The English name ‘Jesus’ comes from a Latin transliteration of a Greek rendering of the Savior’s name; however, ‘Jesus’ was not Greek, Latin or English, he was an Israelite. The angel refers to Joseph as a ‘son of David’, thus Jesus’ human lineage as found in Matthew and Luke was from the Tribe of Judah making him Jewish. When Joseph took his infant son to be circumcised and named, he did not name him ‘Jesus.’ When his parents wanted him for dinner, they did not call him ‘Jesus.’ His brothers and sisters did not call him ‘Jesus.’ His friends and relatives in the Galilee did not call him ‘Jesus.’ His disciples and the Jewish leaders of the day did not call him ‘Jesus.’ They called him Yeshua.
"Your eyes will see Jerusalem: A tent which will not be folded; its stakes will never be pulled up" (Isaiah 33:20).
