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 the Creator’s actual / proper name?
ANSWER: The Creator’s actual name is as follows:-
(NOTE: YHUH (proper noun) = 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is the proper name of the Creator. יהוה (H3068) in tetragrammaton: י (yad) ה (hay) ו (uau ) ה (hay)

17 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / YHUH Yahuah sent not his (did not send His) Son into the world to condemn (disapprove) the world; but that the world through him (Him) might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him (believes [and] decided to trust Him [as personal Savior and Adon]) is not condemned: but he that believeth not believeth (but he that does not believe) is condemned already, because he hath (has) not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / YHUH / Yahuah [which is Yahusha ha’Mashiach].
