Begin at the Beginning
See the Whole Word. Discover the Whole Story.
Would you start watching a movie at over three quarters of the way in? Or flip to the last chapter of a novel and begin reading from there? No, of course not. You would have an incomplete and inaccurate understanding of the storyline and character development, and would misunderstand much of what you would see or read. So, why would you do it with the Word of YHWH God?
Many people treat the Bible as a collection of separate stories bound together only by the physical binding, but this is not Truth. Every page is connected to every other page, and it has a common theme that runs from start to finish. It is one story. One love story. The most powerful love story ever told.
YHWH revealed to us the end from the beginning. So, let’s start there…
YHWH
You will notice we use YHWH instead of the common phrase: the LORD.
God’s Sacred Name is יהוה. Transliterated into English it becomes YHWH. This is the Name of God. In most English Bible translations, his name is substituted by the phrase: the LORD. We believe it is wrong to remove His Name from His Word!
YHWH is pronounced in various ways, which is why we don’t write it out as it sounds, this way you can read it in your own chosen way. The way we say it, however, is Yahweh.
There is an excellent teaching on this by 119 Ministries, you can find on their website, here.
Bible Translation
Unless otherwise noted, Scripture quotations throughout Whole Word Ministries are based on the World English Bible (WEB), a public-domain translation.
In keeping with our desire to reflect the Hebraic context of Scripture, we may use the name Yeshua in place of Jesus, along with certain other restored Hebrew names and terms. Where such changes have been made, the quotation should be understood as adapted from the WEB rather than as an unaltered quotation of the World English Bible.
The WEB keeps God’s sacred Name—Yahweh—in His Word. When we quote from other versions, we always return the LORD back to YHWH.
Yeshua
The Hebrew name ישוע is transliterated into English as Yeshua.
Over the centuries ישוע was transliterated into the Koine Greek name Ιησούς, which was then transliterated into the Latin name Iesus, which is where the English name Jesus comes from.
Yeshua is the same name as Jesus, except with the direct route to English.
Yeshua (ישוע) was the common short form for Yehoshua (יהושע), which in English is Joshua, during second temple Jerusalem.
Yehoshua means: YHWH saves.
Yeshua means: He will save, or Saviour.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
