WHAT'S NEW?
So, what
would Yahushua (YAH-hoo-shu-ah) do?
1. As my brother in Messiah,
Michael Rood would say, "First off, he would answer
to HIS REAL NAME!"
It may come as a surprise to many, but the name "Jesus" is far
removed from the TRUE NAME of the Messiah given to Miriam (Mary) by
the Angel Gabri'el that special night. Furthermore, the name "Jesus" cannot
even be called a TRANSLATION. An accurate
English "translation" of the Messiah's name would "JOSHUA."
Oddly, this name, "Joshua," was not used (for reasons we shall soon
learn). The name "Jesus" is neither His given name nor a
translation, it is a MAN-MADE creation! Thankfully, if this is
new to you, you are under GRACE and our Messiah answers you
by the name you have held to all these years. But if He has brought
you here (it is not by accident), then I believe He is speaking to
you about further REVELATION into who He is, including His name.
Lets investigate further to discover the true HEBREW name of the
Messiah...
So what's the BIG DEAL? I speak English, not Hebrew...
I emphasize His real HEBREW name, Yahushua, as shown above in the
modern form of Hebrew, because as any Scriptural scholar will tell you,
Hebrew names in
the Scriptures mean something. Please grasp the importance of this truth,
it is essential to understanding the desire we should have for
accuracy of His name. They are not just letters joined together in a
line, they have DEFINITION. They MEAN something... Sadly, most of the world only knows Yahushua by the name of "Jesus Christ," which
completely LACKS the intended
meaning of the Hebrew name, that is "Yah Saves." Every time you
use the name, "Yahushua," you proclaim to the whole world that
"Yahweh Saves!" The name Jesus has no such meaning,
nor such testimony.
So confused are many that they think "Christ"
is Jesus' last name! Basically, to keep it simple, "Jesus" is a very poor Roman translation
from Latin, that was also poorly translated from the Greek, which IN NO WAY
resembles His Hebrew name, "Yahushua." Whew! Get all that? Moreover, according to the
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA, the name Ieusus (Jesus) is a combination of 2
mythical deities, IEU and SUS (ZEUS, a Greek god). In Gnostic and Greek mythologies they are
actually one and the same pagan deity. So, it appears the name "Jesus" has some
documented pagan origins. That's not good!
In fairness, some
Messianic believers disagree and state that there is no definitive evidence to
connect "Jesus" to "Zeus." However, I, and the
evidence I have seen, disagree with
them.
Now "Christ" is a modern word for
the Greek word "Christos," which means "anointed one." It
was the name used for all the Greek gods, not just Jesus. All the
Greek gods were "Christ." It was translated from
the word "Messiah," which is "Maschiach" in the Hebrew, which also means
"Anointed One." Some may argue that I stress semantics but I believe
it important that we use the name His Father in heaven gave to Him through
his Angel to Miryam (Mary) and Yosef (Joseph). Remember, in the Hebrew language
names MEAN SOMETHING.
For example, how would you like someone
calling you by a different name even though they know your real name but choose
not to use it? Rude,
isn't it?
Remember, Yahushua himself told us that He
comes in His Father's name, which is YHWH (Yâ-hwéh). When you REJECT the Messiah's true name, you also reject the Father's real
name. That is a BIG DEAL, indeed! Speak English, but use the CORRECT
NAMES... the Hebrew ones.
Although some would argue "YAHUshua" -vs- "Yâhuwshú`a"
-vs- Yahshua" -vs- "Yeshua" -vs- "Jesus" till the Messiah returned, my studies and belief, as well as the
works of experts in the Hebrew language, show me that
Yahushua [YAH-hoo-shu-ah] is
probably the most accurate pronunciation of the Messiah's name. It makes perfect
sense as this pronunciation is the
exact name of the Messianic "Branch" prophesied in Zechariah 6:11~12
as well as Moshe's (Moses') successor (known in English as Joshua) who led the Israelites
over the Jordan,
therefore, with abundant and scholarly evidence, I
personally use Yahushua.
TRADITION-FREE VERSION:
(Zec 6:11-12 TFV) Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them
upon the head of Yâhuwshú`a, son of Yehowtsadaq, the high priest;
{12} And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh YHWH Tsaba (of Hosts),
saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out
of his place, and he shall build the Temple of YHWH:
I acknowledge that many other fellow Brothers and Sisters who
seek out and follow the Messiah use "Yeshua." I think, with the
knowledge and understanding we presently have, that this version of his name
lacks scholarly evidence and even less Scriptural evidence for
validation, as well as a documented history of being tampered with, yet IN GRACE and MERCY, it is "probably" acceptable. I say
"probably" because it is in a grey zone Scripturally where I don't have a definitive answer. One thing is for sure, the name "Jesus" is far from his
original given name and any of the above versions, even the name JOSHUA, would be more accurate than
the name Jesus. Some may not seem it important, but I
personally want to be as close as possible to the name the Angel Gabri'el told Miryam to name our Messiah!
The name above ALL names... The name that surely holds salvation.
The name that proclaims, "Yah Saves!" For no matter where you
stand on this, we will soon ALL know
his true name as we
see Him come in His glory... even so, come quickly Yahushua, come quickly.
The Name? (Ha Shem?)
Notice the three identical Hebrew letters (Yod, Heh,
Vav) in both names below (Hebrew is read and
written right to left)... Those three letters are the poetic short form of the Father's name, "YAH."
If one uses the common but incorrect modern name of "JESUS" instead of
the accurate, native tongue "Yahushua" or "Yâhuwshú`a,"
I believe, in grace, while still in ignorance, it is permissible. But if you have read this far, you are NO LONGER in ignorance. You must soon CHOOSE
truth or a lie, as the Ruach (Spirit) leads. I
know that in my life, while in
ignorance, trapped in the Mystery of Babylon, the
pagan-influenced "institutional"
Christian
Church, the Messiah
has answered and responded to "JESUS" uncountable times. Yet I choose, after being
set free and awakened to the Torah foundation in my faith, to come closer to Him and use the
ONLY NAME that
holds salvation, literally. Yahushua
means "Yah Saves." This is not just a clever name game... As
said above, names MEAN something and we should TAKE NOTICE!
In addition, the excellent article on
www.eliyah.com
titled, "Why
Yahushua?," gives us strong evidence that the early Disciples of
Yahushua took great effort to ensure that the name of the Messiah
was pronounced properly and that it was a matter of DOCTRINE to do
so. I quote from the article below.
Interestingly,
there is evidence that although the name of Yahushua was
written in Greek as
IhsouV, it
may have actually been pronounced the way a Hebrew
speaking person would pronounce it. Around 178 CE, a
pagan by the name of Celsus engaged in written debates
with Christians. In one of them, Celsus (speaking of
Christians) said:
"But
of course they think otherwise: they assume that by
pronouncing the name of their teacher they are
armored against the powers of the earth and air. And
they are quite insistent on the efficacy of the name
as a means of protection: pronounce it
improperly, they say, and it is ineffective.
Greek and Latin will not do; it must be said in a
barbarian tongue to work. Silly as they are, one
finds them standing next to a statue of Zeus or
Apollo or some other god, and shouting, "see here: I
blaspheme it and strike it, but it is powerless
against me for I am a Christian." Celsus on the
True Doctrine, A Discourse Against the Christians,
R. Joseph Hoffman (page118)
Notice that Celsus was
quoting Christians as saying that the name of "their
teacher" (Yahushua no doubt) must not be spoken
"improperly" and that it must not be spoken in a "Greek"
way or "Latin" way, but in a "Barbarian tongue" for it
to be effective. Of course, to the pagans the Hebrew
language was nothing more than a barbarian language. This lends evidence that even though the name of
Yahushua was written as IhsouV,
there were at least some people speaking it in the
Hebrew way. The Greek alphabet simply lacks the letters
necessary to correctly convey how the name is pronounced
in Hebrew.

