Many people are waiting and watching for what is already here and actively deceiving the world! The greatest deception of the antichrist (or anti-messiah) is to fool people into thinking that it is not already in the world—even while it is working to destroy the truth about the Messiah.
Today, many call the Messiah by the name “Jesus”—but did you know that this wasn’t the Name that He was called by His parents or those who walked with Him over 2,000 years ago. His Name is YAHUSHUA (written in modern Hebrew as: יְהוֹשֻׁעַ or יְהוֹשׁוּעַ – the text being read from right to left).
One of the deceptions of the antichrist is that it has caused many to lose knowledge of the Hebrew Name given by Gabrı̂y’al (גַּבְרִיאֵל), the messenger of YAHUAH Most High who appeared to the Messiah’s mother Maryam (מִרְיָם) and decreed by the Word of YAHUAH that His Name shall be called YAHUSHUA—“for He shall save His people from their sins!”
The very name—YAHUSHUA—means YAHUAH saves. YAHUAH (יהוה or 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 ) is the Name of the Father.
We have but one Saviour, one Alahym, whose masterplan was established from the foundation of the world. No one can thwart this plan—no matter how hard they try!!! The Name of the Messiah epitomizes the very purpose of His birth and ministry—to save us from our sins so we could be reconciled to the Father and Creator!
“And there is no deliverance in anyone else, for there is no other Name under the heaven given among men by which we need to be saved.”
The Prophesied Saviour
MattitYahu disclosed another piece of the puzzle, revealing that the Messiah is really YAH with us—עִמָּנוּאֵל or ‛immânû’al:
‘And all this came to be in order to fill what was spoken by יהוה through the prophet, saying, “See, an ‘almah’ shall conceive, and she shall give birth to a Son, and they shall call His Name Immanu’al, ” which translated, means, “Al with us.”’
Note: An almah is a “virgin / young woman.”
The Anti-Messiah Hates the Messiah’s Very Name
Act 5:27-28 shows that the antichrist system forbade the early believers to “teach in this Name.”
‘And having brought them, they set them before the council and the high priest asked them, saying, “Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this Name? And look, you have filled Yarushalayim with your teaching, and intend to bring the blood of this Man upon us!”’
Today, there is another name that is more widely accepted, even by the political and religious establishments that run the world. Have you ever stopped to think why this is? Messiah rightly prophesied about this:
‘“I have come in My Father’s Name and you do not receive Me, if another comes in his own name, him you would receive.’
Jesus is a more recent version of the Name, which came into use roughly 500 years ago. The act of changing the name by which people call the Messiah is one tactic of the antichrist as it continues to deceive the world. We give praise to the Most High 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH) that He has exposed the works of the anti-messiah, and He has been teaching His children the proper names of the Father and the Son: YAHUAH and YAHUSHUA, as He continues to lead us into ALL the truth!
The Anti-Messiah Hates Those who Love the True Messiah and Keep His Commands
All through the ages, the enemy has persecuted the people of YAH. Persecution does not just come in the form we expect; persecution can come in the form of spiritual interference in the life of YAH’s people, which may manifest as financial problems, family strife, health issues, etc. A perfect example of this kind of persecution is the case of Iyob (called Job).
Satan hated the fact that Iyob was a devoted servant of YAHUAH, and his principal aim was to get Iyob to lose his crown—the blessings of the life devoted to YAHUAH. Satan wanted Iyob to break his allegiance to YAHUAH. The Father allowed Satan to try Iyob, as through this experience YAH would prove Iyob as a true servant but also strengthen Iyob spiritually to take an even higher place in the eternal kingdom, as a reward for his faithfulness! YAH knew exactly what He was doing, and His end goal was to work everything out for Iyob’s good!
The Final Persecution
Fast-forward to the book of Ḥazon (Revelation) we see the enemy of YAHUAH’s people going after the remnant—those who keep the commands of YAHUAH and who bear the witness of YAHUSHUA. Satan goes to great lengths to get people to obey and worship him in place YAHUAH, and his final attempt is instituting and fully implementing the death threat for those who refuse to receive the Mark of the Beast. This evil mark is the evidence of allegiance to the anti-messiah system, which is a political and religious alliance, built upon idolatrous worship and sorcery and controlled by Satan.
‘“And they overcame him because of the Blood of the Lamb, and because of the Word of their witness, and they did not love their lives to the death. Because of this rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.”
And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.’
‘And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the commands of Alahym and possessing the witness of יהושע Messiah.’
The First Sign of the End of the Age
Our Messiah warned that we should take heed that no one deceives us by presenting another messiah as Him. This means revering another savior that appears to be Him, but who really isn’t. Many people are waiting for a man to step up and claim that he is “Jesus,” but there are several other ways that people have already fallen under the spell of the antichrist. This can happen if we revere false images people profess to be “Christ,” whether in the form of statues, pictures, or personas that we are told are those of the Messiah.
