YESHUA
YAHU'SHUAH- The original Hebrew or Jewish Name of the
professing Jewish Messiah, who was accepted as such by a
certain section (some 3000 souls) of Israel, at and after His
Appearance in Israel, some 2000 years ago. To them He was
known as YAHU'SHUAH (abbreviated: Y'SHUAH, also pronounced
YEHOSHUA or YESHUA). In time, over the first few centuries after
Messiah, His Name was gradually changed to "Je-Zeus Khristos"
by the pagan masses who converted and joined the originally
Jewish Messianic Sect. Out of this, Christianity was born, which
was a mixture of originally pure Judaism, and gradually,
progressive influences of pagan customs and traditions, together
with a growing tide of an anti-Semitic spirit. This was greatly due
to the instigation of influential leaders like Constantine the Great,
who was a Zeus worshipper, and who purportedly converted to
Christianity. It was also a natural process as a result of the
infiltration of followers of the sungod, Zeus, into the Christian
ranks. Even the name of their pagan idol 'Zeus' was applied to
their new-found Jewish Messiah - and Y'Shuah (the abbreviated
transliteration of YAHU'SHUAH), became "Y'Zeus" or Je-Zeus -
which became 'Jesus' in English (NOTE - the middle 's' is
pronounced as a 'z'). In other languages, it took on various
other forms.
A similar pagan influenced name-shift has been retained to this
day in the KJV translation of Luke 4:27, where it refers to the
prophet "Eliseus' and an event recorded in 2 Kings 5:14
(according even to the KJV reference version). This prophet's
Hebrew name, however, was 'Eli'Shuah', which means "God is my
Salvation" (as Y'SHUAH means "YAH is Salvation" or "YAH the
Saviour"). Exactly the same as the pagan influence changed
Y'SHUAH to "Y'Zeus" - ('Jesus' - phonetically 'Jezus'), so also Luke
4:27 reflects the change of "Eli'Shuah" to "Eli'Zeus' ("My God is
Zeus")! Youngs Bible Concordance in its reference to the
name 'Eliseus', states: "The form in which the name of Elisha
appears in the common version of the New Testament and the
Apocrypha in Luke 4:27".
The Hebrew form of the Name YAHU'SHUAH (or Y'SHUAH) is often
used in the Tanach (Old Testament) as well as in the official
Jewish daily and festival Prayer Books, where it is generally
translated as "Salvation".
YAHU'SHUAH = YAHU- SHOE- A (the final A as in arm).
'YA' as in 'yard'
