WHAT DID YAHSHUA CALL HIS FATHER?
By Rabbi/Brother Moshe Yoseph Koniuchowsky
Why are so many believers hypocrites?
Is it through ignorance of truth? Lack of available truth? Or is it outright
rebellion when confronted with truth. Today in the midst of the WWJD craze, it
is high time Messiah Yahshua's people take back the kingdom by their forceful
will. The first step is to walk in a path that leaves the WWJD mindset and
enters into the WWYD - WHAT WOULD/DID YAHSHUA ACTUALLY DO? If we are being
conformed to His image as scripture tells us, then what image of Yahshua is the
Ruach carving out for His own glory? If it can be proven from scriptural and
secular sources that Yahweh's Son used and still uses His Father's Name Yahweh
and if our call is to be conformed to His image which includes His speech, then
we must also call the Heavenly Father what His own Son called Him.
In John 17 we have recorded Messiah
Yahshua's high priestly prayer. We see Him interceding as the Cohen HaGadol on
behalf of His talmidim. As such what He prayed on earth and the manner in which
He prayed on earth, continues to this day and for all eternity in heaven. Today
in heaven as our High Priest, He prays as He did while in Jerusalem (Heb.13:8).
In Yochanan/John 17:4 Yahshua states that He is finishing the work the Father
gave Him. One of the MAIN WORKS given to Yahshua to perform was according to
John 17:6 THE MANIFESTATION OF THE FATHER'S TRUE NAME TO THE DISCIPLES [After
586 years of religious gymnastics]. Thus if the Father desired the 12 disciples
to know and use the true Name of Yahweh, then Messiah Himself also knew it and
ALWAYS used it. For to have taught His disciples to use it and not done so
Himself, would be hypocritical, which is a form of bearing false witness, a
violation of Torah. In Yochanan/John 17:11 Yahshua invokes the Father's Name
over the disciples for their protection and then reveals that the Name of Father
Yahweh not only protects His disciples but was given to Messiah Yahshua before
the foundation of the world. In the same way He and His Father both carry the
Name Yahweh, all His disciples are to be in that same full accord BY ALL CALLING
ON AND CARRYING ABOUT THAT SAME NAME FOR PROTECTION IN TIME OF TRIAL AND
TRIBULATION. Unity is found when all disciples, all in one accord, all call on
Yahweh through Yahshua. Not only did Yahshua use the true divine sacred Name, He
told His disciples that it's usage was the only key to believers unity and
preservation on the earth. Since most believers still do not use His Name, it is
safe to attribute most of the religious divisions in His body to not abiding in
the very truth designed for that selfsame unity. 30,000 denominations = 30,000
reasons for disobeying Yahshua about His Father's true Name.
Yochanan 17: 6 is a beautiful prophecy
for the end times. While on earth Yahshua taught and used the Name and taught it
to His disciples thus removing them from the MANMADE ban against it imposed by
the apostate seat of Moses. In verse 26 of John 17, we see Messiah Yahshua
prophesying that even after He ascends to His throne, (where He is using the
Name today for His ministry to the Father on our behalf) that He would once
again re-reveal the Name on earth. We see that in the latter days, His true Name
is being restored by the Ruach or the power of Yahweh, amongst His people. So
this prophecy is being fulfilled as both Xristians and apostate Jews, are taking
the false names off their tongue and finding the true Name as Yahshua said would
happen after His return to glory. So we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that
Messiah Yahshua and His true followers used the true Name. If one does not use
the true Name exclusively when hit with this manifestation, then they are said
to be a disingenuous follower since if they truly follow Messiah He will reveal
the Name of His Father to all His disciples. If someone does not know and use
the Name, they are either not a disciple or they are a deceived disciple. Or how
about a sinful disciple (Yakkov/James 2:7)? Hebrews 2:12, Psalms 22:22 reminds
us the when Messiah Yahshua was on earth He declared the NAME YAHWEH TO HIS TRUE
BRETHREN IN the midst of the assembly. A true disciple uses Yahweh's Name in the
assembly where it ought to be declared. Do they declare His name in your
assembly? Or do they tell you to shut up and stick to HaShem/Gawd.
