The Sacred Scriptures - 29th Special Edition (Part 1/4)

A Love Letter for You!

A guide to eternal life: God’s Word. Patience, hope, confidence and security to all readers searching their way and believing in the one who walked along in front of them. Who is it? “THE SON OF GOD!” He revealed his glory taking the shame of our sins, our debts, our injustice, our lawlessness and paid the high price with his blood so that we may live eternally {if we wish to do so} and accept his sacrifice. Himself he calls us brothers and sisters, those who love Him and stick by His commandments, the precepts of his Father. (John 17:24, Matthew 12:48-49; Mark 3:33-34; Luke 8:20-21)

Shortly before the end of the grace period and the second coming of the Messiah, this work appears to honor and glorify the Almighty, living and only God, the Father. Over 7,000 times His name was mentioned in the Tanakh (Old Testament), however he completely disappeared from our translations, but the name “Satan” remained unchanged in the Scriptures.

Also in public the vast majority of people do not know the God of the Bible, much less his name. However, the name “Satan” is well known to all people. Satan does not care about the sequence of letters in his name or with which other letters or words his name is combined. The main thing is that he is either consciously or unconsciously worshipped and admired by people (for example Titan, Santa, Santa Claus, etc. - written differently depending on the language; even used with city names, such as Santa Cruz, whereby the Cross [Cruz] was transferred from paganism to Christianity).

One of many testimonies about the name of God can be found in the appendix of this works.

The name of our unique God, the Father, as called by the Israelites and how it is still written in the Bethel Bible and the Hebrew edition, is “YAHWEH.” - Deuteronomy 6:4:

“... YAHWEH is our Elohim (G-d), YAHWEH is ONE. “

YAHWEH means: “’I am’, who I am; I am he who exists, I will always exist; and all that exists, exists through me!” (see Exodus 3:14)

In Exodus 3:6 YAHWEH said to Moses: “I am the Elohim (G-d) of your father, the Elohim (G-d) of Abraham, the Elohim (G-d) of Isaac and the Elohim (G-d) of Jacob.”

YAHWEH, furthermore, said to Moses in Exodus 3:15: “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘YAHWEH, the Elohim (G-d) of your fathers, the Elohim (G-d) of Abraham, the Elohim (G-d) of Isaac, and the Elohim (G-d) of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations.”

(see also I Corinthians 8:6; 11:3; Revelation 1:4+8).

The preface of the Darby (Elberfelder) Bible of 2004 says: “The main text contains the letters YHWH, during the review the decision was made in favor of “LORD” in place of “Yahweh” (see Exodus 3:15).

In the Schlachter Version 2000 in the second footnote to Exodus 3:14 on page 63 a following notice can be found: “The Hebrew name of the God of Israel (reproduced in this translation by LORD; it probably sounded ‘ Yahweh’)...”

The preface of Hermann Menge’s translation of 1928, says: “I think special attention should be paid to following details, [point 4 in particular:

‘The Hebrew divine name Yahweh (Jehovah incorrect) has been rendered “HErr” (= German translation for Lord), different from “Herr” (German translation for Lord).’

In this present translation* the real name of God “YAHWEH” was reinstated at its old position instead of “LORD” (see Luther Bible) or “Lord”. Also here the Son of God was named “Master” and not with “Lord”. In the Hebrew Bibles, the four large letters “JHWH”, “YHWH” before 16th century, are read from right to left. These letters are provided with small hooks on the vowels serving as a kind of aid for the pronunciation of the Holy Name: YAHWEH.

* Luther Bible of 1545 and 1912 is a basis of this act.

“This, then, is how you should pray: “’Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name!” (Matthew 6:9)

Why does the name “Yahshua the Messiah” always stand next to the name “Jesus Christ”?

As for his and our Heavenly Father the Hebrew name of the Messiah was replaced by the Greek translation of Jesus Christ. This is also a peculiar fact: In reality, he was approached by his disciples with his Hebrew name “Yahshua the Messiah” [Yahshua HaMashiach] or with “Master”, “Rabbi”. Every name has a meaning in Hebrew, which is extinguished in the Greek language. Tracks are covered in Greek to wipe out the holy fundamental meaning of the name, because the name “Yahshua” contains the name of God, his father!

The translation of name Yahshua means “YAHWEH saves”. At the same time it is a shortest cry for help of a person who prays to God for help! And the Messiah means “anointed one” (see attachment).

