The Name of the Messiah is not just a labelโit carries divine authority, power, and identity. Scripture repeatedly emphasizes the importance of calling on the correct Name for salvation, prayer, and worship. Yet, throughout history, the true Name Yahusha (ืืืืฉืข) has been removed, altered, and replaced with “Jesus,” a name that lacks the original Hebrew meaning.
Does it matter which Name we use? Absolutely! This section will examine:
ย Why using the true Name matters in worship and prayer.
Scriptural commands to honor Yahuahโs Name and Yahushaโs Name.
How using the wrong name affects spiritual authority and relationship.
Prophecies that declare the restoration of the true Name in the last days.
1. The Name Yahusha (ืืืืฉืข) Carries the Meaning of Salvation
Matthew 1:21 โ “She shall give birth to a Son, and you shall call His Name ืืืืฉืข (Yahusha), for He shall save His people from their sins.”
The very Name of the Messiah proclaims salvation!
โข ืืืืฉืข (Yahusha) = “Yahuah Saves.”
โข “Jesus” does not carry this meaning in Hebrew.
Acts 4:12 โ “And there is no deliverance in anyone else, for there is no other Name under the heaven given among men by which we need to be saved.”
This verse proves that only Yahushaโs true Name carries the power of salvation.
2. Yahuah Commands Us to Call on His True Name
Exodus 3:15 โ “This is My Name forever, and this is My remembrance to all generations.”
Joel 2:32 โ “And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of ืืืื shall be saved.”
John 17:6 โ “I have revealed Your Name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world.”
Yahusha Himself revealed Yahuahโs Name! Why would He allow His own Name to be changed?
Zechariah 14:9 โ “And Yahuah shall be Sovereign over all the earth. In that day there shall be one ืืืื, and His Name one.”
Prophecy confirms that Yahuahโs Name will be restored because it was removed!
3. The Power of the True Name in Prayer and Worship
John 14:13-14 โ “And whatever you ask in My Name, that I shall do, in order that the Father might be esteemed in the Son. If you ask whatever in My Name, I shall do it.”
John 16:23-24 โ “Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My Name He shall give you.”
Prayers are answered when we call on the true Name of Yahusha!
Would the Messiah use a name given by men or the Name given by Yahuah?
Malachi 3:16 โ “Then shall those who fear ืืืื speak to one another, and ืืืื listen and hear, and a book of remembrance be written before Him, of those who fear ืืืื, and those who think upon His Name.”
A book of remembrance is written for those who call upon His Name!
4. How Using the Wrong Name Affects Spiritual Authority
Matthew 7:22-23 โ “Many shall say to Me in that day, โMaster, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?โ And then I shall declare to them, โI never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!โ”
Could using a false name contribute to this warning?
Proverbs 30:4 โ “What is His Name, and what is His Sonโs Name, if you know it?”
This verse challenges us to seek the true Name!
Philippians 2:9-11 โ “Elohim has highly exalted Him and given Him a Name which is above every name, that at the Name of Yahusha every knee should bow.”
If His Name is exalted above every name, why was it changed?
5. Prophecies of the Restoration of the True Name in the Last Days
Zephaniah 3:9 โ “For then I shall turn to the peoples a clean lip, so that they all call on the Name of ืืืื, to serve Him with one accord.”
Revelation 14:1 โ “And I looked and saw a Lamb standing on Mount Tsiyon, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Fatherโs Name written upon their foreheads.”
The end-time remnant will bear Yahuahโs Nameโbecause the world had lost it!
Hosea 2:16-17 โ “And in that day, declares ืืืื, you shall call Me โMy Husband,โ and no longer call Me โMy Baโal,โ and I shall remove the names of the Baโals from her mouth, and they shall no longer be remembered by their name.”
Names linked to paganism will be removed in the last days!
6. Why Returning to Yahushaโs Name Matters for True Worship
John 4:23-24 โ “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also seeks such to worship Him. Elohim is Spirit, and those who worship Him need to worship in spirit and truth.”
True worship includes using the correct Name!
Revelation 18:4 โ “Come out of her, My people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.”
Many have unknowingly inherited false traditions, including false namesโYahuah is calling His people to come out of deception!
________________________________________
Conclusion: Calling on the True Name is a Command, Not an Option
The Scriptures are clearโYahuah commands His people to use His Name and the Name of His Son, Yahusha.
Yahushaโs Name (ืืืืฉืข) means “Yahuah Saves”โbut “Jesus” has no Hebrew meaning.
Scripture commands us to call on His true Name for salvation, prayer, and worship.
The power of prayer and spiritual authority is linked to using the correct Name.
Prophecy declares that Yahuahโs Name will be restored in the last days.
Using the true Name is part of true worship, as Yahuah seeks worship in spirit and truth.
It is time to restore the ancient paths!
Return to the true NameโYahusha HaMashiach (ืืืืฉืข), the only Name given for salvation!
