    00:00:08
    What if the name you've used for God
    00:00:09
    your entire life isn't the name he
    00:00:12
    revealed [music] what if the greatest
    00:00:14
    alteration in biblical history wasn't a
    00:00:16
    missing book a mistransated verse or a
    00:00:18
    secret council but a name
    00:00:22
    for most of the world [music] God has
    00:00:24
    become a title Lord God distant [music]
    00:00:28
    generic safe. But buried in the ancient
    00:00:32
    Hebrew scrolls is a four-letter name
    00:00:34
    that appears [music] thousands of times
    00:00:37
    and almost never reaches the lips of
    00:00:39
    modern believers. Someone decided it was
    00:00:41
    too dangerous [music] to speak. Someone
    00:00:44
    decided it was safer to hide.
    00:00:47
    And over centuries, the name that
    00:00:49
    [music] thundered from the burning bush
    00:00:51
    faded into a word printed in small,
    00:00:53
    careful letters, Lord. While Europe
    00:00:57
    debated [music] theology in marble
    00:00:59
    halls, while empires rose and fell and
    00:01:01
    stamped their language on scripture far
    00:01:03
    to the east of Jerusalem and south
    00:01:04
    [music] of Rome, another story continued
    00:01:07
    almost untouched. In the highlands of
    00:01:09
    Ethiopia, in stone monasteries stained
    00:01:12
    with incense, and time [music] priests
    00:01:14
    whispered prayers that still carried the
    00:01:16
    ancient weight of that forgotten name.
    00:01:19
    Their Bible did not bow to Rome. Their
    00:01:22
    cannon did not kneel to Canterbury.
    00:01:25
    Their scribes preserved books the West
    00:01:27
    discarded [music]
    00:01:29
    and a vision of God the West quietly
    00:01:32
    renamed.
    00:01:34
    This [music] channel is not here to
    00:01:35
    entertain you. It is here to return you
    00:01:37
    to the ancient path, the path history
    00:01:40
    tried [music] to close. If you walk with
    00:01:41
    us today, walk slowly. Some truths were
    00:01:45
    never meant to be rushed. Because if
    00:01:47
    Ethiopia's Bible is telling [music] the
    00:01:49
    truth, then the question is not did they
    00:01:51
    change God's name. The question is
    00:01:54
    [music] why? And what did they hope we
    00:01:57
    would never notice? They didn't erase
    00:01:59
    the name accidentally. They [music]
    00:02:01
    replaced it deliberately. So in the next
    00:02:04
    moments, we will go back to the very
    00:02:06
    beginning of that change. To the [music]
    00:02:09
    first time, God's true name was traded
    00:02:11
    for a title in the Western Bible. The
    00:02:13
    original name of God appears over 6,000
    00:02:16
    times. [music]
    00:02:17
    Yet most Christians have never seen it.
    00:02:21
    Not once. Not in a lifetime of sermons,
    00:02:24
    devotionals, [music] or Sunday readings.
    00:02:27
    In the Hebrew Bible, the four-letter
    00:02:30
    name YH
    00:02:31
    stands [music] like a pillar carved into
    00:02:33
    the very foundation of scripture.
    00:02:36
    6,828
    00:02:38
    times [music] it appears in the sacred
    00:02:39
    text.
    00:02:41
    A name so central that ancient Israel
    00:02:43
    would rather die than forget it. A name
    00:02:46
    so [music] powerful that prophets
    00:02:48
    trembled before it. But somewhere along
    00:02:50
    the way, the name began to fade. The
    00:02:54
    first shift came quietly, almost gently.
    00:02:58
    When Hebrew was translated into Greek in
    00:03:00
    the Septuagent, [music] the scribes
    00:03:02
    chose Kyriio Lord instead of writing the
    00:03:04
    name.
    00:03:06
    It was a theological decision wrapped in
    00:03:08
    cultural caution.
    00:03:10
    To Greek [music] ears, the sacred
    00:03:12
    tetragrammaton was foreign,
    00:03:14
    unpronouncable, even dangerous.
    00:03:17
    So they [music] replaced it.
    00:03:19
    And then in the Latin world, the pattern
    00:03:21
    solidified.
    00:03:23
    Jerome's [music] Vulgate used dominus,
    00:03:25
    not YHW. Once again, the name was set
    00:03:28
    aside and a title took its place.
