"YAHVAH Or YAHWEH?"
The name “British” means Covenant for man. In more recent times, the name "Britain" (British) was changed to "UK or United Kingdom" covering-up the historical name and roots of Britain. Britain and our ally United States of America now seems to be broken-off from the Good Olive Tree (Romans 11). After 2,520 years our Birthright returned. “Beginning A.D. 1800-1803 after 2520 years, YaH (god) did cause the birthright nations to become the recipients of such national greatness and power.
Britain became Great Britain – a gigantic wealthy commonwealth of nations and the U.S. the greatest nation of history.
More amazing still are the shocking facts of the present-of how-and why- we are losing it faster than it came!” Ezekiel 20, JeremiYah 7, Exodus 31:17.

Why should believers depart from the use of corrupt pagan words and titles for we have used them since at least 496 A.D. SO WHY CHANGE NOW?
True believers have made the change of 50 pagan words for YaHVaH’s separated Names and titles and words. IS IT TOO MUCH TO LEAVE FIFTY WORDS for the REAL THING? His Words from the Hebrew and Greek texts.
The world realizing the original source of cultural words such as “Brit-ish” “Indian” and more words have switched to other terms and words. But, when it comes to spiritual matters, they have no desire to correct themselves.
To repeat, if names, titles and words no long mean what they used to, then why do they change? And why keep the “religious words” they still love?
Another example, the “J” in Iesus as “Jesus” has been used since a thousand years ago, why change now! The answer is: the Hebrew text can be trusted; and to a lesser extent Greek underlying texts contain names and words to consider. Should we use words pertaining to the Almighty Creator if they are blasphemous and disrespectful? Certainly not! Let us return a pure language to YaHVaH and leave our traditions behind if they are wrong.
We now remind the student of the corruption of Colossians 2 where many words were added. We are not to add to the word of YaHVaH.
YaHVaH’s perfect Torah, His standards found mainly in Exodus (Shemoth) through Deuteronomy (Debarim) are abandoned for the tradition of the Elders, Jewish, Catholic and Protestant. A lukewarm believer hears whatever he or she wants and ignores the clear commandments, statutes and judgments of her Covenant. She is like a motorboat without a rudder.
The main proof for YaHVaH with a "V" is the Hebrew text: Letter "VAV" not "WAW".
It makes all the difference in the world, which name we call on, to be saved (Acts 2:38). Otherwise, someone might change any letters they wish. But lift-up His true Name as we love YaHVaH. YaHVaH (YHVH "yod hey vav hey" or in Hebrew from right to left) in black and white letters. A MINOR separate issue is the pronunciation of YaHVaH.
PROOF THAT YAHVAH IS CORRECT, THE "V" NOT THE "W" CAME FIRST:
Here are just some of nearly thirty witnesses. These sources prove V came before W.
You might take many hours looking these up. So, if you're interested, see the referenced pages in a good library. The final proof is in the original documents. Hebrew letters read from right to left. Here are a few excerpts and links:
1. Hebrew-English, English-Hebrew Dictionary, by A.S. Waldstein, Copy 1967 by P. Shalom Publishers Inc. page "A": Alphabet. "Vau=V"...Notice, NO "W" nor a double V.
2. The Standard Jewish Encyclopedia, Doubleday 1962; See “Tetragrammaton”:
"(Gk. “Four-lettered”) term generally used to designate the...Name (YHVH), traditionally not pronounced by Jews and formerly misread ‘Jehovah’ by Christians. See also ‘God, Names of’:” “YHVH”, (The Tetragrammaton or Shem ha-Mephorash) was the particular Name of the God of Israel and occurs nearly 7,000 times in the Bible…Yahweh has been conjectured…Other biblical terms include Elyon (“The Most High”), which was the Canaanite appellation for their Supreme deity.”

5. The Hebrew Study Manual Samuel Bagster; "The Alphabet" Page 3:
“Vav equals V.” There is no “W “or double “U”.
6. The New Jewish Encyclopedia, Behrman House, N.Y.,N.Y. 1962: “Tetragrammaton”.
"Jewish mystics were thought to have known how to pronounce the Tetragrammaton and how to make mysterious use of it. Christians erroneously pronounce the word, ‘Jehovah’, and MODERN (emphasis, ours) scholarship suggests that its original pronunciation was ‘Yahveh’.” Note, there isn’t any "W"!
7. The 26 Letters, Oscar Ogg; pg 74 &106, "The three missing letters, J, U and W, were not used by the Romans at all. U and W developed FROM "V" about a thousand years ago, and J developed from the letter "I" about five hundred years ago.” (Thus, the W came in about 971 A.D.) Page 74 shows a chart of Hieratic, Phoenician letters, with no W, just a “V”, 1150 B.C.. Page 105 shows a Greek-Latin chart: No “W”, just a “V” at bottom right.
Page 109 is another chart; It includes the “V”!
8.The Lost Languages, P.E. Cleaton; Page 21:
"The expansion of V into U and W (double U) and the differentiation of I and J were later developments which took place in the Tenth and Fourteenth centuries, respectively."

