YHWH
IS NOT
GOD
THE
FATHER
No one has seen God at
any time; the only begot-
ten Son, the One being
into the bosom of the
Father, that One declared
Him. John 1:18 KJ3
Jesus said to him, I am the
Way, and the Truth, and
the Life. No one comes
to the Father except
through Me. John 14:6

BECAUSE THOSE DECLARATIONS
ARE NOT TRUE FOR YHWH
ELOHIM.
Jesus is a
revelation
John 5;39 LEB
You search the scrip-
tures because you
think that you have
eternal life in them,
and it is these that tes-
tify about me.
“
And turning to His dis-
ciples He said, "All
things have been deliv-
ered to Me by My
Father, and no one
knows who the Son is
except the Father, and
who the Father is
except the Son, and the
one to whom the Son
wills to reveal Him."
Luke 10:22 EMTV
Kingdom restoration
and YHWH TSEDEQ
Jeremiah 23:5-6 LEB
(5) "Look, days are coming," declares
Yahweh, "when I will raise up for
David a righteous branch, and he will
reign as king, and he will achieve suc-
cess, and he will do justice and right-
eousness in the land.
(6) In his days Judah will be saved,
and Israel will dwell in safety, and this
is his name by which he will be called:
'Yahweh is our righteousness [YHWH
TSEDEQ].'
(8) But to the Son He says: "Your
throne, O God, is forever and ever; a
scepter of righteousness is the
scepter of Your Kingdom. (9) You
have loved righteousness and hated
lawlessness; therefore God, Your God,
has anointed You with the oil of glad-
ness above Your companions." (10)
And: "You, LORD [YHWH], in the begin-
ning laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your
hands. Hebrews 1:8-10 EMTV
Jesus is the righteous branch
whose name is Yahweh our
righteousness.
(6) Therefore, when they had come
together, they asked Him, saying,
"Lord, will You at this time restore the
kingdom to Israel?" (7) And He said
to them, "It is not for you to know
times or seasons which the Father has
placed in His own authority. Acts 1:6-7

The Scriptures concern
Jesus only.
Even though Jesus said that the Old Testament is all
about Him (John 5:39), yet, no one can find Jesus in
the Old Testament if Jesus does not give us access
(Luke 10:22).
In bullet point, what does Luke 10:22 says?
•
no one knows who the Son is except the Father
•
and who the Father is except the Son,
•
and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.
This verse pierces understanding so deeply that many choose to spin the verb ‘to know’ into
other mazes of interpretation. It is acceptable in Judaism not to know who the Son is but the
Father? The Israelites knew well who the Father is. YHWH Elohim. It is not that the verb in the
sentence carries other definition. Rather, the verse compels us to seek to spiritually elevate our
hearts to understand Jesus and know who Jesus is since John 3:16 ties salvation to Jesus only.
YHWH Father does not need revelation from Jesus because He is all over the Scriptures
(Old Testament). Yet, Jesus says that both He and His Father is a revelation! Does it make sense
that the well-known ‘YHWH our Father’ before Jesus is the same ‘God the Father’ whom Jesus
says He (Jesus)is the only One Who made His (God the Father) existence known?
Wherefore David blessed Jehovah before all the assembly; and David said, Blessed be
thou, O Jehovah, the God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. (1 Chronicles 29:10
ASV)
For thou art our Father, though Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel doth not
acknowledge us: thou, O Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is thy
name. (Isaiah 63:16 ASV)
But now, O Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we
all are the work of thy hand. (Isaiah 64:8 ASV)
Luke 10:22 takes us to the realm of ‘you must be born again’ statement of Jesus to Nicodemus,
which was pure nonsense for Nicodemus. But Jesus made him understand that He was aiming
deeper into the spirituality of Judaism.
no one knows who the Son
is except the Father
So, the Lord Himself shall give you a sign. Behold,
the virgin will conceive and shall bring forth a son,
and they shall call His name Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14
MKJV)
The gospel of Matthew 1:23 cites Isaiah 7:14 to apply it to Jesus. Angel of YHWH did not tell Mary
to call the One to be born Immanuel. What is the scope of the parable (Psalms 78:2) in the
verse? Matthew 1:23 explains the meaning of Immanuel. Immanuel literally means “God with
us”. What does it mean in actuality?
