It is essential to recognize the significance of referring to YHVH as the Father of Creation, rather than using the term "God." The word "God" has its origins in ancient Indo-European languages, where it was a general term used to refer to various deities across different cultures and their religious views. Over time, this word evolved and was adapted into Christian contexts, but it retains its roots in a polytheistic framework, where it could apply to many different shedim or idols.

The precise time when the word "God" was first used is difficult to pinpoint, as it evolved gradually over centuries. However, we can trace its origins through the following stages: Proto-Indo-European Roots (circa 4,000-2,500 BC). The word "God" has its earliest roots in the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) language, which is the hypothetical ancestor of many European and Indian languages. The PIE root *ǵhu-tó-m is believed to mean "that which is invoked" or "called upon," signifying a deity or divine being.

Proto-Germanic Evolution (circa 1st century AD), The PIE root evolved into the Proto-Germanic word *ǥuđán, which was used to refer to a deity. Proto-Germanic was spoken by the Germanic tribes, who lived in what is now Northern Europe. Old English Usage (circa 5th-11th century AD)

The Proto-Germanic *ǥuđán became the Old English word "gōd," pronounced similarly to the modern word "God." This word was used by the Anglo-Saxons in England, initially referring to any deity, both in their pre-Christian pagan traditions and later in the context of Christianity.

Middle English and Standardization (11th-15th century AD). By the time Old English evolved into Middle English (around the 11th century AD), the word "God" began to take its modern form. This period saw the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, which introduced Latin and French linguistic influences into the English language. The word "God" became standardized in religious texts, particularly with the translation of the Bible into English, such as in John Wycliffe’s Bible (1382) and the King James Version (1611).

Who Invented the Word "God"? The word "God" was not invented by a single individual but rather evolved naturally over centuries through the linguistic development of the Proto-Indo-European language into Proto-Germanic and eventually into Old and Middle English.

The concept and term evolved from common linguistic roots shared by various Indo-European languages, making it a collective creation of the ancient people who spoke these languages rather than the invention of a single person or group. In summary, the word "God" is the result of a long linguistic evolution, originating from ancient Indo-European languages, particularly through the Proto-Germanic and Old English periods. No single person or culture can be credited with inventing the word; it developed organically as these languages evolved.

Etymological Roots and Invocation: The word "God" indeed has etymological roots tied to the concept of invocation. The Proto-Indo-European Origin: The word "God" traces back to the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root *ǵhutó-m, which is believed to mean "that which is invoked" or "called upon." This root emphasizes the act of invoking or calling upon a deity or divine being, particularly in a religious or spiritual context.

Proto-Germanic Development: As this root evolved into the Proto-Germanic word *ǥuđán, it retained the sense of being something or someone that is invoked, particularly in rituals or prayers. Old English Usage: When the term entered Old English as "gōd," it was used to refer to any deity that people would invoke in their religious practices. As Christianity spread, the word "gōd" began to be used specifically for a Christian God, the deity that believers would invoke in prayer and worship.

YHVH, as revealed in the scriptures, is not just another deity, shedim, or what most people call God, among many, but is in the singular, supreme Creator who transcends the limitations of these ancient terms. The exclusivity of YHVH is emphasized in (Exodus 23:13), where the instruction is clear: "Do not invoke the names of other shedim (gods) or (Idols); do not let them be heard on your lips." This commandment underscores the importance of distinguishing YHVH from all other entities worshiped as gods.

The term "God," which can be applied to various deities, fails to capture the unique and holy nature of YHVH. The commandment in (Exodus 23:13) is indeed very clear about the importance of not invoking or even mentioning the names of other gods. This instruction emphasizes the exclusivity of YHVH as the one true Creator and the need to keep His name holy and distinct from any other entity that might be worshiped or called upon as a "god".

Key Points from (Exodus 23:13) "Do not invoke the names of other shedim": This means that we should not call upon, seek, or acknowledge the power or influence of any other being. Invoking their names would imply giving them legitimacy or power, which is directly against the commandment to worship YHVH alone. "Do not let them be heard on your lips": This further reinforces the idea that even mentioning these other shedim is forbidden. It underscores the need for complete separation from any form of idolatry or acknowledgment of other deities.

