254How The Savior's Name Was ChangedThe Latin translation was then madeprimarily from the Greek text, bypassingthe original Hebrew.Yahshua = Iesous in GreekAs the Savior‘s Name was thentransliterated into the Latin directlyfrom the Greek translation, we have themasculine, nominative singular endingin “s,” which was erroneously broughtinto the Latin as Iesous, and laterbecame Iesus.When the capital “I” was given acursive tail around the year 1500 C.E.to become the “J,” it also took up thesound of the French “J” as in “journal”.His name soon was corrupted to “Jesus”in English.However, in Latin the “j” is soundedas “i” in police, or “ee”. The Balkancountry Yugoslavia was once spelledJugoslavia, but was pronounced as it istoday, Yugoslavia .Maps at the turn of the centuryoften identified the U.S.S.R. as „SowjetRussiah.“ The „j“ had the „ee“ soundand the „w“ had the Germanic „v“sound. The word „major“ is pronouncedas „mayor“ in both Latin and German.June and July are pronounced“ Yune“and „Yuly.“All of this may be burdensomeand technical, but necessary to showthe evidence that the name of theHebrew Savior is Yahshua. He camein His Father‘s name, „YAH.“ Had theChristian translators gone back to theoriginal Hebrew His Name could havebeen faithfully preserved in the correctform „Yahshua.“ Instead, His Namewas taken from the Greek into Latin,and then English, losing the Hebrewand we end up with a Latinized-Greekhybrid instead of the holy, saving NameYahshua. It is like taking loose changerepeatedly from one pocket to placein another and losing a little of it eachtime.Necessity of His NameHis name means „the Salvation ofYah.“ Nothing like this can be gleanedfrom the man-made, erroneous name„Jesus,“ which developed from firstthe superstitious Jewish scribes,and then perpetuated through theignorance of Christian scholars whowere ridiculed by the Jews for theirlack of linguistic knowledge of Hebrew.Paul reveals, „Yahweh also hasexalted [Yahshua] and given Him aname which is above every name, thatat the name of Yahshua every kneeshould bow...“ (Phil. 23:9-10). The NameYahweh gave to Mary by which His Sonwas to be called was Yahshua! This canbe proved from margin notes in Matthew1:21 and Luke 1:31 in most Bibles. Thetranslators substituted and disguisedthe holy Name, giving us the erroneoushybrid Jesus. It simply is not His Name!Furthermore, Paul says that theentire family of Yahweh will be called bythe precious name of „Yah,“ Eph. 3:15.Some of the prophets carried His name,such as IsaYah, ObadYah, ZephanYah,ZecharYah, and JeremYah.We are to be given a specific nameby the Father, and by which we willbe known. How can anyone despise,ridicule and reject the Name Yahwehnow, and then love and reverence it –and be called by it – in the Kingdom?Names in the Bible have deepsignificance and have definite meanings.They give us deeper understanding. Hehas thus set before us an open door formore truth. His salvation is in the Nameof His Son, Yahshua, “and we are tokeep His word and not deny His Name,”Revelation 3:8. Under heaven there isnone other name than Yahshua andthrough Him we have salvation.© 2007 Yahweh’s Assembly in Yahshua2963 County Road 233, Kingdom City ,Missouri 65262www.YAIY.org
