John 17:6-7 "I revealed Your name to the men whom You gave to Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me; and they have kept Your Word. (7) Now they have known that everything that you have given to me I have given to them and they received them."

 

 

I have been called to teach the Truth of Torah from a Malkitzedek point of view. The message that I preach is sent out with urgency, for there are souls at stake! No warm fuzzy teachings, just the unadulterated facts of Scripture. Yahweh inspires me to speak to this rebellious world in these last days. His Word is meant for every being on the face of this planet, including myself, for learning, instruction, faith, belief, hope, mercy, reproof and most importantly... obedience!

 

Shalom Shalom,

Teddy Wilson

Yahweh vs Jehovah

What is the true name of our Father in Heaven?

Elder Teddy Wilson

Seekers of Yahweh Ministries

(As recorded Live on March 23, 2020)

Shalom everyone, this is Teddy Wilson with Seekers of Yahweh Ministries and I wanted to do this live shoot real quick, another Seekers Quick Study.

 

I have a quite a few questions and comments and things going on right now concerning the use of the word Jehovah and so I wanted to do this. It's really not going to take very long everyone, I mean the history is everywhere, but for those of you just coming into the faith or really need some direction in sharing with others why Jehovah is an impossibility, this will be a perfect short study to share with them.

 

Okay, so it'll be posted on our YouTube page, Facebook page, Vimeo, and all of our other social medias as well. So, I'm kind of going to be giving away a little bit of my reasoning behind the use of Yahuwah at the same time, but it wasn't intentional, but you'll see when I pull up the Hebrew here and show everybody why. You know, I'm not a fan of the, you know, I'm not talking bad about the use of Yahuwah, I just say it's very unlikely that it was that pronunciation or any three-syllable pronunciation as far as that goes.

 

But you'll see why when I pull up the Hebrew here. So, what I'm going to do is I want to read a few passages real quick and then I'm going to take you to some recorded history that comes right out of, I mean I've got the collection behind me and above me right now, the Encyclopedia Judaica, Britannica, all of this information you can find on your own very easily. But I want to begin with Exodus chapter 20 for Yahweh.

 

Shemot, Exodus 20:7. And of course, we're going to be reading verse 7. Now remember this is the marriage covenant, the marriage proposal. Everybody calls the Ten Commandments and what Yahweh says.

 

Again, in Exodus 20:7. You do not bring the name of Yahweh your Elohim to not, for Yahweh does not leave the one unpunished who brings his name to not. Now many of you are seeing use his name in vain or take his name in vain. If you do word studies on that passage, the Scriptures has that translated a lot better.

Yahshua or Jesus

What is the true name of our Messiah? Was the original name changed?

Halleluyah. Okay, so we gotta man up. Be the men and women that Yahweh called us to be.

 

Search out these things that leads to truth and expose with Yahweh's light, these hidden agendas and hidden theologies that are actually rooted in darkness. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to go ahead and pull up this PowerPoint. We're going to go through it and you and I are going to the best of our ability, transliterate Yahshua's name into Greek.

 

And you will also be looking at everything I'm looking at so that everybody can follow along. And if you want to have a copy of this PowerPoint, I will send it to you. Again, just send me an email or a text message and I'll make sure that it gets to you.

 

Let me go ahead and get everything pulled up here. So here we go. Yahshua versus Jesus.

 

And what we're going to be doing is, you guys don't need to see me, I want you to see this notebook that I put together here. Another fancy little thing on my PowerPoint creator. So we're doing this in book form.

 

Each and every one of us will see the same thing. And you and I will translate the Savior's name at the end of this teaching and compare it to what we see in the Greek. So the importance is rooted in the Hebrew compounds that make up the English word Joshua or the Hebrew Yahshua.

The "Law"

Study on verses in the book of Romans that seem to do away with the"Law" (TORAH). 

 

Print / Downloads / Video

 

We will start with a verse often used, (Rom 10:9). That if you confess with your mouth the Master Yahshua and believe in your heart that Elohim has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved (Rom.10:9). 