2. Secondly, he would call his
Father by His TRUE NAME, Yahweh (YHWH), or, more intimately,
Abba Yahweh (Father Yahweh).
And Elohim said further to Mosheh, "Thus you are to say to the children of
Yisra’ĕl, ‘ יהוה
Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Aḇraham,
the Elohim of Yitsḥaq,
and the Elohim of Yaaqoḇ,
has sent me to you. This is My Name
forever, and this is My remembrance to all generations.’
(Exodus 3:15
The Scriptures '98)
My remembrance?!? How many know of this name? Not many! I can only imagine how much it
GRIEVES and pains The Father to see how many have no idea what His true name is,
even the ones who call themselves "His Children." How about the words "to ALL
GENERATIONS?" All generations does not mean till 30AD, the year Yahushua died for
our sins, but every single generation from Adam to the Messiah's return. If you
call yourself a "Child of God," this especially includes YOU!
YAHWEH is the TRUE NAME of the
Elohim (God) of Israel and when Moshe (Moses)
wrote it down it probably looked
like the early Paleo-Hebrew script shown above left, with the modern Hebrew text
to the above right. The all-capitals "LORD," now used as an
unscriptural REPLACEMENT of the true name, is just a TITLE, not a
name. It is important you understand the difference.
Yahweh wants us to know and use His Name, not
His Title, so that all the world will know
that He is Yahweh Tsaba (of Hosts), Elohim of Yisrael! So, WWYD?
As our example, Yahushua (Jesus) made
the TRUE NAME, Yahweh, known to
his disciples, as well as glorified it, and so should we! Pay very close attention to
the two verses below...
(John 17:6 KJV)
I have manifested thy name unto the
men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest
them me; and they have kept thy word.
(John 17:26 KJV) And I have declared unto them thy name,
and will declare it: that the love
wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Manifested? To make the unknown known... Declared? To
announce or pronounce...
Do you see it?
This truth about WWYD? (What Would Yahushua
Do?) has been there all along... how did I miss it for DECADES? How has the
Church, with all its highly educated men and women with theological DOCTORATES
and DEGREES, missed it for over a MILLENNIA? How?

