Awakening the Remnant - Episode 7(1) “If the Letter J Didn’t Exist... Who Were They Really Baptized In?”

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

Shalom, family. This is The Remnant Awakens, and I’m your brother, Pierre. Today’s episode—it’s not just any episode—it’s kinda like, well, a wake-up call, you know? Because today, we’re digging deep into something that’s, honestly, gonna shake the foundation of everything you thought you knew.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

So, think about this for a second: Every baptism class you’ve ever heard of, every church sermon about doing things "in the name," every moment somebody said, "Just believe in Jesus," right? All of that hinges on one simple question. And I mean, look, it’s not a complicated question, but it’s one that almost nobody asks. And here it is—here it is: If the letter J didn’t exist 2,000 years ago... then in what name were they being baptized in the Book of Acts?

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

Because here’s the thing—it’s not just about words or semantics. Nah, nah, it’s about keys, keys to understanding. The name is the key. Everything hinges on it. Everything. So, let’s dive into it.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

Alright, let’s break this wide open. This whole thing about the name—it all ties back to one surprising fact. The letter “J,” the very one we use in “Jesus,” “Jehovah,” “James”? It’s, like, the youngest letter in the English alphabet. Youngest. It didn’t even exist in biblical times. Let that sink in for a second.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

So, history tells us that this letter “J” was first created... okay, get this... in the year 1524. Yeah, the sixteenth century. An Italian grammarian—a guy named Gian Giorgio Trissino—he’s the dude who decided to give us this letter. Before that? It just wasn’t there. Period. That means no “Jesus,” no “Jehovah,” not even “James” as we know them today.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

Now, here’s where it gets even more interesting. If we rewind back to the 1611 King James Bible—look, go pull it up if you’re curious—you won’t find “Jesus” in there. Nope. It literally says “Iesus.” And names like John? Spelled “Iohn.” And James? It was written “Iames.” So you’ve gotta ask yourself: how could anyone have been baptized in a name that didn’t even exist yet?

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

I mean, imagine this. You're standing there, you're hearing the apostles preach. They’re saying, “Repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins.” But they didn’t say “Jesus.” They couldn’t have, you know? That name hadn’t even been created. So the question is, and it’s a big one, y’all: who did they call on? What was the name that carried authority, power, salvation?

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

Now, let’s look at Acts 2:38 real quick. It says—this is the King James Version—“Then Kepha, or Peter, said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ…” But—wait, wait—hold on. Stop. Pause. That name? “Jesus”? Couldn’t have happened. Why? Because, again, “J” didn’t exist back then.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

So let’s think about it for a minute. Peter wasn’t using that name—it wasn’t possible. His original words would’ve been in Hebrew, and what he said was, “Be immersed in the Name of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach for the forgiveness of sins.” Yahusha. That’s the Name.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

And here’s the powerful part. Yahusha isn’t just a name; it’s a declaration. It literally means “Yahuah is salvation.” I mean, it’s all there in Matthew 1:21, right? “You shall call His name Yahusha, for He shall save His people from their sins.” It’s not random. It’s precise. It’s prophetic. It’s salvation.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

So, like, every time someone was baptized, they weren’t just getting wet or checking some religious box. Nah, it was a proclamation of who they believed in, whose authority they were submitting to. Y’all getting this? Yahusha wasn’t just a label—it was the identity, the key to the whole Plan.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

So, let’s really step into Acts 2 for a second, okay? Because this right here is where so many people get it twisted. Acts 2:5—it says, “And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Yahudiym, devout men out of every nation under heaven.” Did y’all catch that? Every nation under heaven.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

Now, here’s the thing—these weren’t Europeans, okay? Let’s just put that out there. They weren’t Romans, they weren’t white. These were Hebrews. These were the scattered tribes of Yashar’el, the descendants of Ya’aqov who had been dispersed across the nations because of exile. And now? Now they were coming back to Jerusalem for the feast of Shavu’ot, just like the Torah commands.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

You see, in Torah, it’s clear: the men of Yashar’el were commanded to gather in Jerusalem three times a year for the appointed feasts—Unleavened Bread, Shavu’ot, and Sukkot. That’s Deuteronomy 16:16 for y’all taking notes. So these people weren’t there by coincidence. Nah, this wasn’t some random international crowd. This was prophecy. This was obedience.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

And the beautiful part? They were scattered because of judgment, right? But even in their exile, even after centuries of being in foreign lands, they didn’t forget. They didn’t lose the essence of who they were. These Yahudiym came from every corner of the earth—Africa, Asia, the Middle East, wherever their ancestors had been scattered—and they came back. Came back to honor Yahuah, to keep the covenant. That’s identity. That’s purpose.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

And think about it—think about the timing of this. It’s Shavu’ot. The Ruach—the Spirit—is about to descend in power. And who’s there to witness this? The very people who had been waiting for the promises of Yahuah to be fulfilled. They weren’t just spectators. They were the remnant awakening, recognizing that everything—the Torah, the prophets, the promises of redemption—it was all coming into alignment right there in Jerusalem.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

Alright, family, let’s just go straight to the Word. Acts 2:38—this is where Kepha, or Peter, stands up and says, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach for the remission of sins.” Did y’all catch that? He didn’t say a title. He didn’t say “Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.” Nah. He said Yahusha. One name. One authority.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

