Yeshu = Y'shua (Jesus) = Yeshuah (Salvation)
Have you ever met a Jew called Yeshu? No, right? Do you want to know why? It is very simple. We Jews don't have a name like that. But we have some names that are similar and some that are very Jewish.
For example: Joshua, Sheya (famous Israeli soccer player), and also Y'shua.
So how is it that there is a Jew that all of us call Yeshu? Where did that name spring
from? It is time for everyone to hear the truth.
Yeshu is simply the changing of the real name of the Jewish Messiah. His real name is Y'shua. Because He came to save His people Israel.
Prophecies in the Old Testament that were written hundreds of years before His coming point clearly at the fact that Y'shua is the one that was supposed to come before the destruction of the 2nd temple (Daniel 9:26). To be born in Bethlehem (Micha 5:1). To die as a sacrifice for us (Is. 53:6). And to rise from the dead three days later (Psalm 16:10).
And by doing that, save us all.
But there is one more thing that the prophecies of the Old Testament revealed to us about Him. As surprising as it sounds, that same Savior was supposed to be rejected by His people Israel. Isaiah prophesied this when he said Isaiah 53:3 (quote of the verse). And that is exactly what happened. Not only did we not recognize our Savior. Not only
did we hide our faces from Him. But we also changed His name.
In the days of the Middle Ages a certain number of rabbis decided to get rid of the last letter of His name - the letter “Ain”- and in that way they hid His real name and His real identity from all of the following generations.
His real name Y'shua exposes the truth. Y'shua came to be salvation for everyone. But first and foremost for us the Jews. So, if you consider yourself Jewish you can't allow
yourself to miss Y'shua.