rebellion and the TRUE NAME in the "Iron

the bow, view Rav Moshe's latest update to the "Lame
Name Excuse."

3. Thirdly, he would OBSERVE,
ENCOURAGE
and CHERISH TORAH!
Yahushua is the PERFECT TORAH! He is the Torah made flesh (John 1:1). He obeyed
YHWH's instructions perfectly, the
only man to do so... ever! If we ask,
"What would
Yahushua do?," we
must
answer "observe Torah."
Yahushua "IS" what is written
(Torah), "SAID" what is
written (Torah) and "DID" what is written (Torah)!
Modern Christians incorrectly
call "TORAH" the "LAW," when more accurately it is translated "INSTRUCTIONS." For example, if your Father or Mother told you how to correctly behave regarding
a certain matter, if you have love and respect for your parents, you
would take heed to their words as you know it is the RIGHT thing and BEST thing
to do. However, if you don't take heed to their words and rebel against them,
your Father or Mother may then DEMAND it from you with a consequence for further
rebellion. Therefore a respectful son or daughter will take heed to their
parents words and do them willingly and joyfully, never crossing over into
discipline. So to is it with Torah, our "instructions" from our loving
Heavenly Father!
Thankfully Yahushua obeyed the Torah on our behalf,
as our representative, just as he paid the price for OUR disobedience
of Torah, by His death. We, through YHWH's grace and the sprinkled blood of
the Pasach (Passover) Lamb, Yahushua, observe Torah with CELEBRATION! We joyously celebrate the perpetual and everlasting Festivals of
YHWH
(Leviticus 23)
and
on the seventh day (Saturday) we meet with Him on Shabbat
(Sabbath), HIS appointed day, the day HE PROMISED to meet with us, and we live our lives according to the wonderful ways of Torah
(instructions), our
"Owner's Manual" for humanity.
To observe the Torah is the
outward sign of our inward change, knowing that our
salvation is NOT BY OUR WORKS, but HIS!
2Kepha [Peter] 3:15~17 "…as also our beloved Sha'ul [Paul] wrote to you, according to the wisdom given him, as also in all his
letters, speaking in them concerning these matters, in which some are hard
to understand, which those who are untaught [in Torah] and unstable twist to their
own destruction, as they do also the other Scriptures [Torah]. You, then,
beloved ones, being forewarned, watch, lest you also fall from your own
steadfastness, being led away with the delusion of the
lawless.
[Lawless = without Torah]
Yahushua tells us, recorded in the
Hebrew Matthew,
to do what Moses' tells us to do and not to do as the Pharisees (religious
leaders) do if the laws (takanot) of the Pharisees, even though they sit on "Moses' Seat,"
were to supersede, cancel out or contradict Moses. Moses gave us
TORAH! There is no written text with higher authority.
Wait! I thought THE LAW was done away with? Why would
Yahushua tell us to
do what Moses tells us to do in YHWH's Torah? Didn't he come to FREE US from the Law?
This is why you must dig through
TRADITIONS and LIES and ask, "WWYD?" He
would Observe Torah!
In conclusion... "What must one do to be in the Lamb's Book of Life?" Here is
a good start...
|
Then shall those who fear יהוה
speak to one another, and יהוה
listen and hear, and a book of remembrance be
written before Him, of those who fear יהוה,
and those who think upon His Name.

