Concerning 'The Lord Jesus'

3/22/2016

15 Comments

 
This writing will be brief (compared to some of my other writings). I simply want to use a few historical and Scriptural facts to make a few points, and primarily to address some false assumptions and false teachings that are going around. If you've been Torah Observant (and been on the Internet) for any length of time, you've no doubt encountered most if not all of these teachings. Sadly, many fall prey to them when they are new to this walk. The feeling that you've been lied to and betrayed by the normative Christian Church for so long has led many to reject any and all orthodoxy. I tend to say, "A little bit of orthodoxy can go a long way." And yet, not everything the Church does or has done is wrong. It is also unfair to speak so monolithically, as if the "Church" were a singular entity, all sharing the same beliefs and practices. One need only a attend an Anglican or Greek Orthodox service and then a non-denominational Charismatic service to understand there are just as many differences between Christian denominations as there are between Torah-keepers and the average evangelical. Not everything they believe is a lie. And many things are merely misconceptions.
Picture
This article will not be a popular one for many of the Hebrew Roots folks, as those that need to read it the most will likely disagree wholeheartedly based on their current belief system. Nevertheless, I pray that you will search these things out for yourself, and test them against the Word. And please do look things up for yourself. By that I mean, actually study, don't just Google something or watch some sensationalistic YouTube video and assume you now have the answer. It is our responsibility as Believers to test what we've been told, and that goes for normative Christian teachers as well as Torah Observant ones.

There are three terms I will address here: "Jesus," "Lord," and "Adonai." There is quite a bit of misinformation going around regarding these words. Some arise from wishful thinking, and some are a complete farce. The theories for these appear to be primarily as follows:

Jesus - The main theory, by far, is that it means "hail Zeus." This theory existed more than 30 years ago, though was greatly popularized by Lew White in his book "Fossilized Customs." According to White, the name "Iesous" really comes from "Ie" meaning "to hail/praise" and "Sous" being a moniker for Zeus, which tells us that the name "Iesous" means "hail/praise Zeus." Other theories include "Jesus means 'horse' in Hebrew" or "hippo." Another claim is that the Greek Ιησους (Iesous) from which is derived the Latin Iesus and the English Jesus, pays homage to Zeus (in the "sous" ending) as well as to the goddess of healing "Iaso / Ieso." One less common theory also purports that "sus" means "pig" in Latin, and that "je" means "land/earth" and thus "je-sus" means "earth pig."

Lord - Again popularized by Lew White (as well as Dr. Chris "C.J." Koster), it is said that the English title "Lord" is a reference to an ancient Roman house-deity named "Larth." What is more, according to these proponents, is that "Lord" is what the Hebrew name "Baal" means. Thus according to the aforementioned theorists, calling our creator "Lord" is the same as calling Him Baal.

Adonai - They say that this term, which is the Hebrew equivalent of the English "lord" or "master" is a perversion. They say that Hellenistic Jews stole this term from the Greek god Adonis, and so they began to call YHWH by the title "Adonai" being a form of "Adonis," and thus continuing this tradition must mean that they are referring to the Almighty by a pagan name.

It is not difficult to see, and indeed one does not have to search the Internet very hard to find the many flaws in these theories. It seems that so many feel so deceived by modern Christianity, that they want to flee all association with anything that seems too "Christian" or often, even too "Jewish."

Before giving the facts on these three words, let me first make a statement. Personally, I do not call the Son of God "Jesus" very much at all. Only if in conversation with someone else, or perhaps when quoting a source that uses the name Jesus. In my teachings, in my studies, in my prayer time, I call Him Yeshua. I do personally find this most appropriate for believers in this walk wanting to emulate a First Century faith. And add to this the fact that the Jesus that many Christians preach is presented as anti-Torah, I understand why so many people are opposed to the name Jesus. I also very rarely use the term "Lord." Though I regularly use Adonai, as this title does indeed appear in the Scriptures. So again, let me be clear: I am neither a sacred namer telling you that you must pronounce His name as Yeshua; nor am I an inverse sacred namer telling you that unless you speak Hebrew or Aramaic fluently you should use Jesus instead. I am merely seeking to dispel some of the atrocious false teachings out there that fail the test not only of Scripture but completely lack any historical backing as well.

