Among

the

as

we

call

into

of

the

might

almost

have

been

framed

with

a

view

to

propagandaAs

a

result

the

Septuagint

which

had

originally

been

produced

by

Jews

for

Jews

was

entirely

abandoned

to

the

Christians

For

Greekspeaking

Jews

a

new

Greek

was

commissioned

which

should

represent

as

closely

as

the

One

of

the

great

works

undertaken

at

was

a

of

to

to

His

translation

was

made

under

supervision

of

admired

THE

CONSPIRACY

CONTINUES

IN

THE

TESTAMENT

The

conspiracy

rolls

on

with

ingenious

new

innovations

the

retranslation

of

the

Greek

version

of

the

Old

Testament

cleverly

devised

instructions

which

permitted

copies

of

the

New

Testament

to

be

burnt

and

the

change

of

the

name

of

Jesus

His

Hebrew

name

was

changed

from

Yeshua

salvation

to

Yeshu

a

curse

demanding

that

His

name

and

memory

be

wiped

out

literally

ymah

shemo

vezihro

in

Hebrew

This

wrongful

acronymic

name

is

still

uttered

by

the

unlearned

and

misinformed

in

modern

Israel

Additionally

a

stern

but

false

contemporary

denial

of

the

existence

of

Jewish

believers

in

Jesus

in

the

early

Christian

era

is

propounded

by

Rabbis

and

Lewis

We

disclaim

this

claim

through

an

archaeological

discovery

made

in

by

the

French

archaeologist

Claudine

Dauphine

in

the

mountains

of

the

Golan

Heights

presently

still

within

the

borders

of

We

hope

these

beautiful

green

majestic

mountains

will

not

be

handed

back

to

the

Arabs

Syrians

and

Palestinians

by

the

radical

liberals

especially

since

so

much

precious

Israeli

blood

was

shed

to

gain

them

In

are

nomads

GREEKSPEAKING

JEWS

SHORTCHANGED

FOR

CENTURIES

BY

THE

NEW

FRAUDULENT

TRANSLATION

Many

people

are

totally

unaware

that

in

the

second

century

a

man

named

Aquila

produced

a

deliberately

fraudulent

translation

of

the

Old

Testament

in

an

effort

to

aid

the

rabbis

in

their

attempt

to

split

Jews

and

Messianic

Jews

Before

we

discuss

this

new

translation

perhaps

we

should

examine

the

character

of

the

man

who

produced

this

new

book

Aquila

who

is

mentioned

in

the

Talmud

was

born

a

pagan

yet

wanted

to

be

accepted

by

the

Messianic

Jewish

community

of

his

day

However

he

was

unable

to

forfeit

the

practice

of

astrology

which

was

strictly

forbidden

by

the

Old

and

New

Testaments

of

the

Bible

Deut

Isa

Acts

Because

Aquila

was

unable

to

wean

himself

from

this

demonic

counterfeit

prophetic

craft

the

believers

in

Jesus

refused

to

fellowship

with

him

Philip

Carrington

in

his

book

The

Early

Christian

Church

notes

This

is

all

introductory

to

the

story

of

AquilaHe

was

still

a

Gentile

but

he

was

deeply

impressed

by

the

Christian

teachers

whom

he

found

in

Jerusalem

and

asked

for

baptism

which

was

granted

Unfortunately

he

failed

to

renounce

his

interest

in

astrology

and

calculated

horoscopes

every

day

He

was

warned

by

the

Christian

teachers

but

persisted

in

his

error

Finally

he

was

excommunicated

Mortified

by

this

treatment

he

had

himself

enrolled

as

a

Jewish

proselyte

and

was

circumcised

He

devoted

himself

to

the

study

of

the

Hebrew

language

and

produced

his

new

translation

of

the

Old

Testament

with

AQUILA

THE

ASTROLOGERTHE

DEFECTOR

TAKES

HIS

PLANS

OF

REVENGE

AGAINST

THE

CHRISTIANS

TO

THE

RABBIS

It

is

quite

clear

what

Aquilas

motives

were

he

was

contemplating

revenge

on

the

Christian

community

for

not

accepting

him

along

with

his

deceptive

and

forbidden

craft

Thus

he

took

his

proposition

to

the

rabbis

who

were

anxious

to

hear

his

plan

to

further

widen

the

gap

between

Messianic

Jew

and

Jew

He

wanted

to

produce

a

new

translation

of

the

Scriptures

primarily

differing

only

in

the

Messianic

prophecies

In

effect

Aquila

said

Ill

show

you

how

to

get

rid

of

the

problem

of

these

repulsive

Christians

right

at

the

source

of

their

proofs

His

plan

was

to

retranslate

the

Messianic

prophecies

which

were

fulfilled

by

Jesus

These

prophecies

were

originally

predicted

thousands

of

years

ago

by

the

Hebrew

prophets

in

Hebrew

and

were

translated

to

Greek

more

than

two

hundred

