Keion Sampson
Servant Leader
Keion genuinely loves Scripture and proving its truths, having graduated from a small Bible school in 2011. For over 20 years he has studied the Scriptures, reading in the ancient Hebrew and Greek languages, studies other Semitic languages and scripts, and loves history and archaeology, especially as connected to the world of the Bible.
A Story of Love
Keion was a congregant for 12 years with a Messianic organization and by a strong conviction and the guidance of the Spirit led him to apply his knowledge in Semitic linguistics to help others on a difficult question, the Messiah's true name. Seeing the many ideas present today with various forms and how important an emphasis the Scripture places on the Messiah's name (Acts 4:12), he set out on a private mission to stand on Truth and prove all things. After two years the fruits of this effort saw a "revolutionary" discovery with all the research presented freely on his Academia.edu website that immediately generated interest. He proved what was known by his teacher, late Elder Jacob O. Meyer (but called the diphthong), and even more, showing that the confusion today with many of the Hebrew names with what should be the ONE abbreviation of Yahweh in that name, especially as in the Messiah's very name, are actually results of traditions of men, related to a religio-linguistic convention from Jewish tradition begun at the exile he calls: Intentional Misrepresentation of the Abbreviated Sacred Name. All the forms with Ye- (Jeshua, Jesus), -yahu (Nethanyahu), Yo- (John, Jonathan), Yeho- (Jehoshaphat), etc. are later or modifications of the first and only abbreviation. Before the exile the three letters (yhw, יהו) were only: yahw- (a noun form common even into the Greek period before epenthesis, e.g. ʿabd [servant], later ʿebed) abbreviated from Yahweh. The tradition causing the change is the ancestor to that practiced in Judaism that avoids using the name Yahweh today (deemed too sacred to pronounce) which started at the exile to Babylon. He confirmed the New Testament believers did use the name, against traditions at the time.
Although not everyone approved of the research and he was excommunicated from the group for this, called false doctrine, he recognized the need for Faith to be always nourished through the Holy Spirit's guidance, humility, and prayer. Read it here titled: The Name of יהושע: A Reexamination of the Form of the Sacred Name Compounded in Personal Names in its Religious Contexts.
The love of Yahweh and power of the Holy Spirit sent by Yahwshua amazingly confirmed His truth every step of the journey culminating in Ekklesia Yahweh, a ministry to prepare us for the truth that Yahwshua the Messiah is coming soon and we must get our hearts ready.