This further reinforces the idea that even mentioning the word "God" is unwise to say due to its origin in invoking other shedim. It underscores the need for complete separation from any form of idolatry or acknowledgment of other false gods. Therefore, the word "God" is a word for invoking, and it's dangerous to say the word "God."

With over 100,000 gods in our nations today, do you really know who you're calling on? That is why it is written that YHVH says, "Call on My name, and you will see My Y'shua (salvation)." (Pslams 91:16)

Scriptural References 1. (Exodus 23:13), "Be careful to do everything I have said to you. Do not invoke the names of other gods; do not let them be heard on your lips." This verse clearly instructs not to invoke or even mention the names of other gods, highlighting the need for a clear distinction in worship, which extends to the caution against using the word "God" due to its origin.

2. (Joel 2:32), "And everyone who calls on the name of YHVH will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as YHVH has said, even among the survivors whom YHVH calls." This verse emphasizes the power and importance of calling specifically on the name of YHVH for salvation.

3. (Psalm 91:14-15), "Because he loves me," says YHVH, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him." This passage highlights the protection and deliverance that comes from acknowledging and calling upon YHVH's name, not a generic term like "God."

4. (Zechariah 13:9), "This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name, and I will answer them; I will say, 'They are my people,' and they will say, 'YHVH is our Father.'" The verse shows the relationship between YHVH and His people, emphasizing the importance, of calling on His name for divine response.

5. (Isaiah 12:2-4), "Surely YHVH is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. YHVH himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation."

"Give praise to YHVH, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted." These passage underscores the importance of proclaiming YHVH's name specifically, as He is the source of salvation (Y'shua).

6. (Exodus 3:15), "YHVH also said to Moses, 'Say to the Israelites, 'YHVH, the Father of your fathers--the Father of Abraham, the Father of Isaac, and the Father of Jacob--has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation." Here, YHVH establishes His name as the one to be invoked and remembered for all generations. This message serves as a warning against using the word "God" due to its origins in invoking other gods, reinforcing the importance of calling upon the true name of YHVH to ensure we are invoking the one true Creator.

Connection to the First and Second Commandments:

First Commandment (Exodus 20:2-6): "You shall have no other shedim (gods) before Me." This is the foundational command that establishes the worship of YHVH as exclusive. There is no room for the worship or acknowledgment of any other gods. You shall not make for yourself an image... You shall not bow down to them or worship them." This commandment prohibits creating, worshiping, speaking, or serving idols or any representation of anything in creation as God.

Second Commandment (Exodus 20:7): "You shall not misuse the name of YHVH your Father, for YHVH will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name." This commandment emphasizes the importance of treating the name of YHVH with the utmost reverence and respect. It prohibits using His name in a careless, disrespectful, or deceitful manner, whether in speech, oaths, or any other form of expression. The commandment underscores that YHVH's name is sacred, and misusing it is a serious offense that will not go unpunished (Isaiah 44:8): "Do not tremble, do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago? "You are my witnesses. Is there any Shedim? No, there is no Shedim; I know not one." This verse emphasizes the uniqueness and exclusivity of YHVH as the only true Creator, rejecting the existence of all other false shedim, idols.

Importance of Distinguishing YHVH. By not invoking the names of other gods and keeping YHVH's name sacred, we maintain the purity of our worship and avoid any form of syncretism with idolatry. Invoking or seeking blessings from other gods would not only violate the command to worship YHVH alone but would also be a form of spiritual adultery, dishonoring the unique and holy nature of YHVH.

This commandment calls for a strict and clear distinction between YHVH and all other entities worshiped as gods, or speaking the word God, affiliating YHVH with that title. This ensures that our devotion remains solely directed to the Creator and not diluted by any false worship. Furthermore, the use of "God" can inadvertently lead to syncretism, where the distinct identity of YHVH is blurred, and the lines between the Creator and other deities are confused. This goes against the core biblical principle of monotheism, where YHVH alone is to be worshiped and acknowledged as the one true Father of Creation; Aravat (2 Enoch 20:3).

In theological and spiritual practice, it is vital to honor YHVH by using the name that reflects His true identity: the Father of Creation (Aravat), the Father of Mercy (YaHaVaH), the Father of Forgiveness (Yahovah), and the Father of Protection (Yahuah). This not only aligns with the commandments but also preserves the reverence and distinction that YHVH deserves. By avoiding the use of the term “God,” we safeguard the sacredness of His name and maintain the clarity of His unique role in our faith. YHVH is not a god among many; He is our Father, worthy of the highest honor and reverence. He is the eternal source of all existence—Y’shua the Messiah, the malakhim of heaven, mankind, and every living creature, the breath of life flowing from Shamayim to Adamah.

