Why must the name Israel be spoken and written in Hebrew as Yisa'el?

The name of Israel was spoken first in the Hebrew language because the Almighty belonged to the Hebrew people as mentioned in Exodus 3:18. When the Bible said He was of the Hebrews, it is saying that He belongs to them for the word "of" means "belonging to" and if one belongs to something, one has accepted it.

One cannot accept the Hebrew people in the beginning without accepting their language named after them. To further show that the Almighty has only accepted this language to put His names in, He has placed His only salvation name in the Hebrew language by His own confession in Acts 26:14-15, making Hebrew the only pure language because His name can only be in a pure language according to Zephaniah 3:9.

Therefore, if a name is to be pure which means to be acceptable in His sight, it must be in Hebrew. This is why the original name of Israel was Yisra'el which is the literal spelling of the name in Hebrew as proven by #3478 in the Hebrew Dictionary of the Strong's Concordance.

Today Jews leave out the "Aleph" represented by " ' " in the name Yisra'el because it is difficult to teach as proven by the explanation on the first page in the Hebrew Dictionary of the Strong's Concordance. In doing this, they lead the way in changing the pronunciation among Hebrew people. The English people have changed it worse by respelling it as Israel. All of this fulfills the enemy's plot of doing away with the remembrance of the name of Yisra'el as stated in Psalms 83:1-5.

Being called by the name Yisra'el and being Yisra'el makes a difference in receiving all the promises of the Almighty (Exodus 11:7) which includes not being destroyed due to this knowledge (Hosea 4:6) which is divine knowledge (Numbers 24:16; Exodus 31:3; Exodus 35:31) found under #1847 in the Hebrew Dictionary of the Strong's Concordance which means cunning or making one wise in doing something.

The lack of this Divine knowledge destroys His people and the rejection of this knowledge also destroys as stated in Hosea 4:6. The following scriptures describe this type of knowledge:

1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you.
6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
Deuteronomy 4:1, 6-7

To reject or not have the knowledge of the name of Yisra'el and not being Yisra'el, is to put one out of the covenants of promise; making one a Gentile as proven by Isaiah 63:18-19; Jeremiah 31:33-37; Ephesians 2:11-12, 19; Romans 9:4-6, 8.

18 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19 We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
Isaiah 63:18-19

4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Romans 9:4-6, 8

According to the scriptures and dictionaries, there are only two kinds of people: non-Yisra'el called Gentiles and Yisra'el which is the surname of the sons and daughters of the Almighty (Isaiah 44:1, 3, 5; II Kings 7:34; Isaiah 63:16, 18-19; Isaiah 43:6-7; II Samuel 7:24; Ephesians 2:11-14, 19).

This is why it is a requirement of complete deliverance in II Chronicles 7:14, that the person who is praying be called by the name created by the Almighty for His people which is Yisra'el, according to II Kings 17:34. The Almighty wants this name to be acknowledged as part of His covenants of promise (proof: Ephesians 2:11-12, 19; Isaiah 63:18-19; II Chronicles 7:14).

Those that bear this name are created for His glory according to Isaiah 43:6-7; Isaiah 44:1, 3, 5, 8; making it a divine glorified name. To know who is Yisra'el today is a mystery and it is the enemy's plan to hide this name (Psalms 83:1-3) which will break the requirements of complete deliverance (II Chronicles 7:14).

This was a mystery revealed in the New Testament only to the true apostles and prophets as proven by Ephesians 3:3-7; therefore one cannot claim to be a sent apostle or prophet until one receives this revelation. However, one can be called into the truth for many are called but few are chosen (Matthew 22:14).

One can receive the name Yisra'el only by direct revelation of 'Elohiym (God) or through a minister who has learned this from a true apostle or prophet. Beyth-'el Temple, Inc., conducted the divine revelational research and has restored the ancient Hebrew spelling of this name by providing each letter in English with the same sound (literal transliteration.

Only the true church can have the mysteries of 'Elohiym (God). The enemy is against the name of Yisra'el and make efforts to change it according to Psalms 83:1-5. Nevertheless, one can spread this name to others. For only Yisra'el are His witnesses (Isaiah 44:1, 3, 5, 8) and can receive all of the covenants of promise (Ephesians 2:11-12, 19).

1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:
3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
5 One shall say, I am the Lord's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord, and surname himself by the name of Israel.
8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
Isaiah 44:1, 3, 5, 8

11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Ephesians 2:11-12, 19

The name Yisra'el and the services attached to it, and the signs of healing in the original Hebrew salvation name of Jesus coming from the true Apostles' doctrine, identifies them and the true apostles under one chief apostle (Matthew 16:13-19; Mark 16:15-17; Acts 26:14-15; Isaiah 52:6; Acts 2:42).

All of the sons and daughters of the divine Father have this name forever (II Kings 17:34; Isaiah 63:16, 18-19; II Samuel 7:24; Ephesians 2:11-12, 19) because they are citizens of the kingdom of Yisra'el ruled by Yasha` which is Jesus in English, being the king of Yisra'el (John 1:47-48; Matthew 2:4-12; John 12:12-16).

No one could be King of Yisa'el without being Yisra'el (Deuteronomy 17:15). This is why in prophesy Mashiyach (Christ) was named Yisra'el as proven by Isaiah 49:3, 6, fulfilled in Luke 2:32 and Acts 13:47; Acts 26:18. Those under His ruler ship is only Yisra'el because He is king of Yisra'el.

He rules through His Chief Apostle (Ecclesiastes 12:11; John 10:16) who transfers the doctrine to the other officers of the church (Ephesians 4:11) and from them the church is perfected. Therefore Yisra'el has been given leaders that can be recognized because they feed them with knowledge and understanding (Jeremiah 3:15).

11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Ephesians 4:11-12

15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Jeremiah 3:15

This is the only way they will be able to know the mysteries of 'elohiym (God) according to Deuteronomy 29:29. These pastors will receive the secrets of the mysteries from the apostles who had it first as their leaders (Matthew 13:10-11; I Corinthians 12:28) who receives it from their Chief (Matthew 16:13-19; II Corinthians 7:5; Ecclesiastes 12:11; John 10:17).

Therefore one can recognize the Chief Apostle and others sent because they can explain the mysteries of the kingdom or Bible. Yisra'el and the church being one body named Yisra'el, is a mystery according to Ephesians 3:3-6 and only true apostles and prophets will know this!

3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Ephesians 3:3-6

Beyth-'el Temple, Inc., fulfills Jeremiah 3:15 in providing knowledge and understanding of the saving secret name of the Almighty (Isaiah 52:6) and the secret name of His people in its fullness (Ephesians 2:11-12, 19-20; Ephesians 3:3-6) changed by the enemy (Psalms 83:1-5).
