Importance of the name of God

The name of God revealed in God's Eternal Word - Holy Bible is Yahowah which is shortened as Yah in some scriptures.( Exodus 15:2,17:16, Psalms 68:4,18,77:11,89:8,94:7,12,102:18, 104:35, 105:45, 106:48, 111:1,112:1, 113:1,9, 115:17,18, 116:19, 117:2, 118:5,14,17,18,19, 122:4, 130:3,135:1,3,4,21, 146:1,10, 147:1,20, 148:1,14, 149:9, 150:1,6, Songs 8:6, Isaiah 12:2,26:4,38:11 ). The meaning of Yah is  "am" or "to be" or "existing" and meaning of Yahowah is " the existing one" or "the being one". 

God explained his name in greater detail when Moses asked what will he tell children of Israel when they ask what God's name is ( Exodus 3:13,14 ) and God says to Moses to tell them I am who I am, which in Hebrew reads as eh yah asher eh yah. That is God is saying I am the only one who really exists in the present, existed in the past eternally and will exist forever in the future. All creations of God  who claim to exist, exists only because God exists, for God created them and preserves them and judges them when they deny God. 

Yahowah in Hebrew is written as יְ הוָה. Historically most common pronounciation of these Hebrew words יְ הוָה which translates to English alphabets without the niqqud vowels as YHWH is Yehowah. But first 3 letters  "Yeh" of Yehowah itself is incorrect as we know clearly from other scriptures ( Exodus 15:2,17:16, Psalms 68:4,18,77:11, 89:8, 94:7,12, 102:18, 104:35, 105:45, 106:48, 111:1,112:1, 113:1,9, 115:17,18, 116:19, 117:2, 118:5,14,17,18,19, 122:4, 130:3,135:1,3,4,21, 146:1,10, 147:1,20, 148:1,14, 149:9, 150:1,6, Songs 8:6, Isaiah 12:2,26:4,38:11 ) that Yah is the initial 3 letters. 

The name of God Lord in Hebrew is written as " יְ הוָה ". Middle eastern languages like Hebrew, Arabic etc. are read and written  from right to left unlike English and other languages which are read and written from left to right. The first letter here pronounce in english as Ya. Then there is a 2 dot vowel underneath that Ya pronouncing hebrew letter which is sheva niqqud vowel of Hebrew. The Tiberian Israeli and Babylonian captivity Israeli pronounciation of "sheva" niqqud ( 2 dots underneath : ) is short "a". This along with first letter "Ya"  pronounce as Ya. 2nd letter is pronounced as "ah" or H in english language. Since unrythmic words are more rare in semitic languages and also since similar names like Yahoshua ( Joshua ), Yahoshaphat ( Jehoshaphat ), Yahudah ( Judah ), Yahoash ( Joash ) have an o or u pronounciation along with H and also because Yehowah ( Jehovah ) is the most common pronounciation of Hebrew tettragrammaton YHWH  we can conclude that the pronounciation of 2nd letter is "ho". So first 2 letters is pronounced as "Yaho".

3rd letter is pronounced "Va or Wa". In modern Hebrew this letter is pronounced as "V",  but in ancient Hebrew this letter was pronounced as W and this is today still preserved in certain Hebrew dialects like Yemeni Hebrew dialect particularly for religious purposes. The supplied niqqud vowel underneath this 3rd letter is an upside down triangular 3 dots which is the "segol" niqqud vowel which is varioulsly pronounced as short "a" in Yemeni Hebrew dialect or as short "ae" or short "e" in other Hebrew dialects. Yemeni Hebrew is considered to be closest to original Hebrew than other Hebrew dialects. So from above 2 points we can conclude that the thrid letter is pronounced as "Wa". 4th letter which is same as the 2nd letter and so is pronounced as "ah" or H in english language and not as "ho" or "hu" when it is not the ending letter in a word. Thus 3rd and 4th letters together is spelled as "Wah". Thus these 4 letters for God Lord in Hebrew are together pronounced as Yahowah.

In New Testament scriptures the name of Lord Jesus Christ is revealed as Yahoshua the Anointed One ( Anointed one is Mashiah in Hebrew and Christos in Greek, from Christos Christian originated in Antioch as recorded in Acts 11:26 ), which means Yah  is Salvation ( Shua means salvation in Hebrew). Here also "Yaho" is from the initial part of name of God - Yahowah and shua means salvation in Hebrew.

The name Christian occurs 3 times in New Testament scriptures ( Acts 11:26, 26:28 and 1 Peter 4:16 ) and it can be retained as God's Assembly was called so first among the Greek speaking community of Antioch in modern Turkey. But Christ which is shortened form of Christos in Greek or Mashiah in Hebrew which means the anointed one, should be changed to Anointed One itself in English and appropriate words that means  anointed one in other languages as Lord Jesus Christ came to save not just Greeks but all people of this earth of all languages who shall trust in him.

Since God revealed his name to Israelites in their Hebrew language God wants all people of earth who follow other languages also address God in his revealed name in Hebrew. This is made clear in God's Eternal Word - Holy Bible  where God condemns sorrounding nations of Israel for not learning to swear in the name of Yahowah instead using the name of idol Baal for worship and makes it clear that he will destroy them for doing so ( Jeremiah 12:14-17 ).

So it is important that correct name of God in Hebrew which is Yahowah is used in all prayer and worship and all Holy Bible versions and translations all over this earth. So Yahowah which is the correct name of God in Hebrew is used in True version of Holy Bible - God's Eternal Word.
