'Yahusha' or 'Jesus'-What's in a Name?

Pr 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind(ruwach) in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

When we read and understand from Alahim's word we see that Alahim's word has a spiritual language which only Alahim's elect understand by the tender mercies of Alahim. The rest are blinded to truth because Alahim ordained it this way. He confused the languages of man so that he is 'Dispersed in Confusion'. For details you may read my study on 'Zerubbabel-Dispersed in confusion' on my blog www.dsouzashodan72@blogspot.in  

Isa 28:9 ¶ Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

Man is lawless and carnal and blinded to the things of Alahim. Many claim that they know Messiah but yet they do not understand the spiritual language from Alahim's word because Alahim speaks to the people in a 'unknown tongue'. Only those weaned will understand. To understand what means to be Weaned or under suck you may refer to my study 'Am I weaned or under suck?' on this blog.

Let's begin our study with Proverbs 30:4 where book of Proverbs was considered to be written by one of the most wisest men in history of mankind. There was none wise like king Solomon who is a type of Messiah who is the 'Wisdom of Alahim'

Pro 30:4  Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? 


1Co 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah the power of Alahim, and the wisdom of Alahim.

In the Proverbs king Solomon asks the reader to know and tell if he knows the name of the one who has THE BREATH OF EVERY LIVING THING IN HIS HAND (RUWACH) and the one who has bound the waters in a garment?

Isa 40:12 ¶ Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
 13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the YAHUAH, or being his counsellor hath taught him?

King Solomon asks whether one could tell the name of the one who holds RUWACH of every living thing and the waters in his garment and the name of his Son?

So there revolves a mystery in the name of the YAHUAH and the name of his Son which only the elect would understand because the name is revealed only to them. We are the living stones on whom Messiah has written his name which pagans will never understand.

 Re 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

Re 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my Alahim, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my Alahim, and the name of the city of my Alahim, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my Alahim: and I will write upon him my new name.

Before we look at some important aspects as 'What's in a name?', 'Is a name change of Alahim allowed?' let's first look at who was the one who descended and ascended into heaven as stated in Proverbs 30:4

Eph 4:10 He(Messiah) that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

Yes the one who descended and ascended was Messiah. He is the Son of the living Alahim. But does Alahim have a name? Does his Son have a name? If Messiah tells his elect that he will give his elect his new name written then it definitely holds that we must find out what that name is?

Moreover John saw  all elect (the entire body of Messiah) on Mount Sion with the Lamb and having his Father's name written on their foreheads.

Re 14:1 ¶ And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

What is that name?

Ex 6:2 And Alahim spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the YAHUAH:
 3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of Alahim Almighty, but by my name YAHUA was I not known to them.

We also see Messiah praying that Alahim would glorify his name and Alahim says that he has both glorified it and will glorify it again. Here is the verse:

Joh 12:28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

So Alahim speaks of glorifying his name TWICE. So let's look at when did Alahim reveal to Moses that his name was 'YAHUA' and what does the name mean?

Yahuah comes from the root word 'hawah' (Strongs 1901) which means 'to be/become'. In what context Alahim reveals to Moses his name can be understood when we read Exo 6:1

Ex 6:1 ¶ Then the YAHUAH said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.

With a mighty hand Alahim would deliver his people from the hand of Pharaoh and Alahim fulfilled this when he cast the horse and the rider in the depths of the sea.

Ex 15:4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
 5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
 6 Thy right hand, O YAHUAH, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O YAHUAH, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

 Isa 53:1 ¶ Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the YAHUAH revealed? 

Joh 12:37 ¶ But though he (Messiah)had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
 38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Yahuah been revealed?

The Yahuah is a Spirit and his 'ARM' is an act of him 'BECOMING' (1906 'hayah') which we see fulfilled in Messiah who is the Right hand of the Yahuah which is become glorious in power as stated in Exo 15: 6 because by it he dashed in pieces the enemy.

Re 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty

Re 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers(suntribo: to shatter): even as I received of my Father.

In the context of John 12:28 when we compare scriptures with scriptures we see that Alahim glorified his name 'YAHUA' the first time when he delivered Israel out of Egypt by his mighty hand and the second time by the name of his Son which is rooted and come from 'YAHUA' and that name is 'YahuahSHI' which means 'YAHUA HAS BECOME MY SALVATION'

Php 2:9 Wherefore Alahim also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
 10 That at the name of 'YahuahSHI' every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Song of Moses and the Lamb:

Ex 15:1 ¶ Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the YAHUAH, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the YAHUAH, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.


