Tanakh versions:

Throughout this site I use any of the following three versions of the Tanakh: 1. Jewish Publication Society (JPS-1917), 2. Mechon-Mamre.org” (MEC), and 3. “Sefaria.org” (SEF), three brilliant versions!

Colour coded details of our beloved TaNaKh:

1. Torah = History & Law, 2. Nevi’im = The Prophets. 3. *Ketuvim = all other Writings.

*The Ketuvim - Includes, Poetical books - Psalms, Proverbs, Job, the Megillot, or Scrolls - Song of Solomon, Ruth, Lamentations of Jeremiah, Ecclesiastes, and Esther, prophecy of Daniel, and history of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Chronicles I & II.

Please Note: Some alterations or (additions) have been made relating to ‘Names’ and ‘Attributes’ of אֱלֹהִים - Elohim, having been corrected like it once was pre the “Masoretic Text”.

YYYYYYY

Remember the following truth from our beloved Torah!

Ye shall NOT ADD TO THE WORD which I command you, NEITHER SHALL YE DIMINISH FROM IT, that ye may keep the commandments of יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם - the LORD your Eloleichem, which I command you”. Davarim - Deuteronomy 4:2. (JPS-1917).

However, sadly both priests and rabbis broke אֱלֹהִים - Elohim’s command’s and made countless alterations, please just check Tehillim - Psalm 53, where they removed the sacred Name of יְהוָה - the LORD seven times, and replaced it with אֱלֹהִים in Hebrew as well as God in the English translation. Myself having been an archaeologist in the past, I have seen a partial piece of this Tehillim in Jerusalem, and it had the original blessed Name of our Beloved אֱלֹהִים - Elohim as ... “Yod, He, Vav, He”. This was, and still remains an utter disgrace of what priests and rabbis have done! Be assured they have and shall be severly punished for their evil!

 

 

 “Who is our Creator

With Rabbi, Dr. Reuven Ben Avraham-Goossens, PhD.

 

 

*This is My Name Forever, and this is My Memorial to all Generations.” Shemot - Exodus 3:15. (JPS-1917 version of the Torah).

 

I am well aware that parts of this study may be tough, but be assured that I dearly love and honour our beloved Heavenly Father, Blessed Be His Holy Name!

When the priests and rabbis removed the Holy Name from our beloved Tanakh, did you know that אֱלֹהִים - Elohim (God) actually CURSED THEM!

And now, this commandment is for you, O ye priests. If ye will not hearken, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto My Name, saith צְבָאוֹת- יְהוָה(the LORD of hosts)then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I curse them, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will rebuke the seed for your hurt, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your sacrifices; and ye shall be taken away unto it”. Mal’a’chi – Malachi. (JPS-1917). Later Prophets - נְבִיאִים אַחֲרוֹנִים.

Of course a Name represents the reputation of one who is being named, and it is vital that a Name should be treated with the same respect as the reputation of the One it is spoken about. For this reason, our Heavenly Father’s Attribute and His blessed Name must be treated with enormous respect and reverence by all Yisrael - Israel, and all those who have come into the faith.

YYYYYYY

However, I really have to come to a point, where I must clarify something. Let me commence to clear up something and I will be providing the fact’s, directly from the Tanakh!

What does the English word ‘god’ mean in relation to the Hebrew word Elohim?

1… Question – Is the Ivrit Hebrew word “Elohim” the Name of our beloved Creator, blessed be He?

Answer – No it is not. We need to understand that this wonderful word “Elohim” has never been a name for our beloved Creator!

2… Then, what does the word Elohim really mean?

The fact is that the Ivrit - Hebrew word “Elohim” clearly tells us “who and what” our beloved Creator is. Thus it is certainly not a name. The truth is that this word is an is meant to be is the “Attribute” of Our Blessed Creator, in other words, “Who and What He is, and does!”

3… Thus “Elohim”, בָּרוּךְ אֱלֹהִים - bless Elohim, is this the correct word to use as the “Attribute”, for our beloved Heavenly Father? Yes it is, but we should never, ever use that pagan name ‘god’! Let me explain ...

