A  NEW  WAY

Moses likely received the name of God as "Yahuh" at the thornbush. The question remains: Did the patriarchs pronounce God's name as "Yahuh", too? And another question is: Was the Hebrew language preserved in its original form after the confusion of the languages or did the influence of the new languages bring a slight change also in the Hebrew, which was the only language not changed or confused when OUOI interfered in Babel.

Interestingly Exodus 6:2,3 read: "And God went on to speak to Moses and to say to him: "I am Yahuh. And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Shaddai (= the powerful one), but as respects my name Yahuh I did not make myself known to them."" What does that sentence mean? Abraham knew the name of God OUOI (compare Genesis 22:14; 18:27,30,32). Obviously the name "Yahuh" was not known to the patriarchs. They only knew OUOI in another pronunciation. OUOI himself had introduced the new pronunciation "Yahuh" to Moses which was unknown to all Israelites and to the patriarchs before, maybe because he took into account the slight changes in the Hebrew language of that time.

Abraham was a Mesopotamian according to Acts chapter seven and Jacob was called a Syrian in Deuteronomy (Acts 7:2; Deuteronomy 26:5). In Ur Chaldean was spoken and in Haran Syrian was spoken. Was the influence of these two languages strong enough to change at least the Hebrew pronunciation? Or was it the influence of the Egyptian language while the Israelites were in Egypt that lead to a change of the Hebrew?

It is interesting that according to a manual of the Hebrew the O once was also pronounced as a long A-sound. (22) This could point to a totally different aspect of the original Hebrew language: The Hebrew did contain vowels. But these vowels slowly were changed into consonants. Up until today the Waw and the Yohdh are two examples of this double understanding of Hebrew characters: Waw on one side is a consonant (V or W) and on the other hand a vowel (U and O). Yohdh on the one hand is a consonant (J or Y) and on the other hand a vowel  (I spoken "EE" [i:]). Should the Hebrew of Adam as long as all "histories" which were handed down to Moses as tablets as it was assumed, should this Hebrew be a "reasonable" writing with vowels? (Genesis 2:4; 5:1; 6:9; 10:1; 11:10; 11.27; 25:12,19). Since OUOI, the allwise Creator, was the real giver of the Hebrew language and of the Hebrew writing as the actual and holy language for mankind, it seems very likely that Hebrew was "reasonable", spoken and written. The Hebrew of Adam, the Adamic language, which was given by OUOI should have been both reasonable and complete, yes even perfect, since every gift of God is perfect (James 1:17,25; Deuteronomy 32:4; 2 Samuel  22:31; Psalm 18:30; 19:7; Matthew 5:48).

The basic vowels are A (as in ca lm) [a:], E (as in bed) [e:], I (as in field) [i:], O (as in odd) [@:] and U (as in moo n) [u:]. Did they appear in Adam's alphabet?

The I is no problem. It was the Yohdh I.

The U was originally likely the Waw U.

The A was obviously the Aleph A which is shown by "Abraham" or by "Adam" (German pronunciation).

The O was obviously the He' O which was later changed into a dark sounding A. (23)

The E then only can be the Ayin E which is indicated by the old name "Eden" (German pronunciation).

The "Abraham" and the "A dam" in many languages start with an A as in "done". The "Eden" in many languages starts with an E like in "bed".

When you read an old Hebrew text written without vowel points in the above mentioned manner then you only have to introduce or to insert some short vowels, for instance a short E (Shwa-sound), between consonants, while the vowels A , E, I, O, U are spoken long, and you get a "reasonable" reading of the writing.

The name of God thus becomes a word consisting only out of vowels. In the name of God you need not insert any short Shwa-vowels. The four long vowels underline the holiness of this name. Vowels are more seldom than consonants. Thus vowels are holier. Vowels are a slight wind out of the lips. In Hebrew wind means the same as spirit (HUR = wind, spirit, active force). In this way the name of God "IOUO" [i: @: u: @:] points to God's holy spirit, to his might and peaceful holiness, because four long vowels together form a peaceful sound like a long pause in between a staccato-like row of alternating consonants and vowels of the normal speech. Consonants are explosive and hard. They are weak letters because they cannot stand alone. Vowels however are sedative, calm and mellow. They are strong letters because they can stand alone. Adam likely pronounced OUOI as IOUO (speak Ee-Aw-Oo-Aw) [i: @: u: @:] only with long vowels.(24)

When you weaken the I (= Ee) [i:] to a Y [j] and the U (= Oo) [u:] to a W [w] then you feel the resemblance of YOWO [j @: w @:] to the English word "Jove". When you speak fast then automatically the I becomes a Y and the U becomes  a W. Many say "By Jove" and mean the Roman and pagan god Jupiter.

Here lies the proof for our foregoing theory !

Jupiter was the most high Roman god. It was a Ju-pater. The word-part "piter" is a slightly changed "pater" meaning "father". Jupiter was the Ju-father, the father-god. From where did the Romans take the idea that the highest god is a father, a father both of gods and humans and half-gods? This thought is absolutely biblical. This thought likely goes back to Noah and was mixed with pagan ideas after the idolatry of Babylon or Babel was brought to all parts of the world, after the confusion of the language in Babel and the scattering of the people of Babel (Genesis 10:32;11:8).

