n the thread that led me offsite and into the last two weeks of research brought me back here and to Gérard.


Somerset’s Harvard Theological Review article only seemed to confirm my understanding as the name that has become Jehovah is not our Father’s and is instead both blasphemous and used in ancient magick associated with ancient Babylon mystery religions, Gnosticism and Freemasonry.


I ended up with a smattering of new pages on my work-in-progress website as well as being engaged in reading several books, a list to follow (your comments and critique appreciated, remembering that I’m perhaps softer skinned than others!) ☺


As for the other thread, you followed up saying that you agree with me that JWs overuse Jehovah — I don’t believe that the overuse it, I believe it’s a pagan name which while the innocent as dove’s believe it to be our Father’s name, they are not cautious as serpents — proclaiming it to the whole world as THE name. I understand your comment about not looking for an invented word in a Hebrew Lexicon, however, I care about what things mean — before I’d decide to name my child a name I created myself, I’d certainly do the research to find out what connotations and denotations it has. Strong’s #3050 is clear, and while invoking the name Jehovah, they treat it in the same manner as original language name. Thus, Yah becomes Jah, and it then becomes confusing — just how do you go from “hawah” to “hovah”, if not by mischief? The intent is a somber joke — yes, he promised calamity and ruin on judgment day.


It’s the simpler points that hit home with me, the poetry of the original name, the breathing vowel sounds. The pronunciation of theophoric Hebrew proper names passed down generation-to-generation (of four variations), the patronymic name Yehudah YHWDH, and the family name Yehoshua.


When I pray at night, now, I practicing breathing those Hebrew vowels as his name. At least I know that it’s far closer than “Jehovah”, and is based on the witness of countless Hebrews both in the bible and those today who bear the name of the Father in their own. (I spoke to the Exalted Name guy who’s publishing a new bible version — he’s changing all the names to use “yeh”, as in Eliyah > Elijah > Eliyeh. I had the gall to ask him how people would feel about his changing the spelling of their names — I hope he will respond, I really do wonder his thinking. His quote below.)


Furthermore, wherever the Hebrew 3050 is used, which is the abbreviated form of His name, it will customarily be found in use with another Hebrew word, thereby forming a name or an expression. The abbreviated presentation of His name is YEH, and we find that name hidden throughout Scripture in connective names like: Joel, Elijah, Judah and Benjamin, and it is hidden in the New Covenant as well in names, and even in words like, Halleluyeh… Those corrections are also made within The Exalted Name Bible™, which eliminates another few thousand misinterpretations. — Exalted Bible, on replacing Strong’s #3050 with “Yeh”
