Mark Call is another one of those people who has crossed over (Hebrew). He has unique insight on Torah and the Constitution. He also has much to share on how to come out of your present economic state, stop allowing the government to be your God and how to get ready for the catastrophic events that are prophesied to come in the future. Get back to the obedience of the Ten Words and other instructions of Yahweh as written in the scripture by Yahshua. Mark’s new program will be streaming live at www.thejctown.com at 4 p.m. Pacific time each Thursday – “Come Out of Her My People.”

I have to say that I am happy to be able to serve a god who I can call Yah. After all, He is not only my god, but my friend, my Abba. Didnt Y’shua make a huge sacrifice so we can be intimate with the Father? Isnt hallelujah what is sung all around the world to this day? We have been in a box in traditional church for our entire lives – putting Yahweh also in that box. Thank Yah that we have broken out of that religious box and have the freedom to be close and intimate – and yes even chummy with him. For that matter, do we even really know if Yahweh is the correct pronunciation of Abba’s name? I just finished a great book, A Prayer to Our Father, by Nehemia Gordon and Keith Johnson. They are both very well-studied and well-read in the Hebrew texts. To their best estimation, Yehovah is the most likely pronunciation. The truth is we dont really know for sure how His name was/is actually pronounced. We may be right. We may be wrong. The point is that Yah knows our hearts and someday we will know how to pronounce His name. In the meantime, I am so happy to live in the freedom of intimacy and friendship with Abba that I can call him Yah and I know that He knows I am speaking of Him. I know this rocks the traditional christian church and yes it rocks the pharisees and the scribes. Can we just not pick on each others’ pronunciations or formalities or commonalities of pronunciation? This is an example of why the “church” is divided. Just love.
We are khaverim, right? 
Sorry, my comment was so much about right and wrong names and pronouciations, religiousiy or boxes; the purpose was to increase ones knowledge of a letterary style of the ancient texts. No where did I mention a correction to Jehovia.
Hallelujah. Yes is it written. It is a directive to praise YHVH or Yahwhey, or Yehovah. And again it is seen most often in psalsm. The pslams are written in poetic form of their day, and it’s about rythum of sylables of words not ryhming of words. I would not comment on what any person does in personal private prayer.
He didn’t give up His life for us to approach Him in anyway we wish. Its about the respect due a Great King. Intimacy with a Great King, even a King who is my Father, is gained and maintained through respect and honor. Intimacy does not give licence to disrepect or dishonor. Honor your father and mother; is a command; it gains long life, for the child and long close assicaton “imtimate” if you will in any relationship. Many a marriage went on the rocks for lack of respect and honor.
Names in the Hebrew scriptures are very important; that’s why we see so many. Each name has an essesnce a meaning that tells us something about that person, a place, or a thing. Words are very important, His words were used to create, redeem, and restore. He says our words also can do the same; we can tear down or lift up, we can illuminate, and give life.
Note who Yeshua spoke to and how. It’s one thing in private to speak very close words of affection, it’s quite another in corporate or in public. A son or daughter of a great noble may have very personal affectionate names in private for their father who’s a great king. However, in the company of the servants and pubic it would be quite different.
But more than anything this was about the use of Yah as we see it in scriptures as litterary style; the intent of the scriptures was not to show “intimacy” buy using a short version.
It was food for thought, a consideration; not a directive to you or a critisim of what someone does in private. In public we might consider how we use His name.
Respectfully,
Janice
Your arguments are reasonable and the greatest thing we can give each other as brothers and sisters in Messiah is grace. While King is gone, none of us has all the answers, nor will we. We rely on one another to have pieces that fit together. And where we don’t seem to fit, the Master will teach us with patience until we all have agreement – which will likely only happen during His reign. Short of that, there are only a few key issues that we all have to think the same on: Keeping His commandments as best we can know them and have the testimony of His blood redemption = Rev. 12:17
Janice I respect your comment.
We can see the name Yah in the Holy texts. When we understand that much of the text especially in Psalms are poems and that Israelite poetry was not about word rhyme but about rythum. The psalms were sung; they have movement – then we can begin to understand that the name Yah is not a “short version” or “nic name” of the Holy One of Israel. Remember He is the Creator, King of Kings, a King and there is protocal in addressing or speaking of a Great King. We do have praise and worship music that also uses “Yah” however, again it’s about how the syllables of words fit into the ryhme scheme. With our friendly American spirit; it’s easy to think using Yah means we have such a close association; we can use a short “chummy” name.
