Just like YHWH, Jesus is the Most High

on earth. Even all the Angels worship

Jesus in Heaven, including the

Adversary. That is why the Adversary

on the day of temptation fled when

Jesus reminded him that he used to

worship Jesus in Matthew 4:10.

(9) Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name,  (10)  that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal beings ,  (11)  and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord [YAHWEH] to God the Father's glory. Philippians 2:9- 11 Darby  (17) Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish;  (18)  That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth. Psalms 83:17-18 ASV (9-10) and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. (10) Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Matthew 4:9-10 ASV

IS THE GREEK DERIVED NAME ‘JESUS’ A SACRILEGE TO JUDAISM AND

CHRISTIANITY?

It came to my attention that the name Jesus which is used in the English language has been controversial in some circles. The question raised about the name is that it does not reflect the Hebrew name which was given to Mary. The name Jesus is seen as a corruption or a mixing of the Hebrew name with another pagan god through many generations and evolution of languages. In reality, that the name of Jesus differ in other languages cannot be considered a sacrilege. For example, the vocabulary of the English language is not the same as it was in the 8th century and today. The same is true for all languages including ancient Hebrew, Greek, Latin, et cetera, and other modern languages. Given that everchanging nature of languages, can there be a problem if biblical names also evolve with time? Also, since God had confounded the languages of men to divide them in the hope to minimize the consequences of their evilness if they would speak the same language, would God consider it unacceptable to adjust the spelling of His name which cannot be translated and other biblical names as languages evolve? As the Torah went out of Zion to the globe where many languages other than the languages of the Bible are spoken, does God care if the orthography of His name and of other biblical names are adjusted in other languages? Would God forbid the translations of the Bible when He was Himself behind confounding our language and, thus, gave man ability to speak languages that they did not know? Does not God know all the babblings of man? As the Tetragrammaton YHWH cannot be translated or pronounced as neither YHOSHUA, it is understandable that other languages find words not names to refer to the Tetragrammaton and YHOSHUA. We just have to know which word refers to the name of God or YHOSHUA in other languages and which other words refer to His titles. The only thing we read about the name of God is that we may not take in vain, but we are not forbidden to say it. That is of course subject to interpretation. But, what about the Hebrew name YHOSHUA which, trough translations, give us the modern name Jesus in English? Is it important to know and understand the name of God or of Jesus in our respective languages? I think it is, but not because of sacrilegious religious consciousness or concerns. Knowing the Hebrew name of Jesus and His titles is important because Jesus says that the Scriptures concern Him and because the Angel added to the scope of the name which was given to Mary. I mean to say that we need to identify who Jesus is, even though the semantic cannot bring us to know who He is (Luke 10:22). The same Hebrew name YHOSHUA which was given to the son of Nun by Moses was significant but it is more important for Jesus, as Jesus is someone who was translated into a womb to become a human being to be challenged by Satan for the eternal annihilation of the souls or spirits of man, which are in the firm hands of God anyway. No matter what the Hebrew orthography of the name of Jesus is in other languages, the Angel connected it to the symbolism of the name of the son of Nun. If there is doubt that the Hebrew name of Jesus has not the same meaning as the name of the son of Nun, the other meaning is still relevant to the identification of Jesus in Heaven as the only Saviour of mankind in Heaven. What matters is the fact that the Hebrew name of Jesus implies that Jesus is not a Savior but the Savior. If you would think that Judaism and Christianity are two opposite religions, know that there is only one Savior in Judaism and in Christianity. Jesus Himself made the connection in citing Deuteronomy 6:4 as the most important commandment in Judaism. There was no Christianity (MESSIAH] yet. Judaism clearly identified the name of the One Savior there is. It is the Tetragrammaton YHWH. If Jesus is from Heaven and, just like YHWH, asserts Himself as the only Savior there is, the connection between Jesus and YHWH must be clear to anyone who has been been given access to that top secret open knowledge which is ‘YHWH is Iēsoús’, Iesus, Jesus, Yeshua, Yehoshua, YEHOSUA, Yhoshua, et cetera. Life eternal is not that we know the name of YHWH or of Jesus but life eternal is that we know Who is God the Father and His Son because we are, according to Romans 10:9-11, obligated to confess that YHWH is Jesus or whatever your acceptable semantic may be for Jesus. If you cannot see that necessary confession in the cited verses, you really have to investigate the name and titles of Jesus in the New Testament, specially the different name and title other than the nominative Greek reference name of the son of Nun that He was to be named, which other one is MESSIAH YHWH in Luke 2:11.