and

fifty

years

before

Christ

The

original

translation

of

the

Bible

into

Greek

known

as

the

Septuagint

was

carried

out

by

seventy

rabbis

trying

to

reach

out

to

those

portions

of

Israeli

Jewry

and

Jews

in

the

Diaspora

who

could

not

read

Hebrew

This

Greek

Bible

was

held

in

high

esteem

until

the

time

of

Aquila

AD

and

in

fact

was

used

to

spread

the

Messianic

message

The

Messianic

Jews

would

show

traditional

Jews

the

Messianic

prophecies

in

the

Old

Testament

such

as

Isaiah

and

explain

the

events

which

had

transpired

in

Israel

proving

Jesus

fulfillment

of

prophecy

Many

were

becoming

believers

Realizing

this

Aquila

considered

these

Scriptures

dangerous

Thus

he

set

out

to

make

his

own

translation

intending

to

create

a

barrier

to

Messianic

understanding

of

the

Scriptures

He

deliberately

changed

the

wording

of

the

Messianic

prophecies

Aquila

altered

the

words

virgin

and

Christ

Messiah

as

illustrated

in

the

Septuagint

text

The

Greek

words

cristo

ChristMessiah

and

parqeno

virgin

were

removed

by

Aquila

in

a

new

fraudulent

translation

of

the

Greek

Old

Testament

He

did

this

under

the

direction

of

Rabbi

Akiva

one

of

if

not

the

most

antiChristian

rabbi

of

his

day

There

can

be

no

doubt

why

Aquila

and

Akiva

chose

to

change

these

two

key

words

with

regard

to

Messiah

They

did

not

want

people

to

be

reminded

that

Jesus

fulfilled

the

prophecy

according

to

a

fixed

timetable

given

by

Daniel

Aquila

removed

the

word

Messiah

When

the

New

Testament

recorded

the

virgin

birth

of

Jesus

Aquila

and

Akiva

thought

it

convenient

to

change

Isaiahs

word

which

the

Septuagint

had

previously

translated

quite

a

while

before

the

birth

of

Jesus

as

parthenos

virgin

to

neanis

which

only

means

young

woman

THE

IN

Reverend

M

Abrahams

in

his

book

Aquilas

Greek

Version

of

the

Hebrew

Bible

elaborates

on

this

when

he

tells

us

we

know

from

Justin

Martyr

that

the

Jews

Jewish

leaders

of

Yavne

of

the

first

half

of

the

second

century

strongly

objected

to

the

Septuagint

rendering

of

the

passage

The

Jews

certain

rabbis

of

Yavne

maintained

that

the

correct

translation

of

almah

was

not

parthenos

but

neanis

not

virgin

but

young

womanmy

point

is

that

the

very

word

neanis

is

the

one

chosen

by

Aquila

and

this

fact

explains

why

on

the

one

hand

the

Emperor

JustinianChristian

as

he

waspreferred

the

Septuagint

while

the

Jews

of

his

day

were

fonder

of

It

is

interesting

to

note

that

Aquilas

rendering

of

Isaiah

been

adopted

in

the

new

Jewish

Version

recently

published

in

AmericaEpiphanius

in

fact

asserts

that

the

sole

purpose

of

Aquila

was

precisely

to

introduce

these

variations

So

too

with

Irenaeus

In

his

Treatise

against

Heresies

written

about

the

year

he

devotes

the

whole

of

the

twentyfirst

chapter

of

Book

III

towhat

he

calls

the

misinterpretation

of

Isaiah

by

Theodotion

of

Ephesus

and

Aquila

of

Pontus

both

as

Irenaeus

says

proselytes

to

Judaism

Against

the

play

argument

that

the

made

in

After

was

done

within

WORDS

AND

OUT

GREEK

Reverend

M

Abrahams

further

notes

There

were

phrases

in

the

Septuagint

which

Jews

came

to

dislike

Two

instances

of

this

must

suffice

The

first

instance

is

general

the

second

particular

The

general

instance

concerns

the

word

Christos

which

merely

comes

from

a

Greek

verb

meaning

to

anoint

and

thus

corresponds

to

the

Hebrew

verb

jvm

which

has

the

same

sense

The

Greek

word

Christos

like

the

Hebrew

equivalent

jyvm

Messiah

literally

denotes

anointed

In

the

Septuagint

the

Hebrew

jyvm

is

quite

correctly

rendered

Christos

Thus

in

Daniel

ix

the

word

jyvm

is

rendered

Christos

where

the

Authorized

English

Version

has

the

anointed

oneBut

in

the

New

Testament

Christos

or

Christ

was

used

as

a

personal

name

for

the

Messiah

We

can

realise

that

Jews

would

dislike

a

translation

in

which

the

word

Christos

occurred

at

all

In

Aquilas

Version

the

word

is

altogether

avoided

It

is

also

significant

that

whereas

the

Septuagint

mostly

renders

the

Hebrew

name

Joshua

