Is His Name Jehovah or Yahweh?259names like Isaiah (IsaYah), Jeremiah(JeremYah), Zephaniah (ZephanYAH),Nehemiah (NehemYAH), and othernames ending in „iah.“ Yah means „Iexist,“ „I am,“ „I create,“ or „I will be orbring into being.“Yah is the poetic or short form ofHis Name found to have survivedtranslators in Psalm 68:4 of theKing James Version. It is the prefixof the name Jehovah as found inStrong‘s Exhaustive Concordancewhich is most interesting and showsthe fallacy of the name Jehovah.Shocking Implications of ‚Jehovah‘We now see how the first part of theSacred Name „Yah“ was changed to„Jeh“ as the „J“ developed and the „a“was replaced with „e“ to hide the name.The suffix „hovah“ is No. 1943 inStrong‘s Hebrew Dictionary and has themeaning of „ruin: mischief.“ It is anotherform of No. 1942, havvah, which istranslated „calamity, iniquity, mischief,mischievous (thing), naughtiness,naughty, noisome, perverse thing,substance, very wickedness.“Brown, Driver, Briggs, Geseniussays of No. 1943, hovah: „ruin, disaster.“From this we can see the folly ofcalling the Creator of this universetheOne we worship-Jehovah. For incalling upon this hybrid name we arein actuality beseeching a mighty onewhose name carries the meaning, „TheOne Who creates ruin, creates mischief,creates calamity, creates iniquity,creates naughtiness, creates perversethings, creates very wickedness.“Satan must certainly have afield day when mankind ignorantlyrefers to Yahweh by the name Jehovah-aname that perfectly fitsSatan himself as the Destroyer!Yahweh: ‚He Will Become...‘Knowing its Hebrew meaning, howcan we possibly call our HeavenlyFather „Jehovah“?

His Name Yahweh meansHe Who will become whatever we, Hispeople, need of Him at that time. He willbecome our Healer, Provider, Protector,Sustainer, Guide, Shepherd, Keeper,etc., as well as our Savior through HisSon Yahshua.Now that you know that Jehovahis a man-made hybrid, cleanseyour lips of it, as was the case withIsaiah (6:6-7). Call upon the NameYahweh, which is revealed to thosewith whom He is in a covenantrelationship. He will be whatever youneed of Him and will joyfully fulfill themeaning of His Name in your life!‚Yahweh‘ in the Ten CommandmentsMost Christians are not taught theimportance of observing ALL theCommandments. Most skip over thefirst five and concentrate on thoseCommandments dealing with our fellowman: killing, lying, stealing, adultery,coveting. These certainly are importantin guiding our daily life.Yet, is it not even MORE important thatwe serve faithfully our Heavenly FatherYahweh in the way He expects? We aretold repeatedly throughout Scripture torevere His Name. How can we revereHis Name if we never invoke the Namethat He has so lovingly revealed to Hispeople? Can we set His Name asideand ignore it?Note that the first three of the TenCommandments deal with Yahwehand His powerful Name. In the originalHebrew, the first five Commandmentsuse His Name Yahweh ten times! OurHeavenly Father inspired Moses to
