--Sharing our Lord and Saviour Yahushua, Yeshua the Messiah to the World!--

Please Note: On this site we prefer to use the actual Name of our loving Heavenly Father as it was written in the Hebrew and thus you will note that we will use the four letter “Memorial Name” of - YHVH, which is pronounced as YaHVaH or YaHWaH, also we will use our Heavenly Father’s title - “Elohim” rather than “God” and we need to remember that “Elohim” (God) is NOT a name but an attribute, a title! In addition we also love to use the actual Name of our beloved “Messiah” (written in Hebrew as “Mashiach” and in Greek as “Christos”), which is - Yahushua (Yeshua in short) for this is the Messiah’s original Hebrew Name as given to Him in Luke 1:31. This was the only Name ever used when He was on the earth by His disciples and His followers for hundreds of years thereafter. However it was changed to a foreign name by the new church, which later became known as “the greater Roman catholic church.” Occasionally, we may also use other Hebrew or Greek names and words in our studies, but these will be translated when they are used, either the first time in a study or at various times as needed for clarity. For an explanation of YHVH’s most Holy and blessed “Memorial Name” and the wonderful Name of our Messiah: Please read … “The Memorial Name.”

The three levels of learning & understanding the Word of YHVH Elohim (the Lord God):

When we read and study the blessed Scriptures, the Word of YHVH Elohim as a Messianic believer in Messiah, we should keep following three steps in mind for they can a valuable guide to us and it will illuminate the beauty and the fullness of YHVH’s blessed Word.

1. Who was YHVH Elohim, blessed be His Holy Name speaking to?

2. When was it said?

3. How was His Word understood at the time it was spoken/given?

I do believe that these three points are most relevant to our understanding of 1. What the Almighty is saying at the time – 2. As well as what it means to us today - and 3. Especially to you and me right now!

Shalom - Peace be with you, in Yahushua THE Messiah!

Here comes the Test …

With Elder & Teacher Reuben ben Gershom

Did you know that the word “God” is in reality the way to use and write the name of a pagan deity? Now I am well aware that this will surprise just about every single person who has just read this and you are about to hit “close this page, BUT please don’t do this IF bytouy nlove bthe FCreator nof heaven and eart and your loving Saviour nwho shed His precious Blood to saver you from your sins, yes beloved Messiah! Thus please bread on and discover how there has been a very clever trick used by that evil adversary haSatan who has played an evil trick on most believers, which originally came through that evil sun and moon worshipping pagan influenced church of Rome, which itself was wholly inspired by the Babylonian religions. Remember it is well recorded that Emperor Constantine who changed countless doctrines was himself to the day of his death a Mithra – sun god worshipper, and that is why he abolished what the faithful in Messiah had been doing for over three hundred years, resting and worshipping their Lord and Saviour on the Seventh day, that is from Friday night to Saturday night as Israel had done over the ages, and their fore father from the days of Adam. Constantine dared to oppose the law of the Almighty as per the Ten Commandments, which are still in force, with a new law on March 7, 321 A.D., it was the very first National SUNday Law in history ever to be issued and it was to be known as the first of the “Blue laws” issued by a civil government. Here is the text of Constantine’s first SUNday law decree:

“Let all judges and townspeople and occupations of all trades rest on the venerable day of the SUN (SUNday).” The Code of Justinian, Book 3, title 12, law 3.

He then added additional Sunday laws within a few years to strengthen his first pagan SUNday edict to edify his sun god and believers who dared to continue to uphold the Scriptural Sabbath would be killed in the name of the sun god.

But, there were also other god’s around, including one known as “Gaad,” pronounced as “Gawd” or “God.” We can read about this pagan god in Yeshayahu - Isaiah 65:11, where YHVH Elohim warns His people Israel as follows;

“But you are those who forsake YHVH, who forget My holy mountain, Who prepare a table for Gad (the Syrio-Babylonian god of fortune), and who furnish a drink offering for Meni (the god of destiny).”

The words of the prophet Isaiah demonstrate the widespread worship of this false deity whose name was “Gad,” which Judah had apparently embraced along with another false deity named “Meni.”

The evil name of “Baal-gad” is also mentioned in Yahushua – Joshua 11:17 as well as in other books. This Syrian idol Gad was considered to be a very powerful deity who was supposed to control the planet Jupiter, which was a part of ancient Semitic worship and it was later embraced by many successive nations, including Greece and as we know Rome, for in Roman mythology, Jupiter is the ruler of all the gods, the son of the god Saturn, whom he overthrew. Thus in Rome this Gad or God was a powerful god indeed and the word we know is in reality the name of this evil so-called deity.

Christendom in Europe through various Scripture translators inadvertently expanded the phonetic vocalization of Gad, to Gawd, God connection by substituting, “God,” for the Tenach (Old Testament) Hebrew words Elohim, that Literally means, “mightiest of the mighty”, as well as using “GOD” or “the LORD” in capitals, instead of using the “Memorial Name for YHWH (Tetragrammaton, aka YaHVaH).

