𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s Placing His Name

𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH or YAHWEH), in extraordinary ways, includes His name in many things. What is most interesting is how He merged His name into words, places, and people that belong to Him. The first integrated word that might come to mind is HalleluYAH, but the integration of Hallelu and YAH is only the beginning of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s influence on language. The insertion of YAH, Ya, Ye, ah, el, al, and iah all point to the Creator. (Note: el and al point to Elohim or Alohim, not “G O D.” Additionally, the “iah” was used to hide the name YAH, like Jeremiah-YermeYAHU, Isaiah-YeshaYAHU, and Hezekiah-HezekYAH).

Words

The Hebrew word “Hallelu-YAH” meaning Praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH or YAHWEH), is a great example of YAH putting his name into a word. Some believe HalleluYAH to be a form of praising YAH and say it is the highest praise. Others believe it to be a command to literally “Praise YAH” for his blessings, faithfulness, compassion, grace, and mercy. The most powerful thing about HalleluYAH is that despite its pure Hebrew origins, the word is found in almost every language under the sun, and it has remained unchanged, meaning and all. The name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, through the way of praise, was not touched by the ineffable doctrine, thus preserving the name of the Most High. (Psalms 106:1, 111:1, 112:1, 113:1, 117:1, 135:1, 146:1,10, 147:1, 148,1 Revelations 19:1,3-4,6)

1. And after these things, I heard a great voice of a large multitude in Heaven, saying, HalleluYAH! The salvation and the glory and the honor and the power of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 our Elohim! 

3. And a second time they said, HalleluYAH! Also her smoke goes up forever and ever. 

4. And the twenty four elders, and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 sitting on the throne, saying, Amen! HalleluYAH! 

6. And I heard as a sound of a numerous crowd, and as a sound of many waters, and as a sound of strong thunders, saying, HalleluYAH! Because 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, Elohim, Almighty reigns.

People

𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 named the descendants of Avraham (Abraham), Yitzhak (Issac), and Ya’aqob (Jacob) Yahshar’el. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 placed His name upon these people, His people. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 promised Abraham in Genesis 22:17 that he would multiply his “descendants as the stars of the Heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore.” 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 tells Issac that the blessings of Abraham are on him and reminds him of the blessings in Genesis 26:1–5.

Genesis 28:13–14 tells Jacob’s encounter with 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 in which he was promised the blessing of Abraham and Issac. Years later, Issac found himself alone and face to face with 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 at Peni’El.

Genesis 32:22-32 tells the complete account of Jacob wrestling with YAH all night and declaring that he would not stop fighting until YAH blessed him. It was then that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 bestowed the full blessing of Abraham on Jacob by renaming him a nation, the nation of Yahshar’el (Israel), an integration of His name and his people. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 named His people, and the 12 tribes of Yahshar’el came from the 12 sons of Jacob. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 fused His name into the name of his people. “Baruch HaShem 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄!”

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Places 

Jacob named two places, which were Beth’EL and Peni’El; both were significant places and are known today. Beth’EL, meaning “House of ELOHIM,” and Peni’El, meaning “I saw 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 face to face.” Upon Beth’el, Jacob vowed a vow to follow 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 if He protected him. Peni’El was named after the place Jacob fought with 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 until he blessed him. Both were an integration of YAH and a place.

And he called the name of that place, Beit-El (Bethel). And yet the name of the city was at first Luz.

Genesis 28:19 (HRB)

And Jacob called the name of the place Peni’El †, because I saw Elohim face to face, and my life is delivered.

Conclusion

Throughout the scriptures, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has left many clues for us to follow and discover His name. These breadcrumbs can be seen in the names of people, places, and even in the language itself. YAH has embedded His name into many aspects of His creation. As His followers, we must always remember His name, praise His name, and give glory to His name. In last week’s Food for Thought, “Does the Name of the Most High Matter?” we went over how the ineffable doctrine attempted to hide 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH/YAHWEH), but as you can see 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will never let His name be forgotten. So My people shall know My name thus in that day; for I Am He speaking. Behold Me! Isaiah 52:6

The post Integration of His Name appeared first on Journal Thy Journey.

