1 | What are the names we should call upon? | Joel 2:32 | BradK | 163314 | ||
Hi Chris, I can only answer your first question in part- for now. Much can be said but time prohibits me for now. David Hocking writes in his current newsletter an article titled: "His name is Yeshua" "He is called by English-speaking believers "JESUS CHRIST" but the name "Christ" (from the Greek christos) is NOT His last name! It is the word for "Messiah"- His Hebrew name Yehoshua (abbr. as "Yeshua") means "The LORD is salvation"- the name "Jesus" in English is a transliteration of the Greek word Yesous which is the translation of the Hebrew word. When Jewish believers refer to Him they say "Yeshua HaMashiach" or "Jesus the Messiah"." Tyndale's bible Dictionary says this about tetragrammaton: "TETRAGRAMMATON* Term referring to the four consonants of one of the primary Hebrew names, for God (from Greek tetra, “four,” and gramma, “a letter of the alphabet”). These letters are the Hebrew equivalents of English Y (or J), H, W, and H. The most widely accepted meaning of the name is “the one who is, that is, the absolute and unchangeable one.” This is the name the Lord revealed to Moses (Ex 3:15; cf. vv 13–14; Jn 8:56–58). According to the Ten Commandments, the Jews were not to take this name in vain (Ex 20:2, 7). The Jews, therefore, regarded the name as so holy that they would not pronounce it but said instead Adonai, “Lord.” Originally the text was written only with consonants, but when the scholars called Masoretes added the vowel points, they inserted the vowels for Adonai as a reminder not to read the sacred name. Non-Hebraists combined the vowels of Adonai with the consonants of JHWH, producing a new form, “Jehovah,” which does not exist in the Hebrew language. The correct pronunciation of the name must have been Yahweh, but most translations render it Lord, using capital letters to distinguish it from other uses of the English word “Lord.”" I hope this will head us in the right direction:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
