The Name They Hid, the Messiah They Killed | The Veil of Tradition, Torn by the Truth
Adoshem: This term is a combination of "Adonai" (meaning "My Lord") and "Hashem" (meaning "The Name"). It is used as a substitute to avoid pronouncing the Tetragrammaton, the four-letter name of God considered too “sacred to utter.”
In other words, they built idols they were never asked to build, and they neglected what they were tasked responsible for.
Yah: A shortened form of the Tetragrammaton, "Yah" appears in various biblical texts and is often associated with God's attributes of salvation and power. It is part of the phrase "Hallelujah," meaning "Praise Yah."
Yahweh: This is the transliteration of the Tetragrammaton (YHWH), representing the most sacred and ineffable name of God in Judaism. Traditionally, it is not vocalized; instead, substitutes like "Adonai" or "Hashem" are used during prayer and reading of scriptures.
HaKadosh Baruch Hu: Translating to "The Holy One, Blessed be He," this appellation emphasizes God's holiness and is commonly used in rabbinic literature to refer to God in a respectful and reverent manner.
El Shaddai: Often translated as "God Almighty," the exact meaning of "Shaddai" is subject to various interpretations. Some scholars suggest it denotes God's might and sufficiency, while others propose connections to mountains or wilderness, reflecting different aspects of the Divine.
Av Harahamim: Meaning "Father of Mercies," this name underscores God's compassionate and merciful nature. It is featured in Jewish liturgy, particularly in prayers seeking divine mercy.
Harahaman: Translating to "The Merciful One," this term is frequently used in Jewish prayers and blessings to invoke God's mercy and benevolence.
How Religious Systems Rejected the Truth and Buried the Name of Yahweh
They were meant to bear His Name.
Meant to carry the fire of Mount Sinai,
To proclaim the voice that thundered from Heaven,
To remember the blood that saved Egypt’s firstborn.
(Exodus 19:5–6, Exodus 12:13, Deuteronomy 4:10)
They were called to be a light to the nations—
But instead, they built walls.
(Isaiah 42:6, Romans 2:17–24)
They wore holy garments Yahweh never stitched.
They burned incense He never asked for.
(Isaiah 1:11–13, Amos 5:21–24)
They created man-made names like Adoshem,
Locked the Tetragrammaton in a box,
And feared the Name they were called to proclaim.
(Leviticus 22:32, Psalm 105:1, Joel 2:32)
The Tragedy of Hidden Light
They hoarded the light
And swallowed the dark.
(Isaiah 5:20, Matthew 23:13)
They made Yahweh their puppet—
A charm for blessing, a token in the synagogue.
(Jeremiah 7:9–10, Micah 3:11)
Then turned and kissed Baal with the same lips.
(Hosea 2:8, Ezekiel 8:16)
They sacrificed their children to Molech
And lifted bloodless hands in prayer.
(Jeremiah 32:35, Isaiah 1:15)
They buried the Name—YHWH—
The breath of all creation.
(Exodus 3:15, Psalm 68:4)
And when the veil was torn…
They stitched it back together.
(Matthew 27:51, Hebrews 10:20)
They Knew Who They Were Killing
They knew.
They weren’t blind in ignorance. They were blinded by pride.
Caiaphas said it with full awareness:
“It is better for one man to die for the people than for the whole nation to perish.”
(John 11:50)
That wasn’t a prophecy made in reverence.
It was a political calculation—
A priest willing to sacrifice the spotless Lamb
To protect the rotting system.
And yet… Yahweh used it.
Even their wickedness was woven into His plan.
The Lamb had to die.
But woe to those through whom the betrayal came.
(Matthew 26:24)
It was murder with a smirk.
A sacrifice of Truth for the comfort of control.
The Messiah They Rehearsed but Rejected
They didn’t just reject Him.
They murdered Him.
(Acts 2:22–23, Luke 23:21)
The Messiah they rehearsed in every festival
But denied when the prophecy came true.
(1 Corinthians 5:7, John 1:29)
They still mock.
Still sacrifice.
Still bow to golden calves made of lineage and law.
(Galatians 4:9–10, Matthew 15:6–9)
They still act chosen—
While rejecting the Chosen One.
(John 1:11, Romans 9:30–33)
But Yahweh Cannot Be Buried
Yahweh doesn’t live in temples made by hands.
(Acts 7:48–51)
He doesn't need incense or rabbinic fences.
He wants hearts.
He tore the veil—
And He’s gathering a remnant not by bloodline,
But by Spirit,
By fire,
By truth.
(John 4:23–24, Romans 9:6–8)
Yahushua is the Name they tried to bury.
But He rose—and now we rise with Him.
(Philippians 2:9–11, Revelation 1:18)
Yahushua is the Name they tried to bury.
But He rose.
And now we rise with Him.
—Philippians 2:9–11, Colossians 3:1–3, Revelation 1:18
Prayer
Father Yahweh,
We tremble before Your holiness and grieve for what man has done to Your Name.
We confess the centuries of deception, of tradition without truth, of sacrifices without surrender.
But we thank You—
That You tore the veil.
That You sent Yahushua, not to play along with their games,
but to expose every lie with the light of Your love.
May we never hide Your Name again.
May we never bury our King to keep peace with the world.
We cry out for the lost, even those who pierced You—
Bring them to repentance.
And gather us as one Bride, washed by Your Word,
ready for Your return.
In the Name above every name—
Yahushua Ha’Mashiach,
Amen..
