    Through our free book entitled "The Great falling Away" we document the original faith set down by our Messiah Yahshua and show historically how that early congregation was totally highjacked for almost 300 years ending with the rule of Constantine the Great around 325 AD. We challenge all those who consider themselves to be true believers to ask themselves which Congregation they belong to. The one by Yahshua set down in 30 ad, or the one by Constantine in 325 AD. The two are vastly different. One was a Hebrew Congregation with a Hebrew Savior that was totally Torah observant. The second was a counterfeit, lawless church sealed by the decrees of Constantine.

    B$t the 5aster season is it not uncommon for
    !hristians to attend sunrise services. It is assumed
    that such honor !hrist because He rose from the dead
    on 5aster 0unday mornin", >ust as the sun was comin"
    up. ,ut the resurrection did not actually occur at
    sunrise, for it was yet dar? when )ary )a"dalene
    came to the tomb and it was already empty. @n the
    other hand, there was a type of sunrise service that
    was part of ancient sun worship. %ites with the
    dawnin" sun / in one form or another / have been
    ?nown amon" many ancient nations. .he sphinA in
    5"ypt was located so as to face the east. 7rom mount
    7u>i / Bama in Japan were prayers made to the risin"
    of the sun. .he pa"an )ithrists of %ome met to"ether
    at dawn in honor of the sun / "od. .he "oddess of
    sprin", from whose name our word "5aster" comes
    from, was associated with the sun risin" in the east.
    5ven as the word east/5% would imply. .hus the
    dawn of the sun in the east, the name 5aster and the
    sprin" season are all connected.

    $ccordin" to the old le"ends, after .ammuC was
    slain, he descended into the underworld. ,ut throu"h
    the weepin" of his "mother," Ishtar (5aster), he was
    mystically revived in sprin". ".he resurrection of
    .ammuC throu"h Ishtar4s "rief was dramatically
    represented annually in order to insure the success of
    the crops and the fertility of the people. 5ach year men
    and women had to "rieve with Ishtar over the death of
    .ammuC and celebrate the "od4s return in order to win

    22
    anew her favor and her benefitsD" 6hen the new
    ve"etation be"an to come forth, those ancient people
    believed their "savior" had come from the underworld,
    had ended winter, and caused sprin" to be"in. 5ven
    the Israelites adopted the doctrines and rites of the
    annual pa"an sprin" festival, for 5Ce?iel spea?s of

    powerful or"aniCation that would "!hristianiCe" the word.
    His true !hurch was to remain a "little floc?" (3uke 12:32.
    Its continuity would be measured, not by a succession of
    proud, powerful presidin" bishops in a particular city (cf. &eb
    13:11), but by a succession of a faithful, converted people
    who, thou"h scattered and persecuted, continued to worship
    the 7ather in spirit and in truth (0ohn 1:23-21. .here would
    be times when God would raise up faithful leaders to
    revitaliCe His people and do some sort of wor? that had public
    visibility, at least in localiCed areas. .here were other times
    when God4s !hurch continued to eAist in such scattered
    obscurity that it was visible only to the !reator.
    2evertheless, it never died out.
    $nd re"ardless of their circumstances, the people who have
    remained a part of the true !hurch of God down throu"h the
    a"es have been those who have had a deep, abidin" loyalty
    and commitment to God and to the practice of His .ruth.

    What the) started to do as ta0e the voe!s 'ro( $donia,
    EHe$re ord trans!ated as LordF* (i1 it ith the consonants

    easi!) )o% co%!d see that =ehovah o%!d not $e the correct
    pron%nciation o' the sacred na(e as there is no !etter BJ# in
    the He$re !ang%age and in He$re the na(e CHovahC
    co(es 'ro( Strong/s #oncordance T,-84 and (eans ruin or

    i(possi$!e in the He$re !ang%age" P!ease re'er to the (an)
    re'erences at the end o' this $oo0"
    1vii


