Personally, truth matters to me, especially regarding ANYTHING to do with scripture. If truth doesn\u2019t matter to you, then I can\u2019t help you. If it does, then I\u2019d think you\u2019d be just as disappointed as I was, to learn that the letter \u201cJ\u201d didn\u2019t even exist until 1524 &amp; the word \u201cJesus\u201d wasn\u2019t used ANYWHERE in ANY writings until the mid-1600s (not even in the 1611 King James Bible). I\u2019ve mentioned these things numerous times, been deleted and\/or blocked on here for it, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is, our Savior was a physical Jew with a Hebrew name, not a Greco-Roman name, &amp; certainly not a mid-1600s English version of a Greek name. Neither \u201cJesus\u201d nor it\u2019s Greek original form iesous (ee-yay-sooce) is Hebrew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the Hebrew word \u201cYeshua\u201d (which is never used as Messiah&#8217;s name ANYWHERE in scripture) is incorrect. It\u2019s a latter abbreviation of a mistranslation (Yehoshua) of Messiah\u2019s actual name (Yahoshua).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the proof, using your Strong\u2019s concordance, you can follow along&#8230; Strong\u2019s shows that Jesus (G2424) originates from the same Hebrew name as Joshua (H3091) in Numbers 13:16, Zechariah 3:1 (&amp; other places). They even have at least two instances of misuse in the KJV where one is used when the other should\u2019ve been (Acts 7:45 &amp; Hebrews 4:8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you look at that Hebrew name it supposedly originated from (\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05e9\u05c1\u05e2) you see that Strong\u2019s (H3091) claims it is pronounced as \u201cYehoshua\u201d (though it\u2019s English spelling is \u201cJehoshua\u201d in the KJV), which is blatantly WRONG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s why I can say that with utmost confidence&#8230; Hebrew is read from right to left. At the beginning of the Hebrew name (\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05e9\u05c1\u05e2) you\u2019ll find the short form of THE name of the Father (\u05d9\u05d4\u05bc), which is found in many places in the OT, mainly in the Psalms (Psalm 68:4 &amp; 135:1 come to mind) and used at the beginning and ending of hundreds of names of people and places, where Strong\u2019s concordance (H3050) correctly states it\u2019s pronunciation as \u201cYAH\u201d (though again, the KJV spells incorrectly as JAH).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the last portion of the name is also found in Numbers 13:16, (\u05d4\u05d5\u05e9\u05c1\u05e2) (Strongs H1954) which the KJV spells as \u201cOshea\u201d &amp; Strong\u2019s pronounces as \u201cho-shay&#8217;-ah\u201d (Hoshea)&#8230; so, why would it be \u201cYehoshua\u201d when clearly you can see \u201cYAH\u201d at the beginning? Even the word \u201cYeshua\u201d (\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05bc\u05e2) is butchered in its transfer from Hebrew to English. Strongs (H3442) says it\u2019s pronounced as \u201cYah-shoo\u2019-ah\u201d (Yahshua)&#8230;so, why would that be the case, yet the long form it originated from be \u201cYehoshua\u201d??? It wouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THE Name of our Savior, the Messiah (our Salvation) sent by Yah the Father, is YAHOSHUA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another fact to consider: Every Hebrew name has meaning. Yahoshua means \u201cYah\u2019s Salvation\u201d as you can see this too, by just looking at the two names it\u2019s derived from (YAH &amp; Oshea\/Hoshea).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In closing&#8230;. you have YAH (\u05d9\u05d4\u05bc) (H3050), the short form of Yahweh (\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4) (Strongs H3068), found thousands of times in scripture &amp; most often substituted with the word \u201cLord\u201d&#8230; and the Son, our Savior, the Messiah, Yahoshua (\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05e9\u05c1\u05e2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when you now say \u201cthere\u2019s no other name but Jesus\u201d or some other reverence to that fake name&#8230;..know that you\u2019ve been shown the truth &amp; choose to reject it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information: <a href=\"https:\/\/wayofthetabernacle.com\/name.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nobody in Scripture Ever Knew Jesus<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By guest contributor Donovan Walker I get asked often \u201cwhy does it even matter about the name?\u201d (False name \u201cJesus\u201d vs the true Hebrew name \u201cYahoshua\u201d) Or I simply get told \u201cit doesn\u2019t really matter\u201d (about the name, the Sabbath day, or many other things) . . .
