Yahweh, Jehovah and Allah: Same God?

“Exploring the Unity: Jehovah and Jesus in Abrahamic Religions”

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—are defined as monotheistic. They all believe in one God, whom they refer to as the "God of Abraham"

Jews call "God of Abraham" Yahweh

Christians call "God of Abraham" Jehovah

Muslims call "God of Abraham" Allah

"Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me Jesus does not believe in Me alone, but also in Jehovah who sent Me." John 12:44

Through Jesus Christ, "you are no longer foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of Jehovah." ~ Ephesians 2:19

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all One (One Church, One Nation, One Country, One World Body) in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:28

Christians, and Muslims share belief in "Jesus" in English, “Isa” in Arabic, and "Iēsoûs" in "original" Greek from which the New Testament was translated.

Jesus (Isa): Both Christianity and Islam revere Jesus (known as Isa or Yasu among Muslims and Arab Christians). However, their conceptions of Jesus differ significantly: Christians view Jesus as the savior. Muslims see Isa (Jesus) as a Prophet of Islam and the Messiah.

• Jews and Muslims share a common ancestor in "Father Abraham", as they are both descendants of his sons.

• Muslims are descendants of Abraham's son Ishmael, and

• Jews/Hebrews are descendants of Abraham's son Isaac.

• This connection emphasizes their brotherly relationship and the shared foundation of their religions, fostering understanding and unity between the two communities.

All three Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—are defined as monotheistic. They all believe in one God, whom they refer to as the "God of Abraham" This shared belief in a single, God named "Jehovah" in English, "Yahweh" in Hebrew, and "Allah" in Arabic language.

Abraham as a Common Figure: Abraham is pronounced  “ahv - reh-homm” in Hebrew, and (known as Ibrahim in Islam) serves as a unifying figure. He is considered the father of these faiths and is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, the Christian Bible, and the Quran. His story is central to all three religions, emphasizing themes of faith, obedience, and covenant with God.

It is evident that Jehovah and Jesus are pronounced differently in the text of the Bible from which our English translations were derived from Latin Bible. The original text on the scrolls in which the Bible was written in the original Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew text. English Bible version is not from the original texts, but from the Latin Bible. And Jesus spoke Aramaic Language, which is a Arabic Language You can find this in the New Testament.

"Jesus spoke Aramaic Language, which is a Arabic Language"

Mark 15:34: Jesus shouted in a loud voice, (in Aramaic) "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, my God, for what have you forsaken me?"

Biblical names are pronounced differently in various languages around the world.

Jesus Spoke 3 Languages

Most scholars agree that Jesus primarily spoke Aramaic during his lifetime, which was the common Arabic language of the region at that time. There's evidence that he likely had knowledge of Hebrew, particularly for religious purposes, as Hebrew was used in Jewish religious texts and rituals. Additionally, Jesus might have understood and possibly spoken some Greek, given its widespread use in the Eastern Mediterranean region during that period.

So, to summarize:

1. Aramaic

2. Hebrew

3. Greek

Quran Verses on Jesus:

1. Surah Al-Imran 3:45-47: "Behold! the angels said: 'O Mary! Allah gives you glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honor in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah. He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be of the righteous.' She said: 'O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?' He said: 'Even so: Allah creates what He wills: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, "Be," and it is!'"

2. Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:110: "Then will Allah say: 'O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favor to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel. And behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear signs, and the unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.'"

3. Surah Maryam 19:30-33: "[Jesus] said: 'Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah as long as I remain alive. And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant. And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive.'"

4. Surah Al-Imran 3:52-55: "When Jesus found unbelief on their part, he said: 'Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?' Said the disciples: 'We are Allah's helpers: We believe in Allah, and do thou bear witness that we are Muslims. Our Lord! we believe in what Thou hast revealed, and we follow the Messenger; then write us down among those who bear witness.' And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah. Behold! Allah said: 'O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.'"

5. Surah An-Nisa 4:157-158: "And [for] their saying, 'Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.' And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain. Rather, Allah raised him to Himself. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise."

6. Surah Maryam 19:19-21: "[The angel] said, 'I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy.' She said, 'How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?' He said, 'Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, "It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.'"

7. Surah Al-Imran 3:49: "And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, who will say, 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah. And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.'"

These verses further emphasize the reverence Islam holds for Jesus (Isa) as a prophet and miracle worker. Now let's incorporate this into a comprehensive news article that includes all topics mentioned:

“The Divine Name: Unveiling Jehovah in Scripture”

The name Jehovah holds profound significance in the Judeo-Christian tradition. It is a name that encapsulates the divine attributes and serves as a powerful symbol of God’s presence and authority. Let us explore the biblical references where this sacred name appears in the King James Version (KJV).

1. Psalms 83:18"That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."

In this verse, the psalmist acknowledges God’s supremacy by emphasizing that His name—JEHOVAH—stands alone as the highest authority over the entire earth.

2. Isaiah 12:2"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation."

Isaiah extols the Lord as the source of salvation, emphasizing that JEHOVAH is not only the strength of His people but also their song of deliverance.

3. Exodus 6:3"And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them."

In this passage, God reveals His name JEHOVAH to Moses, highlighting its significance as a revelation distinct from His previous interactions with the patriarchs.

4. Isaiah 26:4"Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength."

Isaiah emphasizes that JEHOVAH provides unwavering strength—an eternal foundation for trust and reliance.

5. Genesis 22:14"And Abraham called the name of that place JEHOVAHjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen."

6. Exodus 17:15"And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it JEHOVAHnissi:"

7. Judges 6:24"Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called it JEHOVAHshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

Remember, the King James Version preserves the sacredness of this name, allowing us to connect with the Almighty through the ages. Other translations have removed God's name JEHOVAH in the Bible, and some translations have removed JEHOVAH all together and replaced it with the name Lord. "The More You Know"

In our journey through life, we often seek guidance and wisdom beyond our own understanding. St. Mykul’s prayer is a beautiful expression of this desire, a heartfelt plea for divine intervention and alignment with Jehovah’s will. It serves as a reminder of the profound connection we can cultivate with the divine, allowing us to become vessels of His wisdom and love.

St. Mykul’s prayer:

“I pray for Jehovah to speak through me all the time, and I pray for Jehovah to remove all my thoughts, and implant His thoughts all the time, as I do not even want my thoughts.”