    00:03:30
    [music]
    00:03:31
    What began as a translation choice
    00:03:33
    slowly hardened into tradition.
    00:03:36
    Centuries later, when the King James
    00:03:38
    scholars crafted their monumental
    00:03:40
    English [music] Bible, they followed the
    00:03:42
    same path.
    00:03:44
    They printed Lord in capital letters,
    00:03:47
    [music] an elegant disguise for a name no longer
    00:03:50
    spoken.
    00:03:52
    Millions would [music] read those pages
    00:03:53
    unaware that behind the word Lord stood
    00:03:56
    a name older than nations older than
    00:03:58
    kings, older [music] than language
    00:04:00
    itself. A title replaced a name, a
    00:04:04
    relationship replaced by a category.
    00:04:07
    What was once intimate became [music]
    00:04:09
    distant. What was once personal became
    00:04:11
    generic.
    00:04:13
    As western [music] Christianity grew,
    00:04:15
    believers prayed to God, not realizing
    00:04:17
    the scriptures originally invited them
    00:04:19
    to call upon [music] someone with a
    00:04:21
    name.
    00:04:23
    Over time, the loss became invisible. A
    00:04:26
    generation forgot. Then another.
    00:04:30
    And soon the entire Western world
    00:04:32
    [music] inherited a Bible that spoke of
    00:04:34
    the Almighty without ever revealing his
    00:04:36
    name. [music] Why would anyone change
    00:04:38
    the most sacred word in scripture?
    00:04:41
    who decided that the name spoken from
    00:04:43
    the burning bush should be hidden in
    00:04:45
    plain sight.
    00:04:48
    To find the answer, [music] we must
    00:04:50
    journey to the one place on earth where
    00:04:52
    that name was never altered, where the
    00:04:54
    ancient memory remained untouched. And
    00:04:57
    that path leads us straight [music] into
    00:05:00
    Ethiopia. While the Western world
    00:05:02
    rewrote God's name, Ethiopia never
    00:05:05
    touched it. That single fact reshapes
    00:05:08
    the entire map of biblical [music]
    00:05:10
    history. For nearly 2,000 years, this
    00:05:13
    ancient kingdom stood outside the reach
    00:05:15
    of Rome, beyond the influence of
    00:05:17
    Canterbury, untouched by the colonial
    00:05:19
    hands [snorts] that edited, trimmed, and
    00:05:21
    standardized [music] so much of the
    00:05:23
    global Christian story. Ethiopia's faith
    00:05:26
    grew on its own soil, nourished by its
    00:05:28
    own memory, protected by mountains that
    00:05:30
    even empires [music]
    00:05:32
    feared to cross. In the highlands, where
    00:05:34
    stone churches are carved downward into
    00:05:36
    the earth
    00:05:38
    and priests chant in the language of the
    00:05:40
    early centuries, the Gayes Bible took
    00:05:43
    shape.
    00:05:44
    By the fifth and sixth centuries, its
    00:05:47
    scribes were preserving names Western
    00:05:49
    Christianity would later abandon.
    00:05:52
    They copied Elon Elohima and even
    00:05:55
    ancestral forms of the divine name.
    00:05:58
    found in Hebrew fragments older than
    00:06:00
    some maseretic traditions. [music] They
    00:06:02
    guarded these names with a reverence
    00:06:04
    that was not theoretical. It was living
    00:06:06
    breathing woven [music] into worship. In
    00:06:09
    Ethiopia's cannon, the books the West
    00:06:11
    rejected were never lost. Enoch walked
    00:06:14
    across their pages. Jubilees remained a
    00:06:17
    pillar of theology. The Ascension of
    00:06:20
    Isaiah whispered ancient visions. The
    00:06:23
    very texts that later vanished from
    00:06:25
    Europe survived intact in the Ethiopian
    00:06:28
    tradition as if hidden in a vault built
    00:06:31
    by time itself [music]
    00:06:32
    in a world of rewritten Bibles.
    00:06:35
    Ethiopia stands like a time capsule,
    00:06:38
    not frozen but faithful. Its language
    00:06:41
    [music] may differ but its heart remains
    00:06:43
    ancient.
