WHAT IS GOD'S NAME?

While setting in the barber's chair getting a hair cut the other day I notice the barber had the "Ten Commandments" posted on his wall, the third commandment stated, "You shall not take the name of the Lord God in vain." I asked the barber, "What is the name of the Lord God, in the third commandment"? He said, "isn't it yahoo, or something like that?" Laughing I said, "Don't you think we need to know the name of the Lord so we don't break the third commandment?" He said, "Isn't His name YAHWEH?" I replied, "According to modern Jewish tradition and modern biblical interpretation they say Yahweh is His name, however, this is really a hybrid name of God since it is based on marks that were added to the original Hebrew letters indicating vowel sounds. These marks were not on the original manuscripts and so should not be included. The original name revealed to Moses was the tetragramaton which is "YHWH". Modern interpretations added the vowels sounds which became YAWEH. This is a mistake since the original language pronounced the letters of the Hebrew alphabet which were Y or YOD, H or HAY, W or Wah, H or Hay; this would make the name, Yod Hay Wah Hay. The beauti of this interpretation is that the interpretation of Yod is hand, the interpretation of Hay is behold, Wah is Nail, and Hay is behold; so the interpretaion of Yod Hay Wah Hay in English is "Behold the Hand, Behold the Nail" This brings us to Jesus, who being crucified on the cross, the Romans hung a sign over His head which said, "Jesus of Nazereth the King of the Jews". The Jewish Elders being infuriated at this demanded that Pilot remove this sign from the cross: Pilot being unpreturbed replied, "What is written, is written". The interesting thing is the sign was written in Hebrew which revealed the true nature of who Jesus really is, the interpretation reads like this; Jesus of Nazeruth King of the Jews or Yeshua Hanasarut Whemalik Heyuda. Notice the first letters of the sign, YHWH, or YOD HAY WAH HAY, "Behold the Hand, Behold the Nail". This ties Jesus back to the God of creation, who before time began identified Himself as the one whose hand would be pierced with nails. Now the interesting thing that Jesus commanded the apostles in Matthew 28:19, "Baptise them in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Could that name be "YOD HAY WAH HAY"?
