The Father's Name: Yahuah

יהוה
Y A H U A H
Yod – Hey – Vav – Hey | The Self-Existent One

The Father's name is Yahuah. In Hebrew, it is written with four letters: YHWH (Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey). These four letters — called the Tetragrammaton — appear nearly 7,000 times in the Hebrew manuscripts of the Old Testament.

Nearly seven thousand times.

Yet in virtually every English translation, every single one of those 7,000 occurrences has been removed and replaced with a title: "LORD" in all capital letters. Open any standard Bible, look at the preface, and you will find the translators' own admission that they substituted the Creator's personal name with a generic title.

This was not a minor editorial decision. This was the erasure of the most important name in existence from the most important book in existence.

"And Elohim said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Yahuah, the Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is My NAME forever, and this is My memorial unto ALL generations."
Exodus 3:15
Forever. All generations. Not "until translators decide to remove it."
"Sing unto Elohim, sing praises to His name: extol Him that rideth upon the heavens by His name YAH, and rejoice before Him."
Psalm 68:4
Even in English translations, the shortened form "YAH" survives here — and in "HalleluYAH" (Praise Yah).
His Name Is Yahuah

The Prophecy of Forgetting the Name

"Which think to cause My people to forget My name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers forgot My name for BAAL."
Jeremiah 23:27

The Key Insight

The Hebrew word "Baal" literally means "Lord" and "Master." This is not a matter of interpretation — it is a matter of Hebrew vocabulary. Every Hebrew lexicon confirms it. Baal = Lord.

Jeremiah prophesied that the people would forget the name of Yahuah and replace it with "Baal" — which means "Lord."

When scribes and translators removed Yahuah nearly 7,000 times and replaced it with "LORD," they fulfilled this prophecy to the letter. His people forgot His name for Baal. They forgot His name for "Lord."

Two billion people call Him "the Lord" every single Sunday. The prophecy is not ancient history. It is the present reality.

"And it shall be at that day, saith Yahuah, that thou shalt call Me Ishi (my husband); and shalt call Me no more Baali (my lord/master). For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name."
Hosea 2:16-17
Yahuah Himself prophesied that He would remove the title "Baal" (Lord/Master) from His people's mouths and restore the intimate relationship signified by "Ishi" (my husband).

The Son's Name: Yahusha

יהושע
Y A H U SH A
Yod – Hey – Vav – Shin – Ayin | "Yahuah Is Salvation"

The Son's name in Hebrew is Yahusha (יהושע). It means "Yahuah is salvation."

Look at the name carefully: Yahu + sha. The Father's name is embedded in the Son's name. Yahuah is literally contained within Yahusha. The Son carries the Father's identity in His very name.

This is not coincidence. This is design.

"I am come in My Father's name, and ye receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive."
John 5:43
Yahusha said He came in His Father's name. The name Yahusha literally contains the Father's name: Yahu (Yahuah) + sha (saves). He was not speaking metaphorically.
"And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Yahusha."
Numbers 13:16
Moses renamed Hoshea ("salvation") to Yahusha by adding the Father's name (Yahu) to the front. "Salvation" became "Yahuah is salvation." The same name given to the Messiah.

The Three Prophetic Witnesses

Three Old Testament prophets make an astonishing claim: Yahuah alone is the Savior, and there is no other. Then the New Testament declares that salvation is found in only one name. Follow the logic:

"I, even I, am Yahuah; and beside Me there is no savior."
Isaiah 43:11
"There is no Elohim else beside Me; a just El and a Savior; there is none beside Me."
Isaiah 45:21
"Yet I am Yahuah thy Elohim... and thou shalt know no Elohim but Me: for there is no savior beside Me."
Hosea 13:4
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
Acts 4:12

The Inescapable Conclusion

If Yahuah alone saves (Isaiah 43:11), and there is no other savior besides Him (Hosea 13:4), and salvation is found in only one name (Acts 4:12) — then the saving name must contain the Father's name.

The name Yahusha means "Yahuah is salvation." It is the only name that satisfies all three prophetic witnesses simultaneously. It declares that Yahuah Himself is the source of salvation — exactly as the prophets stated.

Every Prophet Carries the Name YAHU

Every Prophet Carries the Name

Throughout Scripture, the prophets of Yahuah carry His name within their own names. This was the Hebrew pattern — your name declared your allegiance and your message. Consider:

Eliyahu (Elijah) 1 Kings 17 "My El is Yahuah"
Yeshayahu (Isaiah) Isaiah 1:1 "Yahuah saves"
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) Jeremiah 1:1 "Yahuah will raise up"
Zekaryahu (Zechariah) Zechariah 1:1 "Yahuah remembers"
Obadyahu (Obadiah) Obadiah 1:1 "Servant of Yahuah"
Nechemyah (Nehemiah) Nehemiah 1:1 "Yahuah comforts"
Tsephanyahu (Zephaniah) Zephaniah 1:1 "Yahuah hides / treasures"

Eliyahu. Yeshayahu. Yirmeyahu. Zekaryahu. Obadyahu. Nechemyah. Tsephanyahu. Every one of them carries the name of Yahuah within their own name.