    00:06:45
    The name Exabar often used [music] in
    00:06:47
    prayer is not a replacement for the
    00:06:49
    divine name. It is a title of honor, a
    00:06:53
    way of acknowledging the creator without
    00:06:55
    daring to modify the sacred identity
    00:06:57
    [music] his people once spoke.
    00:07:00
    In Ethiopia, the holy name is not
    00:07:02
    translated remodeled or softened. It is
    00:07:05
    [music] preserved. Ethiopia tells a
    00:07:08
    story few have heard, not of a nation
    00:07:10
    discovering a foreign faith, but of a
    00:07:12
    nation remembering what the world
    00:07:14
    [music] forgot.
    00:07:16
    If this truth awakens something in you,
    00:07:18
    share it below.
    00:07:20
    This journey [music] is not watched, it
    00:07:22
    is walked. When one voice remembers the
    00:07:25
    name, the whole community remembers with
    00:07:28
    it. And as we move forward, [music] a
    00:07:31
    deeper question emerges.
    00:07:33
    How did Ethiopia become so [music]
    00:07:35
    closely tied to the ancient people of
    00:07:37
    Israel in the first place?
    00:07:39
    Ethiopia [music] didn't adopt Israel's
    00:07:41
    faith. They claimed they carried its
    00:07:44
    bloodline. This is not a metaphor, not a
    00:07:46
    poetic idea, but the central thread of
    00:07:49
    an identity woven through centuries of
    00:07:51
    royal chronicles and [music] sacred
    00:07:53
    traditions. According to the Kebra
    00:07:55
    Nagust, one of the most influential
    00:07:58
    works in Ethiopian history, the Queen of
    00:08:00
    Sheba traveled to Jerusalem not as a
    00:08:03
    curious foreign monarch, but as a seeker
    00:08:06
    of [music] wisdom. There she encountered
    00:08:08
    King Solomon, a meeting described not as
    00:08:11
    diplomacy, but as destiny. From that
    00:08:14
    union, the story tells [music] us, came
    00:08:15
    Menelik first, the son who would one day
    00:08:18
    return to Ethiopia, carrying something
    00:08:20
    unimaginable, the ark of the covenant.
    00:08:23
    [music] Not a symbol, not a replica. The
    00:08:26
    ark itself, the chest that contained the
    00:08:28
    tablets of the law, the throne of the
    00:08:30
    invisible, the object [music] that
    00:08:32
    Israel guarded with its life. Whether
    00:08:34
    one believes this claim or not, its
    00:08:36
    impact on Ethiopian identity is
    00:08:38
    undeniable. [music]
    00:08:39
    If you believe you are guardians of the
    00:08:41
    ark, you do not rename the god who
    00:08:43
    entrusted it. [music] This belief shaped
    00:08:46
    the entire religious worldview of
    00:08:47
    Ethiopia.
    00:08:49
    Royal manuscripts speak of continuous
    00:08:52
    lineage stretching back to Solomon.
    00:08:55
    Ancient rabbis [music] traveling along
    00:08:57
    trade routes recognized Ethiopian
    00:08:59
    traditions that mirrored early Israelite
    00:09:02
    practices.
    00:09:03
    Priests recited psalms [music] and
    00:09:05
    genealogies with a confidence born not
    00:09:08
    of imitation but inheritance. And when
    00:09:10
    European missionaries [music] eventually
    00:09:13
    reached Ethiopia carrying Latin Bibles
    00:09:15
    and English translations expecting
    00:09:17
    reverence for their corrected texts,
    00:09:20
    they encountered something unexpected
    00:09:21
    [music] refusal.
    00:09:23
    The Ethiopians did not accept revisions.
    00:09:26
    They did not surrender their canon. They
    00:09:29
    did not allow Rome or Canterbury to
    00:09:32
    redefine their scriptures [music] or
    00:09:33
    their vocabulary for God. To them, the
    00:09:36
    Western Bible was a younger story
    00:09:38
    edited, translated, curated, while
    00:09:41
    theirs was a continuity that stretched
    00:09:43
    back to Solomon himself. To Ethiopia,
    00:09:46
    changing God's name isn't translation.
    00:09:49
    It's betrayal. [music]
    00:09:50
    It is breaking the ancient chain. It is
    00:09:53
    severing memory from covenant. They
    00:09:55
    believed and still believe that they
    00:09:57
    guard a sacred memory, a living
    00:09:59
    manuscript of identity passed down from
    00:10:02
    the days when a young son of Solomon
    00:10:04
    carried the ark across deserts [music]
    00:10:05
    and mountains to a new home. In that
    00:10:09
    story, names are not replaceable.