by

Jesus

Aquila

carefully

abstains

from

so

doing

although

among

Greek

Jews

Jesus

must

have

been

a

fairly

common

personal

name

Thus

after

considerable

of

the

desired

began

to

take

Messianic

would

to

who

were

look

This

dealt

a

terrible

blow

to

the

understanding

of

Messianic

biblical

truths

during

that

age

and

ages

It

is

clear

Aquila

wanted

out

of

spite

and

revenge

to

make

sure

no

one

else

became

interested

in

the

Messianic

Christian

faith

as

he

once

had

So

he

did

everything

in

his

power

to

hinder

the

biblical

movement

of

Messianic

Jews

by

making

a

new

biased

translation

of

the

Holy

Scriptures

He

maintained

his

version

was

more

literal

and

accurate

He

wrote

his

Greek

directly

over

the

original

Hebrew

which

few

Diaspora

Jews

could

even

read

with

understanding

However

even

today

The

In

Translation

of

the

Bible

in

the

series

Jerusalem

to

Jabneh

The

Period

of

the

Mishnah

and

its

LiteratureUnits

it

is

documented

that

the

rabbis

of

Yavne

succeeded

in

spreading

this

faulty

translation

of

the

Old

Testament

which

Aquila

had

produced

throughout

the

entire

Diaspora

to

Jews

everywhere

in

the

Greekspeaking

world

of

that

time

You

can

see

our

point

in

the

following

documentation

which

includes

an

impressive

quote

from

G

Alons

book

A

History

of

the

Jews

We

can

find

evidence

of

the

Sages

concern

for

the

Hellenistic

Diaspora

in

yet

another

area

They

saw

to

it

that

the

Torah

was

translated

into

Greek

once

again

the

much

earlier

Septuagint

version

being

considered

inaccurate

This

translation

was

made

in

the

beginning

of

the

reign

of

Hadrian

c

CE

by

the

famous

convert

Aquila

from

Pontus

under

the

direction

of

R

Eliezer

R

Joshua

ben

Hanania

and

R

Akiva

What

was

the

reason

for

this

new

translation

According

to

G

Allon

this

translation

was

aimed

at

the

HellenisticRoman

Diaspora

The

Sages

wanted

to

give

them

a

Greek

version

that

would

accord

with

the

Massoretic

Bible

as

decided

upon

by

the

Sages

at

Jabneh

The

Septuagint

by

contrast

was

quite

far

from

the

Palestinian

Hebrew

Bible

It

is

also

possible

that

the

Sages

wanted

to

word

the

new

Greek

version

in

such

a

way

as

to

preclude

Christological

references

which

were

based

on

the

lxx

The

fragments

and

quotes

from

the

Aquila

version

in

our

possession

show

that

faithfulness

to

the

Massoretic

Bible

outweighed

considerations

of

Greek

style

and

syntax

Sometimes

the

translation

is

based

on

midrash

exegesis

which

resulted

in

strange

Greek

forms

At

any

rate

we

have

much

evidence

that

the

sages

of

Jabneh

succeeded

in

making

the

Aquila

version

available

to

the

entire

Diaspora

though

it

did

not

supplant

the

lxx

entirely

The

article

mentioned

that

Aquila

had

a

close

relationship

with

the

Rabban

Gamaliel

of

Jabneh

and

we

all

know

how

much

Gamaliel

hated

JewishChristians

He

found

the

perfect

henchman

in

the

person

of

Aquila

THE

ONLY

POSSIBLE

CONCLUSION

A

TRAITOR

BETRAYS

THE

JEWS

OUT

OF

THEIR

PROPHESIED

MESSIAH

It

is

surprising

to

us

that

a

person

who

created

a

fraudulent

translation

with

the

express

purpose

of

deceiving

the

Greekspeaking

populace

could

be

a

favorite

personage

of

Jewish

tradition

and

legend

As

The

Jewish

Encyclopedia

says

of

Aquila

In

Rabbinical

Literature

Aquila

the

Proselyte

rgh

lyq

and

his

work

are

familiar

to

the

TalmudicMidrashic

literature

While

the

Seventy

and

their

production

are

almost

completely

ignored

by

rabbinical

sources

Aquila

is

a

favorite

personage

in

Jewish

tradition

and

legend

As

historical

the

following

may

be

considered

Aquila

the

Proselyte

translated

the

Torah

that

is

the

whole

of

Scripture

in

the

presence

of

R

Eliezer

and

R

Joshua

who

praised

him

and

said

in

the

words

of

Ps

xlv

AV

Thou

art

fairer

than

the

children

of

men

grace

is

poured

into

thy

lips

therefore

God

hath

blessed

thee

forever

This

contains

a

play

upon

the

Hebrew

word

Yafyafita

Thou

art

fairer

and

the

common

designation

of

Greek

as

the

language

of

Japhet

Yer

Meg

i

c

Hopefully

now

