Did the ancient Egyptians worship a God named Yah long before God revealed his name to Moses?
score:4
The answer is 'No'.
In the beginning God (Elohim) made the heavens and the earth. [Genesis 1:1]
And :
... the LORD God (Jehovah Elohim) made the earth and the heavens. [Genesis 2:4] [KJV]
God made the moon, ergo he is before it was made and before it was even seen by humanity and before mankind could, insanely, idolise the thing.
He revealed himself to Moses and told Moses :
I am that I am [Exodus 3:14, KJV]
His name, Jehovah, reflects his own, independent and eternal existence.
By the way, the blogger makes a great deal out of what he calls a 'miscalculation'in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus. It is his own miscalculation (and he could have corrected his fault by diligently taking note of the matter as recorded on Stack Exchange : Biblical Hermeneutics, available globally to all English speakers, and, by the facilities available on Google, to all languages worlwide) the fact being that Jechoniah is mentioned twice but is two different people, father and son, not one person.
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: [Matthew 1:11, KJV]
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; [Matthew 1:12, KJV]
Seriously ? Merit ?
I will leave it to you, to judge for yourself.
