Saturday 4-15-23 7th. Day Of The Weekly Cycle Nisan 23, 5783 27th. Spring Day
He is our Lord and Savior, the One who achieved His purposes of representing God to us in life, then dying on the cross for our sins and redemption. His life has led to several experiencing spiritual transformation and accepting God as our eternal Father in heaven.
any know Him as Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of God, but many others know as “Yeshua,” a name prevalent in Hebrew and Aramaic languages. If Jesus is most prominently known for the name found in several current translations of the Bible (King James, New International, etc.), why should “Yeshua” be viewed with the same honor and respect as that of Jesus or even Yahweh?
The answer lies in the fact that the origins of “Yeshua” and where it is used most to describe Jesus draws believers closer to the realization of what He came to do on earth and in heaven. It’s a name that represents His Hebrew identity and establishes a stronger connection with believers of all generations.
There are several definitions of Yeshua that can be found in Hebrew and Aramaic biblical text, taken from the Hebrew verb, yasha, that means “to deliver, save, or rescue,” and also stated as “Yehoshua.” Pronunciation of “Yeshua,” in Hebrew, can be read this way: “Yod,” “Shin,” “Vav,” “Ayin.” In Aramaic, the term, “Yeshu,” was transliterated from the Hebrew term of Yeshua, pronounced as “Yeh-shoo,” and missing the “a.”
Greek translations have “Yeshua” listed as Yesous, among first century Greeks, of which the name, Jesus, is derived.
The involvement of the Council of Nicea, within the Roman Catholic Church, as well as influence of the English language into biblical text changed the use of “Yeshua” to describe the Savior into Jesus. “Yeshua” can be found most in the Hebrew Bible and other ancient texts that are still referenced among those in the Jewish faith. Hebrew is still considered the holy language used primarily for worshipping and prayer to God.