Our Heavenly Father blessed us with His perfect and sacred name and allowed us to record it as  𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and יהוה. His name holds immense power and significance and is worthy of remembrance and praise. However, over the centuries, His wonderful name was erased from multiple historical records and replaced with titles such as Adonai, Lord, and “G o d”. These titles, while they may be used to refer to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 The Most High, are not qualified titles, definitely aren’t names, nor do they give our Father the praise and honor that He desires or deserves. On top of all of this, these titles have led people away from knowing and understanding the name of our Creator and are in direct violation of the third commandment: “You shall not take the name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim in vain.” This Food for Thought will be about 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, however the same was done to His son’s name יֵשׁוּעַ (Yahshua) as well.

13 And Moses said to the Elohim, Behold, I shall come to the sons of Yahshar’el and say to them, the Elohe of your fathers has sent me to you; and they will say to me, What is His name? What shall I say to them? 

14 And Elohim said to Moses, EHYAH ASHER EHYAH (I AM THAT I AM); and He said, You shall say this to the sons of Yahshar’el, EHYAH (I AM) has sent me to you. 

15 And Elohim said to Moses again, You shall say this to the sons of Yahshar’el, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 or יהוה, the Elohe of your fathers, the Elohe of Abraham, the Elohe of Isaac, and the Elohe of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is how I should be remembered from generation to generation

Call Upon, Praise, and Glorify!

When reading the Bible, you will come across multiple scriptures that tell us to call upon, worship, and give glory to His name and how others praised and honored the Creator by using His Name. Scriptures such as Genesis 13:4, Deuteronomy 28:10, 1 Chronicles 16:29, Isaiah 12:4, Isaiah 42:8, Isaiah 52.6, Psalms 29:2, Psalms 5:11, Psalms 7:17, Psalms 8:1, Psalms 9:2, Psalms 20:7, Psalms 83:18, and Psalms 113:1-2, Psalms 115:1. One of my favorites scriptures about the name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 was when Eliyahu in 1 Kings 18:24 told the prophets of Baal, “…call on the name of your elohim; and I will call on the name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄; and it shall be, the Elohim who answers by fire, He is the Elohim…” Do you think Eliyahu called on Adonai, Lord, and “G O D” or do you think he called his Elohim by His name? If Abba YAH desires to be called upon, worshipped, and glorified by and with His name, how will you do this without knowing His name?

1 And afterward Moses and Aaron came in and said to Pharaoh, So says 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 or יהוה the Elohim of Yahshar’el, Send away My people, and they shall feast to Me in the wilderness. 

2 And Pharaoh said, Who is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 that I should listen to His voice to send away Israel? I do not know 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and I also will not send Yahshar’el away.

History of How 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Was Removed, Changed, and Ignored

The Yahudim (Jews) ceased to use the name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 due to the ineffable name doctrine established during the time of Greek Hellenization of the Yahudim. Hellenization refers to the influence of Greek language, philosophy, and culture on non-Greeks. As Judaism and Christianity became universal religions through proselytizing in the Greco-Roman world, the ineffable doctrine began to grow roots and settle in. The common noun elohim was mistranslated as “G O D”, which is actually the false idol “gad” or “gawd” whom you will learn more about shortly. “G O D” was then used to replace and change 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. This mistranslation was done to falsely represent the universal sovereignty of Yahshar’el’s Elohim over all other gods as another instead of as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. Inclusive, at the same time, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 was increasingly regarded as too sacred or holy to be spoken aloud. As a result, it was then replaced and articulated by the Hebrew word Adonai (Lord or Baal), which was transliterated as Kyrios (Lord) in the Septuagint, the Greek version of the Old Testament, then translated to Latin and then to English leaving us with Lord.

Please note that the 1560 Geneva Bible and 1611 KJV Bible did transliterate 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 to Iehouah or lehovah, which indicated that the name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 was known. Also, the current KJV in Psalms 68:4 includes Jah and the NKJV includes Yah, indicating that the name is known.

The evolution of languages and culture among the Yahudim (Jews) and their adoption of Greek influences, which were full of paganism, was astounding but not new. Yahshar’el has a history of wanting to be like the other nations (1 Samuel 8:5,7,19-20). They also have a history of replacing 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 with Baal. Remember when Yahshar’el came out of Egypt? They knew 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 brought them out of slavery, but they built a golden calf (Egyptian bull god Apis or Canaanite fertility god Baal “Lord”) and said, “These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 32:4) Therefore, giving the glory to another el.

The Yahudim’s reasonings for the ineffable doctrine on the surface may have seemed honorable to them and maybe even reasonable to you. Still, they are unscriptural and, in fact, against scripture. They were and are attempts to improve on 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s already perfect Word and or hide the true name of the Most High. If 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 wanted His name substituted out, his glory shared or given to another, or for His name not to be used. Why would He give us His name at all, place it in the original text over 7,000 times, instruct us not to take His name in vain, and warn that He will not give his glory to another?

