In Loving Memory of Ema Judy “Judah” Johnson
Bere’shiyth “Beginning” to Chazon “Revelation”
Judy Johnson was born on March 3, 1948, in White Plains, New York.
In her youth, a relative posed a defining question that would awaken her ruach (spirit): “Do you know who you are?” Her simple reply, “Judy Johnson,” held the innocence of the moment, yet the question planted a seed that would blossom decades later. That seed came into bloom as her spiritual awakening began in 2015. This new path led her to be baptized in 2017 and again in 2018 as her understanding deepened.
A profound milestone on this journey occurred that year when she learned the sacred names of the Most High, YAHUAH, and His only begotten son, Yahusha. With this truth, she discovered her heritage as a descendant of the children of Israel, which anchored her faith and allowed her to finally view the scriptures through their proper prophetic lens.
While this revelation grounded her, the harvest of her walk occurred in June 2023 during the biblical feast of Shavuot (Pentecost) in Detroit, Michigan. Her immersion in the living waters was the bridge to the holy of holies, a medium for transformation, and ultimately deepened her intimate relationship with her Abba, YAHUAH.
A woman of deep faith, Ema Judy spent countless hours in her prayer closet, and her life beautifully exemplified all of the fruits of the ruach (spirit). Her life was defined by praise, worship, prayer, encouragement, and love. She was a dedicated member of the Prayer Ministry and Missions Team at her Worship Hub.
Ema’s gifts flowed into her creativity, as she enjoyed cloudscape photography, making herbal teas, and designing custom earrings.
With purpose, Ema Judy lived her remaining days as a shining light, dedicated to courageously sharing the beautiful truth she had so joyfully received.
