YaHVaH constitutes the entire Name of the Creator of the Heavens and the earth, and all that is in them. And the Name “YaH” is the contracted form of YaHVaH. What would it matter, if letters and words don't mean anything? It makes all the difference in the world, which name we call on, to be saved. Otherwise, we could change any letter we wish. Just call Him anything we choose, or put in a “J” or any letter we wish! NO! Do we love YaHVaH the Creator of the Heavens and the earth or not? Maaseh haShlichim (Acts) Chapter 2:38 Kepha (Peter) said to them, Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of YaHVaHshua Ha Mashiyach for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Maaseh haShlichim (Acts) Chapter 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. Maaseh haShlichim (Acts) Chapter 10:42-43 And He ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to testify that this is the One who has been appointed by the Elohim as Judge of the living and the dead. Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His Name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins. PROOF THAT YAHVAH IS CORRECT, THE "V" NOT THE "W" CAME FIRST: Here are just some of nearly thirty witnesses on record. These sources give greater evidence that the V as in YaHVaH came before W as in Yahweh. You might take many hours looking these up. So, if you're interested, see the referenced pages in a good library. The final proof is in the original documents. Hebrew letters read from right to left. Here are a few proofs: Hebrew-English, English-Hebrew Dictionary, by A.S. Waldstein, Copy 1967 by P. Shalom Publishers Inc. page "A": Alphabet. "Vav=V"...Notice, NO "W" nor a double V. The Standard Jewish Encyclopedia, Doubleday 1962; See “Tetragrammaton”: "(Gk. “Four-lettered”) term generally used to designate the...Name (YHVH), traditionally not pronounced by Jews and formerly misread ‘Jehovah’ by Christians. See also ‘God, Names of’:” “YHVH”, (The Tetragrammaton or Shem ha-Mephorash) was the particular Name of the God of Israel and occurs nearly 7,000 times in the Bible…Yahweh has been conjectured…Other biblical terms include Elyon (“The Most High”), which was the Canaanite appellation for their Supreme deity.” The New Standard Jewish Encyclopedia, Doubleday 1977. “..Name YHVH”. The Universal Jewish Ency., NY 1943; Page 203 "Tetragrammaton" “Yod, He, Vav, He.” The Hebrew Study Manual Samuel Bagster; "The Alphabet" Page 3: “Vav equals V.” There is no “W “or double “U”. The New Jewish Encyclopedia, Behrman House, N.Y.,N.Y. 1962: Tetragrammaton. "Jewish mystics were thought to have known how to pronounce the Tetragrammaton and how to make mysterious use of it. Christians erroneously pronounce the word, ‘Jehovah’, and MODERN scholarship suggests that its original pronunciation was ‘YaHVaH’.” Note, there isn’t any "W"! The 26 Letters, Oscar Ogg; pg 74 &106, "The three missing letters, J, U and W, were not used by the Romans at all. U and W developed FROM "V" about a thousand years ago, and J developed from the letter "I" about five hundred years ago.” (Thus, the W came in about 971 A.D.) Page 74 shows a chart of Hieratic, Phoenician letters, with no W, just a “V”, 1150 B.C.. Page 105 shows a Greek-Latin chart: No “W”, just a “V” at bottom right. Page 109 is another chart; It includes the “V”! The Lost Languages, P.E. Cleaton; Page 21: "The expansion of V into U and W (double U) and the differentiation of I and J were later developments which took place in the Tenth and Fourteenth centuries, respectively." Hebrew in Ten Minutes a Day, by Kristine Kershul, M.A., 1992: This chart includes the “V” but no “W”. The Encyclopedia of Religion,1987, Page 1. “God in the Hebrew Scriptures”; “YHVH: This Tetragrammaton, attested more than 6,600 times…” Page 218 “Alphabets”: Under the Hebrew “Vav=V” (Not W). Under the Arabic, “Letter=a comma, Name “waw”. This is evidence of W and later time we may quote a few of the five other references on this W. The First Hebrew Primer for Adults 1983, Pronunciation Chart “V as in Vine. “Vav”. It shows the book print, block and script additionally. The Hebrew Student Manual “The Alphabet” on page 2. “Vav=V”. Modern Hebrew, A First-Year Course, by Harry Blumberg, Ph.D, 1963. “The Alphabet”: This chart shows a “V” no “W”.

