NEW TESTAMENT

2 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ (Ha’Mashiach), if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit (Ruach), if any bowels (compassions) and mercies,

² Fulfil ye (you) my joy, that ye (you) be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

³ Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory (selfishness or empty conceit [through factional motives, or strife]); but in lowliness (humility, humbleness, meekness) of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

⁴ Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

⁵ Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus (Mashiach Yahusha):

⁶ Who, being in the form of God (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Aluahim; Yahuah), thought it not robbery to be equal with God (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Aluahim; Yahuah):

⁷ But made himself (Himself) of no reputation, and took upon him (Him) the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

⁸ And being found in fashion as a man, he (He) humbled himself (Himself), and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

⁹ Wherefore God (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Aluahim; Yahuah) also hath (has) highly exalted him (Him), and given him (Him) a name which is above every name:

¹⁰ That at the name of Jesus (Yahusha) every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

¹¹ And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Ha’Mashiach is Aḏon), to the glory of God (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Aluahim; Yahuah) the Father.

Shine Brightly for Christ (Ha’Mashiach)

¹² Wherefore, my beloved, as ye (you) have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

¹³ For it is God (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Aluahim; Yahuah) which worketh (who works) in you both to will and to do of his (His) good pleasure.

¹⁴ Do all things without murmurings and disputings (grumblings and quarrelings):

¹⁵ That ye (you) may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Aluahim; Yahuah), without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye (you) shine as lights in the world;

¹⁶ Holding forth the word of life (Talk at length on the gospel); that I may rejoice in the day of Christ (Ha’Mashiach), that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

¹⁷ Yea (Yes), and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.

¹⁸ For the same cause also do ye (you) joy, and rejoice with me.

Paul Commends Timotheus (Timothy)

¹⁹ But I trust in the Lord Jesus (Aḏon Yahusha) to send Timotheus (Timothy) shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.

²⁰ For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.

²¹ For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s (Yahusha Ha’Mashiach’s).

²² But ye (you) know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath (has) served with me in the gospel (Good News).

²³ Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

²⁴ But I trust in the Lord (Aḏon) that I also myself shall come shortly.

Paul Commends Epaphroditus

²⁵ Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier (fellow soldier), but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.

²⁶ For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye (you) had heard that he had been sick.

²⁷ For indeed he was sick nigh unto (near to) death: but God (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Aluahim; Yahuah) had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

²⁸ I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye (you) see him again, ye (you) may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

²⁹ Receive him therefore in the Lord (Aḏon) with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:

³⁰ Because for the work of Christ (Mashiach) he was nigh unto (near to) death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.

A Song of Praise to the LORD (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah)

26 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Aluahim; Yahuah) appoint for walls and bulwarks (ramparts, defensive walls).

² Open ye (you) the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth (keeps) the truth may enter in.

³ Thou wilt (You will) keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee (You): because he trusteth (trusts) in thee (You).

⁴ Trust ye (you) in the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) for ever: for in the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) Jehovah is everlasting strength:

⁵ For he bringeth (He brings) down them that dwell (live) on high; the lofty city, he layeth (lays) it low; he layeth (lays) it low, even to the ground; he bringeth (He brings) it even to the dust.

⁶ The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.

⁷ The way of the just is uprightness: thou (You), most upright, dost (does) weigh the path of the just.

⁸ Yea (Yes), in the way of thy (Your) judgments, O Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), have we waited for thee (You); the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee (You).

⁹ With my soul have I desired thee (You) in the night; yea (yes), with my spirit within me will I seek thee (You) early: for when thy (your) judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

¹⁰ Let favour be shewed (showed) to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

¹¹ Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), when thy (Your) hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea (yes), the fire of thine (Your) enemies shall devour them.

¹² Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), thou wilt (You will) ordain peace for us: for thou (You) also hast wrought (had done) all our works in us.

¹³ O Lord (Adonai) our God (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Aluahim; Yahuah), other lords beside thee (You) have had dominion over us: but by thee (You) only will we make mention of thy (Your) name.

¹⁴ They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou (You have) visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

¹⁵ Thou hast (You have) increased the nation, O Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), thou hast increased the nation: thou art (You are) glorified: thou hadst (You had) removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.

¹⁶ Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), in trouble have they visited thee (you), they poured out a prayer when thy (Your) chastening was upon them.

¹⁷ Like as a woman with child, that draweth (draws) near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth (cries) out in her pangs; so have we been in thy (Your) sight, O Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

¹⁸ We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought (accomplished) any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

¹⁹ Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

(AMP Bible: ¹⁹ Your dead will live; Their dead bodies will rise. You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy! For your dew is a dew of [celestial] light [heavenly, supernatural], And the earth will give birth to the spirits of the dead.)

Restoration for Israel

²⁰ Come, my people, enter thou (you) into thy chambers (your rooms), and shut thy (your) doors about thee (you): hide thyself (yourselves) as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast (until the [Lord’s] wrath is past).

²¹ For, behold, the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) cometh (comes) out of his (His) place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity (sin): the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Restoration for Israel (continuation)

27 In that day the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) with his (His) sore and great (extremely great) and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay (kill) the dragon that is in the sea.

(NOTE: leviathan = a sea monster, identified in different passages with the whale and the crocodile (e.g. Job 41, Ps. 74:14), and with the Devil (after Isa. 27:1))

² In that day sing ye (you) unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

³ I the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

⁴ Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

⁵ Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.

