The Name of GOD

I have searched for 45 years for the truth of the Bible and GOD's Word and that search has taken many forms and I have followed many paths, some fulfilling and others leading to virtual confusion on my part. The father of confusion is Satan which means when you search on your own and under your own wisdom the devil will step in quickly and provide what appears to be valuable information through common knowledge clues or obscure clues disguised as little golden nuggets of the truth, they are false. Soon you are following a path that is nothing more than an elaborate circle, like a small boat with just one oar you row and row and row but a wise mind continually listens for that small quite voice and hears that it is time to look up and see the whirlpool of darkness you circumnavigate is nothingness and darkness follows closely behind. That is when you finally realize that there are essentials one must first seek but to correctly find these essential points one must be of a humble and contrite heart before our heavenly Father, clarity of purpose and clear vision comes soon. Seek the truth of GOD with all your heart, mind and soul and revelation begins to occur in small increments at first and greater knowledge then follows.

One thing that bothered me for so many years was the fact that the Bible I was reading continually stressed GOD's name, yet all I ever found was a description, or if you will an explanation of the meaning of HIS name.

Exodus 3:14 "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."  In Hebrew "ehyeh 'ăšer 'ehyeh". For many years I accepted this answer but I always had a sense that there was much more. Forward many years and that question began to burn in my heart and I knew there was more.

Another point I am sure most know is that YHWH is an abbreviation of GOD's name and this is what you will find in a Hebrew Bible in most instances but you will also find Hashem (The Name) Adonai and LORD, not the name of GOD. 

The Rabbi's of old, otherwise known as the Pharisees and Sadducees had decided that knowing the name of GOD was just too much power to be thrown around lightly so they basically hid the Name and only they new the real Name and the High Priest would only say it aloud once during the Day of Atonement in the Holy of Holies. It is a long story but a misguided attempt to build a wall of protection around Torah for the supposed benefit of the children of Israel but it was also intended to keep power in the hands of the elite. The name has been hidden for almost 2000 years. God said, through the prophets, that HIS name would be known throughout the world and even the gentiles would know the truth in the end days.

Well, to get to crux of the subject, I found a Karaite Jew by the name of Nehemia Gordon, a great biblical scholar from Israel, who has opened the book of Rabbinical secrets to show us all that the name of GOD has always been there, it is there without vowel points which define how a letter is pronounced. This is the part I love, Nehemia's persistence in seeking the truth has been rewarded with over a thousand documents throughout history that clearly show that the leading Orthodox Rabbinic leaders (Pharisees) have always known the truth of HIS Name but have suppressed this knowledge. There are many who will vehemently deny GOD's true name but as with all of GOD's truth Satan tries desperately to confuse and deny. Remember that GOD said in the end days all who want to know and search will know HIS true name.

The name of GOD is mentioned in the Bible 6828 times. I am satisfied that Nehemia is correct and that the Name of GOD written in English is Yehovah. Please research for yourself at Nehemia's site.
