The Word of Yahweh is a new edition of the Old Testament and New Testament scriptures. In order for a new Bible edition to be successful it must fill a need. This project had its origin at the 1999 Sacred Name Unity Conference in Eaton Rapids, Michigan. At that conference a presentation was given calling for a quality version of the Bible, emphasizing the sacred names of our Heavenly Father and His Son.

With the generous contributions of both expertise and financial support of many dedicated individuals in the Body of the Messiah, we present this Word of Yahweh as an offering of love to our Heavenly Father Yahweh and His Son, our savior, Yahshua. The primary objective in producing this version of the Bible is to bring honor and praise to the Sacred Names of our Heavenly Father Yahweh and His Son Yahshua.

This magazine is published for the sake of truth in honor of our Heavenly Father and His only begotten Son. It upholds the originally inspired Scriptures, teaching to declare all the counsel of The Almighty One. It proclaims the Father’s scholarly recognized name, YAHWEH, and the Son’s, YAHSHUA, rather than substitutions. It upholds the Ten Commandments, recognizing the name, Yahweh, in the third, and the seventh day Sabbath (not the first day of the week) in the fourth. It stands for baptism (immersion) in the name, Yahshua, the Messiah, according to Acts 2:38 and Matthew 28:19; the ordinance of feet washing and the commemoration of the Messiah’s death, at the Passover season; the set times of Unleavened Bread, Weeks (Pentecost), Tabernacles, with all the yearly set apart convocation days of Leviticus 23. It advocates tithing and the observance of Yahweh’s laws for our well being including clean foods. It teaches repentance of sin (disobeying Yahweh), and justification by faith in Yahshua, the Messiah, in whom we have redemption through His blood; making right the whole man, physically and spiritually; stressing the importance of the set apart righteous life, and the Power of Yahweh’s Spirit of separation teaching the obedient to do His will. It is supported by “called out ones of Yahweh,” which is the meaning of “Assembly of Yahweh.” It is for those hearing and heeding the call of Revelation 18:4, and is proclaiming to the world that Yahweh reigns, Psalm 96.
