WHO IS "ISHI"?
The confusion regarding the name is due to the man-made Masoretic Vowel Marks [VM], which came into existence in the 6th century AD. We don’t always rely on these marks, for when you search, with the aid of Yah’s Spirit, you will know the truth.
We have found more Scripture evidence that points to Yasha as the Savior’s true Name. Notice the following comparisons looking at the Hebrew characters, reading from right to left. When looking at the Hebrew characters in Strong’s Concordance or a Hebrew Bible you must read from right to left. In the following we have placed the English from left to right.
Ishi #3469 = y#y [YSHAY] =Yashay. The vowel marks [VM] say "Yishiy".
Isaiah #3470 = hy(#y [YSHAYH] =Yashayah [VM] say "Yeshayah" or "Yeshayahuw".
Ishmael #3458 = lm(#y [YSHAML] =Yashamayil VM say "Yishmael".
Issachar #3485 = rks#y [YSHSKR] =Yashasakar VM say "Yissakar".
Israel #3478 = l)r#y [YSHRAL] Yashayil VM say "Yisrayil". "My people which are called by My Name" 2 Chronicles 7:14. Strong’s says this is a "symbolic name for Jacob [Yakob]."
Jeshurun #3484 = nwr#y [YSHRON] Yasharon VM say "Yeshuruwn". Strong’s
says this is a "symbolic name for Israel." Since there is no "u" or "w" in ancient Hebrew, you have to follow this on back to its primitive root. The "vav" is either used as "v", or "o" or "oo". Notice to whom the following Scriptures refer:
"But Jeshurun [Yasharon] waxed fat, and kicked: you are waxen fat, you are grown thick, you are covered with fatness; then he forsook Yah which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation." Deuteronomy 32:15;
"And he was king in Jeshurun, [Yasharon] when the heads of the people and the tribes of Yasharayil/Israel were gathered together." Deuteronomy 33:5, 26,
"Yet now hear, O Yakob my servant; and Yasharayil, whom I have chosen: {2} Thus says Yah that made you, and formed you from the womb, which will help you; Fear not, O Yakob, my servant; and you, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. Yashayah/Isaiah 44:1, 2.
The margin in these texts show Israel as being Jeshurun. Notice in Yashayah 44:2, it is written "Jesurun" instead of "Jeshurun". In the Strong’s it is shown as the same number 3484.
Notice the word "Ishi" # 3469, the Hebrew characters are y#(y [YSHAY] and would be pronounced, without marks as, "Yashay."
BUT in Hosea 2:16 they used # 376 for Ishi:
"And it will come about in that day," declares Yah, "That you will call Me Ishi [my husband-Yasha] and will no longer call Me Baali [my Lord]."
"For I am jealous over you with righteous jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Yasha [the Mashayah]." 2 Corinthians 11:2.
Do you see a pattern here? "Iyash" comes out as the sound of a sneeze. They say the alef isn’t pronounced, so Iyash would be Yash, even when you pronounce it there is an "a" sound that comes out at the end. When the scribes copied the manuscripts, they had to make sure they had the same number of characters as when they started. So if they added a character, they had to delete another. Perhaps this is why we have an "I" at the beginning of this name and the "a" or "(" left off. That is why we have "Iyash" instead of "Yasha"!
The word "man" in Genesis chapters 1 and 2 is always "Adam" # 120, except in Genesis 2:23, where it is Yash # 376. I believe they have left the "(" the "a" off, because the Savior was accused of blasphemy and His Name would then be blotted out of the tribes of Yasharon. Notice a few other places where Man is # 376.
"Then Jacob was left alone, and a MAN [376] wrestled with him until daybreak." Genesis 32:24.
This was none other than the only begotten Son of Yah, our Savior Yasha.
"Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a MAN [376] was standing opposite him with His sword drawn in his hand, and Yahosha went to Him and said to Him, "Are you for us or for our adversaries?" Joshua 5:13.
This MAN explains that He is the captain of the host of Yah and in verse 15 He says,
"Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is consecrated."
This is the same words used by the Ambassador of Yah in Exodus 3:5, which is none other than Yasha the Redeemer of mankind!
The 4th MAN in the fiery furnace.
"Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spoke, and said to his counsellers, ‘Did we not cast 3 men bound into the midst of the fire?’ They answered and said to the king, ‘True, O king.’ {25} He answered and said, ‘Lo, I see 4 men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the 4th is like the Son of the Almighty." Danuel 3:24, 25.
