Those who trust in the name of the Yahuah are accused as 'Sacred name Movement'. Don't know where this name came and I don't mind being labelled for this is expected in such a time as this. I am filled with joy to suffer shame for his name sake.
Ac 5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
There are many out there who are ready to devour, mock, persecute but I seek refuge in the name of the YAHUAH and Alahim has given us a name.
Pr 18:10 ¶ The name of the YAHUAH(Yahuah) is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
Why is there a need to run to seek refuge in the name of the Yahuah?
Re 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Yes the beast has an image, a name and has a number in his name. If Satan has to counterfeit Messiah as an angel of light he has to make a look alike to lead multitudes astray and that's exactly what he has been doing for thousands of years and many are falling to him as a prey.
Alahim has an image, a name and a number in his name and this short study is to show you the true pattern and the counterfeit pattern Satan brings and will show on how dangerous ground one can be. I will make it short and to the point.
Image of Alahim: Col 1:15 Who (Yahusha) is the image of the invisible Alahim, the firstborn of every creature:
Name of Alahim: Ex 3:15 And Alahim said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The YAHUAH (Yahuah) Alahim (elohiym) of your fathers, the Alahim of Abraham, the Alahim of Isaac, and the Alahim of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
The number of his name: His people represented by a symbolic figure 144000 who bear his name
Re 14:1 ¶ And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2Ki 23:27 And the YAHUAH said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
2Ch 33:4 Also he built altars in the house of the YAHUAH, whereof the YAHUAH(Yahuah) had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
2Sa 7:13 He (Yahusha) shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
2Sa 7:13 He (Yahusha) shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
His people are called by HIS NAME
In the book of Jeremiah, Alahim gives his name both to the Messiah and to Jerusalem, the occupants. King and people share a common identity:
I shall raise up for David a righteous Branch. . . ;this is the name by which he will be called:
YHVH Tzidkeinu ["the YAHUAH our righteousness"]. (Jer 23:5, 6)
In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety;and this is the name by which she will be called: YHVH Tzidkeinu. (Jer 33:16)

In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety;and this is the name by which she will be called: YHVH Tzidkeinu. (Jer 33:16)
I have come in my Father's Name . . . [Father] I have manifested Your Name to those whom you have given to me." (John 5:43; 17:6)
Yahusha is derived from Yahuah which means 'Yahuah Saved' or ' Yahuah is my Salvation'. That's the name Alahim said would be memorial for all generations in Exo 3:15
2Co 5:21 For he hath made him (Yahusha) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of Alahim in him.
He is our Yahuah Tzidkeinu. But Satan has to come with a counterfeit and by coming as an angel of light he does it very deceitfully thus blaspheming his name. How does he do it? He subtly changes it to get all those calling on a name not derived or bearing the name of Yahuah. And that name is 'Iesous' a derivation of a Greek god 'Zeus'
Re 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against Alahim, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Just as Alahim has an image, name and number of his name Satan makes an counterfeit image, name and number of the name.
When he takes people into captivity he puts out their eyes and this can be seen from the picture of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon putting out the eyes of king Zedekiah the king of Judah and taking him and his people captive.
Jer 39:6 Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.
Zedekiah. Hebrew word: Tsidqiyah which means 'righteousness of Yahuah'
Are you able to see what all this means?
We just read in Jeremiah 23:5,6 and Jeremiah 33:16 that the name given to the Messiah and his people was YHVH Tzidkeinu and Satan counterfeits the name by changing it. THE SPIRITUAL EYES ARE PUT OUT.
A further eye opener. The name change can be seen with King of Babylon ( a type of Satan) placing Jehoiachin's father's brother on the throne and changing his name to ZEDEKIAH ( a false prophet bearing the name of the Yahuah) .Zedekiah was an evil man and Alahim caused Zedekiah to rebel against the king of Babylon leading him into captivity with his eyes put out.
2Ki 24:17 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
The king of Babylon has his man on the throne ruling Jerusalem. No one can escape Alahim's judgment. The eyes are put out so that those who follow false hood and take his name in vain fall backwards and dispersed in confusion. Alahim opens the eyes of his elect to see all this when they are in captivity. The ones they followed have no spiritual insights anymore. They are blinded to truth. They are following BAAL thinking that they are following the Messiah

Jer 23:27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
Baal means lord/master. Baal whom Jews later called as Baal Zebub which means 'lord of flies' and in Greek was renamed as 'Beelzeboul'. Now read what 'Yahusha' says
Mt 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
Re 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against Alahim, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Both Alahim's name and his tabernacle are blasphemed by those who bear the name given to them by the beast. We read in Jeremiah that both the Messiah and his temple Jerusalem are called by Alahim's name. This was a real eye opener to understand the reverence we need to give to Alahim's pattern. This shows that Alahim has a VALIDATION SIGNATURE in his name.
Those calling a name not given by Yahuah are actually calling 'the Master' (Yahusha) BAAL and doesn't Baal mean lord/master?
Satan knows that the scriptures teach that whosoever calls on the name of 'Yahusha' is saved so to deceive he brings in a counterfeit name from the whoredoms of Greece.
Ro 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Yahuah (Yahusha) shall be saved.
Joe 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the YAHUAH (YAHWEH) shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the YAHUAH hath said, and in the remnant whom the YAHUAH shall call.
One needs to have spiritual eyes to see how Satan changes times and laws of Alahim to deceive.
The name of the Yahuah(Yahuah) is a strong tower and the righteous run into it and they are safe. Those outside are the 'Zeus' worshipers because the name 'Yahusha' was derived from there and not from Yahuah.
Yahuah comes from the root word 'hayah' (Strongs 1901) which means 'to be/become'. if one understands the Oneness of Alahim and the 'Dividing asunder' (Luke 2:33-34 & Heb 4:12) by which we have a Son who came forth from Alahim's own bosom and see the name 'Yahuah' actually spells this act because the Existing One (Unknown) became our salvation (Known). He was invisible, now visible, intangible, now tangible and that is the name which he has given us which Satan changed and hence the whole essence of the gospel lost because we have now millions calling on a 'demi god' rather than the true and living Alahim.
Paul's spirit within him was stirred when he saw Athens (a Greek city) given wholly to idolatry. They even had an altar for the transcendent Alahim as 'TO THE UNKNOWN GOD' and Paul took this opportunity in preaching to them Yahusha making the transcendent Alahim known and the names 'Yahuah' and 'Yahusha' reveal Alahim's transcendence and his immanence.
Ac 17:16 ¶ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
Ac 17:22 ¶ Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
From this pagan Greek culture is come the name derived from Zeus which Satan has counterfeited.
