JESUS or YESHUA?
THE HISTORY OF THE (TWO) HEBREW LANGUAGE(S)
Over the past decade there's been an explosion of Christians who have joined a very popular trend to follow the teachings of Kabbalist Rabbis, who promote the false name change of Jesus to Yeshua (or other various forms of faux Hebrew names like Yahusha, YahHushua, ect.) It is based on a deception that says the original New Testament was written in Hebrew, and that Jesus's name in Hebrew is Yeshua. However, This is false.
THE ORIGINAL NEW TESTAMENT MANUSCRIPT EVIDENCE
The evidence is unequivocal: every single one of the original New Testament manuscripts were FIRST written in Greek, all 5,255 that are known.
In sharp contrast there are NO ORIGINAL ancient Hebrew manuscripts of the New Testament... WHATSOEVER.
Later translations from the Greek texts were completed in Latin, Coptic, Syriac, Ethiopic, Armenian, and Georgian. Some late-antique Jewish polemical works do include modern Hebrew translations of parts of the New Testament, but the earliest extant Hebrew version of a complete New Testament book is the fourteenth century version of Matthew, included in a polemical work by the Jewish scholar Shem Tov, but even then, it has elements from Latin and medieval vernacular languages that prove it is a late translation derived from the known Greek Book of Matthew, rather than reflecting an original Hebrew version of the book.
There are existing Syriac manuscripts (different versions of the Aramaic language) but the evidence proves that even these were translated from the original Greek New Testament manuscripts.
If we examine ALL the 5,255 known original New Testament manuscripts we see that every single writer of the New Testament wrote the name Ἰησοῦς (Iēsoûs) JESUS as the Son of God...
Yes, they wrote the name JESUS every. single. time.
Something that is VERY important to understand that NOT ONCE did Jesus refer to God the Father as Yahweh. He never used the Tetragrammaton (YHVH) when addressing his Father, and not only that, he never referred to the cascading names that are invented from the Tetragrammaton like Elohim, Jehovah, or Adonai. He ONLY called God "Father" or Abba (which is Father in Aramaic.)
It is absolutely vital to understand that this is true for all of Jesus' Apostles. The Tetragrammaton is not found ONCE in any of the original New Testament manuscripts. The Tetragrammaton (which the a concept of a magical 4 letter First name for God) is an invention of the Kabbalists. YHVH is revered and used heavily in the occult world for ritualistic and ceremonial magick.
IMPORTANT FACTS:
- Ancient Paleo Hebrew became a functionally extinct language 550 BC ( hundreds of years before Jesus) and its spoken form is still unknowable today.
- The new Modern Hebrew 2.0 language (what's written today) wasn't invented until centuries after the life and ministry of Jesus.
- This new Hebrew 2.0 was ONLY a written version of modern Hebrew 2.0 (invented, developed and finalized sometime between 160-600 AD)
- The modern written Hebrew 2.0 is heavily plagiarized form the Aramaic alphabet, and not a true "resurrection" of the ancient Paleo Hebrew language that died.
- Modern spoken Hebrew 2.0 wasn't invented until recently in the late 1800's by Rabbi Eliezer Ben-Yehuda.
- The new modern spoken and written Hebrew 2.0 language used today, is not the same true ancient "paleo Hebrew" but was invented after the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, and is a totally different language than the extinct ancient Paleo Hebrew.
- Jesus and the Apostles read, spoke, and wrote in Greek, and also Aramaic, not Hebrew 2.0 (because the ancient paleo Hebrew was dead, and the new modern Hebrew 2.0 wasn't invented yet.)







