Four times is the Name mentioned in John 17 and they are mentioned to make a very important point.


John 17 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
17 After Yeshua had said these things, he looked up toward heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, so that the Son may glorify you — 2 just as you gave him authority over all mankind, so that he might give eternal life to all those whom you have given him. 3 And eternal life is this: to know you, the one true God, and him whom you sent, Yeshua the Messiah.

4 “I glorified you on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5 Now, Father, glorify me alongside yourself. Give me the same glory I had with you before the world existed.

6 “I made your name known to the people you gave me out of the world. They were yours, you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me is from you, 8 because the words you gave me I have given to them, and they have received them. They have really come to know that I came from you, and they have come to trust that you sent me.

9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given to me, because they are yours.

10 Indeed, all I have is yours, and all you have is mine, and in them I have been glorified. 11 Now I am no longer in the world. They are in the world, but I am coming to you. Holy Father, guard them by the power of your name, which you have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we are.

12 When I was with them, I guarded them by the power of your name, which you have given to me; yes, I kept watch over them; and not one of them was destroyed (except the one meant for destruction, so that the Tanakh might be fulfilled). 13 But now, I am coming to you; and I say these things while I am still in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves.

14 “I have given them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world — just as I myself do not belong to the world.

15 I don’t ask you to take them out of the world, but to protect them from the Evil One. 16 They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. 17 Set them apart for holiness by means of the truth — your word is truth. 18 Just as you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19 On their behalf I am setting myself apart for holiness, so that they too may be set apart for holiness by means of the truth.

20 “I pray not only for these, but also for those who will trust in me because of their word, 21 that they may all be one. Just as you, Father, are united with me and I with you, I pray that they may be united with us, so that the world may believe that you sent me. 22 The glory which you have given to me, I have given to them; so that they may be one, just as we are one — 23 I united with them and you with me, so that they may be completely one, and the world thus realize that you sent me, and that you have loved them just as you have loved me.

24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am; so that they may see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. 25 Righteous Father, the world has not known you, but I have known you, and these people have known that you sent me. 26 I made your name known to them, and I will continue to make it known; so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I myself may be united with them.”

1. Verse 9 Yeshua (Yahusha) doesn't pray for the world, only those the father has given to Him.

2. Verse 11 Guard them in the power of "Your Name". So, they might be as we are.

3. Now I am no longer in the world. They are in the world, but I am coming to you. Holy Father, guard them by the power of your name, which you have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we are

Yahusha asked the Father to guard them in His Name. Whose Name? The Father's Name. And whose Name does Yahusha share? The Father. So, just as the two are One, so is the Name.

4. The Greek version of the name Jesus contains none of the Hebrew letters, attributes and holiness of the Father's Name, YAHW.

5. Verse 21 so that they might be joined as One in what? The Name

Last verse, And I have made your Name known to them which was kept secret.

Notice, it says the name was kept secret? It is like a man named Yoseph giving gifts, in secret, to the people but somewhere at the beginning, someone told them it was someone named Jerry. So, they keep saying, "Thank You Jerry". While they are sincere, they do not use the Name of the True Provider. Meanwhile, this phoney Jerry gets all the adoration and praise without earning it.

6. Yahushua also prays for them who received their "WORD". What WORD is that? The disciples word given to them by Yahusha who is called the WORD? The Word was with God and is God.

I think this is so very important to grasp. The world is in control of the Babylonian System whose god is Zeus. Who is Zeus? He is king of the False gods. They have their many Ante-christs who have taken the place of Christ. You can be very sure that the Jesuits would not insert the name of the True God into their title. Consider that statement.

Yahusha has asked His people to come out of this world so they do not share in it's destruction. That coming out of her means discarding the False Name & False Worship that the Greek/Roman Translators slipped into the scriptures.

Do you realize that every time you call upon the name of Jesus, you call upon their god? Most do this in ignorance but once you have had the Holy Spirit reveal His Name, ( because you are one of the predestined) you should want to use His Name, the Name above All Names. How will others learn the truth if one who knows better keeps using the False Name?

Once you have learned Christmas is a pagan holiday, do you still observe it? Not if you are sincere about keeping His Word and His Name. Because The Father is merciful and knows that those that call themselves Jews but are not kept His Name secret, He knows who are His and He has saved them despite the great deception that these False Jews could have fabricated. I believe this shock of using the wrong name all of these centuries is the greatest deception played upon the people since the time of Christ.

Last verse again: And I have made your Name known to them which was kept secret.

Question: Has the name Jesus been kept secret? NO, it has not but His True Name that is connected to The Father has been kept secret except to this End Days generation that have been given so much Truth through His Holy Spirit.

The Oil in the lantern of the Bridesmaids that kept the lantern's full was the true Name. Half kept their Lanterns filled, the foolish did not and missed out at His Coming. How could they know who the true Bridegroom was? It is like the pre-tribbers today who will run after the call of a False Messiah to come meet him. They don't know His Name and they are still observing the holidays that promote Jesus. They just can't give up the traditions of men.
