The Great And Awesome Name Of Yahweh

For years, those who hate what Yahweh's Name stands for, which is His 613 Perfect Laws, have tried to falsify Yahweh's Laws and remove His Name from the entire Scriptures.

Yahweh is the Name of the Creator of heaven and earth. Yahweh is not a god or a lord. He is shown to be, in all the original Inspired Scriptures, the Heavenly Father, whose Name is Yahweh. In fact, that is the way the Savior shows we should pray.
Mattithyah 6:9—
After this manner; example and general outline, you should pray: Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed is Your Name.

I would like to bring two Scriptures to your attention. The first one is the famous 23rd Psalm. Notice first the King James Version.
Psalm 23:1-6, KJV—
THE LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff thy comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

The New International Version Interlinear Hebrew-English Old Testament by John Kohlenberger III. Hebrew reads from right to left.
  Psalm 23:1-6, NIV—

This shows plainly the Name by which Yahweh's Work was known, and will be known throughout all eternity. So when Yahweh's Prophets say go to the place:
Deuteronomy 12:5, 7-8, 11—
5 But you are to seek the habitation of your Father; The House of Yahweh—the place which Yahweh your Father shall choose out of all your tribes to establish His Name—and there you must go.
7 There, in front of Yahweh your Father, you and your families shall eat, and you shall rejoice in all that you have put your hand to do, because Yahweh your Father has blessed you.
8 You must not at all do as we are doing here this day—every man doing whatever is right in his own eyes—
11 Then there will be a place Yahweh will choose to establish His Name; and there you will bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice things you have vowed to Yahweh.

Remember, the Savior's Words and you can't be deceived.
Luke 24:25—
Then He said to them: O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken!

Notice the archeological finds dating back to the temple of King Solomon. The first of these archeological findings was discovered during excavations in Arad, Israel that took place during the 1960s and 1970s. Fragments of pottery were found at an Israelite sanctuary which dated back to the days of King Solomon. Inscribed in Hebrew on one of these is a reference to the "House of Yahweh." This was reported in The Jerusalem Post in an article entitled "Unearthing the Land" which appeared June 29,1973. Here is an excerpt from that article and a fragment of the pottery.

Mostly used for business transactions, these humble documents are a mine of historic information. At Arad, excavated by Yohanan Aharoni, reference is made to a "House of YHWH".

Here are two examples of Yahweh's Name in ancient copies of the Septuagint. The Septuagint is a 3rd to 2nd Century b.c.e. Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures. The fragments shown below are evidence that the Septuagint originally contained the name Yahweh.

The first is an ancient fragment of the Septuagint dated between 50 b.c.e. and 50 c.e. (a.d.). If this dating is correct, it would have been written near the time of the Savior's ministry. Yahweh's Name is indicated with the large black arrow.

Notice that Yahweh is written in the ancient Hebrew (Paleo-Hebrew) script. Here is another example of an ancient fragment of the Septuagint dating to the First Century c.e. (a.d.). This fragment contains parts of Yahshub (Job) Chapter 42.

Another find was the very oldest Scriptural text ever found, dating back almost 2,600 years. This was found in a tiny silver amulet which contained a Seventh Century b.c.e. extract from the Book of Numbers (6:24-26), the Priestly Blessing. The rolled up amulet was part of a treasure hoard found by a Tel Aviv University archeologist in a First Temple Period family tomb in Jerusalem, Israel. When this amulet was written, the Temple of Solomon still stood, the heirs of King David still ruled on the throne, and the Dead Sea Scrolls would not be written for another four hundred years.

It was three years after its discovery before this fragile amulet could be unrolled by technical experts at the Israeli Museum. On this amulet the Name of Yahweh could be clearly read in the original Hebrew language. Complete details of this magnificent find can be read in the June 28, 1986 and the August 9, 1986 issues of The Jerusalem Post, and the June, 1987 issue of The Readers Digest.

The Name of Yahweh Engraved On An Ivory Pomegranate Decoration
Biblical Archaeology Review, Jan.-Feb. 1990, p. 49
"BAR recently published a beautiful carved ivory pomegranate with an important inscription on it. As partially reconstructed, the engraved inscription around the neck of the pomegranate reads as follows:  "Belonging to the House of Yahweh Holy to the Priests." Based on this reading, many scholars have concluded that the ivory pomegranate originally came from the Jerusalem Temple constructed by King Solomon."

Three-shekel Receipt Provides Evidence Of King Solomon's Temple
November 3, 1997
NEW YORK (AP) — Talk about holding on to a receipt.
A recently discovered piece of pottery recording a donation to the "House of Yahweh" may contain the oldest mention outside the Bible of King Solomon's Temple.
   The 3½-by-4-inch artifact is nearly 3,000 years old, dating to a time when kings sent messages inscribed on pottery.

Yahweh's Name In The Dead Sea Scrolls

The following is a photo of Psalms 119:59-64 in the Dead Sea Scrolls which are a collection of Hebrew Scriptures that date back over 2000 years. Note Yahweh's Name, indicated by the arrow, in the ancient Hebrew script while the rest of the text is in more modern Hebrew used at that time.

The Encyclopedia Judaica, 1972, Volume 7, Page 680, states emphatically that the pronunciation of Yahweh's Name has never been lost:
"The true pronunciation of the name YHWH was never lost. Several early Greek writers of the Christian Church testify that the Name was pronounced 'Yahweh'."

All of the proof in the world says the same thing. The Creator's Name is Yahweh and the Name of His Work is The House of Yahweh.
