Here is the Hebrew word that means Yeshua or in the KJV it is spelled as Jeshua.

The name Jeshua in the KJV or more correctly Yeshua, which means the salvation of Yahweh or the WAY in which Yahweh SAVES.

 

The Meaning of NAMES in the Bible!

Some Names Tell us a STORY!

 

For example, in Ezra 2:1,2 we find a list of names of the children who came out of captivity in Babylon. And in the MEANINGS of those NAMES we can see a PROPHECY of the Messiah.

Let us first read Ezra 2:2,2 from the King James Version of the Bible. And then, I will explain the meaning of their NAMES that tell the story of the Messiah prevailing over Satan and the fallen angels to SAVE the children of the WORLD.

 

Ezra 2:1,2. 

 

“Now these are the children of the province that went up out of the captivity, of those which had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away unto Babylon, and came again unto Jerusalem and Judah, every one unto his city

Ezra 2:2. Which came with (Or the children that came FROM) Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel.” 

 

#1. Zerubbabel means descended of Babylon or one who was BORN there.

Babylon represents the world and Zerubbabel is a FIGURE of Jesus who was BORN in the world. And because of Jesus, who is a figure of Jeshua, or more correctly Yeshua, the Messiah.

#2. Jeshua means he will SAVE. Hence,  the Hebrew spelling as Yeshua is the Messiah. So then, the CHILDREN of Yeshua are Nehemiah.

#3. Nehemiah means the consolation of Yah, as in, those who are consoled or comforted by Jesus. In other words, Jesus teaches us that he has OVERCOME the world, and through Christ, the anointing helps us overcome the world.

#4.Seraiah means Yah has prevailed.

#5. Reelaiah means made to TREMBLE, as in, Yah has SHAKEN. And of the following are six names Mispar means enumeration or to make a list. Rheum, spelled Nahamani in Nehemiah 7:7, and it means consolatory, to have pity, and to avenge. And Baanah means in affliction. Now, Mordecai we know was falsely accused and a gallows was prepared by his accuser to hang Mordecai. But Modecia was proven innocent and his accuser was hanged. Here are th six names as they are spelled in Ezra 2:2.

#6. Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah. So then, who do these six people plus the first five names represent? The rest of the verse says the following.

#7. The number of MEN of the PEOPLE. The Hebrew word translated as MEN is NOT “Adam”, which means human or mortal men. But rather, it is the Hebrew word “’ı̂ysh”, Strong’s number H376, which means extant or the editing ones.

And the Hebrew word translated as “people” also means TROOPS. So then, the phrase “the number of men of the people” could represents the number of the existing ones of the TROOPS in the previous age of the world. For you see, the fallen angels are the FALSE accusers of the brethren. And like Mordecai was proven INNOCENT the children of Zerubabel will be proven innocent through the blood of Yeshua.

#8. Israel means he shall rule as God. In other words, the one BORN in this world is Yeshua, who will SAVE the world by being GIVEN a NEW NAME, the name Yah to rule as God over the earth in the world to come.

Here is the link to Blueletter.org so that you can look up any or all of the Strongs numbers below to see the meanings of these Hebrew words for yourself.

The purpose of this study is not to form any church doctrine. But rather, it is to encourage my readers to dig deeper into the Scriptures. And there are many passages of Scripture that have lists of names that tell a story that is also found in the Bible. Another example in Proverbs 30:1-4.

 

Proverbs 30:1.  

 

“The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spoke unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal.

 

#1. Agur means gatherer or received.

#2. Jakeh means obedient.

Even the PROPHECY, the MAN who spoke unto Ithiel.

#3. Ithiel means God has arrived.

#4. Ucal means devoured.

 

To me, I see that Jakeh is a figure of Jesus, and Agur symbolizes all who believe in Jesus to be received into glory or gathered together at the coming of Jesus.

Ithiel speaking of God Himself coming down out of heaven at the end of the Millennial reign of Jesus for the White throne judgment. And Jesus speaks to Yahweh as our mediator and accuses Satan as a LYING God and ffALSE accuser of the brethren. And then, Yahweh DEVOURS Ucal which represents all of those cast into the lake of fire to be consumed to ashes.
