand why if they claim to have the Spirit of Truth operating in their lives, why is it so painful for them to acknowledge this fact. I believe it’s spiritual to the core. 10
Much of the evolution of Judaism as it is known today, is the hands of so-called Jewish historians, scholars, and interpreters of Jewish history. In 70 A.D. the Romans sac the temple and the conquered “Roman homeland,” commonly called Palestine, was ruled by the Romans for a total of 711 years with 570 of those years was direct rule. Unsuspecting minds are not familiar with the deception that has taken place today. The King James Version of the Bible, although not perfect, is a very good translation of our ancient prophets. You will have to become a student and look behind almost every word presented to you in English in order to gain a proper understanding of our History. Today people have replaced the word “Shem” with the word “Semitic.” A real, true Semitic/Shemitic people are those who are direct descendants from Shem, not Japheth. This is the painful truth. So the real question is for the people who call themselves Jews today: are they Shemitic? It is not hate speech to tell the truth. These are Ashkenazi. If we stick with the facts, using today’s terms, the real anti-Semites are those who came out of Europe and settled in Palestine, and now call themselves the true Jews, In truth, they were converted to the religion of Judaism, a religion Moses was not familiar with. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have swallowed this lie hook, line, and sinker, as they also have swallowed the religion of Rome called Christianity. I guess the only evil I can be accused of is telling the truth. And if the truth is evil, then I do not want to be right. Truth always sets us all free if we can embrace it and love it. I have not physically hurt one person but the words of truth always cut like a knife. If I have hurt anyone by telling the truth, I cannot apologize. All people must know that there is a pastor that will not sell the truth out. The pictographic inscriptions written on stone which have been discovered were pictures of the names of Hebrew letters. The image of an ox head is the first letter of the ancient pictographic Shemtic alphabet called “Aleph.” Aleph has evolved into the Greek “Alpha”. The ancient Shemitic Hebrew alphabet evolved into the Pictographic Hebraic and to the Phoenician, which is nothing more than the old Hebrew alphabet. 11
From Wikipedia: Literacy represents the lifelong, intellectual process of gaining meaning from print. Key to all literacy is reading development, which involves a progression of skills that begins with the ability to understand spoken words and decode written words, and culminates in the deep understanding of text. Reading development involves a range of complex language underpinnings including awareness of speech sounds (phonology), spelling patterns (orthography), word meaning (semantics), grammar (syntax) and patterns of word formation (morphology), all of which provide a necessary platform for reading fluency and comprehension. Once these skills are acquired the reader can attain full language literacy, which includes the abilities to approach printed material with critical analysis, inference and synthesis; to write with accuracy and coherence; and to use information and insights from text as the basis for informed decisions and creative thought.
The
Name
Zeus Is Not
There are many different theories and assertions, which is exactly what they are. You cannot allow yourself to be deceived by illiterate, uneducated people who present theories that sound good to the ears, but they are not backed up by any facts. Let me try my best to define transliteration. It’s the representation of sounds from a word in its native tongue to another word of another language using the closest corresponding sound in the varying tongue. The majority of people who fight against the name of Jesus are not linguist nor do they have a command of any language at all.
The Greek spelling of the name Zeus is spelled DIOS. The name Zeus is actually spelled and wirtten with a “D”. Here is an inscription in Athens, Greece.
This is how Wikipedia writes Temple of Olympian Zeus. The Temple of Olympian Zeus (Greek: Ναός του Ολυμπίου Διός, Naos tou Olympiou Dios) Here we see the actual spelling is Dios and not Jeus or Iesou. I have learned over the years that when people are offended, they will stretch themselves in order to vent out their bitterness. You must always stick to the facts and not theories, words, or statements that sound good to your ears. 13
Before I go any further, let me also state for the record that for the past twenty years I have made a lot of efforts to prayerfully research and search out the matter of things before I adopt a position. The Most High does not give us all the truth at one time, so I have always kept myself with an open mind which gives me the ability to be able to accept the truth as it comes. I realize I have a lot of people that listen to me and believe me to be their pastor, a responsibility I do not take lightly. I am not about to adopt a position on something because it is popular. The Spirit that is Holy will lead us into all Truth. We are commanded to prove all things and hold fast to that which is good.
