Conclusion of these thoughts

Brethren, to create only ONE person from these two:

YHWH the Father (who sits on the throne), and
Yeshua the Son (the Messiah, the Lamb);

Requires too much bending of terms, titles, names, logic, facts, and Scriptures. It is much better to accept the "sincere milk of the Word" (1 Pe.2:2), and "receive with meekness the engrafted Word" of YHWH (Ja.1:21),

"...which is able to instruct you for salvation through faith in the Messiah Yeshua. For all Scripture given by inspiration of YHWH is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of YHWH may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works" (2 Tim.3:16,17 KJV).

One good work which we should continually promote is FAITH; Faith in the following:

Faith in the one Supreme Being who has LIVED ETERNALLY. His Name is YHWH, the Creator of the heavens and the earh and all things in them.
Faith in YHWH's Son; Yeshua the Messiah, who DIED to redeem sinners and arose again the third day. He was "declared to be the Son of YHWH... by his resurrection from the dead (Rom.1:1-4).

Father YEHOVAH and His son YEHOSHUA do not share the same name. It is FATHER Yehovah Who gave His SON His name and that name is Yehoshua, not Yehovah. The name Yehoshua means ‘Yehovah is Redeemer’ which designates FATHER Yehovah as our Supreme Redeemer. Yehoshua said that his FATHER and his Almighty One [God] GAVE Him all power (authority) in heaven and in the earth.

The Father's Name is Yahweh. Does the son have the same, identical name? Let us look at the evidence.

"Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified [esteemed] in the son; if you ask anything in my name, I will do it" ([Yahchanan] John 14:13,14 RSV - brackets mine).

"In that day [time period] you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say unto you, if you ask anything of the Father, He will give it to you in my name. Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you will receive, ... In that day [time period] you will ask in my name and I do not say to you that I will pray the Father for you; for the Farther Himself loves you, because you have loved me and believed that I came from the Father" ([Yahchanan] John 16:23,24,26,27).

If the son's name was identical to that of the Father, why was it necessary for the Messiah to specify, "From now on, you must ask the Father in my name?" These men had always prayed to Yahweh the Father. Now the son admonishes them to ask "in my name." If the Father and the son had identical names, this would have not have been necessary.

Only the first letters of the names were identical (YAH). Scriptures and reference books reveal that the son's name was Yahshua, identical to that of the son of Nun; Yah-shua, meaning Yah(weh) saves [redeems]. *

Because these men (the son of Nun and the son of [Miraim] Mary) had identical names, the King James translators mistakenly wrote "J-sus" in two Scriptures where it should have been "Joshua" (Acts 7:45; Hebrews 4:8).

All scholars agree that the name of the son of Noun was NOT identical to that of the Heavenly Father. It was identical to that of the son of [Miriam] Mary. * Therefore the evidence indicates:

The Father's Name is

YAHWEH.

The son's name is

YAH-SHUA, or YAHWSHUA.

Webmasters Notes:

I would also like to point out that many refer to Messiah coming in the Name Yahweh as evidence that he and his Father Yahweh had identical names. David said that he had also come in the Name Yahweh.

Then said David to the Philistine, you come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to you in the Name of Yahweh of hosts, the Almighty One of the armies of Ysryl, whom you have defied (1 Samuyah [Samuel] 17:45).

Was David's Name Yahweh? Most certainly not! When Yahshua and David are said to come in the Name Yahweh, this is simply in reference to them coming in Fathers Yahweh's authority or power. Yahshua said that ALL power [authority] in heaven and in earth was given unto him by his Father Yahweh. David also was anointed as King by means of Father Yahweh just as Father Yahweh had anointed and appointed His son Yahshua to reign as King and as our High Priest after the order of Melchizedek in this last time period. Yahshua came in the Name Yahweh just a David came in the Name Yahweh. They most certainly were not in any way saying that their name was also Yahweh.

Father Yahweh gave His son the name Yahshua which in itself means 'Yahweh Is Redeemer" signifying that it is truly Father Yahweh Who is our Supreme Redeemer. Father Yahweh simply gave His son the power [authority] to redeem mankind from sin and death, since ALL power [authority] in heaven and in earth was given to him by his and our Father Yahweh. Yahshua was also given power to forgive sin by his and our Father Yahweh.

But that you may know that the son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up your bed, and go unto your house (Mattithyah [Matthew] 9:6; Yahchanan Mark 2:10; Luke 5:24).