that

we

have

exposed

what

this

man

has

done

to

the

Jewish

people

the

world

including

the

rabbinical

community

will

reconsider

and

think

of

Aquila

as

not

fairer

than

the

children

of

men

as

past

rabbis

have

claimed

but

rather

as

a

spiteful

charlatan

who

deliberately

deceived

Jews

with

respect

to

their

Messiah

and

the

prophecies

He

fulfilled

THE

POWER

OF

THE

NEW

TESTAMENT

CAUSED

FEAR

AMONG

THE

RABBIS

Was

the

New

Testament

so

powerful

a

tool

in

the

first

century

that

it

evoked

immense

fear

among

the

rabbis

Were

the

rabbis

alarmed

at

its

wide

distribution

among

the

common

Jews

The

answer

is

an

unequivocal

yes

The

translation

of

this

passage

as

given

by

Prof

Moore

reads

who

books

as

inference

which

Prof

Moore

draws

from

these

premises

is

that

the

attempt

to

define

was

dictated

by

Modern

English

derives

the

words

and

from

Why

was

elaborates

on

this

of

the

abuse

of

in

History

It

is

only

after

that

we

can

begin

to

talk

about

normative

Judaism

and

of

deviations

from

the

norm

in

the

days

of

the

Second

Temple

there

was

a

much

greater

variety

of

Jewish

religious

life

and

practice

and

no

one

form

could

claim

to

represent

the

standard

by

which

others

were

to

be

judged

When

the

rabbis

of

Jamnia

discussed

the

recognition

of

canonical

books

and

the

rejection

of

others

one

group

to

which

they

paid

attention

was

the

books

of

the

minim

These

contained

the

name

of

God

and

yet

their

contents

were

unacceptableit

is

unlikely

that

the

idea

of

extending

canonical

recognition

to

the

Christian

books

was

seriously

entertained

they

were

only

to

be

condemned

ago

where

you

had

Jews

accepting

Jesus

so

why

cant

it

work

today

How

do

you

answer

that

question

Someone

in

the

group

answered

They

didnt

accept

Jesus

years

ago

either

The

My

friend

Dan

Levine

who

introduced

himself

to

Rabbi

Lewis

as

a

Messianic

Jew

of

the

New

Testament

then

commented

I

was

also

noticing

reading

in

Acts

that

there

were

myriads

ten

thousands

of

Jewish

people

in

Jerusalem

who

believed

in

Yeshua

and

observed

Torah

law

Lewis

answered

sharply

Its

propaganda

Do

you

believe

everything

that

comes

out

of

Russia

Of

course

not

By

the

way

when

the

rabbi

said

by

your

own

admission

he

never

gave

me

a

chance

to

answer

He

cut

me

off

with

his

answer

to

my

question

as

he

did

my

friend

Dan

Though

Peter

had

less

success

than

Paul

because

the

world

contains

many

more

nonJews

than

Jews

Peter

succeeded

greatly

as

Dan

pointed

out

before

he

was

rudely

cut

off

by

Rabbi

Lewis

remark

THOUGH

THE

SCRIBES

DECORATED

THE

TOMBS

OF

THE

PROPHETS

MODERN

RABBIS

HAVE

IGNORED

THOSE

OF

THE

JEWISH

BELIEVERS

BUT

NOW

DUE

TO

A

RECENT

ARCHAEOLOGICAL

DISCOVERY

THEY

NO

LONGER

CAN

We

now

ask

Rabbi

Lewis

Do

you

believe

whats

coming

out

of

the

Golan

Heights

in

archaeological

discoveries

in

Israel

eleven

years

after

the

fact

In

another

seminar

held

in

January

and

February

of

Lewis

reiterated

his

point

that

Jews

of

years

ago

never

believed

emphasizing

that

Jews

disappear

within

one

generation

after

accepting

Jesus

As

we

will

see

Jewish

believers

existed

for

over

three

hundred

years

in

the

fourth

century

until

they

were

completely

shut

out

by

the

rabbis

This

is

substantiated

by

a

popular

Israeli

magazine

The

tombstones

of

Jewish

believers

in

Jesus

have

been

discovered

at

the

base

of

the

Mount

of

Olives

They

were

identifiable

from

the

Jewish

symbols

and

Christian

inscriptions

in

Greek

and

Hebrew

and

are

now

located

in

the

Basilica

of

Dominus

Flevit

Franciscan

Recently

Biblical

Archaeological

Review

featured

an

interesting

article

about

the

tombs

of

such

believers

They

existed

whether

todays

rabbis

want

to

admit

it

or

not

The

ancient

Israeli

towns

of

Anea

and

Yettra

were

whole

cities

composed

almost

completely

of

Jewish

believers

in

Jesus

The

rabbis

of

that

era

called

the

town

of

Bainah

an

engulfed

town

because

the

majority

of

its

population

were

Jewish

Christians

More

recently

an

article

entitled

