In Hebrew, each letter carries its own meaning and numerical value. When they combine they create concepts far beyond the meaning of the words themselves. For instance, Yeshua means Savior, and is translated in English as Jesus.
But here’s the breakdown:
The “y” or “yud” at the beginning means the penetration of the infinite into the finite, God’s penetration into the world. The “sh” or “shin” signifies His fire, His protective, loving, nurturing femininity, and His peace. The “oo” or “vav” represents His arm of grace extended down to mankind. The “ah” or “ayin” means “eye” or “well of water,” because our eyes are full of water.
Thus, Yeshua means, “the Infinite God penetrates earth to bring us His fiery, protective, nurturing peace, His arm of grace, to look upon us and give us His Living Water.” YESHUA!
Hallelujah!
