Hi! My writing name is W.R. Selvig, and I’m the author of The Yahweh Deception and the founder of this website, Abba Unveiled. I also go by Wendy.

When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He began with a single, radical word: Abba.

In Greek, the accepted word used for YHWH was “kurios”. This is the word used in the Septuagint and the word Jesus would have known to use to connect with Yahweh. Jesus did not use this word. Not ever. He actually avoided using it, which says alot. If He had come to point people to His Father Yahweh, you would think He would say his name at least once. So, it is actually more telling that He did not. But our brain-washing will really struggle with this. Jesus was not pointing to the distant, fearful bene-elohim Yahweh — He was using an intimate, relational, term that meant “Daddy.” And, He said that no one had seen the Father. Nobody. That means Moses. That means Jacob. That means everyone who had seen and heard Yahweh. Jesus said NO-ONE. He also never honored Yahweh with His words, in fact, he often challenged Him. As Christians, we have been taught to gloss right over this and not see it. The god of this world has indeed deceived the whole world and by doing so tarnished the character of the true Father Jesus came to reveal. Are you ready to awaken? Check your heart. Can you handle truth if it makes you uncomfortable? Because that is what this book and blog is going to do. I invite you to come along for the journey.

You may have found this website through my book, The Yahweh Deception. I invite you to browse the blogs and articles here as I continue to grow this space into a resource for those seeking to know who Jesus’s Father truly is.

The Purpose of Abba Unveiled

This website exists to explore that revelation more deeply. Here you’ll find two central threads woven together:

1. The Journey of Intimacy with the Father

At its core, Abba Unveiled is about drawing near to the One Jesus came to reveal. It’s about peeling back layers of fear, distortion, and misunderstanding to discover the Father who heals, restores, and welcomes us into relationship.

You’ll find reflections, spiritual practices, and encouragement for experiencing God not as a distant ruler, but as the ever-present Abba who delights in being known.

This is the Father whose priest was Melchizedek—Jesus’s Father and the reason Jesus came in the line of Melchizedek. The priesthood of Melchizedek is a priesthood of relationship, not ritual; of communion, not condemnation. It points us back to the true Father who has always desired connection rather than control.

2. Theological Exploration: Rethinking Yahweh

Alongside this journey, I’m sharing my research and writing from my book project, The Trouble with Yahweh. This project wrestles with difficult but important questions:

• Is Yahweh truly the Father Jesus revealed?
• How have translations, redactions, and centuries of tradition shaped—or distorted—our understanding of God’s name and character?
• What happens when we measure the actions attributed to Yahweh against the life and teachings of Jesus, the “visible image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15)?

These aren’t just academic questions. They matter because our picture of God shapes the way we live, the way we love, and the way we relate to Him.

Why “Unveiled”?

The word unveiled carries the sense of removing barriers, lifting blinders, and allowing light to flood in. Many of us have inherited a picture of God clouded by fear, law, or retribution. But the New Testament insists that in Christ, the veil is removed, and we see the Father clearly.

This site is a space to seek that clarity together.

What You’ll Find Here

• Blog posts unpacking theological insights, scriptural studies, and fresh perspectives on ancient texts.
• Reflections and practices for cultivating intimacy with the Father in daily life.
• Updates and excerpts from my ongoing book project, inviting you into the process of discovery.
• Conversations and community for those hungry to know the Father as He truly is.

A Personal Invitation

If you’ve ever felt the tension between the God of the Old Testament and the Father Jesus revealed, or if you simply long to go deeper in relationship with Abba, you’re in the right place.

Thank you for beginning this journey with me. My prayer is that as we seek truth together, what is unveiled will not only challenge old assumptions but also awaken greater love, trust, and intimacy with the Father.

Welcome to Abba Unveiled. Let’s explore Him together.
