Believe That Jesus Is in the Old Testament (Christianity)

Have you read what the prophet Daniel saw in a vision at night: "behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before Him." (Daniel 7:13) [1]

And: there was given him dominion, and glory, and a [global] kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall never be destroyed. (Daniel 7:14) [2]
Have you thought about whether "Jesus is the one 'like a man' spoken of by Daniel" so that either the one like a man is Jesus referred to in the books of the "Old Testament" or is not. What is a special Hebrew name for -- God, thy salvation...? It is simply "Y'shua" (Yehoshua)--according to the Bible. And is that "Jesus"? [3]

Steps

Reading the Names Used for Jesus

  1. Connect the reference used. Consider this - who "is like a son of man" and is worshipped in every nation.
  2. Investigate this one - "like a son of man" who is so worthy...
  3. Note that God is revealed and named in many differing ways Teach a Bible Memory Verse to Children. The word "God" is not His name. Many people use Jehovah (Yehoshua, Yeho-vah, Y'vah and Yahweh, Y'weh) as a name of God, (i.e. in Hebrew " יהו " - a noun - Yeho), a reference to YHWH, Yahweh. Other naming of God includes 'Savior', 'our Salvation', 'thy Salvation' or 'my Help' in the time of trouble. Hebrew writing/reading was phonetic but without vowels the correct pronunciation was passed orally.
    • The name Jesus in the Hebrew meaning is Jehovah the Savior (Y'shua) according to "Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary" at the verse in Matthew 1:21.
  4. Look for the name known in English as Jesus and realize that name in Hebrew is "Y'shua" which is a name that is a description of God in the Old Testament referring to being saved by "Yehoshua".
  5. Search the phrase: thy salvation click to see a list of results and click "Next >" for another page of scripture references, repeatedly.
  6. Count the number of times "thy salvation" (Y'shua) is found. The name is found nearly 100 times in the "Old Testament," -- indicating that "Yeho-shua" is a phrase from beginning to the end of "The Bible" -- wasn't that "Jesus?"
  7. Consider the definition of Y'shua as literally being "thy Salvation" who according to the "New Testament" turned out to be Jesus for Y'shua - thy Salvation. He is considered by most of Christianity in the doctrine as divine, deity, Son of God, Savior and many such names.
  8. Conclude thy Salvation -- Y'shua... is found in the Bible from 'Genesis' to Revelation. Such as: " 'I am the Alpha and the Omega', says the Lord God; 'the beginning and the ending', saith the Lord -- which is, and which was, and which is to come -- the Almighty."[4]
  9. Make a choice. Decide to believe (or not) that some, many or all of the references to "Savior, thy Salvation" and similar wordings referring to "The Messiah" and that to Christians thy Salvation is for Jesus Christ the Savior of the world... The angel of God told Joseph, '...do not fear... to take Mary as your wife... for she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus (thy salvation): for he shall save his people from their sins'... Matthew 1:21[5]

Some Old Testament Predictions

  1. See that the Messiah would be "born in Bethlehem." Said From Bethlehem, "One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, From the days of eternity." Micah 5:2, and it was so.
    • But then Jesus' family escaped to Egypt from the Roman Governor of Judah who was killing all boys under two years of age.
  2. Read as foretold "...out of Egypt I called my son..." by (Hosea 11:1 & 2)[6]
    • "...the Lord himself will give you a sign: a virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name 'Emmanuel,' which is, being interpreted He is God with us." (Isaiah 7:14)[7]
    • Zechariah foretold his "entry into Jerusalem on a donkey" and his "betrayal for 30 pieces of silver" by one of his followers.
    • Isaiah described that "The Lord's anointed will preach the good news to the poor, bind up the brokenhearted..." Isaiah 61:1-3
  3. Read of all nations of Earth being shaken/changed when God's Salvation is applied to all. "6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; [soon] I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; 7 And I will shake all nations, and: The desire of all nations shall come [to pass]; and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts." Haggai 2:6-7.

Tips

  • When Joseph was told by an angel that Mary was carrying the "Savior of the world," Joseph was to call his name Jesus, Savior: in saving them from sin. Yehoshua saved His people, not in their sins, but from their sins..
  • Yehoshua or "Jesus," is the same as "Joshua" (who led the people into the promise) who was called a "type of Christ," Y'shua (Hebrew of Joshua and Jesus), Savior from Yehoshua, Jehovah+saves, ie. "יהו - YHWH", + " שוע - shua.
  • The reason for that Y'shua is that He saves from sin being "redeemer," and from the power of sin by His grace.
  • "God saves" and "God knows" (judges): “I will therefore remind you, though ye once knew all [such] things, that Y'shua (thy Salvation), having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, did afterward destroy them that believed not (that had no faith in God):” [8]
    • In the Old Testament that situation is "The Lord (Yahweh) replied..."not one of the men who saw my glory (that God saved from Egypt) and the miraculous signs I performed in Egypt and in the desert but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times--not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their forefathers." [9] Their children and grandchildren received the promise of salvation... and unto all generations from Yehoshua.
  • Isaiah predicted about the Messiah (the Christ): (3) "He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (4) Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. (5) But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53: 3-6)[10]
  • Note: No vowels and no lowercase were found in the early written phonetic language of the Hebrew. YHWH is Jehovah or Yahweh but to write or pronounce God's name in Hebrew was thought to be "using God's name in vain" so the abbreviation Y" means the name of God. Also "G_d saves" is the concept "Y'shua" in English.

Warnings

  • That the uses of Y'shua found in the "Old Testament" is descriptive of the Messiah (the Christ) is absolute, but your belief is by faith as either "Jesus" is or is not the revealed/living "Word of God" as manifested from start to finish in the "Old Testament," Genesis to New Testament Revelation.
