]]>Most of us did not start our spiritual journey with a Torah-observant mindset — we had what Keith Johnson calls a “Jesus journey.” We learned the Jesus stories and the Jesus songs, but there’s a big difference between knowing about him and truly knowing him.
The truth is, we cannot truly understand his ministry or his message without first understanding his original, given name: Yeshua.
Why Not Jesus? with Keith Johnson stresses the importance of knowing the power and purpose of our Messiah’s name — because, without it, we will fall into the trap of creating our own “Jesus” and our own religion.
Mainstream marketing has been flooded with a multi-million-dollar campaign to promote the Messiah — but is it pointing to a savior that doesn’t exist? Keith Johnson explains why the “He Gets Us” campaign sends a misguided message based upon a false idea of “Jesus” and why the real question is: “Do we get Him?”

Where did Yeshua’s name come from? Modern Christianity would have us believe it was unique, but it actually comes from the Torah! Keith Johnson explains how Yeshua’s name was politicized over the centuries to completely disassociate it from the language, history, and context of the Old Testament!

Translators of many English Bibles put poison tricks into their translations in order to disconnect the English name “Jesus” from the Hebrew Yeshua. Keith Johnson reveals “the Bethlehem birth certificate” that forever solidifies Yeshua’s name with his mission.

Yeshua never spoke in his own name; he spoke only in the name of his Father. In this final episode, Keith Johnson shows us, using Yeshua’s own words, what the Messiah’s name really means, why it has so much power, and how his name was written in three different languages.

]]>The name “Jesus” has a long, long history. The origin of this name is the Hebrew name יהושע (yehoshu’a, Strong’s #3091 [Latinized as Joshua]), which means “Yahweh saves.” This Hebrew name is first used Exodus 17:9 where we are introduced to Yehoshu’a Ben Nun.
When this Hebrew name was transliterated in the Greek Septuagint (2,000 year old Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) it was written as Ἰησοῦς (iesous). The Greek alphabet had no “Y” sound, so it used the “I” sound. The Greek alphabet has no consonant “H,” or equivalent, so this sound is dropped. The Greek alphabet also had no “Sh” sound, so it used the “S” sound. Then, Greek male names end with “s,” so the “s” was added. And this is how יהושע (yehoshu’a) became Ἰησοῦς (iesous) in the Greek.
It is common for names to shift and evolve when transferred from one culture to another. For instance, the German name Ludwig is Louis in France and the Spanish name Juan is John in English speaking countries. The Hebrew name יהושע (yehoshu’a, Strong’s #3091) is ישוע (yeshu’a, Strong’s #3442 [Latinized as Jeshua]) in the Aramaic language, such as we see in Ezra 2:2. When this Aramaic name was transliterated in the Greek Septuagint, they used the same method as stated above and it comes out to Ἰησοῦς (iesous), the same as it did for yehoshu’a.
When we come to the New Testament period we find that the name of the Messiah is Ἰησοῦς (iesous) in the Greek New Testament, but we find that it is ישוע (yeshu’a) in the Aramaic New Testament. When the Greek New Testament was translated into Latin in the 4th Century this name was written as Iesus, an exact match to the Greek that it came from. The Latin letter “I” split into two letters, “I” and “J.” Originally this was two different ways of writing the same letter. So the Iesus became Jesus, but they were both pronounced the same way. Years later, some cultures began using the “I” for the vowel sound and “J” for a “Y” sound. It was not until around 1500 AD that the letter J took on the “dg” sound we are familiar with today.
So, the modern name “Jesus” comes from the Latin Iesus, which comes from the Greek Iesous, which comes from the Aramaic Yeshu’a and the Hebrew Yehoshu’a.

]]>In translating scripture, the word “scribe” means “to count”. When scribes would finish copying a section of text, they would count every dot, dash, jot and tittle and compare it to the original. If they were one character off in their copied text count, they would recount the text. The precision they executed is mind boggling.
A translation is also an interpretation. But in the original text every letter, dot and dash has to be preserved perfectly. Yeshua said that not one jot and tittle from the Torah will pass away until all is fulfilled. Jesus himself said he had not come to do away with one jot or tittle of the Torah. The English translation doesn’t contain all these little markings, therefore a great deal of meaning is lost to most Americans. Jesus himself said he had not come to do away with one jot or tittle of the law. Are we missing something? Tune in and find out the truth of what is written…not what is said.
