The Hebrew Letter – ו “ WAW ”
Another beautiful proof that the “ OO ” sound is correct is found in the Hebrew Name of our Heavenly Father’s Spirit.
“ Ruach Hakodesh ” translated, “ Spirit of Separation ”.
“ Ruwach ” Strong’s no 7307 , pronounced – Roo –ach [Spirit] is spelt : ד ו ה
We would not think of saying, “ Rach ” and thus eliminating the ו . We should therefore be consistent with the pronunciation of the Heavenly Father’s Name and His Son’s Name.
י ה ו ה The Heavenly Father pronounced Yahooah
[A simple exercise to confirm this statement is to take the English form ‘Judah’ and check Strong’s concordance for the correct Hebrew name. The number is 3063 and is spelt in Hebrew יהודה being from right to left YHWDH – Yahoodah. Just remove the ד and you have Yahooah.
יהושע His Son, The Messiah pronounced Yahoosha
דוה His Spirit pronounced Rooach
The letter ו being in all three in perfect unity and harmony.
“ Halel ” – Strong’s no 1984 means – “ praise ”.
“ Yah ” – Strong’s no 3050 the Root of the Heavenly Father’s Name – ה י
The above two are joined together by the ו – oo the “ Waw ”.
So we say and sing, HalelooYah. Meaning “ Praise Yah ”.
Again we do not ignore the “oo” sound and say Halel Yah.
Please do not allow our ignorance of Hebrew to be a stumbling block to those who do, particularly when presenting a message which is so vital..
Joyfully in the service of our precious Messiah יהושע – Yahoosha of Natsareth.

IN THE FOLLOWING QUOTATIONS FROM THE BOOK “AID TO BIBLE UNDERSTANDING” BY THE “WATCH TOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY” WILL BE SHOWN IN italics.
[7] Jesus the Latin form of the Greek I-e-sous which corresponds to the Hebrew Yeshua or Yehohshua and means Salvation [or, Help] of Jehovah.
[8] BUT THE MESSIAH WAS NOT OF LATIN OR GREEK DESCENT. HE WAS A JEW, A HEBREW.
[9] The name I-e-sous appears in the Greek text in Acts 7: 45 and Hebrews 4: 8 and applies to Joshua, the leader of Israel following Moses’ death.
[10] ACTUALLY IT APPEARS IN ACTS 13: 6 AS, BAR-IESOUS MEANING “SON OF IESOUS” AND IN MOST BIBLES TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH AS “BAR-JESUS” MEANING SON OF JESUS.The name itself was not unusual, many men being so named in that period.
[11] IF IESOUS /JESUS WAS HIS NAME AND SO MANY MEN WERE CALLED BY THIS NAME THEN HOW COULD THE PHARISEES AND THE RELIGIOUS ORDER BAN THIS NAME BEING USED BY HIS DISCIPLES.
Acts 3: 16; Acts 4: 10-12; Acts 5: 40-41. IN FACT READ THE WHOLE BOOK OF ACTS AND SEE THAT THE HEBREW NAME, NOT THE LATIN OR GREEK VERSION OF THE MESSIAH WAS BANNED AS IT IS EVEN TO THIS DAY.
[12] Just as the reason or reasons originally advanced for discontinuing the use of the divine name are uncertain, so, too, there is much uncertainty as to when this superstitious view really took hold. Some claim that it began following the Babylonian exile [607 – 537 B.C.E]. This theory is based on a supposed reduction in the use of the name by the later writers of the Hebrew Scriptures.
[13] THROUGHOUT THE BOOKS OF EZRA AND NEHEMIAH [NEHEMYAH] THE “Y-H” WAS DROPPED WHEN REFERRING TO THE OLD COVENANT LEADER AND OTHERS. Nehemiah 8: 17.
