The history of the name “Jesus”
begins in the Torah in the account in which Yahweh commanded Moses to choose
one man from each of the twelve tribes to spy out the land
of Canaan.
Of
the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea[1] the son of Nun . . . These are the
names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Yehoshua.[1]
The root word of Hoshea
is HOSHUA,
which means "salvation." It
is important to understand that "salvation" in the Hebrew Scriptures
or the Jewish culture did not mean “go
to Heaven after death.” It meant “being
delivered from some danger or threat.” Read the complete blog at -- http://therealyesua.blogspot.com/2015/05/history-of-name-jesus.html