Who Is Like YHVH?

The Introduction of the Word "God" and Its Historical Development

1. Early Origins of the Word "God": The word "God" has its roots in the Proto-Indo-European language, specifically from the root *ǵhu-tó-m, which means "that which is invoked" or "called upon." As languages evolved, this root became the Proto-Germanic word *ǥuđán, which referred to a deity or divine being. By the time of Old English, around the 5th to 11th centuries, this term evolved into "gōd," which was used to refer to any deity, both in pre-Christian and Christian contexts.

2. The Influence of Roman Christianity: Christianity spread through the Roman Empire and into Germanic territories, and the term "gōd was adapted by missionaries to refer specifically to the Christian deity. This adaptation played a significant role in shaping the language of worship in these regions, leading to the standardized use of "God" to refer to the monotheistic deity of Christianity. The word "God" in its current form became solidified during the Middle English period, especially after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, which introduced Latin and French influences into English.

The Role of the Roman Jesuits in Reformation and Scripture Changes

1. The Reformation and Scriptural Changes: The Roman Catholic Church, particularly through the influence of the Jesuits, played a significant role in the Counter-Reformation, a movement that sought to reform the Church and combat the spread of Protestantism. The Jesuits were instrumental in translating and interpreting scriptures, often aligning their translations with the doctrines of the Catholic Church. This led to the Vulgate (a Latin translation of the Bible) being promoted as the authoritative text, which included changes and interpretations that supported Catholic teachings.

The Council of Trent (1545-1563) was a key moment during the Counter-Reformation where the Catholic Church clarified its doctrines, including those concerning the scriptures. It affirmed the Vulgate as the official Latin Bible of the Church, further solidifying certain interpretations that differed from earlier texts and Protestant translations.

2. Impact on the Scriptures: Some scholars argue that during this period, the Church made specific alterations to align the scriptures with its teachings, particularly concerning concepts like the nature of God, the role of the Church, and the authority of the Pope. The introduction of terms like "God" in various translations was part of this broader effort to unify Christian doctrine under the Roman Catholic framework, even as it sometimes obscured earlier understandings of divine names and titles.

Statistics on the Number of Gods in the World Today

1. Number of Deities in the nations today: The number of gods worshiped throughout human history is vast and diverse, reflecting the rich tapestry of cultural and religious beliefs across different societies. Polytheistic Religions: Hinduism, one of the largest polytheistic religions, acknowledges millions of gods, although many are seen as manifestations of a single ultimate reality (Brahman). Indigenous and animistic religions also worship a variety of deities connected to nature and ancestral spirits.

Monotheistic Religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam worship a single, all-powerful deity. Despite monotheism's focus on one God, these traditions recognize that other religions worship many gods. Estimated Total: over 100,000 distinct deities, considering the myriad gods worshiped in different traditions, both historically and in the present day.

Heyl'el (Satan) as the "God of This Age" – Scriptural References

1. Biblical References to Heyl'el (Satan) as the "God of This Age": (2 Corinthians 4:4): "The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of salvation that displays the glory of Yeshua, who is the image of YHVH." This verse identifies Heyl'el (Satan) as the "god of this age," highlighting his influence over those who do not believe or obey the commandments, blinding them to the truth of the gospel of salvation.

(John 12:31): "Now is the judgment of the nations; now will the ruler of this realm be cast out." Here, Y'shua refers to Heyl'el (Satan) as the "ruler of this realm," indicating his temporary dominion over the present kingdom of man, which is ultimately subject to judgment. (Ephesians 2:2): "In which you once walked, following the course of this realm, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience." This passage describes Heyl'el (Satan) as the "prince of the power of the air," further emphasizing his pervasive influence over national affairs and disobedience.

The term "God" came into widespread use in the English language during the transition from Old English to Middle English, influenced by the spread of Christianity of the Roman Church's efforts to standardize religious language. The Jesuits, through their translations and doctrinal teachings, played a crucial role in shaping how the scriptures were understood and taught during the Counter-Reformation.