Jupiter is no one else than "OUOI-pater" or "OUOI-father". The UI (= Yu or Ju) [ju:] is an old common abbreviation of OUOI, as many propernames prove. But there is an even more obvious proof that "Jupiter" is "OUOI-pater": The Latin declension of the Nominative "Jupiter" is a declension of the "Ju" only. This "Ju" or Latin in capital letters "IV" is declined as:

IOVIS  (Genitive)

IOVI  (Dative)

IOVEM  (Accusative)

IOVE  (Ablative)  compare  "sub Iove" = in the open air

This is sufficient proof that the original Nominative was not "Ju" but "IOVO" (25) . V originally was a U (= Oo) [u:], so we come directly to our "IOUO". Jupiter is no one else than IOUO-father. The original Adamic pronunciation of God's name thus was IOUO.(26)

Qu. e. d.  (Quod erat demonstrandum)

Did OUOI therefore succeed in preserving the original pronunciation of his name as chapter 1 of this book assumes ? Did God's name eventually prove to be unreachably high? 

We easily could weaken the I of IOUO to a Y and the U of IOUO to a W, leading to the pronunciation "YOWO". But we should avoid that. We shouldn't turn the vowels into consonants, because thus we destroy the holiness of the original pronunciation of this most high name. The frequent use of prepositions together with the name of God points to a clear I (= Ee [i:]) not a Y in IOUO: For instance LIOUO = to IOUO or MIOUO = from IOUO or BIOUO = at IOUO.

Now let us turn to some additional arguments for this proven vowel-theory.

The He' = O and the Greek W both are open below. The W (= Omega) leads directly to the O (= Omicron). Thus there might be a connection from O to W and to O. A comparison of old alphabets of old oriental languages can testify a relation between H and O.(27)

IOUO had preserved his name by the pagan Romans. "Quod licet Iovi non licet bovi" a well known Latin saying means: "That which is allowed to Jupiter is not allowed to cattle." His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. "Jupiter" is still a very well known word today. There is the planet Jupiter, there are the history-lessons in school worldwide, there is the study of the Latin language in many schools and universities and there is the known expression "by Jove" in the English language, or the word "jovial" in German.

When Jesus was executed IOUO was the God of the main executioners namely of the Jews. Jupiter, however, was the highest god of the co-executioners namely of the Romans. In reality (without realizing it) Jews and Romans worshipped the same God IOUO. IOUO was the God of Jews and Romans. They all were guilty alike. In agreement with that, Jesus died for Jews and for Romans who then represented the whole world. IOUO is God of the whole world and Jesus died for the whole world (Daniel 8:11, 25; 11:22).

At the time of the Maccabees IOUO allowed the desecration of his temple in Jerusalem, when Greeks sacrificed pigs on the altar of that temple. They sacrificed these pigs to Zeus. Zeus is the same as Jupiter. In reality (without realizing it) the Greeks representing at that time the whole world worshipped IOUO in his temple! Maybe this was the reason for IOUO to allow that desecration. IOUO demonstrated that He is the God of all humans and that the temple belongs to all humans. It is interesting in this respect that the name "Zeus" appears in the New Testament, too (Acts 14:12,13; 28:11). It seems that this has to do with the fact that OUOI = IOUO = Jupiter = Zeus. Of course Jupiter and Zeus are misrepresented forms of God.

The change of the original O (= O) to an H is indicated by the words "Elohim" and "Eloah", too. Though the O changed into H, an O remained in the pronunciation, O directly beside H. "Elohim" originally was an ALOIM. Often it is not an O that remains, but a dark A which sounds to O (Quamets = [@:]). We see that in the word Torah which originally was a TURO. There are many examples for those combinations of O and H or A and H (A = dark sounding to O = Quamets     [@:]) in the Hebrew of the Bible. Interesting in this connection is the word "Jehu" (the Israelite king). In Hebrew "Jehu" = AUOI. In the Septuagint this AUOI is transcribed with "Íou".

An u or U (capital letter) originally was pronounced U (= Oo) [u:] after vowels.(28) Likewise the name "Judah" = ODwhI is a Íoúdaß in the Greek New Testament, and the "Jews" = miDOI are Íoudaíouß from DUOI = "Judah" (the state).

Also the Quamets 7 often occurs together with O at the end of words. It is an: [@:] -sound (an A to O). That is a hint that the O originally was an O. We mentioned already "Torah" = TURO originally. It is written today Orvt . The same with the common abbreviation of God's Name "Jah". It is og and obviously was an original IO. Let's take into consideration that the O at the end of a word actually has no real meaning when it is an H. There are many hundreds of these words in Hebrew which end with O. An original O is more meaningful and seems to be a more understandable reason for so many O-endings. The same with A. It often has no meaning at the end of a word (and sometimes even within a word). See AwOj  = "Jehu". Also E at the end of a word is meaningless. But when we know that these Os and As and E s originally were vowels, then this makes sense.

 (23) Compare the Quamets, an A sounding to an O or an open O [@:].

(24) The form IOUO points to purity, too, because it is no mixture between vowels and consonants.

(25) IOVIS, IOVI, IOVEM, IOVE is a consonantic declension with the nominative normally Iuppiter, with an added p because of an assimilation. Compare: Dr. Leo Stock: Langenscheidts Lern- und Übungsgrammatik Latein, Langenscheidt, Berlin, 14th Edition 1999, p. 19.

(26) It is no absolutely new idea to link "OUOI" with "Jupiter". See Brockhaus 1838, heading "Jehova". But the reading IOUO seems to be new.