The True Name of the Messiah: Yahusha (ืืืืฉืข), Not Jesus
Introduction: Restoring the True Name
One of the greatest deceptions in history has been the alteration, erasure, and replacement of the true Name of the Messiah. While the world widely recognizes the name “Jesus,” historical, linguistic, and scriptural evidence proves that this was not the original name given to the Messiah by Yahuah (ืืืื). Instead, His true Name is Yahusha (ืืืืฉืข), which means “Yahuah is Salvation.”
Through deliberate linguistic corruption, theological deception, and historical manipulation, the true Hebrew name of Yahusha was replaced through Greek, Latin, and English transliterations, severing its connection to the Name of the Father, Yahuah (ืืืื). This document will prove beyond doubt:
Yahusha (ืืืืฉืข) is the original and correct Name of the Messiah.
The name “Jesus” is a mistranslation with no connection to Hebrew meaning.
Scripture commands us to call on the true Name for salvation.
The removal of Yahuahโs Name from Yahushaโs Name was a deceptive move.
The pagan influence behind the name “Jesus.”
The linguistic shift from Paleo-Hebrew to modern languages altered the divine meaning.
The false claim that “Jesus” means “Hail Zeus” and other misleading theories.
How Constantine and the Roman Catholic Church played a role in the deception.
Historical references proving the suppression of the Hebrew Names.
The theological importance of using the correct Name in prayer and worship.
I. The Name Yahusha (ืืืืฉืข) in Paleo-Hebrew
Matthew 1:21 โ “She shall give birth to a Son, and you shall call His Name ืืืืฉืข (Yahusha), for He shall save His people from their sins.”
Paleo-Hebrew Breakdown of the Name:
โข ืืื (Yahu) โ The shortened form of Yahuah (ืืืื), the Name of the Creator.
โข ืฉืืึผืขึท (Shua) โ Meaning “salvation” or “deliverance.”
Thus, Yahusha (ืืืืฉืข) literally means “Yahuah Saves!”
Acts 4:12 โ “And there is no deliverance in anyone else, for there is no other Name under the heaven given among men by which we need to be saved.”
John 5:43 โ “I have come in My Fatherโs Name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.”
Yahusha carries the Name of Yahuah, but the world has accepted a different nameโone that does NOT include the Fatherโs Name!
Exodus 3:15 โ “This is My Name forever, and this is My remembrance to all generations.”
Psalm 91:14 โ “Because he cleaves to Me in love, therefore I deliver him; I set him on high, because he has known My Name.”
Zechariah 14:9 โ “And Yahuah shall be Sovereign over all the earth. In that day there shall be one ืืืื (Yahuah), and His Name one.”
Proverbs 30:4 โ “Who has gone up to the heavens and come down? โฆ What is His Name, and what is His Sonโs Name, if you know it?”
Scripture continuously emphasizes the importance of His true Name!
II. How Yahusha Became “Jesus”
Greek Septuagint (LXX – 250 BCE) โ ืืืืฉืข (Yahusha) was transliterated as แผธฮทฯฮฟแฟฆฯ (Iฤsous).
Linguistic modifications were made as Hebrew names were transliterated into Greek, then Latin, and finally English:
The Hebrew letter “Yod” (ื) was changed to “I” because Greek has no “Y” sound.
The Hebrew letter “Hey” (ื) was dropped because Greek has no “H” consonant.
The Hebrew letter “Shin” (ืฉื) was replaced with “S” because Greek has no “sh” sound.
Greek grammar requires masculine names to end in “s,” so an “s” was added.
Acts 7:45 & Hebrews 4:8 โ “Joshua (Yahusha son of Nun) is also called Iฤsous in Greek.”
If “Iฤsous” was a pagan name, then Joshuaโs name would also be paganโbut we know thatโs false!
1 Corinthians 14:33 โ “For Elohim is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.”
Hosea 4:6 โ “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
Many have unknowingly inherited a false name for the Messiah!
III. The Evolution from Greek to Latin to English
As the Greek name Iฤsous (แผธฮทฯฮฟแฟฆฯ) was adopted into Latin and then English, further distortions occurred:
Greek (แผธฮทฯฮฟแฟฆฯ โ Iฤsous) โ Used in the Greek Septuagint and Greek New Testament.
Latin (Iesus) โ Used in the 4th-century Latin Vulgate, preserving the Greek form.
English (Jesus) โ The letter “J” did not exist in English until the 1500s. The name was originally pronounced “Yay-soos,” but later evolved into “Jesus.”
John 17:6 โ “I have revealed Your Name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world.”
The Messiah came in His Fatherโs NameโYahuah (ืืืื). The name “Jesus” removes that connection!
IV. The Final Call: Return to the True Name!
Revelation 18:4 โ “Come out of her, My people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.”
The time for deception is over. The Messiahโs Name is NOT “Jesus”โit is Yahusha (ืืืืฉืข)!
If you love the truth, seek His true Name and return to the ancient paths!
Joel 2:32 โ “And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of ืืืื shall be saved.”
Zephaniah 3:9 โ “For then I shall turn to the peoples a clean lip, so that they all call on the Name of ืืืื, to serve Him with one accord.”
Revelation 14:1 โ “And I looked and saw a Lamb standing on Mount Tsiyon, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Fatherโs Name written upon their foreheads.”
