Why the Name Matters: From "Lord" to YAHUAH

Why the Name Matters

Most of us were handed Bibles where the true Name of the Father — YAHUAH — was replaced with a title: LORD.

If the enemy went that hard to bury it, it’s a big deal.

“And they that know Your Name will put their trust in You.”

— Tehillim (Psalm) 9:10

You can’t fully trust who you don’t truly know.

How We Lost the Name

Throughout most English Bibles:

• YHWH (יהוה) became LORD (in all caps)

• Tradition said the Name was “too holy” to pronounce

• Human fear and religious control replaced revelation

By the time many of us were born:

• We thought “God” was a name

• We thought “Lord” was enough

• We never questioned why the Hebrew Name vanished

But the prophets didn’t play that game.

“My people shall know My Name…”

— Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 52:6

YAHUAH and YAHUSHA — Names With Purpose

• YAHUAH – “He who exists / the Self-Existent One,” the covenant Elohiym of Israel

• YAHUSHA – “YAHUAH is salvation,” the Name of the Mashiach

These Names:

• Tie directly to covenant

• Reveal His character and mission

• Expose the counterfeit images religion built

“Jesus” became a brand. YAHUSHA takes us back to the Hebrew reality.

Why the Enemy Hates the Name

The Name:

• Marks covenant people

• Separates YAHUAH from idols

• Carries authority in spiritual warfare

No wonder Babylon loves generic titles.

Generic titles allow:

• A generic god

• A generic gospel

• A generic jesus that never confronts sin, systems, or lies

The remnant is not worshiping “a higher power.” We call on YAHUAH and bow to YAHUSHA.

Is This About Legalism? No — It’s About Honor

You’re not “unsaved” because you didn’t know His Name. Many of us came to faith in ignorance.

But once you see truth:

• Honor demands response

• Love adjusts language

• Reverence changes how we speak

You’ll never unlearn that He has a Name and He revealed it.

How to Start Returning to the Name

1. Pray Using the Name

• “YAHUAH, I thank You…”

• “In the Name of YAHUSHA HA’MASHIACH…”

1. Read Restored Name Translations

• Use resources that restore YHWH instead of hiding Him behind “LORD.”

1. Teach Your Household

• Explain to your children why the Name matters.

1. Stay Humble and Patient With Others

• You were once where they are

• Share truth with grace, not arrogance

The Call to the Remnant

In the last days, YAHUAH is restoring:

• Identity

• Covenant

• Name

“For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same My Name shall be great among the nations.”

— Mal’aki (Malachi) 1:11

If you’re part of the remnant, you won’t be ashamed to say His Name.

Return to YAHUAH. Exalt YAHUSHA. Let the Name be great again — starting in your own mouth.
