"Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh"
He who was, is, and is to come - He is without equal.
He is with us, the great I AM.
Revelation 3:8
“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for ( hast a
little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.”
. The wise Solomon asks,
“What is [God’s] name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?” (Pro 30:4). The true and living
God’s name is transliterated Ehyeh, meaning I AM. This is the name given to Moses along with the
Law. “And the true and living God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say
unto the children of Israel,” I AM” {Ehyeh} hath sent me unto you…this is my memorial unto all
generations.”(Ex 3:14-15). “I AM the Lord thy God…thou shalt have no other gods before me” (Exo
32:4-5).
Yehovah is from a Hollow Root
The name “Yehovah” derives from the three-letter root HYH which means "to be". We know this from
Ex 3:14 in which the Almighty explains his name as "Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh". The word Ehyeh is an
"imperfect" verb from the root HYH meaning "to be". In later Hebrew, the "imperfect" form took on
the meaning of "future", but in Biblical Hebrew it primarily expresses a repetitive action. In plain
English, Ehyeh means "I am now, and I will continue to be in the future". This is why Ehyeh Asher
Ehyeh can be translated as "I am that which I am", but also as "I will be that which I will be". Both
of these translations are correct, even if they are a bit inaccurate. An accurate translation would be:
"I am now, and will continue to be in the future, -that which I am now, and will be continue to
be in the future", also "I am who (I) am", -"I will become what I choose to become", -"I am what I
am",- "I will be what I will be",- "I create what(ever) I create", or "I am the Existing One". That's
quite a mouthful, and you can see why most translators prefer to dumb it down.
Let us stop here a minute and thinkabout what those 5 words “IAM THAT I AM”, is really saying.See
we are not only being told, but also being shown who and what our Father is. It is these precious
nuggets we miss when we don’t study for ourselves. If we would just take the time cross the T’s and
dot the I’s, and not be afraid to go outside of the Bible, which is a collection of religious texts or
scriptures, some, all, or a variant of which are held to be sacred, which may or may not have the
apocryphal manuscripts included with them. Who are they talking to, what were the customs of
those days., when, why, was it, where was it, how? All of those may seem so trivial to people, but
it’s in learning those things we find the hidden treasures that can quinch a thirst and change your
life. Yes, Fathers word changes lives. It is amazing to understand. Think about this there is a reason
Father said in “2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto YAH, a workman that needeth
not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. If it didn’t matter,Father would not have told
us to do it.
Ok back to our subject -some things you will need to look at “I AM”
by Christ'yal Ooten Christ'yal Ooten
“Day and night they never stop saying: ‘Holy, {Kodesh}, holy, {Kodesh}, holy {Kodesh} is He, who
was, is and is to come.’” (Revelation 4:8) These look like they simply say “I AM”is eternal. He existed
in the past, (“He was”), He exists in the present (“He is”), and he will exist in the future (“He is to
come”).
הֶי ְה ֶא ר ֶשֲא הֶי ְה ֶא‘) ehye ’ăšer ’ehye)again,as we know is the first of three responses given to Moses
when he asks for God's name in the Book of Exodus.
Understand the word הֶי ְה ֶא‘) Ehyeh) is the first person singular imperfective form of הָי ָה) hayah),
aka 'to be', and owing to the peculiarities of Hebrew grammar means 'I Am' and 'I will be'.
So with some people the meaning of the longer phrase ’ehyeh ’ăšer ’ehyeh is debated, and might be
seen as a promise ('I will be with you') or as statement of incomparability ('I am without equal').
Note: The Tetragrammaton (/ˌtɛtrəˈɡræmətɒn/ TET-rə-GRAM-ə-ton; from Ancient Greek τετραγράμματον '[consisting of]
four letters'), or the Tetragram, is the four-letter Hebrew theonym יהוה) transliterated as YHWH or YHVH), the name of God
Ok so…
The Letter “J”
Is approximately 485 Years Old
The popular names of “Jehovah” and “Jesus” were NOT in the original Scriptures, i.e. Torah, which
means “instructions” and therefore cannot be genuine. It is a fact, provable in part by the historical
nonexistence of the letter “J”. sound the letter (J) makes has never existed in the Hebrew, Aramaic,
Greek or Latin languages. This fact is why no one in” Yeshua’s day could have accurately
pronounced the English name Jesus.
Sometime during the early 12th century, (J) began showing up in some obscure dialects of the
Middle English language. Over the course of the next 500 years, infatuation with the new sound
caused letters like (I) and (Y) in the English language to be replaced by a (J). This was especially true
of male names that began with (I) or (Y) because the hard sound was, again, considered more
masculine. Names like lames became "James", Yohan became "John", and so on. During this
period, in 1384 John Wycliffe translated the New Testament to English for the first time. His only
source was the Latin Vulgate. Wycliffe continued to use the Latin spelling and pronunciation of
lesus. The printing press had not yet been invented and only a few hand-written copies of Wycliffe's
Bible were produced. In the 1450's, Gutenburg invented the printing press. Then in 1526 William
Tyndale translated the New Testament to the English language from the Latin Vulgate along with the
additional help of some ancient Greek manuscripts. Tyndale wanted the Bible translated into the
language of the common people and many copies of his translation were printed with the help of
the printing press. Tyndale was the first to use the letter (J) in the spelling of the name Jesus. His real name is Yeshua, which, means Saviour in Hebrew .

