Back when I began working in network security, before pizzagate. I used to see the "food code" that was used and had no idea what I was reading. Homeland security would show up, and I was in the dark about it. They literally hide in the plain sight of darkness. It's sort of like the servant in the bible who was fearful and could not see God's army surrounding them. Joshua emplored God, Jehovah for his eyes to be open. And like that, his eyes were open and saw a spiritual army surrounding the current physical army. Once I learned what it all meant, I went back and scoured everything. Connected the dots, connected the pieces.
*
Let's start with Moloch. Moloch = Molech. Which literally means King. The "CH" means Disgusting. So he is the Disgusting King. The God of Child Sacrifice. Satan the Devil hates humans so much killing the ones closest to perfection in sacrifice to him is the ultimate sin. Satan is not his real name. It's an insult to him, meaning resistor, slanderer, liar, father of the lie. Molech is another one.
The moment I saw Molech being used as many times as it was in reference told me all of this was true. People don't joke or throw around the name Molech so loosely. The average person doesn't even know who or what Molech/Moloch is. It's not common knowledge. I'm still trying to figure out why he was reinvented as a giant owl.
The part of the article that talks about the Seed; I get the reference they were going for. It's a very good thought. I will say it's a bit misinterpreted. Unless I'm reading it wrong. The Seed being discussed in the bible in that verse in Genesis is not speaking about children. The Seed is Jesus Christ. I'm not saying this article was wrong, I'm just saying we can address that portion a little more clearly:
*
At the time of pronouncing judgment upon the first rebels, Jehovah God spoke a prophecy, couched in symbolic phrase, setting forth his purpose to use an agency, a “seed,” to effect the ultimate crushing of the rebel forces. (Ge 3:15) Thus, Jehovah’s rulership, the expression of his sovereignty, would take on a new aspect or expression in answer to the insurrection that had developed. The progressive revelation of “the sacred secrets of the kingdom” (Mt 13:11) showed that this new aspect would involve the formation of a subsidiary government, a ruling body headed by a deputy ruler. The realization of the promise of the “seed” is in the kingdom of Christ Jesus in union with his chosen associates. (Re 17:14; see JESUS CHRIST [His Vital Place in God’s Purpose].) From the time of the Edenic promise forward, the progressive development of God’s purpose to produce this Kingdom “seed” becomes a basic theme of the Bible and a key to understanding Jehovah’s actions toward his servants and toward mankind in general.
*
God’s delegating vast authority and power to creatures (Mt 28:18; Re 2:26, 27; 3:21) in this way is noteworthy inasmuch as the question of the integrity of all God’s creatures, that is, their wholehearted devotion to him and their loyalty to his headship, formed a vital part of the issue raised by God’s Adversary. (See INTEGRITY [Involved in the supreme issue].) That God could confidently entrust any of his creatures with such remarkable authority and power would in itself be a splendid testimony to the moral strength of his rule, contributing to the vindication of Jehovah’s sovereignty and exposing the falsity of his adversary’s allegations.
*
Everyone reading this needs to hear this portion that Christendom will never teach you because they removed the name of God. The biggest conspiracy known to mankind. If you do not know the name of the one who created all of us, the one the bible says we can draw close to, then we have been covered in spiritual darkness. I am going to reply to this post about the name of God. Remember that Abraham was called God's friend. The Prophet Daniel was called God's friend and also was told to be very precious to precious to God. If we do not know the name of someone who is supposed to be our best friend and greatest ally, then we cannot properly speak to that person. There are many God's as we have discussed. The bible actually calls Satan the Devil "...the God of this system (this world)." We need to address our ally. In fact, the bible goes on to say that "Everyone who calls on the name of, Jehovah will be saved."
(Je·hoʹvah) [the causative form, the imperfect state, of the Heb. verb ha·wahʹ (become); meaning “He Causes to Become”].
The personal name of God. (Isa 42:8; 54:5) Though Scripturally designated by such descriptive titles as “God,” “Sovereign Lord,” “Creator,” “Father,” “the Almighty,” and “the Most High,” his personality and attributes—who and what he is—are fully summed up and expressed only in this personal name.—Ps 83:18.
Correct Pronunciation of the Divine Name. “Jehovah” is the best known English pronunciation of the divine name, although “Yahweh” is favored by most Hebrew scholars. The oldest Hebrew manuscripts present the name in the form of four consonants, commonly called the Tetragrammaton (from Greek te·tra-, meaning “four,” and gramʹma, “letter”). These four letters (written from right to left) are יהוה and may be transliterated into English as YHWH (or, JHVH).
