That said, there is widespread opinion that the modern Christian Protestant Bible (New Testament) is an accurate reflection of the occurrences that are reported in it. I do not rule out the possibility that there are errors of fact or errors of interpretation in it.
Likewise, there is widespread opinion that the Hebrew “Old Testament” is an accurate reflection of the occurrences that are reported in it. I do not rule out the possibility that there are errors of fact or errors of interpretation in it.
I am preparing this version in the profound belief that the Bible IS a fundamentally important book AND that translation errors in all versions are leading to misunderstandings and wrong doctrine and that by correcting translation errors that are almost universal I can assist those seeking truth to make a significant step forward and in the process correct some major fundamental doctrinal errors, particularly with regard to Yahooshua.

The True Name Yah in these books
In particular, the true Name of the Almighty Creator is "Yah the Eternally Self-Existing" -- His essential Name is "Yah" and this name cannot be abbreviated, translated or otherwise tampered with -- this is the name we are told NOT to take in vain.
Yah the Eternally Self-Existing is rendered "Yahweh" by some or more correctly "Yahooeh" and is incorrectly translated as "The LORD" in just about all English translations as well as translations in other languages derived from the English -- this incorrect translation occurs 6,399 times in the Books from Genesis to Malachi and is also incorrectly translated "God" 314 times and "LORD's" 111 times.
The true Name Yah occurs ONCE in the King James Version at Psalm 68:4 and even there it is incorrectly translated as "Jah".
This huge error is an insult to Yah and grossly distorts the focus of the Bible -- the ETI Version will seek to rectify this error when I get to those books.
Looking at the current work, the so-called "New Testament" the true Name, Yah, does NOT occur at all in the Greek from MatthihYahoo to Revelation -- it is masked by "the Lord", "God" and "Christ".
The ETI Version corrects this and at time of writing Yah occurs 4,759 times -- this will change slightly as I edit the remaining books, I have currently completed from MattihYahoo to 1 Corinthians inclusive. This correction radically changes the emphasis of these books and brings the focus back to Yah, where it belongs.
My perspective based on firsthand experience of the Anointing and Power of the Spirit of the Creator in and on me
In rendering the ETI Version I have done so on the basis of my personal deep experience of the Anointing and leading of the Set-Apart {Holy} Spirit of the Creator. I have had much personal experience walking with Him and talking with Him and being led by Him in many ways. I therefore relate to the content of the Bible on a basis of first hand understanding of the Anointed ones whose lives, sayings and experiences form the core of the Bible stories.
In doing this it has been apparent to me that most people, including most Believers, do not have such experience, and, accordingly, misinterpret much of what is reported in the Bible. I have done my best to render the ETI Version from the perspective of one with a close relationship with the Creator and with a strong Anointing and I hope you will find this helpful.
As such, much of my Commentary is based on what I believe Yah has personally shown to me.
Why read the Bible?
The most important reason to read the Bible is to learn from the lives of Anointed Believers through the ages with a view to also operating in the power of the Spirit of the Creator on oneself. Look particularly at the life of Yahooshua {Jesus} as an example of what can be accomplished by a true Believer deeply filled with the Spirit of the Creator.
Missing Books in the Bible
In 1993, when I first started my walk with Father Yah in earnest and started reading the Bible intensively, I asked Father about the fact that there were 66 books in the Protestant Bible (New King James Version) that I was reading, since 6 is the number of man. He replied that men had “been messing with the Bible” and that there were many missing books, most of which are locked away in a vault in the Vatican library.
This knowledge let me on a journey to constantly look out for missing information and a lot of my writings, as presented on my website www.ETIMin.org fill in some of these gaps. There are many other writings in the world which fill in other gaps. The FULL story of Yah and His ways is far more detailed than contained in the Bible and could be given by any one person.
With regard to Yahooshua {Jesus} Yahoochanan {John} 21:25 says “And there are also many other things which Yahooshua did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.”
While this is no doubt an exaggeration, the principle remains that there is undoubtedly a huge amount that Yahooshua taught that is NOT contained in the Bible. By extension, this relates to the other periods covered by the Bible as well.
The Bible and “The Holy Word of God”
Beyond this there is widespread Christian opinion that “The Bible is the Holy Word of God and without error!” where the word translated Holy in English is the Hebrew word “Qodesh” which means “Set-Apart” or “Separated”.
If one fasts and prays and seeks Father Yah on this you will hear clearly that the Bible is not the Word of Yah, only about 2.5% is inspired but it is a largely reliable history book. In this context, careful comparison of the events relating to Yahooshua in the four books of the Good News {Gospels} of Yahooshua will reveal many discrepancies. One of the most notable discrepancies relates to the death of Yahoodah of Kerioth in the book of MattihYahoo 27:3-10 where MattihYahoo says Yahoodah hanged himself and Acts 1:18-19, where Luke says Yahoodah fell headlong and his guts spilled out. Clearly Yahoodah died one way or the other, not both. There are all sorts of apologetics that seek to reconciled these two passages but this is not necessary if one simply regards the Bible as a useful reference work with a wealth of early history from which one can draw lessons and which contains errors and inconsistencies. This is the basis on which this version is presented while seeking to address those errors and inconsistencies that I am aware of.
Fundamental to my position on this is a deep conviction that the Almighty Creator desires a deep personal relationship with every person on the planet and that, while the Bible is a useful resource, the primary source of knowledge should flow from a personal relationship with the Creator in which one hears Him and speaks to Him constantly, see “2022.07.01 The Essence of what our Father wants from YOU” at https://www.ETIMin.org/essence-of-what-our-father-wants-from-you
On this basis, if something does not add up in the Bible, turn directly to the Creator – this version is intended to assist you with this.
Kerioth is a more accurate rendering of “Iscariot” relating to Yahoodah from Kerioth, Judas Iscariot