The Hebrew Bible scholar Nehemia Gordon on
Nehemias wall says, “I am often asked whether the true God’s name, Yehovah, is related to the Hebrew word for "disaster". The question starts off with the observation that the Hebrew word hovah means "disaster, calamity".
This word “hovah” appears three times in the Tanach, once in Isaiah and twice in a single verse in
Ezekiel:"Evil is coming upon you which you will not know how to charm away; disaster (hovah) is falling upon you which you will not be able to appease; coming upon you suddenly is ruin of which you know nothing." (Isaiah 47:11)
"Calamity (hovah) shall follow calamity (hovah), and rumor follow rumor. Then they shall seek vision
from the prophet in vain; instruction shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders."
(Ezekiel 7:26)
“Since hovah means "disaster" or "calamity", I am often asked, doesn't
mean that Yehovah also means "disaster" or "calamity". I guess this makes sense to those
innocents of basic Hebrew grammar, but in the Hebrew language this makes no sense. This would
be like saying that the English word "assume" is derived from the word "backside" because when
you ass-u-me you make a “backside” of you and me. Someone told me this many years ago, and
they were dead serious. Of course, an examination of any historical English dictionary will reveal
that "assume" comes from the Latin verb "assume(re)" and not from the English word for a donkey.”
So, let’s look at Some Hebrew basics.
Before we get ourselves in trouble assuming. With a few exceptions, every word in the Hebrew
language has a three-letter root, something proven in the 11th century by the Spanish rabbi, Yonah
Ibn Janah. Modern linguistics have confirmed this, observing that the three-letter root is a basic
characteristic of all Semitic languages.
Whole Roots
Most Hebrew roots are "whole" roots meaning all three letters of the root are present regardless of
how the root is used in different grammatical forms. For example, the Hebrew root SH.M.R. has the
basic meaning "to guard". Hebrew can use this root in dozens of ways, each with a different shade
of meaning, such as the verbs SHaMaRti "I guarded" and hiShaMeR "be careful" (be on guard), the
noun miSHMeRet meaning "duty" (which a person has to be on guard to keep), and the names
SheMeR and SHoMRon. As a "whole" root, the letters shin mem resh are always present in words
derived from this root.
Hollow Roots
The opposite of a “whole” root is a "hollow" root. In "hollow" roots, one or more of the three letters
of the root can be absent in certain grammatical forms. For example, the root BNH "to build" loses
the third letter of the root in the verb baniti (spelled BNYty) "I built". In this form of the verb, the H of
BNH drops and is replaced by a Yod. If you didn't know about hollow verbs, and saw the word baniti,
you might think the root was BNY, when in fact it is BNH.
Yehovah is from a Hollow Root
The name Yehovah derives from the three-letter root HYH which means "to be". Which I already
discussed at top of page. “I AM,”
The word eHYeH has all three letters of the root HYH, which may lead you to conclude that HYH is a
"whole" root. However, in other forms of the verb, the second and third letter drop, which means it
is a "hollow" root. For example, HaYiti (spelled HYYty) "I was", is missing the third letter of the root
H, and in its place, has a Yod. On the other hand, the masculine singular imperative Heveh
(pronounced Heh Vay) "be!", is missing the second letter of the root, and in its place, has a Vav. This
last piece of information is crucial, because it means in certain forms, the root looks like HVH, even
though in fact it is HYH. This can be confusing because there is an unrelated root which really is
HVH, which has an entirely different meaning from HYH.
Yehovah comes from the same root as Ehyeh: the hollow root HYH. Yehovah is actually a
combination of three verb-forms: Hayah "he was", Hoveh "he is", and Yih'yeh "he is now and will
continue to be in the future". Together Hayah, Hoveh, and Yih'yeh combine into the name Yehovah.
So how did we come up with name “YAH”
Yah is a short form of Yehovah/Yahweh It is found in Hebrew poetic literature of the Bible. The name Yeshua means “Yah is my Salvation.”
Matthew 1:21-22 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name “Yeshua” because he will save his people from their sins." His name is “Salvation.” But I lean more toward the name in another translation,“Yahushua” which also means salvation and deliverer, in my opinion the latter is more provable because of the YAH in the name.
“Yah” is short the true God's name was written in paleo-Hebrew as (יהוה in block script), transliterated as YHVH which the people’s modern consensus has transcribed this as YHWH, Yahweh. {short form of name also Yah}

gods
For even if there are so-called gods, whether in Heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), yet for us there is one GOD, the Father, of whom are all things, and for Him we live; with one Master Yeshua the Messiah, through whom are all things, and through whom we live. 1 Cor 8:5-6
The term “God” is indeed a title, not a specific name.
