BCP Mini | Why 'YAHSHUA' Is the Wrong Pronunciation: Hebrew Lesson - A Messianic Jew explains

In the unholy war of names, the Master Yeshua gets caught in the crossfire with the maiming of His name based on spurious Sacred Name doctrines. In this excerpt, Kevin gives us a simple, yet detailed Hebrew lesson explaining how the Messiah's name is not pronounced "Yahshua" or "Yahushua" but "Yeshua."

The Biblically Correct Podcast: Teaching Biblical Correctness in a Biblically Incorrect World

Kevin Geoffrey, Messianic Jewish Teacher
Perfect Word Ministries & MJMI

The Biblically Correct Podcast is a ministry of Perfect Word Ministries. Our goal is to equip both Jewish and Gentile believers in Yeshua through sound, Scriptural exhortation to uphold God’s word as their solely authoritative standard for life in Messiah. Our vision is to provide teachings from a Messianic Jewish perspective that promote Yeshua-centric, scriptural principles and values, and confront unbiblical beliefs that are hostile to the Scriptures. We value the Scriptures—from the Torah to the New Covenant Writings—above all religions and traditions of man, not to disesteem those traditions, but to elevate the perfect word of God.

I have to admit that I was previously involved with a “True Name” group for seven years and I became a full blown linguistically challenged but hyper pharisaical judge of all mankind. It almost completely destroyed my life and family relationships and even my well paying job that I loved and led to my almost homeless state of being. Needless to say that I was completely deceived and super self righteous, but thankfully the Lord Jesus Christ is a very merciful and gracious Lord and saviour. Hallelujah I am so grateful to see this beautiful teaching on the Hebrew grammar and correct spelling of our Lord and Saviour’s name in the Hebrew language. It now no longer is my bizarre obsession but an interesting look at the Hebrew language. Thank You wonderful Lord Jesus Christ, my precious Lord and saviour. Blessings to all who shared this great teaching thank you very much.

I am an English speaking Texan and I say His Name Jesus and Yeshua❣️Thank you very much for sharing.

[frankignatius]

Knowing how to say His Holy Name is nice, it's more important to live in and for His Name! ☦️

[Blessed...]

Jesus told me that it's not how you say it, it's what's in your heart when you say it.

It's not how you say it, it's what's in your heart

In southern California we pronounce it "JESUS" ♡.

[rianahayes]

Thank you for correcting us. I speak Afrikaans, so I rely on spell correction. Every time I type Jeshua, it corrects it to Jahshua.

[gunlovingliberal]

Thanks for the best analysis of the original name I have seen. 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

[Ahuntrgw]

Thank you VERY much for this short video, sir, it has been a help to me.

There is always a temptation for a kind of gnostic rush in thinking you're recovering lost information and the 'real story'. This appeals to human pride.

[bobcatsdroid]

I love how you tried to break it down. My only ask is what is the name the Father gave Him? Luke 1:31?

Any time I see Yahusha and Yahuah I know that I'm dealing with the Hebrew Roots cult and not Messianic brethren.

[JRandallS]

I am curious. What form of Joshua was used in the Prophet Zechariah, where he spoke of the unification of the priesthood and kingship?

[michaelsabados]

There was a man that learned & spoke different asian languages for a YouTube channel (he ate a lot of pork chinese food) & I kept hearing ‘yeshua’ in what he was saying - I was recently reborn & looked it up, behold it was YESHUA!
It goes to show, The Lord can use anyone & anything to lead His people to Him!
— Later I found out in torah that people should not eat unclean things, like pork & Yeshua never declared ‘all foods clean’ - just food eaten with unwashed hands in a hand washing ceremony.
— Deuteronomy 14:21 said ‘don’t cook a calf in it’s own mother’s milk’ & almost all cheese making facilities use calf rennet to make their cheese (it’s literally cooking a baby cow in it’s mother’s milk). But due to the mandela effect, it now says ‘don’t cook a baby goat in it’s own mother’s milk.’ The moral of the meaning, don’t make death in something used to create life - especially when cooking a kosher mammal (this is a problem when celebrating Shavuot)!

Interesting...
I made a video why it IS pronounced Yahshua, but in saying that all three forms appear in the archeological record and in Scripture Yahushua/Yehoshua (יהושוע), Yahshua (יהשוע), Y'shua (ישוע).
The extremele abbreviated version was common at the time of the Messiah, but I still prefer the full spelling with the Trigrammaton included.
Interestingly, you mentioned that the name Yehoshua only appears twice in the TaNaKh, yet that is if you lean on the Masoretic Text. There are a further six (so far) in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The Masoretes also had a habit of removing the Divine Name יהוה from the Texts and there are over 120 instances proven from the DSS again where the Tetragrammaton has been substituted with Elohim or Adonai.

YHWH, Yod Hey Waw Hey, YAH-WAH, our FATHER; YHWSHA, Yod Hey Waw Shin Ayin, YAH-W-SHA. Shalom!

[malangerber]

Thank you very much. In Nehemiah 8:17 we read in the ASV; "And all the assembly of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in the booths; for since the days of *Jeshua the son of Nun* unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness." Your explanation is therefore acknowledged by the ASV, ESV, KJV and RV.  Good comment.

"Yeshua" simply means "deliverance." Correct me if I'm wrong. "Yehoshua" points to the one for deliverance. "Yah" is Deliverer. Is this not correct? Yehoshua was always about His Father's work, was He not? The Father, through the Ruach HaChodesh, delivers. The Son points to the Father. The Father points you right back to the Son, via the Torah. Is this not correct?
