The Many Names of Yeshua

Yeshua (meaning “Salvation”) is the original Hebrew name of the one English-speaking people call Jesus. Jesus is a transliteration of the Hebrew Yeshua to the Greek spelling Iesous, from which, through the Latin Iesus, comes the English spelling Jesus. The name Jesus did not exist during the time Jesus Christ was on Earth, and did not come into use until it was configured by the Council of Nicea of the Roman Catholic Church in the 4th century.

Yeshua has many names and titles given Him in the Bible, including: ADVOCATE, ALMIGHTY, ALPHA AND OMEGA, AMEN, APOSTLE OF OUR PROFESSION, ARM OF THE LORD, AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH, AUTHOR OF ETERNAL SALVATION, BEGINNING OF CREATION OF GOD, BELOVED SON, BLESSED AND ONLY POTENTATE, BRANCH, BREAD OF LIFE, CAPTAIN OF SALVATION, CHIEF SHEPHERD, CHRIST OF GOD, CONSOLATION OF ISRAEL, CORNERSTONE, COUNSELLOR, CREATOR, DAYSPRING, DELIVERER, DESIRE OF THE NATIONS, DOOR, ELECT OF GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, FAITHFUL WITNESS, FIRST AND LAST, FIRST BEGOTTEN, FORERUNNER, GLORY OF THE LORD, GOD, GOD BLESSED, GOOD SHEPHERD, GOVERNOR, GREAT HIGH PRIEST, HEAD OF THE CHURCH, HOLY CHILD, HOLY ONE, HOLY ONE OF GOD, HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, HORN OF SALVATION, I AM, IMAGE OF GOD, IMMANUEL, JEHOVAH, JESUS, JESUS OF NAZARETH, JUDGE OF ISRAEL, THE JUST ONE, KING, KING OF THE AGES, KING OF THE JEWS, KING OF SAINTS, LAWGIVER, LAMB, LAMB OF GOD, LEADER AND COMMANDER, THE LIFE, LIGHT OF THE WORLD, LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH, LORD OF ALL, LORD OF GLORY, LORD OF LORDS, LORD OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, MAN OF SORROWS, MEDIATOR, MESSENGER OF THE COVENANT, MESSIAH, MIGHTY GOD, MIGHTY ONE, MORNING STAR, NAZARENE, ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, OUR PASSOVER, PRINCE OF LIFE, PRINCE OF KINGS, PRINCE OF PEACE, PROPHET, REDEEMER, RESURRECTION AND LIFE, ROCK, ROOT OF DAVID, ROSE OF SHARON, SAVIOR, SHEPHERD AND BISHOP OF SOULS, SHILOH, SON OF THE BLESSED, SON OF DAVID, SON OF GOD, SON OF THE HIGHEST, SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUE LIGHT, TRUE VINE, TRUTH, WITNESS, WORD, WORD OF GOD.