The Alphabet, Hebrew for All” by Harold Levy available from Assembly of YaHVaH, PO Box 1010, Stilwell, Oklahoma 74960. , pg 18, “Vav, V as in vat”. Letter from Block Publishing Co, “The Jewish Book Concern”, 31 west 31st st New York, N.Y.. to Mr. L. Snow: “Dear Mr. Snow: With ref. To your inquiry...do not have material explaining the way Sephardic Jews transliterate or pronounce the Hebrew alphabet. According to our knowledge the ‘Vav” is pronounced as a ‘V’ by Sephardic Jews. Sincerely Yours, Bloch Publishing Co.” PROOF OF THE “W" in "YHWH” is from the theory mainly that Hebrew is only vowel sounds. Another source is “The Holy Bible”, Saint Joseph textbook confraternity version, Copyright 1963. On the very inside-cover, half-way down in big letters “YAHWEH” with the all-seeing eye: This Kabballistic symbol should cause a Believer to turn-away from it. Just these six: References for "W" in the separated Name are: The Encyclopedia Judaic Vol 7, pp679; The New Jewish encyclopedia 1975 Ed pp. 766 under the title 'G_d' Columbia Encyclopedia Vol. 2 under the subject 'G_d’. The Grote Winkler Prins Encyclopedia under the title 'JAHWE'. " Other evidence is given. "The Interpreters Bible Dictionary" Vol 4, page 923. Ripley’s “Believe it or Not” in “Separated Name” page 35. Evidence for the “W” is also the following: “Where did the Name of Jehovah come from?” from the NW Synod of Wisconsin Resource Center. Therefore, we have more evidence that the Name YaHVaH, not YahWeh, is correct. The greater weight of evidence shows the letter “V” came first before the "W". There are only four letters in Our Father’s Name; It is spelled Y-H-V-H. We pronounce YHVH “eeYaH VaH”. This is the Greeks named Tetragrammaton. Tetra means “four” - Four letters. הוה My opinion is that I believe The Scriptures are all true! We do not have the liberty to change words or letters from the original Hebrew source. Originally YHVH was used for the Creator, YaHVaHshua for the Mashiyach (Messiah). The substitute title, “Lord” began to replace YaHVaH’s Name.

Forlong Encyclopedia Biblica vol. 1 p. 752 by Cheyne Many of you are so accustomed to using and saying the name "Jesus" while not realizing that both Jesus and Christ are corrupt names, handed down in the earliest of the dark ages by Constantine the Great and his followers. People become emotional about it, and hate to be proven wrong. That is the enemy of pride. Put it away and open your hearts and minds.” Come out of her My people!” Famous Christian leaders and large Churches have unfortunately used these substitute Names and approximately fifty corrupted religious words for almost two-thousand years. Why should we change now? For me and my house, we will stand-up for the true Name of YaHVaH, and His ONLY begotten Son YaHVaHshua. Now that YaHVaH has helped us learn his true Name, we must cherish, love, proclaim and esteem that most precious Name, and His Sons Name YaHVaHshua. The statement has been made, “The people of YaHVaH in old times used the (pagan) English words before they became pagan. They used “god, holy etc..” WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! They were Hebrews so why would they need Babylonian, Canaanite, English and Greek words from the Nations? A matter of fact is that the English language did not even exist. The Chosen Ones had their own pure language. There is no connection between pagan words and true Hebrew. “ADONAI” has been substituted in the Hebrew for YaHVaH (Y-H-V-H) but used separately, Ha Satan knew mankind would not question it. A proper alternate is MASTER, YAHVAH, and SOVEREIGN. Please see the referenced book, “Come Out” which is based on hundreds of proofs. Greek ADONIS; Phoenician Adoni: these are Sun deities.
