of one another.
To approach the name of Yahshua from another perspective, it is said that Yahshua
would come in the name of Yahweh. Let us examine what this means.

John 12:12-13
On the next day the great multitude who had come to the feast, when they heard that
Yahshua was coming to Jerusalem, took the branches of the palm trees, and went
out to meet Him, and began to cry out, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the
name of Yahweh, even the King of Israel."

Of course, all of our popular English translations say, “Blessed is He who comes in the
name of the Lord,” but this scripture in John is actually a direct fulfillment of Psalms
118:26.

Psalms 118:26
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of Yahweh; we have blessed you from the
house of Yahweh.

What does it mean to come in the name of Yahweh? On one level it certainly means
that Yahshua came in the authority of Yahweh. On another level it also indicates that He
came bearing the name of Yahweh. As we have already indicated, Yah is a form of the name
Yahweh that occurs 49 times in the Old Testament. Yahshua fulfilled this scripture by
coming in the authority of Yahweh and also by bearing His name as part of His own.
The apostle Paul was a Pharisee, well versed in the scriptures. When he spoke the
following, he was quoting from the scriptures that he knew so well.

Romans 10:13
for "Whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved."
(NAS)

What scripture was Paul quoting from?

Joel 2:32
"And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of Yahweh will be saved; for
on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as Yahweh has said,
even among the survivors whom Yahweh calls.”

When Paul said “Whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved,” to whom
was he referring? If we look only a few verses further down we see that it is the Messiah, or
Christ.

Romans 10:17
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

As the message of Christ, or Messiah, is preached then people are able to call upon His
name and be saved. We are further told that “there is salvation in no other name” (Acts
4:12), yet when Joel prophetically writes about coming days he states, “And it will come