[14] A NAME BEGINNING WITH THE LETTERS “Y-H” WAS BANNED BY THE RELIGIOUS ORDER. FOR A CLEAR SCRIPTURAL UNDERSTANDING PLEASE READ MY NOTE “WHAT NAME WAS WRITTEN IN LUKE 1:63? YHWH COMMISSIONED HIS ANGEL GABRIEL AS TO THE NAMING OF TWO BOYS, THE IMMERSER WHO WAS TO PREPARE THE WAY “YAHUCHANAN” [YAH’S CHOSEN] AND HIS SON THE MESSIAH “YAHUSHA” [YAH’S SAVIOUR].
[15] SO LONG AS THE LETTERS “Y-H” ARE AT THE END OF A NAME IT IS ACCEPTABLE DUE TO THE MEANING OF THE NAME IS NOT BEING EMPHATIC. YAHUCHANAN = YAH’S CHOSEN [EMPHATIC], WHERE NEHEMYAH = CONSOLATION OF YAH [ACCEPTABLE].
[16] ACTS 4: 12 STATES. “NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: FOR THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED.” WHAT NAME DO YOU CHOOSE, THE HEBREW NAME GIVEN BY YHWH OR A GREEK, LATIN VERSION OF DUBIOUS ORIGIN?
[17] CONSIDER HOW MANY MEN TODAY IN SOUTH AMERICA, OTHER LATIN COUNTRIES AND IN FACT ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE CALLED “JESUS.” THIS MAKES A MOCKERY OFTHE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURE.
[18] PHILIPPIANS 2: 9-10. “WHEREFORE YHWH ALSO HAS HIGHLY EXALTED HIM, AND GIVEN HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME THAT AT THE NAME OF “JESUS” EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, OF THINGS IN HEAVEN, AND THINGS IN EARTH, AND UNDER THE EARTH.” WHAT ABOUT JESUS FERGUSON A POKER WORLD CHAMPION. NO ONE BOWED THEIR KNEE WHEN HE WAS INTRODUCED TO THE OTHER PLAYERS!
[19] PROPHESY FULFILLED, JOHN [YOCHANAN] 5: 43. “I COME IN MY FATHER’S NAME AND YOU DO NOT RECEIVE ME: IF ANOTHER [SAVIOUR] SHALL COME IN HIS OWN NAME, HIM YOU WILL RECEIVE.”
[20] YAHUSHA CAME IN HIS FATHER’S NAME “YAH” AND HAD HIS FATHER’S STAMP ON HIS NAME.
NEITHER IESOUS OR JESUS HAS “YAH” IN THEIR NAMES, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE A STRANGE TIE TO ZEUS.
IESOUS -STRONG’S NO. 2424 IS PHONETICAL PRONOUNCED “EE-AY-SOOCE.” THIS IS CLOSE TO ZEUS – STRONG’S NO. 2203PRONOUNCED “DZ-YOOCE . WAS THIS TO MAKE THE PAGANS HAPPY?
READ ACTS 14: 12-13 TO SEE HOW THE PAGANS WANTED TO RENAME SHAUL AND BAR NABAS WITH PAGAN DEITY NAMES.
[21] FINALLY THERE ARE MANY SINCERE PEOPLE WHO ARE DECEIVED BY THE MODERN DAY SCRIBES AND THE FALSE SHEPHERDS – THE HIRED HANDS WRITTEN ABOUT IN JOHN [YOCHANAN] 10: 12-13 WITH THIS RESULT.
Revelation 12: 9. “AND THE GREAT DRAGON WAS CAST OUT, THAT OLD SERPENT, CALLED THE DEVIL AND SATAN, WHICH DECEIVES THE WHOLE WORLD.”
WHAT NAME DOES THE WHOLE WORLD BELIEVE, WHAT NAME DO ALL CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONS PREACH? PERHAPS YOU ARE YOU PART OF THEM OR DO YOU WISH TO PASS THE TEST OF 1 JOHN 4: 1-6 BEING THE CONFESSION OF THE RIGHT HEBREW NAME GIVEN BY THE WILL OF YHWH.
