Full Bible now available The New Messianic Version of the Bible - The Writings- PREVIEW EDITION. Is there something missing from your Bible? According to Tov Rose, yes there is. The New Messianic Version of the Bible is raising eyebrows in the world of Bible translators not only for restoring the capitalized GOD and LORD with the English translation of God's Names that are correct, but it takes things a step further. The name Yehovah is from the consonants YHWH, and can be found almost 6000 times in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). YHWH is rendered as LORD in most English Bibles, according to the pattern set by the King James Bible translators. But did you know that there are TWO forms of the Divine Name, the YHVH? One is the Father God and the other is His Son. Can you tell them apart in the Bible? Author Tov Rose explains, "Today, Jewish people and Christians alike suffer a similar kind of They do not know their God. I know, that looks like an inflammatory statement, but please give me to the end of the book to present my case before passing judgment. There is a secret hidden in plain sight, right in your Bible." This groundbreaking book answers the one question most Christians and Jewish people alike get wrong, "Who is the God of the Hebrew Bible?" Again, Tov, "If you said, 'God the Father' then you got it wrong, and I'm going to prove it to you. What you find in the pages of The New Messianic Version of the Bible may shatter everything you've ever known about God. It might also open the doors you to really know who God the Father really is." One respected Rabbi is quoted as saying, "Our sages of blessed memory, long before the Christian Era, held that there was a plurality in the Godhead. Indeed, this teaching was held for yet 100 years after the destruction of the second temple (70 A.D.), and, as it was contained and declared in the Holy Scriptures, it was also set forth in our most ancient books." - Rabbi Tzvi Nassi Who are we to argue with such an old tradition? Most Bible readers are in favor of the most literal translation of the Bible regardless of who translates it, because it is understood that any translation that is going to be closer to what was originally written is bound to bring its readers closer to God. Besides, in Deuteronomy 4:2, tells us not to add or take away from God's Word, yet many translators removed the Divine Name. Every other religion on the planet uses the proper name for their God. Why don't Christians and Jewish people do the same? It is odd. You don't have to be a scholar to know that removing someone's personal name and replacing it with a title is not accurate translating. In fact, it might actually be offensive. For example, you wouldn't go up to your friend Jane and say, "Hey George, where's your brother Nancy?" Just as offensive would be calling your own father by a name that wasn't actually his own, you know, like the name of his son? Tov argues that this is exactly what we do when it comes to God. How much more offensive can it be to God the Father when we use the wrong name for Him? Tov goes on to explain, "In the New Testament book of John 6:46 Jesus says, 'No man has seen The Father...' If that is the case, then who have people seen, spoken to and even shared meals with in the Old Testament (the Hebrew Bible, Tana'ak)? Even in Exodus 33:11 it says, 'And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend.