For the Son of God was anointed when being baptized by his father:

Matthew 3:16 LUTHER = As soon as Yahshua was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of YAHWEH descending like a dove and lighting on him.

PFÄFFLIN = ... and he saw the Spirit of God hover like a dove and come down over him.

KJV + EL = And Yahshua, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the SPIRIT of YAHWEH descending like a dove, and lighting upon him;

Mark 1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him.

Luke 3:22 and (the) holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, YOU ARE MY BELOVED SON; IN YOU I AM WELL PLEASED.

John 1:32 And John bore record, saying. I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

The dove symbol originates from the Persian, Babylonian, pagan gods system and represents nothing else than: ‘Juno, the dove’.

(see the lecture: “Wine of Babylon” by Professor Walter J. Veith ‘)

In Matthew 3:16 we can directly recognize the usage of our God’s name, YAHWEH is written instead of God.

In this way the true name and the true meaning of the name “Yahshua” was abolished from people’s minds. If they knew his name and the name of his father, they would not worship or prostrate before self-staged gods or deities, would they?

Unfortunately, the facts are completely different: Almost the WHOLE CHRISTIANITY - if not even the whole humanity - is subject to this mental “dullness” {“spiritually dead as for the word of God”} and is under the domination of another spirit not coming from above. Thus the essence of our Creator God is completely shrouded to these people. They therefore have a quite different idea of the Scripture statements.

WHAT A GRAVE AND FATAL MISTAKE! Where it depends on the salvation of each individual being in the state of ignorance or unbelief and the attitude of rejection i.e. disobedience, neither recognizing the living, omnipotent God with his holy name “Yahweh”, nor his essence and his will.

Will the Christian world recognize the God of the Bible? No, they rather prefer his titles: Lord, God, Father and pray even to mortal men, who have acquired or are still trying to acquire these titles – it’s strange, very strange, without any contradiction! Is the whole of Christendom struck by spiritual blindness, as if the word of God has been pulled out of their hands? Are they no longer able to think clearly and to check the spoken word with the Holy Scripture? It looks as if Satan is about to achieve his aim. But YAHWEH Sabaoth, YAHWEH our Mighty (see the Epistle to the Romans) is aware of the future and knows that there is a small fold of people that love him, want to obey him and also follow the law, in obedience to all His commandments and the faith in Jesus. To precise it - those who believe in Yahshua, as Yahshua did in his father and how he lived.

Based on the recognition that the name of our unique God YAHWEH was removed from the Scriptures, driven by the Spirit of God, my conviction grew that the sacred name should be returned to its position in the original text. Today, an avid researcher of the Holy Scripture will still find this name in the Hebrew and Jewish Bibles, for example, in the "Sacred Scriptures - Bethel Edition" Bible.

In combination with the old King James Version (KJV), Webster and Wesley, “The Sacred Scriptures - Bethel Edition” Bible which is written in English has been selected for this present work (English and German translations), in reference to the holy name” YAHWEH “and the name of his son” Yahshua”. The translation of the Bible by Webster dated 1883 is mainly compliant with the old KJV translation. The verification of the correct names to be returned into the Holy Scripture was made in accordance with the Bethel Edition, the Hebrew Bibles, the Greek Online Bible and the Dr. Martin Luther Bible of 1545 - based on cross references from the New Testament to the Old Testament.

Below, the reader can find the Bible translations considered for this work:

Dr. Martin Luther of 1912, Dr. Martin Luther of 1866, Dr. Martin Luther of 1545, old King James Version (KJV - whereby the old spelling has replaced by modern spelling), Bethel Edition, Wesley of 1755, Webster of 1833, Hebrew Bible: Biblia Hebracia, p. IO Athiae, Ioannis Leusden, Simonis Aliorumque IO, van der Everardi Hooght; August Hahn - 1839; Hebrew and Greek Bible - online dated 2009 to 2011, New English Bible, Louis Albrecht of 1926, Hermann Menge of 1928, Elberfeld dated 1871, Schlachter of 1905, Schlachter dated 2000, Frederick Pfäfflin, DL van Ess, H. D. Stern, Zurich, Dr. de Wette, Curt Stage, Bishop Ulfilas (Wulfilas) and others as well as explanations of the verses in the following prophetic books of Scripture: the Book of “DANIEL” and the Book of “REVELATION” by our late brother and missionary Ernst Simon, the author of the Simon Bible.

