1. In Hebrew, it is a "Y" sound.
Once upon a time, the letter "J" was pronounced like a "Y" is today.
That is why the English Bibles and Gospels stuck in many J's as in Judea, Jerusalem, Elijah, and Jesus.
In Hebrew these are: Yehuda, Yerushalyim, Elyihahu, and Yeshua.
The English pronounciation of the letter J changed but the spellings did not. So, English speakers began mis-pronouncing all of these Biblical words and names.
2. The messianic prophecy is that when the messiah comes, all Jews, even the lost tribes, will return to Israel and live in peace (as will the rest of the world as no one will make war any more in the world).
So, clearly, the messiah has not come yet.
But, it does not say that one cannot have the state of Israel until the messiah comes.
There is no J in Hebrew nor is there a J sound in Hebrew so how could there ever be a people called jews or a? - Yahoo Answers

"The form Jehovah is of late medieval origin; it is a combination of the consonants of the Divine Name and the vowels attached to it by the Masoretes but belonging to an entirely different word. The sound of Y is represented by J and the sound of W by V, as in Latin. The word "Jehovah" does not accurately represent any form of the Name ever used in Hebrew." Revised Standard Version pp.6-7
"Yahweh-the personal name of the God of the Israelites . . . The Masoretes, Jewish biblical scholars of the Middle Ages, replaced the vowel signs that had appeared above or beneath the consonants of YHWH with the vowel signs of Adonai or of Elohim. Thus, the artificial name Jehovah (YeHoWaH) came into being. Although Christian scholars after the Rendssance and Reformation periods used the term Jehovah for YHWH, in the 19th and 20th centuries biblical scholars again began to use the form Yahweh. Early Christian writers, Such as Clement of Alexandria in the 2nd century, had used the form Yahweh, thus this pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton was never really lost. Greek transcriptions also indicated that Yhwh Should be pronounced Yahweh."Encyclopedia Britannica (Micropedia, vol. 10)
Is God's Name Jehovah of Yahweh
Is God's Name Jehovah of Yahweh
Jehovah is the English form of God's name, not the Hebrew. The original Hebrew name Jehovah was spelled YHWH. All consonants and no vowels....Nobody knows the correct pronunciation of other Hebrew names like Jesus or in Hebrew Yesh'ua. Likewise, it is proper to use God's name, which is revealed in the Bible, whether we pronounce it "Yahweh," or "Jehovah" What is important is to use that name and what is wrong is to fail to use God's personal in whatever common language or tongue we are born with.
My Hebrew professor at the university I went to said a 15th century monk made up 'Jehovah.' If you know a little Hebrew, you can see the vowel pointings don't match up to come up with that word, even with pointings for Adonai under the letters for the Tetragrammaton.
During the captivity, the Jews apparently accepted a Persian custom of not saying their god's names and applied it to the Lord. So instead of calling God His name, Yahweh, they put vowel pointings for Adonai underneath the name. They'd say Adonai (Lord) instead of the divine name. Some manuscripts even use the archaic writing just for the Lord's name and the Phoenecian alphabet Hebrew is now written in for the rest of the text so people wouldn't say it.
The Italian monk made a word out of these vowel points for Adonai and the letters for Yahweh. Somehow, we got a hard J sound, as happened to many names that started with a I (Y) sound in English. V stands for W in a lot of European languages, and is even used in northern European pronunciations of Hebrew. So we ended up with a J and V in Jehovah, even though the name of our God is most likely pronounced Yahweh.
Nobody knows? the descendants of the people who used to speak this language are currently speaking it, it's not a dead language. There's no mystery. The modern descendants are saying Yahweh the same way their ancestors did. they all gather together in religious services as they have for many centuries, and say God's name together, so there's simply no chance of the pronunciation being forgotten or changing. Yah rhymes with a cat's p.AW and weh rhymes with a manger lined with h.AY
Exodus 6:3, proves that 15th century monk lied about making up Jehovah's name. Jehovah gave Himself that name centuries before this so-called 15th century monk was ever born. I don't put much stock in secular college professors because of what 1st Corinthians 1:19 says concerning them and their so-called authoritative information concerning anything that deals with God's Word and especially when it comes to God's name, Jehovah.
Facts are facts no matter who shares them.
How is a verse where God says that His name is Yahweh supposed to support your theory?
You do know, don't you, that God said those words in Hebrew before 1611. KJV-Onlyism is not part of the 'faith once delivered to the saints.' Jesus and the apostles did not teach it. Paul didn't use the KJV. He said to follow him as he followed Christ.

