If we only had a magic word, we could fix all the problems on the earth. Unfortunately life doesn’t work that way. But we do have a word of authority that we can use spiritually in all situations, the name Jesus Christ. Jesus is the logos of the Elohim. He is the living word of God. By His name all spiritual sons of God must bow. When we look at history we know that there were many things done to attempt to erase Jesus as Messiah. The strange thing is, when Jesus was on the earth, the demons all knew who he was. Demons testified of Jesus Christ. It is the name that holds the authority; not because it is a magic name, but because it has power and authority behind it. If we walk spiritually for Jesus, we have the use of his name. The authority of Jesus’ name supersedes all other names. What we learn from Jesus’s experiences with demons is that the demons are well aware of their rights, and in fear of their future. When Paul told us that every language will agree Yahweh Jesus Christ, he meant every earthy language, every heavenly language, and every language from the other sons of God. Because of Jesus’ coming to earth to rescue manfaced, he has a name that actuates changes on the earth. If we are of Jesus Christ we have the right to His name.
Paul talks about his suffering for the gospel and tells us that we will all experience suffering when we are preaching the gospel. While no one wants to suffer in any social regards, Paul says that there is a comfort for him. It is the fulfilling of Paul’s joy for us to know Jesus and have his love in one mind.

“Make full my joy in order that to have understanding Him, having His love, of one mind, have one understanding.”
The LXX-WH notes these pronouns more specifically, using 846 as compared to 1473. Notice here Paul says “think or understand”. It could be understand things, or understand Him, but not necessarily the “same”. In order to preach the gospel we do need to have the understanding of Jesus and His love and be of one mind having that one understanding. Not all people will think the same way about Jesus because we are all at different levels of maturity, but when it comes to preaching the gospel, we can have the understanding of Him and His love. This is why we are preaching the gospel, because Jesus loves people. We also suffer and endure because of His love for us. We can endure hardships because of his love. We also do not do anything for our own personal gain but for others.
Philippians 2:3 G3367 nothing G2596 according to G2052 contention G2228 or G2754 self seeking-glory; G235 but G3588 G5012 in humility, G240 [2one another G2233 1esteeming] G5242 superior G1438 than oneselves.

We are to have the understanding in us which is in Jesus Christ. The understanding is the joint heir partnership between Jesus the Messiah and us. Jesus came to earth in a human body as a servant, not like the gods and demi-gods who would come to earth to steal what they could from mortals.
Philippians 2:6 G3739 who G1722 [2in G3444 3 the appearance G2316 4of God G5224 1existing], G3756 [2not G725 3a seizure G2233 1esteemed it] G3588 G1510.1 to be G2470 equal G2316 with God;
7 G235 but G1438 emptied himself, G2758 G3444 [2 the appearance G1401 3of a bondman G2983 1having taken on], G1722 [2in G3667 3 the likeness G444 4of men G1096 1having become].
8 G2532 And G4976 in condition G2147 having been found G5613 as G444 a man, G5013 he humbled G1438 himself, G1096 having become G5255 subject G3360 unto G2288 death, G2288 even death G1161 G4716 of the cross.
The mythologies of the day did not have gods and demi-gods become sacrifices for the humans, but Jesus was not a demi-god, he was an Elohim. Yet as an Elohim he came to earth in a body to overcome death for every human. Now he has a name above all names.
Philippians 2:9 G1352 Therefore G2532 also G3588 G2316 God G1473 greatly exalted him, G5251 G2532 and G5483 granted G1473 to him G3686 the name G3588 G5228 above G3956 every G3686 name,
10 G2443 that G1722 at G3588 the G3686 name G* of Jesus G3956 every G1119 knee G2578 should bend -- G2032 heavenly, G2532 and G1919 earthly, G2532 and G2709 underground;
11 G2532 and G3956 every G1100 tongue G1843 should acknowledge G3754 that G2962 [3 is Lord G* 1Jesus G5547 2Christ] G1519 to G1391 the glory G2316 of God G3962 the father.
