Summary: There are those that want to say that you want to put so much emphasis on the name it really doesn’t matter that much and you don’t need to teach that. However understanding Yeshua’s name helps maintain the continuity of the Hebrew identity and heritage that it rightfully ours.

The Real Name
Yeshua HaMashiach

Part #3
OPENING: - As we start 2026 and I bring this lesson on today the Breaking News Yesterday Morning January 3, 2026 was U.S. captured the President and 1st Lady of Venezuela and Trump was on Fox News talking about we didn’t lose anybody, a couple people were hit, but nobody died and all I could think about was when Yeshua (Jesus) said “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, see that you are not alarmed: for these things must take place, but the end is not yet” Matthew 24:6-7, Marl 13:7, Luke 21:9. He was letting us know its not time to panic for these things must come to pass, but we must understand that along with famines, earthquakes, and other signs that are to follow that these are the beginning of birth pains Matthew 24:8 we must remain faithful, deepen our understanding, strengthen our stance, urge others to come in before it is to late, not to be led astray with every wind and doctrine that is running rampant, and lean not to our own understanding but make sure that we our built on the solid foundation, the solid ROCK Yeshua HaMashiach – (Jesus Christ). Acts 4:10-12 says, “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved”.
We are living in the last days and people need to wake up, understand truth, and make sure you are not deceived.
PRAYER
Yeshua HaMashiach
As I stated on last week the name Yeshua was translated from Hebrew to Greek to Latin and into what we know today in English as Jesus and is the most common pronunciation today. Although translated the meaning is still the same SALVATION. Now there are some that will hold that John 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” believing that Yah must be in His name in order for Him to come in His father’s name instead of understanding that He is coming and operating in the Power and the Authority of His father’s name indicating that His actions are not merely personal but are in accordance with God’s Divine Purpose and Will. Therefore they want to insist on His name being Yahusha or Yehoshua which are common forms of Joshua meaning Yahweh is salvation. Understand, both names still point to the same person Yeshua and His purpose SALVATION. Yeshua is the more accepted as to what He was called while Yahusha is a more modern pronunciation.
Yahweh is the name of God in Hebrew, often associated with the tetragrammaton YHWH, whichsignifies God's eternal nature it emphasizes God’s sovereignty and eternal existence. Yeshua, is the Hebrew name for Jesus, meaning"salvation". Yeshua is he incarnation of Yahweh,the fulness of the Godhead. Both names reflect different aspects of the Divine:- Yahweh the Eternal God while Yeshua encompasses the Redemptive aspect of God through Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ).
Yeshua HaMashiach is Hebrew for Jesus the Messiah a title meaning Jesus the Anointed One.
Let’s look at Yeshua HaMashiach, we now understand Yeshua means salvation, the Lord Saves, delivers. HaMashiach translates to “The Messiah – to Anoint” a Divinely Appointed King or Deliverer. This name and title identify Yeshua as the Prophesied Savior from scripture, fulfilling the role of the promised Anointed One who brings Salvation and Redemption to mankind.
WATCH THIS: - Christ is NOT Jesus’ last name it is the Greek translation of HaMashiach The Messiah to Anoint. The Anointed One points to a chosen leader, a Priest, Prophet, King, and Spiritual Liberator.
Yeshua HaMashiach identifies Him as the promised deliverer from the Old Testament prophecies who would bring spiritual liberation fulfillment in the New Testament. Yeshua HaMashiach declares without wavering that He is the long awaited, divinely appointed Messiah, the Anointed Savior, the Deliverer.
Yeshua HaMashiach Anointed to Serve
In His first coming, Yeshua HaMashiach came as the Suffering Servant in Isaiah53 He came to fulfill our irreparable need of reconciliation to God. He proved Himself a humble servant offering us undeserved love and Amazing Grace. Isaiah 53:4 says, “Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our pains”. Vs 12 “because He poured out His soul to death and was counted with transgressors”. Mark 10:45 says, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many”. John13 tells how He washed the feet of His disciples “…He began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel wrapped around Him…”. Yeshua redefined leadership and taught that greatness in His kingdom is found in being a servant not a ruler.