In Hebrew, it’s represented by the word “Elohim,” which refers to a category of being (deity) rather than a unique name. Just like “human” is a category of being but not a name, “God” serves as a reverential title for the Supreme Being. Interestingly, the Bible introduces God by a specific name during the exodus event when Moses and Aaron deliver Israel from slavery in Egypt {I AM}. So, while people commonly use “God,” it’s essential to recognize that it’s not a personal name but a title of reverence.
Same with “Lord” it is another title used to address God in various religious contexts. In the Bible, it’s often associated with the Hebrew word “Adonai,” which signifies authority, sovereignty, and reverence. And in the Bible, people use the title “LORD” {all caps} is also used to refer to Jesus (Yeshua / Yahushua) in the New Testament, emphasizing His divine nature and role as the as the Messiah.
In the New Testament, the word usually translated as “Lord” is kurios. This word is used for people (as in “master”) and for God. Kurios is a respectful title, something like “sir” in English. It is used for someone with power and authority, like a king or master. When used for “Yahusha / Yeshua”, it carried the idea of “Messiah” and ruler of the universe.
OK, on a personal note.
It seems like I am under attacked my most people those who identify themselves as Christians because I want to use the Hebrew names of my Father and Savior and Comforter. And when I do use those names, people ask and I will tell them, I get a lot of different responses sometimes it's like, that's cool, I didn't know that, sometimes it's like ‘well. I am not going to use the name “very sternly” and here lately I have gotten “ohh” that name makes me so uncomfortable. My thoughts on the matter are why would the name of my savior make you uncomfortable no matter what language I speak it in? I do not get that one. I know with anything new people usually have issues.
But the issues are so bad, somebody once wrote me what was so wrong with the name Christ, that I could not use Christ. The thing about it was I had “Warriors for Christ” written in the title, which told ,First the person didn’t even look at my page, and second it wasn't about anything other than I was saying the names different than she wan of my “I AM” different. She never even read anything she just went was something she felt safe with I never asked them to use Yah, Yeshua or Ruach Ha Kodesh, the Father “I AM,” Jesus and Holy Spirit. But however they are offended without justification, it was just because it was different from what they were used to hearing. Ohh, you get it on every side, some people are very extreme on the names I have been accused of being in a cult. Because I say something like my Gods name along with His title, different. And the other thing is they do not want me to use the names of my Father Yah, or Yeshua, again because it makes them uncomfortable. And I've noticed people are always afraid of something different mainly because they don't study for their self, they just go by what somebody else says, and usually that somebody else that they're listening to hasn't studied it either they're just listening to another person that's just listen to someone else's fears. When all they'd have to do is study it out, then they don't understand there's not a issue anyway, people just made it into one.
BUT WHY
While I do use the Hebrew names for the true and living God - Yah, my Father, my Salvation (Yeshua), and Ruach (Spirit) - it brings me great joy. At present, I do not believe it is necessary to replace the English names with the Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Arabic, or any other language variants. I also do not believe that anyone is mandated to use the Hebrew name. However, I do believe it is of paramount importance to clearly specify which God we are referencing, particularly in the present day and age. Therefore, I would recommend designating the children of Yah as "Father's Yah's Children." I observed that whenever Yah introduced Himself, He would address His title along with His identity, such as "I AM" or "I am the God of Jacob, the God of Abraham," making it truly clear which God was speaking to them. It is worth considering why He did so. Upon studying this, it becomes apparent that there are many false gods and people pretending to be gods. Even in biblical times, there were those who referred to the "unknown God," indicating that they did not know His name but recognized His unmatched power and care for His followers. Consider the case of Jonah's God - even though they did not know His name, they were referring to the true and living God, Yah. When Jonah identified Yah as his God, it immediately caught their attention. This is evident in their decision to change course and throw Jonah into the ocean.
I strive to ensure that my God is not confused with any false gods. I personally identify my God by using His name, just as the Father did by associating His name with His title. Various religions claim evil as good using the title of Christian God, causing confusion, permitting them to break commandments, harm others, and engage in all manners of evil. Nevertheless, Yeshua explicitly states that such actions are unacceptable. Worshipping idols is unacceptable, as His word dictates that only one should be called father – YAH. Furthermore, it is unacceptable for someone in a position of authority to claim that Yah approves of sinful lifestyles, especially when He has plainly stated otherwise.
Many individuals have diverse beliefs and are free to serve the god of their choosing. However, as children of Yah, it is imperative for us to recognize that when there is no differentiation, we are all categorized together – be it Christians, Protestants, Catholics, Muslims, Satanists, or practitioners of Baal – as they all identify as "god," which effectively groups us all together. Personally, I hold the belief that by not articulating the name of my Yah, we inadvertently assume a false identity in which there is no distinction among them. When we simply refer to "God," individuals only perceive the god they are familiar with, assuming that we worship the same deity, until we clarify that our God has a specific name and may not be the same one they serve.