    00:10:12
    Names carry covenant authority [music]
    00:10:14
    and divine presence.
    00:10:16
    If you feel a stirring, a recognition,
    00:10:19
    write your reflection. This channel
    00:10:21
    isn't a classroom. It's a gathering of
    00:10:24
    seekers. rediscovering what empire
    00:10:26
    [music] tried to bury. And now the
    00:10:28
    question deepens. If the name carries
    00:10:30
    identity, what happens to faith when
    00:10:32
    that name is [music] changed?
    00:10:35
    Modern scholars are quietly admitting
    00:10:37
    what Ethiopian scribes preserved for
    00:10:39
    centuries.
    00:10:41
    Across [music] universities, seminaries,
    00:10:43
    and archaeological institutes, a
    00:10:46
    realization is emerging like an ember
    00:10:48
    reignited after ages of Ash Lord and
    00:10:51
    [music] God are titles, not names.
    00:10:54
    They describe roles, not identity. They
    00:10:57
    point toward divinity, but they do not
    00:10:59
    reveal the one who spoke from the fire,
    00:11:01
    who carved covenant into stone, who
    00:11:04
    called prophets [music] by name and
    00:11:06
    expected to be called by his.
    00:11:08
    A title [music] cannot replace a name,
    00:11:10
    yet the Western world allowed it to. In
    00:11:14
    the ancient Hebrew scriptures, [music]
    00:11:15
    YHWH Elohim Elon Adoni, each name
    00:11:20
    carries a distinct weight, a different
    00:11:22
    dimension of [music] God's character.
    00:11:24
    YHWW speaks of existence itself, the one
    00:11:28
    who simply is. Elohim signals creative
    00:11:31
    authority. Elon rises like a mountain
    00:11:34
    above all earthly powers. Adonai
    00:11:37
    expresses intimacy, a lord who draws
    00:11:40
    close.
    00:11:41
    These are not interchangeable [music]
    00:11:43
    labels. These are revelations.
    00:11:46
    But when the name was replaced, [music]
    00:11:48
    the relationship changed. What was once
    00:11:51
    personal became distant. The covenant
    00:11:53
    [music] tone of scripture was softened
    00:11:55
    into abstraction. Faith became believing
    00:11:58
    in God, not walking with YHW.
    00:12:02
    The language of encounter faded [music]
    00:12:04
    into the language of religion. When the
    00:12:06
    name disappeared, something in the human
    00:12:09
    heart drifted [music] not away from
    00:12:10
    belief, but away from familiarity.
    00:12:13
    The question is no longer academic.
    00:12:15
    [music] It's personal. If humanity had
    00:12:18
    never changed God's name,
    00:12:20
    how different would [music] our prayers
    00:12:22
    sound?
    00:12:23
    Would we speak more boldly, more
    00:12:25
    honestly, knowing we were addressing
    00:12:27
    someone with a name, [music] not an
    00:12:29
    idea? Would the Western church have
    00:12:31
    inherited a deeper sense of covenant,
    00:12:34
    identity, and belonging?
    00:12:36
    Would global [music] Christianity have
    00:12:38
    been less divided, less fragmented, less
    00:12:41
    vulnerable to empire's influence?
    00:12:44
    If we had never replaced the name, would
    00:12:46
    we have ever lost the sense [music] that
    00:12:48
    God walks with us?
    00:12:50
    As modern scholarship unravels layers of
    00:12:53
    translation and tradition, one truth
    00:12:55
    rises above the rest. The divine name
    00:12:57
    was never [music] meant to be hidden.
    00:13:00
    It was meant to be known, called upon,
    00:13:03
    remembered. And Ethiopia, silent,
    00:13:06
    ancient, untouched, may hold the answer
    00:13:08
    the world forgot [music] to ask. Because
    00:13:11
    the name is more than letters on
    00:13:12
    parchment. It is
    00:13:14
    >> [music] >> identity. It is presence. It is covenant
    00:13:18
    revealed. And to understand what this
    00:13:20
    truly means, we must step deeper [music]
    00:13:22
    into the mystery of what a divine name
    00:13:24
    actually reveals. A name is not a label.