Filling

in

the

Blanks

by

Abraham

Rabinovich

reported

French

archaeologist

Claudine

Dauphine

discovered

that

in

addition

to

Jews

and

Christians

there

were

Jewish

Christians

on

the

Golan

In

villages

like

Farj

and

ErRamthaniyeh

she

found

stones

that

were

carved

with

symbols

belonging

to

both

religions

such

as

a

lulav

palm

branch

fish

or

ship

and

symbols

associated

specifically

with

Christian

Jews

such

as

a

cross

superimposed

on

a

ships

mast

In

CE

after

the

death

of

James

Jesus

brother

the

Jewish

Christian

followers

of

James

left

Jerusalem

for

Pella

in

Transjordan

They

subsequently

moved

northward

to

the

Bashan

and

eastern

Golan

Two

major

groups

were

the

Ebionites

and

the

Nazarenes

Both

clung

to

Jewish

practices

such

as

circumcision

and

Sabbath

observance

but

regarded

Jesus

as

the

MessiahDauphine

believes

she

has

found

Ebionite

remains

from

as

late

as

the

fourth

century

on

the

Golan

It

is

the

first

time

she

says

that

ancient

carvings

were

found

with

Jewish

and

Christian

symbols

overlaid

not

just

beside

each

other

negating

the

possibility

that

they

may

have

been

carved

at

times

by

different

peoples

THE

HEBREW

COVERUP

OF

THE

APOCALYPTIC

BOOKS

Humanity

is

posed

with

an

interesting

question

Why

did

the

leaders

of

the

very

people

who

wrote

the

apocalyptic

literature

want

to

cover

them

up

We

also

ask

why

Jews

have

not

had

an

apocalyptic

endtime

teaching

within

mainstream

Judaism

for

the

last

nineteen

centuries

While

there

is

ample

teaching

in

the

Bible

for

the

Jews

to

look

forward

to

the

apocalyptic

signs

of

the

end

as

witnessed

by

this

book

the

Baptist

Church

and

Dallas

Theological

Seminary

teachings

on

the

Old

Testament

there

is

no

significant

emphasis

on

these

exciting

hopes

at

all

within

Orthodox

or

Conservative

Judaism

throughout

the

world

The

only

small

exception

to

this

rule

lies

within

a

few

hard

to

find

works

noted

in

some

of

the

writings

of

obscure

rabbis

which

are

mainly

glossed

over

in

the

Diaspora

It

is

much

easier

to

locate

rabbis

who

are

willing

to

discuss

the

subject

of

the

sooncoming

apocalypse

based

on

biblical

writings

in

Israel

as

I

have

done

They

even

have

a

library

which

specializes

in

the

subject

called

the

Rav

Cook

Library

of

Jerusalem

However

every

rabbi

I

questioned

in

the

US

said

We

do

not

emphasize

any

such

teaching

or

We

live

for

today

If

the

Messiah

comes

He

comes

We

dont

dwell

on

it

The

Lubavitchers

may

be

fanatical

about

it

but

thats

outside

of

normative

mainstream

Judaism

Thus

we

ask

Could

ignoring

the

Hebrew

apocalyptic

writings

be

an

added

component

of

the

historical

rabbinical

conspiracy

to

keep

the

Jew

from

becoming

interested

in

the

Messiah

thus

possibly

discovering

His

true

identity

Jesus

Robert

H

Pfeiffer

of

Harvard

and

Boston

Universities

in

his

book

History

of

New

Testament

Times

tells

us

Normative

Judaism

relinquished

the

utopian

dreams

of

apocalyptic

writings

to

the

Christians

and

retrenched

itself

increasingly

within

the

citadel

of

the

written

and

the

oral

law

thus

separating

itself

more

and

more

from

the

Gentiles

The

final

break

between

the

Christian

Church

and

the

synagogue

took

place

at

this

time

when

the

Nazarenes

a

JewishChristian

group

worshiping

in

the

synagogues

but

teaching

that

Jesus

was

the

Messiah

were

forced

to

become

a

sect

equally

repudiated

by

the

Rabbis

and

by

the

Bishops

Henceforth

the

teachers

of

the

Law

scribes

and

Pharisees

Amoraim

ORIGINALS

D

S

Russell

author

of

The

Method

Message

of

Jewish

Apocalyptic

informs

us

L

Ginzberg

has

pointed

out

that

in

the

entire

rabbinic

literature

of

the

first

six

centuries

there

is

not

a

single

quotation

from

the

extant

apocalyptic

literature

because

of

this

it

has

sometimes

been

too

readily

assumed

that

rabbinic

Judaism

would

have

nothing

whatever

to

do

with

the

teaching

and

ideals

contained

in

these

books

C

C

Torrey

for

example

affirms

that

from

AD

onwards

so

great

was

the

devotion

of

the

Jewish

leaders

to