For example, if someone teaches a “Christ” that keeps a different weekly Sabbath than YAHUAH’s 7th day Sabbath, eats pork ham and other unclean foods, was born on December 25th, teaches that the Messiah did away with the laws of the Torah by nailing them to the “cross,” so we do not have to keep them, this false persona is the epitome of the antichrist and comes from him! Be careful that you’re not already following this persona rather than the True Messiah.
WHAT IS A PERSONA?
— Cambridge Dictionary
A persona is “the particular type of character that a person seems to have and that is often different from their real or private character.”
Messiah’s Warnings
‘And as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the taught ones came to Him separately, saying, “Say to us, when shall this be, and what is the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
And יהושע answering, said to them, “Take heed that no one leads you astray. For many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they shall lead many astray.’
Following the false persona of Christ could sabotage your efforts to enter into the eternal kingdom of YAH, which is just what Satan wants to do to you through his anti-messiah system:
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to complete. For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one ‘yod’ [referring to the smallest letter of the Hebrew alphabet] or one tittle [referring to special characters in the Hebrew writings] shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.
“Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens.
“For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the reign of the heavens.’”
4 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ANTICHRIST
- Tells lies and deceives
- Denies the Messiah
- Denies the Father and the Son
- Doesn’t confess that the Messiah has come in the flesh
If we know the true names, then we can counter the strategies of the anti-messiah, which has been working throughout the ages to suppress the true names. For example, the true name of the Father has been replaced in most English translations of the Scriptures with “the LORD.” Note the many instances where this appears in full capital letters in the Scriptures, because they have been deliberately suppressing the true Names of the Father and the Son.
Suppressing the Name violates the Third Command
Most English translations will use “the LORD” as the Name. However, note the number beside “the LORD,” in this King James Version text above. This shows the Strong’s Concordance number for the word from which the English text was translated. In this case, “the LORD” links back to H3068, which we can see was written with four letters in Hebrew—and those four letters are not L-O-R-D!
Although the Concordance text above uses letters “J” and “V,” in Hebrew, these letters are actually “Y” and “U.” So the four Hebrew letters are actually Y-H-U-H, spelt out in full as YAHUAH, with the vowels added.
Search for Yourself
Note the number of occurrences in the King James Version, the version to which the Strong’s Concordance is linked in the e-Sword app we use for this research. The full form appears in the pre-Messianic books over 6,500 times. Yet, the true Name has been supplanted by the generic title: “The LORD.”
The short form of the Name of the Father is YAH, H3050. Note that many of the names in the Scripture, especially some key prophets, end in “iah:” Isaiah, Jeremiah, Obadiah, Zechariah, Zephaniah, etc.
The King James text retains JAH in one place: Psalm 68:4.
His Praises Have Endured Through the Ages
Many Christians still unknowingly call upon YAH when they say “Alleluia,” a compound word which is a modern English form of the Hebrew words “Halal” + “YAH,” meaning “Praise YAH!” Yes, many who use the excuse: “We don’t speak Hebrew,” for why they think it doesn’t matter if people use LORD or YAHUAH actually use these Hebrew words and the short form of the Creator’s in praise and worship!
Using the e-Sword app and KJV+ version of the Scriptures, we see the truth behind the English text:
Everything that is unfolding with the revival of the set-apart Name of our Father fulfills His very word!
‘“Therefore My people shall know My Name, in that day, for I am the One who is speaking. See, it is I.”’
A Personal Choice: Obey or Ignore!
The Father will not condemn those who innocently call him LORD or who call His Son Jesus because they honestly think and believe that these are the Names to use. Many who have received the knowledge of the truth (of the Names) used to do so. When they acted innocently but ignorantly (not knowing the truth) the Father heard them, because He knows the heart!
However, when the truth comes to us, we open our hearts to receive, obey the revealed truth, and stand in it!
The antichrist hates this, but if we are for the true Messiah, we will hear what the Spirit is saying to the Body of Messiah and humbly align ourselves with the Father’s truth in love!
Final thoughts
Little children, it is the last hour. And as you have heard that the anti-messiah is coming, even now many anti-messiahs have come. This is how we know that it is the last hour… Who is the liar, except the one denying that יהושע is the Messiah? This is the anti-messiah, the one denying the Father and the Son.
By this you know the Spirit of Alahym: Every spirit that confesses that יהושע Messiah has come in the flesh is of Alahym, and every spirit that does not confess that יהושע Messiah has come in the flesh is not of Alahym. And this is the spirit of the anti-messiah which you heard is coming, and now is already in the world.
Because many who are leading astray went out into the world who do not confess יהושע Messiah as coming in the flesh. This one is he who is leading astray and the anti-messiah.
CONFESS THE SON AND BE SAVED!
‘That if you confess with your mouth the Master יהושע and believe in your heart that Alahym has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.’