If every prophet carries the Father's name, why would the Son be the exception?

He is not. Yahusha — "Yahuah is salvation" — carries the Father's name just as every faithful prophet before Him did.

Why "Yeshua" Is Insufficient

"Yeshua" is a shortened Aramaic form that became common after the Babylonian captivity. It simply means "salvation." It does not contain the Father's name.

"Yahusha" (יהושע) is the full Hebrew form. It appears over 200 times in the Old Testament (rendered "Joshua" in English). It means "Yahuah is salvation" — declaring the Father as the source.

Form Language Meaning Contains Father's Name?
Yahusha Hebrew (full) "Yahuah is salvation" Yes — Yahu
Yeshua Aramaic (shortened) "Salvation" No

If the Messiah's name means only "salvation" (Yeshua), then it contradicts the prophetic witnesses. Isaiah 43:11 says Yahuah alone saves. A name that means merely "salvation" without identifying who saves is incomplete.

But Yahusha — "Yahuah is salvation" — declares the Father as the source. It harmonizes perfectly with Isaiah, Hosea, and Acts. It is the complete, original Hebrew form, and it is the name Moses gave to Joshua (Numbers 13:16).

Transliteration Chain - Yahusha to Iesous to Jesus

How "Jesus" Happened

The name passed through three languages, and at every stage, something was lost:

Yahusha (Hebrew)
Iesous (Greek)
Iesus (Latin)
Jesus (English)

Hebrew to Greek: Greek has no "Y" sound, no "SH" sound, and no "AH" ending. Yahusha became "Iesous" — stripping out the Father's name entirely. The "Yahu" was replaced with "Ie," and the "sha" (saves) was replaced with "sous."

Greek to Latin: "Iesous" became "Iesus" — a minor change, but further removed from the original.

Latin to English: "Iesus" became "Jesus." The letter J did not exist in any language until approximately 500 years ago. It was invented as a variant of the letter I. The original 1611 King James Bible used "Iesus," not "Jesus."

The result: a name passed through three languages that retains none of the original Hebrew meaning. No "Yah." No "shua." No Father's name embedded. The meaning — "Yahuah is salvation" — is completely absent.

This is not an accusation against sincere believers. This is a documentation of what happened. The name was transliterated through languages that could not carry its meaning, and the result is that billions of people call upon a name that does not contain what the original contained.

The Third Commandment

"Thou shalt not take the name of Yahuah thy Elohim in vain: for Yahuah will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain."
Exodus 20:7

Most people think this commandment means "don't use His name as a curse word." But the Hebrew word translated "vain" is "shav" (שׁוְא). It means:

Hebrew Transliteration Meaning
שׁוְא Shav Emptiness, nothingness, worthlessness, desolation

"To bring to nothing." "To make empty." "To render worthless."

The command is not "don't say My name." The command is "don't bring My name to nothing."

The Violation

Removing His name nearly 7,000 times from Scripture and replacing it with a generic title IS bringing it to nothing. That is exactly what "shav" means.

The third commandment has been violated on a civilizational scale — not by people cursing, but by translators, scribes, and religious leaders who decided that the Creator's personal name should be erased and replaced with a title that means "Baal" in Hebrew.

The command was never "do not speak My name." The command was "do not make My name disappear." And that is precisely what was done.

Restoring the Name

The restoration is simple. It does not require a seminary degree. It does not require learning Hebrew. It requires only the willingness to call upon the Creator by the name He gave Himself — the name He said would be His memorial to all generations.

"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yahuah shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Yahuah hath said, and in the remnant whom Yahuah shall call."
Joel 2:32
"For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Yahuah, to serve Him with one consent."
Zephaniah 3:9
A pure language is coming. A language that restores the name. This prophecy is being fulfilled now, in our generation, as people around the world rediscover the sacred name.

Call upon Yahuah. Pray in the name of Yahusha. Teach your children. Speak it boldly.

The name was hidden for centuries. The prophecy said it would be. But it also said it would be restored. That restoration is happening now.

The Name is the message.

Summary

The Father's name is Yahuah (YHWH) — removed nearly 7,000 times from Scripture and replaced with "LORD" (Baal), fulfilling Jeremiah 23:27.

The Son's name is Yahusha — meaning "Yahuah is salvation." It contains the Father's name, as He Himself declared (John 5:43). It was transliterated through Greek, Latin, and English until no trace of the original meaning remained.

The third commandment forbids bringing His name to nothing (shav) — which is exactly what removing it 7,000 times accomplishes.

The prophets foretold the forgetting. They also foretold the restoration. Call upon the name of Yahuah. Be delivered.