Sadly here comes what will be a BIG SHOCK to many, again thanks to our rabbis they chose the worst possible word Gad. What about this word that soon became ‘god’, Sadly, I have to tell you that it is a pagan word and also a name for a pagan deity, which the rabbi’s at a later date glorified by placing a stroke in the middle G-D, and it was substituted and worshipped as a deity, which Elohim is not!

For those who know the Tanakh well, will know that there were countless pagan god’s (deity’s) around in ancient times, including that one who was known as “Gad” also pronounced as “Gaad,” or “Gawd” and later whilst we were in diaspora it became “God.” Let me explain who and what this ‘god’ really is!

“And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bore Ya’akov - Jacob a son. And Leah said: dg - Gad (fortune) is come!’ And she called his name dg - Gad”. Shemot - Exodus 30; 11 (JPS).

Leah named her baby boy after a pagan deity and it even became a tribe. We can read about this pagan deity in Yeshayahu - Isaiah chapter 65, where Elohim warns His people Israel as follows. Just for interest, the first verse below hails from the ‘New Kings James Version’. (NKJV), why am I even using it? Because it is one thing they actually managed to get right! our later editions lied!

“But you are those who forsake יְהוָה (the LORD), who forget My Holy Mountain, Who prepare a table for גַּד - Gad (being the Syrio-Babylonian god of fortune), and who furnish a drink offering for מְנִי - Meni (the goddess of destiny)” Yeshayahu - Isaiah 65:11.

I will now use the ‘Jewish Publication Society’ (JPS-1917) version of the Tanakh. And you will note that suddenly the (JPS) version translates it rather weirdly and in error, as it is completely different and wrong! But the question is why?

“But ye that forsake יְהוָה, that forget My holy mountain, that prepare a table for Fortune (in Ivrit - Hebrew word for Fortune is written as, guess what: גַּד Gad), and that offer mingled wine in full measure unto Destiny (again in Ivrit it is also written as מְנִי - Meni”. Yeshayahu - Isaiah 65:11 (JPS).

However, it is very strange that in the JPS version the name of גַּד - “Gad” or “Fortune” is suddenly spelled with a capital ‘F’ and מְנִי Meni” or “Destiny” with a capital ‘D’ like they are highly honoured?

The words of the prophet Yeshayahu - Isaiah demonstrate the widespread worship of this false deity whose name was גַּד Gad,” which Judah had apparently embraced along with that other false deity named מְנִי Meni”. Yet, you may have also noted that Elohim’s “holy mountain” received no capitals at all, which I found very strange indeed. Ask yourselves the question, why suddenly give these two pagan names/words Capitals, yet “Elohim’s Holy Mountain” seems to be downgraded to the lowercase? Very strange!

Then also in our Tanakh is the evil name of בַּ֫עַל גָּד “Baal-Gad” who is also mentioned in Yahushua - Joshua 11:17. This Syrian idol גַּד “Gad” was considered to be a very powerful deity who was supposed to control the planet Jupiter, which was a part of ancient Semitic worship and it was later embraced by many successive nations, including Greece the creators of Christianity, as well as in Rome, for in Roman mythology, Jupiter is the ruler of all the gods, the son of the god Saturn, whom he overthrew. Thus in Rome this גַּד “Gad” or “God” was a powerful deity indeed and the word we know is in reality the name of this pagan so-called deity.

 In due course most of us ended up in eastern and western Europe where countless changes took place and as the German language was very popular, and Yiddish came into play, the word גַּד “Gad” was rapidly introduced, which later became known as “God” in English.

“Apart from Gad, the son of Ya’aqov, there was another “Gad”. The astrologers of Babel called Jupiter by the name “Gad”. He was also well known among the Canaanites (Kena'anites) where his name was often coupled with Ba'al, also known as “Ba’al-Gad”, which according to Massoretic vowel pointing in the Book of Yehoshua - Joshua he is pronounced Ba’al-God. This same name is discovered in the ancient Germanic languages as Gad, GottGodaGode”.

Thus the way rabbis decided on “God’s because, the English word "god" comes from Germanic etymological roots stemming from the ancient worship of “superhuman beings of heathen myth” among the Germanic people and “Baal God”.