Taking the Name in Vain

You shall not take the name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim in vain; for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will not leave unpunished the one who takes His name in vain.

Shemoth Exodus 20:7 and Dabarim Deuteronomy 5:11 (HRB)

I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (יהוה‎ in block script); that is My name; and I will not give My glory to another, nor My praise to engraved images.

Yashayahu Isaiah 42:8 (HRB)

In this and all Food for Thoughts I recommend you read the Scripture(s) provided and the entire chapter they are from to obtain more insight.

Definition of Vain:

• Having or showing undue or excessive pride in one’s appearance or achievements: CONCEITED
• Marked by futility or ineffectualness: unsuccessful, useless
• Having no real value: idle, worthless
• Foolish, Silly 

Definition of Shav Hebrew word for “in vain”:

• Change, falsify, or to make common
• Emptiness, falsehood, nothingness, worthlessness

Though scripture says to follow 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 rather than man (Acts 5:29), we find that nearly 7,000 times, the most important name of all 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 was replaced and changed with another word that uninspired men have chosen. The ineffable doctrine has traversed through time and has directly taken the name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 in vain. 

• The doctrine has changed and falsified the name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. 
• The doctrine has made it seem foolish or not very intelligent for people to use the name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. 
• The doctrine has attempted to bring the name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 to nothingness and worthlessness by removing it from the mouth of His people.

So why do people continue with this doctrine today? The answer is simple. Through blind ignorance, it was passed down from generation to generation, partially due to the unknown tradition of the doctrine and partially because that’s what was and is in the majority of Bibles printed. 

This doctrine of Satan was created so that the name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 would be lost and forgotten and so that he could receive the glory as “G O D”. Think about it, “G O D” was implanted throughout multiple cultures, and there is no way to determine who is being spoken of in a world with numerous religions and faiths that all use “G O D”. This is simply another tool Satan has created to usher in his one-world religion under one “G O D”, himself. When people, celebrities, and organizations like the Pope, Oprah, and The United States Government say there are many gods and many ways to “G O D”, this is also a part of that delusion.

If you consider yourself to be Yahshar’el or a Bible Believing Believer, I’m certain that some part of you believes that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 inspired all the scriptures in the Bible. Am I correct? Ok, If I am correct, then you must believe Deuteronomy 4:2 and Revelation 22:18-19. In these scriptures, our Creator explicitly tells us that we should not remove or change anything in His Word. Again, I repeat, “nearly 7,000 times”, the most important name of all, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, was replaced and changed with another word (title or deity). 

Who inspired, deceived, or encouraged man to make these changes? Who motivated or permitted man to replace the Creator’s name with that of manufactured pagan deities? Who changed the truth into a lie, Satan himself! (Romans 1:25)

The Paganism in the Titles Chosen.

But you are those who forsake 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, who forget My holy mountain; who array a table for Gawd H1409 (The Babylonian Deity of fortune), and who fill mixed wine for Meni (The Deity of fate). 

Yashayahu Isaiah 65:11 (HRB)

Definition of “G O D”:

• Strongs Concordance Word: H1409 Gad pronounced gawd or god. “G O D” is the modern way to write the Hebrew name of the pagan diety, ‘GAAD,’ pronounced GAWD (“G O D”).
• Gawd or “god” is the name of the Babylonian deity of fortune and meni is the name of the deity of fate. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is rebuking the people for exchanging His exulted name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 with the name of the false deity “god.” (HRB Notes for Isaiah 65:11)
• The “G O D” of fortune imprinted on US currency as “In “G O D” we Trust”

Definition of Lord:

• Strongs Concordance Word: H1168
• An England Title given to men
• Baal –  An ancient Canaanite-Phoenician deity

Definition of Jehovah:

• Strongs Concordance Root Word: H1943 – Meaning ruin and disaster
• A Latin word

Did Yahshua Teach the Name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄?

And this is everlasting life, that they may know You, the Elohim of truth, and Yahshua Messiah, whom You have sent.

Yahukanon John 17:3 (HRB)

I revealed Your name to the men whom You gave to Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me; and they have kept Your Word.

Yahukanon John 17:6 (HRB)

And I made known Your name to them, and will make it known, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.

