Voorbij een redelijke twijfel

Hebrew Alphabet History:

The Hebrew alphabet consists of 22 letters and has never included the letter "J" or the "J" sound. Ancient Hebrew used the yod (י) which produces a "Y" sound (as in "yes"). The Savior’s name in Hebrew letters is ישוע (Yod-Shin-Vav-Ayin), pronounced approximately Yeh-shoo-ah or Yah-shoo-ah. The letter J did not exist in any alphabet until the 15th-17th centuries in European languages

WHY are they HIDING GOD'S NAME? | The YESHUA TRUTH the CHURCH won’t TELL YOU

The change of these names was not a single event, but a three-stage mechanical breakdown of the original Hebrew Blueprint. It was driven by a combination of linguistic "telephone" and a deliberate effort by the Roman-led Church to distance the faith from its Hebrew roots.



To understand why the names, the Sabbath, and the Feasts were changed, you have to look at the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) and the Council of Laodicea (363 AD). This wasn't just a "misunderstanding"; it was a deliberate divorce from the Hebrew Blueprint.

The Roman-led Church didn't just want to "add" to the faith; they wanted to kill the root to make the religion acceptable to the Roman Empire.

​

1. The Greek "Translation" (Stage One)
As the message moved into the Roman Empire, the Hebrew names were squeezed into the Greek language, which lacked the proper sounds to support them.

Yeshua (ישוע) became Iēsous. Because Greek has no "Sh" sound and requires male names to end in "s," the name was structurally altered.

Yochanan became Ioannes (John).

Ya'akov became Iakobos (James).


2. The Latin "Standard" (Stage Two)
When the Roman Catholic Church took control, they translated the Greek into Latin (the Vulgate).

Iēsous became Iesus.

The names were further "Latinized" to fit the tongue of Rome, moving them even further away from the original sound and meaning intended by Yehovah.


3. The English "Invention" (Stage Three)
This is where the final "addition" occurred. As you noted, the letter "J" is a late addition to the alphabet.

The Timeline: For 1,500 years, the name was pronounced with an "I" or "Y" sound.

The Change: In the 16th and 17th centuries, English printers began using the "J" to distinguish the consonant sound. Iesus became Jesus.

The Result: A carnal world accepted a name that is phonetically disconnected from the Father. By the time you get to "Jesus" or "James," the Hebrew connection to Salvation and Yehovah has been completely erased.


WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
While linguists blame "natural evolution," the Truth reveals a more calculated culprit:

The Spirit of Rome: The Roman Church sought to create a "Universal" (Catholic) religion. To make it palatable to the pagan world, they stripped away the "Jewishness" of the Savior and His disciples.

The Translators: Men like Jerome and later English scholars prioritized the "sound" of their own languages over the Sanctity of the Original Name.


The Mechanical Failure
By changing the names, they "subtracted" the power of the Hebrew identity and "added" a Western identity.

Ya'akov (the name of the Patriarch) was turned into James—a name that didn't even exist in the ancient world.

Yeshua (The Father's Salvation) was turned into a generic, 600-year-old English label.

The Verdict: If you are following "Jesus and James," you are following a Westernized translation. If you want to walk the Narrow Way, you must return to the Original Blueprint: Yeshua and His disciples who lived and died by the Torah.