Thus remember every time you say GOD, God or G-D you are blaspheming the Holy Name of יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים (Y-H-V-H) - the LORD Elohim) and eventually “Gad to Gawd became “God” and it was priests and rabbis simply accepted that pagan word “God! Instead of using “El” or Elohim”, etc, therefore those cursed priests and rabbis in the ancient days and those rabbis so much later who wrote the evil ‘Zohar’, which a long time later became the occultic ‘Kabbalah’ and then entered the ‘Talmud’ had got their way and they slowly destroyed many things of the blessed Torah and the “Tanakh”. And now they use words such as “the LORD” in capitals, instead of using the four letter blessed “Memorial Name” in Ivrit יְהוָה - the Tetragrammaton,, althouh it should be ‘YaHVaH’ blessed be He! The Ivrit (Hebrew) word “Elohim” literally means, “Mightiest of the Mighty”. I do use it in the correct way instead of replacing it with אֱלֹהִים in my studies, However, believe it or not, priests and rabbis removed the Sacred, and although it is still shown throughout the Tanakh for some weird reason they removed it in Tehillim - Psalm  53 seven times, and where YHVH was written they placed אֱלֹהִים in Ivrit, and that pagan word God in English.

What is אֱלֹהִים יְהוָה - the LORD Elohim asking from us? ...

Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, saith צְבָאוֹת- יְהוָה- the LORD of hosts”. Mal’a’chi - Malachi 3:7. (JPS).

The question arises, why do we as Hebrew’s, and I do mean all Twelve Tribes for we are all still here, using this hideous pagan word “god”, and Christians and other faith also use it. In the Tanakh, the attribute of our Heavenly Father, blessed be He, is mostly “Elohim”, Elohei, or “El”, thus, we should ONLY use this word, being the attribute that distinguishes our Elohim, the Creator of the Heaven and the Earth from all those pagan gad’s and god’s of the pagan world!

But long after the Second Temple rabbis had sadly had lost the plot, just like in the days of Yirmyahu - Jeremiah, and they decided to enter sorcery as they were so involved into that evil Kabbalah, which was based on the Zohar, and fell for and accepted “Gad” thereafter the word “God” would be used rather than our beautiful Torah based “Elohim”, the Almighty, and because of rabbinic error all of Judaism is using a pagan name along with every other faith, being evil, fto say the least. Yet those evil rabbis feel that we are supposed to show respect to this pagan word ‘god’, but let us show only show respect for our יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים (the LORD Elohim), בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם קָדוֹשׁוֹ - ‘Baruch Shem Kadosho’ - ‘Blessed be His Holy Name’!

Below are several Powerful Messages from the Torah!

“You Change My Torah and be damned”!

It is vital that we remember what we are told in Devarim - Deuteronomy chapter 4, verse 2 as well as chapter 5, verses 28-29.

Ye shall not add unto the Word which I Command you, neither shall ye Diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of אֱלֹהֵיכֶם- יְהוָה(your LORD, the Elohim) which I command you” Devarim - Deuteronomy 4:2 (JPS).

Ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. Ye shall walk in all the ways which אֱלֹהֵיכֶ -  יְהוָהhath commanded you that ye may live, and that it may be well with you” Devarim - Deuteronomy 5:28-29 (JPS).

At times I feel that I am given a similar job to Yirmyahu, and I am well aware that rabbi’s dislike me for telling the truth! Remember how they desired to murder Yirmyahubut truth is the truth, and Elohim always had a Name and he desired it to be known to all Generations and Forever by His actual Name being, יְהוָה - YaH’VaHבָּרוּךְ שֵׁם קָדוֹשׁוֹ - ‘Baruch Shem Kadosho’ - ‘Blessed be His Holy Name’!

Tragically Elohim knew that man would interfere with what He had given them, and thus on various occasions clearly stated

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it”.

Tragically, Israel still did just that, and in due course the priests and rabbis had audacity to alter His Sacred Name, and further changes were made after the Second Temple was destroyed, and the rabbis continued to alter our blessed Tanakh and added so many man-made laws, and created a completely new faith which became known as “Rabbinic Judaism”, which Rambam cursed, but these days it seems to have completely overridden our blessed Torah of יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים, blessed be His Holy Name, which He had so lovingly had given to us! Please Father wake our Hebrew community wake up and return to our true faith as it was back in the Sinai wilderness!