Yes, Yahshua most certainly did teach the name of his Father 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. This is the last piece of evidence that we need to complete this study. If Yahshua knew that we must know the Father and a part of us knowing the Father was to know His name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, then that settles the case. We are to know the Father’s name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and use it. The name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 was meant for Yahshar’el and followers of the Way (Bible Believing Believers) to know and use.

Why Are the Names of False Idols and Deities Found More in the Bible the Name of the Most High?

Conclusion

Many Believers, through ignorance, are following the Ineffable name doctrine to a fault, while others know and choose to ignore the truth. I have three questions for you:

1. Do you believe that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 would allow His name to be lost?
2. Do you believe that man has the right to Translate 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s name or His son’s name into other languages or match them with false idols?
3. Do you think it’s a coincidence that the name of the Most High is on the rise and on the lips of many today?
4. Have you ever wondered what HalleluYAH (hallel-u-YAH) meant?
   • It’s a Hebrew word, and it means Hallelu (Praise) YAH (YAHWEH or YAHUAH)
5. Why are the name’s of false deities and idols in the Bible more than 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄?

The Name of The Most High should have never been translated, transliterated, altered, or changed. It should have been taught all around the world the same way it was given. I have heard many say I’m not a Hebrew or a Jew, so why would I say YAHWEH or YAHUAH? 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is not His Hebrew name, it is His Name. Just like David is not my English name, it is my name. Rest assured, you will not turn into a Hebrew or Yahshar’elite by saying 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. Have you turned into a Latin-speaking Roman by saying Jehovah which is a Latin word?

Think about this – When you were a baby or child, you knew your parents as Dad and Mom, as you grew older, you began to know your parents, and in knowing them, you learned their names. Let’s move on from milk to meat, from shallowness to a deeper understanding and relationship with the Father (1 Corinthians 3:1-2). I employ you to gain more knowledge and wisdom through studying and researching the Word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. Learn the ways of the faith and Elohim that you say you love.

Please do not gloss over Isaiah 65:11. Yahshar’el has done this before, replacing Him and His name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 with “G O D”. And this is what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said he would do to them in Isaiah 65:12-15 

12 And I will number you to the sword; and you shall all bow down to the slaughter; because I called and you did not answer. I spoke, and you did not hear; and you did the evil in My eyes; and you chose that in which I had no pleasure.

13 So 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 says this: Behold, My servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry. Behold, My servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty. Behold, My servants shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed. 

14 Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry from heartbreak, and howl from breaking of spirit. 

15 And you shall leave your name for a curse to My elect. And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall kill you; and He shall call His servants by another name.

The Devils Idea(s)

The devil, known as the deceiver in Revelation 12:9 and the father of lies in John 8:44, along with his children, are skilled at implanting ideas in people’s minds. It is often through suggestions, subtle influence, mental manipulation, belief systems, and false religions that the devil and his children manipulate and influence the thoughts and beliefs of others. This means that they can skillfully plant ideas in your mind by nudging your thoughts in a particular direction, all with the intention of leading you astray from the truth and further away from YAH 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 or יהוה.

The ability to deceive and manipulate is a powerful tool, and it is something that Bible Believing Believers should be aware of when trying to discern what is true and what is not. To protect ourselves from the schemes of the devil and his followers, we must become true disciples of YAH 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. This involves the discipline of studying the word of YAH 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 daily, praying to Him daily, worshiping Him in spirit and truth daily, and allowing the Ruach to lead everyday. By doing so, we become more vigilant and discerning, which helps us avoid falling prey to the devil and his followers, especially the “Tares“- those planted by the devil in the body of Yahshua, as mentioned in Matthew 13:24-43.

Polytheistic Deception

Definition of Polytheism:

• The belief in multiple deities, which are usually assembled into a pantheon of gods and goddesses, along with their own religious sects and rituals.The state of being whole and undivided

Definition of Monotheism:

• The belief that there is only one El, an all-supreme being that is universally referred to incorrectly as God (Gawd or modernized as Gad), see Strong’s Concordance number H1409).

The devil is responsible for drawing the world into the web of polytheistic deception, lulling many to sleep with this poison, causing them to serve and believe in his many-god, any-god, any god other than YAH יהוה theology. This very deception is how Satan will cause the inhabitants of the world to worship him under a one-world religion. It’s worth noting that the One World Religion Headquarters has already been constructed in Abu Dhabi and is supported by three of the world’s five major religions, namely Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. However, let’s not get ahead of ourselves and start from the beginning with the creator of Polytheism. It all started millenniums ago with Cush, the oldest son of Ham and grandson to Noah. So we will start there and then move on to Nimrod(1, 2, 3), Semiramis, and Tammuz, the creators of the mystery Religion(s) in Babylon” thousands of years ago.