 

Where the misunderstanding comes in, most teachers of Yahs Word fail to leave this verse in its context. They say that if one reads this verse, that it indicates saying the SINNERS PRAYER is all that one needs to do to be saved. Let me say this. The most important thing in understanding Biblical truth is this...context, context, context! If we leave this verse right where it belongs, in the text of this chapter, we will see its true meaning.

 

Now go back to the beginning of this chapter, and we see the following, Truly brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to Elohim for Yisra'el is for deliverance. 2 For I bear them witness that they have an ardour for Elohim, but not according to knowledge. 3 For not knowing the righteousness of Elohim, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of Elohim. 4 For Messiah is the goal of the 'Torah unto righteousness to everyone who believes. For Mosheh writes about the righteousness which is of the Torah, "The man who does these shall live by them" (Rom.10:1-5). We need to make note of the words that I have underlined in these verses. It gives us the context of "who" Sha'ul is speaking to here. He starts off by telling us that he is speaking about who? It is ISRAEL that he is speaking about, his countryman, "HIS PRAYER TO YAHWEH FOR YISRA'EL" is that THEY may be saved. He was not speaking about anyone other than his Native Brothers. He bears witness that they (the Yahudim 'Jews' that have not believed on Messiah) have a zeal for Yahweh, but not according to knowledge, the Faith (belief in Messiah), Because they had not believed on Yahshua. They try even today to seek out their own righteousness, continuing to seek justification in what is commonly known as "the oral law" or the "Talmud". This was not meant to say that they form their own righteousness by following Yahwehs laws in covenant.

**Message Summary**

The study from Seekers of Yahweh Ministries delves into the contentious topic of the pronunciation of the Savior's name: "Yahshua" versus "Yeshua."

The speaker, Teddy Wilson, emphasizes the importance of using accurate Hebrew pronunciations rather than relying on modern Jewish pronunciations or translations influenced by other languages. He argues that the name "Yahshua" is the most correct and authoritative form and highlights the dangers of transliteration, the significance of Hebrew language study, and the historical context of biblical names. This essay summarizes the key points discussed in the transcript, including the implications of mispronunciation, the role of Hebrew lexicons, and the need for a careful examination of language evolution in biblical texts.

**Introduction**

In religious contexts, the correct pronunciation of sacred names often sparks intense debate among believers. In the Seekers of Yahweh Ministries service transcript, Teddy Wilson addresses the pronunciation of the name of the Savior, presenting a compelling case for "Yahshua" over "Yeshua." This discussion is set against a backdrop of biblical scholarship, linguistic analysis, and a call for faithfulness to the original Hebrew language. The speaker stresses the importance of understanding the historical and linguistic nuances involved in transliterating Hebrew names and the potential pitfalls when relying on modern interpretations.

**The Importance of Hebrew Pronunciation**

The speaker begins by setting the stage for the discussion on the pronunciation of the Savior's name, drawing attention to the significance of accurate representation in worship and study. Wilson's approach is academic, urging attendees to engage with the material thoughtfully. He emphasizes the need for a return to Hebrew roots, asserting that the name "Yahshua" embodies a deeper connection to the original language of the Scriptures. The speaker warns against relying on modern Jewish pronunciations, as they may not accurately reflect the ancient Hebrew used during biblical times.

**Dangers of Transliteration**

A central theme of Wilson's teaching is the dangers associated with transliteration—the process of converting words from one writing system to another. He highlights several key dangers:

1. **Irrelevance of Uniform Scripts**: Wilson cautions against using irrelevant scripts from other languages (such as Aramaic or Cuneiform) to dictate Hebrew grammar. He argues that these scripts do not adhere to the grammatical rules of Hebrew and can lead to misunderstandings.

2. **Failure to Recognize Language Evolution**: He stresses the importance of understanding the evolutionary patterns of the Hebrew language over time. The influence of Aramaic and other languages on modern Hebrew pronunciation can obscure the true pronunciation of biblical names.

3. **Misinterpretation of Linguistic Roots**: Wilson points out that many modern interpretations of Hebrew names stem from flawed assumptions about their roots. He uses the example of "Yeshua," indicating that its feminine form compromises its validity as a masculine personal noun.