Can Messiah Yahshua's usage of the
Divine Name be documented in history? OH YES IT CAN! The Master Yahshua did not,
would not, could not, use HaShem and Adonai as substitutes for His Father's Name
because that would have been bringing the Name to naught, a 3rd commandment
Torah violation that would have disqualified him from being the SPOTLESS
FAULTLESS LAMB. As the LAMB He never stopped using the Name Yahweh and now in
his high priestly role, He has not stopped using it.
The "Toldoth Yeshu", is a
rabbinic anti-gospel document dating back to 400 CE, with clear linguistic
connections to Matthew's ORIGINAL Hebrew gospel. This indicates that while full
of added lies and blasphemy THAT "TOLDOT YESHU" USED THE HEBREW
MATTHEW as its base text. The TOLDOT YESHU nevertheless is full of accusation
and mockery as we nevertheless find some startling confirmations of John 17.
ACCORDING TO "TOLDOT YESHU" OR THE TALES OF YESHU, Messiah's original
name was Yehoshua or Joshua. When He "became a heretic/lunatic", His
name was changed to Yeshu. Yeshu is made up of yemach shemoh vezichro- "May
His name and memory be erased." The first three letters form yud,shen,vav
or YSU. [Hebrew Gospel of Matthew p.207 quoting Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin
43B.]This is why TRUE BELIEVERS who do not want to identify with the mockers of
our Messiah, REFUSE AND SHOULD REFUSE THE BLASPHEMOUS TALMUDIC MONIKER OF YESHU
OR YESHUA. It is not the Aramaic contraction it is the devil's contraction and
the name of mockery TO THIS DAY by unbelieving Judah!
Let them write their magazine articles
as they sound sillier and sillier and fall on the ears of a band of decreasing
Hey Soos followers. But the facts remain the facts. When we pronounce Messiah's
Name as Yeshua, we identify (like it or not) with the lies of the "TOLDOT
YESHU." Lets stick to Yahshua or Yahoshua the Name that is uncorrupted in
the Hebrew.
The blasphemous yet historically
respected "TOLDOT YESHU", states in chapter Passim that "YESHU,
PERFORMED MIRACLES BY INVOKING THE FORBIDDEN DIVINE NAME." [IBID p. 208 the
Hebrew Gospel of Matthew Howard] That Divine Name forbidden by the apostate seat
of Moses was of course YHVH or Yahweh. So we have preserved for us a secular
document that hates Yahshua because He called on and did ALL HIS MIRACLES while
using only the Divine Name of His Father.
The last piece of evidence that Yahshua
used Yahweh EXCLUSIVELY in His earthly ministry, is the Hebrew Matthew Gospel
written by Matthew. Shem Tov, a Jewish polemist, published the Matthew in Hebrew
to show the unbelieving Jews how to answer Christian scholars. No Jew of the
middle ages, especially a scribe, would ever willfully insert the Tetragramaton
into a text simply because all pious traditional Jews would substitute or mask
the Name by abiding under the rabbinical ban of NEVER writing or pronouncing it.
The very fact that the first letter hey for HaShem appears, proves that Shem Tov
wrote HaShem wherever he found YHVH. The fact that he didn't use Adonai or
Kurios proves that HaShem was used everywhere the 19 times Yahweh's Name was
recorded by Matthew himself! HaShem was only a substitution for Yahweh NEVER for
Adonai or Kurios which would have been left intact!
The Messiah and the disciples used only
the true Name Yahweh when referring to Elohim. Terms such as Kurios, Adonai and
Theos do not appear in Matthew's Shem Tov, for if they did Shem Tov would gladly
have copied them intact. The vary fact that Shem Tov HAD TO SUBSTITUTE HASHEM
into an existing document, PROVES THAT WHAT WAS THERE ORIGINALLY WAS THE DIVINE
NAME WHICH SHEM TOV indicates by his INSERTED usage of the letter hey for HaShem
[p.232 Hebrew Gospel of Matthew Howard}.
So we have scripture and history, all
confirming that Messiah Yahshua teaches and taught His true followers the Name
of Yahweh, not the title God or Lord instead of Yahweh. Are you His disciple? If
you are you will flow against the stream of learned religious voices screaming
WWJD and instead will opt for the silent majority voices of WWYD, what
would/does Yahshua do? For if we truly follow Him in His earthly and High
Priestly role, we will have no qualms or second thoughts of starting on the
righteous path of calling on Yahweh for protection, revelation and miracles just
like YAHSHUA DID!