“And on which account the Elohim exalted Him exceedingly and granted Him by name the over all names in order that in the name Jesus all knees bow, celestial and terrestrial and subterranean, and all tongues agree out and out that Yahweh Jesus Messiah, into honor Elohim Father.”
The name of Jesus is over all names. The authority of the name of Jesus supersedes all other names, everywhere. All languages will admit and acknowledge Yahweh Jesus Messiah. It does not matter what religion a person has, Yahweh is Jesus Christ. In the origin, Jesus was the logos, he was Yahweh Elohim. Today Jesus is the living logos of the Elohim, and at his name (Yahweh Jesus Christ) every spiritual being bends their knees, no matter where they are. Bending the knee is submission. Every spiritual being submits to Yahweh Jesus Christ.
All names can be translated differently in various languages, and sometimes we misunderstand translated names because of variations in the usages of consonants and vowels in those other languages. For example, Yeshua is Hebrew and translated into English as Jesus. In English, translating back to Hebrew, Yeshua is Joshua. From Hebrew to Greek, Yeshua is Iesous. In Aramaic, the name Jesus is Eashoa. In Latin, Jesus is Iesvs, (remember Indiana Jones almost blew it with the “J” for Jehovah in The Last Crusade). Now, if we take the name Jesus and translate it into modern languages, we have a whole host of different variations. Which one is right? Truly, it doesn’t matter, the Angel told Mary and Joseph to call him Jesus, or in their Northern Israeli language of Aramaic, Eashoa. However in the Old Testament Jesus is called Joshua, not Joshua the son of Nun (at least this Joshua has an identifier), but Joshua the High Priest.
https://musingsofawinsomeheart.blogspot.com/2013/12/jesus-name-in-old-testament-messiah.html
We see the variation in Jesus’ name in different languages, but it is not the word, it is the authority that the name represents. We see this as Jesus walks through Israel healing people and the demons know who he is. Sometimes Jesus tells the demons not to tell people who he is.
Mark 1:34 G2532 And G2323 he cured G4183 many G2560 [2illnesses G2192 1having] G4164 of various G3554 diseases, G2532 and G1140 [2demons G4183 1many] G1544 he cast out; G2532 and G3756 he did not G863 allow G2980 [3to speak G3588 1the G1140 2demons], G3754 for G1492 they knew G1473 him.

The demons knew Jesus, the logos. The demons see him and understand who he is. Demons are disembodied spirits of the heirs of Nephilim, and they understand who Jesus is. Jesus did not discharge them to speak. Jesus did not release them to speak. Jesus did not permit them to speak. Because this was so early in Jesus’ ministry he did not want the knowledge of who he was to be announced yet. This causes people to question and become curious so that they come to know Jesus as more than someone who casts out demons.
If demons know who Jesus is, the living logos of the Elohim, Yahweh Jesus Christ, then it is reasonable to understand why Satanas would want to hide who Jesus is. The demons seem to be unable to control themselves when they are standing in front of the Creator.
Mark 3:11 G2532 And G3588 the G4151 [2spirits G3588 G169 1unclean], G3752 whenever G1473 they viewed him, G2334 G4363 fell at G1473 him, G2532 and G2896 cried out G3004 saying G3754 that, G1473 You G1510.2.2 are G3588 the G5207 son G3588 G2316 of God.
12 G2532 And G4183 [3much G2008 1he reproached G1473 2them], G2443 that G3361 [2not G1473 4him G5318 5apparent G4160 1they should 3make].
Demons see Jesus and fall towards or prostrate while crying out that Jesus is the Son of the Elohim. Demons are bowing to Jesus. They are yelling that Jesus is the Son of the Father Elohim. Let’s think about this. Demons torture and attempt to control the humans they inhabit. But when Jesus shows up they fall down and scream about who he is. They cannot control themselves. In order to control themselves Jesus has to command them not to speak. Yet in this case Jesus rebukes the demons so that they do not make him visible or open to sight.