HEBREW LEXICON STRONG'S NUMBER 3442 JESHUA 3442 Yeshuwa' {yay-shoo'-ah} Jeshua = "he is saved"
The name written (on the left) is the Modern Hebrew Script name Joshua. This name is present without the vowel points which were added by the Masoretic’s much later. Remember, our ancient Hebraic language did not have vowels in it, a fact you will not hear from those who oppose the modern letter “J”. The vowels were later added. This is a very important point to remember because a lot of people today are so dogmatic concerning pronunciation and spelling. Please do not forget that fact!
HEBREW LEXICON STRONG'S NUMBER 3091 JOSHUA 3091 Yhowshuwa' {yeh-ho-shoo'-ah} or Yhowshu'a {yeh-ho-shoo'-ah} Joshua or Jehoshuah = "Jehovah is salvation" After the Babylonian slavery, or “captivity,” the name Joshua was changed and evolved because our people were taken out of our land much like today. The Gentiles have trodden down our land [Jerusalem] until this day, and will continue to do so until the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled. Because of their
disobedience, our ancient Hebrew people went into the Babylonian slavery. As a result, the spelling changed from Yah-hu-shooa to Yeh-ho-shua. This is the very reason why you will hear people choose to pronounce His Hebrew name as “Yehshua” instead of “Yahshua”. This depends on what is accepted and what clearance you have in your personal conscience. 14
Today, in the so-called country Yisra’el, they pronounce the name Joshua as “Yehshua”. Remember, we are talking about a nation that has been established by the crown, Great Britain, and its side kick, the United States of America. It was these two countries who in 1948, under the “League of Nations”, chose to take a group of people calling themselves Jews, the “Ashkenazi” descendants from the land of the “Khazars” in Southern Russia. This land extended from the Caspian Sea to the Black Sea, as far as Crimea. They are natives of the Caucus Mountains. They are Gentiles. I would like to inform you that this information is not new, but an old affidavit that has been systematically kept from the public, especially by Messianic groups. Their perception is modernly appealing because we live in a world ruled by the European gentiles, but this deception merely rest upon an assumption. The real tragedy is that we have been trained to manipulate our minds to exclude truth from our conscience. We must hear from a Yah-sent Pastor.
15
There are a lot of Scriptural facts and secrets concerning our ancient faith that are covered up for fear that it will destabilize or undermine Europe’s ethnocentrism, especially concerning who are the real blood line descendants of Abraham. These are the same people who called themselves Israelis. They were transplanted into the land of Palestine by the powers that be in 1948 and they call the land Israel. Much confusion has risen and because of this; today’s people are totally ignorant of History. Read the Scriptures. You will find out that Yisra’el is a people. They are direct bloodline descendants from Jacob. They are not, nor have they ever been, a land mass. Yisra’el is a people! Today we are scattered into every single nation on this earth. We are in exile to YHWH. This is a very important fact you must understand if not you will remain under the deception and illusion of American Christian pastors as well as those who called themselves Messianic. These people, in the country that America and Great Britain has set up, reject our Messiah, our Salvation, Yahshua.
Personally, I cannot accept what this country gives out, especially the rejection of our people, King and soon coming Saviour. I chose to pronounce His name if I am going to use the Hebrew form as “Yahshua” (this would be the pre-Babylonian name). I am not fully convinced of the name “Adonay”. I know for a fact there were not any vowels in our ancient Hebrew language. It’s very easy for me to accept YHWH. Let me also add that twenty something years ago, before I even knew what people would call His name, I was in prayer and asked the Father what was His name and it came into my mind and conscience as “YHWH”. I have not moved from it. I am amazed that over the years I have gained much more knowledge and everything that I have researched still points back to the name I received over twenty years ago. All praises due to His name.
I repeat again, transliteration is the representation of the sounds from one word in its native tongue to another word in another language using the closest corresponding sound.
Okay, so we have His name in the Modern Hebrew Script as
The Greek name IESOU is the closest corresponding sound. I looked on Google and found a chart which is made by a man I know personally (Richard Rives). I have chosen to use this chart because he did a very good job showing us a clear cut example of transliteration. Note: he is using Yehshua and I chose to use Yahshua, but I think you will get the understanding.
And in the Modern Greek Script its:
The translators of the King James Version of the Bible chose to use the transliteration name of the Babylonian slavery (captivity) Yehshua. As a result of this transliteration, the representation of the sounds of the Modern Hebrew as we know it are Yehshua or Yeshua.