**Hebrew Lexicons as Authorities**

Throughout the transcript, Wilson advocates for the use of Hebrew lexicons to clarify the meanings and pronunciations of biblical names. He references several established lexicons, illustrating how they support the pronunciation "Yahshua." By contrasting this with the derivations and definitions provided for "Yeshua," he reinforces his argument that "Yahshua" is the original and authoritative pronunciation.

Wilson also highlights the significance of the name "Yahshua" being connected to the Hebrew root "Yasha," meaning "to save" or "to deliver." This connection is crucial for understanding the theological implications of the name, as it reflects the Savior's mission and identity within a biblical context.

**Historical Context and Linguistic Analysis**

Wilson's teaching is steeped in historical analysis, drawing on the evolution of language and the cultural context of the ancient Israelites. He emphasizes that the Hebrew language, as it was originally spoken, is distinct from modern interpretations. By exploring the linguistic shifts and the influences of surrounding cultures, he aims to restore clarity to the biblical text.

He also critiques the reliance on Greek translations, which have historically been used to justify certain pronunciations. By focusing on Hebrew sources, Wilson seeks to dismantle preconceived notions derived from translations that may not accurately reflect the original meaning or pronunciation.

**Conclusion**

The discussion of the Savior's name pronunciation presented in this transcript is a microcosm of broader theological and linguistic debates within religious communities. Teddy Wilson's teaching serves as a reminder of the importance of engaging deeply with the original languages of Scripture and the historical context surrounding them. By advocating for the pronunciation "Yahshua," he encourages believers to seek a closer connection to their faith's roots, emphasizing the power and authority of the names used in worship and prayer.

Through careful study and a commitment to understanding the complexities of language, Wilson invites his audience to navigate the intricacies of biblical interpretation with diligence and reverence. Ultimately, this conversation encapsulates the ongoing quest for truth within faith communities, urging believers to ground their understanding in the original texts while remaining open to the dynamic nature of language and its evolution over time.

Yahshua vs Yahusha

 

In this video, we look deep into the history of the Hebrew language to prove that Yahshua is superior over Yahusha when it comes to the Saviors Name. We use many Hebrew proofs throughout this study. May it bring honor to our King & Redeemer!

 

Shalom, shalom. Here we are, Seekers of Yahweh Ministries, still on top of the mountain. Last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, 2023 on the Gregorian calendar.

And we have saved this one for our exit out of this moed. We're going to be discussing Yahshua versus Yahushua. So, we've already done teachings on Yahshua versus Jesus, Yahshua versus Yeshua, and this one is long awaited to add to that playlist as well, Yahshua versus Yahushua.

Baruch Atah, Yahweh Eloheinu, Melech ha'olam, blessed be Yahweh King, the universe who has sanctified us by his commands, redeemed us by the blood of his son Yahshua, and given us command to hear and respond to the call of the shofar. Spirit and the bride say, come, come and snatch us away out of this rotten world that we are stuck in, Father. We worship you and only you.

Now, we're going to start with a little scripture. This is, for the most part, going to be an educational video. In other words, we're going to look at Hebrew.

We're going to see how the Hebrew works. We're going to see how the name of our Savior, through its de-evolution, has been pulverized by scholars all over the world for many, many, many years. Specifically, we're going to look this evening at this term that, as of recent, became widely accepted in the body of Yahshua.

This pronunciation, Yahushua. Now, what I'm going to be presenting is history. History of the Hebrew language that is documented.

And we're going to run down the possibilities and impossibilities of the transliteration of the Savior's name. In the other two videos, it was more of a direct approach. And it was more of just made up of basic elements.

This evening, we're going to dive deep into the study of Yahshua. You know Yahshua in the Old Testament. Yahshua bin Nun.

Bin Nun. Bain Nun. It's kind of an oxymoron.

The Hebrew letter Nun, meaning seed. There is a direct connection from Yahshua...

Also, at the end of this study you will find the link to the full playlist covering "The Book of Romans" in its entirety.  

