Shlama Akhi Albion,
Nothing I have written above has anything to do with Baptist theology, unless you think Baptists are Universalists; there are very few of those, I think.
I did have access to The Eastern Peshitta; I have had a copy for years which is falling apart at the binding. I bought it about 7 years ago.
"Jehovah" is a "ghost word"? Every printed Hebrew Bible I have ever seen has the YHWH Name pronounced "Yehovah" according to the vowel pointing given. That's where "Jehovah" comes from. The "J" is a common transliteration of the Yodh in the beginning of a name: Yehuda=Jehuda; Yaqob=Jaqob; Yoseph=Joseph, etc.
Blessings,
Dave