Today, the nations is home to a vast number of deities, with estimates suggesting there are over 100,000 gods worshiped across various cultures and religions. In Christian theology, Heyl'el is often referred to as the "god of this age," a title that reflects his temporary and deceptive authority over those who do not believe in Y'shua, as mentioned in scriptures such as (2 Corinthians 4:4) and (John 12:31). This understanding reinforces the biblical call to distinguish YHVH, the true Creator and Father, from all other entities falsely worshiped as "gods".

The theory is that the fallen malakhim (angels) are the “gods” of the nations, having been given dominion over various aspects of the affairs of men after their rebellion against YHVH (Deuteronomy 32:8); (Psalm 82:1–6). The demons, who are the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim, the offspring of the second insurrection of Malakhim, (Jubilees 4:15), when Samyaza (Samhazai), the leader of the fallen malakhim known as the Anunnaki or Watchers, was instructed to descend to Adamah to teach mankind righteousness and justice, instead abandoned their mission they took human women for themselves (Genesis 6:1–4); (1 Enoch 15:8–12); (Jubilees 10:5–9). These spirits are considered wicked, devils and other unclean supernatural beings. They are not the malakhim; they are slaves to the King of the fallen malakhim, Heyl'el (Mestema).

They work in unison with those who disobey YHVH's commandments and who reject His Son Y’shua, blinding humanity with their lies, with twisted droctions (1 Timothy 4:1-2), (2 Timothy 4:1), and bliding us with their witchcraft, scorcery, magic, and deceptions to keep us under their dominion, (2 Corinthians 4:4); (Ephesians 6:12); (Revelation 12:9). Notably, Jasher records that at Babel The Word of Aravat said to seventy malakhim, “Come, let us descend and confuse their tongues,” linking the confusion of languages with malakhim oversight of the nations (Jasher 9:31–33).

These scriptures and apocryphal writings bear witness against the powers of darkness: the fallen malakhim, who became the shedim—false “gods” of this realm (Deuteronomy 32:17); (Psalm 106:37), and their demons, the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim (Genesis 6:1–4); (1 Enoch 15:8–12); (Jubilees 10:5–9).

These corrupt beings are not passive but actively labor to deceive humanity. By blinding the hearts of men through arrogance, pride, and vain imagination (Jeremiah 17:9); (Romans 1:21); (2 Corinthians 4:4), they twist the truth, spread lies, and propagate false teachings that war against YHVH and His Anointed One, Y’shua our Messiah.

Scripture warns that those who embrace deception “exchange the truth of Elohim for a lie, and worship and serve the creature rather than the Creator” (Romans 1:25). Such rebellion keeps people enslaved under the dominion of these unclean spirits, perpetuating cycles of spiritual blindness and oppression (Ephesians 6:12); (Revelation 12:9).

But YHVH declares that the idols and their demons are nothing before Him: “I am YHVH, that is My Name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to carved images” (Isaiah 42:8). Therefore, we are commanded, “Come out from among them and be separate, says YHVH, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you” (2 Corinthians 6:17).

Hope In Y'shua

Yeteven in the midst of such great deception and rebellion, there is hope.YHVH is merciful and abounding in steadfast love, desiring that none should perish but that all should come to repentance (Teshuvah)(Ezekiel 18:30–32); (2 Peter 3:9). Though we have sinned by entertaining these unclean beings through magic, witchcraft, sorcery, lust, greed, and selfish desires. YHVH has made a way for us to be restored. Through Y’shua our Messiah, the power of the shedim and the demons are broken, for He came “toproclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed” (Isiah 61:1-11), (Luke 4:18). The blood of Y’shua cleanses us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9), and His victory at the stake disarmed principalities and powers, triumphing over them (Colossians 2:15).

Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart (Hebrews3:15). Turn away from the works of darkness and return to YHVH in humility. Confess your sins, renounce the false gods, and reject the
demons who seek to destroy your soul. YHVH promises, “Return to Me, and I will return to you” (Malachi 3:7). Draw close to YHVH and He will draw close to you (James 4:8).

Let us therefore lay aside every weight and sin which soeasily ensnares us, and run with endurance the race set before us, looking unto Y’shua, the Author and Finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:1–2). For in Him is true freedom, true life, and everlasting hope.