Here is a quotation of the evangelist and scientist Prof. Walter J. Veith from South Africa:

“The 'Book of Daniel’ is the key to the 'Book of Revelation’!”

Any reader should study the statements made by Ernst Simon in the Book of ‘Daniel’ and the Book of ‘Revelation’, verify and think about it - also about his own short life - and finally make his decision. For God knows that a human is going to stay on Earth just very short.

Psalm 103:15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

Psalm 103:16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone; and the place of it shall know it no more.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know hat they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Furthermore it is written that:

Psalm 103:17 But the mercy of YAHWEH is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children;

Psalm 103:18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

We would like to apologize in advance to the English-speaking readers for the lack of partial translations of the declarations into English.

The most difficult task was to reintroduce the sacred name YAHWEH in the New Testament, since “L-rd” is used for both YAHWEH [for YAHWEH Elohim], the father, and for our L-rd Jesus Christ/Yahshua the Messiah [for our Master Yahshua the Messiah]. The old Bibles still contain cross-references to the Old Testament, from which it can be recognized that it is mostly the Father who is concerned. After studying the issue of Trinity and on the basis of the Holy Scripture by Dr. Martin Luther dated 1545 and the translation by Hermann Menge, I was getting clearer and clearer that in the first centuries after the death of the beloved disciple John, the system of the Doctrine of Trinity has slowly been built up and after the councils in the years 325 and 381 until 1798 any kind of resistance was restrained without remorse. This system of the human doctrine may be detected only with a preconceived body of thought when reading the Holy Scripture, i.e. be interpreted into the Holy Scripture, also the statement that Jesus Christ is God himself. So, God would have died on the cross/ torture stake and any faith would have been invalid, that is, in vain! - To put it another way: Christ, the Messiah, was only half dead, the human part died, whereas the divine part lived on. That means he was half dead! - This statement goes towards spiritualism.

An intelligent man who can see things clearly and sharply will continually take offence at this pagan human doctrine and state that the removal of the name “YAHWEH” from the Holy Scripture had the only sense to support the doctrine of the Trinity with ongoing changes (distortions) in the first centuries and represent this system as a secret. The Holy Scripture, both Old and New Testament, was developed/ raised from YAHWEH’s Spirit as an overarching, toothed, interwoven system and written down in their own words by the prophets, inspired by YAHWEH’s Spirit, who were previously chosen by YAHWEH himself. It is written:

2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation.

2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of YAHWEH spoke as they were moved by the holy Spirit.

Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See you do it not: I am your fellowservant and of your brethren that have the testimony of Yahshua: worship YAHWEH: for the testimony of Yahshua is the Spirit of prophecy.

It is curious that in the system of doctrine of the Trinity where the Holy Spirit was made to a person named “Holy Spirit”, the Father himself was even made to a SPIRITLESS GOD. For if the Holy Spirit is personalized (the Holy Spirit has done this and that) then the Father is subject to dull spiritless existence. It is strange, very strange. Still, the Holy Scripture has been written for all people by the prophets of God! The human doctrines that have been introduced since the fourth century denigrate the word YAHWEH’s in its clarity. That has been also so before the first coming of our L-rd Jesus/L-rd Yahshua in Israel occupied by the Romans, as the word of God as well as the rules to be followed by the faithful were made impossible and as tightened in the interpretation of the high scholars, the Pharisees, Sadducees, chief priests, that it was very difficult for the faithful to fulfill all these requirements. A system that had turned into a system of rule.

Quote from ‘Mark of Brazil’:

“The name YAHWEH stands for the Sabbath [Saturday, blessed and sanctified by the living God of heaven on the seventh day of creation and rising from all his works] and the Trinity [The Three-Gods-Doctrine] is Sunday!“

Since the first century many people worldwide have been denounced for their faith, persecuted and killed because they have been accepting the Holy Scripture, the Word of G-d, as the only legitimate benchmark and have distanced themselves from human teachings which are contrary to the Scriptures.

The basic principle is:

“Whoever either kills or murders a person or gives an order for murder to state institutions, special facilities, special units is a murderer: “The spirit of Satan in this human has come to its full expression!’”

“Human doctrines the implementation of which is enforced, are pervaded by the spirit of Satan!”

“Whoever smokes, takes drugs!”

Here is another remark that is not preached in the churches, like it should be:

“Whoever SMOKES, takes drugs - including ALCOHOL, abuses and corrupts his body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit [i.e. the temple of God], will be ruined by God himself.”