Jesus
True, it is not the name He was given when He was born, nor the name the angel told His parents. Period. But let me point something out first and foremost: it does not mean "hail Zeus" nor does it mean "horse" or "earth pig" either. Yes, the Hebrew word "soos" (סוס) does mean 'horse.' But the name Jesus in English or the Greek Ιησους is completely unrelated to this Hebrew word. Indeed, even if we backwards transliterated (took the name Iesous from Greek back into Hebrew) it would be spelled with the letter shin (ש) as Yeshua and Yehoshua are, and not samekh (ס) as "soos" is. But perhaps to further discredit this outrageous horse idea, let's examine the word "sus" (soos) that is spelled not with a samekh (ס) but with a shin (ש). I invite you to look up in a Strong's Concordance ('cause no doubt y'all can do that) the word "sus" spelled שוש. The Strong's number is 7797. Here's a link for your own direct edification. See what that word means? "Rejoice" and "exult." So if we're taking the Greek into Hebrew and digging for some supposed meaning meaning, I could much more easily say the name is tied to the word for "rejoice" instead of the word "horse." But nonetheless, this is all irrelevant, as that's not how languages work. 

Zeus is spelled zeta-epsilon-upsilon-sigma (Ζευς) in Ancient Greek. In modern Greek (which has little bearing on Biblical, Koine Greek at all) it is spelled Dias: delta-iota-alpha-sigma (Διας). The "Sous" in "Iesous" is spelled sigma-omicron-upsilon-sigma (σους). Not the same at all. Not even etymologically related.

Now the true part of this is that the Greeks did indeed have a goddess of healing called "Ieso," or the variant spelling of "Iaso."[1] But even that is spelled iota-eta-sigma-omega (Ιησω), not the same as Iesous (iota-eta-sigma-omicron-upsilon-sigma). Similar sounds do not automatically mean they are etymologically related.

Simply put, the only way to spell Yeshua in Greek, following Greek grammar rules, is Iesous. If you don't believe me, go read the Septuagint, which was translated centuries before Messiah was born. They translated both Joshua (Yehoshua) and Jeshua (Yeshua) as Iesous. Yes, that's right, both names were written as Iesous. The reason is as follows:

In Hebrew, the Name Yeshua is spelled yod-shin-vav-ayin (ישוע). (You may believe it is Yahshua, or Yahusha, or whatever else, but regardless that would just mean adding a hei (ה) in there somewhere). This could be written as Y-Sh-U-A. In Greek, the closest thing to a "Y" sound represented by  a yod (י) is the Greek iota (ι), followed by whatever other letter was needed to complete the vowel by making a dipthong. Thus in the case of Yeshua, it is IE (Ιη) to simulate the yod-tsere. In the case of Ya'aqov, it is IA (Ια) to simulate the yod-pathach (Iakobos), in the case of Yochanan it is IO (Ιω) to simulate the yod-cholam waw (Ioannes), and so on.

So with this, we could then spell Yeshua in Greek as Ieshua, right? Wrong. There is no "sh" sound in Greek, there is only a "s." So then we would have to trade the shin for a sigma, thus writing it as "Iesua (Ιησυα)." Well that would actually work, but then we have a problem: that name is feminine. Masculine names end in sigma (s) and feminine names end in alpha (a) the vast majority of times. Just like masculine in Spanish ends in "o" while feminine ends in "a." (An example would be Abuela, "grandmother" and Abuelo, "grandfather.")

So we would then have "Iesus." However, that would be pronounced "Yehs-US" and not "Yeh-sOOs" which would be needed to preserve the "oo" sound in "YeshUa." So the extra omicron was added to preserve the "oo" sound of the cholam-waw, thus giving us "Iesous" (Yeh-soos).

Simply put, with the limitations of the Greek alphabet it is not possible to write the name "Yeshua" in Greek. The closest you could spell it would be "Iesua" which is then feminine. So to a later reader of the text, he may assume that this person called Messiah is actually a woman. Just as we have no letter like the Hebrew tsade (צ), we have to use the two letters "ts" or "tz" to represent it. Such as the Hebrew word עץ (ets) which means "tree." The one-letter tsade makes the sound of "ts" such as in "cats." So in English, we have to use two letters together to make the same sound. Just as in Greek you have to substitute an omicron and an upsilon for the single Hebrew waw to make the "oo" sound.

If this breakdown here hasn't convinced you, then I invite you to show me how you would write the Messiah's name in Greek letters at the time of the First Century.

If you're still not convinced after that exercise consider this: there are two primary words in Koine Greek for "hail." Surely we would expect at least one of them to be present in construct of Iesous if it means "hail Zeus" right? Here are the words: 
  1. χαίρω (chairo) which means "rejoice" or "be glad" in form of a salutation.
  2. καλώ (kalo) which means "to call" or "to hail."
Note that neither of those constructs are in any resemblance to the name Iesous.

