THE "BLESSED NAME" OF JESUS: It may be noted first,in passing,that the name of the "Christ",whether God or man,was not, to himself and his family and people, Jesus at all. His given name in Hebrew, or Aramaic, the language in which he spoke is Yehoshua[ plain Joshua]. The meaning of the name is "Yahveh is salvation", Jesus is the later Greek form of the name Joshua. The added title "Christ"is another Greek translation or substitute for the Hebrew Scriptural word" Messiah", which mean "anointed". John, if he wrote the gospel attributed to him, himself a Hebrew but writing in current Greek, correctly explains this when he tells of Andrew's coming to his brother Simon Peter and announcing: " We have found the Messiah, which being interpreted, the" Christ"[ John 1:41]. Both words, the Hebrew Mashiach and its Greek equivalent Christos, means simply," the anointed" The Galilean bearer of this name[ Hebrew, Joshua; Greek, Jesus],by this token cannot be the virgin-born subject of the "prophecy" of Isaiah, as claimed by Matthew; for Isaiah declares that his virgin, bearing a son," shall call his name Immanuel"[ Isa.7:14, quoted in Matt.1:23]; this name as Matthew explains in the same verse,"being interpreted is, God[ EL ] with us"[ Matt.1:23], whereas Joshua[ Jesus ] means as we have seen, " Yahveh is salvation" So the virgin-born Joshua or Jesus of Matthew cannot possibly be, all other proofs aside, be the same infant as the virgin-born Immanuel of Isaiah. It has already been fully proved that Isaiah's unfulfilled "prophecy" regarding his "sign" of the outcome of the war of the two kings against Jerusalem does not at all refer to the child of Mary, 750 years later. We need not dwell again here on this prophecy of miraculous birth, but proceed to some other compelling proofs of the persistent errancy and inconsistency of Matthew and his fellow propagandists of this Jesus as the Christ. The great national hero who should come to avenge the Chosen Children of Yahveh against the Assyrians and other oppressors is not once intimated in the Hebrew Scriptures to be anything other than a human being," of the seed of David"who as a king, should re-establish the throne of David on earth, as soften promised and proclaimed by Yahveh[ e.g. Isa..11:1;Luke. 1:32, Acts 2:30]. Never once is it hinted that Yahveh himself," Man of war"though he was, would come in person to accomplish the liberation and restoration of his Chosen People, after failing so signally to save them from destruction and captivity. Nor is there so much as an ambiguous or doubtful bit of revelation that Yahveh had a son by the name Joshua, whom he would send at some time in the future to fill the role of the promised hero, and neither re-establish the throne of David on earth or set up a new religion promising a Kingdom in heaven to the disappointed expectants of the renew earthly Kingdom of Israel...is it gods word...