The Beginning of Polytheism

Cush married Semiramis, and together, they had several children, but one of their most notable offspring was Nimrod, whose name means we will rebel. Nimrod was a skilled hunter and a mighty hero in the land before YAH יהוה (Genesis 10:8-12). He also was the same Nimrod who arrogantly and rebelliously built the Tower of Babilu, better known as Babel. Interestingly, Babilu means the gate of god, but it can also mean son of Bel. It is possible that Nimrod named the city after himself, as he was the son of Bel (Cush), which you will see in a moment.

Exaltation and Deification

Definition of Deification:

• to make a god of

According to some historical records and writings, Cush exalted and deified himself as the pagan god Baal, Bel, and sun god Ra (father god). Semiramis deified herself as Ashtoreth, the Queen of Heaven (mother god). Cush would later be disgraced, and his wife Semiramis left him and married her son Nimrod. Nimrod took on the role of Baal (father god), usurping his father, either in addition to or instead of. Nimrod was later killed by his Uncle Shem for lifting himself up as a god and leading people into false worship. In an effort to remain Queen and maintain power, Semiramis somehow becomes pregnant with Tammuz and convinces the kingdom that she conceived Tammuz divinely by Nimrod-Baal and Tammuz is Baal Reborn (son of god). These deities held significant importance in the ancient world and were worshipped by many.

Mentioned in Scripture

Although Semiramis is never mentioned in the Bible, her deified name, Ashtoreth, Asherah, and Queen of Heaven, are mentioned several times throughout scripture. Cush and Nimrod are not mentioned many times; however, just like Semiramis, their deified names, Baal and Bel, are mentioned a considerable amount. Tammuz, also known as Dumuzid, is mentioned in Ezekiel 8:14.

Satan’s Transition Throughout the Ages

Cush, Nimrod, Semiramis, and Tammuz, the Founders of Polytheism (FOP), were all under the influence of Satan and his idea that man could be like YAH. Remember, it was Satan who told Eve in Genesis 3:5 that she and Adam could be like the Most High. Satan also expressed that he wanted to exalt himself above YAH in Isaiah 14:12–16. The FOP’s game plan was near-sided as they did not see the long game that satan was playing. FOP exalted and deified themselves to be gods for the short term to exert and maintain power and control, to be worshiped, and to be remembered in history. Satan’s plan was and still is to deceive the entire world through every dispensation. Look at the charts below, and you will see how Satan has transitioned throughout time using FOP as well as changing his name throughout cultures.

It is important to note that false deities created by man and Satan often share similar storylines. This can make it difficult to distinguish between them and to know what is true. In reality, there is no truth in any of it. All worship of these deities and other idols is worship of Satan. For example, there are stories about Sammaramis, also known as Ishtar (pronounced “Easter”), who supposedly became pregnant from the sun god Baal’s sun rays and gave birth to Tammuz from an egg. Similarly, Mirtha was also said to have been born from an egg.

Additionally, both Tammuz and Mirtha are said to have been born on December 25, along with other pagan gods and goddesses like Nimrod (Tammuz’s father), Horus, Dionysus, Osiris, Attis, and the Roman Catholic Jesus (birth by the Roman Catholic Virgin Mary also known as the Queen of Heaven). These are all reimaginations of old pagan gods and goddesses. This is why YAH commanded the people of Yahsharel not to engage in idolatry and reminded them repeatedly that he never changes, unlike ever-changing false gods. This was true then and is still true today; we should not engage in idolatry, no matter how innocent it may seem or how long we may have kept an idolatrous tradition. We must worship in spirit and in truth only (John 4:24).

Satan’s Goal

Satan’s goal has always been to kill, steal, and destroy, and he will never change (John 10:10). Satan’s purpose with this deception and all of his deceptions is to get humanity to worship him by any means necessary, no matter the form. The polytheistic deception works well as it manipulates the human psyche by giving us the illusion of control through the liberty to worship whomever or whatever we choose. The idea of selecting a god that fits one’s needs is appealing to people as it also provides a sense of control over their religious practices.