We will start with a verse often used, Rom 10:9-10. That if you confess with your mouth the Master Yahshua and believe in your heart that Elohim has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. Where the misunderstanding comes in, most teachers of Yahs Word fail to leave this verse in its context. They say that if one reads this verse, that it indicates saying the SINNERS PRAYER is all that one needs to do to be saved.

 

Let me say this. The most important thing in understanding Biblical truth is this...context, context, context! If we leave this verse right where it belongs, in the text of this chapter, we will see its true meaning.

 

Now go back to the beginning of this chapter, and we see the following, Truly brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to Elohim for Yisra'el is for deliverance. Rom 10:2-5 For I bear them witness that they have an ardour for Elohim, but not according to knowledge. 3 For not knowing the righteousness of Elohim, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of Elohim. 4 For Messiah is the goal of the 'Torah unto righteousness to everyone who believes. For Mosheh writes about the righteousness which is of the Torah, "The man who does these shall live by them". 

 

We need to make note of the words that I have underlined in these verses. It gives us the context of "who" Sha'ul is speaking to here. He starts off by telling us that he is speaking about who? It is ISRAEL that he is speaking about, his countryman, "HIS PRAYER TO YAHWEH FOR YISRA'EL" is that THEY may be saved. He was not speaking about anyone other than his Native Brothers. He bears witness that they (the Yahudim 'Jews' that have not believed on Messiah) have a zeal for Yahweh, but not according to knowledge, the Faith (belief in Messiah), Because they had not believed on Yahshua.

Why the Sabbath Was Established

The purpose for the Sabbath was stated clearly by the handwriting of Yahweh Himself (Exodus 31:18) and preserved for us through His holy Scripture.

 

Yahweh again spoke the commandment to Moses, "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, 'Concerning the feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are My feasts. Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of Yahweh in all your dwellings,' " Leviticus 23:2-3.

 

Yahweh has created the seventh day holy to Him. He rested on the seventh day. Why? Do you think He was tired? No, Yahweh created, blessed, and sanctified the seventh day to give mankind a special time for rest and worship. "But, we must worship Yahweh every day of our lives, not just once a week," you might be saying. You are absolutely correct. We are to keep Yahweh foremost in our daily lives.

 

Yahweh has given us six days for ourselves, but the Sabbath has been set aside exclusively for a special communion between Yahweh and man. Nothing must interfere in this weekly relationship. This is how Yahweh intended it to be from creation and that is how it will be in the Kingdom. " 'And it shall come to pass that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me,' says Yahweh," Isaiah 66:23.

The Sabbath Signifies a Holy Bond with Yahweh

Yahweh established the Sabbath by resting on it after the creation. He intended that all people do the same when He made rest on the seventh day one of the royal commandments. The Sabbath was to be a sign between the Creator and His creation.

 

Read Exodus 31:13-14, "Speak you also unto the children of Israel, saying, 'Verily My Sabbaths you shall keep: for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations: that you may know that I am Yahweh that does sanctify you. You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defiles it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.' "

 

Notice first that the Sabbath is a special sign "throughout all your generations." Anyone that works on that day will be cut off from Yahweh's true people. The Sabbath, therefore, identifies the true worshippers of Yahweh. Keeping the seventh-day Sabbath is the difference between worshipping the Creator of this universe and worshipping a false, man-made mighty one. The pagans worshipped the sun god on "Sun"-day. Here, "sign" in the Hebrew means a monument, token or evidence. The Sabbath is a lasting memorial, evidence that those observing it are worshipping the true Creator.

 

But some say, "I keep every day holy, not any one special day." Notice verse 15, "Six days may work be done; but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest..." We are commanded to work six of the seven days of the week and rest on the seventh.

More proof that the Sabbath is to be kept forever is found in verses 16-17: "Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever." Perpetual means "permanent, lasting indefinitely."

 

Is the Sabbath merely for Old Testament Israelites—"Jews"? "Know you therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham..." "So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham..." "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Messiah Yahshua. And if you be Messiah's, then are you Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise" (Gal. 3:7, 9, 28-29).

Israel was given the promise that, if they would be obedient to Yahweh's Sabbath, they would be treasured and blessed by Yahweh, Isaiah 58:13-14. The promise is exactly the same for us as spiritual Israelites.

