Subject: God's Name in the New Testament |
Bible Note: If I'm not otherwise mistaken, the NT name of "Jesus" was actually a derivative of the OT name of "Joshua". "Joshua" likewise had originated from the name of "Yeshua", which had itself also come from the name of "YHWH". A rumor that I heard from a scholarly friend many years ago, if I even remember it correctly. Hence, the unknowable name of "YHWH" had evolved through many stages to become the personalized name of "Jesus", with the names "Yeshua" and "Joshua" as the midlinks of the name. Perhaps someone more scholarly than myself can correct me on this. - John 1 14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
