PROVE IT!

PROVE IT!
This is what I have to say...

Someone please prove to me the Tetragrammaton is original Paleo-Hebrew and was in the original OT written BEFORE the Jews were banished to Babylon and took on the Aramaic language.  Prove it, I dare you.  God did not give a name for Himself.  Why do you think so many kept asking for His name, because He did NOT give one...not in the OT.  The revelation of His name was coming, they just had to wait, yet, they could not wait. They wanted a "holy name" for God, they wanted a God they made and not a God that made them, hence they make up this name from something inserted into the Scriptures by scribes after they are banished to Babylon.  Honest Jewish scholars admit there is no pronunciation for the Tetragrammaton, yet there are over 72 guess names which have come from it.  You probably know Jehovah and Yahweh best.

Now, someone please prove to me that Yahweh or Jehovah were in the original manuscripts of the bible...PROVE IT! You can't and here's why:

Jehovah

1530, Tyndale's erroneous transliteration of Hebrew Tetragramaton YHWH using vowel points of Adhonai "my lord" (see Yahweh). Used for YHWH (the full name being too sacred for utterance) in four places in the Old Testament in the KJV where the usual translation lord would have been inconvenient; taken as the principal and personal name of God. The vowel substitution was originally made by the Masoretes as a direction to substitute Adhonai for "the ineffable name." European students of Hebrew took this literally, which yielded L. JeHoVa (first attested in writings of Galatinus, confessor to Leo X, 1516). Jehovah's Witnesses "member of Watchtower Bible and Tract Society" first attested 1933; the organization founded c.1879 by Charles Taze Russell (1852-1916); the name from Isa. xliii:10.1

Yahweh 1869, hypothetical reconstruction of the tetragrammaton YHWH (see Jehovah), based on the assumption that the tetragrammaton is the imperfective of Hebrew verb hawah, earlier form of hayah "was," in the sense of "the one who is, the existing."2

JEHOVAH (Yahweh), in the Bible, the God of Israel. "Jehovah" is a modern mispronunciation of the Hebrew name, resulting from combining the consonants of that name, Jhvh, with the vowels of the word ădōnāy, "Lord," which the Jews substituted for the proper name in reading the scriptures. In such cases of substitution the vowels of the word which is to be read are written in the Hebrew text with the consonants of the word which is not to be read. The consonants of the word to be substituted are ordinarily written in the margin; but inasmuch as "Adonay" was regularly read instead of the ineffable name Jhvh, it was deemed unnecessary to note the fact at every occurrence. When Christian scholars began to study the Old Testament in Hebrew, if they were ignorant of this general rule or regarded the substitution as a piece of Jewish superstition, reading what actually stood in the text, they would inevitably pronounce the name Jěhōvāh. It is an unprofitable inquiry who first made this blunder; probably many fell into it independently.3

 These words did not exist at the time of the writing of the OT, and that’s a fact.  In fact, the Tetragrammaton is a fallacy and if you know anything about the Talmud and it’s real religion, you’d be shocked about what the Jews think of you.  No, I am not racist, I am against antichrist people, of all races.  Why did I bring the Talmud up, read this:

 Tetragrammaton (τέτταρα, four; γράμμα, letter), a Greek compound, found in Philo and Josephus, which designates the divine name composed of the four Hebrew letters J H V H (יהוה). The derivation and pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton is still doubtful. The form Jehovah (q.v.) used in some of the English Versions is an error which arose in the 16th century. It is now generally assumed that the word is the causative form (hiph'il) and should be pronounced Yahveh or Yahweh (accent on second syllable). The Jews quite early ceased to pronounce the tetragrammaton, substituting (as the Books of Chronicles and the LXX translation already indicate) the word Lord ('Adonai). The priests continued to use the name in the Benediction of the People (Numbers vi. 222 7), and on the Day of Atonement the High Priest pronounced it (Leviticus xvi. 30) amidst the prostrations of the assembled multitude. It is recorded in the Talmud that Rabbis communicated the true pronunciation to their disciples once in seven years (Qiddushin, 71a). The Jews called the tetragrammaton by a Hebrew denomination, Shem Hammephorash (שם ה..רש) i.e. the distinctive excellent name. It was considered an act of blasphemy for a layman to pronounce the tetragrammaton. This avoidance of the original name was due on the one hand to reverence and on the other to fear lest the name be desecrated by heathens. Partly in consequence of this mystery and partly in accord with widespread superstitions, the tetragrammaton figures in magical formulae from the time of the Gnostics, and on amulets. Many a medieval miracle-worker was supposed to derive his competence from his knowledge of the secret of the Name.4  (These are only a few examples, there are many, many more which show truth)

John 8:19
Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father:if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Jesus speaking to the “religious” leaders of the day…calling them liars.  They did not know God, they lied about His name (the Tetragrammaton) and everything else.  If God were their Father they would have known the truth and known Jesus as well. They knew neither.

God revealed His name…Jesus said:

John 17:6
I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world:…

What name did Jesus manifest?  What name did Peter say was the only name for remission of sin?  What name did Paul say was above ALL other names and what name did Peter say was the ONLY name whereby we MUST be saved?  Was it the Tetragrammaton…?  I see only Jesus! 

This is
 the first in a long series on the false names of God…the Tetragrammaton and the Pentagrammaton (supposedly Jesus’ real name).  I will be putting links on here as well to others who have studied this out and know the truth.  May Jesus save us all from this heinous blasphemy.