And it doesn’t stop there. Acts 8:16? “They had only been baptized in the name of the Master Yahusha.” Or how about Acts 10:48? That’s when Kepha again “commanded them to be baptized in the name of Yahusha.” And one more—Acts 19:5—it’s clear as day: “They were baptized in the name of the Master Yahusha.” You see the pattern? Every single time—it’s Yahusha. Every time.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

Nowhere do you see them using multiple titles or some vague reference. They called on the Name. Yahusha. Why? Because it’s the Name above every name. Philippians 2:9, right? “Yahuah also has highly exalted Him and given Him the Name which is above every name.” So if it's that one Name, if that's the Name with power and salvation, why would the apostles baptize in anything else?

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

Now let’s think about this practically. These apostles, these early believers—they weren’t just out here creating rituals. They were living covenant people. They understood the weight, the authority, the spiritual reality behind that Name. When they said “Yahusha,” they were declaring Him as Mashiach, the Anointed, the fulfillment of every prophecy. This wasn’t symbolic—it was the real deal, you know?

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

And here’s the thing: Satan has never wanted us to know that Name, y’all. Because once you know it, once you really know it, you know who you belong to. You’ve got power, you’ve got identity, you’ve got authority. And that’s why it’s Yahusha. Always has been, always will be.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

So, family, here’s the thing—baptism, it’s not just some empty ritual, you know? It’s not just about getting dipped in water and walking away like nothing’s changed. No no, it’s deeper. Baptism is a seal. It’s a covenant. And, like, you’ve gotta ask yourself—what happens if that covenant’s based on a lie?

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

Now let me say this plain. If you got baptized in a name that’s tied to a false image, then... I mean, family, are you really in covenant? Are you really aligning yourself with the true Messiah? Because Satan’s been working hard—real hard—to keep the world worshiping a Greek image. That’s what this is about. It’s a counterfeit, a distraction, pulling us away from the truth.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

But here’s the good news, family. The remnant—it’s waking up. We’re waking up to who we are, to whose we are. We’re realizing that there’s power in the Name. And when you know—when you finally know—that the true Name is Yahusha, everything changes. Everything. You begin to see this world for what it is, a system that’s been designed to keep us asleep. But you? You’re part of the remnant. You’re here, you’ve been called, and now, it’s on you to walk in the truth, no matter how uncomfortable or challenging it gets.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

Family, if you were baptized in the name of “Jesus Christ,” or using the phrase “Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,” I need you to hear this:That wasn’t the true baptism.The name “Jesus” didn’t exist before the 1600s.The phrase they used isn’t even a baptism—it’s a Roman formula.But the name that saves—the name that holds power—is Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, the true Son of Yahuah.Acts 4:12 says there is no other nameunder heaven by which we must be saved.So what do you do now?You don’t need a pastor. You don’t need a certificate.You just need truth, water, and faith.Yes—you can re-baptize yourself.Confess the truth.Repent for the lies you followed.Renounce Christianity’s false gospel.Believe in Yahusha.And go into the water saying: “I baptize myself in the name of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach for the remission of sins, and to walk in truth." If you’ve already been baptized in His Name—stand firm. Revelation 18:4– “Come out of her, My people…”. This is your moment. Come out. Be cleansed. Walk the narrow path.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

So next time someone says, “I was baptized in Jesus' name”... well, you’ve gotta ask yourself—what does that really mean? See, the name “Jesus” is a translation, right? A version that didn’t even exist when the Messiah walked this earth. So if we’re saying “in the Name,” but we’re using something, you know, that’s been, like, made up later… Are we walking in truth?

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

Because the apostles—they knew the Name. They understood its power, its authority. It was Yahusha. That’s who they pointed to. That’s who they declared. And when Kepha told everyone to repent and be baptized, he wasn’t throwing out titles or some vague idea—he was calling people into covenant with the Most High, through the Anointed, Yahusha Ha’Mashiach.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

And here’s the thing, family. This isn’t just about proving history or dissecting language—it’s about what you’re aligning yourself with. You get baptized in a Name because it represents the One you follow, the One who claims you, the One who saves you. And if it isn’t the true Name? Well, we’ve gotta wrestle with that. We’ve gotta search our hearts and ask, “Whose Name am I really under?” You feel me?

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

Look, this ain’t easy. It’s not easy accepting that some of the things you grew up believing might not line up with the Word. It’s uncomfortable. It’s challenging. But, family, that’s the beauty of awakening. When you start to see it—when the Ruach opens your eyes—the truth sets you free. It’s not about condemnation. It’s about alignment. It’s about coming back to the purity of the Word, to the covenant our ancestors knew.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

So, to everyone listening today, I challenge you—seek Him out. Not the image the world’s been selling, but the true Mashiach, Yahusha. Look into it. Study it. Pray on it. Because when you do, when you really grasp it, you’ll see just how powerful His Name truly is. It’s identity. It’s salvation. It’s the awakening of the remnant.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

And, honestly, family, that’s all for today’s episode. Thank you for walking with me. You are the remnant awakening, and together we’re walking back to who we truly are, one truth at a time.
