Why Believers
Resist the True Name
Why is it that those are fervent in faith, believing the most unlikely dogmas without a questioning word (such as trinity, rapture, seven-year tribulation, immortal soul, queen of heaven, praying to the dead, etc.); YET why do some such grow suspicious when introduced to the true name(s)? And even when that wonderful name Yahweh soaks in, these same ones continue in paying homage to God, Adonai, Christ, Allah, Lord and many other Nephilim?
Shades of Purple, Spinning Heads, and the Great Parody of
Scripture
I always wondered why, as I employed the proper names of our Father from the pulpit, some long-time believers would turn shades of purple, roll their eyes up into their heads, stick out their tongues, make crude jokes. Evidently introducing the name YAH in any of its forms stirs up demons, especially spirits of idolatry, even in long-time Christians. Consider this following excerpt from the reliable Revised Standard Version (RSV) of the Scripture: Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD,
all Judah that are in the Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows. Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD,
all Judah that dwell in the (Note the italics, which are mine.) The passage is a parody of itself. Yahweh is saying that he will withhold the power of his name from occultists, and from this highly acclaimed English translation it is withheld ! What is that great name upon which the Father has sworn? Is it “Lorth” (LORD), from the Etruscan pantheon? Yet the RSV has been the very definition of accurate interpretation for believers and scholars for several generations.
Our Blessed Queen of Heaven
As for the passage itself, dare we lift it out of temporal setting and into the spiritual?
Yahweh says directly to men and women of Promises have been made to a deity and fulfilled all right. Candles and incense have been burned all right. Consecrated wine and other libations have been poured out all right. Yet all of this to honor the Queen of Heaven with the expectation of the tacit approval of Yahweh Elohim. Most readers already know the identity of the historical goddess known as Queen of Heaven, but let us allow the RSV commentator to remind us:
Of course the annotation is short for lack of space; but it is accurate. This is the RSV, remember? If we skip from the “early Syrian church” to The Church of today, we find that not much has changed, only been further ritualized, and the Queen becoming even more entrenched and identified in all Christian worship. (For instance) the opening litany of the Eastertide (read “Ishtartide”) is the anthem of the Blessed Virgin? This church calendar season purports to be remembering the Resurrection of Yahshua; however, the first litany proclaims the true object of worship:
Regina
coeli laetare, Alleluia, Quia quem meruisti
portare.

In 2000, the Calling evangelical churches “daughters” of the Queen stirred up a hornet’s nest among leaders of the evangelical (protestant) movement. “We are not daughters,” evangelicals cried out in protest in every form of public media.
“We demand you
call us sisters!” Cardinal Ratzinger replied, “No, you are daughters – and in almost every way mother and daughters are alike.” Of course, Cardinal Ratzinger is now Pope Benedict; and he is, as usual, absolutely right. (BTW, Ratzinger is now the Pope.)
The Queens of Heaven
Christians Ignorant and Afraid
After all, what is the big difference between Classical Roman Catholic worship and that of Mainline or even Evangelical? I don’t mean the dancing and hip hop music, I mean in the ritual and the calendar.
And in every one of these vast numbers of sanctuaries, the powerful name YHWH has been withheld from the understanding of the sons and daughters of the Egyptian / Babylonian Queen. And even when intellectually taught and proven, still Christians and Jews are simply not permitted to utter that name without consequences. Christians don’t know it (or are afraid of it); Jews say they don’t know it (or they say, “Nobody knows it”) and Evangelicals say that the Father has many names! Dummies say that you may call 'him' anything you want and he will hear you. Hymns in my hymn book even refer to this heresy: “Praising God of Many Names,” 104; “God of Many Names, 105. Yet Exodus 3:15 and a thousand other passages in Scripture proclaim: Elohim said to Moses, “You are to tell the Israelites, ‘Yahweh, the elohe of your ancestors … has sent me to you. This is my name for all time, and thus I am to be invoked for all generations to come.” In Zechariah’s prophecy (14:9) for our time, there is a note of what is to soon come and is indeed coming even now: And YAHWEH shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one YAHWEH, and his name one.
Coming Out of the Closet
Maybe a person has to “come out of the Queen” to receive the fullness and goodness of the One whose name is to be invoked forever. Maybe some need to come out so that they can go back in cleansed of the mystery of lawlessness through Scriptural Torah observance – through Scriptural imitation of Messiah rather than trying to be merely an imitation of an imitation through vows, Sabbath candles, libations and traditions. And doesn’t the word mistranslated “the church” in the Scripture actually mean “the called out”? This would be a good time for you scholars to once again read Beyond the Essene Hypothesis by Boccaccini. In my view, this is the best study to help us understand what being “called out” actually meant to Yahshua (Jesus) and his disciples.