    00:13:28
    In the ancient world, a name is
    00:13:30
    identity. It is essence, purpose,
    00:13:32
    [music] calling, and destiny woven
    00:13:34
    together.
    00:13:36
    When the God of Israel revealed his name
    00:13:38
    to Moses, it was not an accessory. It
    00:13:40
    was a self-disclosure,
    00:13:43
    a revelation of who he is, how he acts,
    00:13:47
    and how his [music] people were meant to
    00:13:48
    know him. This is why the four-letter
    00:13:51
    name Wabui stands at the heart of the
    00:13:54
    Hebrew scriptures. It is not just
    00:13:56
    pronounced. [music] It is lived. Y cham
    00:13:59
    y hwh carries the mystery of existence
    00:14:01
    itself. I am not past, [music] not
    00:14:04
    future, present, eternal, uncreated. The
    00:14:07
    one who is, who was, who will be. Elleon
    00:14:11
    speaks of height supremacy, a [music]
    00:14:12
    god above all nations and their kings.
    00:14:15
    Elohim reveals creative force. The one
    00:14:18
    who shapes galaxies and breathes life
    00:14:20
    into dust. Adonai carries covenant
    00:14:22
    intimacy. The Lord who leads, protects,
    00:14:25
    and walks [music] among his people.
    00:14:27
    These names are not interchangeable.
    00:14:30
    They are windows into divine identity.
    00:14:33
    Together, they form a portrait of a God
    00:14:35
    who is both unfathomable and near
    00:14:38
    terrifying in power, yet tender in
    00:14:40
    [music] relationship.
    00:14:42
    When you replace the name, you replace
    00:14:44
    the nature that the name reveals.
    00:14:47
    You do more than edit a word. You blur a
    00:14:50
    relationship. You dim the light on God's
    00:14:53
    character. [music] You silence the
    00:14:54
    resonance of covenant history. In the
    00:14:57
    ancient world, names were the way one
    00:14:59
    God was distinguished from another. To
    00:15:02
    know the name was to know the heart, the
    00:15:04
    story, the allegiance.
    00:15:06
    For Israel, the name was the sign of
    00:15:08
    belonging.
    00:15:10
    They cried out to YHW, not merely God,
    00:15:13
    because every nation had its gods,
    00:15:15
    [music] but only Israel had the one who
    00:15:17
    made himself known by name. To [music]
    00:15:20
    remove that name is not a harmless
    00:15:22
    translation. It is a soft eraser of
    00:15:25
    identity. The world forgot the name.
    00:15:28
    [music] Ethiopia never did.
    00:15:30
    In Ethiopian prayers, hymns, and ancient
    00:15:33
    manuscripts, echoes of the divine name
    00:15:36
    remain like embers that never died out.
    00:15:39
    They preserved what others replaced.
    00:15:40
    [music]
    00:15:41
    They remembered what others rewritten.
    00:15:45
    And now their testimony forces us to
    00:15:48
    reconsider everything [music] we thought
    00:15:49
    we understood about how scripture was
    00:15:52
    shaped. But if the name reveals
    00:15:54
    identity, [music] then the next question
    00:15:56
    becomes inevitable.
    00:15:58
    Who made the decision to change it? And
    00:16:00
    why would any empire dare to alter the
    00:16:02
    most sacred word in the Bible? The truth
    00:16:05
    is unsettling. The change wasn't
    00:16:07
    linguistic. It was political. [music]
    00:16:09
    The sacred name of God once spoken by
    00:16:12
    prophets and sung by priests collided
    00:16:14
    with the machinery of empire. In Rome,
    00:16:16
    power was centralized around one figure,
    00:16:19
    the [music] emperor. To proclaim a
    00:16:20
    divine name above all earthly rulers,
    00:16:23
    was more than theology. It was
    00:16:25
    insurrection. A god with a personal
    00:16:28
    name, a name invoked in covenant
    00:16:30
    loyalty, threatened the emperor's claim
    00:16:32
    to supremacy.
    00:16:35
    And so the name that once thundered
    00:16:36
    through the wilderness became a [music]
    00:16:38
    whisper,
    00:16:40
    then a silence.
