Shalom,

Joh 21:10  KJV
Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
Joh 21:11  KJV
Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
Joh 21:12  KJV
Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

Why was it 153 fish? Does 153 have a meaning?

We know that Yeshua (Jesus) is a Jew. He is the Jewish Messiah. In Hebrew alphabet, each letter has a numerical value.

You must see each Hebrew letter and its numerical value.

Now let us see why it is 153 fish.

The sentence : I AM GOD in Hebrew is ANI [אני] ELOHIM [אלהים].
In Hebrew letter אני - אלהים

If we count the numerical value of ANI ELOHIM, we will find the number 153.

Hallelu-Yah! Baruch HaShem b'Shem Yeshua HaMashiach.

His Name is Yeshua, NOT Yahshua

Shalom,

How do we get the Name "Yeshua" as the Name of Messiah?

This is really quite a simple exercise. The name יֵשׁוּעַ (Yeshua) appears multiple times in Ezra and Nehemiah and once in each of the books of Chronicles.

1Ch 24:11  KJV
The ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,

1Ch 24:11  Westminster Leningrad Codex
 לְיֵשׁ֙וּעַ֙ הַתְּשִׁעִ֔י לִשְׁכַנְיָ֖הוּ הָעֲשִׂרִֽי

1Ch 24:11  Hebrew Transliteration
le.ye.shu.a ha.te.shi.i lish.khan.ya.hu ha.a.si.ri

In the English, you can usually find it as "Jeshua".

To arrive at the correct pronunciation, however, we have to accept and fully understand the Masoretic vowel pointings.

Those who are insistent upon the "YAHshua" pronunciation reject the traditional Masoretic vowel pointings when it does not suit their beliefs. Or the other possibility is, they do not understand the Hebrew.

The name begins with a Hebrew letter י (YOD), which carries with it the sound of our English "Y".

The vowel point associated with the YOD is the "ֵ"(tsere).

Tsere ( Hebrew : צֵירֵי‎, sometimes צירה ) is a Hebrew niqqud vowel sign represented by two dots "ֵ" underneath a letter.

In modern Hebrew, it indicates the phoneme /e/ which is the same as the "e" sound in "sell" and is transliterated as an "e". In modern Hebrew, a tsere makes the same sound as a segol.

Segol (Hebrew : סֶגּוֹל‎) is a Hebrew niqqud vowel sign that is represented by three dots forming an upside down equilateral triangle "ֶ".

So, with tsere, it makes the vowel sound "eh" in sephardic/modern Hebrew ("ey" in Ashkenazi).

Let's look again at the Hebrew Name : יֵשׁ֙וּעַ֙

So the first letter is the יֵ (YOD) and with the tsere ( two dots "ֵ" underneath a letter ) , the sound is "yeh".

The second letter is the שׁ֙ (SHIN) and makes the "sh" sound.

The third letter is the וּ  (VAV) with the וּ (shuruk) pointing, which makes an "oo" sound. (The ו alone makes a "v" sound, but when it appears as וּ the ו functions as a vowel.)

Together, יֵשׁוּ makes the sound "yeh-shoo". The final letter is the ע (AYIN).

By itself, the ע is a silent letter, however, it appears as עַ with the ַ (patakh) vowel pointing, which adds the "ah" sound to the letter.

Together, the three syllables of יֵשׁוּעַ are pronounced "yeh-shoo-ah".

We transliterate this in English as "Yeshua."

Name of Yeshua in Gen 22:15-16

Shalom,

Do you know that there is a message from the Hebrew Text in Gen 22:15-16? It is a message within a message!

When you know God is in control and He keeps Covenant you become bold in your faith. Let me show you a phenomenal bible code that only God can do.  In this very important verse where we see Isaac is offered up as Abraham's only son, in the Hebrew, we find Yeshua's name going down with a Hebrew phrase surrounding it!




Hallelu-Yah! God the Father has revealed His Son's Name in Tanakh.

Keep in His Word.

Blessing,
Andre