⁶ He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

⁷ Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

(AMP Bible: ⁷ Like the striking by Him who has struck them, has He struck them? Or like the slaughter of His slain, have they been slain?)

⁸ In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

(AMP Bible: ⁸ You contended with them by exile, by driving them away [from Canaan]; He has expelled them with His fierce wind on the day of the east wind.)

⁹ By this therefore shall the iniquity (sin) of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh (He makes) all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

(AMP Bible: ⁹ Therefore through this the wickedness [the sin, the injustice, the wrongdoing] of Jacob (Israel) will be atoned for and forgiven; And this will be the full price [that God requires] for taking away his sin: When Israel makes all the stones of the [pagan] altars like crushed chalk stones; When the Asherim and the incense altars will not stand.)

¹⁰ Yet the defenced (defensed) city shall be desolate (empty / destroyed), and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

¹¹ When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew (show) them no favour.

¹² And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye (you) shall be gathered one by one, O ye (you) children of Israel.

¹³ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

THE PROPER HEBREW NAME OF THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR

Isaiah 52:6 King James Version (KJV)
“Therefore MY PEOPLE SHALL KNOW MY NAME: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth (He who does) speak: behold, it is I.”

The word ‘God’ is a noun. It is not God’s actual name.

EXAMPLE: “He is my father. He drives me to school every morning. His name is Johnny Lim.”

EXPLAINED: The word ‘father’ here is a noun. It is not the actual / proper name. ‘Johnny Lim’ is the actual / proper name.

QUESTION: What is God’s actual / proper name?

ANSWER: God’s actual name is as follows:-

YHWH meaning in the Bible

(NOTE: YHWH (proper noun) = 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 the proper name of the God of Israel. יְהוָֹה (H3068)  in tetragrammaton: יְהוָֹה (H3068) יְ (yod) ה (he) וָֹ (uau / waw) ה (he)

In Hebrew text:-

THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE MESSIAH

In Hebrew: מָשִׁיחַ (H4899) = Mashiach (Hebrew) = Messiah (English) / Anointed One (the Savior who saves the sinners for those who believe in Him)

FULL NAME in Hebrew text with ‘The’: יְהוֹשׁעַ הַמָשִׁיחַ = Yahusha Ha-Mashiach = Yahusha The Anointed One.

Christos > Χριστός (Greek) transliterated into Christ (English) which means Anointed One 

NOTES:-

1. SPELLING VERSION #1:-

Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַ (H3442 = He will save) is a shortened form of Yehoshooah / Yahushua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = God / Yah saves). EXAMPLE #1: Mike is a shortened form of Michael. EXAMPLE #2: Josh is a shortened form of Joshua.

2. SPELLING VERSION #2:-

Yehoshooah as spelt in this manner depicts Joshua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = yeh-ho-SHOO-ah) adds Hosea, יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H1954 = deliver / salvation). Therefore, Yehoshooah / Yahushua means God is Salvation God  / Yah saves.

3. SPELLING VERSION #3:-

Yahushua as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה / יָהּ (H3050) as in John 5:43).

4. SPELLING VERSION #4:-

Yahusha (יְהוֹשׁעַ) as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father and according to the original ancient Hebrew text spelling and pronunciation.

Yah יָהּ (H3050), + וָֹ (u) + שַׁ Sh + ע A = Yahusha (יְהוֹשׁעַ) which means Yahuah (God) saves (H3091). See the diagram below:-

(NOTE: Hebrew text is read from left to right)

 

יְהוֹשׁעַ (H3091 = God / Yahuah saves)

Having difficulties to discipline yourself to read the Holy Bible daily? Then you are in trouble! Stop deceiving yourselves!

WARNING from God (Yahuah) Himself: The Word of God (Yahuah) warned that if we do not have His word abiding (remaining) in us, then we are NOT believers (saved)! WAKE UP PEOPLE! Read John 5:38:-

John 5:38 King James Version (KJV)
And ye (you) have not his (His) word abiding in you: for whom he hath (He / Yahuah has) sent, him ye (Him you) believe not.

1 John 5:2 King James Version (KJV)
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his (His) commandments.

James 1:22 King James Version (KJV)
But be ye (you) doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Galatians 6:7 King James Version (KJV)
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth (sows / puts in / plants / spreads), that shall he also reap (harvest / attain / get).

For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth (deceives, is deceiving) himself.

1 Corinthians 15:33 King James Version (KJV)
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Colossians 2:8 King James Version (KJV)
Beware lest any man (Beware, otherwise others may) spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit (deception), after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ (following the elementary principles of this world, rather than following [the truth—the teachings of] Mashiach).

1 Thessalonians 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”

Hebrews 3:13 King James Version (KJV)
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Matthew 10:8 King James Version (KJV)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye (you) have received, freely give.

Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
That if thou shalt (you shall) confess with thy (your) mouth the Lord Jesus (Aḏon Yahusha), and shalt (shall) believe in thine (your) heart that God hath (Yahuah has) raised him (Him) from the dead, thou shalt (you shall) be saved.

John 3:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus (Yahusha) answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly (seriously) say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God (Yahuah).”

Isaiah 52:6 King James Version (KJV)
“Therefore MY PEOPLE SHALL KNOW MY NAME: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth (He who does) speak: behold, it is I.”
