The Shem

-

Someone is calling a name that is not your name, and that someone is directly looking at you? How will you respond? Conversely, someone is calling your name, but that someone is not looking at you? How will you respond? Or, will you even respond?

If someone is looking at you, and calling you by your name, in all likelihood you will respond. Energy is directed in focus by addressing the proper name. It is essential and outright indispensable to receiving a response. On that account, we garnered the vibration and frequency that is imperative for effective communication. That is nature. Even animals communicate on the frequency and the vibration that each specie was made to adapt. A cat will not understand a dog and vice versa. Humans have no understanding of the myriad in animal utterances. Even humans are separated by the language barrier, but the verbal connection is not the only means, there were claims of reality in telepathic communication.  Maybe, there is value in seeking the right frequency and vibration to express ourselves, verbally or otherwise, through the resonance of feelings, generated by the subconscious which stores our inner intentions

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration”. - Nicola Tesla


In the spiritual sense, we impart our intention by resonating it through prayer. If prayer is the vibration of the inner thoughts and desire that aims towards the divine, how near are those prayers to GOD's frequency and vibration? How well does the prayer address him? Are the prayers directed to his real name?

The 10 commandments include the phrase" thou shall not use the name of your GOD in vain". But what is the name of your GOD? If you are a firm believer, you would want to know, not only because you do not want to disobey, but also to know him well. So what really is the name of the Messiah?

Jesus is recognized to be the name of the Messiah. It is in the bible. But would you believe that the bible was adjusted to fit tradition and language discordance? Traditions in the olden past considered it blasphemous to utter the name of the Messiah, simply because the tongue was unworthy. Note that the latter was an abomination in the eyes of man, not GOD. Hence, the name of the Messiah was replaced by words like GOD, Lord, and Name, in contrast with the original writings in Hebrew. Albeit, recent changes in the long past included the name, Jesus. On the same note, the name Jesus could unwittingly, be the result of weakness in transliteration.

"Name" means "Shem* in Hebrew. It connotes, by Hebrew definition, a personal status, a mark peculiar to the person, it has meaning. In short, the name defined the person. But the word Jesus has no meaning in any language. In fact, the word Jesus is the English transliteration of the Greek word "Iesous" meaning healer. Neither it exists nor has a meaning in the Hebrew language. To know the real name of the Messiah, we have to work back on how it was transliterated from the English word Jesus to the original Aramaic language, which was said to be the language during the life of the  Messiah. Bible scholars have this to say, to wit;

              English-     Jesus
                  Latin-     Iesus
               Greek -     Iesous
            Aramaic-     Yeshua 
                                or Yeoshua                                                    pronounced as; 


                         YAHUSHUA

YAHUSHUA is the name of the Messiah and YAHUSHUA means Messiah.

While knowing that the name Jesus is the traditional name that Christians venerate, it is also incumbent upon the believers to reconcile the foundation of his belief to strengthen it on the basis of what is true and apparent. Because that is what Yahushua expect, and he favors those who seek the truth.

John 8:32

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

John 1:6

“If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and we do not practice the truth:”

Mark 7:7 Context
7How be it in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines  of men. 8For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 

Jeremiah 5:1 King James Version (KJV)

5 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.

Will YAHUSHUA be please if the believers call and invoke his real name as spoken by his disciples and by those who followed him in the holy days of antiquity? Traditions, in most cases, were commandments of man. Between traditions and the word of YAHUSHUA, where will the believer stand? Let's find the answer in some of the applicable Bible passages.

Isaiah 65:1
"I permitted Myself to be sought by those who did not ask for Me; I permitted Myself to be found by those who did not seek Me I said, 'Here am I, here am I,' To a nation which did not call on My name.

Jeremiah 10:25
Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You And on the families that do not call Your name; For they have devoured Jacob; They have devoured him and consumed him And have laid waste his habitation.

Chronicles 16:8
Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people

John 14:13-14
"If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

Ezekiel 39:25
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name.

Genesis 4:26 King James Version (KJV)
26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord.



The believers need not wonder if there is righteousness in calling GOD's name, his real name,  which tradition and human frailties have proscribed for so long. The holy book revealed what GOD sought.


An ounce of truth leads to a pound ... to a ton, and finally to the whole truth, the whole truth according to his words will lead to his bosom.

18 The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.- Psalm 145:18.

Transcending Filipinism

-
Image
The term Filipinism by itself is Filipinism. It is uncommon in usage internationally, but somehow it made its way to world dictionaries and may refer to usage resulting from literally translating Tagalog words into English. These are English usage peculiar to and used only by Filipinos. Turn on/ off the lights is spoken as Open/ Close the lights; CR or Comfort Rooms are used instead of Toilets (The word “Toilet” has sensibility issue and considered unhygienic); Napkins are referred to as Tissue; Canteen is used instead of Cafeteria; Colgate means Toothpaste even though it’s a Close-Up; Refrigerator is generally called Frigidaire: Xerox is to photocopy even if the machines in use are UBIX, Brothers, etc. The preceding examples demonstrate that Filipinism is beyond lingual.  It is about tradition, customary practice and generally accepted norms that manifest in  language and its usage. Filipinism is also expressions in actions like; the” boodle fight” to celebrate brotherhood an

The Philippines, Rich man…Poor man…

-
It is no secret, and history will tell us that the Philippines since the Spanish era has yet to cross the verge from poverty principally due to manipulation and monopoly by foreign and local power of its resources.  Old phrases such as tobacco monopoly, the mining monopoly, the parity rights, the levies and so on had brought undue misery and hardships. The inequality and the disparaging utilization of the Philippine natural resources in favor of foreign power and the elite had precluded genuine progress. And here now comes the present, with the dwindling wealth and resources in the west the powers of the east and west is racing back towards Africa and South-East Asia to renew and introduce a new brand of colonization using the same old but time proven and effective gun boat diplomacy. The Philippines is again stunned, bewildered by the display of might and military power. In the same way their native ancestors had been awed before them. It was because the Philippine’s has failed to

Why Russia’s BMP3 Infantry Fighting Vehicle is the best option for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

Any avenue of approach in a war zone is a kill zone, be it an urban pave-ways or rural settings. The AFP have been sustaining unusually high casualties, resultant of inadequate armor and fire support. Individual infantry men were fully exposed while in marches on unfamiliar terrain towards the insurgent’s lair. Military vehicles have to traverse enemy territories without the security of protective armor (metal plates, chopped tree-trunks mounted on side of vehicles, sand bags, etc.).  Corollary, essential intelligence can easily be obtained in advance through aerial reconnaissance even before convoys proceed towards its destination. While the latter can be provided by available and inexpensive technology like drones, its utilization had remained an exception rather than the rule. Insurgent’s stationery bunkers/ fortifications greatly offset the AFP’s numerical advantage, that otherwise can easily be eliminated by an explosive blast. Sniper behind hard cover, like the inside of buildin