Mark 5:7 G2532 And G2896 having cried out G5456 [2voice G3173 1with a great] G2036 he said, G5100 What is it G1473 to me G2532 and G1473 to you, G* Jesus, G5207 O son G3588 of the G2316 [2God G3588 G5310 1highest]? G3726 I adjure G1473 you G3588 G2316 by God G3361 that you should not G1473 torment me. G928
The LXX-WH translates this phrase as follows:
“Who to me and to thee”
The word “who” is an interrogative pronoun τίς, which could be translated “who” “which” or “what”. Basically this demon is asking who Jesus is there for, is it him? Or we might say, ‘who are you here for’. The demon is asking this question because he knows that he has every right to inhabit the man he possesses. The demon also knows that he is speaking for other demons, so maybe Jesus has come for another demon who broke the rules and can be sent to be tortured. Jesus tells the demon to come out from out of the manfaced.
Mark 5:8 G3004 For he said G1063 G1473 to him, G1831 Come forth, G3588 O G4151 [2spirit G3588 G169 1unclean] G1537 from out of G3588 the G444 man!
9 G2532 And G1905 he asked G1473 him, G5100 What G1473 is your G3686 name? G2532 And G611 he answered, G3004 saying, G3003 Legion G3686 is my name, G1473 G3754 for G4183 we are many. G1510.2.4
10 G2532 And G3870 he appealed to G1473 him G4183 much, G2443 that G3361 [2not G1473 4them G649 1he should 3send] G1854 outside G3588 the G5561 place.
The man in this incident had many demons, with one demon to speak for all of them. This demon notes Jesus as the Son of the highest Elohim. This demon is asking Jesus to swear an oath by the Elohim not to torture him. It is interesting that this demon, who is in a higher position over the other demons inside this man, adjures or asks for an oath from Jesus not to torment him. In other words the demon is asking not to be beaten up. This is the ultimate reality for demons, they will be tortured, but not now. There is a place designated for demons to be tortured, eternally. This demon keeps asking and calling to Jesus to not torture him and send them “outside the region”. This demon is asking not to go to the final place of torture, so Jesus sent them into the pigs. The demon knew who Jesus was and begged for his life, so to speak. Ultimately that demon and the others had to obey Jesus, they had to leave their human host.
Luke 4:31 G2532 And G2718 he went down G1519 unto G* Capernaum, G4172 a city G3588 G* of Galilee, G2532 and G1510.7.3 was G1321 teaching G1473 them G1722 on G3588 the G4521 Sabbaths.
32 G2532 And G1605 they were overwhelmed G1909 at G3588 G1322 his teaching, G1473 G3754 for G1722 [3with G1849 4authority G1510.7.3 2was G3588 G3056 1his word]. G1473
The people in Capernaum were thunderstruck or astounded by his teachings because his logos was with exousia, or superhuman, or like a potentate. Jesus is the logos, so of course his words had the power and authority of a superhuman potentate. He is/was a superhuman potentate. Yet the people did not know or understand who exactly he was. It seems we can count on our enemies to tell the truth when under duress.
Luke 4:33 G2532 And G1722 in G3588 the G4864 synagogue G1510.7.3 was G444 a man G2192 having G4151 a spirit G1140 [2demon G169 1of an unclean], G2532 and G349 he shouted aloud G5456 [2voice G3173 1with a great],
Luke covers all the bases here, calling this spirit an “unclean demon”. This spirit who is an unclean demon shouts very loudly. Why are they always shouting? Is it because they are trying to be heard, when normally people can’t hear them? Why are they so scared of Jesus?
Luke 4:34 G3004 saying, G1436 Alas, G5100 what is it G1473 to us G2532 and G1473 to you, G* Jesus -- G* Nazarene? G2064 Are you come G622 to destroy G1473 us? G1492 I know G1473 you, G5100 who G1510.2.2 you are, G3588 the G39 holy one G3588 G2316 of God.
