Isaiah 42.8
I am YAHWEH.
That is My Name.
And My honor
I will not give to another,
nor My praise
to graven images.
(Aleph-Tav Version)
The personal Name of God, YAHWEH, is worthy of
our praise. Scripture contains many references to this concept. It’s only
fitting that the One we trust in as God above all should be praised and honored
and worshipped.
But even more importantly, it’s most appropriate to give Him the honor that’s due to Him alone by using His specific and personal Name.
This is confirmed by The Scriptures themselves. Below are some of the many Scripture verses that direct His people to praise and bless His sacred and precious Name. They reveal, when properly translated, that His Name is YAHWEH. This is the Name we are to use when honoring and worshipping Him.
For more detail on the issues involved with
using the Name of God
and the Name of The Messiah please see the following

Bible Errors
The Messiah's Name
Within them are additional links to help reveal what’s happened and what we need to do to correct the problems.
They will provide the background you need to understand why many who call themselves Christians
currently do not even know His personal and eternal Name.
God’s personal Name occurs for the first time in
Genesis 2.4.
While it's not given as such in most translations of The
Scriptures,
it is found in the Hebrew text at this point.
It occurs in the
Hebrew text 6828 times in The Old Covenant.
Such frequent occurrence suggests
it’s not something God wants us to be ignorant about.
In Exodus 3.15 He specifically identifies this Name as His eternal Name,
and as His “memorial” to all generations (past,
present, and future).
A memorial is given as a means of remembering.
His people
are called to remember His Name,
and to give praise, honor, blessing, and thanksgiving to it – for all eternity.
Here’s what Exodus 3.15
actually should say in your Bible:
Exodus
3.15 And The
Elohim said more to Moshe.
“Thus you are to say to the
children of Yisra’el.
‘YAHWEH, The Elohim of your fathers,
The Elohim of Abraham,
The Elohim of Yitzhak,
and The Elohim of Ya'akov,
has sent me to you.
This is My NAME forever!
And this is My mark of identification
from generation to generation.’
YAHWEH (Hebrew – hDwøh◊y - YHWH)
The Word of YAHWEH Concerning His Name
Listed below are some of the Scripture verses
that speak to how we are to treat the personal Name of God, YAHWEH. These
verses have been corrected to give the proper reading, based on the Hebrew
text.
When you see His Name placed where it properly belongs
it gives you a
whole different appreciation of both His Name, and His Word.
His Word is
without error - in the original.
Unfortunately, mankind has adulterated His Word,
causing great confusion, and making it difficult to worship Him properly.
May these verses serve to motivate you to begin
today to use His personal Name as it should be used
– to honor and worship Him
as The Eternally Existing One;
for that is indeed what His Name actually means. (These are corrected verses.)

The Messiah Speaks - Concerning His Name and God’s Name
There are some who claim YAHUSHUA (Jesus)
never
spoke God’s personal Name and never taught anything about it.
The Scriptures
below will demonstrate this is simply not true.
Indeed, there is evidence to
support the idea
that it was specifically because He did speak the Name, YAHWEH
and teach and heal using it), that He was put to death.
John 12:28 Father,
honor Your Name.
Then came there a
voice from The Heaven,
“I have indeed honored it, and will honor it again.”
Matt. 6:9 Pray in this manner therefore:
Our Father
who is in The Heavens,
let Your Name be sanctified!
John 17:6 I
have made Your Name apparent to the human beings
whom
You have given to Me from the world.
They
were Yours.
You
gave them to Me.
And
they have protected Your word.
John 17:12 While
I was with them in the world
I
protected them by Your Name.
Those
whom You gave to Me I have protected.
And
none of them is lost except The Son of Loss
in
order that The Scripture might be fulfilled.
John 17:26 And
I have made known to them Your Name.
And
I will make it known in order that the love
with
which You have loved Me may be in them
and
I may be in them.”
Matt. 10:22 And you shall be detested by everyone because of My Name...
Matt. 19:29 And every one
that has forsaken houses,
or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife,
or children, or lands
for the sake of My Name will receive a hundredfold. And he will inherit Eternal Life.
John 15:21 But all these
things will they do to you for My Name’s sake,
because they know not Him that sent Me.
Matt. 18:5 If anyone receives one little child such as this in My Name
he receives Me.
Matt. 18:20 Indeed where two or three are gathered
together
for
the sake of My Name I am there,
in
the midst of them.”
Mark 9:41 Indeed whoever gives you
a cup of water to drink in My Name,
because you are The Messiah’s,
assuredly I say to you
he will by no means lose his compensation!
John 14:13 And
whatever someone might ask in My Name
that
I will do in order that The Father
may
be honored in the Son!
To Those Who Treat His Name Shamefully
There are consequences for failing to honor
the Name of YAHWEH and the Name of The Messiah (YAHUSHUA).
Many today seem to have no fear of
them.
They do not even know His Name,
so cannot really honor it or perform any
of those things
He calls us to do in His Name.
This really needs to be changed.
YAHWEH has done much to reveal His Name to His
people.
He has called for His Name to be proclaimed,
taught, honored, praised, blessed,
and revered
above every other name that exists.
Do we not owe Him such?
Is it
not proper for us to know His Name
and to use it with great reverence every
day?
Failure to do so will indeed bring its consequences.
Is. 52:5-6 And now what have I here,”
- an utterance of YAHWEH -
“because My people have been taken away for nothing?
Those who rule over them cause them to wail”
- an utterance of YAHWEH -
“and continually all the day My Name is reviled.
