Does a Roman Pagan Give Us Clues About The Messiah's Name?

A Roman Pagan by the name of Celsus around 178 CE engaged in debate


with Christians of the time. He goes on to state,

"But of course they think otherwise: they assume that by pronouncing the
name of their teacher they are armored against the powers of the earth and
air. And they are quite insistent on the efficacy of the name as a means of
protection: pronounce it improperly, they say, and it is ineffective. Greek and
Latin will not do; it must be said in a barbarian tongue to work. Silly as they
are, one finds them standing next to a a statue of Zeus or Apollo or some
other god, and shouting, "see here: I blaspheme it and strike it, but it is
powerless against me for I am a Christian" - (Celsus on the True Doctrine, A
Discourse Against the Christians, R. Joseph Hoffman)

There are few Christians today that understand that YHVH is God the father's
true name and it is spelled phonetically “Yahuah”. The Kabbalistic Jews
which Christ referred to as the synagogue of Satan had declared his name to
be ineffable around 200 BC. This was one of the reasons they kept accusing
Christ of being a blasphemer. He was using the name Yahuah which they had
replaced nearly 7000 times in the Old Testament with the word “LORD”.
Yahuah had warned against this in Jer 23:27 "Which think to cause my
people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his
neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal." When you
understand that Baal literally means Lord you will realize they have caused
his people to forget its name for Baal. Even in the New Testament you find
that in the KJ V that famous Mason, Francis Bacon translated Old Testament
names to mean things like “servant of Zeus” in his original transliteration of
the name Elijah. All of the names all of the names ending in IAH or AH in
fact end in Yahu or Yah In the Hebrew. These are a shortened form of
Yahuah. So if you are really going to have used Elijah's name properly it
would have been something more like Eliyahu. Christ's true Hebrew name is
Yahusha. So Celsus understands more properly than most present-day
confessing Christians about the living God's name and gives testimony to the
fact that the Christians in that day held to the power of the proper names
Yahuah and Yahusha in their original language.
