Is This “Jesus” The True Messiah According To Scripture?
By Candice Lacy Sparks
Shabbot Shalom my family, friends, and acquaintances:
Many upon many in the world, especially most in Christianity know about or of Jesus; but has the question been asked by many regarding this name? In the last article; Yahawah/Yahuwah Not God, Is The Creator Of All Things, I’ve shown some information I’ve came across that spoke of the creator’s true Hebrew name, not God. God is a generic title used in reference to all who are deemed great and above the ordinary. In fact, many scriptures in the Holy Bible spoke much about these other gods worshiped in some way/form by much of the world. The following scriptures reveal these gods:
Adrammelech Sepharvites 2 Kin 17:31 (1) Sun-god
Amon Thebes In Egypt Jer 46:25 (1) Sun-god

The Most High as the creator of all things has only one name He commanded all mankind to call upon; Exodus 20:7 & Deuteronomy 5:11. The 3rd Commandment of The Most High says not to take His name in vain by calling on Him by any other name but by one; (YHWH) Yahawah/Yahuwah. So this very important question is; Is this Jesus the true Messiah according to scripture? Even further; is he the son of The Most High YHWH and came in His name? “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). “I am come in my Father’s name YHWH, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive” (John5:43). Note: There are many more scriptures regarding the Messiah being the Son of The Most High YHWH; I’ll speak on these in another article. But the most important part is Him coming in the flesh in His Father’s name YHWH. Another question; is the name “Jesus” even matches Abba Yahawah’s name he came in? The name “Jesus” is a Greek name, not a Hebrew name. If the Messiah was a Hebrew Israelite out of the tribe of Yahudah (Judah) (Hebrews 7:14) in ancient times; then why would The Most High YHWH name His only begotten Son a name of a completely different nationality/language/culture? For another thing, The Most High YHWH is known as the God of the House of Jacob/The Nation of Israel according to scripture (1 Kings 8:23). During the ancient times, even in Caesar Augustus’s rein it was highly customary for many Hebrew Israelites to name their children names of their Hebraic nationality/language/culture with their God name as part of them. A name given to a child was of great importance because it characterizes that child’s personality, background, and circumstances surrounding that child’s birth/upbringing. Sometimes, names of certain people were changed (Abram-Abraham:high father–father of many Genesis 17:5, Sarai-Sarah: my princess–mother of nations Genesis 17:15, Jacob–Israel: supplanter–he who has the power of The Most High YHWH Genesis 32:28, and several others) according to scripture: These are just a few examples that goes to show one how extremely important names of people really are. Believe it or not, other nations/cultures tend to name their children in honor of their nationality/language/culture and even theirs gods/deities. The Hebrew Israelites were no different in naming their children in honor to their God YHWH in that sense. The answer to the question of this “Jesus” as the true Messiah is a resounding NO! I say it again, “Jesus” is a Greek name, not a Hebrew name. So YHWH the Father could not be in the name “Jesus” because each name is spelled and defined in it’s own language/culture. The letter “J” did not exist at all in Hebrew nor even Greek prior to A.D. 1600. It still does not exist in Hebrew, but it was inserted in the Greek alphabet during A.D. 1600. The Most High YHWH; God of Israel already had a name for His only begotten Son; so His Son had to carry His father’s name to come in the flesh to save/redeem mankind from the curse of sin. So if this Messiah came in His Father Yahawah’s name, then what is His name? Well, Abba (Father) Yahawah’s name had to been inserted into His Son’s name with the addendum of savior/redeemer of mankind from the curse of sin into it. So what would it be according to the Hebrew nationality/language/culture? YAHAWAH-shi/YAHU-sha. Yah is the abbreviated name form of Yahawah/Yahuwah (YHWH). If the Messiah came in His Father Yahawah’s name, then His name had to have Yahawah with the savior/redeemer addendum in it. The name “Jesus” is not translated from Hebrew nor does it contain Yahawah and the savior/redeemer addendum it it. Plus it is Greek, a completely different language/culture with a completely different meaning to it. The Greeks/Romans and many other cultures had their gods/deities they honored/worshiped; none of their gods included YHWH in them. Note: I’m not condemning anyone with these non-Hebrew names. My name is not Hebrew, it is of my ancestors’ European/Grecian/Roman slave masters who name their slaves after their languages/cultures/nationalities. Customarily, slave masters named their slaves as a form of branding/marking to prove ownership of slaves as their properties; similar to how they name/number merchandise or domesticated animals/pets. After all, the Messiah YAHAWAH-shi came in His Father YAHAWAH’s name in the flesh to save mankind from the curse (wages of sin is death/eternal damnation Romans 6:23) of sin. Regardless of language/culture/nationality; Yahawashi Ha Mashiyach (the Messiah) in His Father Yahawah’s name is fully capable to save whoever calls upon His true Hebrew name and fully trust/believe in Him alone, nothing else. In order to really know/trust in someone, one must know the name of that one as the primary factor. Anyone with at least a little less than marginal intelligence just knows without a doubt that if one want to be acknowledged, one must call the correct name of a specific person of interest. If one does not call upon the other person of interest correct name either no response or miscommunication results. Further; it’s common knowledge among the masses that if one call another by the wrong/incorrect name, it is basically calling another out of their name or upon them in vain. If we naturally/normally know this to be true with each other; then why many of us think that The Most High YHWH, creator of all things shouldn’t be upset about us dishonoring Him by calling Him by any name other than what He commanded all of us of to do. Also, He has passed down His honor to His Son Yahawashi Ha Mashiyach because of His good works of obedience To Him as Father/Abba to His death on the cross. Yahawashi victoriously defeated the curse of sin/death on the cross, was buried for 3 days, then rose from the grave. Yahawashi Ha Mashiyach is risen indeed. So, if anyone want salvation from the curse of sin/death into eternal life in heaven, one must call upon the right/correct name of the Messiah in order for good response to one’s request to result. We all have names for others to call upon, so The Most YHWH and His only begotten Son are no different because they also have their own names to be acknowledge/call upon. I highly encourage all of the readers to do your own research and don’t just take what I’m saying in this article at face value. I’m still in my personal growth/awakening process by the Rauch Kodesh (Holy Spirit) from The Most High Himself in His own timing. All this information may sound overwhelmingly too complex for our little finite minds. Just relax and allow Yahawah’s spirit to reveal any truth in His righteous timing/dispensations. The next article will go into the possible meanings of the Greek name Jesus and the false images/representations of the Messiah.