As we can see, there is not a Greek character for the Modern Hebrew “Ayin”. Also, the “SH” was dropped because there is not a Greek character for the Modern Hebrew “Shin”. There is not a word play going on here: it’s just the facts. The Modern Hebrew “YEH” is equivalent to the Modern Greek “IE.” Greek names end in “S”. Which indicates a name! The “O” was dropped in the Modern King James Version 1611 of the Bible given us the name “IESUS”. 16
above: Old English Alphabet. source: http://www.6nc.org/about6nc/alphabet.html
It is a fact: there is not a “J” in the Old English language. It is also a fact, many will not be willing to tell you. They are trying to make their point why you should not use the name of “Jesus”. There are no vowels in ancient Hebrew! So why do we use vowels today? Because language has evolved. There is much confusion today as to what His name is because many are making it a doctrine of salvation. You are not saved because you cannot pronounce His name or because you make an attempt to pronounce His name right! You are saved (you have salvation) as long as you trust in the WORK Yahshua/Jesus did for you. He alone paid the penalty for our sins. It is His righteousness that atoned and reconciled us back to the Father. All one has to do is understand the Tabernacle services and understand what Yahshua/Jesus did for us.
Majority are at best speaking a bunch of broken Hebrew and are totally illiterate of our ancient Hebrew language as well as the Modern Hebrew language. I personally do not believe that Jesus is from the word Zeus. Let’s compare the translation of Iesous in Hebrew, by looking at examples of other Greek words translated from Hebrew; we find:

It is who He is, what He did, the power through His name, and the strength of His sacrifice which represents His character that gives us access to the Father. His righteousness and His blood is now applied to the Mercy Seat to atone for our transgressions. For this I am very thankful and you should be too.

Look at the first page of the Greek Lexicon Jesus is the English version of Iesous. In the in your Strong's concordance if you want King James Version 1611 (in the so-called confirmation of the sounds of these Greek New Testament), if it had been translated from letters. Hebrew instead of Greek, it would be Yeshua because this is what they chose to translate Another important point is that the His name into in the versions we have Septuagint, a Greek translation of the available to us today. Again, let me state that Hebrew scriptures, was completed many personally, I choose to use Yahshua/Yahushua years before Yahushua came to earth. It because of Psalms 68:4 and it is my personal rendered the Hebrew name "Yahushua" conviction that the Father’s name is YHWH as IhsouV (Iesous). according to Exodus 3. This fact alone clearly Before the Babylonian PSALMS 68:4 demonstrates that "Iesous" slavery, Yisra’el’s children Sing unto God, sing praises to is a Greek of and would have said Yahshua wasn't a form invented instead of Yeshua which is his name: extol him that rideth by apostate Christians used modernly today. upon the heavens by his name who wanted to honor JAH, and rejoice before him. While there are some Zeus in some way. out there claiming that "Jesus" is somehow derived from "Zeus", I People, it is very hard not to see, unless have yet to find anyone who is willing to you chose to be willingly blind to the facts. present hard evidence for this claim. One Those who choose to say His name, be it person wrote a book in which they claimed Jesus, Yahsuha, Yeshua, Yah ho shua etc… that "Iesous" means "Hail Zeus". When I It’s hard to miss the fact, that HE is the contacted him by phone and asked him for same person who fits all prophecy’s and evidence of this claim, he said "Iesous" means He accomplished what all of the ancient "Hail Zeus" in the sense that when you say Holy prophets said that he would. the "Ie" it sounds like "Yaayy" and "Yaayy" is what people do in modern sports games Zeus is not pronounced as “Zoos”. when they hail their team. Thus the statement The letter “Z” actually sounded like the that "Iesous" meant "Hail Zeus" had nothing “D” much like in the Spanish tongues the to do with its meaning in the Greek language. “J” has a YAN sound of the English “Y”. A Spanish person whose name is Juan In fact, the Greek language spells Zeus would be, pronounced John in English. (#2203 in the Strong's Lexicon) as ZeuV and it doesn't have the same letters or sound as Also, the diphthongs, “ou”, in Iesous the second syllable in IhsouV (Iesous). First of is pronounced “oo”, but “eu” would all, the “Z” in ZeuV produces a "dz" sound, be pronounced as “eh-uh”. not an "s" sound. Also the “eu” combination in ZeuV sounds like "eu as in feud", a letter Every word can be translated or combination not found in any form of transliterated from one language to the IhsouV/Iesous. ZeuV is actually pronounced next, but the rules of grammar must be "Dzyooce" and not "Sooce". followed. In the book of Revelation the words Apollyon and Abbadon mean the These things alone make it appear quite exact same thing: DESTROYER! impossible that Iesous comes from "Zeus". 18
