Walking In His Name

Believing in the Name of the Savior

The sons of God, who are to be unveiled in these latter days, must have a special understanding and relationship with the true name of God. They will have cut through the weak, baseless utterances of the words “in Jesus’ name” and will have arrived at a solid understanding of God’s true name. They will know that His name is much more than a tag or handle to distinguish Him from Buddha or Osiris or Apollo. They will not only know what His name means, but they will have incorporated the power from its meaning into their lives.

They will know that because of His own name and what it means, He will perform acts of mercy upon the downtrodden. They will also know that they share His name, that He as their Father has given His own name to them.

The Lost Sheep Don’t Know His Name

But the masses of God’s people, the lost sheep of the whole House of Israel, don’t even know who they are, much less who He is and what His name is and what it means. They do not realize that the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Celtic, Scandinavian peoples of the earth are the fleshly descendents of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel and are possessors of the birthright blessings of their forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob whose name was changed to Israel. These peoples of Western European heritage are the only group of people that can fulfill the prophecies given to the twelve tribes of Israel by both Jacob in Genesis 49 and by Moses in Deuteronomy 33. And of Joseph he said, Blessed of Yahweh (the LORD) be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath. And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon. And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills, and for the precious things of the earth and the fullness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren. His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns; with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. Deuteronomy 33:13-17.

The blessings given to the twelve tribes of Jacob/Israel by their father by inspiration of God in Genesis 49 reads in superlatives concerning Joseph. Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: the blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren. Genesis 49:25-26. And Jacob was giving this as a prophecy as to what would happen to his offspring “in the last days” (Genesis 49:1). There can only be one country and one group of people who could fulfill all of these astounding prophecies for these last days.

And the sons will know their own genealogical roots; they will know where they are from and where they are going. They will know their Father, the God of Israel. They will know His true name and they will know what His name means. And they will believe in what His name means.

The definition of to believe as found in the New Century Dictionary is “to have belief in; credit; accept as true.” To believe, then, is to credit that something is true. If I believe in something, then I believe in what that something means. If I believe in the Constitution of the United States, then I put credence in what the Constitution says and means. If I say that I do not believe in the Communist Manifesto, then I am saying that I do not accept as true what it says and means.

In like manner, if I say that I believe in the name of the Savior, then I first need to find out what His name is, then find out what it means, and then believe in its meaning.

We are commanded by the Savior to believe in His name. And this is His commandment, that we should believe on the name of his Son…I John 3:23. But then the translators of King James do us all a terrible disservice in carrying over the Greek name for the Savior, Iesous/Iesus/Jesus. We have been led astray by this. For if you try to extract any meaning out of the name Iesous/Jesus, you won’t get any. It has no meaning in the Greek, Latin, or English.

“Jesus” Was NOT the Name of the Saviour—

Four Concise Proofs

First, would devout Hebrew parents name any of their children a Greek name—much less the long-awaited Messiah, a child conceived miraculously by a virgin and announced by none other than the angelic being Gabriel himself? All Bible encyclopedias and dictionaries witness to the fact that “Jesus” is derived from the Latin, which in turn was taken from the Greek.

Second, the name “Jesus” simply cannot be the Savior’s name because the letter “J” was not in the English alphabet until the 1600’s. “J” was derived from the consonantal “I.” “Iesus” was the Roman Latin spell-ing, which is from the earlier Greek “Iesous” (See the Encyclopedia Britannica, 11^th edition, under “J.” Also the Encyclopedia Americana article entitled “J”). Third, the Savior said, “I am come in my Father’s name.” Do you honestly believe that the Father in heaven is named after the Greek god, Iaso/Iesous?

Fourth, in Psalms 68:4 David flat out tells us what the Father’s name is. Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH. Since “J” did not exist as a letter until the 17^th century, and since it took the place of “I,” then that would make the Father’s name “Iah.” But we know that “Y” is used interchangably with the letter “I” in scores of words in English. That makes the Father’s name YAH. At least that is what King David called his God. And David was a man after God’s own heart. David knew what he was talking about! The question that we must ask ourselves is, do we know what we are talking about, especially when we call the Creator a name other than what David, Moses, Abraham, and all the rest of the patriarchs and prophets called Him.

We would all do well to start calling the Father by the name that David commanded us to praise Him with. And the Messiah came in His Father’s name, Yah. In fact, the Savior’s name means, Yah-Is-Savior. And His name is Yahshua. At least that’s what Jeremyah, Isayah, Nehemyah, Obadyah, Zephanyah, and Zecharyah called Him. Halleluyah!

Hebrew Names Have Definite Meanings

“In the oriental world (of which Israel is a part) a person’s name is more than a label to call him by. It is actually a description of that person or object. In other words, it describes its nature. Therefore, when the Bible says ‘in the name of’, it means ‘in the manner or nature of’” (Bruce G. Warr, Ph.D., U. of Maryland). Or else why would they say, “Thou shalt call His name __________, for He shall save His people from their sins” in Mt. 1:21? In so many words it is saying, “His name means Savior because He shall save His people from their sins.” The word, the name “Jesus” does not mean anything, much less “Savior.” The person that they tagged “Jesus” means something very precious, but the name the translators gave Him does not mean what His life represents—which is Savior.

First, what is the Savior’s name, and does its meaning have anything to do with savior, salvation, saving, or the like? If you look up “Jesus” in Strong’s Concordance, it will point you to #3091 in the Hebrew text. Looking that up, we see the Hebrew characters transliterated into Yehowshuwa’, yeh-ho-shoo’-ah, or Yahshua, as it came down to us at the time of the birth of the Messiah. “The fact that the Greek Dictionary (No. 2424) refers the reader back to the Hebrew section of Strong’s Concordance clearly shows that the name “Jesus” stems from the Hebrew Yahshua.” (“The Mistaken J,” Yahweh’s New Covenant Assembly, p. 21. This booklet can be obtained from them at P.O. Box 50, Kingdom City, MO 65262).

The Savior’s name Yahshua means “Yahweh is Sal-vation” or “Yah is Savior,” or “The Self-Existent One is Savior.” No less than seven times does Yahweh say through Isaiah that He Yahweh is the Savior! See Isa. 43:3, 11, and 45:15, to name a few. Yahweh is the Savior! Period. That is the revelation that He wants us to get. When is somebody going to shout “Praise Yahweh the Savior!” I want to hear that come out of somebody’s mouth pretty soon. If we will praise Yahweh as the Savior, then we will soon get into Isaiah’s spiritual walk-category. Now that would be something!

Do we believe that the prophet Isaiah knew something that we don’t know? He is the one that saw One sitting on a throne in heaven, and he said, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of hosts. 6:5.

Do we honestly think that the prophet Isaiah knew what he was talking about? I for one am going to cast my lot with him. He saw Yahweh, the King, and Yahweh said through Isaiah, “I am the Savior, and beside me there is no savior.”

“In the name” means “inside the name of Yahshua.” I write a mystery here; go to the meaning that is found inside His name. Go inside what His name means and you’ll find the whole plan of God. You will find “Yahweh is Savior—Yah coming down to earth saving us.

Therefore, believing in His name is believing what His true name means; His name Yahshua means “Yah, the Self-Existent One, is Savior.” Walking in His name is really believing in His name.
