Greetings from Paul (Sha’ul)
1 Paul (Sha’ul), an apostle of Jesus Christ (Yahusha Ha’Mashiach) by the will of God (Aluahim), and Timotheus (Timothy) our brother,
2 To the saints and faithful brethren (fellow believers) in Christ (Mashiach) which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God (Aluahim) our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (Aḏon Yahusha Ha’Mashiach).
Paul’s Thanksgiving and Prayer
3 We give thanks to God (Aluahim) and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (Aḏon Yahusha Ha’Mashiach), praying always for you,
4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus (Mashiach Yahusha), and of the love which ye (you) have to all the saints,
5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye (you) heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth (is bearing) fruit, as it doth (does) also in you, since the day ye (you) heard of it, and knew the grace of God (Aluahim) in truth:
7 As ye (you) also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant (fellow servant), who is for you a faithful minister of Christ (Mashiach);
8 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit (Ruach).
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease (stop) to pray for you, and to desire that ye (you) might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That ye (you) might walk worthy of the Lord (Aḏon) unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God (Aluahim);
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath (who has) made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath (has) delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath (has) translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God (Aluahim), the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him (Him) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him (Him), and for him (Him):
17 And he (He) is before all things, and by him (Him) all things consist.
Christ (Mashiach) is Supreme
18 And he (He) is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he (He) might have the preeminence (superiority).
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell (fullness live);
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his (His) cross, by him (Him) to reconcile all things unto himself (Himself); by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Paul’s Work for the Church
21 And you, that were sometime alienated (isolated) and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath (has) he reconciled
22 In the body of his (His) flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable (unrebukable) in his (His) sight:
23 If ye (you) continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye (you) have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul (Sha’ul) am made a minister;
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions (sufferings) of Christ (Mashiach) in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:
25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God (Aluahim) which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God (Aluahim);
26 Even the mystery which hath (has) been hid (hidden) from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest (revealed) to his saints (Aluahim’s people):
27 To whom God (Aluahim) would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ (Mashiach) in you, the hope of glory:
(NOTE: Gentiles (noun / adjective) = anyone who is not of Jewish descent or who does not believe in God [Yahuah]; heathen, pagan)
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus (Mashiach Yahusha):
29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh (who works) in me mightily.

Israel’s (Yisrael’s) Ultimate Deliverance
32 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken (pay attention).
4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
(AMP Bible: 5 The fool (the good-for-nothing) will no longer be called noble, nor the rogue said to be generous.)
6 For the vile person will speak villany (For the fool speaks nonsense), and his heart will work iniquity (wickedness), to practise (practice) hypocrisy, and to utter error against the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth (devises, plan, invents) wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh (speaks) right.
8 But the liberal deviseth (devises, plan, invents) liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
9 Rise up, ye (you) women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye (you) careless (carefree) daughters; give ear unto my speech.
10 Many days and years shall ye (you) be troubled, ye (you) careless (carefree) women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
11 Tremble, ye (you) women that are at ease; be troubled, ye (you) careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
12 They shall lament (mourn) for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
(AMP Bible: 12 Beat your breasts [in mourning] for the beautiful fields, for the fruitful vine,)
13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea (yes), upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
16 Then judgment shall dwell (live) in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
18 And my people shall dwell (live) in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
20 Blessed are ye (you) that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither (there) the feet of the ox and the ass (donkey).

A Message about Assyria
33 Woe to thee (Great sorrow to you) that spoilest (ravager), and thou wast (you were) not spoiled; and dealest (deal) treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously (traitorously) with thee (you)! when thou shalt cease to spoil (you shall stop ravaging), thou shalt (you shall) be spoiled (ravaged); and when thou shalt (you shall) make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee (you).
2 O Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee (You): be thou (You) their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3 At the noise of the tumult (rumbling) the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself (Yourself) the nations were scattered.
4 And your spoil [of Israel’s foe] shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller (caterpillar): as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
5 The Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) is exalted; for he dwelleth (He lives) on high: he hath (He has) filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy (your) times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) is his treasure.
7 Behold, their valiant (brave) ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth (stops): he hath ([the enemy] has) broken the covenant (Covenant), he hath (has) despised the cities, he regardeth (regards) no man.
9 The earth mourneth (mourns) and languisheth (languishes): Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
10 Now will I rise, saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah); now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11 Ye (You) shall conceive chaff, ye (you) shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13 Hear, ye (you) that are far off, what I have done; and, ye (you) that are near, acknowledge my might.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath (has) surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell (live) with everlasting burnings?
15 He that walketh (walks) righteously, and speaketh (speaks) uprightly; he that despiseth (despises) the gain of oppressions, that shaketh (shakes) his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth (stops) his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth (shuts) his eyes from seeing evil;
16 He shall dwell (live) on high: his place of defence (defense) shall be the munitions (fortress) of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
17 Thine (Your) eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
18 Thine (Your) heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
(NOTE: scribes = Jewish learned leaders trained to write and teach the Torah, the law of God)
19 Thou shalt (You shall) not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive (a people of unintelligible speech which no one comprehends); of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand (of a strange and stammering tongue which no one understands).
20 Look upon Zion (Tsiyon), the city of our solemnities: thine (Your) eyes shall see Jerusalem (Yerushalayim) a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
21 But there the glorious Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
22 For the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) is our judge, the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) is our lawgiver, the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) is our king; he (He) will save us.
23 Thy (Your) tacklings (ship’s rope) are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast (tall pole), they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil (plunder) divided; the lame take the prey.
24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell (live) therein shall be forgiven their iniquity (sin / wickedness).

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.

ANSWER: God’s actual name is as follows:-
(NOTE: YHWH (proper noun) = 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 the proper name of the God of Israel (Yisrael). יְהוָֹה (H3068) in tetragrammaton: יְהוָֹה (H3068) יְ (yod) ה (he) וָֹ (uau / waw) ה (he)

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)

“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”

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).”
