Was the name Jehovah was invented? Part I.

Part I.

From my research papers:

"This the sacred namers really crow about. I think they do themselves a great disfavor by crowing 'sold out' as to quote the occult scholars at the turn of the century, who write that the name of Jehovah is monstrous, is a hybrid name, is hideous, everything except beastie; although someone has probably written about that.

That is not God's mind! His name was marked from the very beginning of the pointings pronounced as Jehovah. Does that make Jehovah a sacred name? No! So, why aren't they arguing on our side for simply arguing for the name of the God of the Old Testament? It's not sacred, but there's nothing wrong with the term Jehovah. Nothing sacred about the 'ya' sound, and nothing sinful about the 'j' sound.

But that's not the point. When we write about the God of the Old Testament, we have the responsibility of using God's name properly. At that time the transliteration out of the Hebrew into English is Jehovah. Nothing wrong with that at all.

On the other side of the coin, Yahweh is an imposter. It truly is a monstrous name, truly is hybrid and hideous and should not be used by us, because I have traced it back through Gnostic records to the time of Christ.

Gnostic Jews and Gentiles alike who claim to be of 'the way of Cain'; remember Jude writing about the 'way of Cain'? They used the name 'Yahveh.' They didn't use the name Jehovah. The Christians were using the name Jehovah when they referred to the God of the Old Testament.

So, on the one hand Jehovah is not a sacred name, it's a Divine name. We can use it and we should. Yahweh, on the other hand, should not be used for the God of the Old Testament, or Yahshua for the God of the New Testament.

This is what exposing these myths is all about. So, in an argument against the use of Jehovah, sacred namers claim that this name was unknown in Biblical times. They insist that the name of Jehovah is a recent invention, concocted in the 1500s by a Catholic priest.

Pray tell, how did Tyndale—who came out of England as a young man in his 20s and was on fire for God and he's translating—in Germany, running for his life because Martin Luther had just nailed his 95 Theses to the doors of Wittenberg.

Tyndale spent a year with Luther at Wittenberg was a hunted man by the Crown of England and now by the Catholic Church. So, they write that the name Jehovah was invented by a Catholic priest.

How in the world did this poor man Tyndale, before he died, running through Europe, being driven from pillar to post in Germany had to flee out of the printers of Germany as the Crown was coming in the front door they were going out the back with their materials, getting on a ship, quickly paying for passage and going up the Rhine to a main Jewish area for the Sephardic Jews where he studied a bit of Hebrew and continuing his work in other places. Mainly in the city of Marburg where the Saxon Duke was protecting him.

One of the interesting stories there is that many of dukes, after the Bible was translated and printed, lost their power, money and their little kingdoms. They were just there to transmit God's Word 'through the pass before the Indians cut everything off.'

How he could have gotten in touch with any Catholic on to pass the word 'Jehovah' on to him when it wasn't even an issue at that time.

Why would Tyndale accept this mess from any Catholic at this point, especially an agent of the pope. Galatinus was the pope's confessor, meaning they would get in a little box and the pope told Galatinus how his golf game was going. I mean that seriously in one sense, because the pope at that time was Giovanni DeMachi. The most liberal folks of the era would walk down the streets with their mistresses and sometimes their misters, they had both, and openly flaunting all this sin before the people of Rome, their own people. Of course, this pope was one of the main leverages for the Reformation.

They quote well-known Biblical writers and editors who support this view. These were Catholic Jesuits who were professing to be Protestants. Remember, the Jesuits will lie and pretend to be anything and do anything, and will commit any sin to do the will of their god! This is the vow that they take.

In the introduction to The Emphasized Bible, editor Joseph Rotherham writes:

"The pronunciation Jehovah was unknown until 1520, when it was introduced by Galatinus; but was contested by Le Mercier, J. Drusius, and L. Capellus, as against grammatical and historical propriety' (pp. 24-25)" (The Mistaken J, p. 17).

I brought the Rotherham Bible with me; this is a sacred name Bible. This is what they use. It was Rotherham that first wrote that God's name in the Old Testament—the Divine name—was sacred. It had been oppressed and was finally liberated and His name was Yahweh, and that we must correct hundreds of years of defiling God's name. He went to the Greet text of Westcott and Hort who were occultists, Jesuits and Protestant professing scholars who led the scholarly world away from the Greek of the King James Version.

They also professed the perverted Hebrew of the synagogue of the rabbinic Hebrew and began to rewrite the Masoretic text. He does it in this Bible. So, this is truly monstrous as a Bible, truly a hybrid version. This is where they get it and it's the main Bible of the sacred namers. They quote him over and over again. They started their work in 1930 in Detroit and the sacred name movement has spread and spread and is now affecting our people in a major way.

Sacred namers believe that they have the real facts concerning the name Jehovah because a number of sources support this view. Among these sources is the Jewish Encyclopedia, which states, "The reading Jehovah is a comparatively recent invention. Jehovah is generally held to have been the invention of Pope Leo the 10th's confessor, Peter Galatin…" (De Arcanis Catholic Veritates 1518, Folio XLIII)…

He's defending the truth of the ancient Catholic Church—that's simply what it means. It was actually published in 1816 and the Jewish Encyclopedia has it around 1518 and later they say 1520. So, they can't make up their mind.

…who was followed in the use of this hybrid form by Fagius Drusius. Van de Driesche, who lived between 1550 and 1616, was the first to ascribe to Peter Galatin the use of Jehovah, and this view has been taken since his days" (vol. 7, s.v. "Jehovah").

Is it true that the name Jehovah was invented by a Catholic priest named Galatin or Galatinus? Or is this view of scholars itself an invention? Let us examine other historical and Biblical sources to shed more light on the subject.

This is where it really gets interesting. Believe me, this has been an incredible detective story and as this thing unfolded I couldn't believe my eyes. The hypocrisy, deception and the lies that have been passed down. How easy it is to deceive people who don't check the records. How easy it is to bury the records to the point where they're almost lost.

I believe that the remaining records that we have in the Protestant world will be allowed to disintegrate into dust, burned or destroyed, and just taken out of the libraries in the next few years.

For several years I researched it at the library at Andrews University. I've notice that the main library is going down hill, falling apart. They're not keeping the books up, and these are books from which I got this information, among others. The Encyclopedic works that were written at the end of the 1800s and the beginning of the 1900s that go back into the German and English literature and verify these things, when those works go we will have none of this.

We're in a 'gnat's blinking of an eye' to those works being destroyed, unless somebody preserves them on disc or copies them."
