<strong>NAMES</strong> <strong>OF</strong> <strong>GOD</strong> IN <strong>THE</strong> BIBLE: A DISPENSATIONAL APPROACH : PR<strong>OF</strong>. M. M. NINAN<br />
Yeshua<br />
The name, יֵשׁוּעַ Yeshua, it appears in multiple places in the Hebrew Scriptures, as clearly seen in the<br />
Hebrew/Aramaic underlying “Jeshua” in 1&2 Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah, i.e. Ezra 5:2. “Yeshua”<br />
is also the masculine form of the Hebrew word for ,יְשׁוּעָה—”salvation“ y’shuah—as used in Exodus<br />
15:2, Psalm 9:14, Isaiah 60:18 and many other verses. It is true that Y’hoshua/Joshua and Yeshua<br />
are related names, but they are nevertheless distinct. While Joshua means Yah saves, Yeshua<br />
means simply, “he saves” or “salvation,” as signified by Matthew 1:21, “…and you will call His name<br />
Yeshua, for He will save his people from their sins.”<br />
