More Than a Name
When I refer to Yeshua ben Joseph instead of “Jesus,” some people assume I’m simply trying to be trendy or “New Agey.” Others wonder why the name matters at all. After all, isn’t it the same person?
This question is both simple and profound because Yeshua and Jesus are not just different names—they represent different perspectives, even different beings.
Yeshua was his Aramaic name, the language he spoke and heard throughout his life. It means “salvation” or “to deliver,” and it connects us to the man who walked the Earth as a realized Master. In Hebrew, his name was sometimes written as Yehoshua, a longer form meaning “Yahweh is salvation.” This connects him to the lineage of Hebrew wisdom, including figures like Joshua in the Old Testament.

Her words, “Open your eyes, dear ones, wake up!”, resonate as both an invitation and a call to action.
