  • The ceremony for a "forbidden" utterance of the Tetragrammaton

    Some say the Talmudic Jewish priests decided it wasn't fitting for ordinary people to utter the most holy name of GOD | YHWH. Talmudic priests campaigned to obliterate use of the Divine Name. The Talmud forbade on penalty of death the uttering of this Name HaShem. This prohibition was in effect at the time of Jesus' advent.

    The Pharisees were the Talmud-enforcers attacking Jesus because He used the Name!
    There is evidence that Jesus was killed to a large extent for using the Hidden Name.
    In John chapter 8 they wanted to stone Him because He said "Before Abraham was, I AM". Was this a clear reference to the Divine Name?

    It has been pointed out that the trial of Jesus closely resembled the format of a blasphemy trial, for use of the Hidden Name. In Mark's Gospel Jesus answered " I AM" when asked if He was the Son of the Blessed.

    It is recorded that the High Priest then rent his clothes.
    This was the prescribed ceremony for a "forbidden" utterance of the Tetragrammaton.