In the Brit Chadashah (New Testament) the Greek word for deity “Theós” (Strength) was uniformly replaced by, “God,” and, “Godhead.” Now whether it was by design or be default “God” and “god” as words for “deity” became the universal transliteration, transcending the intended meaning portrayed by the inspired Hebrew and Greek text in scripture. But, the problem here is tradition and the word has become the norm, yet it is time that we came to realise that each time we “”raise the name of God” – who are you really praising? Certainly Not YaHVaH Elohim and Yahushua the Messiah for those are the true and genuine Names of the Father and our beloved Messiah who gave His life that we may also have life. Yet, we will follow the Roman Catholic world like sheep and continue to worship on SUNday, as well as uphold pagan feasts of Eastra and the equinox in December (see the articles online). In addition the Roman inspired church uphold and worship pagan inspired names, instead of using the scriptural “Memorial Name” and the correct “Attribute” of our Heavenly Father, which is, “YaHVaH Elohim” and also to the blessed Name of our Lord and Saviour Yahushua THE Messiah.

Remember this, Avraham, Isaac, or Jacob worshipped YHVH and if you carefully read the blessed Word you will find that they NEVER worshipped “God,” but on the other hand the Babylonians, all other pagans and the Churches to this day worship a “God.” In the USA they stamp their money with the words; "IN 'GOD' WE TRUST," yes, but which “god” do they and you really trust in! I only trust Him who is in THE Word and His “Memorial Name” and “attribute” is YHVH –YaHVaH Elohim!

Also, what is the relationship between the words “Tiwaz” and “God”?

There is a connection of all the following idol deities to the English “God, Gauwd, Gud, Gudenez, Jupiter, Zeus,Tiwaz, as Tyr Gudnez.”

Therefore as you can see the whole world universally worships an idol image of the Roman beast and satan the devil (Rev.13:3-4; Rev.13:8; Rev.13:16-17) through deception (Rev.12:9) by this universal Babylonian deity of fortune “Gad, Gawd, God” (Isa.65:11) the Roman (Dan.7:23), 4th beast, John's 1st and extended beast (Rev.13:1-17) of which is an image of Jupiter / Zeus.

Notice that all this was adopted into the Roman Catholic church.

Greek Zeus,
Roman Jupiter (from Deus Pater),
Vedic Dyaus Pita,
Germanic Tiwaz (later known as Tyr),
Baltic Dievas,
Slavic Div,
Gaulish Dis Pater and probably Phrygian Sabazios (from Saba Zeus).

Also etymologically connected is the Latin word for ‘god.’ deus, the word for the Christian God used by the Roman Catholic Church. The latin word is also continued in English divine, deity, and the original Germanic word remains visible in the dat bwe now know as Tuesday that was originally the “Day of Tiwaz.”

Dyeus was addressed as Dyeu Phter, literally “Sky Father” or “shining father,” as reflected in Latin Jupiter, Greek Zeu pater, Sanskrit Dyau Pita. In his aspect as a father god, his consort was Pltvi Mhter, “earth mother.”

Now if all this does not sound very dangerous to you, You need to pray and seek YHVH Elohim in the precious Name of Yahushua the Messiah!

In closing just let me say this; no matter how much information we receive on this or other controversial subjects, if we don’t want to believe it, well you won’t, thus it will be your problem!

I have heard it said so many times and yes even by pastors; “I don't want to hear, or know, about it, I like my church just as it is, and I am happy with what I believe.” The problem, to do something is having to make a choice and acting upon it and that takes effort and people are just too lazy and scared to do this for they feel they may be ridiculed. Well, what is best, the ridicule of people or the wrath of the Almighty? Sadly, the way most people measure the truth is … “It best to stay with what I like and feel comfortable with!”

When Yahushua comes again, will He be able to say to you, “Well done thou true and faithful servant.” Think about it? Did He did say clearly “ASK IT IN MY NAME.”

He will not be able to say this if you are calling Him by the name of “Jesus,” which in reality in the Greek means - “Hey Zeus!” – “I never knew you” will be His statement, UNLESS you RETURN to Him in Spirit and in Truth NOW!

Please Father YaHVaH, in the Name of Yahushua give all readers of this study a heart to understand You and your blessed Messiah Yahushua. I pray in Your most Holy and Blessed Name!

Shalom in Messiah - Yahushua.

May YHVH Elohim bless and keep you in the palm of His hand always, in Messiah Yahushua’s loving Name!

Yahushua said; “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the Prophets: They will all be taught by Elohim. Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from Him comes to Me. No one has seen the Father except the One who is from Elohim; only He has seen the Father. I tell you the truth he who believes has everlasting life.” Yochannan (John) 6:43-48.
