YAHSHUA The name above every name

Steve Marlowe, Evangelist

The apostle Peter testified: “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).  What name did Peter actually say?

Question: What is the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved?

Question: Did you know that the letter “J” has only officially existed in English since the 17th century?  (Webster’s Dictionary, 5 ed., the tenth letter of the English alphabet, formerly a variant of the letter “I” was established in the 17th century, p. 775) Iesus (pronounced: “ee-sus”), but with the Letter J, added, it is now pronounced “gee-sus”.

Question: Did you know that in the 1611 English Version of the Bible, the name of the Savior was given as “Iesus”, and not Jesus?  The name Jesus existed historically only from the 17th century!

Question: Did you know that the name “Iesus,” is by the pronunciation of “ee-sus,” and comes from the name Iesous (pronounced “ee-ay-sous”), which is a transliteration of the name “Yeshua”?  Yeshua was a common Aramaic name at the time of the Savior in Judea, Samaria, and Galilee.

Question: Did you know that the apostle Paul heard the name of the Savior on the road to Damascus in Hebrew? (See Acts 26)

Question: Did you know what the apostle Paul said about the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved in that the name had the name (YAH) which is above every name? What is the name which is above every name? (See Philippians 2:9)

Question: Did you know that Moses asked for God’s name? In Exodus 3:13-15, God answered, “HAYAH ASHAR HAYAH,” which means “I AM Who I AM,” The name of God is the I AM, which is YAH, as in Halleluyah! Which means: “Praise YAH!” Behold the name which is above every name: “YAH!”  Halleluyah! The Savior’s one and only name is YAHSHUA!
Question: Did you know that the Savior identified Himself as the I AM? YAHSHUA said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58).

Question: Did you know that the Heavenly Father commanded, via an angel, Joseph to name the Savior YAHSHUA because YAH will save His people?  YAH is “I AM”, as SHUA means: “My help”, as in my salvation (see Matthew 1:21).  

”Behold the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved: “YAHSHUA!”

Question:  Which is the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved?  Choose one: Jesus, Iesus, Iesous, Yeshua, Isa, or the Spanish pronunciation of “Hey-zeus”, or YAHSHUA?  Does language determine the name of the Savior or does the revelation of God?

Question:  Since it is proven that the Savior’s name is YAHSHUA, what about all the people that never heard of that name?  Are they going to hell?  We are not to judge, but only to warn people.  The Lord said this on the Cross, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do” (Luke 23:34).  The Lord has said, “I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy.” It is likely if they never heard the name YAHSHUA, and they did not reject the name YAHSHUA, then the Savior will have mercy on them. 

Question:  What if I prefer to say the name of Jesus, and not YAHSHUA?  The gospel has this warning:   For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.  “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18).

Those who do not believe in the name of YAHSHUA, but hold to the name Jesus, which was never revealed by God, because they have seen answers to prayer and miracles in the name of Jesus.  Do not know of all the miracles in other religions done by their gods.  Nor that Moses, when he threw down his staff, which became a snake, the Magi of Egypt did the same.  The reasons to know the name YAHSHUA:

1. Eminent historian Ernest Renan admitted that never was the Savior known as Jesus in His lifetime (The Life of Jesus, p. 90).

2. The Savior’s true name must have the name which is above every name YAH, meaning “I AM.” The apostle Paul testified to this in his epistle, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name…” (Philippians 2:9).

3. The Savior Himself identified with this name YAH {I AM}, when He said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58).

4. Truly, the name YAH is the name which is above every name, which is why we say, “Halleluyah,” which means: “Praise YAH!”

5.  “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain” (Exodus 20:7).  It would be a vain thing to bring His name to obscurity, or change His name.

6. If you will not hear, And if you will not take it to heart, To give glory to My name,” Says the Lord of hosts, “I will send a curse upon you, And I will curse your blessings.  Yes, I have cursed them already, Because you do not take it to heart” (Malachi 2:2).

7. “Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He {YAH} also has become my salvation’” (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV).

Therefore, “Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name Yah, And rejoice before Him (Psalm 68:4 NKJV).  YAH, and there is no other name! “ Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name {YAH} which is above every name,  that at the name of YAHSHUA every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that YAHSHUA the Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11).  The fact is every tongue, every language, must know this one name {YAHSHUA} excludes the false names of Jesus, Iesus, Iesous, Yeshua, Isa, and the pronunciation of Hey-zeus, etc.. (YAH is found in Strong’s Dictionary of Bible Words # 3050).  YAHSHUA is not a philological impossibility, as it is known in early Hebrew as YAHOSHUA, however, it was shortened to YAHSHUA.

What about the name Jehovah?  

Note:  The Catholic Encyclopedia (1967), states, “The pronunciation of Jehovah was unknown in ancient Jewish circles, and is based upon a later misunderstanding of the scribal practice of using the vowels of the word Eloah with the consonants of YHWH” (p. 1065).  Hence YeHoWaH, and modern Hebrew renders it Ye-hovah, and the Hebrew word ‘hovah’ means ruin, mischief, and calamity (See Strong’s Dictionary of Bible words # 1943).

In YAHSHUA'S Name!