Ex 15:4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
 5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
 6 Thy right hand, O YAHUAH, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O YAHUAH, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

Re 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of Alahim.
 3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of Alahim, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Yahuah Alahim Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

The Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb shows the glorification of the name of 'YAHUA' twice as Alahim stated in John 12:28. The ARM of the YAHUAH is revealed by his NAME.

This the new name Messiah says he will give his elect and write on them. His seal of his salvation he attained for them by 'BECOMING'. Alahim is invisible and intangible and Messiah is the image of the invisible Alahim (Col 1:15). He came out from Alahim (John 16:27, 17:8)
Alahim cannot be seen or touched because in transcendence he dwells in an unapproachable light which not even one can see or approach. (1 Tim 6:16)

So his name is important and needs his 'VALIDATION'. We may name our children after our name or any name we seem may good but we cannot NAME GOD. This right he reserves himself and he reveals his name to his elect which no man should change. Man is lawless and has in him inbuilt 'dispersed in confusion' and has a god of his own making ability and always displays 'WILL WORSHIP'.

Alahim's name has his VALIDATION because when you call on his name he SAVES. That's his promise.

Joe 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the YAHUAH( YAHUA) shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the YAHUAH hath said, and in the remnant whom the YAHUAH shall call.

Ro 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Yahuah (YahuahSHI) shall be saved.

Yes that VALIDATION Alahim has given because YahuahSHI comes from the name YAHUA

The Devil knows that by calling on the name of YahuahSHI there is salvation so he has to set in a different name which will leave callers powerless and that name is Yahusha (we will look at the origin of the name Yahusha a little later).The name YahuahSHI has the form of a compound of "Yeho-" and "shua": Yeho- יְהוֹ is another form of יָהו Yahu, a theophoric element standing for the name of Alahim יהוח (the Tetragrammaton Yahuah, sometimes transcribed into English as Yahuah or Jehovah).As far as the Hebrew Bible is concerned, it is important to note that in the early books, the name Joshua is spelled as ( yod-hey-waw-shin-ayin)

Nothing is more annoying than when someone calls you by a name that is not your name. It would be insulting if it had repeatedly been made clear what your name was. But after they had been warned not to call you by any other name, especially a derogatory name you would be furious.

I am YAHUA, that is My name; and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images. (Isaiah 42:8)

Man is carnal and doesn't understand the things of Alahim. Man doesn't understand why Alahim gave us a name. Messiah bears the name of YAHUA and came in his NAME

Joh 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

These are the very words of Messiah. You will not see ( greek word horao: which means discern clearly/behold) me unless you confess that I am come in the name of 'YAHUA'. Those who can't see/discern this/behold this are under the influence of Mystery Babylon because the name change from 'YahuahSHI' to 'Iseous' was done by Rome.

Mt 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see(horao) me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Yahuah.

Ps 118:26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the YAHUAH(YAHUA): we have blessed you out of the house of the YAHUAH.

I will give a short background of the name change that happened from 'YahuahSHI' to 'Iesous'. There was a transition from the 5th beastly rule (Greece) to the 6th beastly rule (Rome) and Rome wanted to win all the Greeks to be loyal to her so she adopted the Greek culture which can be seen in the names of various places which even bible mentions

It is known that the Greek name endings with sus, seus, and sous were attached by the Greeks to names and geographical areas as means to give honour to their supreme deity, Zeus.

Few cities in Alahim's word which shows this are 'Tarsus', 'Ephesus', 'Cyprus', 'Ashdod called as Azotus by Greeks','Ptolemais' ,'Miletus' etc. The names like 'Cornelius' ,'Elijah was called as 'Elias', 'Trophimus' etc all have their roots from the 5th beast Greece who were obsessed with their deity 'Zeus'. Rome was now paganizing Messiahianity so to appease the Greek converts they adopted a new name for the Messiah and that was 'Iesous' which actually mans 'Hail Zeus'

How long shall this be? Is it in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, and prophets of the deceit of their own heart? That think to cause My people to forget My name (Yahuah) by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers forgot My name (Yahuah) for Ba'al (god & Yahuah). (Jeremiah 23:26-27)

These are the roots of Mystery Babylon. Changing Alahim's name is forbidden in scripture. And Jeremiah 23:26-27 is very clear on this. Giving Alahim a name which is not VALIDATED by him is taking his name in VAIN. It's a direct violation of the 10 commandments.

