Jehoshua, name already popular in Judah, 2000 years ago. It first appears in the Bible with reference to the secretary of Moses and his successor in the leadership of Israel, according to the divine choice. The name is a combination of God’s Name, Yahve, and the verb shuah, “to save”. Its translation could be multiple, but with variants from the same semantic spectrum. The idea is that Yahweh is Salvation, or I Am the Salvation. it is not just a simple message about the God from heaven but also about the God who is here and now our salvation, the Son of God, our Redeemer, the Head of the new creation in which we too are saved as being new creatures in Christ, sons of God in the Son.
