The letter J is right

The Trinitarian Bible Society released an article saying, quite rightly, that “Jehovah” is the “most accurate pronunciation of the Divine Name”.

However, that’s not quite right. “Jehovah” is not the “most accurate” it is the exact, right and proper pronunciation of God the Father’s name.

But the problem is more deeply rooted. The Trinitarian Bible Society clearly does not believe the King James Bible is the ultimate authority, nor does it seem to think it is right in Psalm 119. In that Psalm, we see the names of Hebrew letters of the Biblical Hebrew alphabet. We see these words rendered in English. We see JOD, HE and VAU. TBS unfortunately has a different view, and essentially rejects that, giving the modernist “Yod and Vav” instead of the Biblical and perfect “JOD and VAU”.

It blatantly obvious that a J is not a Y and a U is not a V. But in modernist Hebrew, changes have been made.

Although they rightly reject “Yahweh” (which is the speculative name of some near eastern mountain or sky deity known also as Yah, or Yahu who is associated with Mount Seir in Edom) the TBS strangely still mutilates Jesus’ name stating, “and the name ‘Yehoshua’ (Jesus)”. Clearly this “Yehoshua” is nonsense, and not a name to be found in the King James Bible at all.

TBS also wrongly states, “‘Jehovah’ as the English form of the Hebrew ‘Yehovah’.” This is nonsense of the highest order, seeing as we have a correct English Bible, and see the word “JOD” in Psalm 119, and yet, instead of accepting the King James Bible’s use of the word “Jehovah” on occasion, they corrupt the lettering and sounding from “J” to “Y”.

Their article on the subject acts like “YHVH” and “YeHoVaH” are entirely legitimate and correct. The problem here is that while they have rejected the false deity “Yahweh”, they still have accepted a perversion on the same of God and on proper Hebrew as presented in the King James Bible in Psalm 119, but substituting letters and sounds.

Now TBS are right to make a case against “Yahweh” but they are doing so from a ground of quicksand since they have already accepted the modernists’ ideas to replace the pure and proper “J” with “Y”.

It is true, however, that at the end of names, the “j” sound becomes an “i”, as the article does rightly state, “Many Old Testament names begin with ‘Jeho-’ … (e.g., Jehoadah, Jehoash, Jehoshaphat) or end with ‘-iah’ (e.g., Amaziah, Jeremiah)”. It’s telling that when actually talking about Bible names suddenly the Tashlan nonsense of “Y” disappears.

Yet as soon as they can do so, they revert to perversions of the name of the Saviour, saying, “The name of God in the Old Testament, Jehovah, is eminently confirmed by the name of our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus, both in Hebrew (‘Yehoshua’) and in Greek (‘Iesous’), a name that has an absolutely glorious meaning: ‘Jehovah saves’.”

They do rightly show that Yahweh is a pagan deity and not Jehovah, stating, “Given that Jupiter in Latin is ‘Jove’ and the Samaritan ‘V’ are pronounced like a ‘W’, Yahweh could more accurately represent the Samaritan pronunciation of Jupiter (‘Joh-weh’), rather than the Scriptural name for God. This may indicate that the Samaritans identified their deity with Zeus or Jupiter, raising the possibility that Yahweh may reflect a corrupted or paganised form of the name.”

They also rightly show the modern invention of “Yahweh” as being in the hands of the German rationalists, critics and liberals starting from Gesenius.

The solution to the invasion of the names of Baali into the Church is the restoration of the true name of God as listed in the English Bible, the King James Bible.

“For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.” (Zephaniah 3:9).

It’s Christianity based on the King James Bible that will bring the Jews and many Christians back to the proper name of God:

EZEKIEL 36:19-23

19 And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

20 And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.

21 But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.

22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.

23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
