You will find YHWH and Y'SHUA over 1000 times in the BIBLE if
you can find one in HEBREW.

The name of Jesus is above all names. He sets on the right hand of the Farther.
Y'shua, I can't find this name anywhere in the NT.

Yahu, We now live in the dispensation, of the Spirit [grace] the NT. Not under
the law of the OT. We can learn from the OT.
You say it is hopeless to understand, Revelation. Now let us go to Revelation,
22:19,And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of prophecy,
God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city,
and from the things which are written in this book.
Yah's law is eternal. He hasn't changed. Yes the sacrificial law has been fulfilled but there will still be daily sacrifices even during the millennial kingdom. No we are not the nation of Israel so much of it doesn't apply to us today but the morality of the law is still just as valid today. Violations of His law that carry a death penalty still puts your life at risk. I have personally seen witchcraft kill those that used it in violation to Yah's law.

The NT put even higher standards on us then the OT law. Not only is adultery forbidden but secretly lusting in your heart after a married woman was added on top making it an even HIGHER standard of behavior for moral issues.

I didn't say it was hopeless to understand Revelation. I said it was hopeless to understand without adding in all the additional pieces of the puzzle added by the OT. The book of Revelation does not stand alone but builds upon earlier prophecies scattered throughout the OT.

Your posted scripture is meaningless to this discussion. No one is suggesting taking away from the words of the book.

Here is a simple example. The Rev 2 letter to Philadelphia references the 'key of David'. You have to be familiar with the 'key to the house of David' from a passage starting in Isa 22:22 to get greater detail to the error in the church of Philidelphia to gain the overcomers reward.

Re 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

Isa 22:22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

They are linked passages and Isaiah gives more detail as to why Yeshua opens the door and invites the church at Philidelphia inside. There are LINKED verses all throughout Revelation to passages in the OT.

A NT only view is pointless for any serious biblical student.

You are looking in the wrong version.
Find one that does not anglicize the names.

The work of the prophets has finished, we can learn from the mistakes of those
in the OT.
Which of the OT prophets made mistakes?

I use only the, KJV reason, the man that translated this version was a martyr
for Christ. Do you know of any other version, where the translator became
a martyr for Christ?

I did not know William Shakespeare was a martyr. (he was one of the translators)

I would suggest you study Hebrew and Greek and use those.

I haven't had time to read the entire thread here, but in response to a portion of the postings regarding marriage between a Christian and a non-believer, Paul specifically addresses this issue in his letter to the church in Corinth:
2 Corinthians 6:14 (NIV) - "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" The passage continues in the same narrative, expounding on the problems involved. Working with hundreds of women both as a counselor and pastor's wife, I have yet to see one example of a husband successfully brought to the Lord after a marriage, when the woman determines that she can "lead him to the cross" after they are married. They may put on a good front for several months or even a couple of years, but genuine change comes from a heart touched by God through Christ, not a spouse's wooing or pleading.
If both are not believers at the time they get married, they should not be married.

William Shakespeare, was not the translator of the BIBLE into English.
There was a whole group that translated the KJV.
Shakespeare petitioned King James to do the whole thing as couplets (like his plays) but was told no. He was on the team and translated at least a few of the Psalms.

He actually hid his name in Psalm 46. excluding all "selahs;"
Count 46 words from the front and you will find "shake."
Count 46 words from the end and you will find "spear."

Biblical [covenant] marriages are for life. The covenant was made between God
and the person getting married. I might add, they both can be converted to
Christianity after marriage, or the husband or wife can convert the other one.
This happens many times and this is good.