What's
-
 After
much study and asking Yahweh for TRUTH to be revealed to me,
I have come to believe that the name
"Yâhushú`a," pronounced
"YAH-hoo-shu-ah," is MORE ACCURATE than my previously held
belief, that being "Yahshua," pronounced "YAH-shoo-ah." As I
quest for TRUTH, I must change as that truth is revealed to
me, even if it means changing the name of the web site.

Our Mission
To ask the question, "What would Yahushua do?" from a full-gospel
perspective, being ever mindful of grace and observance. "Full-gospel"
meaning the Bible as one unified book, the TaNaKH (Old[er]
Testament) and the B'rit Hadashah (New[er] Testament) seamlessly
together as Yahweh's one voice.

WWYD.org Profile
Presently WWYD.org is comprised of one inquisitive couple in Messiah
who saw a need for the revelation shown to them by Abba Yahweh (Father God) to be shared with
those who care enough to ask tough questions and seek TRUTH where ever it may be
found, even if it shakes religious foundations and your view of the world. This revelation, which shook our
inherited, pagan "Christian" roots, has changed
us
forever. We will never be the same, even if some of our friends and family think we
are nuts and have gone "Jewish." Nor could we ever go back! We have
rabbi
Michael Rood,
rabbi Monte Judah, and
rabbi Rob
Miller, as
well as our
brothers and sisters in Messiah to thank as the Father
opened our ears and eyes to their message of deliverance, this being "Come Out Of
Her!" This is our desire every day, and here in America, that is
not an easy thing to do...
Knowing what you know now, after reading and verifying what this website
proclaims, YOU MUST CHOOSE! You MUST either deny the proof of evidence and go
back to replacement TITLES and pagan doctrines or accept the fact that you have
been LIED TO unwittingly, embrace the intimacy Yahweh offers you by knowing HIS
TRUE NAME and the name of His son, Yahushua, and discover the HEBREW-ness of your
faith by taking the Bible as ONE UNIFIED BOOK. Then, and only then, will the
Messiah's words, "the straight and narrow path," truly make sense...
In conclusion, I want you to know that WWYD.org is seeking and open to all believers in Messiah who want to share or
contribute their knowledge of Scripture or their <html></html> skills. As you may have noticed, this site is very basic in structure and its navigation
is confusing at times... I hope that will change one day, as an
<html></html> master I am not! We are also open to
SPONSORS and selected
advertisers so as to better afford to make this domain more professional and
responsive. My prayer
is that this place in cyberspace will "draw all men unto Him (Yahushua)" and compliment, at times even challenge, other
web sites who seek to make the full-gospel message of the Messiah known. Let us be like good Bereans and search the Scriptures to see if these things be
true!
Contact Information
Please feel free to contact me if you choose. This site is a spare
