Matthew 1:21 -> "And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His
name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins."
Of course, the name Jesus means "Jehovah saves".

| Yes John, you are right. Yeshua is the Hebrew name. Yeshua means
salvation. It is sometimes also translated deliverance. What has
been very exciting for us to see the name Yeshua in the Tanakh (O.T.)
now that we know what to look for. I'll bring in some references
for you, its very awe inspiring as many of the verses are one that
have been historically applied to prophecy concerning the Messiah,
and there is His name. "See the Lord's Yeshua is coming!"
Yeshua was transliterated to Greek, from there to Latin, and from
there to the transliteration with which we are all so familiar, Jesus.
Try the Matthew verse again with a translation instead of transliteration:
"And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name SALVATION
for He will save His people from their sins."
I think it would have been better if we'd tranlated his name to Salvation
in English, but no matter what, by any name, the historical person is
still our Annointed One, our Deliverer.

On a side note, but related...
What word did Mary and Joseph use when speaking to him? If Yeshua, which
means salvation or deliverance, would it have sounded 'odd' to them - as
if I had named my son 'salvation' instead of 'James'?
Not really important, I guess, just something I've always wondered

| Hi Steve,
Chaim is a Jewish name used today. I just recently read a novel by
Chaim Potek. Chaim means life in Hebrew. You may have heard "l'chaim"
sometime used as a toast meaning "to life". Asher means happy. I
have a friend whose first name is Asher. So my guess is that it would
not have sounded strange to them.

| I think it would seem strange to early generations that we consider our names
have no meaning! If you look in a book of names, they find some meaning for
them all. We have generally forgotten the meaning, and just use them as a tag.
