<< A MISSION OF SAVING >>

------------------------------------------------------
(1.)  "Saving" is His Name:" 
------------------------------------------------------

Jehovah is His name.  Salvation is what He provides.  Jehovah means "I Am" - so sacred that it is not repeated; Hebrew does not have an "I am."  The shortened version of Jehovah is "Jeho."
Connected to "Shua." the abbreviation of "salvation" it is pronounced Jeho-Shua.  By the time Jeho-shua was transliterated into Greek, Latin and English, it became Jesus.  He is the "I AM" who "saves."

------------------------------------------------------
(2.)  Words and Names About Saving:  
------------------------------------------------------

The word Hosanna comes from two Hebrew words.  The first part "Ho" is a derived, shortened version of the unmentionable name of the Lord, "Jehovah."  The second part refers to salvation.  In other words, "Hosanna" is a happy acclaim of "The Lord who saves" or "Salvation is of the Lord!" Hosanna is a praise much like Hallelujah, which literally means "Praise the Lord."  "Hallel" is "praise" and "Ya" is another form of Jehovah.

------------------------------------------------------
(3.) Jonah's Account-about Saving:
------------------------------------------------------

His four chapters are an interesting study in contrasts, opposites, poetry and literary style are a testimony with one purpose:  It is to witness that the Lord saves.  He says that clearly in chapter 2, verse 9, "Salvation is of the Lord."

------------------------------------------------------
(4.)  Prayers must Be Sung:
------------------------------------------------------

"Rock of Salvation" Saves "Rocky:"  The saving nature of Jesus' mission is reflected in his personality.  When Children gathered around Him, He might have had special names or nicknames for them, for he even called Simon Bar Jonah, Peter, a name denoting rock, "Rocky!"  Maybe Simon's physique was like a rock.  Later the "rock" would sink, and Jesus, the Rock of Salvation, would save him.