This is the second time we see this phrase used. The LXX-WH records it this way.
“Aha who for us and to thee Jesus Nazarene to come destroy us. ”
This unclean demon spirit is asking who of them Jesus came to destroy. By the question alone we see that there must be more than one unclean demon sprit present. The unclean demon spirit says “I know you, who you are”. How does this demon know Jesus? Jesus is the creator, he sees Jesus with spiritual eyes, being a spirit and all. He knows Jesus, which can also tell us that he had some other encounter with either Jesus or Yahweh Elohim, prior to Jesus’ coming to the earth. Was this demon among the people of Sodom? Was this demon among the Philistines? Was this demon among the rulers of Babylon? If this unclean demon spirit was among all the other enemies of Israel throughout the ages, he would certainly have come in contact with Yahweh Jesus Christ.
This unclean demon spirit calls Jesus “the Holy the Elohim”. This tells us that other religious leaders were not of the Holy Elohim, and he can see the difference. This demon is not crying loudly when the Pharisees walk by. He is not intimidated when the Sadducees come to the synagogue. He is obviously feeling tortured by the presence of Jesus Christ.
It is also important to notice that some demons know their rights. They know that they cannot be sent to be tortured until their time
Luke 4:35 G2532 And G2008 [2reproached G1473 3him G3588 G* 1Jesus], G3004 saying, G5392 Be halted, G2532 and G1831 come forth G1537 from G1473 him! G2532 And G4495 [3having tossed G1473 4him G3588 1the G1140 2demon] G1519 into G3319 the midst, G1831 came forth G575 from G1473 him, G3367 in nothing G984 having hurt G1473 him.
Jesus rebuked this unclean demon spirit and said “be muzzled or silenced”. Everyone saw what Jesus said and what the unclean demon spirit’s response was. Everyone saw Jesus the logos as a superhuman potentate.
Luke 4:36 G2532 And G1096 there became G2285 a stupefaction G1909 upon G3956 all, G2532 and G4814 they conversed together G4314 with G240 one another, G3004 saying, G5100 What G3588 G3056 word G3778 is this, G3754 that G1722 with G1849 authority G2532 and G1411 power G2004 he gives orders G3588 to the G169 unclean G4151 spirits, G2532 and G1831 they come forth?
There became an amazement over all the people in Capernum that day. The people ask among themselves what logos (exousia) superhuman potentate power and (dunamis) miracle working power commands the unclean spirits and they come out. Jesus is the logos. His name is the logos of the Elohim. That is his power. The power does not lie in the actual name “Jesus” or “Joshua” it lies in the position that he has as Creator and Elohim.
Jesus now goes to Peter’s house. He heals Peters mother-in-law, then the demons testify of Jesus again.
Luke 4:41 G1831 And there came forth G1161 G2532 also G1140 demons G575 from G4183 many, G2896 crying out G2532 and G3004 saying G3754 that, G1473 You G1510.2.2 are G3588 the G5547 Christ G3588 the G5207 son G3588 G2316 of God. G2532 And G2008 reproaching, G3756 he did not G1439 allow G1473 them G2980 to speak; G3754 for G1492 they knew G3588 [3the G5547 4Christ G1473 1him G1510.1 2to be].
This time demons coming out of many people declared the same thing. They shouted that he, Jesus, is the Christ, the Son of the Elohim. Right here, early in Jesus’ ministry, demons declare Jesus the Messiah. The people knew Jesus was a Nazarene but they did not know that Jesus was the Messiah until the demons announced it. The demons were announcing Jesus as the Son of the Most High, the Son of the Elohim, and now they are declaring him Messiah.
Luke records that the demons associated with Legion asked not to go into the abyss. The abyss is a bottomless pit.
Luke 8:31 G2532 And G3870 they appealed to G1473 him G2443 that G3361 he should not G2004 give orders G1473 to them G1519 [2into G3588 3the G12 4abyss G565 1to go forth].