    00:16:42
    History shows that the moment scripture
    00:16:44
    entered the world of empire, the name
    00:16:47
    began to disappear when Jewish [music]
    00:16:49
    scholars translated the Hebrew Bible
    00:16:51
    into Greek, the Septuagent. They faced a
    00:16:54
    world unfamiliar with Israel's God.
    00:16:57
    To make the text [music] accessible,
    00:16:59
    they replaced the name with Curios Lord.
    00:17:03
    not out [music] of contempt but caution.
    00:17:06
    Yet this single choice meant [music] to
    00:17:08
    ease understanding set off a chain
    00:17:10
    reaction lasting centuries.
    00:17:13
    In the Latin world, Jerome continued the
    00:17:16
    tradition in the Vulgate [music] using
    00:17:18
    dominus. Again, a title, not a name. By
    00:17:21
    the Middle Ages, reverence for the name
    00:17:24
    evolved into fear. Rabbis had long
    00:17:26
    debated the proper way to honor it, some
    00:17:28
    saying it should be spoken only [music]
    00:17:30
    by the high priest once a year.
    00:17:33
    European Christians influenced by these
    00:17:35
    traditions and by their own theological
    00:17:38
    anxieties [music] chose not to speak the
    00:17:40
    name at all. Eventually they stopped
    00:17:43
    writing it. The name became too holy to
    00:17:46
    speak. So [music] they stopped writing
    00:17:48
    it. And what was meant to protect
    00:17:51
    reverence ended up erasing memory. The
    00:17:54
    desire to honor the name birthed
    00:17:56
    generations who never knew it.
    00:17:59
    What began as humility turned into
    00:18:01
    [music] absence.
    00:18:03
    And the Western world inherited a Bible
    00:18:06
    where the most sacred word in scripture
    00:18:08
    was replaced again and again until few
    00:18:11
    even realized it had been removed.
    00:18:14
    But across the sea, Ethiopia [music]
    00:18:16
    whispered the name through centuries
    00:18:18
    untouched by empire, untouched by fear.
    00:18:22
    While Rome debated hierarchy and Europe
    00:18:24
    [music] wrestled with translation,
    00:18:27
    Ethiopian monks still chanted ancient
    00:18:29
    titles, still preserved primordial forms
    00:18:32
    of the divine name,
    00:18:34
    still held the memory the world [music]
    00:18:36
    had forgotten.
    00:18:38
    If this revelation speaks to you, let
    00:18:41
    your voice join ours.
    00:18:44
    Share what this awakening stirs in your
    00:18:46
    spirit. This journey is larger than any
    00:18:48
    one story. It is a restoration. And now,
    00:18:52
    as we near the end of this
    00:18:54
    investigation,
    00:18:56
    a final question rises like a tide.
    00:18:59
    If the name survived intact [music] in
    00:19:02
    Ethiopia,
    00:19:04
    what does that mean for the future of
    00:19:05
    faith itself? When the world asks where
    00:19:08
    the name went,
    00:19:10
    Ethiopia answers, "We never hid [music]
    00:19:13
    it."
    00:19:14
    In a global story shaped by empires,
    00:19:16
    councils, translations, and revisions,
    00:19:20
    Ethiopia stands as living proof that
    00:19:22
    scripture can survive unbroken. [music]
    00:19:24
    While Western Christianity sifted its
    00:19:27
    texts through political tides and
    00:19:29
    theological filters, Ethiopia's faith
    00:19:31
    [music] grew in a different soil,
    00:19:33
    untouched by Rome's hierarchy, untouched
    00:19:36
    by Europe's revisions, untouched by
    00:19:38
    colonial hands that redrrew the map of
    00:19:41
    religion. It is not Ethiopia that boasts
    00:19:44
    [music] of preserving the name. It is
    00:19:46
    history that confirms it. In the GZ
    00:19:49
    manuscripts, [music] the bridge between
    00:19:51
    ancient Israel and African Christianity
    00:19:53
    is still standing. For Ethiopia, the
    00:19:56
    Bible was not merely a book to be
    00:19:57
    studied. It was a lineage, a
    00:20:00
    continuation of covenant memory that
    00:20:02
    began long before the rise of Western
    00:20:04
    Christendom.
    00:20:06
    The Giz Bible carried books that once
    00:20:08
    [music] shaped the earliest Jewish and
    00:20:10
    Christian imagination.
    00:20:12
    Enoch Jubilees, the ascension of Isaiah
    00:20:15
    works grounded in the worldview of
    00:20:17
    second temple Judaism.