    Another (isconception on the pron%nciation o' the na(e o'
    ;%4% that has co(e %p recent!) is Bahuah. In He$re a
    vav can $e a consonant or a voe! $%t cannot $e $oth at the
    sa(e ti(e" So prono%ncing YHWH as Yah%ah* )o% are %sing
    the vav 'irst as a voe!* and then $) p%tting another voe!
    a'ter it* goes against the gra((atica! !as o' He$re"

    The arg%(ent 'or %sing Yah%ah is $eca%se the na(e
    Yah%dah EHe$re 'or =%dahF has the sa(e !etters as YHWH
    $%t adds a da!et" So so(e thin0 H%st re(ove the da!et* and
    that is ho to prono%nce YHWH" This is not the a) the
    He$re !ang%age or0s and again goes against the
    gra((atica! !as o' He$re" In He$re ever) ord goes $ac0
    to a 5 or 4 !etter root* and then is voe! pointed"

    There'ore* a!tho%gh in Eng!ish it (a) see( that ;%4% is
    si(p!) Yah%dah itho%t the da!et* $%t in He$re* it does not
    even co(e 'ro( the sa(e root" #hec0 this o%t 'or )o%rse!'" In
    Strong/s concordance Yah%dah is ord n%($er 4.64 and

    137
    co(es 'ro( the root ord 4.48 Badah, Bod, dalet, hay*
    hereas the na(e ;ahweh is Strong/s 4.67 and co(es 'ro(

    see the) do not even have the sa(e root and certain!) cannot
    app!) a ne r%!e o' dropping the da!et and co(ing %p ith a
    ne pron%nciation"

    A!so the arg%(ent goes that since so(e na(es in He$re
    end ith BYah%C s%ch as E!i)ahoo* then Yaheh/s na(e (%st
    start as Yah% and then add another s)!!a$!e BahC at the end"
    Again* an)one ho is thin0ing this a) does not rea!!)
    %nderstand He$re and He$re gra((ar"

    There are <%ite a 'e re'erences in script%re that re'er to o%r
    Heaven!) Father (ere!) as BYahC"
    )sa 12:2 2ehold# El is my sal'ation< ) !ill trust and not
    be afraid# for my stren"th and son" is *ah *ah!eh$ yea#
    &e has be+ome my sal'ation.
    Bsa 114:11 *ah is my stren"th and my son"

    The Ara(aic Peshitta* hich is a!so the o!dest Ne

    Jehovah False reading of the Hebrew YAHWEH.
    (Jehovah, Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, 1973 ed.)


    195

    Encyclopedia Americana:
    Jehovah erroneous form of the name of the God of Israel.
    (Encyclopedia Americana, vol. 16. 1972 ed.)
    Encyclopedia Britannica:
    The Masoretes who from the 6th to the 10th century worked to reproduce
    the original text of the Hebrew Bible replaced the vowels of the name
    YHWH with the vowel signs of Adonai or Elohim. Thus the artificial
    name Jehovah came into being.
    (Yahweh, The New Encyclopedia Britannica, vol. 12, 1993 ed.)
    The Jewish Encyclopedia:
    Jehovah a mispronunciation of the Hebrew YaHWeH the name of
    God. The pronunciation of Jehovah is grammatically impossible.
    (Jehovah, The Jewish Encyclopedia, vol. 7, 1904 ed.)
    The New Jewish Encyclopedia:
    It is clear that the word Jehovah is an artificial composite.
    (Jehovah, The New Jewish Encyclopedia, 1962 ed.)
    The Encyclopedia Judaica:
    According to the Encyclopedia Judaica, p. 680, vol. 7, the true
    pronunciation of the tetragrammaton, YHWH, was never lost. The
    name was pronounced Yahweh. It was regularly pronounced this way
    at least until 586 B.C., as is clear from the Lachish Letters written
    shortly before this date.
    Encyclopedia Judaica, pg. 680, The Macmillan Co., New York, 1971.
    "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.'