This is not the place that humans go. We see from Revelation 9 that it is a locked place where smoke will come out when opened. Then locusts will come out during the fifth trumpet. The angel of the abyss is Abaddon or Apollyon, Gog the Locust king.
This is important to understand. Demons have a set time on the earth. They have rules that they must abide by, which is why demons ask Jesus who he had come for, they must abide by the rule that they can inhabit a human if the human gives them permission. Once the human wants them to leave they are no longer allowed in that human unless the human is tricked into allowing them in again.
Luke 8:35 G1831 And they came forth G1161 G1492 to behold G3588 the G1096 thing taking place. G2532 And G2064 they came G4314 to G3588 G* Jesus, G2532 and G2147 they found G2521 [8sitting down G3588 1the G444 2man G575 3from G3739 4whom G3588 5the G1140 6demons G1831 7had went forth], G2439 being dressed G2532 and G4993 being of a sound mind, G3844 by G3588 the G4228 feet G3588 G* of Jesus; G2532 and G5399 they feared.
Now we see the man who had the legion of demons leave him, sitting at Jesus’ feet. He was wearing clothes. He also had a sound mind, he was able to think clearly. Demons make people crazy. Sometimes we look at the society around us and wonder why people with loud voices act and behave insanely. Demons have loud voices. Unclean demon spirits, the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim that are going to be chained and tortured in the abyss make their human host crazy. Demons know their future. They are not stupid, they are fully aware of what will happen when Jesus returns on the Day of the Lord.
What the unclean demon spirits reacted to is Jesus himself. Yet Paul says that every knee bows, in the celestial, terrestrial, and the subterranean. Paul also said that every tongue will agree Yahweh Jesus Christ. This is why Jesus’ name is powerful, it is not the name by itself, it is the one who represents the name, the superhuman potentate, our Creator. This is why Satanas tried to erase Jesus from history, and from Judaism. The Pharisaical mission after Jesus died was to find a different man to be Messiah. The Masoretic mission was to erase the prophecies that Jesus fulfilled which were unique to Jesus, such as being born of a virgin, or healing eyes born blind. They intentionally changed those things, as well as dates and times to confuse their own people because by 300 CE the rest of the world wasn’t listening to the Jews anymore.
The complexities that surround the attempt to erase Jesus as Messiah are far reaching as we have seen over the past few weeks. We have compared texts and we have noticed several things awry. Changes and alterations were made to the Masoretic text to ensure that Jesus would not be recognized as Lord and Messiah. These alterations started in the first century and spanned nearly 1000 years. Once the Masoretic text was complete, Jews had a text that read differently than the Septuagint. The Septuagint being older and scribed under the authority of the High Priest and the Sanhedrin prophesied a coming Messiah, but when that Messiah actually came he was rejected. Therefore to alter text and to alter meanings and usages of words would be the way to dismiss the one who came as Messiah. We have studied the word Elohim. Yahweh is Elohim, the devil is elohim, angels are elohim, and humans are elohim. Yet the Jews believe Jesus Christ was not Elohim. That means Jesus is the only one who is not Elohim. All anyone needed to do was a simple word study to make sense of the word Elohim, yet somehow we let people lie and confuse us. Also the usage of “im” in a Hebrew word denotes plurality. There is a singular, a duel, and a plural in Hebrew, and plural signifies three or more. Yet the Masorete’s claim that in the word Elohim, the “im” doesn’t count. In every other word in the Hebrew language “im” is plural, except in Elohim. This is the way the Masorete’s deny the Godhead as being Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And yes the word “trinity” is actually in the Bible, it is in the Aramaic. This alteration of the word Elohim also is an attempt to set the Jews apart from other religions, claiming Christianity to be pagan. So with these two examples alone we start to see a planned pattern emerging.
