What is Yahshua?

A Yahwistic equivalent of the Gentile-English "Jesus Christ" or the Messianic Jewish "Yeshua HaMashiach".

Old Testament scholars often refer to the religion of the Hebrew Bible as "Yahwism", because Yahweh is the center of this religion, and the name "Yahweh" is used throughout. During the time between the Testaments, Judaism developed, wherein Yahweh is worshipped, but His name is not pronounced as a way to avoid saying the name in vain. Hence the Yahwistic "Yahshua HaMashiach" versus the Jewish "Yeshua HaMashiach".

What does "Yahshua" mean?

"Yahshua" means "Yah(weh) saves". Commonly understood by the Hebrew people as being the true name of the man commonly called "Jesus Christ".

JOHN 5:43, The Messiah said, "I have come in My Father's name, but, you did not recieve Me. Another will come in his own name, and him you will recieve."

"Yeshua" means "He saves" and was the most popular form of the name which is now commonly translated into English as "Jesus". But, "Yahshua" means "Yah saves", and therefore contains the name of The Father "Yah" (Weh). See Psalm 68:4.

Compare MATTHEW 1:16 and LUKE 3:23.