These people put themselves under the control of a different spirit coming from below, not from above.

I Corinthians 6:19 What? Know you not that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from YAHWEH? And you are not your own;

I Corinthians 6:20 For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify YAHWEH in your body, and in your Spirit, which are God/ Elohim (YAHWEH).

I Corinthians 3:17 If any man destroys the temple of YAHWEH, him shall YAHWEH destroy; for the temple of YAHWEH is holy, which temple you are.

Smoking tobacco.

Tobacco is a slow, treacherous, but a very vicious poison. In whatever form it is used, it has an effect on the entire body. The more it is dangerous because its effects are first slowly and barely perceivable. It excites and after that paralyzes the nerves. It weakens and befuddles the brain. Our nerves are usually attacked stronger than numbing beverages. Tobacco and its consequences are difficult to eradicate from the system. Its use awakens our thirst for strong drinks and in many cases it is the cause of drunkenness.

The use of tobacco is detrimental, costly, dirty, stains the one who uses it and harasses other people. One can come across its followers everywhere... It is unpleasant and unhealthy to stay in a railway car or a room where air is filled with alcohol and tobacco smells...

Tobacco use is doing unspeakable harm to children and young people. The unhealthy habits of past generations exert their effects on children and youth of today. Mental incapacity, physical weakness, disordered nerves, and unnatural desire are inherited from parents to their children. The same habits of the children multiply the evil and propagate it. Physical, mental and moral deterioration, which gives so much cause to concern, is in no small measure attributable to that.

Boys begin smoking tobacco at a very early age. If this becomes a habit at a time where body and mind are particularly susceptible to the consequences, the body power is undermined, the body becomes stunted, the mind is addled and the moral is poisoned...

No human needs tobacco, but countless numbers of people collapse due to the lack of means, which are rather than wasted if used.”

“Intoxicating beverages.”

~ Ephesians 5:18; Titus 2:3; Proverbs 9:4-6; 20:1; 23:20, 29-35 ~

No human hand has ever designed an accurate picture of slaveryand humiliation of the victims of intoxicating beverages. Subjugated, humiliated, they awake in a feeling of misery, they are powerless to get out of these tights; they will 'require the same again and again.'

No proof is necessary to show the severe impact of intoxication on the drinker. The befuddled, bewitched, human wrecks - souls for whom Christ died and angels cry about - are everywhere. They are the shame, the curse and the bane of the country.

Who can imagine the misery, the agony, the despair hidden in drunkards’ homes? Just think of women, often well-educated, sensitive, built-up and accustomed to a more refined way of life, who are allied with men who turned into drunkards or a demons due to drinking...

Intoxication is generated by wine, beer and cider to the same extent as by stronger drinks. The enjoyment of these beverages gives taste for stronger ones, thus resulting in drunkenness. Moderate drinking is the school where men are educated for the career of a drunkard. But the influence of these mild stimulants is so insidious that the path to drunkenness is entered before the victim even suspects any danger ...

In the Old Testament Christ gave the warning to the people of Israel: “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.” (Proverbs 20:1) ... Tea, coffee and similar beverages, tend in the same direction as alcohol, spirits and tobacco and in some cases, it is equally hard to break the habit, as it is for the drinkers to give up consuming intoxicating beverages. Those who try to give up these irritants will miss them for some time and suffer without them. But they will overcome the desire by their power of endurance no longer feeling a lack thereof. Nature may require some time to recover from the suffered injury, but you should give her a chance, and it will rise again and do its work well and willingly.

from “The Ministry of Healing” by EG White, 1907, p. 334-339, 342

Why does the German translation say “God”, in the Psalms “God [Elohim]” is added and the English translation is “Elohim” instead of “God”?

This is a problematic case. It’s about the name “Elohim.” In most Bibles the word “Elohim” is translated as “God” directly. Unfortunately this is not an accurate and correct translation. The difficulty lies in the translation from the Hebrew, Aramaic text into German, English and other languages where we deal with word-for-word translations, also as far as the word “Elohim” is concerned. However, this word has many meanings, whereby due to these options and consequential difficulties in the meaning and thus in the translation, the reader should be aware that one should leave the word “Elohim" as it is written.

For that, in German the word “God” has been preserved both in this work and in all other Bibles in order to ensure a better understanding by the seekers while reading the Scriptures.
