Did any of you know that the name of the Messiah is given in the Tanakh (Old Testament)? "...and hast spoken unto him, saying: Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: Lo, a man! A Shoot- [is] his name, And from this place he doth shoot up, And he hath built the temple of Jehovah." (Zechariah 6:12, Young's Literal Translation) This prophecy is a double fulfillment, concerning Joshua (Yehoshua) the high priest, but it also refers to the coming Joshua (Yeshua), who we know as Jesus. "Yeshua" is simply a shortened form of "Yehoshua". Both of them mean "Yahweh is salvation". This name is really significant when referring to Jesus. The angel of Yahweh spoke and said in Matthew 1:21, New English Translation), "She will give birth to a son and you will name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." Jesus/Yeshua, describes who the Messiah is (Yahweh) and what He came to do (bring salvation). The Old Testament even uses "Yeshua" as a verb for salvation and deliverance. Before Moses stretched his rod over the Red Sea during the exodus Israel out of Egypt, he said in Exodus 14:13, "Fear not, station yourselves, and see the salvation [yeshua] of Jehovah..." David, in Psalm 3:8, said "Of Jehovah is this salvation [yeshua]..." Jesus is the salvation of our heavenly Father Yahweh...come to Him for deliverance, salvation, and freedom. To know Jesus Christ is to know the very God (John 14:9). Thank God for becoming Emmanuel (God with us) when He, the Logos, became flesh to be our Yeshua. Blessed be the name of Yahweh. HalleluYah!