“Dear Mr. Snow: With ref. To your inquiry...do not have material explaining the way Sephardic Jews transliterate or pronounce the Hebrew alphabet. According to our knowledge the ‘Vav” is pronounced as a ‘V’ by Sephardic Jews. Sincerely Yours, Bloch Publishing Co.”
18. WWW.AlphabetAndLetter.Com/Hebrew.html Search for J, V and W in the URL
WWW.AlphabetAndLetter.Com/V.html or /J.html or /W.html. "W is a latecomer to the alphabet, first descended from the Semitic letter vau, which was also the origin of the letters F, U, V and Y." The website in 2012-2013 was inactive.
PROOF OF THE “W YHWH” is from the theory mainly that Hebrew is only vowel sounds. Another source is “The Holy Bible”, Saint Joseph textbook confraternity version, Copyright 1963. On the very inside-cover, half-way down in big letters “YAHWEH” with the all-seeing eye: This Kabballistic symbol should cause a Believer to turn-away from it.
Question the notion of “all vowels and no consonants in Hebrew". The booklet
“Á STUDY OF THE SEPARATED (holy) NAME” by Bill Burton examined. A large part of it is great. But there are few proofs and references in that booklet for the "double-U". Only these six references for "W" in the separated Name:
1. The Encyclopedia Judaic Vol 7, pp679;
2. The New Jewish encyclopedia 1975 Ed pp. 766 under the title 'G_d'
3. Columbia Encyclopedia Vol. 2 under the subject 'G_d’.
4. The Grote Winkler Prins Encyclopedia under the title 'JAHWE'. " Other evidence is given.
5. "The Interpreters Bible Dictionary" Vol 4, page 923.
6. Ripley’s “Believe it or Not” in “Separated Name” page 35.
Evidence for the “W” is also from the following:
7. “Where did the Name of Jehovah come from?” from the NW Synod of Wisconsin Resource Center.
Therefore, we have more evidence that the Name "YaHVaH", NOT YahWeh, is correct. The letter “V” came first. The "W" came into existence about 1000 years ago.

Shalom! Due to problems with the server, we may soon change to the following Sermon Audio website. Please copy this, or click and bookmark the new website.
THE LETTER J
Shalom! Exodus 6:3 is one of the four citations in the KJV where in English it prints JEHOVAH. However, the correct Hebrew word is Yod Hey Vav Hey no “J” (Jay). Thus we may pronounce His Name, YaH or YaH’Vah.
For the Hebrew of "Y" we have always used "Ee-Yah". We are not advanced Hebrew scholars. If someone wishes to pronounce with a Jay as in JehovaH let YaHVaH judge it. But SPELLING must not be with a Jay because it is not in the underlying Hebrew text. The first error might begin with using a different pronunciation. The SPELLING is where they make the error- Which leads to the second error of SPELLING His Name wrong, with a Jay.
Jesus with a J was never in the underlying text. In the Gospels see John 7 they used "IESEUS" but no connection to Greek "Soter".
Must we learn Modern Hebrew or even Paleo Hebrew and discard English in Church?
As we point out on YHVH page bottom, there are about fifty pagan English words to avoid.
When we write the Father's Name, it cannot be from the corrupt false words and titles. The key is in the TEXT: 7000 times, the Name Y H V H written letters Yod Hey Vav Hey. Not an alternative such as Adonai nor Lord, titles not even connected to YHVH.
How About the idea of 613 Commandments? Consider many words are repeated. Many are the commands in Mishle/Proverbs.
"613 Commandments": From Nehemia Gordon’s Torah Pearls:
Nehemia Gordon: "We don’t need to count 613 commandments; we need to make this our way of life. If it’s your way of life, it’s not about counting them and adding up all your points and all your negative demerits. It’s about having a relationship with the Creator of the universe and maintaining that relationship."
