The Messiah's name is explained in where it tells us that 'he shall save his people from their sins'. The 'he' relates to Yahweh, while the 'save his people' element relates to one of the four Hebrew verbs meaning salvation, most likely 'Yahsha'. Here is reflected the name of the Messiah. The attempted transliteration of the Hebrew name into English by most Bible translations give the variation "Jehoshua". However, the form Jehoshua is questionable in that firstly, the vowel points which dictate this form of transliteration are less ancient than the letters of the word having been introduced between 600 and 900 C.E.