"And in that day 7 women will take hold of one MAN [376], saying, ‘We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by Your Name, to take away our reproach." Isaiah 4:1.
These 7 women are symbolic of the 7 assemblies of Revelation chapters 2 and 3. They want to be called by the name of the Savior, but they want to eat what they want to eat, and wear anything they want to wear, but be considered His followers which they believe takes away any reproach.
Do we have any proof that the Savior’s Name was substituted? Yes! In the original 1611 KJV:
"And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elizeus the Prophet…" [This is exactly as it reads in that version.]
The Savior was referring to "Yilyasha" # 477. We believe the "El" and "Elohim" are from Babylon, and do not belong in the inspired Hebrew Scriptures. El is the same as Bel, Baal. So we use the Hebrew #352 – "Yil" instead. In # 477 it has the (#yl) and this would be pronounced "Ilyasha" or "Yilyasha". But either way it still contains the name "Yasha"! The Scriptures tell us that when the followers of the Savior were forbidden to teach or preach in the true Name of the Savior, [Acts 4:17, 18; 5:28, 40.] the Greek believers in the Savior translated the writings of the disciples from Hebrew into the Greek language, and they were forbidden to use the Savior’s real Name, they substituted their "savior god" Zeus for that of the Savior’s Name.
Another proof of substitutions are the following quote from the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, page 7, under "God" it reads:
"Joseph (the name Joseph-el, "Joseph is God," occurs in Egyptian records). In course of time, as the tribes united into a nation, all other names were superseded by the Tetragrammaton, Yahveh; this process seems to have been completed by the middle of the 9th cent. B.C.E., after which time almost every royal name is compounded with Yahveh. The name Elohim is apparently used in the narratives as a substitute for the earlier divine names, of which only those were preserved which could be interpreted as descriptive terms, such as Elyon, "the Most High.
"In the latter part of the Biblical period there is evidence that there was a reluctance on the part of some groups to use even the Tetragrammaton. In two books of the Psalms (Ps. 42 to 89) the Tetragrammaton appears very rarely, and Elohim is used throughout. Evidence of a deliberate substitution of Elohim for the Tetragrammaton appears in Ps. 45:7…and the yihyeh, misread as the Tetragrammaton, was changed to ‘elohim…
"The rabbis of the Talmudic period also developed a number of substitute names of God which they used in their ordinary speech…" [underlining ours.]
"Behold the Man." John 19:5
Did Pilate actually say that? Or did he say "Behold Yasha"?
In 1 Corinthians 15:45 it says,
"So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, became a living soul." The last ADAM a life-giving spirit."
Did it originally say "the first Yasha, became a living soul" [Genesis 2:23] the last Yasha a life-giving spirit"?
Our Creator’s messages are to be so simple that even a child could understand. You point a child to Psalm 68:4 which says we are to "Praise Him by His Name Yah", and they can easily understand!
It is written:
"Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known." Matthew 10:26; Mark 4:22; Luke 8:17.
"At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Spirit of Yah, and said, "I praise You, O Father, Sovereign of heaven and earth, that You did hide these things from the wise and intelligent and did reveal them to babes. Yes, Father, for thus it was well-pleasing in Your sight." Luke 10:21.
"…Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees/Jews, which is hypocrisy. But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known." Luke 12:1, 2.
When I say "Pharisees/Jews" I am not being disrespectful but only quoting what they say:
"The Jewish religion as it is today traces its descent, without a break, through all the centuries, from the Pharisees. Their leading ideas and methods found expression in a literature of enormous extent, of which a very great deal is still in existence. The Talmud is the largest and most important single piece of that literature…and the study of it is essential for any real understanding of Pharisaism." From the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia [1943].
"Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you. Zechariah 8:23, KJV.
This is how it should read:
"This is what Yah of hosts said; ‘In those days it will come to pass, that 10 men will take hold out of all languages of the nations, even will take hold of the garment of Yasha, [# 376] saying, ‘We will go with You: for we have heard that Yah is with you." Zakaryah/Zechariah 8:23.
Where the name "Jew" comes from is another interesting study since there is no "J" "E" or "W" in the ancient Hebrew!
"And even if our glad tidings is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing." 2 Corinthians 4:3.
The Scriptures give us the evidence for the true Name, we just have to dig for it with the guidance of the Spirit of Yah.