Polytheism says there are multiple gods; select one that aligns with your personal beliefs or choose whichever god serves your specific needs. Unfortunately, people treat YAH the same way as if there is an El of the Old Testament and an El of the New Testament, and they need to pick one. One half chooses to follow the New Testament only and dismiss the Torah and Old Testament, calling it bondage when the truth is the New Testament quotes the Old Testament repeatedly. The other half only follows the Old Testament and misses out on Salvation through Yahshua. The polytheistic deception encourages people to choose a god based on their desires rather than seeking a deeper understanding of the Truth, and that truth is יהוה.

The Truth about Created Things

The actual truth is that there is only one EL, and His name is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (יהוה) (see scriptures at the bottom). Serving, worshiping, and obeying anything other than YAH is giving glory to Satan.

• Doctrine Example
  • The Romans created the polytheistic doctrine of the Trinity. Yes, it is polytheism, and Yes, it’s a created doctrine, as the Bible never mentions the Trinity. The doctrine is a fundamental belief of most Christians. Yet, many struggle to provide a clear and concise explanation if asked. The reason is because it is complex, confusing, and not biblical. Please remember that Rome was saturated with paganism, and through syncretism, new beliefs were created and added to Christianity. The truth is YAH יהוה is EL, and His only begotten son is Yahshua; they are not one physically; they are echad like a husband and wife are echad, not as one being, but one in agreement, action, and thought. Yahshua points out the separation between Him and His Father when He proclaims in Mark 10:18, “No one is good except One, YAH יהוה.” Yahshua also clarified this in Luke 22:42 when He talked to His Father (not Himself) and said, “not My will, but thine, be done.” Indicating that He has His own will and the Father has His own will. People, we do not serve an El with dissociative identity disorder with three different personalities or entities in one (god the Father, god the Son, and god the Holy Spirit as a godhead). Consider Revelation 3:1 and Revelation 4:5, which both say YAH has seven spirits. Also, consider Isaiah 11:2, which names those seven spirits. Does this mean that the godhead is enneadnity (a word I made up like they made trinity), nine in one (Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Spirit of wisdom, Spirit of understanding, Spirit of counsel, Spirit of power, Spirit of knowledge, and Spirit of the fear of the Lord)? Of course not. These are separate individual spirits. For example, you can read about the separate spirit of wisdom in Proverbs 8:22-31. It gives us the history of the spirit of wisdom before and during creation.
• Idol Example
  • “All three major religions worship paganism in some form through stone and wood. Christians have the wooden cross, Muslims have the (Kaaba or black stone) in Mecca, and Judaism bows daily to the stone wall (Wailing Wall) in Jerusalem, which is the remains of the Roman Fort Antonia.” (Don Esposito Study Note HRB – Deut 4:28) It is not enough to say, be careful not to idolize “the cross” when the simple truth is that it has no place at all in our worship of YAH יהוה. We were never told to make a cross, bow down to it, make jewelry, or sing songs about it. This is a very dangerous thing that Christianity has created.

Some of the Other Religions in the World.

• Hinduism – There are differing beliefs on the number of gods, with estimates ranging from six to thirty-three million and each god being unique. Some believe it’s 33 types of gods.
• Buddhists worship and show reverence to Buddha by offering fresh flowers, lights, and lamps or burning fragrant incense at shrines with images of the Buddha. Some followers maintain personal shrines at home for private worship, aspiring to emulate Buddha. Although they claim Buddha is not a god but an enlightened being who has achieved freedom from the cycle of life and death, they create Buddha idols and worship them. Therefore, Buddha is their god, as their devotion is directed towards him.
• New Age – Bows down to self, believing there is no one true way to pursue spirituality. These individuals choose to explore their spirituality without adhering to any specific set of beliefs or traditions. These people often follow their own intuition and inner guidance, seeking personal growth and self-discovery. On the other hand, there are those who hold a deep conviction that they are divine beings with complete control over their lives and destinies. They see themselves as sovereign entities, possessing an inherent power and wisdom transcending human limitations. (Proverbs 14:12)

Conclusion

Satan has created multiple roads that lead directly to him, but most of humanity is deceived, blinded, and unaware of it. Satan and his tares have changed the truth of Elohim into a lie. The great news is that you don’t have to be. Our Father has provided us with His Torah and Holy Scriptures for direction, His only begotten son for salvation, and His Ruach to guide us in our faith. We don’t have to be fooled by the devil and subjected to this world. However, if you spend all your time being entertained by this world and the things of it versus in the Word of YAH and things of YAH, you will be deceived and probably already are. I employ you to come out of (her, them, or the world) and be ye separate. (2 Corinthians 6:17, Romans 12:2, Revelation 18:4).