We cannot take the phrase to its face value to mean that in general God is with us. To the Jews,
the phrase cannot mean a general sense of intangible protection because historically YHWH
God, from the beginning, had always been with the chosen people, whether in good or bad
terms. Thus, we have to look beyond the face value of the verse.
Jesus had asked the disciples “whom do men say me to be?” The Disciples touched and heard
Jesus, yet, Jesus did ask them who people think He is. They knew His name is Jesus. But, who is
Jesus? The question is still valid today and will still be valid tomorrow.
What does the parable mean?
Who is the God of Israel? His name is YHWH. From the foregoing, we must read the verse to
read “YHWH with us”. Therefore, Jesus is the actual YHWH only incarnated in flesh and blood,
not a Representative or an Ambassador of YHWH.
That is corroborated by the fact that Jesus said that He made known the true God to mankind,
the true God who commissioned Him to become flesh in order to redeem us. If you are thinking
straight, you know that you can make the unknown known. Jesus could not have made YHWH
God known to mankind. As a matter of fact, Jesus never paid attention or brought attention to
YHWH during all His ministry.
and who the Father is
except the Son
If YHWH God had been known as the Father, how can Jesus said that no one knows ‘who the
Father is except the Son’. How can Jesus say that only He knows who God the Father is? That
could not have sounded right with His compatriots.
Wherefore David blessed Jehovah before all the assembly; and David said, Blessed be
thou, O Jehovah, the God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. 1 Chronicles 29:10
ASV
For thou art our Father, though Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel doth not
acknowledge us: thou, O Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is thy
name. Isaiah 63:16 ASV
But now, O Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we
all are the work of thy hand. Isaiah 64:8 ASV)
The only conclusion from the declaration of Luke 10:22 is that God the Father Whom Jesus had
been talking about cannot be YHWH God. In fact, Jesus said that He is the One who made God
the Father known in Judaism because in John 17:6 the world did not know the Father.
I revealed Your name to the men whom You have given to Me out of the world. They were Yours,
and You have given them to Me; and they have kept Your Word. (John 17:6 KJ3)
(25) Righteous Father, indeed the world did not know You, but I have known You; and these
have known that You sent Me. (26) And I made known to them Your name, and will make it
known, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them. John 17:25-26 KJ3
Jesus made other declarations which make it clear that He is not referring to YHWH God as His
Father like in John 14:6 where He said that ‘No one comes to the Father except through me’.
Jesus can never say ‘no one comes to YAHWEH except through Me’. Abraham, Moses, the
Israelites got very close to YHWH when Jesus was not born. As such, YHWH CANNOT BE God the
Father of Jesus. Only Jesus can make you know who God the Father is (Luke 10:22).
and the one to whom the
Son wills to reveal Him
Has Jesus revealed Himself to you? Do you understand what Romans 10:9-10 and Philippians
2:9-11 is asking you?
If Jesus has revealed Himself to you, you will understand those passages and the reason for this
ministry which you must also minister to others.
Most importantly, our
salvation depends on
witnessing who Jesus is
beyond the basics
Romans 10:9-10 ISV (9) If you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord [YHWH], and believe in
your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (10) For one believes with his
heart and is justified, and declares with his mouth and is saved.
Philippians 2:9-11 ASV (9) Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name
which is above every name; (10) that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in
heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, (11) and that every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord [YHWH], to the glory of God the Father.
And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. Mark 7:7 EMTV
WHERE CAN WE FIND OUT ALL ABOUT JESUS?
You search the Scriptures, for you think in them you have everlasting life.
And they are the ones witnessing concerning Me. John 5:39 LITV. Luke 24:44