You shall not take the Name of Yahuah your Elohim in vain; for Yahuah will not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain. (Exodus 20:7)

"Ie" translates as "Hail" and "sous"or "sus" translates as Zeus. The English name "Yahusha", therefore, stems etymologically from "Jupiter-Zeus" the chief god of the ancient Greek Olympus."-"Yeshua" (from Aramic) or "Yahusha"

Yahusha the English name derived from 'Iesous' was a name given to him by the early church many years after His death.  They wanted to remove any Jewishness from the new church. They eliminated His Jewish name and blended the name of Zeus into the Messiahian church to make it comfortable for all those who previously worshiped the Greek and Roman gods.  It made it easier for the pagans to become  Messiahians. Since Zeus was the top god of their experience, attaching the name Ioesus to Yahushua gave Him top priority in the worship hierarchy.

The pagans of Greece and Rome had worshiped Zeus as the supreme deity. Their savior was Zeus, so now they were eager to accept Yahusha as Iesous, or Zeus as their saviour.

Satan knows the saving power in the name of 'YahuahSHI' so he gave Messiahianity a pagan name called 'IESOUS' and translated in English as Yahusha.

Ac 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

We have a clue to THE NAME OF THE ALMIGHTY, from the scripture and the word 'HALLELUYAH' which means Praise YAH, so YAH is his name.The name of Yahusha is a 400 year old name approximately, because the English language never had the letter "J" till then. No name beginning with the letter "J" can be attributed to
THE ALMIGHTY. It's 'YAH' and his Son 'YahuahSHI' pronounced as 'YAHUSHUA' that Solomon is asking you to know and understand.



Even HALLELUYAH' has been replaced with 'HalleluJAH' .The name Yahusha is NOT a derivative of Yahuah. We have many out there saying we are legalists who follow this and that's because they do not understand the roots of Mystery Babylon and are into whoredoms. Messiah will reveal his name only to his elect.

Ps 68:4 Sing unto Alahim, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH (YAH), and rejoice before him.

Ps 105:45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the YAHUAH (HalalYAH)

Alahim calls us to repentance and correction. What's in his name? Who is man to change the name that Alahim has revealed? YahuahSHI is not Yahusha. Millions are calling on that name just as people forgot YAHUA's name for BAAL as stated in Jeremiah 23:26-27. This is another whoredom of Mystery Babylon

Ezekiel 36: 20 And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the YAHUAH, and are gone forth out of his land.
21 But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Yahuah GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the YAHUAH(YAHUA), saith the Yahuah GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.


Jeremiah 3:17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the YAHUAH; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the YAHUAH(YAHUA), to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.

 42  (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house;

 43  Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name

Can anyone call on the Pagan Name of God as people try to justify in many languages?

1 Kings 8:42-43. You forgot to mention from where those verses were. God bless.

Even God, Lords are all common nouns. I would prefer to use Elohim, Master and Messiah or the anointed one instead of Christ. Christ is not his surname my friend in Yahoshua. The one who is anointed is king. So when we call Yahoshua the anointed we acknowledge that He is the King and we are waiting for His Kingdom and to be part of it.

Shodan said...

Hi Blan. Thanks for your input.I did not say Christ is Yehoshua's surname. I use Christ frequently because that's one of the titles given to Yehoshua. He is the ANOINTED one. My study was to show reverence to the name God has given by which all men should be saved (Acts 4:12)and there is no other name given under heaven. Yehoshua is derived from Yahweh and means Yahweh is my Salvation. The name Jesus is a pagan derivation and means 'Hail Zeus'.

I would like our friends in Yahoshua to read Dr.Neil Snyder's ebook "His name is Yahweh" He is currently the Ralph A. Beeton Professor Emeritus at the University of Virginia. The link is http://www.hisnameisyahweh.org/His%20Name%20is%20Yahweh.pdf

Be blessed in Yahoshua the Messiah.

Unknown said...

Just as Jesus is not the Messiah's Hebrew name. The name is derived from Greek name Iesus (ee-ay-sooce)and later when J language was introduced in English it became Jesus (Gee Zus) Similarly the Greek word Christos for the hebrew word Messiach remained untranslated and remained as Christ. When we have the word Messiah/Annointed why not use this instead of Christ where everyone uses this word as Yahshua's surname. It would be more meaningful as well.

Halleluyah! Our Elohim is revealing His Name to His people in these last days before the soon return of His Son Yahshua. May Yahweh and Him alone be glorified in our worship. Rev 14:6 And I saw another cherub flying in mid-heaven, and with blood having the everlasting good news to proclaim to those dwelling on the earth, even to every nation and tribe and tongue and people,
Rev 14:7 saying in a great voice, Fear YAHWEH, and give glory to Him, because the hour of His judgment has come; also, Worship Him who has "made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea," and the springs of waters. (Ex. 20:11)

Zep 3:9 For then will I turn to the people a PURE LANGUAGE, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD(YAHWEH) , to serve him with one consent.