the

Law

and

the

sacred

Scriptures

the

decision

was

taken

to

destroy

as

undesirable

all

the

Semitic

originals

of

the

outside

books

Russell

goes

on

to

say

the

very

fanaticism

of

the

apocalyptists

would

in

itself

be

a

warning

to

the

rabbis

of

the

dangers

inherent

in

such

teachingsThus

they

were

a

challenge

both

to

rabbinic

authority

and

to

the

safety

of

the

State

Another

and

perhaps

decisive

factor

in

the

decline

of

apocalyptic

would

be

the

rapid

growth

of

Christianity

and

the

adoption

and

adaptation

by

the

Church

of

many

Jewish

apocalyptic

writings

whose

messianic

and

eschatological

teachings

were

eminently

suitable

for

the

purpose

of

Christian

propagandaWith

the

return

of

more

peaceful

times

the

original

Hebrew

of

PRAY

To

our

comments

regarding

all

of

the

attempts

to

destroy

and

cover

up

certain

original

apocalyptic

writings

dealing

with

predicted

future

events

we

would

like

to

ask

you

a

question

Could

all

the

talk

about

the

burning

of

the

New

Testament

by

rabbis

such

as

Meir

Akiva

Jose

and

Tarphon

have

been

connected

with

the

destruction

of

these

writings

If

the

New

Testament

was

hunted

down

and

destroyed

in

its

original

Hebrew

editions

could

this

be

the

reason

why

we

have

been

unable

as

of

yet

to

discover

the

original

Hebrew

New

Testament

which

is

the

question

of

the

century

Fragments

of

an

original

document

have

been

found

and

many

wait

for

the

original

Hebrew

New

Testament

to

reappear

from

archaeological

excavations

in

Israel

Such

a

find

would

impress

a

new

openness

to

Jesus

upon

many

Israeli

rabbis

eyes

see

our

appendix

All

We

urge

all

true

believers

to

pray

that

we

soon

discover

A

CASE

OF

MISTAKEN

IDENTITY

YESHU

WHO

You

have

probably

heard

many

people

ask

Whats

in

a

name

You

may

have

shrugged

your

shoulders

and

agreed

You

are

right

nothing

In

reality

nothing

could

be

further

from

the

truth

A

name

can

contain

incredible

blessings

or

horrendous

incantations

In

our

case

we

are

dealing

with

the

greatest

name

known

in

history

which

was

mutilated

by

the

early

rabbis

through

the

removal

of

the

last

letter

In

order

to

obscure

its

true

meaning

they

attempted

to

transform

the

greatest

name

into

the

worst

curse

As

previously

noted

Jesus

given

name

was

Yeshua

salvation

The

rabbis

changed

it

to

Yeshu

an

anagram

of

wrkzw

wmv

jmy

wvy

ymah

shemo

vezihro

Yeshu

The

only

difference

in

the

two

words

in

Hebrew

is

the

soft

au

pronounced

at

the

end

This

may

sound

strange

to

those

unfamiliar

with

the

Hebrew

language

All

Hebrew

words

stem

from

roots

usually

containing

three

letters

Each

consonant

has

eleven

vowel

sounds

The

words

built

from

the

roots

are

changed

by

adding

prefixes

and

suffixes

and

changing

the

vowel

sounds

A

minor

change

can

completely

alter

the

meaning

of

a

word

The

words

neshek

and

nesheka

are

an

example

The

word

nesheka

with

the

soft

a

sound

means

kiss

in

Hebrew

The

word

neshek

without

the

soft

a

sound

means

weapon

By

exploiting

this

linguistic

device

the

rabbis

tried

to

change

the

blessing

of

our

salvation

into

a

curse

since

the

literal

meaning

of

ymah

shemo

vezihro

is

may

his

name

and

memory

be

blotted

out

In

the

Hebrew

culture

this

is

the

worst

curse

that

can

befall

any

man

Changing

Jesus

Hebrew

name

Yeshua

salvation

to

the

curse

Yeshu

is

no

doubt

one

of

the

worst

rabbinic

crimes

ever

committed

in

human

history

May

they

apologize

REDISCOVERING

THE

HEBREW

NAME

OF

JESUS

AFTER

TWO

MILLENNIA

OF

SCANDAL

So

whats

in

a

name

Today

we

are

rediscovering

Jesus

true

Hebrew

name

after

twenty

centuries

of

rabbinic

coverupa

name

which

surprisingly

is

still

a

secret

to

many

in

Israel

Quite

a

few

modern

Israelis

are

unaware

of

the

true

meaning

of

Yeshu

They

do

not

know

that

this

acronym

formulated

by

the

rabbis

in

the

early

centuries

after

Jesus

really

means

let

His

name

and

memory

be

blotted

out

They

think

it

is

the

true

name

of

Jesus

Thus

the

rabbis

have

deceived

nearly

all

of

Israel

