The name that we use, in the Temple of Yahshuah, is totally African-Centred. Here is a summary of these ancient origins and its importance.

As can be seen from the development of the name Yahshuah over 6000 years, from Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics, through Canaanite, Phoenician, Hebrew and later Greek & Latin and then to English, this name has much historical significance. It should be also, evidently clear, why this unique Name Yahshuah, is of particularly significance and is a most Holy & Sacred name, to be used by African or other people, in the 21st Century. Furthermore, from the original  three African – Egyptian – Hieroglyphic symbols, the Hand, Water & Ox, we find much symbolic meaning that gives us a special connection to the Name and who it describes, the Hand of God, his Salvation, the Water as His Spirit & the Ox or Lamb of God, Sacrificed, to Redeem, humankind.

In the Act’s of The Apostles; 4:12, we are told that;

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

But What is this Name and its Origin?

The Hebrew word for Yah (yod), has actually derived directly from the Egyptian word and symbol for Yah, which is a hand.

The word Shu (shin) in the Hebrew language, translates to Salvation. This word also has its origin in the Egyptian symbol for Shu, water.

The Hebrew word Ah (ayin), also has its origin in the Egyptian language and hieroglyphic symbols, via the Phoenician alphabet.

We use Yahshuah, instead of Jesus or Yeshua, as the name Yahshuah itself, with this exact spelling, has specific historic relevance, to African people & culture.

The word Karast is used, instead of Christ or Kristos, as the latter two are derived directly from the former, the Egyptian term for being Anointed or Embalmed for burial.

The term Mesu, is used instead of Messiah or Messias, both the Hebrew & Greek equivalents to the Egyptian Mesu, for anointed, such as in a prophet, priest or king.

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of the flesh, or of the will of man, but of God”
