“Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and give birth to a son, and will call his name ‘Jesus.’” (Luke 1:31 WEB)
The naming of Jesus, or the original Hebrew name, Yeshua, is very significant.
It instantly unlocks many parts of the Old Testament. It is like a big clue that allows you to solve many pieces of God’s jigsaw puzzle.
For example, consider the following verse:
“Behold, Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth, “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your salvation comes. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.’”” (Isaiah 62:11 WEB)
The word translated as “salvation” in the verse above is actually “Yeshua” in the original Hebrew.
So the verse is actually talking about Jesus. Suddenly, we understand that Isaiah’s prophecies about “salvation” and “righteousness” coming to Israel is actually referring to Jesus.
Jesus is the righteousness of God. He did no sin, knew no sin and in Him is no sin. He is the embodiment of divine righteousness.
In case you have any doubt that the verse above is talking about Jesus, take a look at the following verse:
““Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.” (Revelation 22:12 WEB)
It is the same. Jesus identifies Himself as the “salvation” that Isaiah prophesied about.
Yes, Jesus will come again, and there will be a day where we will be rewarded for all the good works we have done for His sake.
If you want to learn more about God’s eternal rewards and how to maximize them, especially seeing as the Lord’s return seems closer than ever, you can read my book “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”.
It is rated 5 stars on Amazon. This is what one reader said in a review, “I recommend all Milton's books. Milton is a very good writer and extremely skilled at making difficult passages clear. He excels especially at interpreting the gospels of Jesus and the parables. I highly recommend all his teachings and books. He is one of the best Bible teachers I've come across!”
Another one: “”Sandcastles Won't Last Forever" is very well written, its message loud and clear. Milton Goh gives common sense insight on often confusing scripture, which is much appreciated in these troubled times.My understanding of the Bible has definitely improved.”
For a limited time only, this book is going at only $9.90 instead of $15. Order your copy on Amazon at this link: https://www.amazon.com/Sandcastles-Dont-Last-Forever-Biblical/dp/172671327X