it's much easier for me to just call Him Father, if i'm talking to some one about Him, i call Him God, or our Father, or the Father. i have been thinking a lot about the name Jesus lately, that is the only name i knew Him by. Now i've seen so many different names, and i'm afraid of calling our Lord something, that i shouldn't be. When i talk to our Lord i call Him, Lord, when i'm talking to some one about our Lord i call Him Jesus, but have been kind of confused lately on it. Maybe i'll start calling our Lord Emanuel(God with us), or our Salvation, our Redeemer, our everything Good.
If a person was to walked up to God, saying, "Hey Buddy," God isn't going to turn toward that person and say," Don't call me Buddy, I have a name". All in the scriptures, they have given Him all sort of names, but they all were referring to goodness. The biblical scholars has given the devil a name, because the original name was referring to the "dark", and which they believe that dark can't be a being, but a description.
In mainstream Christianity, the Devil is a fallen angel who rebelled against God. The Devil is often identified as the serpent in the Garden of Eden, whose persuasions led to the two corresponding Christian doctrines: the Original Sin and its cure, the Redemption of Jesus Christ. He is also identified as the accuser of Job, the tempter of the Gospels, Leviathan and the dragon in the Book of Revelation.
In Christianity the title Satan (Hebrew: הַשָּׂטָן ha-Satan), "the opposer", a title of various entities, both human and divine, who challenge the faith of humans in the Jewish Bible, became the name of the personification of evil. Christian tradition and theology changed "Satan" from an accuser appointed by God to test men's faith to God's godlike fallen opponent: "the Devil", "Shaitan" in Arabic (the term used by Arab Christians and Muslims).Traditionally, Christians have understood the Devil to be the author of lies and promoter of evil. However, the Devil can go no further than the word of Christ the Logos allows, resulting in the problem of evil.
Liberal Christianity often views the devil metaphorically. This is true of some Conservative Christian groups too, such as the Christadelphians and the Church of the Blessed Hope. Much of the popular lore of the Devil is not biblical; instead, it is a post-medieval Christian reading of the scriptures influenced by medieval and pre-medieval Christian popular mythology.

If the facts aren't accurate and the facts don't "add" up, make sense, are logic or are based on the Bible; then the so-called 'facts' are useless to a true Christian or lover of God. Evidently it seems you have overlooked John the 17th chapter. There Jesus is praying to his heavenly Father concerning his followers or disciples. Verse 6 of John chapter 17 proves that Jesus made his heavenly Father's name known or manifest to the disciple. That divine name is Jehovah. It stands to reason that if Jesus taught his followers to use and to sanctify God's, then all the apostles, including the apostle Paul, fell in line and did the same (Matthew 6:9)........One side note and passing thought: Note the words in John 17:6---"I have made YOUR name manifest or known to the men whom YOU gave me out of the world". Matthew 6:9---" You must pray this way: Our Father in the heavens, let YOUR name be sanctified." QUESTION:If Jesus and Jehovah are/were part of some three-headed godship, why did Jesus tell his followers to make known his heavenly Father's name to others? Why didn't Jesus say the words: "make known my and YOUR name"? Jesus mentioned nothing about making known his own name. Also, why did Jesus direct his disciples to pray to his heavenly Jehovah instead of both of them? If Jesus and Jehovah were equal or part of a three headed godship, would not he have directed his disciples to pray to him (Jesus), as well?

And since you're so fond of the KJV:
[SUP]13 [/SUP]And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
[SUP]14 [/SUP]And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,
the LORD GOD of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you:
THIS is my name for ever,
and this is my memorial unto all generations.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:

Exodus 3:13-16 (KJV)
In the book of Jonah, Jonah has said that, "Salvation is the Lord", but he did not had said, "salvation is of the Lord". The Bible was reproof to fit our understanding, but not of spiritual understanding. God's name is everything that leads to goodness, and which all things leads to Him and that is why He said that," I Am", because He is all things, and which there is none before Him, or after. All things comes from Him, and Him alone.
Isaiah 40:26Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
Isaiah 45:7I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things.
Isaiah 45:18For this is what the Lord says— he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited— he says: “I am the Lord, and there is no other.