from

the

first

century

to

the

present

day

with

this

false

acronym

Some

rabbis

ashamed

of

what

earlier

ones

did

with

the

first

three

letters

of

Jesus

name

try

to

deny

the

true

meaning

of

these

letters

For

instance

the

noted

authority

Professor

Joseph

Klausner

is

one

of

those

who

denies

this

However

the

modern

Hebrew

dictionary

used

in

Israel

compiled

by

Abraham

EvenSoshan

defines

these

three

letters

ude

y

shin

v

and

vav

w

as

standing

for

y

jmy

ymah

it

will

be

blotted

out

v

wmv

shemo

his

name

w

wrkzw

vezihro

and

his

memory

Israel

like

all

other

nations

of

the

world

has

the

right

to

know

the

true

name

of

Jesus

whether

the

religious

like

it

or

not

Especially

since

Jesus

name

is

the

Hebrew

name

Joshua

Yeshua

or

Yehoshua

in

Hebrew

It

is

ironic

that

the

nations

of

the

earth

generally

know

when

and

why

Jesus

came

while

it

is

forbidden

for

Israelis

to

look

into

it

according

to

the

religious

minority

Are

we

going

to

let

the

Black

Hats

two

or

three

percent

of

the

population

push

Israel

around

Many

say

no

Israel

can

make

up

its

own

mind

after

investigating

these

long

hidden

facts

about

the

concealment

of

Jesus

Hebrew

name

DR

KACS

CONFIRMATION

OF

THE

ABBREVIATION

Additional

evidence

that

this

abbreviated

name

Yeshu

was

intended

to

be

a

curse

has

been

documented

by

the

Jewish

scholar

Dr

Arthur

Kac

who

believes

in

Jesus

He

tells

us

There

was

a

time

when

the

name

of

Jesus

was

never

mentioned

by

Jews

except

in

derision

One

who

wanted

to

refer

to

Him

used

circumlocution

such

as

oto

ish

this

man

or

ish

ploni

the

unnamed

one

It

became

customary

to

alter

His

name

by

omitting

one

Hebrew

letter

Thus

the

name

Yeshua

became

Yeshu

which

was

meant

to

represent

an

anagram

for

a

malediction

According

to

a

scurrilous

parody

of

Jesus

life

a

medieval

tale

fabricated

to

dishonor

the

mother

of

Jesus

and

to

declare

Him

a

bastard

His

real

name

was

Yehoshua

but

when

His

origin

became

known

it

was

altered

to

Yeshu

Dr

Kacs

footnote

to

malediction

reads

Yeshu

was

supposed

to

stand

for

his

name

and

memory

be

blotted

out

AN

ISOLATED

ISRAELIS

REDISCOVERYPERSONAL

TESTIMONY

I

have

had

the

opportunity

to

show

many

Israelis

what

this

name

really

means

For

quite

a

while

I

carried

a

photocopy

of

the

Hebrew

dictionary

documentation

around

in

my

briefcase

On

many

occasions

when

I

would

speak

to

them

about

Yeshua

Jesus

and

point

out

the

various

prophecies

they

would

say

Oh

you

mean

Yeshu

I

would

reply

No

I

mean

Yeshua

His

real

name

This

would

confuse

them

so

I

would

pull

the

photocopy

out

of

my

briefcase

for

them

to

read

They

would

then

say

Oh

no

thats

a

curse

and

a

very

wicked

one

at

that

or

something

similar

Each

time

I

used

the

documented

proof

of

what

the

name

Yeshu

was

intended

to

mean

to

inform

my

Israeli

friends

of

what

they

had

been

falsely

taught

they

never

again

ever

referred

to

Jesus

as

Yeshu

but

rather

Yeshua

which

as

we

now

know

in

Hebrew

means

salvation

or

more

precisely

Jehova

RESTORATION

INSIGHT

TO

BIBLE

TEXT

AND

CONTEXT

Interestingly

enough

the

Hebrew

letter

ine

which

the

rabbis

removed

is

the

symbol

for

sight

in

Hebrew

The

Hebrew

word

for

eye

is

ine

In

Hebrew

symbology

they

are

in

a

sense

deliberately

blinding

themselves

to

the

true

meaning

of

the

word

by

removing

the

letter

for

sight

When

we

restore

the

last

letter

ine

the

true

meaning

Yeshua

Jesus

Gods

Messiah

Savior

returns

and

the

falseness

of

the

curse

falls

away

The

fact

that

Jesus

was

named

wvy

Yeshua

after

Joshua

see

Neh

in

the

Hebrew

Bible

for

the

same

spelling

is

even

more

symbolic

here

Matthew

the

author

of

the

book

of

the

New

clearly

illustrates

the

intention

and

meaning

in

the

of

words

thou

ISRAELIS

REVERSE

THE

CURSE

AND

DENOUNCE

RABBINIC

DECEPTION

When

Israelis

are

shown

Messianic

prophecies

like

Isaiah

Micah

and

Zechariah

they

realize

that

they

can

not

in

good

conscience

refer

to

their

Messiah

in

this

way

suspecting

that

one

