This is the truth:

"The name of God, as revealed in the Hebrew Scriptures, is YHWH (the closest English equivalents to the Hebrew letters). Ancient Hebrew did not have vowels, so the exact pronunciation of YHWH is uncertain. The vast majority of Hebrew and Christian scholars believe the name to be Yahweh, pronounced /ˈyä-wā/, with Yehowah, pronounced /yi-ˈhō-və/, being the second most popular possibility."

And this is also the truth:

"There are movements that strongly emphasize using God’s name (and, of course, only the name of God that they believe to be correct). However, there are no biblical prohibitions against using God’s name, nor are there commands that we must do so. Anyone who says that God must be addressed only by His name, YHWH, is speaking without biblical warrant."

From: What is the name of God?
The Name was pronounced at the Temple when it stood. There can not be 2 or more "possibilities".

take advice from dreams or other such experiences.
it could also be bad to ignore dreams?
hadn't the LORD Used joseph to interpret dreams as he did for the Pharaoh they would've all died?
Imagine what would've happened hadn't Daniel been used for the same as he was?
Or what if anyone who had prophesized for the LORD hadn't done so?
I'd hate to think where I'd be if the above mentioned Dreams and visions hadn't occurred.
So very glad Noah had them

I simply don't believe one should take advice from dreams or other such experiences. I think that's very dangerous. So I can not in good conscience encourage you to go with that.

Thanks for the concern but it was not a dream or a hallucination. Unfortunately, the majority of believers have too much doubt of the power of God and instead, either lean on their own understanding or they see satan as more powerful supernaturally (which is false). All the glory belongs to God.

Vowels were not written but pronounced orally and passed down as far as I've researched. What is to say the true pronunciation wasn't lost or altered between ancient and modern times.

Yes and no, but there ARE some that we can discount because of issues with how Hebrew is used and more importantly how it isn't...

Yes and no.
I somehow doubt that very much, considering who the god of this world is. But you believe what you want to... like I said, the name makes no difference because God can see the heart and knows whom we serve.

You edited what you wrote. And in answer to that edit I still think it's possible the pronunciation was lost between ancient and modern times, considering vowels weren't written but passed down orally. And if the biblical stories are to be believed (which I believe to be true), Israel came under slavery and who knows how difficult that must have been to continue to serve YHWH under such circumstances.

Well without the Temple, yes it was. However, as we know, just after 70 AD, much of this was transferred and a halakhic school was formed by Yohanan ben Zakkai...now regarding Shem Ha Mephorash, there are hints if you know where to look...

I have no need to look. It's already been confirmed for me. But we all have to come to understanding within ourselves via the Holy Spirits prompting and I'm glad it's not a necessity to know it for salvation, but I shared the recent videos because I was happy and love God (Yah) :clap:

Does any one have any insight on this?

Is Jesus' Hebrew name (Yeshua) pronounced:
ye-shew-a or ya-hoo-a?
(I know what the latter looks like, bare with me).

What does the second pronunciation mean, if it's not the most used?

If any one can give me something besides a copy-and-paste answer, maybe personal revelation? that would be nice..
You have presented misrepresentations of two different names. Neither pronunciation is correct.

Ya-hoo-a - YHWH.

This is the name of our heavenly father.

Y makes the 'ee" sound. H is H. That give us the 'oow' sound.

There emphasis on the H, not on the W; and his name is pronounced more as two syllable.

Yah-hwah

Ps 106:48
Blessed be YHWH, Elohim of Israel, From the eon and until the eon. Then all the people will say, Amen. Praise Yah!

I didn't emphasise the W either. However, scholars can continue debating as much as they like, I know what the Heavenly Father spoke. :wave:

YaH is not a theophoric prefix in Hebrew
Maybe not in some dialects of Modern Hebrew; but I don't put much stock in Yiddish, nor the Masoretes.

Do you have any idea why they blotted out a letter from Messiah's name?

Yah-hwah
For clarification, the pronunciation I heard was "Yah-who-ah" 3 syllables, but emphasis on the middle "hoo" like expelled breath. I know everyone thinks I'm a crazy person and that's completely fine, I just pray everyone will know too one day. :prayer:

Also, I don't use the name... I still say "God" like I always have since I was a kid, talking to the heavenly Father.. he still answers prayer :amen:

It may be possible that Jesus' name was pronounced differently between Aramaic and Hebrew, and probably different in the Galilean dialect than that of among the Judean and Hellenistic Jews.

I prefer Joshua, though. Jesus originates from the old Latin 'Iesus', but Joshua is the angelized equivalence of the actual Hebrew/Aramaic. It would be interesting to read, "Joshua, the anointed."

Has anyone considered looking at the pronunciation of names and words in the Bible that contain parts of His Name?

For instance , Elijah --- Eliyahu

Hallelujah -----Halleluyah
Some don't realise that the English "John" contains part of his name in Hebrew: Yeho-chanan ("Lord is gracious").

I'm not one of them, a close relative is named that. :) Though we don't usually pronounce with the 'o'.

Yochanan is usually what we use.

There are many more out there.

The thread was since updated after the OP.