Lord
Does it come from the Roman "Larth"? Does it mean "baal"? No and no.


When people cite "sources" to claim that "Lord" comes from "Larth" (or another false god), they usually just make the claim. They say "lord" is etymologically derived from the name Larth, and thus it really refers to the god. This, however, is not in the least true. According to the Oxford English Dictionary the word is derived from the Old English "hlaford" which itself is actually a loan-term from the old Germanic word "hlafweard" meaning "loaf-ward" or "bread keeper." This refers to the tribal custom of a chieftain (master or lord of his village) having the responsibility of providing food for the villagers in his care. Honestly, I have to ask, how much more does this describe out Creator, since it is He who provides for us? Does manna come to mind to anyone else? God was the "hlafweard" or "bread keeper" of the Israelites in the Wilderness. "Hlaford" was, when coming into later English, changed to "lorde" and eventually lost the final "e" to become the "lord" as we know it today.[2] A simple study of Anglo-Saxon history grants a much deeper understanding of this word throughout the years.

So where, then, does "Larth" come in? It is actually Etruscan, not Roman. It refers to the Greek "hero" story of Laertes, who was the father of Odysseus (if you know the story of the Odyssey. If not, you can check this out for yourself).[3] So the name "Laertes" was etymologically related to Larth, which likewise means "lord/master" but has no relation to the etymology of the English term at all![4]

According to the Perseus online dictionary, "Lars" was used as an honorary title, and in much the same way as "lord" is used in England. This is also comparable to having Dr. or Rev. pre-fixed to one's name to display their status and/or honor. Thus, as with "baal" that we see below, it is actually backwards. "Lord" does not mean Larth (that is, it does not refer to some god or even national hero). Rather, the term Lars is the equivalent to the English title "Lord."


As for "lord means baal" it, too, is backwards. Baal (which, by the way, is a term applied to YHWH in Scripture in Hosea 2:16, among other places) simply means "lord" or "owner" and in some contexts also means "husband." As was mentioned in the case with "lars" so too does "baal" mean "lord/master/owner." Merely titles, not direct references to false gods.

Adonai
I could simply write this one off by saying, "Adonai is a word that is found in the Hebrew Scriptures!" But I'll go a little deeper. This one is actually the easiest to explain. The word adonai does not come from Adonis. Rather, the name Adonis is a Hellenized (Greek) form of adoni[5]. Adoni (minus the "a") is the same in Hebrew, Phonecian, Ugaritic, and other Semitic languages. It means "my lord." It is the word adon (lord) with a yod suffix, making it possessive: my lord. It is used in many places in the Scriptures. There is also a form of this word, with changed vowels in Hebrew, that is rendered as "Adonai" and is used many times in reference to YHWH. In fact, it is used over 300 times referring to YHWH. It is usually used along with the tetragrammaton, יהוה, and in most Bibles is rendered "The Lord God" but literally is "Adonai YHWH." (See Isa. 10:23-24; 22:5-15 for examples).

Conclusion
Simply put, a lot of these theories lack any real research and scholarship. It is akin to me saying that the Hebrew name of the Book of Genesis, Bereshit, is actually a slang term referring to excrement produced by a large fuzzy mammal (given that the first half sounds like bear, and the last four letters of Bereshit spell...something else). Is this true? Not at all. Just because a word in one language sounds like a word in another language, does not mean they are related. Just because, in English, "Zeus" sounds (and almost looks) like "Sous" does not mean they are related.

This article is already longer than I intended, so I'll end here. Simply put, the conclusion is this: Jesus is not the name our Savior was given when He was born. However, it is not some pagan conglomeration of "hail Zeus" or "the horse" or "earth pig." The Greek name Iesous actually predates Yeshua's earthly ministry by well over a hundred years. 

"Lord" is an Old English word derived from an old Germanic word, which actually has a lot of cultural history behind it. This word is, strikingly enough, a rather good English description of God. However, it is not His Name. I think if anything, that is the important understanding to have: God has a name, and it it is not Lord or God. He also has many titles.

Adonai did not derive from Adonis, but Adonis derived from Adonai. The pagans took many names and titles and applied them to their gods at a later date; should we abandon them all as well? The pagans had a god named Adon, El, Baal, etc. and each of these words are applied to God in the Scriptures. That is the takeaway here: just because pagans did something, does not make that something inherently evil. If it did, sacrifice would be evil. Prayer would be evil. Even sleeping, eating, and breathing would be evil.