    00:20:19
    These weren't [music] extra to Ethiopia.
    00:20:21
    They were integral. And within those
    00:20:23
    pages, the divine name was never
    00:20:26
    softened, never substituted, never
    00:20:29
    erased. In Ethiopian liturgy, hymns echo
    00:20:32
    ancient titles of God names sung with
    00:20:34
    reverence, [music] not fear. In
    00:20:36
    monasteries carved from living rock,
    00:20:38
    centuries old prayers still carry the
    00:20:41
    rhythm of a covenant spoken long before
    00:20:43
    Latin replaced Hebrew. In every
    00:20:45
    generation, monks copied manuscripts by
    00:20:48
    hand, [music]
    00:20:49
    ensuring that no empire's agenda would
    00:20:51
    overwrite the sacred memory entrusted to
    00:20:53
    them. This is why Ethiopia matters. Not
    00:20:56
    because it is exotic [music] or
    00:20:58
    mysterious, but because it shows what
    00:21:00
    faith looks like when it is allowed to
    00:21:02
    remain whole.
    00:21:04
    It shows [music] what scripture becomes
    00:21:06
    when the name is preserved, not
    00:21:07
    replaced.
    00:21:09
    It shows that the earliest echoes of
    00:21:11
    God's identity did not vanish. They
    00:21:14
    simply survived [music] where the world
    00:21:16
    wasn't looking. And now the weight of
    00:21:19
    the question shifts from history to
    00:21:21
    [music] the present moment. Maybe the
    00:21:23
    question was never why did the world
    00:21:26
    change God's name?
    00:21:28
    Maybe the real question is, will our
    00:21:31
    generation dare to [music] restore it?
    00:21:34
    Because if the name truly reveals
    00:21:36
    identity, then remembering [music] it is
    00:21:38
    not an academic exercise.
    00:21:41
    It is an act of returning an act of
    00:21:42
    covenant, an act of faith, rediscovering
    00:21:45
    its roots.
    00:21:47
    Some truths were hidden by accident.
    00:21:49
    Some truths were hidden by fear. But the
    00:21:52
    name, the name was hidden by history.
    00:21:56
    Across centuries of translation, empire
    00:21:58
    and tradition, [music] its voice grew
    00:22:00
    faint. Yet it never disappeared. It
    00:22:03
    waited in manuscripts, in [music]
    00:22:04
    ancient prayers, in the memory of a
    00:22:06
    people who refused to let covenant be
    00:22:08
    rewritten. Our journey through Ethiopia,
    00:22:11
    Israel, and the story of scripture has
    00:22:13
    revealed one thing. Above all, faith
    00:22:16
    loses [music] its center.
    00:22:18
    When it forgets the one who named
    00:22:20
    himself
    00:22:22
    and yet this isn't merely a story about
    00:22:24
    the [music] past,
    00:22:25
    it is an invitation to the present, a
    00:22:28
    reminder that intimacy with God begins
    00:22:30
    not with titles, [music] but with
    00:22:32
    recognition. Ethiopia isn't the end of
    00:22:35
    our search. It is a signpost pointing
    00:22:37
    back to a path the world abandoned too
    00:22:39
    [music] quickly.
    00:22:41
    To remember the name is to remember the
    00:22:44
    relationship.
    00:22:46
    If a whole nation can preserve the
    00:22:48
    ancient memory of [music] God's name,
    00:22:50
    maybe you can preserve it in your heart.

    just beneath the surface of the

    Description:

    Most Christians read their Bible without ever hearing about the ethiopian bible, one of the oldest and most mysterious Christian canons on earth. Inside the ethiopian bible are names, titles, and sacred patterns that raise a shocking question: did someone deliberately change the name of God? In this video, we explore how the ethiopian bible preserves ancient ways of speaking about God that disappeared from many Western translations. We’ll look at what the ethiopian bible includes, how it was protected in Ethiopia for centuries, and why its witness challenges the story most of us were taught about scripture and tradition. If you’ve ever felt that something was missing from your faith, this ancient canon may help you see God with fresh eyes. 👉 If this video helps you think deeper about God’s name and the ethiopian bible, please like the video, subscribe to the channel, turn on the notification bell, and share it with friends who love Bible history and truth.
