Who is Yahweh? 
YAH/Yahweh is the name, in Hebrew, that many Bibles show as "the LORD" or "God".

-YHWH
Yahweh is the Creator of Heaven & Earth. 

Why do we say "Yahweh", instead of "God" or "Lord"? 

The word "GOD" or "LORD" are pagan names that were placed in the King James Version of the Bible to replace the true name of our father, "Yahweh".

Some say that the reason why the King James Bible does not use "Yahweh" is because His name was so sacred that the pronouncing of the Name was prohibited, and therefore considered unutterable.  Evidence of this is in the "Dead Sea Scrolls".

The same goes for His son Yahshua (yah-HOO-shua), not Jesus, which also contains our Father's name :   

Yah-weh = Yah-shua

​

Although there is no letter "J" or "V" in ancient Hebrew, the Tetragrammaton YHWH was altered to JHVH.

​

The sacred name occurs in Genesis about 156 times; this frequent occurrence can hardly be a mere prolepsis.

Genesis 26, states that Enos "began to call upon the name of the Lord [Yahweh]", or as the Hebrew text suggests, "began to call himself after the name of Yahweh".

​

Jochabed, the mother of Moses, has in her name an abbreviated form Jo (Yo) of Yahweh. The pre-Mosaic existence of the Divine name among the Hebrews accounts for this fact more easily than the supposition that the Divine element was introduced after the revelation of the name.

​

Among the 163 proper names which bear an element of the sacred name in their composition, 48 have 'Yeho' or 'Yo' at the beginning, and 115 have 'Yahu' or 'Yah' at the end.

 

While the form 'Yahweh' never occurs in any such composition, perhaps it might be assumed that these shortened forms, 'Yeho', 'Yo', 'Yahu', 'Yah', represent the Divine name as it existed among the Isralites before the full name 'Yahweh' was revealed on Mt. Horeb.

 

At any rate, while it is not certain that Father Yahweh revealed His sacred name to Moses for the first time, He surely revealed on Mt. Horeb that Yahveh is His incommunicable name, and explained its meaning.

***** Note that Joshua = Yoshua or Yahshua because there is no "J" sound in Hebrew.

 

The letter "J" is only about 500 years old and is not even found in the original 1611 King James version. 

The four letters YHWH (pronounced Yahweh) were inspired by Father Yahweh's Holy Spirit to appear in the Old Testament over 6,800 times.

 

Then why can it not be found in our common English versions except where it appears in an abbreviated form at the end of the word Hallelu-YAH? 

Hebrew names can be translated.

They make a statement, such as, Yahshua = "Yahweh is salvation".

 

The word "Jesus" does not deliver the message that Yahweh is salvation [and, of course, "Jesus" was never actually his name].