So now you may be wondering: what's the point of this article, then, if I myself don't really say Jesus anyway? Simply, to set the record straight. To address the terribly flawed arguments out there that keep getting regurgitated. If you don't like the name Jesus, that's fine. Don't use it. But don't go spreading false information that it is somehow evil or pagan. 

But, I digress. I know most people reading this will still take issue with it. However, I hope that you do your own independent research, and not simply rely on the words of people like Lew White or CJ Koster or any of them. Look it up yourself, in some well-documented sources. If you're reading a book or article by someone (myself included), check their sources. Just because someone cites a source does not mean it is accurate. There is quite a bit of false information out there.

Be Berean. Shalom.

Why must the last a in Jeshua be dropped for only an s when names like Annas, Esaias retain theirs, i.e. can't the translation be Iesuas?

Annas is Chananyah in Hebrew; Esaias is Yeshayah(u); Iesous is Yeshua.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking beyond that?

Although I do not know that language- there are similar differences in other languages. Spanish for example has a for female names and o for masculine. I believe Italian is the same.
When there are language “rules” - it’s not like you can change them to suit yourself. They are what they are. Just like if you watch a foreign film. Your understanding of what is typed on the screen is dependent on the interpreter and how knowledgeable they are of both languages.
When I traveled out of country and paid to have someone write my daughters name in Chinese script - they told me they had no name like hers so they had to write Chinese characters that described her personality - and that would be her “name”.
I hope this helps

Its hard for me to believe that people actually believe that Jesus means hail Zeus, or that Adonai comes from Adonis. I don't see how you can get very much negative criticism, that you seem to be anticipating, Jay. Not after you have explained in detail the origin of the Titles and names in the various languages.

If you've not encountered it, then consider yourself blessed. It's among many of the weird falsehoods that are, sadly, prominently pushed among Messianic folks.

Only recently I've had to combat the "Yahweh means Jupiter" nonsense that is built on the same foundation as addressed here.

If you want to waste your money, you could check out 'Fossilized Customs' by Lew White. He promotes much by means of faux scholarship and much of the same sacred namer, "everything is pagan" sensationalism.

John identified Jesus Christ as the Beast

----- Revelation 13: “The Beast out of the Sea 16 The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea…17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.” -----
Revelation specifically and uniquely names Jesus Christ as the anti-Christ. Doesn’t look like it in English does it? That is because the English translation of this verse is in error! I am going to challenge this uninspired translation above, that has kept us all in the dark for thousands of years. Here again, we are warned that to understand the “name of the beast” requires those who have the wisdom and insight to understand spiritual things. We are going to employ just such wisdom and insight in this section; and clearly identify Jesus Christ as the name of the beast. In the process, demonstrate that what John actually said and meant in Revelation 13 is this:

Revelation Chapter 13:13-18
No exposition of the False Messiah would be complete without exposing the name of the beast and the number of his name. Again, we are misled by the Christian Church to believe the Mark of the Beast is 666; when actually, the Mark of the Beast is the spiritual mark of the Trinity (which is an X on the forehead or belief that Jesus in God incarnate) which is opposite of the Mark of Yahuah (knowledgeof His Name). In reality, the numbers 666 have nothing to do with anything at all! That is where wisdom and insight come in that John said was required. You see, John didn’t write down a “number”; he wrote down the 3 Greek letters of the symbol of Jesus Christ to the exclusion of all others in history.
666 is a violation of scripture not to “add to or subtract from”
Below is what Revelation 13 looks like in the Greek language:

Revelation Chapter 13 in Greek
So the number 666 in our English Bibles is misleading and, worse yet, in ERROR! It only represents the gematria (or the associated number) of what John actually wrote in Greek letters using the Chi, Xi and Sigma. Translators converted the Greek letters as written in Greek into the number 666 because they mistranslated the meaning of the Greek word ‘arithmos’ in Rev. 13 as ‘number’. Then they subtracted the Greek letters Chi, Xi and Sigma(as written by John) and added 666, violating the clear instructions not to add to or subtract from the book of Revelation or ANY book of scriture. They did both!
Revelation 22:19 - “And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.”
Deuteronomy 4:2 - “Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it”
Proverbs 30:6 - “Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.”
The translators should never have changed the SYMBOL to a NUMBER in the first place! The Translators should have left this SYMBOL in our English Bibles, as written in Greek, so that at “the time of the end” we would recognize the mark, the monogram, and the pictogram of Jesus Christ. The number 666 has nothing to do with what John actually wrote as he didn’t write down a number but a symbol. We arrived at our English translation of Revelation 13 by uninspired translators and scribes who did not posses the “wisdom” and spiritual “insight” John said was required, leaving us all subsequently in the dark until now. So let us illuminate Revelation 13 with a little wisdom from Yahuah and spiritual insight…
John saw the SYMBOL for Jesus Christ written in Greek, not a NUMBER!
What John was shown in Revelation 13, was a vision of the mark, the symbol of the serpent, the pictogram, and the monogram of Jesus Christ that has been before our very eyes for 1,700 years! John did not see, nor did John write down a number. The symbol John saw was a symbol for Jesus Christ which is called a Christogram.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christogram “A Christogram is a monogram or combination of Greek letters that forms an abbreviation for the name of Jesus Christ, traditionally used as a Christiansymbol. Christogram comes from the Latin phrase "Christi Monogramma", meaning "monogram of Christ". Different types of Christograms are associated with the various traditions of Christianity.”
The Catholic Encyclopedia admits that XS is one of the standard Christograms:

THE CURSE OF CANAAN: by Eustace Mullins; Audiobook 2;
time stamp 28:04 reveals the evil negro god of Freemasonry, is an evil negro trinity. The negro trinity consists of (YHWH); (Yah)=(Jah), Yahweh-Yahuah-Jehovah is Jahbulon, the negro moon god of the negro Idumeans/Edomites. These negro Idumeans/Edomites began to change their outward appearance, but as JESUS CHRIST said, but inward, Full of Dead Man’s Bones and all corruption. Your house/race/nation/seed line/people is a desolation.

According to Rev. Canon Richard Tydeman;
Walton Hannah, in an address to the Supreme Grand Chapter of England of “Freemasonry” on 13 November 1985, the word JAHBULON - YAHBULON is a compound of three Hebrew pagan gods:

* First, that it is a compound of ‫יָהּ‎‬ (Yah) ‘Yahweh’ + ‫בּעל‎‬ (bul) ‘on high, in heaven’ + ‫אוֹן‎‬ (’on) ‘strength’. Reference: The Rev’d Canon Richard Tydeman, An Address to Grand Chapter (of England), 13th November 1985.
* Second, that it may have been a blend of Hebrew ( Jah)+ ‫יָהּ‎‬ (Yah) ‘Yahweh’ + ‫זְבוּלוּן‎‬ (Zəbūlūn) ‘Zebulun or Zabulon, son of Jacob’.
* Third, it is explained as being a combination of Hebrew ‫יָהּ‎‬ (Yah) ‘Yahweh’ + ‫בּעל‎‬ (bul) ‘Baal, + ‫אוֹן‎‬ (’On) “On” (a city of Egypt, explained as a reference to Osiris.

* Stephen Knight in The Brotherhood and Martin Short in Inside the Brotherhood argued that “Jahbulon is a trinity consisting of (Jah)Yahweh, God of the Jews, Baal, God of the Phoenicians and Celts, and Osiris, an Egyptian God.

Your article was good brethren. It really was. I’m sure your heart as a child of YAH is beating for Him. Obviously. You just want to get it right in His eyes as well all do. But your article, these comments of these other thinkers/believers, just reminds me of John 7:37-53 “division of the people over Yahushua Ha’Mashiach(or whatever name you believe from the Ruach Hakodesh) When the Bible saids “There’s nothing new under the sun” lol you better believe it.

Shalom shalom to you all

Is YHUH the true name in Hebrew of our Heavenly Father as stated by Him?

I do agree with most of what you say especially what people say about hail zeus, people should stop with that. We both will agree on the first letter which is Iota that came from the Phonecian letter Yodh but the second letter didnt originally make an "E" sound it originally made the "H" sound that is why it is even in the shape of a modern H,Eata actually came from the phonecian letter Heth,for more information see this link https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eta
So the first two letters would be Yodh Hey the fathers name,and he said I come in the fathers name.As you said the Upsilon sigma was added to the name for masculinity so we are left with sigma and Omicron,The letter sigma didnt have to make the sha sound because it was a transliteration of hebrew.the letter sigma came from Heth which was from phonecian sin/shin and the final letter omicron is a picture of an eye and comes from ayin. So by this the first two letters spell the fathers name that is Yah stongs concordance 3050 and the word sha which is a shortened version of the hebrew word yesha strongs concordance 3468
the name would then be rendered Yah Sha or Yah is salvation.This is where the name Yahusha comes from because the father says , 1“I, I am יהוה, and besides Me there is no saviour.YeshaYahu 43:11 and Yeshayahu reveals the sons name because his name means salvation is Yahu and the sons name is Yahusha or Yahuah is salvation.
Have a blessed day my brother