The Masorete’s also changed the word Yahweh to Adonai over 134 times in the text. E.W. Bullinger notes these discrepancies in appendices 32 and 33 of the Companion Bible. There are two typographical errors in the list and a more accurate listing can be found online, but he still did pretty good work in the 1800’s. Once the usages or meanings of Elohim and Yahweh is distorted, a different message starts to emerge. The new message seems to be that “God” is doing both good and bad things to humankind; that “God” is harsh, and He is too mysterious to figure out. And while Jesus was not erased from history, the new message that emerges from these changes is that Jesus is a questionable individual who was simply born a man, but somehow “became” a savior to the pagans. That idea leads to the distortion of dispensations, where the Jews have tried to erase the idea that a new system of grace and salvation came about after Jesus died. Oddly enough, without the temple from about 70 AD through to today, something obviously changed and without Jesus it changed to the detriment of the Jews. But truly the story is very different. The intentional changes to the text inadvertently changed the truth about the very Elohim the Jews attempt to worship. While people might have thought that these changes would be helpful to their cause, it poisoned the entire world when the Latin text was copied and translated from the Masoretic text.
While it is not my intent to disparage Jews, it is my intent to point out the alterations made so that we have a better understanding of the Bible and what the Holy Spirit wanted communicated to humanity. The Masorete’s have hidden in the shadows accusing the Romans of textual misconduct, and while the Romans merged paganism into Christianity and burned many texts (primarily gnostic writings), the Romans didn’t tamper with the written words, the Masorete’s did. Both parties used social engineering to enhance their cause and both parties were wrong for doing so. The Romans kept Jesus as Lord and God and the Jews dismissed Jesus as Lord and God. We cannot change history but we can use technology to our advantage to uncover alterations that seem to discredit the Bible. The Jewish alterations started in the first century and continued through the Masoretic time period; that amounts to one thousand years of changes before the Masoretic text was finished. The Masorete’s have been responsible for sending their own people into confusion and dismay, ultimately hindering them from their Messiah. Today, supporters of that religion attempt to turn Christians away from Jesus with a confusing gospel that only they can explain, and because the churches are weak in teaching advanced Bible study, people fall away from Jesus.

No matter what humans do to erase Jesus there is still power and authority in his name. John was rather young when he followed Jesus as a disciple. John tells Jesus something interesting. There were people that the disciples didn’t know using Jesus’ name.
Mark 9:38 G611 [3responded G1161 1And G1473 4to him G3588 G* 2John], G3004 saying, G1320 Teacher, G1492 we beheld G5100 a certain one G3588 G3686 in your name G1473 G1544 casting out G1140 demons, G3739 who G3756 does not G190 follow G1473 us; G2532 and G2967 we restrained G1473 him, G3754 for G3756 he does not G190 follow G1473 us.
Someone was casting out demons who did not hang out with the disciples. John and whoever was with him told this person not to use Jesus’ name. Jesus said do not prevent him casting out demons.
Mark 9:39 G3588 And G1161 G* Jesus G2036 said, G3361 Do not G2967 restrain G1473 him! G3762 [3no one G1063 1For G1510.2.3 2there is] G3739 who G4160 shall do G1411 a work of power G1909 in G3588 G3686 my name, G1473 G2532 and G1410 be able to G5036 quickly G2551 speak evil of G1473 me.
40 G3739 For he who G1063 G3756 is not G1510.2.3 G2596 against G1473 us, G5228 [2for G1473 3us G1510.2.3 1is].
People who manufacture dunamis miracle power on the name of Jesus will not be capable of quickly reviling (bad logos) Jesus. If someone is casting out demons by using Jesus’ name, Jesus believes that one is for them, not against them. Why? The benefit of expelling demons is so that people will be in their right mind. Then bringing people into a personal relationship with Jesus is easy.
Using the name of Jesus is a tool for disciples in setting people free. Jesus is the living logos of the Elohim, his name is light and life. Jesus’ name is not a magic word but it is the superhuman potentate miracle power on the earth and we are his representatives. Demons testified as to who Jesus is, and they were scared of Him for good reason, they know they will be sentenced to the abyss in the future. Every knee bows and every tongue agrees Yahweh Jesus Christ.