6 For this reason My people will know My Name,
for this reason they will know it in
that day,
because I Myself am He,
The One who is speaking.
Behold, hereI am!”
Mal. 1:11-14 Indeed from the rising of the sun
even to its going down
My Name is great among the nations,
and in every place incense is brought near
for the sake of My Name,
or an undefiled voluntary offering!
Indeed My Name is great among the nations!”,
said YAHWEH of Assemblies.
1:12 “But you yourselves את
are profaning Me Myself את,
by your saying,
‘The table of YAHWEH, it is defiled,
even its produce!
Its food is despicable!’
1:13 And you have said,
‘Behold! What weariness!’
And you turned up your nose at it itself את!”,
said YAHWEH of Assemblies.
“And you have brought in what was taken by force,
and the lame itself את,
and the sick itself את
you have even brought
as the voluntary offering itself את!
Should I accept this itself את from your hands?”
said YAHWEH.
1:14 And cursed be the one deceiving,
and he has a male in his flock,
and he vows a vow,
but he is slaughtering for the sake of YAHWEH
what is defiled.
Indeed, I Myself am a great King,”
said YAHWEH of Assemblies,
“and My Name is revered among the nations!
Ezek. 20:9 And I acted for the sake of My Name,
for the sake of it not being defiled,
for the sake of the eyes of the nations which they
were in the midst of them,
to whom I had made Myself known to them for the sake
of their eyes,
for the sake of bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
Ezek. 36:21-23 But I had
compassion on My set apart Name
which the house of Yisra'el defiled among the nations,
wherever they had gone there.
36:22 For this reason say to the house of Yisra’el,
Thus said Sovereign YAHWEH.
“Not for your sake will I Myself act, house of Yisra’el,
but rather on account of My set apart Name
which you have defiled
among the nations where you
have gone there.
36:23 But I will set apart My great Name itself את
that is being been defiled among the nations,
which you have defiled in their midst!
And the nations will know that I am YAHWEH”
- An Utterance of Sovereign YAHWEH. -
“when I am set apart among you
for the sake of their their eyes!
Mal. 2:1-8 And now to you, the priests,
this is given as direction!
2:2 If you do not listen attentively,
and if you do not place this upon the heart
to give honor to My Name,” said YAHWEH of Assemblies,
“then I will send against you the curse itself את!
And I will curse your blessings themselves את!
And also, I have cursed them
because you have not placed it upon the heart!
2:3 Behold!
I will rebuke for your sake the seed itself את!
And I will smear excrement upon your faces,
the excrement of your festivals!
And it will be carried away,
and you yourselves את with it!
2:4 And you will know that I have sent to you
this directive itself את
to exist as My covenant with Levi himself את”,
said YAHWEH of Assemblies.
2:5 My covenant with he himself את
was life and shalom!
And I gave to him awe and reverence!
And he revered Me!
And before My Name he was terrified!
2.6 The teaching of Truth was in his mouth!
And moral wrong was not found on his lips!
With shalom and with fairness
he walked with Me Myself את!
And he turned back many from moral perversity.
2:7 Indeed the lips of a priest are to protect knowledge.
And they are to seek instruction from his mouth.
Indeed he is a messenger of YAHWEH of Assemblies!
2:8 But you yourselves את,
you have turned aside from The Way!
You have caused many to stumble in instruction!
You have perverted the covenant of Levi!”,
said YAHWEH of Assemblies.
Psa. 83:16 Fill their
faces with reproach
that they may search out Your Name, YAHWEH.
Some Blessings To Those Who Honor His Name
Jer. 12:16-17 And it will be if they teach,
teach the ways themselves את of My
people,
to swear by My Name, ‘By the life of YAHWEH…!’
according to what they taught My people themselves את
to swear by Ba’al,
then they will build in the midst of My people.
17 But if they do not listen attentively
I will pull up by its roots that nation itself את,
pull it up by its roots, even destroying it!”
- An utterance of YAHWEH -
Psa. 9:9-10 And YAHWEH will exist as a refuge
for the sake of the crushed,
a refuge for the sake of times of need.
9:10 And those knowing Your Name
will trust in You
because You have not abandoned
those seeking You, YAHWEH!
Psa. 54:1 Elohim, in
Your Name deliver me!
And with
Your power grant me justice!
Psa. 74:21 Do not let
the oppressed be turned back,
being disgraced!
Let the
afflicted and the destitute praise Your Name!
Psa. 5:11-12 But let all who are taking refuge in You rejoice.
To eternity let them shout for joy!
And be a defense over them!
And let those who are loving Your Name
jump for joy with You.
5:12 (H 5.13) Indeed You Yourself את
bless the just one, YAHWEH.
Like a shield, with pleasure You surround him.
Rev. 2:13 I have seen your works and where you reside,
where
The Adversary’s throne is.
Yet
you hold fast to My Name
and
have not disavowed the trust of Me,
even
in the days in which Antipas was My faithful witness,
who
was killed among you where The Adversary resides.
Rev. 3:8 I
have seen your works!
Behold!
I have provided before you an open entrance.
And
not even one is able to close it
because
you have a little ability.
And
you have protected My word.
And
you have not denied My Name.
Ezek. 20:44 And you will know that I Myself am YAHWEH
when I act with you yourselves את for
the sake of My name,
not according to your hurtful ways,
nor according to your corrupt actions, house of Yisra'el!”
- An Utterance of Sovereign YAHWEH. -
Rev. 15:4 Who will not revere You, Master, and honor Your Name,
because
You alone are set apart
since
all nations will come and worship in Your presence,
since
Your justifications have been rendered apparent.”
