Yahshua is our Messiah's name

The actual vowels being used are what were recorded and what scholars have taken lifetimes to understand. You do not have any insights that will change this. E-class vowels were in active use during Christ's time here on earth, and one of them is in his name.

There were no Rabbis – as we know them – during that vowel shift, just as there were no Rabbis – as we know them – during the Canaanite vowel shift either. That was far too early. What caused the shift was the sum total of speakers.

The Jewish Encyclopedia of 1901, Volume 12, page 119, states.
It thus becomes possible to determine with a fair degree of certainty the historical
pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton, the results agreeing with the statement of Ex. iii.
14, in which YAHWEH terms Himself hyha. "I will be", a phrase which is immediately
proceeded by the fuller term "I will be that I will be," or, as in the English versions, "I
am" and "I am that I am." The name hwhy is accordingly derived from the root
hwh(=hyh), and is regarded as an imperfect. This passage is decisive for the
pronunciation "Yahweh"; for the etymology was undoubtedly based on the known word.

The Encyclopedia Judaica, Volume 7, page 680, further states this fact.
The true pronunciation of the name YAHWEH was never lost. Several early Greek
writers of the Christian Church testify that the name was pronounced "Yahweh". This is
confirmed, at least for the vowel of the first syllable of the name, by the shorter form
Yah, which is sometimes used in poetry (e.g., Ex. 15:2) and the -yahu or -yah that serves
as the final syllable in very many Hebrew names.
The Encyclopedia Britanica, Volume 23, page 867, confirms this fact.

The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, Volume 9, page 160

"Of the names of God in the Old Testament, that which occurs most frequently (6,823
times) is the so-called Tetragrammaton, YAHWEH (hwhy), the distinctive personal name
of the God of Israel".

The Jewish Encyclopedia Volume 12, pages 118-119

"TETRAGRAMMATON: The quadriliteral name of God, (hwhy). The Tetragrammaton is the ancient Israelitish name for God"

The Jewish Encyclopedia, Volume 9, pages 162-163
:
...The Rabbis as well as the cabalists steadfastly maintained their belief in monotheism.
Hence they recognized only one proper name for the Deity, considering the other names
as appellations or titles signifying divinity, perfection, and power, or as characterizing
His acts as observed and appreciated by mankind...The name YAHWEH is considered as
the Name proper; it was known in the earliest rabbinical works simply as the Name; also
as Shem ha-Meyuhad ("the Extraordinary Name"; Sifre, Num. 143): as Shem haMeforash ("the Distinguished Name"; Yoma vi. 2); as Shem ben The Name. Arba'
Otiyyot ("the Tetra-grammaton" or "the Quadrilateral Name"; Kid 71a); and as Yod He
Waw He (spelling letters of YAHWEH).

Why don't you simply write a book about it and submit it for peer review by academic linguists, then we will know what the academic world make of your gathered views. These regular debates on the same issue are proving nothing at all, at best it just goes round in circles all the time

Heber is more referring to a bunch of people who have dedicated their lives to read, write, and speak the languages in question from the appropriate eras, and who are accepted as respected, well-established experts in their field?

You know, people who actually have the knowledge and experience necessary to weight the merits of your hypothesis?