And Yahshua came and spoke unto them, saying, ALL power is GIVEN unto mein heaven and in earth (Mattithyah [Matthew] 28:18).

The doctrine that the Messiah was also named Yahweh is just another false doctrine to further promote another false and deceptive doctrine that "Jesus Is God!".

Someone has just approached me with the following Scripture verse from the so-called "New Testament" erroneously believing that Father Yahweh literally gave His son His Name to be named by:

"I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given me, that they may be one even as we are (Yahchanan [John] 17:11).

My response is as follows:

"Surely Father Yahweh made His Name known unto His own son! It is in this sense that He gave His son His Name! Yahshua said that he had come in his Father's Name. The name Yahshua means 'Yahweh is Redeemer'. His and our Father Yahweh's Name is within his name YAHshua just as His Name is within many names of the other former prophets before him."

YAHWEH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

Jeremiah 23:5,6

4/17/97

"Behold, the days come, saith Yahweh, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a king shall reign and proper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his day Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is the name whereby he shall be called, The LORD [Yahweh] Our Righteousness" (Jer. 23:5,6 KJV).

Just as the name Yahshua means "Yahweh's salvation," so in the future time someone will, at least ceremonially, be called "Yahweh our righteousness." The question is, who? If indeed this speaks of Yahshua the Messiah, as some believe, wonderful. If not, so be it.

The subject in verse 5 is The Branch, but in verse 6 the salvation of Judah and Israel. The Berkely Version has a footnote on Jer. 23:6 which reads as follows:

"Receiving a name symbolizing the ideal character displayed by the NATION[Isa. 1:26; 61:11], for God, as we now know, in Christ, is the source of our righteousness" (Emphasis added).

Notice How It Reads

To arrive at a perfectly clear understanding, let us again carefully review Jeremiah 23:5,6.

"Behold, the days come, saith Yahweh, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a king shall reign and proper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth" (Jer. 23:5, KJV).

In verse 5, two parties are spoken of: (1) David, and (2) David's descendant, The Branch (Yahshua, the Messiah). At some future time, The Branch will reign and prosper.

In his [Yahshua'a] day Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, Yahweh Our Righteousness" (Jer. 23:6).

Notice: Judah and Israel will be saved (verse 6a). The first HIS (verse 6a) speaks of The Branch; not Judah, not Israel. Now for the second HIS. "And this is HIS name whereby HE shall be called, Yahweh Our Righteousness" (verse 6b). Question: To whom does the second His and He refer? To Judah and Israel, or to The Branch (Yahshua)?

The correct answer is, the second HIS and HE refer to Israel and Judah, not to The Branch (verse 6b). I say this with confidence because of the related prophecy which is almost identical:

"Behold, the days come, saith Yahweh, that I will perform that good thing which I promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness [Yahshua] to grow up unto David; and He [The Branch, Yahshua] shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalemshall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith SHE [Jerusalem] shall be called, Yahweh Our Righteousness" (Jer. 33:14-16).*

Is The Branch (Yahshua) a SHE? No. But Jerusalem was often referred to as "she;" sometimes a homonym for Judah also (Ezek. 16:1-8). Both Israel and Judah were sometimes spoken of as women {she} (Hosea 2:1-18; Amos 5:12;6:2). Jerusalem will be called, "Yahweh is there" (Ezek. 48:35). Jerusalem will be called "the city of righteousness, the faithful city" (Isa. 1:1,26).

Of several other versions which agree fully with the King James Version, the Beck Version is crystal clear:

"Then Judah will be saved and Jerusalem live without danger, and the CITYwill be called "The-LORD-our-righteousness" [Yahweh-our-righteousness] (Jer. 33:16 Beck Version).

Conclusion

The title, Yahweh Our Righteousness" is not a reference to Yahshua, but to Judah, Israel, and especially to Jerusalem. This will occur at a future time when Yahweh and Yahshua the Messiah execute judgment and justice in the earth (Jer. 23:6) Obviously, that time has not yet come, because justice is not in the earth today. We wait for that day with patience (Rom. 8:18-26).

Blessed will be the day when Jerusalem will be called "Yahweh our righteousness."

Come Yahshua Messiah.

* A footnote in the Berkely Version reads as follows" "Our righteousness due to God: expression of the ideal character which the NATION will then display [ch. 23:6]; future ideal king, see the symbolic name, 'the LORD is there,' in Ezek. 48:35" (Emphasis added).
