The Secret Name Now Revealed

One of the most prominent Rabbis in Israel was Yitzhak Kaduri. When he died a year ago at the remarkable age of 108, over 200,000 attended his funeral. A few months before he died, he wrote a small note, which he requested should remain sealed for a year after his death.

It has been recently unsealed; it is now obvious why his last wish was to wait one year after his death before revealing what he wrote. (The custom is that for one so long departed he is less vulnerable to post-mortem derogatory attacks.) The secret note (written in Hebrew) reads as follows:

Regarding the Reishei-Tivot of Mashiach: He will lift the people and prove that his word and law are valid. Written with my signature in the month of Rachamim [Elul], 5765, Yitzhak Kaduri.

The term Reishei-Tivot is a reference to a common mode of kabbalistic "coding," wherein a name or phrase is spelled using the first letters of the words in a sentence or paragraph. The Hebrew sentence (translated above in bold) contains the hidden name of the Messiah as an acrostic:

Yarim Ha'am Veyokhiakh Shedvaro Vetorato Omidim

The initial letters form an acrostic for Yehoshua (or Yeshua, which is the same name [Cf. Zechariah 6:11; Ezra 3:2. The same priest adds the holy abbreviation of God's name, "ho", in the father's name and Yeshua.]), derived from the same Hebrew root for "salvation." Yehoshua is the English spelling for YHWH ("Yahweh is salvation" or "Yahweh saves"). Most English Bibles mistakenly translate YHWH as "the LORD." But God said, literally, "I am YHWH; that is my name (Isaiah 42:8). The Messiah's name is Jesus!

When the name of Yehoshua was revealed in Rabbi Kaduri's message, Jewish rabbis--especially the ultra-Orthodox--have found this extremely unsettling. There were some initial attempts to deny the authenticity of the note (even by Kaduri's son, Rabbi David Kaduri), but they have proven futile. Israel Today has confirmed the reliability of the report.