REVELATION 9:11 And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon. Let me also say that there are many people with arguments concerning this subject. I have seen over the years that those with the argument are always at the mercy of those with the experience. Many have gone so far as to make up arguments such as, “Every name remains the same no matter what language you go to!” This is a false, nonsensical statement. In English my name is Charles, but in Spanish it’s Carlos. Not one person today was around 4,000 years ago when Yisra’el’s children heard the name of the Most High. The best we all can do today is pronounce His name as best as we can. For someone to go around and act like they have the market cornered on His name is foolish. His name is so powerful that the very mention of it would cause the elements to shake and the earth to move. I personally do not know one person (anyone) today that can do that. There are many who profess to know His name but they refuse to do His works, or either they lack power of the RUWACH working in their lives. The “Mashiyach” [Messiah], the Father, is the One who chooses by His sovereign will those who are His. His people possess His character and His power works in their lives. Remember: signs follow them that believe! If a preacher really knows the Father, his words will be backed up by more than just words. The Father will confirm his words with signs following. 19
Religion cannot produce the power of Yah. As a result, they produce philosophies, contentions, and arguments in order to establish what they call truth and to deceive unsuspecting minds. The Apostle said in his letter to the Ephesians:
EPHESIANS 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; EPHESIANS 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: EPHESIANS 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: EPHESIANS 4:14 That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; EPHESIANS 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ: EPHESIANS 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
We all need to face the truth. I repeat again, there are certain secrets and facts concerning our ancient faith and the Scriptures that are modernly covered up for the fear it will destabilize or undermine the powers that be in today system of corruption and lies. Collusion is practiced in almost every single religion and nation today. If it’s not someone wanting to corner the market on truth that they have and no one else has it, then it’s the system of Christianity and Messianic Judasim. These two religions have an unspoken agreement, through their theology and secretive press down of unspoken truth and facts by deceiving, misleading, and defrauding others of the real truth because it does not fit their doctrine. The Messianics are chief in this trespass, simply because they will not tell the truth of the Torah to the people. I have a firm conviction that the only way the people of today are going to get the real truth - it must come from a real bloodline descendant of the ancient Hebrew Yisra‘elites. It is not a secret that the Europeans are ruling the world today, and as a result, they are also ruling the knowledge that is allowed into the open public. It takes the Holy Spirit to transcend these racial barriers and reveal the truth especially if that truth has to do with the real Biblical Hebrew Yisra‘elites according to Scriptures. Interchangeable letters: for understanding, the ancient letter “K” was exchanged for the “H”. The letter “I” is exchanged for “Y,” and also the letter “A”. References for this understanding can be found in “The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, Jones’ Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names”.
I do not believe for one minute that the name of Jesus derives from some false god, nor do I believe that there is anything wrong with it. As a matter of fact, I have healed many and cast out many devils/demons in the name of Jesus. I know that it is the Father that is doing the healing, not me! When I say I have healed many, I am saying He has chosen to use me. I personally cannot heal one person, the Most High has chosen to use His vessels in His work. Most people who argue against using the name of Jesus have not ever cast out one devil calling upon any of the so-called names that they use. It is remarkable that the unseen spirit realm fears, trembles, and quakes at the name of Jesus. If man cannot understand that simple fact, it is none of my business. I use and will continue to use the name of Jesus. The English name Jesus is an excellent transliteration of the Hebrew name Yeshua. I personally chose to use what I believe to be the ancient name of Yahshua before the Babylonian slavery, rather than Yeshua, which was used during the Babylonian slavery and is still in use today after the Babylonian slavery. There is such an attack on our Messiah “Christ” today. The enemy does not care how he does this. All he is concerned about is keeping the division going any way he can. Many well meaning people in their zeal disparage the use of the word “Christ” as well. Saints, there is no need to be pedantic in this regard. There is much to be desired in this late hour we are in. The enemy of our soul is a master at division and deception. He is also a master of withholding information. He has people in this world who willingly serve him at his will, and the rest who have not turned from their sins, all under his control and Sa’tan can use them anytime he likes.
