Matthew 1:21 She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
We call Him Jesus in English.
Ἰησοῦς or Iésous is the Greek form of the Hebrew Yehoshua. The name means “Yahweh is salvation” or “Yahweh saves.”
Yehoshua is a combination of YHWH, which is the proper name of God and yasha` which is a Hebrew verb.
The term for LORD is Yahweh, The Existing One. This is the definitive name for God. This is the proper name of the Hebrew God of the Bible. Jehovah is a word that has been translated to English from the Hebrew, Yahweh. The correct spelling is YHWH. Scholars refer to this as the Tetragrammaton, Greek for four letters.
This name is so sacred, Jews refuse to pronounce it. The first mention of the name is in Exodus between God and Moses.
Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’
Yasha` means to save, deliver from moral troubles; to give victory to. This is the verb form.
The noun form of yasha` is Yeshua. It means: He saves. The Hebrew name for Jesus is Yeshua.
Yeshua Himself connects the dots in the Book of John. Yeshua or “He saves” makes seven statements in the Book of John explaining “I am…”
I am the bread of life (John 6:35).
I am the light of the world (John 8:12).
I am the gate (John 10:9).
I am the good shepherd (John 10:11).
I am the resurrection and the life (John 11:25).
I am the way and the truth and the life (John 14:6).
I am the vine (John 15:5).
Yeshua is Yahweh, The Existing One. He saves. He will have military conquest.
John 8:58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I AM.”
Jesus Christ is the victorious warrior. He will dwell or tabernacle with the nation we know as Israel. He too will shout for joy with the introduction of His Kingdom. Yeshua will celebrate. Good times are coming.
Here is a mental exercise for all. Every time you see “Jesus/Yeshua/Yehoshua/Ἰησοῦς” substitute the meaning of His name…
HE SAVES…
