"According to this theory, the magical name of Jesus was composed of the same four Hebrew letters as Tetragrammaton, but with one letter added in the middle, the Hebrew shin (), which stands for the element fire, or for the cardinal quality. The Fivefold Name, IHShVH (), which can be rendered into English as "Yeheshuah," was held by the Christian kabbalists of the Renaissance to have deprived Tetragrammaton of all its power, even as Jesus Christ had supplanted the jealous God of the Hebrews and the Gospels had displaced the Old Testament. ... Although the Christian Kabbalists of the Renaissance were quite sincere in their belief that the name IHShVH had displaced and rendered ineffective the name IHVH, we need not give their opinions too much credit. Tetragrammaton can never be displaced by another name, since it embodies in its very structure the order and plan of the universe. The Fivefold Name supplements Tetragrammaton, but it does not supplant it."