Learning is a very steep curve and no one will ever know all the truth until they meet Him for themselves. Until then, there is much to be desired and much to learn. I personally use the name of The word “Christ” simply means “Anointed one”, in Jesus simply because I speak English. As I learn the very same way that the word “Mashiah” does. more about our ancient language, I apply it. I am sure you have heard me over and over again 20
test the boast of those who only have mental accent and do not have the power of Yah operating in their lives. Did not the Messiah come to heal, deliver, and set the captivities free? Did not He say that we should do the same thing once we are empowered by the Holy Spirit? Paul, in his instructions to Titus, constantly told them what they needed to watch out for. Listen to his very sound and sobering words:
TITUS 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. TITUS 1:15 Unto the pure all things [are] pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. TITUS 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. How many people today profess to know Yah? Yet there is not any work that backs up their testimony? All they have are words, no power by the RUWACH. I’ve watched people be very adamant and insist on referring to Jesus as “Yeshua”, and they insist people should drop the name of Jesus altogether. I am not of this thought. Again, the one with the argument is always at the mercy of the one with the experience. Yahshua healed the sick and He testified that His power came from the Father. 21
I teach all of Yahshuas’ disciples in this time the same. We should do the works because they testify who we represent. Remember, Sa’tan cannot cast out Sa’tan. We oppose Sa’tan’s kingdom. I teach people to fiercely attack his kingdom every single chance they get. It’s very easy to be religious, but it is very hard to live in this faith. People have become bitter against the religion of Christianity. I personally am not bitter against this religion. I do feel very sorry for those who remain under the delusion and deception of this Roman creation. The name Yeshua was not incorrectly transliterated. There is not any proof, just arguments founded, upon theories, pertaining to that statement. After spending much time and research and as one that loves the truth, it’s not hard to see that my steps and lifestyle show that I am one who loves the truth and will follow the truth without fail. I still have much to learn. However, I am a student of the Scriptures. I am very slow to adopt a position just because it sounds good. All of my research shows that those who push that His name must be said like they say it is founded on faulty linguistics and esoteric doctrine. Many in this movement which I refer to as “the other gospel” go so far as to say you must pronounce the Sacred Name correctly! This is utter foolishness. The Modern Hebrew known to us today is a Yiddish, Germanic, Babylonian language. It is not pure nor is the English language. Yet when we all speak we can understand each other. The Most High understands every single word we speak and He alone understands the communication of our hearts. My case in point is we should not allow ourselves to get caught up or hung up on pronunciation of Hebrew. Do not become Gnostics! Jesus Christ is a very good translation and we all should pay attention to His role as the “Anointed King of Yisra’el” who is soon to come. Be at peace and DO THE WORK!
Because our people have been through many different slaveries, commonly called “captivities”, much has been lost of our ancient heritage, culture and language. After all, the so-called Jews that the world accepts today do not fit one Biblical prophecy, only Genesis 9:
GENESIS 9:27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. Revisit: according to the “table of Nations” these are of the seed of Japheth.
GENESIS 10:2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. GENESIS 10:3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. GENESIS 10:4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. GENESIS 10:5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. This is the real-true identity of the people today who call themselves Jews. My people have been in slavery for a very long time. When we read the History of the ancient Hebrews, they went into these captivities simply because they did not want to keep the Most Highs Laws, Statues and Commandments. As a result, we have a Biblical history that testifies who we are because of the curses that have been placed upon us due to the disobedience, idolatry and immorality.
The Most High himself is gathering us, the Hebrew Yisra’elites and the Gentiles, who hear this message and repent and turn from their sins, to keep His Commandments. We and all who follow YHWH are Yisra’elites and all Yisra’el shall be saved. I think the enemy of our soul is the author of confusion and he is using whoever he can to bring about this confusion. Again, you will continue to hear me use both names in my speech and teaching until the King comes. Please make sure you live your life representing His name by displaying His character which lets the whole world know who you are serving. Do not take His name in vain by living a life style of breaking His Commandments. Some leaders have come to the knowledge that the name of Jesus is a very good translation, but because they came out so strong against it, they cannot go back. Many people have been hurt and disappointed by these Pastors. Saving face has become the norm; they cannot go back because their pride will not let them. So they must push forward and do like a lot of Christian pastors. Christian pastors know the truth associated with these pagan holidays: Christmas, Easter, and Sunday Sabbath. But they cannot go back, they have a job to perform. If they tell the people the truth, they will lose their Church. That price is just too great for them to pay. It is my hope that I am able to provide understanding in this subject.

shalom Pastor Dowell This article is subject to change as Yah gives me new understanding and as we advance in this diaspora. So much has been lost and covered up over the centuries; our history, heritage, culture, and language. He is restoring all that has been lost and all that has been kept from us, His people. I thank him for Salvation. I thank Him for Jesus Yahshua. All Scriptural Text is from the King James Version of the Bible.
