The Meaning Of The Name Of The Son

In our previous presentation we examined how the name of the Father in Hebrew was constructed. His name reveals his nature and character. He is the creator and giver of life. How about the name of the Son? The name of our Saviour was constructed in the way similar to the way Leah, the first wife of Jacob, named her fourth son Judah. Originally the name Judah was Yehuda. It is a combination of Yahuwah and Yadah meaning praise.

Genesis 29:35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD Yahuwah: therefore she called his name Judah Yahudah; and left bearing.

As we learned before the name of the Father in Hebrew is . Praise is , pronounced yadah. Leah combined the two words to form , pronounced Yahudah. The common letters The meaning of Yahudah is praise Yahuwah.

The name of the Son of God our Saviour was constructed following this same method. The Hebrew word yasha means save or salvation. It is combined with the name of the Father to form , pronounced Yahuswah, meaning salvation of Yahuwah. This means that the Son of God came to save and He was sent by His Father Yahuwah for that purpose:

Matthew 1:21 - And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS Yahuswa: for he shall save his people from their sins.

His salvation must be done in the name of Yahuwah who sent Him:

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.

His coming in the name of His Father Yahuwah was not well received even by His own people in Jerusalem. So, He said these words before He left:

Luke 13:35 - Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord Yahuwah.

So, it was written, and so it shall be done. We will not see Him again until Jerusalem says: "Blessed is He who comes in the name of Yahuwah the Father in Heaven."
