WHO IS YEHOVAH?

As the Gospel of John has established, the Godhead is composed of two Godly beings: 
Theos - "The God" and "The Logos" - God's spokesman.  Yehovah is simply their surname - and applies to both these personages of the God Family - just as every member of any family all have the same last name. 
"For this reason, I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named"   (Ephesians 3:19
A name so sacred that it could not even be spoken out loud by the people of ancient Israel.
In the Hebrew scriptures it was represented by four letters called the Tetragrammaton" So this sacred name would be represented in English by the four letters - YHVH.  Since the vowels of the sacred name are not indicated and the name wasn't spoken out loud for centuries, the exact pronunciation has been lost. Many may debate over the true pronunciation of God's Holy Name. Some, pronounce it Yahweh -  Others say Jehovah. Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible tells us Yehovah - pronounced {yeh-ho-vaw'} - is the correct Hebrew  rendering.   should be aware of the true Hebrew names of our Father and our Savior, as well as the proper incidence of their Biblical usage
But I find fault in those who insist that these other renderings are just generic terms that should not be used.  Strong's Exhaustive Concordance tells us:  Jesus in Greek, is of Hebrew origin and is taken from the name Yehoshua, which in English is translated as Joshua(Jesus a bad translation of the true name of son of God in English we would simple address him as Joshua and the Jews would address him as Yeshua).  Yehoshua, in Hebrew means "Yehovah Saves". 
Christ - in Greek, is Christos, meaning the Anointed One - or the Messiah.
Keep in mind this information is shared with you in the hopes to get you to seek out and discover more about our savior. How can we defend our faith if we do not understand it. I encourage each of you to study the old text and discover the God of Abraham the great provider, the Great I' AM, all parts of the whole which we know as our Heavenly Father. To learn of our savior and his name the name we are saved by to better explain to those who are lost and have not meet him or know him.  If you are ever blessed to read the Torah its like reading a love story or a family history, different from the English Old Testament .


Lord like you did with Mose's (Moshe) reveals yourself to us in a way that we have never known you. It is my prayer and hope that both Father and son would reveal themselves to us Lord God grant us the wisdom and insight to draw near to you as children. We come to you with open arms to receive what you would have to know.