The Hebrew consonants of the name are therefore known. The question is, Which vowels are to be combined with those consonants? Vowel points did not come into use in Hebrew until the second half of the first millennium C.E. (See HEBREW, II [Hebrew Alphabet and Script].) Furthermore, because of a religious superstition that had begun centuries earlier, the vowel pointing found in Hebrew manuscripts does not provide the key for determining which vowels should appear in the divine name.
Superstition hides the name. At some point a superstitious idea arose among the Jews that it was wrong even to pronounce the divine name (represented by the Tetragrammaton). Just what basis was originally assigned for discontinuing the use of the name is not definitely known. Some hold that the name was viewed as being too sacred for imperfect lips to speak. Yet the Hebrew Scriptures themselves give no evidence that any of God’s true servants ever felt any hesitancy about pronouncing his name. Non-Biblical Hebrew documents, such as the so-called Lachish Letters, show the name was used in regular correspondence in Palestine during the latter part of the seventh century B.C.E.
Another view is that the intent was to keep non-Jewish peoples from knowing the name and possibly misusing it. However, Jehovah himself said that he would ‘have his name declared in all the earth’ (Ex 9:16; compare 1Ch 16:23, 24; Ps 113:3; Mal 1:11, 14), to be known even by his adversaries. (Isa 64:2) The name was in fact known and used by pagan nations both in pre-Common Era times and in the early centuries of the Common Era. (The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1976, Vol. XII, p. 119) Another claim is that the purpose was to protect the name from use in magical rites. If so, this was poor reasoning, as it is obvious that the more mysterious the name became through disuse the more it would suit the purposes of practicers of magic.
When did the superstition take hold? Just as the reason or reasons originally advanced for discontinuing the use of the divine name are uncertain, so, too, there is much uncertainty as to when this superstitious view really took hold. Some claim that it began following the Babylonian exile (607-537 B.C.E.). This theory, however, is based on a supposed reduction in the use of the name by the later writers of the Hebrew Scriptures, a view that does not hold up under examination. Malachi, for example, was evidently one of the last books of the Hebrew Scriptures written (in the latter half of the fifth century B.C.E.), and it gives great prominence to the divine name.
Many reference works have suggested that the name ceased to be used by about 300 B.C.E. Evidence for this date supposedly was found in the absence of the Tetragrammaton (or a transliteration of it) in the Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, begun about 280 B.C.E. It is true that the most complete manuscript copies of the Septuagint now known do consistently follow the practice of substituting the Greek words Kyʹri·os (Lord) or The·osʹ (God) for the Tetragrammaton. But these major manuscripts date back only as far as the fourth and fifth centuries C.E. More ancient copies, though in fragmentary form, have been discovered that prove that the earliest copies of the Septuagint did contain the divine name.
One of these is the fragmentary remains of a papyrus roll of a portion of Deuteronomy, listed as P. Fouad Inventory No. 266. (PICTURE, Vol. 1, p. 326) It regularly presents the Tetragrammaton, written in square Hebrew characters, in each case of its appearance in the Hebrew text being translated. This papyrus is dated by scholars as being from the first century B.C.E., and thus it was written four or five centuries earlier than the manuscripts mentioned previously.—See NW appendix, pp. 1562-1564.
While it's true that vowel points are a relatively recent innovation for written Hebrew, there's still vocalization between letters which approximates vowels. For example for @LYHW there is vocalization of HW, which is consistent with YHWDH, but not with your pronunciation of YHWH as Yahweh.
That's not the issue. Your using a rubric of phonetics and etymology to suggest that the name should not be used at all. I wonder if it is better to try to use it with respect than to forget it altogether. My wife calls me "punkin". If she erased my name from important documents and wrote 'punkin' everywhere, even though she loves me, I would still be quite annoyed.

JEHOVAH

Same as for YHWDH (of course without the D)
And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise YHWH: therefore she called his name YHWDH; and left bearing. (Genesis 29:35)

If you were Hebrew you would say Yahweh (Yah-way). But since we are not Hebrew, in English they say Jehovah.
Random101 ago
Neither of those forms are consistent with the pronunciation of related Hebrew words. Confusion of language is the hallmark of Babylon.

The Hebrew language doesn't use vowels. So yes, it is consistent.

No, consistency in interpretation is has a solid foundation.
