Names For Jesus In The Bible List
Introduction
The original name, Jesus, can be found in the English language of the KJV Bible. The Old Testament uses the name, Joshua. The King James Version translators followed this pattern and used Jesus in all the New Testament verses where Greek manuscripts have Iesous (KJV Strong’s number G2424). “If that was so then why do we find “Jeshua” four times (Ezra 2:2; 3:2; 5:2; Nehemiah 7:7)? Furthermore, why did they render “Joshua” as “Josuah” 24 times? It seems that something has changed.”
JESUS
The word Jesus is the latin form of the hebrew name YAHSHUA, which means “JEHOVAH IS SALVATION.” The original form of this name was Yeshua (Yahshua), meaning “Jehovah is Salvation”.
Jesus is also known as Christ (Greek), Joshua (Hebrew) and Immanuel (“God with us”).
YESHUAH
In the Hebrew language, Yeshuah is Jesus’ name. In other words, this is the way you would say “Jesus” in Hebrew. Yeshuah also refers to Messiah in the same way that it was used when he was born and lived among us. It means “YAHWEH saves”. This is why it was chosen as his official name on his baptism day by John the Baptist—because this is what he came to do!
The word Messiah translates into English as “the anointed one” or “the Christ” (see Matthew 1:16). It’s a Hebrew word with no exact equivalent in English because it refers specifically to Jesus being both God’s Son and His representative here on earth (John 5:22–23).
YESHUA
The name Yeshua is the Hebrew name of Jesus. The word means “Yahweh saves” or “Yahweh is salvation.” Yeshua was used by Jews and Christians to refer to Jesus, but it is also a common Arabic name, so it’s sometimes used by Muslims as well. It’s not uncommon for Baha’is to use this name as well.
This name carries great significance because it means “one who brings salvation” or “one who helps others save themselves.” In Judaism, the Messiah is expected to come at some point in history and bring about peace on earth (as well as other things). When people started connecting these prophecies with Jesus Christ, they began calling him Yeshua instead of his birth name Yahshua (in Greek) or Joshua (in English).
JESHUA
JESHUA is a Hebrew name for Jesus. The name means “Jehovah Saves,” or “God Saves.” It can be translated as “Savior,” or “deliverer from God.”
YAHSHUA
YAHUSHUA is a name for Jesus in the Bible. It is a Hebrew name for Jesus, meaning “Yahweh is salvation” or “He saves.” Messianic Jews and Christians use this name for Jesus as well as other names such as Yeshua (the Aramaic form of the name), Yeshuwa (the Babylonian form of the name), or Christ (a Greek title meaning “anointed one”).
JOSHUA
Joshua was the successor of Moses and a leader of the Israelites. He led them into the Promised Land, where he conquered Canaan and established their occupation there. Joshua was also a warrior who fought in many battles against enemies such as Amorites, Hittites and Canaanites. The book of Joshua is named after him because it contains accounts of his life during this time period.
Joshua’s importance lies not only in what he did for God but also on his relationship with Him: He was one of two men who spoke directly with God face-to-face without having any human intermediary (the other being Moses). In fact, Joshua was one of four people who had that privilege: Abraham; Moses; Aaron; and Samuel were also able to do so (Exodus 33:11).
JEHOSHUA
- JEHOSHUA
JEHOSHUA means “YAHWEH is salvation” and it is the name that Jesus was given at his circumcision. It’s also known as YAHWEH is salvation.
ALMIGHTY GOD
ALMIGHTY GOD: “For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory” (Deuteronomy 20:4). “For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty and awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe” (Deuteronomy 10:17).
ALMIGHTY LORD: You shall fear the LORD your God; Him shall ye serve,…and cleave unto Him; He is your life (Deut. 13:1-3). The heaven and heavens of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built?…But will make his mercy greater than our sins…(Psalm 130:5-8). The Lord hath showed me an amazing thing in His Law; it is that there are no poor among them (Proverbs 14:34)
You can have anything you want if you keep in touch with me and let my words enter your own essence. (NLT) John 15:7
The Lord commanded us to make intercession. Because God commanded it is one of the most simple reasons to pray. Discipleship requires a life of obedient service to God.
“Remain vigilant and seek divine intervention. If you don’t, you’ll give in to temptation. Thought and emotion are on board, but the body can’t keep up. Matthew 26:41, New Living Translation
Then Jesus used a tale to impress upon his followers the need of persistent intercession. (Lucas 18:1)
And always, ask for everything you want, whenever you want, in the Spirit. Keep this in mind as you continue to pray for the saints and watch over them. (NIV) Quote from Ephesians 6:18
Why Bother If I Can’t Pray?
When you don’t know what to say in prayer, the Holy Spirit will show you what to say:
The Spirit strengthens us when we are feeble. When we do not know what to pray for, the Holy Spirit prays for us. Whoever examines our hearts knows the thoughts of the Holy Spirit, for the Spirit intercedes on behalf of the righteous in accordance with God’s will. New International Version (NIV): Romans 8:26-27
ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST – This name has been mentioned over 100 times in Scripture without any other description attached so as not to confuse readers into thinking they were referring to anyone else but Christ alone.(Romans 15:6)