 

"Remember the Sabbath" is as important as "Thou shalt not steal," or "Thou shalt do no murder," Exodus 20.

 

The relationships between man and Yahweh never change. Yahweh blessed and sanctified the seventh day, thus making it His Sabbath. He did not do this for any other day, nor did He undo it for the seventh. What Yahweh does is for all time. He does not change, Malachi 3:6.

Born Again and Saved?

Born Again and Saved: A Critical Examination of Traditional Doctrines

Introduction

In this study, we delve into the concepts of "saved" and "born again." This significant topic challenges the traditional Christian teachings that have been embedded in contemporary theology. Wilson aims to uncover the historical and scriptural contexts of these terms, arguing that many of the doctrines taught in modern churches deviate from the original messages conveyed in the scriptures. Through a blend of humor and earnest inquiry, he navigates the nuances of Hebrew language and cultural understanding, asserting that the early followers of Yahshua were not Christians in the way we traditionally perceive.

Key concepts introduced include "salvation," "repentance," and the "sinner's prayer," all of which warrant a re-examination to align with the biblical texts rather than church traditions. Wilson emphasizes the importance of understanding the original meanings of these terms as they relate to the Hebrew context, which is crucial for a comprehensive grasp of early Christian beliefs.

Section 1: The Historical Context of Salvation

Seminary Teachings: Wilson critiques the education received in seminary schools, suggesting that it often leads to misunderstandings about the nature of salvation and the identity of the early believers.
Historical Evidence: He references historical figures and documents that assert the original followers of Yahshua were known as Messianites or Nazarene rather than Christians, challenging the conventional narrative.

Section 2: The Definition of "Saved" and "Born Again"

Etymology of Terms: Wilson emphasizes the need to understand the Hebrew words for "saved" and "born again," noting that these terms are often misinterpreted in English translations.
Scriptural Analysis: He presents definitions from various dictionaries, highlighting that the English term "saved" lacks a direct correlation to the concept of being bound for heaven, as traditionally taught. Instead, it relates more closely to "rescue from harm" and "set free from the consequence of sin."

Section 3: The Role of Repentance

Repentance and Salvation Relationship: Wilson stresses that true repentance must precede salvation, a notion often overlooked in contemporary teachings. He affirms that genuine repentance involves turning away from sin and returning to a life aligned with the commandments of Yahweh.
Scriptural Evidence: He cites Acts 19 and Hebrews 6:1-2, emphasizing that the early apostles taught the necessity of repentance and immersion (baptism) as critical components of the salvation process.

Section 4: The Sinner's Prayer and Altar Calls

Critique of Modern Practices: Wilson argues that the sinner's prayer and altar calls, widely practiced in modern churches, are not grounded in biblical scripture. He highlights that such practices were introduced relatively recently and are not reflective of the methods used by the apostles.
Biblical Alternatives: He references Acts 2:38, where Peter instructs believers to repent and be baptized for the remission of sins, asserting that this is the authentic pathway to salvation.

Section 5: Real-World Implications

Case Studies: Wilson showcases examples of contemporary Christian leaders who have begun to recognize and reject the falsehoods of traditional church teachings. He presents video clips of these leaders admitting to the inaccuracies of the sinner's prayer doctrine.
Cultural Shift: The chapter addresses the growing movement among believers who are returning to the foundational beliefs of the first-century assemblies, advocating for a deeper understanding of the scriptures and a rejection of modern theological inaccuracies.

Conclusion

In summary, this chapter has explored the transformative discussion surrounding the terms "saved" and "born again." Wilson's insights reveal the complexities of these concepts as they relate to Hebrew understanding and the teachings of the early assemblies. The implications of this discourse are profound, suggesting that many individuals may be misled by contemporary interpretations that prioritize tradition over scriptural fidelity.

As we wrap up, it is essential to remember that the journey of faith requires a commitment to seeking the truth found in the scriptures. By embracing the historical context and original meanings of these terms, believers can establish a firmer foundation in their spiritual walk, moving beyond the "crackerjack messages" and into a deeper relationship with Yahshua and a true understanding of salvation.