day

they

may

very

well

stand

before

Him

If

Jesus

is

the

Messiah

they

do

not

want

to

continue

using

a

curse

to

describe

Him

After

realizing

what

it

means

they

become

more

sympathetic

with

the

life

and

person

of

Jesus

and

curiosity

causes

many

to

open

their

Bible

and

see

who

He

really

is

Once

they

I

the

of

he

that

followeth

me

shall

not

walk

in

darkness

but

shall

have

the

light

of

life

John

KJV

This

was

foretold

seven

hundred

years

before

His

birth

within

the

Jewish

prophetic

writings

of

Isaiah

And

now

says

the

Lord

who

formed

Me

from

the

womb

to

be

His

Servant

To

bring

Jacob

back

to

Him

in

order

that

Israel

might

be

gathered

to

Him

For

I

am

honored

in

the

sight

of

the

Lord

And

My

God

is

My

strength

He

says

It

is

too

small

a

thing

that

You

should

be

My

Servant

To

raise

up

the

tribes

of

Jacob

and

to

restore

the

preserved

ones

of

Israel

I

will

also

make

You

a

light

of

the

nations

So

that

My

salvation

may

reach

to

the

end

of

the

earth

Thus

says

the

Lord

the

Redeemer

of

Israel

and

its

Holy

One

To

the

despised

One

To

the

One

abhorred

by

the

nation

To

the

Servant

of

rulers

Kings

shall

see

and

arise

Princes

shall

also

bow

down

Because

of

the

Lord

who

is

faithful

the

Holy

One

of

Israel

who

has

chosen

You

Thus

says

the

Lord

In

a

favorable

time

I

have

answered

You

And

in

a

day

of

salvation

I

have

helped

You

And

I

will

keep

You

and

give

You

for

a

covenant

of

the

people

To

restore

the

land

to

make

them

inherit

desolate

heritages

Thus

many

Israelis

after

all

that

has

been

hidden

have

pages

become

indifferent

to

begin

to

study

own

to

out

what

it

really

says

about

the

A

UNMOVED

Anyone

outside

of

Israel

and

rabbinical

circles

who

does

not

know

Hebrew

has

probably

never

heard

the

word

Yeshu

This

name

is

virtually

unknown

with

the

exception

of

a

few

Englishspeaking

American

Canadian

and

European

Orthodox

Jewish

groups

which

use

this

name

in

the

Diaspora

form

of

Yesheka

It

sounds

worse

than

Yeshu

doesnt

it

Most

of

It

is

antimissionary

and

antiJews

campaign

which

is

into

of

orthodox

students

in

the

world

over

However

their

numbers

pale

when

compared

to

the

whole

of

world

Jewry

One

rabbi

told

me

that

there

are

many

more

Jews

for

Jesus

than

there

are

Jews

in

all

of

the

yeshivas

in

the

world

JESUS

NAME

IN

HEBREWWE

ARE

WINNING

In

the

first

century

the

rabbis

at

Yavne

changed

Jesus

Hebrew

name

from

Yeshua

to

Yeshu

and

nearly

all

rabbis

today

still

use

this

despicable

name

especially

in

Israel

It

is

worth

noting

that

not

only

does

the

Hebrew

edition

of

the

New

Testament

call

Jesus

Yeshua

Rabbi

Abarbanel

a

famous

Jewish

sage

who

did

not

believe

in

Jesus

him

Yeshua

Abarbanel

and

there

was

the

belief

in

Yeshua

that

the

sons

of

Adom

were

renewing

since

the

beginning

of

these

Scriptures

The

greatly

respected

sage

RambamMaimonides

of

nearly

years

ago

referred

to

Jesus

not

by

Yeshu

but

Yeshua

Risto

Santala

pointed

this

out

in

his

latest

book

Paul

The

Man

and

the

Teacher

In

the

Light

of

Jewish

Sources

when

he

said

It

is

worth

remembering

that

the

famous

mediaeval

scholar

Maimonides

wrote

the

name

of

Jesus

in

the

form

Yeshua

in

his

book

Hilkhot

Melakhim

So

do

Israeli

Messianic

Jews

in

order

to

avoid

the

secret

abuse

connected

with

the

shorter

form

Yeshu

May

his

name

and

memory

be

blotted

out

The

Orthodox

Jews

in

Israel

who

call

Jesus

Yeshu

may

not

be

aware

that

two

of

their

most

respected

sages

called

Jesus

by

His

true

name

Yeshua

If

the

Orthodox

Jews

were

made

aware

of

this

fact

then

quite

possibly

most

of

them

would

cease

to

persist

in

calling

Him

by

the

name

Yeshu

So

tell

them

However

in

spite

of

the

orthodox

religious

zeal

to

strike

the

true

name

of

Jesus

from

Israel

there

is

apparently

a

slow

but

growing

awareness

within

Israeli

culture

that

His

true

name

is

really

Yeshua

and

not

Yeshu

We

gather

this

from

Pinchas

Lapides

Jesus

where

that

at

could

several

If

we