ANCIENT PALEO-HEBREW VS. MODERN HEBREW

When the Jews were taken into captivity into Babylon between 600-500 BC, they began the total abandonment of the paelo-Hebrew language of Moses. It was then that they chose to adopt the Babylonian language called Aramaic, in favor over paleo-Hebrew, which eventually became a dead language by the 2nd Century BC, 200 years before the birth of Jesus the Christ.
All who lived in the melting pot of Jerusalem and Judaea from the time of the return of the exiles under Ezra and Nehemiah, till the time of Christ in the first century AD, had no knowledge of Paleo Hebrew of Abraham, Moses, and the ancient patriarchs. Paleo Hebrew was no longer used for any form of communication, except for sacred temple ritual use by the small number of priests and Levites, just like Latin became for liturgy and for mass in the Vatican Roman Catholic so-called Church by its cardinals and priests.
The so-called modern Hebrew used today (Hebrew 2.0) is not a true resurrection of the ancient paleo-Hebrew of Moses, but instead is a mishmash of stolen words from Arabic, Turkic, German, Yiddish, Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussian. It was created Less than 150 years ago by a non-Abrahamic, Slavic Talmudist “rabbi”, named Eliezer Ben Yehuda.
It is important to know that the Greek Old Testament Septuagint LXX is one of the oldest surviving “Old Testament Bible” translations and was directly translated from the Paleo-Hebrew texts during the 2nd century BC, because the paleo-Hebrew language was dying, and the Jews needed to preserve the scriptures in the most commonly used language of the time, Greek, thanks to the conquests of Alexander the Great.
the Greek Old Testament Septuagint LXX was the Old Testament Scriptures that Jesus and the Apostles used. We know this because in the New Testament scriptures, Jesus and the Apostles quoted the Greek Septuagint Old Testament scriptures, and not the Hebrew 2.0 Masoretic Texts Old Testament, which weren’t even created until after the earthly life and ministry of Jesus.
The Greek Septuagint is almost 1,000 years older than the Masoretic Texts, and the Masoretic texts were written in the script Hebrew 2.0 language (heavily plagiarized Aramaic script) which wasn’t invented as a spoken language until recently in the late 1800’s when the Talmudist Rabbi Eliezer ben Yehuda invented a new spoken language he called Modern Hebrew, and it’s the only Hebrew that is currently spoken today. No one knows how the ancient paleo-Hebrew language of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses sounded as that has been dead for over 1,000 years.
INVENTING THE NEW HEBREW 2.0

Around 200-300 AD the Masoretes, a group of Talmudic/Kabbalist Pharisees, began engineering a new written only Hebrew 2.0 language that heavily plagiarized the Aramaic alphabet.

THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS DECEPTION

Dead Sea Scroll fragment 5/6HEV PS found in the Cave of Letters at Nahal Hever

BUT HOW CAN HIS NAME BE "JESUS" IF THE LETTER "J" DIDN'T EXIST UNTIL THE 16TH CENTURY?


IS THE NAME JESUS ACTUALLY DEROGATORY?
There’s also claims from some misguided folks that the name Jesus really means “Earth Pig” or even “hail Zeus”, but this is false too, as we can can see in the English to Greek translations:
- JESUS = Ιησούς
- EARTH PIG = Γήινος χοίρος
- HAIL ZUES = Χαίρε Δία.
In Latin the name “Jesus” does not directly translate to “Earth-Pig”, as some sources may suggest. Instead, the Latin name “Iesu” is an adaptation of the Greek “Iesous.”
YESHUA = METATRON, NOT JESUS
Although many think that Jesus's true name is Yeshua (or Yahshua) it is not. Yeshua is actually referring to the messiah of the Kabbalah, who is also named Metatron who is not the Jesus Christ of the Bible, but is actually more in alignment to be Lucifer, the false angel of light. Metatron is built upon earlier occult "mysteries" about Enoch coupled with a total rejection of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Here are some fascinating quotes about Metatron from Deanne Loper's book Kabbalah Secrets Christians Need to Know. The book is a response to Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira's book The Return of the Kosher Pig.
SUMMARIZING KEY POINTS:
- Yeshua is not the true name of Jesus.
- Ancient Paleo Hebrew became an extinct and dead language hundreds of years before Jesus was born.
- Modern written Hebrew didn't exist until the Masoretes plagiarized Aramaic hundreds of years after the crucifixion of Jesus.
- The Dead Sea Scrolls are written in this new Modern Hebrew (that was created after Christ) not the ancient paleo Hebrew (that was only spoken before Christ)
- Jesus and the Apostles spoke Greek, and Aramaic, not Hebrew. Jews of this time did not know how to speak Paleo Hebrew.
- It wasn't until the late 1800's that modern spoken Hebrew was invented.
- All the original New Testament manuscripts were written in Greek, not Hebrew. Even the "Epistle to the Hebrews", written by Paul, a Jew and former Pharisee, was written in Greek.
- The name they originally wrote for Jesus was Ἰησοῦς (Iēsoûs).
- Yeshua is the name for Metatron, who is Lucifer the false Angel of Light, as described in the Kabbalah. Yeshua is not Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
- Jesus is his true name and "Christ" is his title.



By calling on the name of Jesus Christ I was literally born again as described in John 3:3. From that day on, Jesus Christ began a work in me and renewed my heart and mind, making me a new creation in Christ, as described in 2 Corinthians 5:17. I was miraculously freed my my insatiable addictions, lustful perversions, homosexuality, alcoholism, and other chemical addictions. By calling out and surrendering to the name of Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, I received the promises made in the New Testament of the Bible.
"Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
-Philippians 2:9–11
